STEP 214 I DO NOT UNDERSTAND MYSELF.

This is not a statement of failure or limitation. It is simply a statement to liberate you from your own impediments. How can you possibly understand yourself if Knowledge is not revealing all things to you? How can you possibly understand the world when Knowledge is not revealing the world to you? This is pure experience, beyond all concepts and beliefs, for concepts and beliefs can only follow the experience and attempt to provide a structure where the experience can arise again. In no way can beliefs, assumptions or ideas possibly imitate Knowledge itself.

这并不是一种失败或限制的声明。它只是一种声明，旨在将你从你自己的障碍中解放出来。如果内识没有向你揭示一切，你又如何可能理解你自己呢？如果内识没有向你揭示世界，你又如何可能理解这个世界呢？这就是纯粹的体验，超越一切概念和信念，因为概念和信念只能跟随体验而来，并试图提供一个结构，使体验能够再次出现。然而，信念、假设或想法无论如何也无法模仿内识本身。

Of course you do not understand yourself or the world, for you only understand your ideas, and they are not eternal. Therefore, they cannot provide a solid foundation upon which you must learn to stand. Thus, they can only fail and deceive you if you rely upon them instead of Knowledge to reveal yourself and the world to you.

当然，你并不理解你自己或这个世界，因为你只能理解你的想法，而这些想法并不是永恒的。因此，它们无法为你提供必须学会站立的坚实基础。因此，如果你依赖于它们，而不是依赖内识向你揭示的你自己和世界，那它们只能使你失败并误导你。

Upon the hour remind yourself that you do not understand yourself. Free yourself from the burden of justifying your own judgments. Look upon yourself in your deeper meditation practices and remind yourself that you do not understand yourself. Now you are free to enter into stillness, for you are not attempting to use your experience to justify your fantasies about yourself. Here your mind becomes free to be itself, and you become free to appreciate yourself.

每个小时提醒你自己：你并不理解你自己。解放你自己，摆脱为你自己的判断辩护的负担。在你更深入的冥想练习中，看向你自己，并提醒你自己，你并不理解你自己。现在你可以自由地进入静止，因为你不再试图用你的经验来证明你对你自己的幻想是正确的。在这里，你的心灵可以自由地做回它自己，你也可以自由地欣赏你自己。
