神並非一個單一的超級生命體(Super Being)，而是稱為生命的非凡特殊歷程。除了「生命」和「歷程」外，還有一個字也是可以與神互換的，就是「改變」 (“Change”) 。

 

 

我們並沒在重新定義(redefine)神，事實上，我們是第一次在充分地定義神(fully defining God for the first time)。

 

 

我們在擴充神的定義，甚至包括更多微妙的細微差別，那將讓人類心智更深刻地了解神的本質(nature) ───神的性格特質(character)，如果你喜歡這樣稱呼的話───以便人們在更多地方看見神性，因而療癒人類的分離和疏遠感，進而擁抱與神的一體感。

 

 

「需要」並不存在。它是個幻覺。不過，就人類說「人類希望達到的」而言，並就人類宣稱「人類希望去體驗的」而言，這對神的定義的擴展，會是有用且有幫助的。

 

 

記得，我先前說過，神是那恆常不變地臨在和恆常不變地改變的東西，祂將自己適應於每一刻，以便神可在那一刻被了解，在那一刻被擁抱，在那一刻被體驗，並且在那一刻被表達。(God is that which is Constantly Present and Constantly Changing, suiting Itself to each moment, so that God may be understood in that moment, embraced in that moment, experienced in that moment, and expressed in that moment.)

 

我也說過「神」與「生命」這兩個字，是可以互換的。現在，我想要告訴你的是，生命是一個改變的過程(Life is a process of Change.) 。這就是為什麼「神」與「改變」是同義字的原因。

 

然而，在此，你們的理解裡又來了另一個轉變。昨日之神曾被說是那個「從不改變的東西」，甚至被稱為「不動的動者」。所以，這裡是昨日之神和今日之神之間，第六個重要的區別：

 

神永遠在改變。(God is ever changing.)

 

尼爾：你真的要將這整 個認知模式───我們對神所認知的每件事───全都丟棄，是這樣嗎？

 

並非「丟棄」，而是擴展。因為你們有個侷限的覺知(limited awareness)，現在，該是擴展你們覺知的時候了。

 

 

 

Tomorrow’s God is not a singular Super Being, but the extraordinary process called Life. Because there is another word that is interchangeable with God, and that is “Change.”

 

 

We are not redefining God, we are actually fully defining God for the first time.

 

 

We are expanding that definition to include ever more subtle nuances that will allow the human mind to more deeply understand the nature of God—God’s character, if you please—thus to see Divinity in more places, so to heal its sense of separation and estrangement, and to embrace its unity with Deity.

 

 

“Need” does not exist. It is an illusion. Given where humanity says it wishes to go, however, and given what it claims it wishes to experience, this expansion of its definition of God would be useful and beneficial. 

 

Now, I said earlier that God is that which is Constantly Present and Constantly Changing, suiting Itself to each moment, so that God may be understood in that mo- ment, embraced in that moment, experienced in that moment, and expressed in that moment. I also said that the words “God” and “Life” were interchangeable. And now what I want to tell you is that Life is a process of Change. This is why the words “God” and “Change” are synonymous. 

 

Here, then, comes another shift in your understanding. Yesterday’s God was said to be that which never changes. That God has even been called the Unmoved Mover. So here is the Sixth Important Difference between Yesterday’s God and Tomorrow’s God:  

 

 

 

Not “thrown out,” expanded. You have had a limited awareness. It is time to expand your awareness.
