STEP 190 THE WORLD IS EMERGING INTO THE GREATER COMMUNITY OF WORLDS AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE COME.

You have come into the world at a great turning point, a turning point only part of which you will see in your own lifetime. It is a turning point where your world gains contact with the worlds in its vicinity. This is the natural evolution of humanity, as it is the natural evolution of all intelligent life in all worlds. Your world is seeking a Greater Community. This will require that your world’s own internal community become unified. This is also a part of the evolution of all intelligent life in all worlds. You have come here to serve this. There are many levels of service and many things that need to be contributed—on a personal, on a community and on a world level. You are part of this great movement of life, for you are not here for your own purposes alone. You are here to serve the world, and thus be served in return.

你在一个伟大的转折点进入了这个世界，而在你有生之年，你只能看到这转折点的一部分。这是一个转折点，你们的世界开始与邻近的世界接触。这是人类的自然进化，正如所有世界中所有智能生命的自然进化一样。你们的世界正在寻求一个大社区。这要求你们的世界内部的社会必须团结一致。这也是所有智能生命进化的一部分。你来到这里是为了服务这个目标。在个人、社区和世界的层面上，都有许多不同层级的服务需要贡献。你是这个生命伟大运动的一部分，因为你来到这里并不只是为了你自己。你在这里是为了服务这个世界，从而得到服务的回报。

Today in your two longer practice periods, investigate the idea for the day. Give it serious thought, observing those ideas that are in harmony with it and those ideas that disagree with it. Examine your feelings both for and against this idea. Examine your preferences, your prejudices, your beliefs, your hopes, your fears and so forth. This constitutes the first half of each practice period. In the second half, enter stillness and silence, using the word RAHN if you find it to be helpful. Remember that both of these mental activities are necessary and complementary, as you shall learn in the future. Upon the hour repeat the idea for today. Allow it to provide that which you need to see the world in a new way.

今天，在两个较长的练习时间里，研究一下今天的想法。认真思考，观察与之相一致的想法和不一致的想法。审视你对这个想法的支持和反对的感觉。审视自己的偏好、偏见、信仰、希望和恐惧等等。这就是每次练习的前半部分。后半部分，进入静止和沉默状态，如果你觉得RAHN这个词对你有帮助，就使用它。记住，这两种心理活动都是必要的，也是相辅相成的，这一点你以后会学到。每小时重复一次今天的想法。让它为你提供以新的方式看待世界所需要的技能。
