Step 182 Review

Today marks an important turning point in your preparation. Today marks the completion of the first stage of your preparation and the beginning of a new stage. Review the past week in one long practice period and then take time to think how far you have come and how far you need to go. Recognize your growing power and strength. Think of your outer life and recognize how much needs to be accomplished there, both on your own behalf and for the well-being of others. Recognize how little you know and how much is available to you. Do not let any self-doubt dissuade you in your undertaking, for you need only participate to receive the greatest gift that life can give.

今天标志着你准备过程中的一个重要转折点。今天标志着你准备的第一阶段的完成，以及一个新阶段的开始。在一个长时间的练习中回顾过去的一周，然后花时间思考你已经走了多远，以及你还需要走多远。认识到你日益增长的力量和能力。想一想你的外在生活，认识到在你自己以及他人的福祉方面，还有许多需要完成的事情。认识到你所知道的很少，但你可以获得的却很多。不要让任何自我怀疑阻碍你，因为你只需参与其中，即可获得生命能给予的最伟大的礼物。

Review the past week and think now of what has transpired in your preparation thus far. Observe the development that has occurred within you these past few months—the growing sense of presence, the growing sense of inner certainty, the growing sense of inner power. Allow for the fact that your outer life has begun to open. Certain things that were fixed before have now been loosened so that they may be rearranged on your behalf. Allow your outer life to be rearranged, now that you are not seeking to dominate it for your personal protection. As a greater certainty arises within you, outer circumstances must be rearranged on your own behalf. Thus, you become a source of change and not the recipient of it only.

回顾过去的一周，思考你到目前为止的准备过程。观察过去几个月内你自身的发展——日益增强的存在感、日益增强的内在确定性、日益增强的内在力量。承认你的外在生活已经开始打开。一些之前固定的事物现在已经松动，以便为你重新安排。现在，你不再为了个人的安全而试图掌控它时，允许你的外在生活被重新安排。随着你内在的确定性增强，外部环境也必须为你重新调整。因此，你成为了改变的源头，而不仅仅是被动接受改变的人。

Recognize how far you have come, but keep in mind that you are a beginning student of Knowledge. Allow this to be your starting point so that you may assume little and receive a great deal. From this great point of reference, you will be able to see beyond the prejudice and the condemnation of humanity. You will be able to see beyond a personal viewpoint and have a vision of the world that the world is desperate to receive.

认识到你已经走了多远，但请记住，你是内识的初学者。让这一点成为你的起点，以便你假设的很少，获得的却很多。从这个伟大的参照点出发，你将能够超越人类的偏见和谴责。你将能够超越个人视角，拥有世界迫切需要的视野。
