奇蹟課程第四十三課 (ACIM W43) 上主是我的生命根源,離開祂,我便一無所見

【上主是我的生命根源,離開祂,我便一無所見】
God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.

1.
⋯⋯知見不屬於上主的境界。真知才屬於祂的領域。然而,祂創造了聖靈,作為知見與真知之間的唯一中介。你與上主之間若非還有這一道連結,知見恐怕早就篡奪了你心中的真知了。因著你與上主的這道連結,知見才得以轉變及淨化,逐漸導向真知之境。那正是知見在聖靈眼中的作用。因此,那也是它在真理內的功能。
Perception is not an attribute of God. His is the realm of knowledge. Yet He has created the Holy Spirit as the Mediator between perception and knowledge. Without this link with God, perception would have replaced knowledge forever in your mind. With this link with God, perception will become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge. That is its function as the Holy Spirit sees it. Therefore, that is its function in truth.

2.
在上主內,你沒有看的能力。知見在上主內毫無作用可言,等於不存在。但知見在救恩內卻具有極大的功能,因救恩乃是在化解那根本就不存在之物。知見雖是上主之子為了不聖潔的目的而妄造出來的,卻也是他重新覺醒於自己神聖本質不可或缺的工具。知見本身不具任何意義。然而,聖靈卻賜給它一個貼近於上主的意義。知見一被治癒,變成了上主之子寬恕他弟兄因而寬恕了他自己的工具。
In God you cannot see. Perception has no function in God, and does not exist. Yet in salvation, which is the undoing of what never was, perception has a mighty purpose. Made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose, it must become the means for the restoration of his holiness to his awareness. Perception has no meaning. Yet does the Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his brother, and thus forgives himself.

3.
離開上主,你一無所見,因為你根本不可能與上主分開。不論你做什麼,都是在祂內做出來的;因為不論你想什麼,也是在天心內想出來的。如果慧見是真實不虛的,而且它的真實程度端賴它分享聖靈目標的程度而定;那麼,離開了上主,你自然就一無所見。
You cannot see apart from God because you cannot be apart from God. Whatever you do you do in Him, because whatever you think, you think with His Mind. If vision is real, and it is real to the extent to which it shares the Holy Spirit's purpose, then you cannot see apart from God.

4.
今天你需要正式地練習三次,每次五分鐘,一次愈早愈好,一次愈晚愈好。第三次則可在最方便且合適的時候進行,也就是外在環境及你的心境許可之際。每次練習採取四、五個對象就夠了。例如:
上主是我的生命根源。離開祂,我無法看見那張桌子。
上主是我的生命根源,離開祂,我無法看見那幅畫像。

 
Three five-minute practice periods are required today, one as early and one as late as possible in the day. The third may be undertaken at the most convenient and suitable time that circumstances and readiness permit. Four or five subjects for this phase of the practice period are sufficient. You might say, for example:

God is my Source. I cannot see this desk apart from Him.
God is my Source. I cannot see that picture apart from Him.

5.
雖然這一部份練習應該簡短一點,但切記,在取材練習時,務必一視同仁,不要擅自挑選或排斥。後半段的練習比較長;閉起你的眼睛,再次複誦今天的觀念,然後,讓相關的念頭有心裡自然浮現,為今天的主題增添一些你個人的觀點。譬如:
我要透過寬恕之眼來看。
我眼中的世界是蒙受祝福的。
世界能幫我認識自己。
我看見自己的想法,與上主的相似。
只要直接與今天的觀念有一點關聯的念頭,均可採用。

Although this part of the exercise period should be relatively short, be sure that you select the subjects for this phase of practice indiscriminately, without self-directed inclusion or exclusion. For the second and longer phase, close your eyes, repeat today's idea again, and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own personal way. Thoughts such as:
 
I see through the eyes of forgiveness.
I see the world as blessed.
The world can show me myself.
I see my own thoughts, which are like God's.

Any thought related more or less directly to today's idea is suitable. The thoughts need not bear any obvious relationship to the idea, but they should not be in opposition to it.

7.
今天的「短式」練習的形式,可以隨著當時的處境與事件而自行調整。例如,當你與某人會晤時,試著記得默默地對他說:
上主是我的生命根源。離開祂,我就無法看見你。
In applying today's idea in the shorter practice periods, the form may vary according to the circumstances and situations in which you find yourself during the day. When you are with someone else, for example, try to remember to tell him silently:

God is my Source. I cannot see you apart from Him.
 
8.
這觀念也應套用在今天可能發生的任何場景及事件上,尤其是那些好似常惹你心煩的事情。
上主是我的生命根源。離開祂,我就無法看清這件事情。
Today's idea should also be applied throughout the day to various situations and events that may occur, particularly to those which seem to distress you in any way.

God is my Source. I cannot see this apart from Him.

9.
你若想不出任何具體的對象,只需複誦這觀念的原有形式即可。今天試著不要忘卻這個觀念太久,你才會憶起自己在世的任務。
If no particular subject presents itself to your awareness at the time, merely repeat the idea in its original form. Try today not to allow any long periods of time to slip by without remembering today's idea, and thus remembering your function.
