人生中所有問題幾乎都和「覺知」有關。因此把這一段精選摘文也歸類在「靜定、意識」裡，神在這篇告訴我們的觀念非常重要，值得再三詳讀：
聽神談【「覺知」的三個層次】
人類對每件事的「覺知」，都有三個層次。這三個覺知層次是：希望(hope)、相信(belief)、內心明瞭(knowing)。
當你對某事有個「希望」時，你期望它是真的，或它將會發生。就這個字的各種意義上，你是不確定的(not certain)。
當你「相信」某事時，你在想像它是真的，或將會發生。你是不確定的，但你認為你是確定的(not certain, but you think you are)，而你會繼續這樣想，除非某件相反的事物呈現在你面前。
而當你對某事有一種「內心明瞭」時，你很清楚它是真的，或它會發生。你在每一方面(感官辨識、意義、道理)都確定(certain in every sense)，縱使某件相反的事呈現在你的實相裡。你不會只從表相去判斷，因為你清楚知道真相是什麼。
摘自《與神為友》第6章
There are three levels of awareness around everything. These are: hope, belief, and knowing.
When you have a “hope” about something, you are wishing that it is true, or that it will happen. You are not certain, in any sense of the word.
When you have a “belief” about something, you are thinking that it is true, or that it will happen. You are not certain, but you think you are certain, and you continue to think so unless something to the contrary appears in your reality.
When you have a “knowing” about something, you are clear that it is true, or that it will happen. You are certain, in every sense of the word, and you continue to be certain even if something to the contrary appears in your reality.
