首先你們須願意承認:不只是你們的宗教行不通,你們的政治結構行不通、 你們的經濟體系行不通 ,你們的教育課程也是行不通 。你們意圖支撐社會所建構的各種架構,不但無法支撑,反倒正在使它傾垮頽廢……
聽神談【什麼是尋求「人類新世界」的可行之道?】:1/2
你們想像神會要求你們愛祂,否則的話 …… 。要求你們接受祂的教導,否則 …… 。要求你們以某種特定方式行事,否則 …… 。
只有一個充滿恐懼的神才會這麼做。充滿愛的神絕不會這麼做,祂無須這麼做,因爲愛會産生效忠擁戴,但恐懼會產生拒斥(For love begets its own allegiance, but fear rejects it.)。
然而,如果神是用恐懼的方式行事,用恐懼來獲取祂所需要的,你們不也應該這樣做嗎?你們不也應該以神的名義這樣做嗎?
這即是「你們自創的邏輯」之運作循環過程,而你們已經作繭自縛。這個惡性循環,現在正讓你們在這星球上自食惡果。
尼爾:我知道!這就是我爲什麼來向你求助,請告訴我們該如何做。我們都想要和平,想要結束悲傷與磨難,中止那似乎無法停止的彼此殺戮繼續進行。我們正尋求一個新的世界,告訴我們什麼是可行之道。 求求你。
我已經告訴過你們,首先必須承認:你們現在所做的,是行不通的。
不只是你們的宗教行不通 。 你們的政治結構行不通 。 你們的經濟體系行不通 。 你們的教育課程也是行不通 。
事實上,你們意圖支撐社會所建構的各種架構,不但無法支撑,反倒正在使它傾垮頽廢。
摘自《與神對話之新啟示》第6章
You imagine God to require you to love Him, or else. To require you to accept His teachings, or else. To require you to behave in a certain way, or else.
Only a God in fear would do this. A God in love would never do this. A God in love would never have to. For love begets its own allegiance, but fear rejects it.
Yet if God behaves in a fearful way, using fear to get what He wants and needs, should you not do this also? Indeed, should you not do it in His Name?
This is the circle of logic you have created, and you have trapped yourself within it. It is a vicious circle, and you are experiencing its viciousness right now on your planet.
Neale: I know! That’s why I’m asking you for help. Tell us what to do here. We all want peace. We all want an end to the sadness and the suffering, and to all the killing of each other that we are doing and don’t seem to be able to stop. We seek a newer world. Tell us what will work. Please.
I have told you. First, you must acknowledge that what you are now doing is not working.
And it is not only your religion that isn’t working. Your political structures are not working. Your economic systems are not working. Your educational programs are not working.
None of the constructions that you have put into place in your society are holding up your society. Indeed, they are bringing it down.
