奇蹟課程第四十六課 (ACIM W46) 上主是我得以寬恕的愛
【上主是我得以寬恕的愛】
God is the Love in which I forgive.
1.
上主不用寬恕，因為他從不定人的罪。必須先定人的罪，才有寬恕的必要。這個世界迫切需要寬恕，只因這是個充滿幻相的世界。因此，寬恕的人就等於將自己由幻覺中釋放出來；凡是不肯寬恕的人，等於自願囚禁於幻境之中。只有你能定自己的罪，所以也只有你能寬恕自己。
⋯⋯God does not forgive because He has never condemned. And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of this world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding themselves to them. As you condemn only yourself, so do you forgive only yourself.
2.
雖然上主不用寬恕，祂的聖愛卻是寬恕的基礎。恐懼會定人之罪，愛則給予寬恕。寬恕便如此消弭了恐懼的苦果，心靈才能再度覺於上主。
Yet although God does not forgive, His Love is nevertheless the basis of forgiveness. Fear condemns and love forgives. Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the mind to the awareness of God.
3.
今天至少需要練習三次，每次整整五分鐘，「短式」練習則多多益善。「長式」練習照舊先複誦一下今天的觀念閉起你的眼睛練習，花一兩分鐘的時間往內心搜索一下自己尚未寬恕的人。不用追究自己尚未寬恕他們到「什麼程度」。反正你不是全面寬恕他們，就是根本沒有寬恕。
Today's exercises require at least three full five-minute practice periods, and as many shorter ones as possible. Begin the longer practice periods by repeating today's idea to yourself, as usual. Close your eyes as you do so, and spend a minute or two in searching your mind for those whom you have not forgiven. It does not matter "how much" you have not forgiven them. You have forgiven them entirely or not at all.
4.
只要練習得當，你應該不難找出幾位自己尚未寬恕的人。最保險的方法是，凡是你不喜歡的人都是最佳的練習對象。一一指出他們的名字，並說：
上主是愛，在愛內我寬恕你，（人名）。
If you are doing the exercises well you should have no difficulty in finding a number of people you have not forgiven. It is a safe rule that anyone you do not like is a suitable subject. Mention each one by name, and say:
God is the Love in which I forgive you, [name].
5.
今天練習的第一部分，目的就是給你一個寬恕自己的機會。當你把這觀念套用在你想起來的所有人身上以後，便向自己說：
上主是愛，在愛內我寬恕了自己。
上主是愛，我以上主之愛來愛自己。
上主是愛，我蒙受祂聖愛的祝福。
The purpose of the first phase of today's practice periods is to put you in a position to forgive yourself. After you have applied the idea to all those who have come to mind, tell yourself:
God is the Love in which I forgive myself.
God is the Love with which I love myself.
God is the Love in which I am blessed.
6.
練習的形式可以自行變化，但切勿偏離主題。例如：
我不可能是有罪的，因為我是上主之子。
我已經被寬恕了。
在上主所愛的心靈內，恐懼沒有立足之地。
沒有攻擊的必要，因為愛已經寬恕了我。
不論哪一種形式，最後都該再複誦一遍今天的基本觀念作為結束。
The form of the application may vary considerably, but the central idea should not be lost sight of. You might say, for example:
I cannot be guilty because I am a Son of God.
I have already been forgiven.
No fear is possible in a mind beloved of God.
There is no need to attack because love has forgiven me.
The practice period should end, however, with a repetition of today's idea as originally stated.
7.
「短式」練習中，你可以隨興地複誦今天的基本觀念或是與此觀念相關的詞句。只是當狀況發生時，務必具體套用上去。在這一天中，只要你意識到自己對任何人（不論他在不在眼前）心生反感時，就應及時發揮其用。默默地向那人說：
上主是愛，在愛中我寬恕你。
The shorter practice periods may consist either of a repetition of the idea for today in the original or in a related form, as you prefer. Be sure, however, to make more specific applications if they are needed. They will be needed at any time during the day when you become aware of any kind of negative reaction to anyone, present or not. In that event, tell him silently:
God is the Love in which I forgive you.
