聽神談【關於「愛」】：４/5
當你「給出」你認為你缺乏的東西時───愛、慈悲、友誼、金錢、任何東西───你會突然體驗到「你一向都有這些東西可以給別人」。這將改變所有的一切。這完全翻轉了你的思維，讓你看見「你擁有你以為你缺乏」的東西。
你擁有你以為你缺乏的東西，你擁有它。現在，你所需做的就是去倍增它、繁衍它。你不可能繁衍你沒有的東西。現在，你知道你擁有它，你便能輕易地擴大那經驗。
但要記住：這經驗最終與數量無關。如果你有一塊錢，而你給了兩毛五，那就像是當你有一百萬元，而你給了二十五萬。但是，你無法量化「being的狀態」(You cannot quantify beingness.)。你是being給予或不是being給予。你是being愛，或不是being愛。「給予」無法被量化。愛也無法。
你無法愛一個人「很多」，而愛另一個人「很少」。你只會是有being愛或沒有being愛，而你「如何顯示或表達你的愛」，則是另外一回事。愛可以用許多方式展示，但如果它是愛，它便不談條件，愛不認識條件為何物(love knows no condition)，尤其是一些可量化的條件。
摘自《重新定義神》第14章
When you give away that which you thought you lacked—love, compassion, companionship, money, anything—you suddenly experience that you had it to give all along.
This changes everything. This turns your thinking completely around, allowing you to see that you have what you thought you lacked.
You have it. You have it. Now all you need to do is multiply it. It’s impossible to multiply something you do not have. But now that you know you have it, you can expand that experience easily.
But remember, the experience ultimately has nothing to do with quantity. If you have a dollar and you give a quarter, it is as much as if you give a quarter million when you have a million. You cannot quantify beingness. You are either being Giving, or you are not. You are either being Loving, or you are not. “Givingness” cannot be quantified. Neither can love.
You cannot love one person “a lot” and another person “a little.” You either love or you do not. How you demonstrate your love is another matter.
Love may be demonstrated in many ways, but if it is love, it knows no condition, least of all the condition of quantifiability.
