奇蹟課程第四十九課 (ACIM W49) 這一整天,上主之聲不斷向我發言

【這一整天,上主之聲不斷向我發言】
God's Voice speaks to me all through the day.

1.
⋯⋯你是可能整天聆聽上主之聲卻不至於干擾你的日常活動的。不論你覺察與否,真理所在的那一部份心靈始終與上主保持密切的聯繫。另一部分則會遵照世界的法則來運作。因此,這一部分的心一直處於六神無主、猶疑不定的狀態。
It is quite possible to listen to God's Voice all through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any way. The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not. It is the other part of your mind that functions in the world and obeys the world's laws. It is this part that is constantly distracted, disorganized and highly uncertain.

2.
至於聆聽上主之聲的那一部份心靈,則始終處於肯定不疑的安心狀態。只有這一部分才是真實的。其他部分只是瘋狂的幻覺,隨時伺機發作。今天試著不再聆聽它了!試著與永遠平靜安寧的那一部份心靈認同吧!試著聆聽上主之聲對你的慈愛召喚;它反覆向你保證:你的造物主從未忘懷祂的聖子。
The part that is listening to the Voice for God is calm, always at rest and wholly certain. It is really the only part there is. The other part is a wild illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. Try today not to listen to it. Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever. Try to hear God's Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten His Son.

3.
今天我們至少需要練習四次,每次五分鐘,多多益善。我們試著諦聽上主之聲告訴你的——祂的真相及你的自性。我們將懷著信心去領受這最幸福也最神聖的念頭;而且心中明白,這樣做,我們的意願便與上主的旨意結合了。祂要你聆聽祂的天音。祂既然賜給你這天音,一定會讓你聽到的。
We will need at least four five-minute practice periods today, and more if possible. We will try actually to hear God's Voice reminding you of Him and of your Self. We will approach this happiest and holiest of thoughts with confidence, knowing that in doing so we are joining our will with the Will of God. He wants you to hear His Voice. He gave It to you to be heard.

4.
深深地靜下來聆聽吧!在極度的寧靜中,開啟你的心扉。越過那覆蓋了你真實念頭且干擾了你與上主之永恆聯繫的喧囂妄想。越過這瘋狂世界的狂亂躁動的念頭、景象及聲音,向下沉潛到那靜靜等候著你的平安中。世界不是你的居所。我們努力前往之地才是你真正的家。我們努力前往的是真正歡迎你的地方。我們努力前往的乃是上主自己。
Listen in deep silence. Be very still and open your mind. Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sights and sounds of this insane world. You do not live here. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to reach God.

5.
不要忘了複誦今天的觀念,且多多益善。必要時可以張開眼睛來念,當環境許可時,盡量閉上眼睛。
Do not forget to repeat today's idea very frequently. Do so with your eyes open when necessary, but closed when possible.
