Step 177 I will learn to be honest today.

There is a greater honesty that is waiting for you to discover. There is a greater honesty that you must utilize on your own behalf. It is not enough merely to know how you feel. It is a greater requirement to feel what you know. This is a greater honesty and an honesty that is in harmony with life itself, an honesty that reflects the true advancement of all beings in the world. This is not merely expressing and demanding that your personal intent be carried out. It is demanding instead that the necessity of life within you may express itself in a way that is genuine to life itself. The form and the manner of this expression will be contained in the messages that you will need to deliver to others when the time comes for that to happen.

有一种更大的诚实等待你去发现。你必须运用这种更大的诚实来支持自己。仅仅知道自己的感受是不够的，更大的要求是感受你所知道的。这是一种更大的诚实，一种与生命本身和谐的诚实，一种反映世界上所有生命真实进步的诚实。这不仅仅是表达和要求你个人的意图被执行，而是要求你内心深处生命的必要性以一种真正符合生命本身的方式来表达。当时机成熟时，这种表达的形式和方式将包含在你需要传递给他人的讯息中。

Learn, then, to feel what you know. This is a greater honesty. It requires both openness and restraint. It requires selfinspection. It requires objectivity about your life. It requires stillness and peace as well as the ability to engage your mind actively in exploration. Thus, all that you have learned so far is contributed and utilized in today’s practice.

那么，学会去感受你所知道的吧。这是一种更大的诚实。它既需要开放又需要克制。它需要自我反省。它需要对你的生命保持客观。它需要静止与和平，也需要你能够积极地运用你的心灵进行探索。因此，迄今为止你所学到的一切都将被用于今天的练习。

Remind yourself upon the hour of today’s practice and seriously consider it in the moment in which you find yourself. In the longer practices today, again enter stillness and engage your mind in this meaningful activity. The mind must be brought into the proximity of its Ancient Home for it to find comfort and peace. This requires self-discipline at the outset, but once the engagement is made, the process happens in and of itself naturally.

提醒自己每小时进行一次今天的练习，并在当下认真思考。在今天更长的练习中，再次进入宁静，并让你的心灵参与到这个有意义的活动中。为了找到安慰与和平，心灵必须被带入其古老家园的邻近之地。这在一开始需要自律，但一旦投入其中，这个过程就会自然而然地发生。

Learn to become more honest today. Learn to discern a greater level of honesty, a genuine level of honesty that affirms your very nature and does not betray your highest purpose.

今天学会变得更加诚实。学会辨别更高水平的诚实，这种真正的诚实肯定了你的自然，并且不会背叛你的最高宗旨。
