STEP 290 I CAN ONLY BE A STUDENT. THEREFORE, I WILL BE A STUDENT OF KNOWLEDGE.
In the world you are a student—always. Every day, every hour and every minute you are learning and attempting to assimilate your learning. You are either a student of Knowledge or a student of confusion. You are either a student of certainty or a student of ambivalence. You are either a student of wholeness and integrity or you are a student of conflict and war. You can only learn from being in the world, and you can only demonstrate the result of your learning.
在这个世界上，你是一名学生——永远如此。每一天、每一小时、每一分钟，你都在学习并努力吸收你的学习成果。你要么是内识的学生，要么是混乱的学生。你要么是确定性的学生，要么是矛盾的学生。你要么是整体性和完整性的学生，要么是冲突与战争的学生。你只能通过在世界中学习来获得内识，而你只能展示你学习的结果。
Therefore, there is no choice whether you will be a student or not, for you will be a student even if you decide not to be a student. If you decide not to be a student, you will merely study another curriculum. In this, you have no choice, for to be in the world is to learn and to demonstrate the result of your learning. Recognizing this, your decision, then, is to determine where you will be a student and what you will learn. This is the power of decision that is given to you. Knowledge will naturally guide you to make the right decision and will lead you unto itself, for it is given to you to give to the world. Thus, as you approach Knowledge, you will feel as if you are engaged in a great homecoming. You will feel a great integration within yourself, and you will feel your self-conflict and your war with yourself begin to diminish and to fade.
因此，是否成为学生并没有选择权，因为即使你决定不做学生，你依然会是学生。如果你决定不做学生，你只会学习另一种课程。在这一点上，你没有选择，因为在世界中生活就是学习并展示你的学习成果。认识到这一点后，你的决定就是决定你将在何处做学生，以及你将学习什么。这是赋予你的决策权。内识会自然地引导你做出正确的决定，并将你引领到它自己，因为它被赐予你，是为了让你将它带给世界。因此，当你接近内识时，你会觉得你自己正在经历一次伟大的归属感。你会感觉到内心的整合，感觉到你的自我冲突和与你自己的战争开始减弱并逐渐消失。
Be a student of Knowledge today, for a student you are. Choose the curriculum that has chosen you. Choose the curriculum that will redeem you and through you the world. Choose the curriculum that fulfills your purpose here and that exemplifies your life beyond this world, which wishes to express itself here. Become a student of Knowledge.
今天做内识的学生，因为你本来就是学生。选择那已经选择你的课程。选择那将拯救你并通过你拯救世界的课程。选择那将完成你在这里的目的，并彰显你超越这个世界的生命，那个生命渴望在这里表达它自己。成为内识的一名学生。
Realize the power of today’s idea and remember it upon the hour. Always remember to read the day’s lesson prior to entering into the world so that you may begin to utilize its practice for that day. Confirm your studenthood in Knowledge. Strengthen your involvement as a student of Knowledge. Follow today’s practices with greater and greater devotion.
意识到今天想法的力量，并时刻牢记。永远记得在进入世界之前阅读今天的课程，这样你就可以开始运用当天的练习。确认你是内识的学生。加强你作为内识学生的投入。更加虔诚地跟随今天的练习。
In your two deeper practice periods, actively engage your mind in considering what it means to be a student in the world. Engage your mind in understanding the message for today, and attempt to realize that you are a student under all circumstances. Try to realize that you have no choice here, for you must learn, assimilate and demonstrate your learning. This is the foundation for true teaching. Realize that your purpose in the world is to become a student of Knowledge, to assimilate Knowledge and to allow Knowledge to express itself so that you may demonstrate Knowledge in the world. In the simplest way, this is an expression of your purpose, and from your purpose a specific calling will come forth to guide you in specific ways in the world according to your nature and your design.
在你两个更深层次的练习时段中，积极地让你的心灵参与思考做世界学生的意义。让你的心灵理解今天的讯息，并尝试意识到无论在任何情况下，你都是学生。试着意识到你在这里没有选择，因为你必须学习、吸收并展示你的学习成果。这是真正教学的基础。意识到你在世界中的目的是成为内识的学生，吸收内识，并让内识表达它自己，这样你就可以在世界中展示内识。以最简单的方式，这就是你目的的表现，而从你的目的中，一个特定的召唤将会显现，引导你根据你的自然和设计以特定的方式在世界中行事。
Thus, today you will strengthen yourself as a student of Knowledge. In your longer practice periods, actively engage your mind in attempting to penetrate today’s idea and to recognize its absolute relevancy to your life.
因此，今天你将强化你自己作为内识学生的角色。在你较长的练习时段中，积极调动你的心灵，尝试渗透今天的想法，并认识到它与你生命的绝对相关性。
