追尋真理

英到中翻譯書

翻譯是我的最愛之一，我在美國有空就是翻書自娛。我也是專業翻譯和口譯員。這本身心靈的書很難譯，我花了許多個月才譯完。希望你會喜歡。

1. Put God first.

神放在第一位

2. Each day at dawn and at dusk your divine Beloved opens the door of peace and invites you in. The whole earth meditates then.

在每天的日出和日落時分，你敬愛的上天為你敞開一扇平靜祥和之門，並邀請你進入門內。此時，整個地球都在做冥想。

3. Do everything as worship, make every act an offering. The conscious awareness of the omnipresence of God will fill your heart and mind day and night.

把做任何事情都當成是在敬拜，將每一個行動都當作是在奉獻。不論白天或黑夜，有意識地覺察到無所不在的神，讓祂充滿你的頭腦和心靈。

4. Practice meeting all people and all situations with the awareness that you are meeting your Self. Assume basic goodness and transform even the most difficult relationship. Let the truth of your being meet the truth of another. The key to right relationship with everyone is respect based on oneness—the conscious realization that there is only one Reality. Our relationships provide a precious opportunity for spiritual awakening. Behold the Divine in all people and in all situations.

當你面對所有的人和情況時，請帶著一份你是在面對你的「真我」（Self）的覺察心。認定眾生本善，就算是最困難的人際關係，也要努力去轉化它。以你的真理與另一個人的真理相會。與每個人建立友好的關係的關鍵就在於尊重，這是建立在「一體」（oneness）——亦即你有意識地了解到只有一個「實相」（reality）——為基礎的尊重。我們的人際關係提供了靈性覺醒的寶貴機會，你會在所有的人事物上看到神性。

5. With spiritual maturity, we stop asking God to fix things for us. Instead, we learn to “lean into the light,” to cultivate the conscious awareness of spiritual sufficiency and divine grace already at work in our life. We see through the chaos of challenges by affirming that a higher harmony is unfolding. We bring that inner harmony into expression—first through our faith in the transformative power of Spirit, then through our conscious cooperation to do the next right thing we know to do. Through it all, we trust that all is well. This keeps our mind clear and our heart receptive to the divine guidance that is waiting to pour forth and fill the chalice of our consciousness.

隨著靈性成熟，我們就會停止要求上帝為我們解決問題。取而代之，我們學習「朝向光明」（lean into the light），培養有意識的覺察力，便能覺知到靈性的豐盈與神的恩典早已在你的生命中運作。我們不會被諸多挑戰帶來的混亂圍困住，因為我們相信有一個更高層次的和諧正在展開，我們將那個內在的和諧展現出來。首先，我們深信「靈」（the Spirit）有改變和轉化一切的力量；接著，我們透過有意識的合作，來做下一件我們知道是正確的事情。透過它，我們相信一切皆善。我們的腦變得更清晰，我們的心變得更容易接收上天的指引。我們的意識是一只杯子，上天的指引早就等待著被倒入和注滿這只杯子。
