【什麼是導致「人類所有憤怒與悲苦」的根源?】
整部九次與神對話公開信息都是在一種超覺意識(supraconscious)的意識層面進行和寫下的。在超覺意識層面一切都融為一體。以下這段是神經由尼爾——神在尼爾之內(in)、經由(through)尼爾,並且,以(as)尼爾的角度寫出的:
【什麼是導致「人類所有憤怒與悲苦」的根源?】
尼爾:我們都有一個「內在導引系統」,引導我們憑著直覺不由自主地走向彼此。我相信在我們的基因密碼裡,有個天生的機制,蘊含著宇宙的智慧。身為有知覺的生命(sentient beings),這個智慧促使我們做出最基本的反應,它將永恆的智慧傳導到細胞的層面,創造著所謂的吸引力法則(Law of Attraction)。
我相信我們天生就會彼此互相吸引,我們內心深處明白,「我們會從彼此的身上找到自己」。從意識的層面,我們可能未覺察,也可能無法明確說明,但我想在細胞層面我們了解這一點。並且我相信,這微觀上的了解來自一個宏觀的角度。我相信我們在最高的層面上都了解「我們全都是一體」的。
就是這種至高的覺知(supreme awareness)將我們拉向彼此,然而,忽略這份覺知,就會創造出人類最深的寂寞,以及人類的各種慘痛狀況。
這是與神的對話裡談到的:人類心裡的每個悲傷,人類處境的每種屈辱,人類經驗的每件悲劇,都可以歸因於一個人類的決定——認為「自己與別人是分離的」的決定。這個決定忽視了我們的「至高的覺知」。這個決定也稱我們彼此自然的吸引為「壞」,並認為「一體」是虛構不實的。
就這樣,我們否定了真正的自己(True Self)。而就是這樣的自我否定(對真正得自己的否定)產生出我們所有的負面思維。我們所有的憤怒、失望與悲苦,都在我們最大的喜悅——一體的喜悅(the joy of being One)——消失後產生。
人類彼此間的衝突是,縱使我們在細胞層面(cellular level)努力尋求體驗「一體」,但我們在智力心理層面(mental level)卻堅決否認它。
摘自《與神為友》第2章
Neale: We’re constantly trying to get into each other’s skin. There’s an internal guidance system that directs us intuitively and compellingly toward each other. I believe that there is a natural mechanism, at the level of our genetic code, which contains universal intelligence. This intelligence informs our most basic responses as sentient beings. It takes eternal wisdom to the cellular level, creating what some have called the Law of Attraction.
I believe we are attracted to each other inherently, out of a deep knowing that in each other we will find our Selves. We may not be aware of this consciously, we may not articulate this specifically, but I think we understand this cellularly. And I believe that this microcosmic understanding derives from a macrocosmic one. I believe we know at the highest level that We Are All One.
It is this supreme awareness that pulls us toward each other, and it is the ignoring of it that creates the deepest loneliness of the human heart, and every misery of the human condition.
This is what my conversation with God has shown me: that every sadness of the human heart, every indignity of the human condition, every tragedy of the human experience, can be attributed to one human decision—the decision to withdraw from each other. The decision to ignore our supreme awareness. The decision to call the natural attraction that we have for each other “bad,” and our Oneness a fiction.
In this we have denied our True Selves. And it is from this self-denial that all our negativity has sprung. All of our rage, all of our disappointment, all of our bitterness has found its birth in the death of our greatest joy. The joy of being One.
And the conflict of the human encounter is that even as we seek at the cellular level to experience our Oneness, we insist at the mental level on denying it.
