Step 128 My Teachers are with me. I need not fear.

Your Inner Teachers are with you, and you need not fear. If you have sufficient confidence in Knowledge, based upon actual experience, and sufficient confidence in the presence of your Teachers, based upon actual experience, this will give you a certainty and a faith in life that will counteract all fear that is unnecessary. This will leave your mind at ease.

你的内在老师与你同在，你无需恐惧。如果你基于实际经验，对内识有足够的信心，基于实际经验，对你老师的存在有足够的信心，这将给你带来一种确定性和对生命的信心，从而抵消一切不必要的恐惧。这会让你心安理得。

Only concern that your Knowledge is being violated will emanate from Knowledge, and then only to indicate that you need to reassess your actions and ideas. Knowledge has a self-correcting principle. That is why it is your Inner Guidance. If you are going against your Knowledge, you will be ill at ease with yourself, and this will give rise to anxiety. Much of the fear that you experience moment to moment is simply a matter of your own creation, your own negative imagination. But, then, there is fear that is born of the violation of Knowledge. This is more a discomfort than a fear, for it rarely carries with it any kind of imagery at all, though ideas can come into your mind as a form of warning should you be attempting a behavior or a line of thinking that is dangerous or destructive.

只有当你的内识受到侵犯时，内识才会发出担忧，然后才会表明你需要重新评估自己的行为和观念。内识具有自我纠正原则。这就是为什么它是你的内在指引。如果你违背了内识，你就会对自己感到不自在，从而产生焦虑。你每时每刻都在经历的恐惧，很多都是你自己制造出来的，是你自己的负面想象。但是，也有一些恐惧源于对内识的侵犯。这种恐惧与其说是恐惧，不如说是一种不适，因为它很少带有任何形式的意象，尽管如果你试图采取危险或破坏性的行为或思维方式，想法可能会作为一种警告形式进入你的心灵。

Fear that is born of negative imagination comprises the vast majority of the fear with which you entertain yourself. This you must learn to counteract, for it is an inappropriate use of your mind. Here you create an experience for yourself, experience it and then call it reality. Meanwhile, you have not been present with life at all. You have merely been in fantasy within yourself. Negative imagination drains you emotionally, physically and mentally. It can be escalated to such heights that it can dominate your thinking altogether. For how else can you be separate in the universe except in your own thoughts? You cannot actually be separate from God. You cannot actually be separate from Knowledge. You can only hide in your own thoughts and weave them together to create a separate identity and experience for yourself which, though quite demonstrative, are in fact completely an illusion.

由消极想象产生的恐惧占你自娱自乐的恐惧的绝大部分。你必须学会抵制这种恐惧，因为这是对心灵的不当使用。在这里，你为自己创造一种经历，体验它，然后称之为现实。与此同时，你根本没有与生命同在。你只是沉浸在自己的幻想中。消极的想象会消耗你的情感、身体和心理。它可以升级到如此高度，以至于完全主宰你的思维方式。因为除了在你自己的感想中，你还能在宇宙中分离吗？你实际上无法与上帝分离。你实际上无法与内识分离。你只能隐藏在你自己的感想中，并将它们编织在一起，为自己创造一种独立的身份和体验，虽然这很有说服力，但实际上完全是一种幻觉。

In your two meditation practices today, once again enter into stillness. Today there will be no mental speculation or activity, for the mind will once again come to rest so that it may experience its reality. Let not fear or anxiety dissuade you. Remember, this is your negative imagination only. Only Knowledge can indicate if you are doing something inappropriate, and that will only be in the face of immediate events. You will find that this is quite different from negative imagination and will require a different response from you.

在今天的两次冥想练习中，请再次进入静止状态。今天将不会有任何心理猜测或活动，因为心灵将再次得到休息，从而体验到它自己的真实。不要因为恐惧或焦虑而放弃。记住，这只是你的消极想象。只有内识才能指出你是否做了不恰当的事情，而这只会在面对眼前的事件时才会出现。你会发现这与消极想象截然不同，需要你做出不同的反应。
