最近心很沉，以前读不进去的书，最近都能连续几小时心流状态的读下去。这对我来说是极好的事情。放下偏见和个人经验，让新的东西进来，无论是观念还是知识，在这个年龄都是很珍贵的事情。Conversations with God 就算是其中一本。我讨厌解读它的人神神叨叨的夸大其词，也不喜欢作者玄之又玄的在开头费力的persuasion，但有些片段和观点，让我获得了很大的平静。
No one in right mind, least of all God, would tell you, when you are hurt in a relationship, to “”stand aside from it, cause it to mean nothing.” If you are now hurting, it is too late to cause it to mean nothing. Your task now is to decide what it does mean — and to demonstrate that. For in so doing, you choose and become Who You Seek to Be.
And that is why you can never truly, purely fallen in love with your Self. And so I tell you this: be now and forever centered upon your Self. Look to see what you are being, doing, and havin gin any given moment, not what is going on with another. It is not in the action of another, but in your re-action, that your salvation will be found.
The problem is so basic, so simple, and yet so tragically misunderstood: your grandest dream, your highest idea, and your fondest hope has had to do with your beloved other rather than your beloved Self. The test of your relationships has had to do with how well the other lived up to your ideas, and how well you saw yourself living up to his or hers. Yet the only true test has to do with how well you live up to yours. Relationships are sacred because they provide life’s grandest opportunity — indeed, its only opportunity — to create and produce the experience of your highest conceptualization of Self. Relationships fail when you see them as life’s grandest opportunity to create and produce the experience of your highest conceptualization of another.
The greatest challenge as human beings is to Be Here Now, to stop making things up! Stop creating thoughts about a pre-sent moment (a moment you “sent” yourself before you had a thought about it.) Be in the moment. Remember, you sent your Self this moment as a gift. The moment contained the seed of a tremendous truth. It is a truth you wished to remember. Yet when the moment arrived, you immediately began constructing thoughts about it. Instead of being in the moment, you stood outside the moment and judged it. The you re-acted. That is, you acted as you did once before.
If you spend your time trying to figure out what’s “best” for you, your choices will be cautious, your decisions will take forever, and your journey will be launched on a sea of expectations. If you are not careful, you will drown in your expectations.
The act of wanting a thing pushes it away from us. Because thoughts are creative, and the thought of wanting a thing is a statement tot eh universe – a declaration of a truth – which the universe then produces in my reality. The moment you say “I want” something, the universe says “Indeed you do”. You will never get anything you want if you it badly enough. The act of wanting a thing pushes it away from us. Because thoughts are creative, and the thought of wanting a thing is a statement to the universe – a declaration of a truth – which the universe then produces in my reality. That’s how it works. The moment you say “I want” something, the universe says “Indeed you do” and gives you that precise experience – the experience of “wanting” it.
