第二百八十阶:回顾
STEP 280 REVIEW
Review the past two weeks, beginning with the first lesson in your Review period and continuing on each day up until the last lesson. Try to gain an overview of all that has transpired in the past two weeks. Try to see how you could deepen and improve your practice. Recognize how much time and energy are wasted in ambivalence and idle speculation. Realize how much of your energy is being wasted in doubt and confusion when you need only abide with Knowledge. Your ability to follow that which is beyond your comprehension, which is necessary here, will lead you to the greatest possible certainty that life can render to you. Through this certainty, your ideas, your actions and your perceptions will gain a uniformity that will allow them to be a powerful expression in the world, where humanity is confused and lost in the ambivalence of imagination. It is by following that you are able to give and you are able to lead. You will recognize this in time as you exercise your freedom and allow your freedom to exercise itself through you.
回顾过去两周,从复习阶段的第一课开始,每天都要回顾,直到最后一课。试着对过去两周所发生的一切进行概述。试着看看如何加深和改进你的练习。认识到有多少时间和能量浪费在矛盾和空想中。认识到你有多少能量浪费在怀疑和困惑中,而你只需要与内识相伴。你有能力去追随那些超出你理解的事物,它在这里是必要的,它将引导你获得生命所能给予你的最大的确定性。通过这种确定性,你的想法、你的行动和你的感知将获得一种统一性,使它们能够在这个世界上有力地表现出来,而在这个世界上,人类正处于困惑之中,迷失在想象的矛盾之中。正是因为追随,你才能够给予,你才能够领导。当你行使你的自由,并允许你的自由通过你行使时,你就会及时认识到这一点。
You are now a student of Knowledge. Dedicate yourself to the application of your preparation with increasing devotion and involvement. Allow the mistakes of your past to motivate you. They need not be and should not be a source of self-recrimination. They are intended now to be understood as the demonstration of your need for Knowledge. Thus, you may be very thankful that Knowledge is being given to you, for you are realizing that above all else it is Knowledge which you seek.
你现在是一名内识的学生。全心全意地投入到准备工作中,并不断提高参与度。让过去的错误激励你。它们不需要也不应该成为自责的根源。它们现在应该被理解为你需要内识的证明。因此,你可以非常感谢内识的赐予,因为你意识到,最重要的是你所寻求的是内识。
