關於「身體和靈魂之間、靈魂和萬物之間、靈魂和靈魂之間」是如何存在?如何運作?以及為何都是「一體」的解說,還有誰的說法比神的解說更值得我們不妨一聽?
【關於「身體」、「靈魂」與「一體」】
以下內容摘自《與神對話之新啟示》第24章。神說:
有些人相信身體是維護著你們的軀殼、容納著你們的本質的東西。這種想法認爲,身體容納著那稱爲靈魂的生命本質。這是不正確的。其實是靈魂覆蓋著身體。
你們的靈魂並沒住在體內,恰好相反,你們的身體活在你們稱爲「靈魂」的力場(force field)中。身體其實是被容納在靈魂的能量結構場中,而此能量結構則是宇宙生命能量之靈(Universal Spirit)的局部化彰顯,這才是真正的你的本質。
這個力場,這個包覆著身體、不斷放射、振動的能量束(團),有時會被你們認爲是氣場(aura)。但不光是如此,它是遠超過你們所想像的「氣場」,但如此的想像卻也無妨,這有助於你們去初步了解以探究真相,因爲它爲你們提供一個圖像概念保存在心中。
你們某些人視爲靈魂的那一個部分,正是生命本身的能量,它局部化且聚焦於某個你們會稱爲「時空連續體」的特定點上。這種生命能量會在宇宙中每一個物體周圍振動、閃爍、脈動與發光。這個能量有時也會因爲振動頻率而能被看見。它也可以産生其它效應,例如發熱。
有些人稱此爲會發光的光體、永恆的火焰、源頭、靈魂,或其它適合他們詩篇的名稱。事實上,此爲所有東西的主要本質、基本物質、核心物質。這個「光」體就是真正的你。(This Light is Who You Are.)
就你們錯誤的了解,認爲這「光」是從所有物體輻射出來(radiates from)。事實上過程卻恰好相反,是這「光」輻射入(radiates into)所有的物體,而因此創造出所有物體。
你們稱爲「光」或靈魂的能量場,包覆著它所創造的物體,而且向外延伸至無限。也就是說,其能量永不終止。並沒有一個你們的能量場結束,而另一個能量場開始的地方。這意謂著並沒有任何地方是你們靈魂的終結點,而另一個靈魂開始的地方。
這正如屋子裡的空氣一樣。你們的家中雖然有不同的房間,卻只有「一體的空氣」(“one air”)。某一間房內的空氣和別間房之間並無區分——當人在客廳時,卻能聞到廚房的烤麵包香氣,你們很快就能了解這個道理了。並沒有任何一處是你們「客廳空氣」的終結點和「廚房空氣」的起始點。
事實真相是,你們離廚房越遠,越無法覺察到瀰漫的整個空氣中有來自廚房那部分的空氣。但你們的狗卻可以從屋外就聞得到麵包的味道,那是因爲瀰漫著整個房子,包覆整個房子的空氣,和屋內的空氣並非分離的。
這是我用來幫助你們了解的比喻。我不是說過,在我的國度領域裡有許多宅邸住處嗎?
當靈魂遠離其局部化的源頭越遠,它的能量場就變得微弱並且擴散開來,但它不會完全消失,也不會因此而終止。反而,它會和其它的能量場混合與合併,形成其它局部化的聚焦,因而産生一個無限延伸且複雜交織的能量形態。
我們在此所談論的是一個沒有邊界的能量場,所描述的,是一個永遠不會結束的靈魂。
這,事實上,即「你所是」的真相。
你是一個不論在時間或空間中,永不終結的能量。(You are an energy that never ends, in time or space.)
摘自《與神對話之新啟示》第24章
There are those who believe that the body is that which holds you, which houses the essence of you. That is the thought—that the body houses the Life Essence that is called the soul.
That is not correct. It is the soul that houses the Body.
Your soul does not live within your body. It is the other way around. Your body lives within the force field that you call your soul. It is housed within the energy configuration, within the localized expression of Universal Spirit, that is the Essence of Who You Are.
This force field, this radiating, pulsating energy package that surrounds your body, is sometimes thought of by you as the aura. It is more than that, much more than what you imagine the aura to be, but that is nevertheless good imagery for your earliest venture into understanding, because it presents you with a picture that you can hold in your mind.
The part of you that some of you think of as your soul is the energy of Life Itself, localized and concentrated at a particular point on what you would call the Space-Time Continuum. This Life Energy vibrates and shimmers and pulsates and glows around every physical object in the Universe. Depending upon the frequency of its vibration, this energy may sometimes be seen. It can also produce other effects, such as heat.
Some people call this glow the Light, the Eternal Flame, the Source, the Soul, or by other names that suit their particular poetry. It is, in fact, the Prime Essence, the Base Substance, the Core Material of all things. This Light is Who You Are.
In your misunderstanding, you have thought that this Light radiates from all physical objects. In fact, the process is exactly the reverse.
This Light radiates into all physical objects, and thus creates them.
The energy field that you call this Light, or the soul, envelopes the physical object it has created and extends outward from that object into eternity. That is, the energy never ends. There is No Place where your energy field stops and another energy field begins. This means that there is no place where your soul ends and another's begins.
It is like the air in your house. In your home, there are separate rooms, yet there is only "one air." The air in one room is not separate from the air in another—which you discover quickly when you are in your living room and you smell that bread baking in the kitchen. There is no place where the "living room air" ends and the "kitchen air" begins.
What is true is that the farther you move away from your kitchen, the less you can sense the portion of All The Air Everywhere that is there in the kitchen.
Yet your dog can smell that bread from outside the house. That is because the air that surrounds the house, that envelops the house, is not in any way separate from the air within it.
This is my analogy, to help you understand. And have I not said, in my Kingdom there are many mansions?
The force field that is your soul becomes thin and expanded the farther it extends from its localized source, but it never disappears completely, nor ceases to be. Instead, it mixes and merges with other force fields, forming other localized concentrations and creating a complex, interweaving pattern extending infinitely.
We are talking here about a force field without borders. We are describing a soul that never ends.
This is, in fact, what you are.
You are an energy that never ends, in time or space.
