順心如意不等於平安快樂

這幾天即使吃得再少，都依然有脹氣的不適感。

但我發現脹氣，似乎就表示需要靜下心來聆聽累積已久的訊息。

(今天這一課剛好是：我願靜下心來聆聽真理)

近期離職後，終於重獲充分的時間與自由。

過了幾週順心如意的生活，想做什麼就做什麼，

卻發覺心靈並不寧靜。

潛在的內疚有時化作金錢的焦慮，有時轉為未來的擔憂，

依然暗潮洶湧。

我一直以為只要能順心如意，就會平安快樂，

事實顯然不是如此。

我一直以為自己的不平安是因為這具身體的種種問題，

但心靈的平安與身體的狀態無關，

而與我們的信念有關。

當喧囂都沈寂下來，核心信念便會浮出檯面。

才發現我對自己的觀感之謬誤，簡直坑坑疤疤。

(陸續打了幾個嗝，脹氣果然消了)

只要與祂信念一致，心靈就平安。

因此若是真心想要平安，就只有一件事能做了。

小確幸是祂的恩賜嗎？

生活中發生的小確幸，第一時間往往會覺得是聖靈恩賜。

但當事情發生變化，卻又讓我錯愕。

例如提離職後出現看似適合的交接人選，但不久就離開；

例如好似撿到便宜機票，不久就取消且必須重買好幾倍高的一張。

這不禁讓我重新檢視自己的信念。

若聖靈確實無時無刻關注著我，那麼祂關注的是這個「我」嗎？

所謂的「上主之子」是那抉擇的心靈，

而不是這夢中的角色，我所誤認的自己。

聖靈心心念念的，是上主之子的幸福與平安。
心靈痛苦的原因是因為它遺忘了真相，誤認自己只是具身體，

而祂所做的就是引導它重新憶起。

因此，祂豈會在意心靈所投射出的種種成敗得失？

我又何須在意？

唯一要做的，就只是學習祂的眼光而已。

Father, Your holiness is mine

Father, Your holiness is mine
Your Love created me, and made my sinlessness forever part of You

I have no guilt nor sin in me
for there is none in You

天父，祢的神聖生命也是我的生命
祢的聖愛創造了我，也讓我的無罪本質永屬於祢
我無罪也無咎，只因為祢也毫無罪咎

W235: 2

There is a place in you where this whole world has been forgotten
where no memory of sin and of illusion linger still
There is a place in you which time has left
and echoes of eternity are heard
There is resting place so still no sound
except a hymn to Heaven rises up
to gladden God the Father and the Son
Where both abide are They remembered, both
And where They are is Heaven and is peace

在你心內有一處遺忘了全世界，沒有一絲罪的記憶與幻相的痕跡
在你心內有一處時間不復存在，卻迴盪著永恆之音
有一處安息之所，如此寂靜
只有聖父與聖子的歡悅歌聲響徹天堂
這是祂們安居之地，也唯有此處能憶起祂們
凡是祂們所在之處，即是平安的天堂

Think not that you can change Their dwelling place
For your Identity abides in Them
and where They are, forever must you be
The changelessness of Heaven is in you
so deep within that nothing in this world
but passes by unnoticed and unseen
The still infinity of endless peace surrounds you
gently in its soft embrace
so strong and quiet, tranquil in the might of its Creator
nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within

切勿以為能改變祂們的居所，因為你的真實「身份」就在祂們內
祂們所在之處，你都在那兒
永恆不移的天堂都在你內
深深埋藏在這無名世界下，你卻視若無睹、恍若未聞
寂靜無邊的平安輕柔地環抱著你
如此穩定而寧靜，在天父大能的庇佑下

沒有任何事物侵擾得了你內的上主之子

T29. V: 1-2

God speaks to us

God speaks to us. Shall we not speak to Him?
He is not distant. He makes no attempt to hide from us
We try to hide from Him, and suffer from deception
He remains entirely accessible. He loves His Son
There is no certainty but this, yet this suffices
He will love His Son forever
When his mind remains asleep, He loves him still
And when his mind awakes, He loves him with a never-changing Love.

