此篇談的是一種內在神性展現的態度,一種我們能展現得接近「神會怎麼做」的態度表現之一。也許你還記得《與神為友》裡解說的「神的五種態度」,它們是:全然地「喜悅」(Totally Joyful)、全然地「愛」(Totally Loving)、全然地「接受」(Totally Accepting)、全然地「祝福」(Totally Blessing)和全然地「感恩」(Totally Grateful)。
真正創造自己的人生,必然是過一種「有意識地創造」的生活,並明白你是自己生活中每個狀況與條件的感知者和定義者。而你生活中的每個經驗,如吃虧、壓力、有面子、失敗或困難,都是「你說它是」的東西。
聽神談【關於「祝福」和「有意識地創造」】
有些人會視別人所責難的人生狀況為賜福,因為他們擁抱那些狀況為一個偉大的禮物,讓他們能看見和宣告他們生命存在的真理。
當你祝福你人生的狀況,你就改變了它們。
(When you bless the conditions of your life, you change them.)
因為你稱它們為不是它們「看起來好像是的」東西,
正如你稱自己為不是「看起來好像是的」你。
就在這一點上,你開始有意識地創造——而非只是注意到——你人生的狀況和境遇。
因為你將明白,你一向都是——並且永遠會是——每個狀況與條件的感知者和定義者。
摘自《與神合一》第15章
There are those who have blessed the very conditions of life that others have condemned. For they have embraced these conditions as a great gift, allowing them to see and declare the truth of their being.
When you bless the conditions of your life, you change them.
For you are calling them something other than what they appear to be, even as you are calling yourself something other than what you appear to be.
It is at this point that you begin to consciously create, and not merely notice, the conditions and circumstances of your life.
For you will know that you have always been, and always will be, the perceiver and the definer of every condition.
