第二百七十五阶:今天,我从不确定性中寻求自由。
STEP 275 TODAY I SEEK FREEDOM FROM UNCERTAINTY.
Seeking freedom from uncertainty means that you are seeking freedom that is genuine, that is real and that truly deserves the name of freedom. In essence, you either know what you are doing or you do not. If you do not know what you are doing, you simply wait for Knowledge. If you know what you are doing, you simply follow what you know. It is that simple. Unnecessary speculation, the attempt to make premature decisions based upon fear or preference, the requirement that you have the certainty that you lack and the projection of blame upon yourself and others for the failures of your weak decision making are what have taxed your mind, your body and your world. It is this you wish to escape today so that you may find the freedom in the certainty that God has given you. It is this certainty you must discover and follow. By following this you will reap all of its rewards and will become a contributor of these rewards in the world.
从不确定性中寻求自由,意味着你在寻求真正的、真实的、真正配得上自由之名的自由。从本质上讲,你要么知道你在做什么,要么不知道。如果你不知道你在做什么,你就只能等待内识。如果你知道你在做什么,你只需遵循你所知道的内识。就是这么简单。无谓的猜测,试图基于恐惧或偏好做出不成熟的决定,要求你自己拥有所缺乏的确定性,以及将你和他人的失败归咎于你自己的决策失误,这些都让你的身心和世界疲于奔命。今天,你希望摆脱这些,以便在上帝赐予你的确定性中找到自由。你必须发现并遵循这种确定性。遵循它,你将收获所有的回报,并成为世界上这些回报的贡献者。
Upon the hour remember today’s idea and see its complete relevancy to the world about you. In your deeper practice periods, give yourself to stillness. Give yourself to this encounter with Knowledge. Give yourself completely and let neither ambivalence nor uncertainty hold you back. In this, you will exercise the strength of Knowledge by following Knowledge, and in time you will become as strong as Knowledge truly is. Therefore, today seek to escape uncertainty and all that accompanies it. For this has destroyed the inspiration of humankind and has led humankind to war upon itself and the world.
每到一小时,记住今天的想法,并看到它与你周围的世界完全相关。在深入练习时,给予你自己静止。把你自己交给与内识的相遇。全身心地投入,不要让矛盾或不确定阻碍你。在此过程中,你将通过追随内识来锻炼内识的力量,久而久之,你将变得和内识一样强大。因此,今天要努力摆脱不确定性以及与之相伴的一切。因为它摧毁了人类的灵感,导致人类与它自己和世界开战。