上主正向我們發言，我們豈能不回應？
祂就近在咫尺，且始終無意迴避
是我們故意躲著祂，並為此自欺而受苦
祂一直留在你身邊，愛著自己的聖子
這份愛恆久不渝，僅僅這一點就足夠了
祂永遠愛著自己的聖子
即便他的心沉睡仍愛他依舊
心靈甦醒之際，祂的聖愛始終如一

If you but knew the meaning of His Love
hope and despair would be impossible
For hope would be forever satisfied; despair of any kind unthinkable
His grace His answer is to all despair
for in it lies remembrance of His Love
Would He not gladly give the means by which His Will is recognized?
His grace is yours by your acknowledgment
And memory of Him awakens in the mind
that asks the means of Him whereby its sleep is done

你若知道聖愛的真諦
便不可能再懷抱「願望」與「絕望」
「願望」既已永遠得償，「絕望」自然成了不可思議的事
祂以恩典答覆了所有的絕望，在此天恩內你將憶起祂的聖愛
祂豈會不樂意幫人認出自己的旨意？
只要認清這一點，天恩就來臨了
向祂祈求終結夢境之道，心靈就會醒轉而想起祂來

Your grace is given me. I claim it now
Father, I come to You. And You will come to me who ask
I am the Son You love.
祢已將恩典賜給了我，現在我就要領受
天父，我來到祢面前，並相信祢也會回應我的祈請
因為我是祢摯愛的孩子

W168: 1-2; 6: 5

“I rest in God” Completely undismayed

“I rest in God” Completely undismayed
this thought will carry you through storms and strife
past misery and pain, past loss and death
and onward to the certainty of God
There is no suffering it cannot heal
There is no problem that it cannot solve
And no appearance but will turn to truth
before the eyes of you who rest in God

「我安息於上主內」
這一念會將帶領你安然通過風暴及考驗
越過苦難及傷痛、失落與死亡
邁向上主的永恆之境
沒有它不能治癒的痛苦
沒有它無法化解的難題
當你安息於上主內
一切表相便再也無法遮掩實相

You rest within the peace of God today
and call upon your brothers from your rest
to draw them to their rest, along with you
You will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one
bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your peace
the holy sanctuary where you rest
Open the temple doors and let them come
from far across the world, and near as well
your dis­tant brothers and your closest friends
bid them all enter here and rest with you

今天，你在上主的平安內安息
你的安寧也會邀請弟兄一同歸於安寧
今天，你將全心信任，不遺忘任何一人
將每個人都納入無限寬廣的平安圈內
這即是你安息的聖所
打開這聖殿的大門，無論遠在天涯或近若比鄰
君子之交還是莫逆之交
全都邀請進門，共享安寧吧

W109: 3; 8

God’s Name can not be heard without response

God’s Name can not be heard without response
nor said with­out an echo in the mind that calls you to remember
Say His Name, and you invite the angels
to surround the ground on which you stand and sing to you
as they spread out their wings to keep you safe
and shelter you from every worldly thought that would intrude upon your holiness

當聽到上主聖名，你不可能不答覆

說出此名時，心中必會泛起記憶甦醒的迴響
一旦道出祂的聖名，就有如迎請天使前來
在你身畔圍繞歌唱，展開羽翼細心護守
阻絕任何雜念侵擾你的神聖時刻

Repeat the Name of God, and call upon your Self, Whose Name is His
Repeat His Name, and all the tiny, nameless things on earth
slip into right perspective
Those who call upon the Name of God
can not mistake the nameless for the Name
nor sin for grace, nor bodies for the holy Son of God
And should you join a brother as you sit with him in silence
and repeat God’s Name along with him within your quiet mind
you have established there an altar
which reaches to God Himself and to His Son

複誦上主聖名，即是呼求你的自性，因為你的自性亦屬於祂
只有複誦祂的聖名，才能識出世間一切無名萬物的真相
凡是呼求上主聖名的人，便不會將無名視為聖名
或將罪惡與恩典、身體與上主的聖子混為一談
只要你靜靜坐在弟兄身旁，在心裡一同詠頌上主的聖名
就搭起了一座祭壇，直接通往上主與其聖子

Turn to the Name of God for your release, and it is given you
No prayer but this is necessary, for it holds them all within it
Words are insignificant, and all requests unneeded
when God’s Son calls on his Father’s Name
His Father’s Thoughts become his own
He makes his claim to all his Father gave
is giving still, and will forever give
He calls on Him to let all things he thought he made be nameless now
and in their place the holy Name of God
becomes his judgment of their worthlessness

向上主之名祈請解脫吧，救恩已然賜予給你
你需要的只有此一禱詞，因它含容了世間的一切祈求
當聖子呼求天父聖名，語言全都無足輕重，其他祈求也不再必要

天父的聖念成為了自己的念頭
祂過去、現在及未來所賜的禮物，也全都認領下來了
此刻，他只祈求自己以往所營造的一切都變回無名之物
讓上主的聖名來證明它們的一文不值

All little things are silent. Little sounds are soundless now
The little things of earth have disappeared
The universe consists of nothing but the Son of God, who calls upon his Father
And his Father’s Voice gives answer in his Father’s holy Name
In this eternal, still relationship, in which communication far transcends all words
and yet exceeds in depth and height
what­ever words could possibly convey, is peace eternal
In our Fa­ther’s Name, we would experience this peace today
And in His Name, it shall be given us

