結束戰鬥

Ending the Battle

「自由選擇」(Choice) 的真正自由來自一個極為簡單的事實：實現目標不需要通過戰鬥。你只需擁有「想擁有」的意志。一旦你允許自己擁有，就能平靜地一邁一腳地朝目標前進。而擺錘 (Pendulum) 則會試圖強加另一種情形，迫使你為目標而戰，向世界乃至你自己宣戰。擺錘 (Pendulum) 讓你相信只有改變自己，才能達到理想；一旦你為此而改變，就又會被迫加入爭奪陽光的鬥爭。這一切的背後，唯一動機就是耗盡你的能量。當你與自己交戰時，你就把能量交由擺錘 (Pendulum)；同樣，當你參與外界的戰鬥時，情況亦是如此。(Note: 此段揭示內部衝突如何耗費個人能量)

The freedom of choice lies in one incredibly simple fact. There is no need to fight to achieve your goal. All you need is the will to have. As soon as you allow yourself to have you can begin the process of calmly placing one foot in front of the other in the direction of your goal. Pendulums will impose a different scenario forcing you to fight for your goal, declaring war on the world and yourself. Pendulums recommend starting with yourself. They make you believe that you are not perfect and so will not achieve your goal until you change. Once you have changed, then you must join the battle for a place in the sun. There is only one motivation behind this scenario which is to drain the victim’s energy. By battling with yourself you give your energy to the pendulum and you do just the same when you join the battle against the outside world.

在這個語境下，「戰鬥」意味著持續的緊張、鬥爭與紀律。你必須隨時準備迎戰，因為真正的戰士隱約明白，世界上某處存在著自由。然而，戰士們的錯誤在於他們認為必須為自由戰鬥，將他們的一生都投入戰鬥，總把真正的戰鬥推延到後來。他們不相信你可以輕易奪取自由，而是自我及向他人宣稱，這是一項極具挑戰、耗時費力的任務。(Note: 強調不必無止境戰鬥以爭取自由)

The word battle in this context presupposes constant tension, struggle and discipline. You have to be ever ready for battle, as warriors are who vaguely understand that somewhere in the world there is freedom. The mistake of the warrior is that they think they have to fight for their freedom. They spend their lives at war always putting off their main fight until later. Warriors do not believe that you can just walk up and take your freedom. They tell themselves and others that it is an extremely challenging task requiring years of hard work and sweat.

Transurfing 的朝聖者不會捲入爭取自由的戰鬥，因為他們知道自由早已屬於自己。沒有人可以強迫你戰鬥，但如果你充滿了內在與外在的「重要性」(Importance)，那你實際上別無選擇。在 Transurfing 中，最接近戰鬥的便是追求無可挑剔行動的意圖，而這並非考驗策略效率與紀律，而是考驗你是否具有充分的有意識覺察。(Note: 此段強調内在覺察的重要性)

The Transurfing Pilgrim does not take get involved in the fight for freedom because they know that freedom is already theirs. No-one can force you to fight and yet if you are filled with inner and outer importance you really do not have any other choice. The closest thing to battle in Transurfing is the intention to act impeccably but rather then requiring tactical efficiency and discipline it requires conscious awareness.

如果你覺得難以接受並允許自己擁有所需，你或許會一再拖延這個想法。但拖延能持續多久呢？這種拖延的繩索可能纏繞你一生。將此事拖到下一次，只會使當下的生活淪為彩排，等待著某個更美好的未來。人們總是不滿現狀，總以為情況很快會改善；然而，抱持這種態度，所謂的美好未來永遠只會若隱若現地在你前方徘徊，恰似試圖追上落日，終究徒勞無功。(Note: 此段強調活在當下，不要總以未來為藉口拖延現實行動)

If you find it difficult to just claim and allow yourself the idea of having you may put it off to return to later. But for how long? The yarn of postponement can go on all your life. Putting it off until the next time makes life in the present moment a mere dress rehearsal for some better future. People are always unsatisfied by the present moment and console themselves with the hope that things will soon improve. With this attitude the better future will never come. It will always hover just in front of you for you to chase after, and it will be just the same as trying to catch up with the setting sun.

認為自己還有充裕時間只是一種錯覺。你或許會把整個人生都浪費在等待那個更美好的未來上。俗話說：「沒有什麼比臨時更持久」，但真相卻是：沒有時間等待。不要空等未來，而要把未來融入當下，允許自己在此時此刻擁有所需。這並不意味著你的目標會立即實現，我們所談的「想擁有」的意志 (Intention) 與持續與自我作戰截然不同，而「想擁有」的意志比單單的行動更加強大。(Note: 此段強調把握當下以實現目標的重要)

The idea that you still have plenty of time is an illusion. You can spend your entire life in expectation of a better future. There is the saying; “There is nothing more permanent than the temporary”. In reality there is no time to wait. Do not wait for the future but insert it into the current moment. Allow yourself to have, here and now. That does not mean that your goal will be realized instantly. We are talking about will, i.e. the intention to have in contradistinction to the ongoing battle with the self. The will to have is infinitely more powerful than the will to act.

