當你完全了解此篇引導我們去正視的觀念,你將更清楚什麼叫「不正常」、什麼是「不自然」,以及什麼是你對所謂「正常」的定義等問題。因為,你的意識會因被啟發而隨之擴展。
聽神談【關於「正常」和「自然」】
「正常」的意思是:通常是那麼做。
「自然」卻是當你不試圖以「正常」的方式去做事時,你會做的。
「自然」和「正常」並非同一回事。
在任何時刻,你可以照過去般正常地做,或則,你也可以順其自然地做。
我告訴你:沒有任何東西比愛更自然。
如果你是發自愛心而行,你將會自然而然地(知道該與不該)做。如果你是基於恐懼、怨恨、憤怒地反應而做,你的行為可能是正常(normal),卻決不是自然(natural)的。
不要管你往日的經驗,直接進入當刻。處在當下此地(Be Here Now.)。去看見此刻在「創造新的自己」你有何可做。
記住,這就是你在此所做的。( Remember, this is what you are doing here.)
你以此方式、在此時代和地區,來此世界,以認識「你是誰」——並創造你想成為的你。
這是所有生命的目的(This is the purpose of all of life.)。生命是一個持續進行的、永不終止的再創造過程。
你依自己所訂下的一個「自己的最高理念」在再創造你自己。
摘自《與神對話 II》第2章
"Normal" means something usually done.
"Natural" is how you are when you're not trying to be "normal" !
Natural and normal are not the same thing. In any given moment you can do what you normally do, or you can do what comes naturally.
I tell you this: Nothing is more natural than love.
If you act lovingly, you will be acting naturally. If you react fearfully, resentfully, angrily, you may be acting normally, but you will never be acting naturally.
Ignore your previous experience and go into the moment. Be Here Now. See what there is to work with right now in creating yourself anew.
Remember, this is what you are doing here.
You have come to this world in this way, at this time, in this place, to Know Who You Are—and to create Who You Wish to Be.
This is the purpose of all of life. Life is an ongoing, never-ending process of re-creation. You keep recreating yourselves in the image of your next highest idea about yourselves.