所有卑微之物銷聲匿跡，無謂的雜音也靜默下來
世間微不足道之物都消失了蹤影
全宇宙只剩下一位上主之子，正在呼求天父
而天父的聲音也回以祂的聖名
在這寧靜的永恆關係中，蘊含了永恆的平安
祂們的交流超乎一切言詮，任何文字都無法傳達其深遠崇高
今天，憑天父之名，我們將會體驗此平安之境
因這是祂的聖名給予我們的禮物

W183: 2; 4; 10-11

God is with me

God is with me
He is my Source of life, the life within
the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained
the water which renews and cleanses me

上主與我同在
祂是我的生命源頭，我的內在生命
我呼吸的空氣，滋養我的食物，也是更新我、淨化我的水泉

He is my home, wherein I live and move
the Spirit which directs my actions
offers me Its Thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain

祂是我的居所，行住坐臥都在祂內
聖靈時時指引我的言行，賜我祂的聖念
保護我不受一切痛苦侵擾

He covers me with kindness and with care
and holds in love the Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him
How still is he who knows the truth of what He speaks today!

祂仁慈地護守著我，光耀著摯愛的聖子
而聖子也同樣返照於祂
能體悟此一真理之人，心靈多麼平安！

W222: 1

I rest in God today

I rest in God today
and let Him work in me and through me
while I rest in Him in quiet and in perfect certainty

今天，我在上主內安息
靜靜地安棲於祂內，全然篤定
願祂在我內運作，並透過我作工

W120: 1

The Thought of God created you

It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from it an instant
It belongs to you. By it you live
It is your Source of life, holding you one with it
and every­thing is one with you because it left you not

上主的聖念創造了你
它片刻都不曾離開過你，你也從未與它分離
它屬於你，而你賴它而活
它是你的生命之源，並與你一體不分
正因它始終與你同在，你便與萬物合而為一

The Thought of God protects you, cares for you
makes soft your resting place and smooth your way
lighting your mind with happiness and love
Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind
because the Thought of God has left you not, and still abides with you

上主的聖念守護著你、看顧著你
讓你的安息之處溫軟舒適，使你的道途平坦穩當
以愛與喜悅點亮你的心靈
正因上主的聖念未曾離開，持續與你同在
永恆生命的光芒始終都在你的心中綻放

W165: 2

Be in my mind, my Father
when I wake, and shine on me throughout the day today
Let every minute be a time in which I dwell with You
And let me not forget my hourly thanksgiving
that You have remained with me, and always will be there
to hear my call to You and answer me

天父，請祢與我同在
從我初醒之際，在這一整天都時時眷顧我
願每一分鐘都成為與祢共處的時刻
且每小時都不忘感謝祢的持續相伴
以及傾聽與俯允我的祈求

As evening comes, let all my thoughts be still of You and of Your Love
And let me sleep sure of my safety, certain of Your care
and happily aware I am Your Son

到了夜晚，願我的心仍記念著祢及祢的聖愛
願我在入夢之際全然安心，信賴祢的看顧
並慶幸自己始終都是祢的聖子

W232: 1

The miracle comes quietly into the mind

The miracle comes quietly into the mind
that stops an instant and is still
It reaches gently from that quiet time
and from the mind it healed in quiet then
to other minds to share its quietness

內在只要靜止片刻，奇蹟便會翩然而至
在靜謐時分悄然療癒那顆寧靜的心
同時溫柔地流向其他心靈，欣然分享自己的安寧

And they will join in doing nothing
to prevent its radiant extension back into the Mind
Which caused all minds to be born out of sharing

於是它們都能齊心一致
不再阻礙奇蹟將燦爛的光輝反映回天心
那是所有心靈的故鄉，因著祂分享的本質而誕生

There can be no pause in time
to cause the miracle delay in hastening to all unquiet minds
and bringing them an instant's stillness
when the memory of God returns to them

就連時間也無法阻礙奇蹟的腳步
輕叩每一扇不平安的心門，捎來片刻的寧靜
在這一刻他們便會憶起上主

Their own remembering is quiet now
and what has come to take its place
will not be wholly unremembered afterwards

個人的記憶遂黯然褪去
而那取代而之的
從今而後也再無法徹底遺忘了

T28. I: 11

Love Song

Music by: Martin - Spirit Am I

My Lord, my Love, my Life, I live in you.
There is no life apart from what you are.
I breathe your words, I rest upon your arms.
My sight is hallowed by your single star.

