正義是人性固有的珍貴本質。幾千年來全球各地的人們確實都不斷在為社會的公平正義,做出各種偉大的犧牲和努力,但是,為何今日世界仍舊處處缺乏正義?
為何人類社會總是無法常態穩定地達到正義?難道,有可能我們對「什麼是正義」從沒有真正地正視+全貌地了解?
聽神談【什麼是「正義」(Justice)?】
在宇宙中其他維度的高度演化生命的文化中,沒有像「犯罪和懲罰」這樣的東西(There is no such thing as “crime and punishment” in the culture of Highly Evolved Beings from the Other Dimension.)。
在那裡,沒有人犯「罪」,因為每個人都知道他們「全是一體的」,而對另一個生命體(entity)的攻擊冒犯即是對自己的攻擊冒犯。
因此,並不需要你們所謂的「正義」的東西。所謂「正義」的概念是被更深入地理解為你們所謂的「適當的正確行動」(The concept of “justice” is more deeply understood as what you would call Right Action.)。
尼爾:在人類的社會裡當然有犯罪行為。而且在每一個犯罪行為的情況下,正義並不總是被做出。但是,我們社會中的大多數人會告訴自己說,至少他們可以安心地知道,在死後的生活裡會有正義。會有審判和永遠的懲罰!
你們將必須在這裡拿定主意。你們想要的是一個無條件的愛的神,還是一個會審判、譴責、懲罰的神?
尼爾:我知道,我知道。這一切都很混亂。我們都非常…困惑。我們不要你的審判,但我們又確實需要那樣。我們不要你的懲罰,但如果沒有它們,我們感到失落。而當你說,正如你在我們已完成的每一部對話中所說的「我永遠不會懲罰你們」,我們無法相信那樣——而且我們中的一些人幾乎對此感到憤怒。因為如果你不去審判和懲罰我們,有什麼會讓我們走上正直又狹窄的路呢?如果上天沒有「正義」,誰能夠消除地球上所有不公不義的事情呢?
為什麼你會指望上天來糾正你們稱為「不公不義」的事情?清潔的、清涼提神的雨水不是從上天掉下來的嗎?
尼爾:是啊。
我告訴你:雨水落在公正和不公正的地方是相同的(the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike)。
尼爾:但是耶和華說「復仇在我」( “Vengeance is mine”註:聖經中常譯為「伸冤在我」)又怎麼解釋呢?
我從沒有說過那樣的話。你們之中的一個人捏造出那句話,而其餘的人相信了。(I never said that. One of you made that up, and the rest of you believed it.)
「正義」不是「你以某種方式行事後所經驗到」的後果反應,而是一種「因為你以某種方式去做」的自發行動, (“Justice” is not something you experience after you act a certain way, but because you act a certain way)。
正義是一種行動,不是「對某行為的懲罰」而做出的作為 (Justice is an act, not punishment for an act.)。一個覺醒的物種會了解這一點。
尼爾:我懂了,我們社會的問題在於:我們是在發生「不公不義」的事情後尋求「正義」,而不是起初就透過每一個人的選擇和行動,在每個案件中「做出正義的作為」。
一語道破!你已準確地把榔頭打在釘子頭上了!正義是一種(自然且主動採取的)行動,不是一種(因經驗到或被迫才做出的)反應(Justice is an action, not a reaction.)。
(註:換句話說,除了辛苦地「做(do)」出正義的行為外,您是否會選擇「being(成為)」正義?您是否有興趣想真正了解「Being創造」的神奇力量?)
摘自《與神對話 4》第18章
There is no such thing as “crime and punishment” in the culture of Highly Evolved Beings from the Other Dimension.
No one commits a “crime”, because everyone understands that they are All One, and that an offence against another entity is an offence against the Self.
So there is no need for what you call “justice”. The concept of “justice” is more deeply understood as what you would call Right Action.
Neale: In human society there is crime, of course. And justice is not always done in every case when a crime is committed. But the majority in our society at least tell themselves they can have the comfort of knowing that there will be justice in the hereafter. Judgement and everlasting punishment!
You’re going to have to make up your mind here. Do you want an unconditionally loving God, or a judging, condemning, punishing God.
Neale: I know, I know. It’s all very confusing. We’re all very . . . complex. We don’t want your judgements, but we do. We don’t want your punishments, yet we feel lost without them. And when you say, as you’ve done consistently in every conversation we’ve ever had, “I will never punish you,” we cannot believe that – and some of us almost become angry about it. Because if you’re not going to judge and punish us, what will keep us walking the straight and narrow? And if there’s no “justice” in heaven, who will undo all the injustice on Earth?
Why are you counting on heaven to correct what you call “injustice”? Does not the refreshing, cleansing rain fall from the heavens?
Neale: Yes.
And I tell you this: the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike.
Neale: But what about, “Vengeance is mine,” sayeth the Lord?
I never said that. One of you made that up, and the rest of you believed it.
“Justice” is not something you experience after you act a certain way, but because you act a certain way.
Justice is an act, not punishment for an act. An awakened species understands this.
Neale: I see that the problem with our society is that we seek “justice” after an “injustice” has occurred, rather than “doing justice” in every single case, through the choices and actions of every single human being, in the first place.
Right on the head! You’ve hit the nail right on the head! Justice is an action, not a reaction.
