當一個特定事件發生在你身上時,別問自己它為什麼會發生。而是去「選擇」為什麼它發生、去「決定」它為什麼發生。
這是你去決定任何事物及每件事物的意義的機會。出自你的決定,你將定義自己與人生中任何事物及每件事物的關係。這是你藉之體驗「你選擇你是誰」的方法。
如果你無法以意圖來選擇或決定,那麼就去杜撰它。反正你們都已那樣做。你們杜撰出所有做事的理由,或事情為什麼會那樣發生的理由。然而,大多數時間你們都是無意識地在這樣做,現在,有意識地去做你的決定(和過你的生活)吧!
別「尋找」人生的意義,或任何特定事件、發生的事或境況的意義。要「給它」它的意義。然後宣佈和宣告、表達和體驗、實現和變成在你與它的關係中你選擇是誰 (Who You Choose to Be in relationship to it) 。
如果你是個敏銳的觀察者,你會覺察到:你(靈魂在超意識層面)一直不斷地在你的人生中把自己帶到同樣的情況或境地,直到你重新創造了你自己為止。
這即走向大師之道的旅途。 (This is the journey to mastery.)
摘自《與神合一》第16章
So when a particular thing happens to you, don't ask yourself why it is happening. Choose why it is happening. Decide why it is happening.
By rendering life meaningless, I give you the opportunity to decide what anything and everything means. Out of your decisions will you define yourself in relationship to anything and everything in life.
This is, in fact, the means by which you experience Who You Choose to Be.
If you can't choose or decide with intention, then make it all up. You are anyway You are making up all the reasons for doing things, or for why things are happening the way they are. Yet most of the time you are doing this unconsciously. Now make up your mind (and your life) consciously!
Do not search for life's meaning, or the meaning of any particular event, occurrence, or circumstance. Give it its meaning. Then announce and declare, express and experience, fulfill and become Who You Choose to Be in relationship to it.
If you are a keen observer, you will notice that you keep bringing yourself the same situation or circumstance over and over again in your life until you re-create yourself anew.
This is the journey to mastery.
