STEP 221 I AM FREE TO BE CONFUSED TODAY.

Do not view your confusion as a failure. Do not view your confusion as something that endangers you or belittles you. Confusion here is merely a sign that you are realizing the limitations of your own ideas and assumptions. You must give these up to allow Knowledge to become apparent to you, for in the face of all important decisions that require your attention this day, Knowledge has already provided an answer. It is not an answer that you can find amongst the many answers that you provide for yourself or that you assume others provide for you.

不要把困惑视为失败。不要把你的困惑看作是对你的威胁或贬低。这里的困惑只是一个迹象,表明你意识到了你自己的想法和假设的局限性。你必须放弃这些,让内识向你显现,因为面对今天需要你关注的所有重要决定,内识已经给出了答案。这个答案不是你自己提供的,也不是你假设他人为你提供的。

Therefore, let all substitutes for Knowledge fade from you. Allow yourself to be confused, for in your genuine confusion Knowledge may arise naturally. This, then, represents your freedom, for in freedom you are free to be confused.

因此,让所有内识的替代品从你内心消失。允许你自己困惑,因为在你真正的困惑中,内识可能会自然产生。这代表着你的自由,因为在自由中,你可以自由地困惑。

Remind yourself of this idea upon the hour, and do not be complacent with simple explanations or assumptions about its great meaning for you. You must consider it deeply and realize that the true understanding that it holds for you will be revealed in time. Today allow yourself to be confused, for you are confused, and you must always begin from where you are. Knowledge is with you. You are free to be confused. In your longer practice periods today, enter into stillness whether you are confused or not, for stillness, grace and peace are always available to you.

每时每刻都要提醒你自己这个想法,不要因为简单的解释或假设而沾沾自喜,因为这对你来说意义重大。你必须深思熟虑,并意识到它对你的真实理解将在时间中显现。今天,请允许你自己感到困惑,因为你正处于困惑之中,你必须始终从你所处的位置出发。内识与你同在。你可以自由地困惑。在今天较长的练习时间里,无论你是否困惑,都要进入静止状态,因为静止、恩典与和平永远与你同在。
