STEP 249 ALONE I CAN DO NOTHING.

Alone you can do nothing, for nothing in life is done alone. This is so very obvious if you simply observe the activity around you. No one is doing anything alone. This is so very true; it cannot be denied if you look upon the world honestly. Even if you were alone on a mountaintop without another soul in sight, you would not be alone, for your Teachers would be with you, and everything that you would accomplish there would be a joint effort, as everything that you accomplish with other people is a joint effort. This affirms the intrinsic nature of relationships and gives complete evidence to the fact that nothing can be done alone. In this, you must learn to value your relationships, for they are the vehicles for accomplishment in all areas and in all avenues of expression.

独自一人，你什么都做不到，因为生命中的一切都不是单独完成的。如果你只是观察你周围的活动，这一点就会非常明显。没有人在单独做任何事情。这是非常真实的；如果你诚实地看待这个世界，它是无法否认的。即使你独自一人站在山顶，视野中没有一个人影，你也不会孤单，因为你的老师会与你同在，你在这里所成就的一切都将是共同的努力，就像你与他人一起成就的一切一样。这确认了关系的内在自然，也充分证明了没有什么事情是可以单独完成的。在这一点上，你必须学会珍视你的关系，因为它们是你在所有领域和所有表达途径中成就的载体。

Therefore, We emphasize the value of your relationships to you who now seek to reclaim Knowledge. These relationships must be imbued with the Knowledge that you are reclaiming. Then they will have the stability, the efficacy and the grace that Knowledge contains for you. For only relationships based upon Knowledge can carry the Wisdom that Knowledge will exert within the world. Relationships based upon personal attraction or personal fantasy do not have the foundation to carry Knowledge and will fail abruptly in the presence of the demands and requirements of a true life.

因此，我们强调你在寻求恢复内识时，关系对你的价值。这些关系必须充满你正在恢复的内识。这样，它们将拥有内识为你所包含的稳定性、效力和优雅。因为只有基于内识的关系才能承载内识在世界中所展现的智慧。基于个人吸引力或个人幻想的关系没有基础去承载内识，并且在面对真实生命的需求和要求时，会突然失败。

Therefore, as you reclaim Knowledge, you also learn the lessons of relationships. Remind yourself of this upon the hour and witness the obviousness of today’s lesson in whatever context you find yourself. If you look, you will see that nothing can be done alone—on any level, in any avenue. Nothing can be done alone. There is no individual creativity. There is no individual contribution. There is no individual invention. The only thing that can be made alone is fantasy, and in this a great deal has been produced. But even this is shared and fortified as each individual fortifies it within his or her own imagination. Therefore, even illusion is shared and substantiated through relationship. Nothing can be done alone. Even illusion cannot be done alone. There is no escape from this. Yet the fact that there is no escape from life is the true promise of your redemption, for here life will redeem you, and all that you have brought into the world will be activated and contributed.

因此，当你恢复内识时，你也在学习关系的课程。每小时提醒你自己这一点，并见证今天课程的显而易见性，无论你身处何种情境。如果你观察，你会发现没有什么是能单独完成的——在任何层面，任何大道。没有什么能单独完成。没有个人的创造力。没有个人的贡献。没有个人的发明。唯一能单独创造的只有幻想，而在这一点上，已经创造了很多。但即便如此，这些幻想也是通过每个人在他/她自己想象中巩固而共享的。因此，甚至幻想也是通过关系共享并得到证实的。没有什么能单独完成。即使幻想也不能单独完成。没有人能逃避这一点。然而，事实是你无法逃避生命，这才是你救赎的真实承诺，因为在这里，生命将救赎你，而你带到这个世界的一切将被激活并做出贡献。

In your deeper practice periods today, bring yourself to Knowledge and bring yourself to your Teachers in stillness and humility. Realize that you can do nothing alone. Even your attempt to discipline your mind and to prepare yourself for meditation is something you share with others who are practicing and with your Teachers as well. All power of God can be expressed through you, for nothing can be done alone.

在今天的更深层次的练习时段中，将你自己带到内识面前，将你自己带到你的老师面前，在静止与谦逊中。意识到你独自一人什么也做不了。即使你努力训练你的心灵，准备进行冥想，这也是你与其他正在练习的人以及你的老师共同分享的事。上帝的所有力量都能通过你表达，因为没有什么是能单独完成的。
