聽神談【關於「死亡」和「不足」的幻覺】
當你理解，每個刹那都是一個死亡時，你會更高超巧妙地找到和創造平靜。每個瞬間都是個過去的你的一個死亡，而每個瞬間也是你現在正選擇成為的新生命之開始。
在每個瞬間，你都在重新創造你自己。你是有意識或無意識地這樣做，對於正在發生的事具有覺知或毫無覺知。
你們並不需要面對你先前稱為「死亡」的片刻，才能體驗更多生命。在任何時候只要你想，你都能在一百種不同的時刻，以一百種不同方式體驗更多的生命——不論在你出生的瞬間、在你死亡的瞬間，或在其間的任何一刻。
至少我能向你們承諾：在你們肉身死亡的瞬間，你們都將體驗到更多生命——而這將比任何事都更能說服你，是有更多的生命的，生命生生不息而永遠不會結束。在那一瞬間你會了解，從來沒有不夠的時候。生命從來沒有不夠，而生命的東西也從來不曾不夠。
這將讓第四個幻覺永遠消散。然而，不足的幻覺將在你們死亡前的片刻消散，這是我在此的信息。
要「產生更多生命」的方法就是「體驗更多的死亡」。別讓死亡成為一生只此一遭的事！體驗你人生中的每個片刻為一次死亡(Experience each moment of your life as a death.)，因為，事實上它就是如此，當你重新定義死亡為一個經驗的結束和另一個經驗的開始時(re-define death as simply the end of one experience and the beginning of another)。
當你這樣做時，你就能在每個片刻為剛剛過去、剛剛才死亡的東西，舉行一個小小的葬禮。隨後，你就能扭轉局勢和創造未來，領悟到是有一個未來，是有更多生命。
當你明白了這一點，不足的想法便粉碎了，而你就能以一種新方式，帶著新的了解和更深的感激、帶著更大的覺知和更大的意識，開始好好地利用當下的每個黃金片刻。
你的生命將永遠不再一樣了。
摘自《與神合一》第7章
You will even find equanimity in the moments before your death, for you will see your death, too, as perfect.
You will find and create equanimity even more masterfully when you understand that every moment is a dying. Every moment is the end of your life as what you were, and the beginning of your new life as what you now choose to become.
In each moment you are recreating yourself anew. You are either doing this consciously or unconsciously, with awareness or completely unaware of what is going on.
You do not have to be facing the moment of what you have previously called “death” in order to experience more life. You can experience more life whenever you wish, in a hundred different ways, at a hundred different times—at the moment of your birth, at the moment of your death, or at any moment in between.
This much I promise you: You will experience more life at the moment of your physical death—and this will do more than anything else to convince you that there is more life, that life goes on and on, and never, ever ends. In that instant will you realize that there was never not enough. There was never not enough of Life, and there was never not enough of the stuff of life.
This will dissolve The Fourth Illusion forever. Yet that Illusion can be dissolved before the moment of your death, and that is My message here.
The way to produce more life is to experience more death. Don’t let death be a once-in-a- lifetime thing! Experience each moment of your life as a death, for that is, in truth, what it is when you re-define death as simply the end of one experience and the beginning of another.
When you do this, you can have a little funeral each moment for what just passed, for what just died. And then you can turn around and create the future, realizing that there is a future, that there is more Life.