I do not always recognize your face,
Or hear your Voice. I do not always see
The strangers whom you send are messengers
You choose to bring your holy Word to me.

You are the stranger then. And I am dead
To holy things that Heaven’s light shines through.
The world I see is enemy to me
When I forget my lovely Love is you.

Forgetting you is to forget myself,
Why I have come and where it is I go.
My Lord, my Love, my Life, let me forget
All things except the loveliness you know.

- Helen Schucman January 8, 1977

Awake in Stillness

Music by: Martin - Spirit Am I

Peace cover you, within without the same,
In shining silence and in peace so deep
No dream of sin and evil can come near
Your quiet mind. And then in stillness wake.

First there is silence; then awakening.

Now is the time appointed for the end
Of dreaming. Still the cradle where you come
To be reborn. The Christ is stirring in
The home that He has chosen as His Own.

His vision rests upon your eyes, and soon
You will behold His face, and will forget
The fantasies that seemed to be so real
Until the stillness came. The Son of God
Has come to join you now. His shining hand

Is on your shoulder. And God's silent Voice
Speaks ceaselessly of Heaven. You will hear
His single message calling to His Own
From His abiding place, to wake in God.

- Helen Schucman, January 15, 1974

The Risen Sun

Music by: Martin - Spirit Am I

Be still, my soul, and rest upon the Lord
In quiet certainty. For He has come
To rescue you from doubt. And now you stand
In blazing glory of a risen sun
That cannot set. It will forever be
Exactly as it is. You stand with Him
Within a radiance prepared for you
Before time was and far beyond its reach.

Be still and know. And knowing, be you sure
Your Lord has come to you. There is no doubt
That stands before His countenance, nor can
Conceal from you what He would have you see.

The sun has risen. He has come at last.

Where stands his Presence there can be no past.
Be still, my soul, and rest upon the Lord
Who comes to keep the promise of His Word.

- Helen Schucman February 11, 1974

Love which created me is what I am

Love which created me is what I am

W229

---

Let us be still an instant

and forget all things we ever learned, all thoughts we had
and every preconception we hold of what things mean
and what their purpose is
Let us remember not our own ideas of what the world is for
We do not know
Let every image held of everyone be loosen from our minds
and swept away

且讓我們安靜片刻
忘卻所學的一切，放下一切念頭
以及對萬物意義與目的所持的種種成見
別再執著我們舊有的世界觀了
我們什麼都不知道
放下你為每個人營造的種種形象，目送它們消逝

Be innocent of judgement
Unaware of any thoughts of evil or good
that ever crossed your mind of anyone
Now do you know him not
But you are free to learn of him, and learn of him anew
Now is he born again to you, and you are born again to him
without the past that sentenced him to die, and you with him

忘卻一切判斷吧
不再理會心中對任何人的善惡之念
如今，你對他一無所知
卻能自在地重新瞭解他了
如今，他對你好似重生之人，而你對他也是如此
再不會像過去那般想置他於死地，甚或同歸於盡了

Now is he free to live, as you are free
Because the ancient learning passed away
and left the place for truth to be reborn

他終於與你一樣，活出自由的生命
千百萬劫習得的一切終得化解
還給真理一席之地重生

T31. I: 12, 13

聖靈的小妙方

1. 「嗎」：

當我們把頭腦裡的所有念頭當真，每個念頭都肯定無比。

但事實是許多念頭的真實性根本經不起考驗，

而我們卻毫不遲疑地全盤接受！

覺察飄過的念頭，在句尾加上「嗎？」或「這是真的嗎？」，

不用急著否定或肯定，只要帶著疑問、渴望真實答案，

就已騰出空間給祂，讓祂給予指引和靈感。

2. 「供桌大拜拜」：

中元普渡時，大家喜歡買各種自己鍾愛的各種零食點心，

放在神桌上一字排開當成供品。

歡迎祭拜聖靈，祂不需要你的鮮花素果，更不用沐浴更衣，

只希望你與祂共享自己珍藏的秘密，並懷著和祂相同的心願。

在心裡想像一個供桌，把每一個讓你困擾的事件放在桌上吧！

真心誠意的分享，祂會為你一筆勾銷所有負擔，

徹底「清零」是祂最擅長的了。

3. 「I deserve...」：

想想你最想要的品質是什麼，

放鬆？快樂？豐盛？平安？

在「我值得...」後面加上這個品質，

觀察自己是否開始抗拒或不認同，這是覺察內疚的好方法。

是誰在看衰或詛咒自己？

若有相關念頭開始浮出，用第一個「嗎」方法來檢驗。
