一旦我們能了解和領悟這篇神一再重複述說的重要觀念，我們就能更充分理解為何生命不是個「尋找和發現」的過程，而是個「創造」的過程。
【什麼是靈魂「用你生命中每時每刻在決定」的問題？】
幻覺之所以存在的原因，是為了提供你們一個當地(局部化)的情境脈絡場（to provide a localized context field）讓你在其中可以以一種你對「你是誰」所曾有過之最偉大憧憬下的最恢宏版本，重新創造你自己。
宇宙本身就是一個脈絡場。就其定義和就其目的而言，都是如此。它提供生命一個「得以實質地被表達和被經驗」的方式。
你是這同一個脈絡場裡的一個局部化版本，你周遭的每個人和每件事也都一樣。換言之，都是局部化的神(localized God)。
在這個局部化的脈絡場外，你只知道自己是一切萬有(All That Is)，而一切萬有卻無法經驗自己為它本然的樣子，因為除它之外，並沒有其它的東西。
當「你所不是的東西」不在時，「你所是的東西」便不是了。它無法被經驗。它無法被認識。
這一點我已經告訴你們很多次了。
你們都聽說過，當「快」不在時，「慢」也不存在。當「上」不在時，「下」並不存在。當沒有「這裡」時，也不會有「那裡」。
那麼，當幻覺不在時，一點也不誇張地說，你就既不在此，也不在彼。
所以，你們集體地製作了這些壯觀的幻覺。一個的確是你們自己創造出的世界——以及宇宙。這提供了你們一個脈絡場，在其中你們得以決定和宣告、創造和表達、經驗和實現「你們真正是誰」。
你們全都這麼做了。你們集體地做了。你們每一個人都是「神聖整體的個別化」(the Individuation of the Divine Whole)的一員。你們每個人都在尋求「認識你自己、定義你自己」。
你是誰？你是好人？是壞人？什麼是「好」？什麼是「壞」？你偉大嗎？你渺小嗎？什麼是「偉大」？什麼又是「渺小」？你到底是這些的哪一種呢？是哪一種的意義又何在？你真的是那麼奇妙嗎？
這是神曾有過的唯一問題。(This is the only question God ever had.)
我是誰？我是誰？我是誰？
而我現在選擇成為誰？
這是唯一重要的問題，而且，這是你的靈魂「用你生命中每時每刻在決定」的問題。
不是發現。是決定。因為，生命不是個「尋找和發現」的過程，它是個「創造」的過程。
摘自《與神合一》第15章
The reason for the Illusions is to provide a localized context field within which you may recreate yourself anew in the next grandest version of the greatest vision you ever held about Who You Are.
The Universe itself is a contextual field. That is both its definition and its purpose. It provides life with a way to be expressed and experienced physically.
You are a localized version of that same contextual field, as is everyone and everything else around you. In other words, localized God.
Outside of this localized context, you can only know yourself as All That Is. And All That Is cannot experience Itself as what it is, since there is nothing else.
In the absence of that which you are not, That Which You Are is not. It cannot be experienced. It cannot be known.
This you have been told many times.
You have been told that in the absence of fast, "slow" is not. In the absence of up, "down" is not. In the absence of here, "there" is not.
In the absence of the Illusions, then, you are—quite literally—neither here nor there.
And so, you have collectively produced these magnificent Illusions. A world—and indeed, a Universe—of your own creation. This has provided you with a contextual field within which you may decide and declare, create and express, experience and fulfill Who You Really Are.
You have all done this. The lot of you. Every one of you who are the individuations of the Divine Whole. You are, each of you, seeking to know yourself, to define yourself.
Who are you? Are you good? Are you bad? What is good”? What is "bad"? Are you big? Are you small? What is "big"? What is "small"? Are you any of these things? What does it mean to be these things? Are you wondrous indeed?
This is the only question God ever had.
Who am I? Who am I? Who am I?
And who do I now choose to be?
This is the only question that matters, and this is what your soul is using your life to decide, every moment.
Not to find out. To decide. For life is not a process of discovery, it is a process of creation.
