STEP 262 HOW CAN I JUDGE MYSELF WHEN I DO NOT KNOW WHO I AM?

If you do not know who you are, you can only judge what you think you are. Your thoughts about yourself are largely based upon your expectations and disappointments. It is very difficult to observe yourself from within your personal mind, for your personal mind is made up of your personal thoughts, which are not born of Knowledge. To view yourself with Knowledge, you must be in relationship with Knowledge. This will lead you to experience yourself in an entirely new way. This experience must be repeated and expressed over and over again, in many, many situations. Then you will begin to get a real sense and experience of who you are. This sense and experience will not be born of condemnation and unforgiveness, for only your idea of yourself can be disappointed. Life will disappoint you in this way, for life can only fulfill you according to your true nature and True Self. To realize this means you have realized the value and meaning of life and your inclusion in it. This requires discernment. This requires wisdom. This requires a step-by-step preparation. This requires patience and tolerance. This requires that you learn to use your experience for good not for ill.

如果你不知道你是谁，你只能评判你认为的你是谁。你对你自己的看法很大程度上基于你的期望和失望。从个人心灵中观察你自己是非常困难的，因为你的个人心灵是由个人的思想构成的，而这些思想并非源于内识。要以内识的视角看待你自己，你就必须与内识建立关系。这将引领你以全新的方式体验你自己。这种体验需要在许多不同的情境中一再重复并表达。这样，你才能逐渐获得对你自己真实的感知与体验。这种感知与体验不会源于谴责和不宽恕，因为只有你对你自己的想法才会感到失望。生命会以这种方式让你失望，因为生命只能按照你的真实自然和真实的自我来满足你。意识到这一点意味着你已经理解了生命的价值与意义以及你在其中的位置。这需要辨别力。这需要智慧。这需要一步步的准备。这需要耐心与包容。这需要你学会使用你的经历为善而非为恶。

Therefore, your condemnation of yourself is unfounded. It is based merely on assumptions. Remember this upon the hour and consider it in light of all the events this day, which will teach you the meaning of today’s lesson. In your two longer practice periods, once again engage your mind actively in attempting to comprehend the meaning of today’s lesson.

因此，你对你自己的谴责是毫无根据的。它仅仅基于假设。每小时记住这一点，并结合这一天中的所有事件来思考它的意义，这些事件将教导你今天课程的意义。在两次较长的练习中，再次积极地运用你的心灵，尝试理解今天课程的意义。

As you penetrate your own self-judgment, realize it is born of your fear and based upon assumption. If you realize you don’t know who you are and you are completely confused about this, then you will place yourself in a position to become a true student of Knowledge. You will put yourself in a position to learn all things rather than attempting to defend your assumptions. This represents your studenthood. Your function in life now is to be a student of Knowledge. Use your mind purposefully today. Use your mind objectively. Use your mind to realize what you do not know and all that you need to know. Use your mind to appreciate and to utilize the steps that are being given to you now for you to reclaim Knowledge in the world.

当你穿透你自己的自我判断时，要意识到它源于你的恐惧，并基于假设。如果你意识到你并不知道你是谁，并且对这一点完全感到困惑，你就会把你自己放置在成为真实内识学生的位置。你会让你自己处于学习一切事物的位置，而不是试图捍卫你的假设。这体现了你的学生身份。你当前生命中的职责就是成为内识的学生。今天有目的地使用你的心灵。客观地使用你的心灵。使用你的心灵去认识你不知道的和你需要知道的一切。使用你的心灵来欣赏并善用现在被给予你的步骤，以便你在这个世界上重新获得内识。
