神:【「創造」是生命的第一目的、首要行動】
生命即是樂趣!生命本身即是樂趣!創造是樂趣!創造即人生所是的東西。創造是生命的首要行動,是生命的第一目的 (Creation is the stuff of Life. It is the Prime Act, the First Purpose.) 。
然而,如果你們知道每樣東西都已經被創造了,那麼,你們就無法創造任何東西!所以,「重新開始」是好玩的,因為在重新開始時,你們忘記每樣東西都已經被創造了。而你重新開始創造它們時,會好像它們不曾在那兒。
完整的答案將會充滿 ─── 已經充滿─── 在許多書上了。而在這對話的過程中,我們將列出一些方法。
這只是人類可獲得這些資訊的眾多來源之一。但現在,除了這個來源之外,我不要你去別的來源找,因為我知道,如果你必須離開這場對話,而去別的地方尋找你現在想尋求的答案的話,將會讓你沮喪。
尼爾:謝謝你。 那會是很讓人沮喪的。
所以,在此我將給你們簡短的答案,帶著「其實在一個深得多的層面,還有更多的內涵、更多能說的、更多可以理解的東西」的約定,以及如果你有興趣更進一步追求這方面信息的承諾,你將在你們世界裡參考一些其他的老師及來源,從中獲得這些信息更深入及更多的細節。
尼爾:有道理。
對大多數人而言,擴展他們意識最立即的方式,就是意識到他們「自己有個意識」的這件事實。
而「擁有覺知」是一種你們必須處在「有意識地覺察」的狀態。這叫做自覺(self-awareness)。
摘自《重新定義神》第4章
LIFE is fun! Life ITSELF is fun! Creating is fun. Creation is the stuff of Life. It is the Prime Act, the First Purpose.
Yet you cannot create anything if you know that every- thing has already been created! Therefore, “starting over” Is fun, because in starting over you forget that everything is already created, and you begin creating it all over again, as if it wasn’t already there.
As I began to say, the complete answer would fill—has filled—many books. Toward the end of this dialogue you will list some of them.
Yes. These will be just a few of the many, many sources from which humanity may obtain this information. But I don’t want to make you have to go to another source, other than this one, right now, because I know that it would be frustrating to you to have to leave this dialogue and go somewhere else for an answer that you seek right now.
Neale: Thank you. That would be frustrating.
So I will give you the short answer here, with the stipulation that there is much more to it, much more that can be said, much more to understand at a much deeper level, and with your promise that if you are interested in pursuing this further, you will refer to some of the many other teachers and sources in your world from which this information may be obtained in greater depth and detail.
Neale: Fair enough.
The most immediate way for most human beings to expand their consciousness is to become conscious of the fact that they have a “consciousness.”
Having a Consciousness is something of which you must become consciously aware. This is called self-awareness.
