聽神談【人類所謂的「所有權」】
你們視「所有權」爲如此重大事件，以致爲此引發戰爭，帶來殺戮和死亡。但真相卻是，你們無法「擁有」太陽系任何星球的任何部分，即使是人類在其上進化的地方也一樣。
你們全部都不過是個管理者(stewards)，被賦予「管理權」去妥善照顧一切：包括你們的身體、伴侶和孩子的身體、所居住生活的土地，以及其他歸你們照顧的一切。
這些並非你們所擁有的，只是交托予你們照料，暫時讓你們保管。生命本身託付你們去維續他們，以表達「維續性」的生命運作法則，而不是讓你們聲稱「擁有」他們，以爲只屬於你們。那種短視的思維，根本就沒有意識到功能的持續性。
沒有任何事物可以被任何人永遠據爲已有。絕對沒有。事物有可能在你們的管轄之下，但絕非你們的擁有物。
「所有權」只是個暫時性的虛構幻象。它是由心智虛構出來的。正如同所有的思維結構一樣，它只是一個暫時幻象，和終極實相(ultimate reality)毫不相干。
就像你們所有的社會習俗，「所有權」的觀念想法來自於你們堅固的謬誤信念。在這個例子中，它涉及『關於生命的五大謬誤信念』中的第二個：認爲沒有足夠的資源足以滿足人類快樂所需求的。
能讓你們快樂幸福的事物，其實都是足夠的，但你們卻不相信，所以積極去尋求「擁有」任何想要的事物。你們想像著：如果“擁有”了便可以永遠保有，沒有人能夠從你們手中奪去，你們就能夠任意處置——從這種「所有權」的經驗轉變成了你們的安全感、你們的維續性，以及你們的幸福快樂。
任何一位“擁有”許多事物的人都可以告訴你們，其實「所有權」根本是遠離真相。但是這樣的觀念想法卻持續存在著。
這種「能夠擁有事物」的觀念，對你們心理造成的巨大傷害和帶給人類的損失，遠超過你們的想像。
這是因爲你們認爲「所有權」賦予了你們本身原本沒有的東西：「權利」。
摘自《與神對話之新啟示》第22章
You take these "ownership rights" so seriously that you start wars over them and kill and die over them—when the truth is, you cannot ever "own" any part of a planet in the solar system, even if it is a planet on which your species evolved.
You are all merely stewards, seeking to take good care of that over which you have been given steward-ship—including your bodies, the bodies of your mates and children, the land on which you live, and all else that you have in your care.
These things are not your possessions, but simply articles that have been placed in your care. They are yours temporarily, only for safekeeping. You are asked by Life Itself to sustain them, to express the Life Principle of Sustainability, but not to declare that you "own" them and that they belong to you and no one else. Such a thought is not in any lasting sense functional.
Nothing that is possessed by anyone is possessed by them forever. Nothing. Things may be in your possession, but they are not your possessions.
Ownership is a temporary fiction. It is an invention of the mind and, like all mental constructions, it is temporary, having nothing to do with ultimate reality.
As with all of your social conventions, the idea of ownership arises from the fallacies that you hold as firm beliefs—in this case, the Second Fallacy About Life, which is that there is "not enough" of whatever it is you think you need to be happy.
There is enough of everything you really need to be happy, but you do not believe it, and so you seek to "own" whatever it is that you most desire, imagining that if you own it, you can keep it forever, that no one can take it away from you, that you can do what you want with it—and that from this experience of ownership will come your security, your sustainability, and your happiness.
Nothing could be further from the truth, as anyone who "owns" many things can tell you. Still, the idea persists.
This idea that you can own things has caused more harm to your psyche and more damage to your species than you could ever know.
This is because you think that "ownership" gives you "rights" that you do not intrinsically have.
