聽神談【人類的「意識」如何運作?】
以下內容摘自《與神為友》《重新定義神》和《與神談生死》:
意識(conscious)層次是一個你對自己在做什麼有一些覺知的經驗層次,在其間你知道並創造你的實相。你覺知多少,則依你的「意識層次」有多大而定。這是個物質層次(physical level)。當你對追求心靈成長有了承諾,你日復一日地在尋求提升你的意識或擴大你物質實相的經驗,以包含和涵蓋你知道它存在的一個較大的實相。
-摘自《與神為友》第6章
The conscious level is the place of experience at which you know about, and create, your reality with some awareness of what you are doing. How much of what you are aware of depends upon your "level of consciousness." This is the physical level. When you are committed to the spiritual path, you move through life ever seeking to elevate your consciousness, or to enlarge the experience of your physical reality to include and encompass a larger reality that you know exists.
意識心智:被指派來處理當下每一刻所收集的全部資料。它也行使過去資料的分析、理解及有限覺知的理解、當下時刻的決定、未來的投射,以及所有感官反饋的功能。藉此,它產生你們目前片刻的經驗。你們可以簡單地藉由「移到一個更高的意識層次」,來立即改變這層面的經驗。
-摘自《重新定義神》第4章
The conscious mind is assigned to handle the task of total data collection in each moment of Now.
It also performs past-data analysis, comprehension and limited awareness understanding, present- moment decision making, future projection, and all sensory feedback functions. By this means it produces your present moment experience. You can change this experience instantly by simply moving to a higher level of consciousness.
意識(顯意識)是你能覺知「你在做什麼,並在創造你的實相」之經驗的領域。你覺知(能覺察)多少取決於你的「意識層次」。這是物質的層次。
當你投身於靈性的道路,你在人生中不斷的尋求「提升你的意識」,或擴大以包含你在其它層次(精神的層次,如超意識或超覺意識)知曉為真的東西的物質體驗 。
-摘自《與神談生死》第9章
The Conscious Level is the place of experience at which you know about, and create, your reality with some awareness of what you are doing. How much of which you are aware depends upon your "level of consciousness." This is the physical level.
When you are committed to the spiritual path, you move through life ever seeking to "elevate your consciousness," or to enlarge the experience of your physical reality to include and encompass what you know, at another level, is true about you.
