人生中,內在的寂寞會產生我們外在生活中的各種孤獨感。上週那篇【如何終止「寂寞」?】提到我們可以經由與神交往融洽的一體感來改變內在的實相,而改變我們外在的經驗,終止寂寞。這篇是從「更了解關係(Relationships)的本質、更明白生命的本質」的角度在啟發我們,幫助我們自己打通任督二脈,讓自己在生活中不再孤獨寂寞!
聽神談【如何終止生活中的孤獨感?】
直到你結束你人生內在的寂寞,你永遠不會結束你生活中的孤獨感。
You can never end the loneliness in your life until you end the loneliness within your life.
如果你內心感到孤單、如果你內心覺得不完整,你會終其一生在你自己的外面尋覓,試圖找到那無法找到的東西。即使一再經驗這樣的戲碼,你招來的可能還是一連串不持久的關係。
由於你不明白你在那裡做什麼,所以關係無法持久。你是在試圖「找到」滿足,而非「創造」滿足;你是在試圖找到喜悅,而非創造喜悅;你是在試圖找到完整,而非創造完整。
因為你相信,關係是一個「發現」的過程。
然而它並不是,它是一個「創造」的過程。生命也可說是同樣的過程。
你們創造關係是為了要體驗內心裡你是誰(to experience who you are within)。
你們不需要一個外在於你自己的關係。而對你們有益的是,在你們內心有個與神的關係。
摘自《走出靈性文盲》第6章
You can never end the loneliness in your life until you end the loneliness within your life.
If you feel alone within, if you feel incomplete inside yourself, you will search outside yourself for the rest of your life to find that which cannot be found. And, after experiencing this over and over, you could wind up with a series of relationships that do not last.
The relationships don’t last because you do not understand what you are doing there. You are trying to find fulfillment rather than create fulfillment. You are trying to find joy rather than create joy. You are trying to find completion rather than create completion.
You believe that relationship is a process of discovery, and it is not. It is a process of creation. The same thing can be said about Life.
You create relationships in order to experience who you are within.
You do not need a relationship outside yourself.
It is beneficial to have a relationship with me, inside yourself.
