聽神談【人類是生於「原力」而非生於「原罪」】
人類會拿自己的權力(power)去換取他們想要的東西。直到你决定「你情願不要你用自己權力所換得東西」時,你會得回那力量。
你所得回的正是「你與生俱來內在固有」的力量。這稱為「原力」(Original power,原始力量 )。它即「你真正是誰」的本質。這就是我所說的「禮物」(The Gift)。
尼爾:嘿!「原力」?
是的。
尼爾:我們全都擁有它?
是的。
尼爾:連小嬰兒也有?
是的,只不過他們不曉得而已。他們不記得。大多數人都不記得,甚至當他們年紀更大時。大多數成人仍然不記得。他們活在一種可形容爲失憶症的狀態裡,在其中,他們忘了他們擁有這個原始力量。
尼爾:這力量是什麽,我們又能用它來做什麽?
它是「神的力量」(the Power of God) 。它是「我的」力量。它是「我是誰及我是什麽」。你沒聽過你們是「以神的形象和模樣」被造出來的嗎?
尼爾:我聽過那句話,沒錯。
然而,你們大多數人並不明白這意味著什麽。你們認爲自己是「生於原罪」(Original Sin) 的,而你們相信這點。現在我告訴你們,你們一直都是生於「原力」 (Original Power ,原始力量) 的。
尼爾:我們能用它來做什麽?你還沒回答我前一個問題。我們能用它來做什麽?
創造。
尼爾:創造?
創造。原力即創造的力量 (Original Power is the power to create.) 。
尼爾:創造什麽?
任何你喜歡的東西。任何你選擇的,不論是什麽。
真的。這力量不僅是你們所擁有 (what you have) 的東西,它即你們所是 (what you ARE)。你們擁有,並且你們即是創造的力量。如果你們明白這一點,你們的整個人生都會改變。
摘自《與神對話 青春版》第4章
As soon as you decide that you would rather not have what you have been trading your power for, you reclaim that power and then get what you choose.
What you have reclaimed is the inherent power with which you have been born. This is called Original Power. It is the essence of Who You Really Are.
This is what I have termed The Gift.
Neale: "Original power," Huh?
Yes.
Neale:We all have it?
Yes.
Neale: Even babies?
Yes, only they don't know it. They don't remember. Most people don't remember, even when they get older. Most adults still do not remember. They are living in what could be described as a state of amnesia, in which they have forgotten that they have this Original Power.
Neale: What at is this power, and what can we do with it?
It is the Power of God. It is MY power. It is Who and What I Am. Have you not been told that you have been made "in the image and likeness of God"?
Neale: I've heard that, yeah.
Yet most of you do not know what this means. You think that you have been born in Original Sin, and you believe this. I tell you now that you have been born in Original Power.
Neale: What can we do with it? You don't answer my question before. What can we do with it?
Create.
Neale: Create?
Create. Original Power is the power to create.
Neale: Create what?
Anything you like. Whatever you choose.
Neale: Yeah, right.
Really. This power is not just what you have, it is what you ARE. You have, and are, the power to create. And if you knew this, your whole life would change.
