你了解你的靈魂嗎?
如果你想真正認識和了解你的靈魂,牢記這篇裡面神說的每一句話,每一個觀念(例如:知識是概念性的,感受是經驗性的。靈魂想要親自感受的是,在它自己的經驗裡認識它自己;人生中的挫敗和焦慮來自不聆聽自己的靈魂。),它能幫我們帶來更擴展的意識、更快的覺醒、更多的憶起,及身心靈更均衡發展的和諧生活與人生。

聽神談【靈魂渴望追求的是什麼?】
靈魂非常清楚它的目的是演化(evolution)。那是它唯一(sole)的目的——也是靈魂(soul)的目的(註:sole和soul的發音一模一樣)。它並不在意身體的成就或心智的發展。這些對靈魂而言都是無意義的。
靈魂也很清楚,離開身體並非什麼了不起的悲劇。在許多方面對靈魂來說,困在身體裡才是悲劇。所以你必須明白,靈魂看待這整件死亡的事是和你是不同的。當然,它看待整個「生命這回事」也是不同的——而這就是一個人在他人生中感到挫敗和焦慮的主要來源。挫敗和焦慮來自不聆聽自己的靈魂。(The frustration and anxiety comes from not listening to one’s soul.)
尼爾:我怎樣才能儘量聆聽我的靈魂?如果靈魂是我真正的老大,我如何能確知我是從他那裡得到些指示呢?
你能做的第一件事是:弄清楚你的靈魂在追求什麼——並且不再去加以批判。停止對你自己做批判。學會並記住靈魂的渴望是什麼,而順隨著那渴望。順隨你的靈魂。(Learn what is the sould’s desire, and go with that. Go with the soul.)
靈魂追求的是——你對愛所能想像的最高感受(the highest feeling of love you can imagine)。這是靈魂的渴望。這是它的目的。靈魂在追求的就是這感受。不是知識而是感受。它已然有那知識,但知識是概念性的。感受是經驗性的。靈魂想要親自感受的是,在它自己的經驗裡認識它自己。
最高的感受是體驗與「一切萬有」的合一。這是靈魂所渴望回歸的偉大真理。這 是「完美的愛」的感受。
靈魂的工作是促使我們去選擇那偉大 ——選擇你最高版本的「你是誰」——而不譴責你沒選擇的。這是一件需要許多世的輪迴來完成的巨大任務。
你的靈魂尋求那最高的感受。它尋求去體驗——去成為(be)——完美的愛。 它即完美的愛——它知道這一點。然而它希望它不只是知道它。它希望在其經驗裡成為它。你們(每個人和靈魂)在尋求成為神!(You are seeking to be God!)
摘自《與神對話 I 》第3章
The soul is very clear that its purpose is evolution. That is its sole purpose—and its soul purpose. It is not concerned with the achievements of the body or the development of the mind. These are all meaningless to the soul.
The soul is also clear that there is no great tragedy involved in leaving the body. In many ways, the tragedy is being in the body. So you have to understand, the soul sees this whole death thing differently. It, of course, sees the whole “life thing” differently, too—and that is the source of much of the frustration and anxiety one feels in one’s life. The frustration and anxiety comes from not listening to one’s soul.
Neale: How can I best listen to my soul? If the soul is the boss, really, how can I make sure I get those memos from the front office?
And so the first thing to do is to stop making these judgments against yourself. Learn what is the soul’s desire, and go with that. Go with the soul.
What the soul is after is—the highest feeling of love you can imagine. This is the soul’s desire. This is its purpose. The soul is after the feeling. Not the knowledge, but the feeling. It already has the knowledge, but knowledge is conceptual. Feeling is experiential. The soul wants to feel itself, and thus to know itself in its own experience.
The highest feeling is the experience of unity with All That Is. This is the great return to Truth for which the soul yearns. This is the feeling of perfect love.
The job of the soul, of course, is to cause us to choose the grandeur—to select the best of Who You Are—without condemning that which you do not select. This is a big task, taking many lifetimes.
Your soul seeks the highest feeling. It seeks to experience—to be—perfect love. It is perfect love—and it knows this. Yet it wishes to do more than know it. It wishes to be it in its experience.
Of course you are seeking to be God!
