當你從了解這句「神並不是來到你身邊,而是經由你而來」的意思,到真正領悟這句話的意思和為什麼是「經由你(每一個人)」時,你必然會欣喜讚嘆、感動不已(除非你尚未完全懂它的意思)。這句話不僅是一個能幫你了解什麼是「恩典時刻」的好例子,並且也可能是你今生能夠親身體驗的「恩典時刻」中,最巨大的一個。
如果你願意靜下心來,仔細地傾聽這篇裡的每一句話,你將進入一個你此生中的「恩典時刻」。而你我的人生,都是創造來帶給我們自己這種「恩典時刻」的。
聽神談【認識以覺知你「人生中的恩典時刻」】
你的覺醒時刻可能在任何時候、經由任何人而來到。所以,要尊重所有的時間和所有的人,因為你解脫的時刻 可能就在眼前。當你能與幻覺同在,但不是活在其內的時候,就是你從幻覺中解脫的時候了。
在你的人生中,會有不止一次的這種時刻。的確,你的人生正是創造來帶給你這種時刻的。
這些是你的恩典時刻(moments of grace) ,當清明和智慧、愛和了解、指導和洞見被帶給你,並且經由你帶來。
這些恩典時刻會永遠改變你的一生,而也經常改變別人的一生。
正是這樣的一個恩典時刻,把你帶到了這本書裡來。那就是你為什麼你能收到並且深深地了解現在這份信息。
這是一種與造物主相會的方式之一。
它是經由你的意願、經由你的開放、經由你的寬恕及經以由你的愛,而來到你身上。你對自己的愛、你對別人的愛,以及你對生命的愛。
還有,沒錯,你對我的愛。
那是神的愛將神帶給你。是你「對自己的愛」帶來了「對自己是神」的那部分的覺知——因此你知道:神並不是來到你身邊,而是經由你來的。因為神永遠沒與你分開,神永遠是你的一部分。 (God does not come to you but through you. For God is never apart from you but is always a part of you.)
造物主並沒有與受造者分離。施愛者並沒與被愛者分離。那不是愛的本質,那不是神的本質。
那也不是你的本質。你並沒有與任何東西及任何人分離,尤其是神。
摘自《與神合一》第19章
Your moment of awakening can come to you at any time, and through any person. Therefore, honor all times and all people, for the moment of your deliverance may be at hand. It will be your deliverance from The Illusions the moment when you can be with it but not within it.
There will be more than one such moment in your life. Indeed, your life has been created to bring you just such moments.
These are your moments of grace, when clarity and wisdom, love and understanding, guidance and insight are brought to you and through you.
These moments of grace change your life forever, and often, the lives of others as well.
Just such a moment of grace brought you to this book. That is why you are able to receive and deeply understand the present communication.
In one form, this is a meeting with the Creator.
It has come upon you through your willingness, through your openness, through your forgiveness, and through your love. Your love of self, your love of others, and your love of Life.
And, yes, your love of Me.
It is love of God that brings God to you. It is love of self that brings awareness of that part of self which is God—and therefore knows that God does not come to you but through you. For God is never apart from you but is always a part of you.
The Creator is not separate from the created. The lover is not separate from the beloved. That is not the nature of love, and that is not the nature of God.
Nor is it the nature of You. You are separate from nothing and no one, least of all God.
