人類如何「拯救世界」?除了以政治、經濟、環保、科技、宗教、教育...等途徑,有什麼是我們遺漏或始終忽視的核心要素嗎?還有什麼關鍵是我們確實缺乏且沒去正視的區塊嗎?
關於「生命運作的基本原理、生命如何運作」的教育,是一塊核心又關鍵的遺漏拼圖。它之所以從沒被人類真正檢驗和正視,是因為人類在這議題上從來沒有一套正確的標準。宗教提供的教導不完整(incomplete),雖給人們帶來很大的幫助,但各宗教之間的「排他性」卻大大地折損了它們帶給人類的價值,並產生了最難處理的——扭曲了人們對於「生命如何運作」的認知與理解。
這是一段可啟發我們去思考此議題的神的觀察解說。值得任何真正關心「我們的子孫如何在地球存活」議題的朋友們深入檢視:
聽神談【關於「拯救世界」和生命的運作原理】
你們並非需要真的去拯救(save)世界。你需要做的只是保留世界現在的模樣(save the world as it is)——為你自己、你們的孩子、你們的孫子,以及他們的孩子——如果你選擇如此做的話。
生命永遠不會結束。這是我在此一再告訴你們的。那系統是自我調節、自我維續的。那系統永遠是「功能性」、「適應性」及「維續性」的。所以生命永不會結束。讓我們在這兒澄清這一點。
以你們所用的時間尺度來說,你們的世界,你們的星球,在一個相當相當相當長的時間,都不會消失。所以,當我用「拯救世界」這個詞時,我指的意思是:維護如你們所認識的世界,保持它應有的適當模樣 (“keep the world in place as you know it”) 。
我曾解釋過,當你們「維護它」時,你們即是在「拯救它、保存它」。而當你們自動優先服侍世界 (pre-serve) ,你們即是在維護 (preserve)它。也就是說,甚至在你想到服侍它之前,你已在服侍它了。當它是件你們自然、本能會去做的事情。
你們是生命,卻正在忽視生命本身的信息。但你們將不會被允許忽視那信息太久(You are Life, ignoring the message of Life Itself. But you will not be allowed to ignore that message for very long.)。如我說過的,生命將在它容許「生命的任何部分讓生命本身失去功能」之前,在改變其生命形式(也就是說,調適它自己以變得能維續它自己)。
因此,你將看見那些「忽視生命最重要的信息和忽視生命之功能的信息」的個人,在改變其生命形式。用你們人類的說法是,他們將死亡。
他們有些人年紀非常輕就死亡。如果他們重視那些讓他們當下的生命更得以維繫的簡單信息的話,他們大多數就不會那麼早死亡。
因此,如果你們要享有你們現在形式的生命,你們務須對於「什麼使那種形式的生命得以維續」要多學習,並對它更加注意,直到「以生命得以維續的方式過生活」成為你們的第二天性,直到它已融入你們的潛意識。
摘自《重新定義神》第7章
You don't have to save the world. You will save the world as it is—for yourself, your children, your grandchildren, and theirs—only if you choose to.
Life is never going to end. That is what I am telling you here. The System is self-regulating, self-sustaining. The System is always functional, adaptable, and sustainable. So Life is never going to end. Let's make that clear right here.
And your world, your planet, is not going away for a very, very, very long time, on the scale of time you are using. So when I use the words "save the world," I use them to mean "keep the world in place as you know it."
I have explained that you "save" the world when you preserve it. And you preserve the world when you pre-serve it. That is, when you serve it before you even think about serving it. When it is the natural, instinctive thing to do.
Right now, you are violating your own instincts. Your in-stincts are telling you that what you are doing to your world and to your very Self is destructive, yet you continue to do these things anyway.
And so you are Life, ignoring the message of Life Itself. But you will not be allowed to ignore that message for very long. As I have said, Life will change its form (that is, adapt It-self to become sustainable) before it will allow any Part of Life to render Life Itself dysfunctional. And so you will see individuals who ignore the most important and functional messages of Life changing their form. To put this in your own terms, they will die.
Some of them will die very young. Most of them will die be-fore they would have died had they not ignored the simple messages about what makes their present life more sustainable.
Therefore, if you are enjoying life in your present form, you are urged to learn more about what makes life sustain-able in that form, and to pay more attention to that.
Learn and learn and learn until it becomes second nature to live in sustainable ways. Keep bringing in the information that will help you in this. Look at it over and over again. Tell your-self the same things. Repeat yourself.
Repeat, repeat, repeat the wisdom of the ages, until it has melted into your subconscious.
