Step 157 I am not alone in the universe.

You are not alone in the universe because you are part of the universe. You are not alone in the universe because your mind is joined with all minds. You are not alone in the universe because the universe is with you. You are now learning to be with the universe so that your relationship with life may be fully reclaimed and so that it may express itself in your world. The world sets a poor example for this, for humanity has lost its relationship with life and now seeks desperately within the realms of imagination and fantasy to find that which has been lost. Be happy today, then, that the means for life’s reclamation have been given to you so that you may give yourself to your practice and to your destiny. In this way, you are affirmed. You are not alone in the universe. The depth of this idea is far greater than what it appears to be at first. It is a statement of absolute truth, but it must be experienced to be comprehended.

你在宇宙中并不孤单，因为你是宇宙的一部分。你在宇宙中并不孤单，因为你的心灵与所有心灵相连。你在宇宙中并不孤单，因为宇宙与你同在。你现在要学习与宇宙同在，这样你与生命的关系才能得到完全恢复，这样它才能在你的世界中表达自己。这个世界在这方面树立了一个糟糕的榜样，因为人类已经失去了与生命的关系，现在拼命在想象和幻想的领域中寻找已经丢失的生命。那么，今天要高兴的是，你已经获得了重获生命的方法，从而可以将自己给予你的实践和天命。这样，你就得到了肯定。你在宇宙中并不孤单。这个想法的深度远远超过它最初的表象。这是一个绝对真理的陈述，但必须亲身经历才能理解。

Therefore, upon the hour remind yourself of this statement. Attempt to feel it in whatever circumstance you find yourself. In your two longer meditation practices, attempt to experience your complete inclusion in life. You need not think of ideas or see images, but only feel the presence of life of which you are a part. You are within life. You are immersed in life. Life is embracing you. Beyond any images the world may present, beyond any actions the world may demonstrate, you are within the loving embrace of life.

因此，每当此时，请提醒自己这句话。无论你身处何种环境，都要尝试去感受它。在两次较长时间的冥想练习中，尝试体验自己完全融入生命的感觉。你不需要思考想法或看到图像，只需要感受生命的存在，你是生命的一部分。你就在生命之中。你沉浸在生命的怀抱。生命正在拥抱你。超越世界可能呈现的任何形象，超越世界可能展示的任何行动，你正在生命之爱的怀抱中。
