聽神談【人類是「如何在做選擇」的真相與祕訣】
尼爾：讓我們回到你剛才解說的「在多個不同的層面上做決定」的話題。你說，如果我想要安定下來，我就應該不再改變我對「我是誰，和我希望成為誰」的想法。當我說這做起來不容易時，你說你的觀察是我們每個人都在多個不同的層次上做選擇。你可不可以再說詳細一點？
如果你所渴望的，就是你的靈魂(soul)所渴望的，則一切都會非常簡單。如果你聆聽「你純粹的靈(pure spirit)的那部分」的聲音，則你所有的決定都會很容易，而所有的結果也會是快樂的。這是因為…
…你的靈(的那部分所做出)的選擇，永遠是你最高的選擇(the choice of spirit are always the highest choices)。
那些選擇無需被事後批評，它們不需要被分析或評估。它們只需被遵循、被實行。
然而，你們還不只是個靈(you are not only a spirit)。你們是一個由身體、心智和靈所組成的「三合一生命體」(You are a Trinue Being made up of body, mind, and spirit.)。這既是你們的榮耀，也是你們的奇妙之處。因為你們經常是在所有這三個(身心靈)層面同時地做決定和選擇——而它們總是一點也不相符一致。
常見的是：你們身體想要做某事，心智想尋求的是另外的事，而靈所渴望的又是另外一回事。這種情況尤其在小孩子身上可以看到，因為他們還沒有成熟到足以分辨哪些看起來是對身體「好玩」的，哪些是對心智是有意義的——更不用說哪些是跟靈有共鳴的。所以小孩子會蹣跚行走在馬路上。
而我，身為神，清楚知道你們所有的選擇——甚至那些你們潛意識中所做的選擇。我永遠不會去干涉它們，而是完全不干涉地讓你們可以自由地選擇。我的任務就是確保你們的選擇得到准許。（事實上，是你們在對自己准許你們的選擇。我所做的只是設置了一個系統，使你們得以這樣做。這個系統叫做「創造過程」，而我在第一部裡已詳加說明。）(What I have done is put a system into place that allow you to do that. This system is call the process of creation, and is explained in detail in Book 1.)
當你們(身心靈三面向)的選擇互相衝突——當身、心、靈不是一致地運作(body, mind and spirit are not acting as one)時——「創造過程」就各自在各自的層次同時運作，產生錯雜的結果。如果你身心靈三面向是和諧的，你的選擇是一致的，令人驚奇的事物會發生。
摘自《與神對話 III》第1章
Neale: Wait, go back to that comment about making decisions at many different levels. You said that if I wanted life to settle down, I should stop changing my mind about who I am and who I wish to be. When I said that may not be easy, You made the observation that all of us are making our choices at many different levels. Can You elaborate on that? What does that mean? What are the implications?
If all you desired is what your soul desired, everything would be very simple. If you listened to the part of you which is pure spirit, all of your decisions would be easy, and all the outcomes joyous. That is because...... the choices of spirit are always the highest choices.
They don't need to be second-guessed. They don't need to be analyzed or evaluated. They simply need to be followed, acted on.
Yet you are not only a spirit. You are a Triune Being made up of body, mind, and spirit. That is both the glory and the wonder of you. For you often make deci sions and choices at all three levels simultaneously—and they by no means always coincide.
It is not uncommon for your body to want one thing, while your mind seeks another, and your spirit desires yet a third. This can be especially true of chil dren, who are often not yet mature enough to make distinctions between what sounds like "fun" to the body, and what makes sense to the mind—much less what resonates with the soul. So the child waddles into the street.
Now, as God, I am aware of all your choices—even those you make subconsciously. I will never interfere with them, but rather, just the opposite. It is My job to ensure that your choices are granted. (In truth, you grant them to your Self. What I have done is put a system into place that allows you to do that. This system is called the process of creation, and is explained in detail in Book 1.)
When your choices conflict—when body, mind, and spirit are not acting as one—the process of creation works at all levels, producing mixed results. If, on the other hand, your being is in harmony, and your choices are unified, astonishing things can occur.
