【「Being 創造」在生活中的例子】:墜入愛河
Being 是即刻的(Being is instant.) 。思想雖然迅速,但與 being 相比,是非常緩慢的。
讓我們用墜入愛河 (being in love) 做為例子。
回想一下當你掉入愛河的時候。有一個片刻,一個神奇的瞬間,當你第一次感受那愛時。如你喜歡說的,它就像「有一噸的磚頭」打到了你。突然間,它佔據了你。你看著房間的另一邊、餐桌的另一邊、汽車前座另一邊的那個人,而突然間,你知道你愛她。
它是突然的。是即刻的。它並不是什麼你必須去思考的東西。它只是「發生了」。
摘自《與神為友》第12章
Being is instant. Compared to that, your thought is very slow. As fast as thought is, it is very slow compared to being.
Let's use your very human example of being in love.
Remember a time when you fell in love. There was a moment, a magical split second, when you first felt that love. It may have hit you, as you are fond of saying, "like a ton of bricks." Suddenly, it came over you. You looked at that person across the room, across the dining table, across the front seat of the car, and all at once you knew that you loved them.
It was sudden. It was instant. It was not something you had to think about. It just "happened."
