請原諒。

Pardon

1/7

如果你知道自己有某些缺點可能會阻礙你達成目標,或認為自己缺乏必要的知識與技能,那就坦然接受。接受原本的自己,允許自己有不足的地方。當你學著不隱藏自己的缺點,而是正視它們時,便能舒緩壓力,獲得內心的平和。若你試圖掩蓋不足,它們必會在關鍵時刻暴露無遺。

If you know you have shortcomings that could hinder you from achieving your goal or think that you lack the necessary knowledge and skills accept it. Accept yourself just the way you are. Allow yourself the luxury of having shortcomings and lacking the necessary qualities. This will help and give you a sense of relief and inner calm. If you try to hide the fact that you lack the necessary qualities and conceal your shortcomings they will undoubtedly show themselves at a critical moment.


2/7

缺乏自我接納總會以障礙形式顯現。生活中的障礙往往是我們自創的:首先,感到內疚或者不夠好,會產生過剩潛能 (Exceed potential),進而引發並加劇平衡力量 (Balanced forces) 的反撲;其次,外在意圖 (Outer intention) 終究會讓你的恐懼成真。你試圖壓抑的一切,終將融入那預設的劇本中。例如,總有人會提出你最怕回答的問題,或者要求你展示你不擅長的技能;而更糟糕的是,在關鍵時刻,你會因緊張而僵住或陷入停頓。

Lack of self-acceptance will always manifest in the form of obstacles. We create the obstacles in our lives ourselves: firstly, feeling guilty or inadequate creates excess potential and balanced forces then exacerbate the situation; secondly, outer intention inevitably realises your fears. Anything you try to block out will become part of the script. For example, someone will always ask you the one question you fear to answer or request that you demonstrate the one thing you do not know how to do. But worst of all, you will be overcome with tension or freeze up at the critical moment.


3/7

你的自由能量究竟流向何處?它被用來支撐你賦予缺點過分「重要性」(Importance) 的過剩潛能,對抗平衡力量 (Balanced forces),以及應對那些即將失控的局面。你對自己的缺陷賦予的「重要性」(Importance) 越重,平衡力量的抵抗也會越強;你越緊握控制權,替代流 (Alternatives flow) 對你的壓力也就越大,因為它從不打算停下來。最終,內在意圖 (Intention) 的能量將被耗盡,在這種狀態下,你能指望自己還有什麼作為呢?

Where does your free energy go? Your free energy is spent on supporting the excess potential of importance, on battling with balanced forces and managing situations that are fast threatening to roll out of control. The more importance you attribute to your shortcomings the more insistent the resistance of balanced forces will be. The tighter your grip of control, the stronger the pressure exerted by the alternatives flow, because it has no intention of stopping. Eventually, the energy of intention is exhausted. What would you expect to be capable of in this condition?


4/7

試想若你無論走到哪裡都必須攜帶一隻小豬,那小豬將不停尖叫、奮力掙脫,而你必須不斷緊抱,努力壓制它的吵鬧。當你最終放手時,一種無比輕盈與釋然的感覺會立刻襲來;曾經你所花費在握緊那不斷尖叫的小東西上的能量,如今都能轉而投入到其他更有意義的事物中。

Imagine if you had to carry a piglet around with you wherever you went. The piglet would be squealing, trying to wriggle free and you would constantly be trying to keep it tucked tightly under your arm and somehow quieten it down. Then you would finally let the piglet go and immediately feel free and light with relief. The energy you had been spending holding on to the squeaker would now be entirely at your disposal to channel into other things.


5/7

小豬的比喻其實並非那麼牽強。你很難完全掩藏自己的缺陷,因此最好集中精力發揮你的長處。你會親身體會到,當你在需要發揮最佳狀態的場合——無論是面試、考試、表演、比賽,甚至是一場約會——事先放下並接受自己的不足,將使你感受到前所未有的自在與輕鬆。卸下內在「重要性」(Importance) 的披風,寬恕(即赦免)自己的不足,你將發覺那沉重的負擔瞬間消失,而內在意圖 (Intention) 的能量也隨之釋放,使你煥然一新。

The piglet comparison is not as obtuse as it might seem. It is unlikely that you will be able to hide your shortcomings and so it is better to concentrate on your strengths. You will see for yourself how much freer and at ease you feel if you let go and accept your shortcomings before an event where you have to be at your best. It may be an interview, an exam, a performance, a contest, or even a romantic date. Take off your cloak of inner importance. Give yourself pardon (in the sense of absolution) for your shortcomings and you will feel as if a huge weight has been lifted from your shoulders as the excess potential disappears and the energy of intention is released.


6/7

與自身缺陷作鬥爭屬於內在意圖 (Intention) 的作用,就像蒼蠅不停撞擊玻璃窗一樣;相對而言,消除過剩潛能 (Exceed potential) 並釋放能量,會讓你獲得巨大的優勢。(Note: 用比喻形容內在衝突與轉變帶來的益處)

The battle with your own shortcomings is the work of inner intention. It is the work of the fly beating itself against the window pane. In contrast, eliminating excess potential and freeing up energy gives you a huge advantage.


7/7

那句「眼所懼怕,手便行動」蘊含著一點真理。究竟哪一種更好:在疑惑中受苦、陷入困惑、滿口欲望並斷斷續續地掩飾弱點,還是乾脆卸下沉重包袱,從容地完成那純淨意圖 (Intention) 的工作?如果你無法完全放下「重要性」(Importance),至少應該放鬆對掌控的執著,從憂慮轉向行動。只管開始去做,不論起初是否有效,允許自己犯錯;在行動中,過剩的「重要性」(Importance) 潛能會自然消散,內在意圖 (Intention) 的能量也隨之釋放,最後一切都會迎刃而解。

There is a grain of truth in the saying: “What the eye fears, the hands do”. What is better, to be tortured by doubt, to wallow in your hang ups, to lick your lips in desire and fitfully conceal your weaknesses or to simply shake off the baggage and calmly fulfil the work of purified intention? If you cannot drop importance, you must at least leg go of the grip of control and shift from worrying to taking action. Just begin the process of doing, in whatever way you can. It does not matter whether your actions are effective initially or not. Allow yourself to act badly. The potential of importance will be dissipated in the course of action; the energy of intention will be released and everything will work out fine.