如果你一生都在為爭奪一席之地而奮鬥，那究竟換來了什麼成果？你是否必須像被迫勞動般拖著身軀去上那乏味的工作或上大學，而同時又有人悠然自得地在滑雪勝地度假，或在海邊享受陽光？也許他們贏得了這場戰鬥，從而能真正享受生活。(Note: 此段提出質疑，反思長久奮鬥的真實效果)

If you have spent your whole life taking part in the battle for a place in the sun, how far has it got you? Did you have to drag yourself to your boring job or to college as if to forced labour whilst someone else was relaxing as a ski resort or warming themselves in the sunshine by the ocean? Perhaps they won their battle and are now able to enjoy life?

大多數參與這場爭奪的人，即使一輩子節儉下來，也無法負擔前往豪華假期的開銷；若你能夠每年至少享受幾天的歡樂，那已是一大成就。然而，往往當你終於到了假期，你卻碰上天氣惡劣、纜車故障，或是一連串你無從預料的問題。即便一切順暢，你腦海中依然會盤旋著節約的念頭，讓你時刻記得那些辛苦賺來的錢，很快假期便結束，而你又得回到那灰色無趣的工作生活中。(Note: 表達對假期現實與理想之間落差的無奈)

The majority of people who participate in the battle would not be able to afford to go to a ski resort even if they saved up for it their whole life and if you can afford to give yourself a few days pleasure once a year then that is always an achievement. But what often happens is you arrive and the weather is bad or the ski lift is broken or you have to deal with other problems you could not have foreseen. Even if everything goes well, the thought will still be in your mind that you should be economical and you will remember how hard you worked to earn the money to pay for these few days of holiday which is so quickly coming to an end. You will have had a nice time in principle but then you will have to return to the grey days of working life and slave away again.

即使你贏得了戰鬥、獲得了假期，心中偶爾仍會浮現那抹陰影。你堅信，必須長時間辛苦工作才能換來短暫的歡愉，你還不肯真正放下對擁有的執著。(Note: 探討工作與假期間的不平衡感)

You won the battle and earned a holiday and yet from time to time a dark shadow creeps into your thoughts. You are convinced that you have to work long and hard to earn just a short time of pleasure. You are not ready to totally give yourself permission to have.

那些真正允許自己擁有所需的人，根本不會參與這場爭鬥，他們忙於享受生活。例如，上週一對幸運的情侶在瑞士的滑雪勝地度假，盡情歡樂。當然，所有歡樂終究會結束，但對不同的人來說，結束的方式各異。如今，這對情侶正爭論下一次該去哪裡——他希望前往澳洲阿爾卑斯山，而她則傾向於法國阿爾卑斯山。這幕情景或許讓你聯想到某部表面輕浮的肥皂劇，但對他們而言，這卻事關重大。這種感知上的差異正源於彼此對「想擁有」的意志 (Intention) 的程度不同。你可能還需要苦熬一年才能迎來假期，而這對情侶卻期盼著一週後就能再享受假期。(Note: 描述對享受假期態度的差異)

Those who give themselves permission to have do not take part in the battle. They are too busy. For example, a lucky couple were taking a break as a ski resort in Switzerland last week. They had a ball. All balls eventually come to an end but in different ways for different people. Now the couple is arguing about where to go next. He wants to go to the Australian Alps but she would rather go to the French Alps. The whole scene may remind you of some superficial soap opera, but for the couple it is more than a serious matter. The difference in perception is caused by different levels of willingness to have. You will trudge away for another year until you have a holiday whereas the couple expect to have their next holiday in a week’s time.

理性的一面可能會抱怨道：「但怎麼可能呢？他們天生就擁有千萬財富，而我卻得靠打拼！我哪裡來那麼多錢？」我們已多次強調，不必去多想金錢的問題。當你結束了與自我爭鬥，並允許自己擁有所需時，外在意圖 (Outer intention) 自會為你提供一切。我無法立即在此證明，但你可以親自試一試——別再拖延，現在就行動，從此刻起無條件地允許自己擁有所需。如果你不期望立刻見效，並持續讓自己擁有所需，終有一天會發生某些令人稱奇的事。那些生來富有的人，早就擁有「想擁有」的意志，而你還得苦苦摸索「幻燈片] (Slide) 的方法。心智總會擔憂目標的真實性和達成手段，但那條充滿爭鬥的道路只會讓你永無所得。請專注培養「想擁有」的意志，而非僅僅追逐金錢。(Note: 強調轉變目標與金錢觀念的重要)

The rational mind may be upset protesting: “But how can that be, after all, they were born with their millions whereas I have to earn my money! Where would I get the money?” How many times have we already said, that you do not have to think about the money. When you end the battle and give yourself permission to have outer intention will a way of giving you what you need. I cannot prove this to you right here and now but you can test the principle for yourself and do not try it, just do it and not tomorrow but today. Allow yourself to have from this moment onwards, unconditionally and unreservedly and not occasionally but all the time. If you do not expect instant results and continue to allow yourself to have one fine day something will happen that others will want to call a miracle. Those who are born with millions are already imbued with the will to have. They do not even have to think about it whereas you will have to work with slides. The mind will worry about how realistic the goal is and the means to achieve it, but this is the path of battle that leads nowhere. If you take this path you will never earn enough money. Earn the will to have, not the money.

如果你能全心全意地將目標視作己得，你的門扉 (Goals and doors) 自會打開，所有達成手段也會隨之到位。這種徹底自由的感覺令人目眩神迷；你完全可以選擇不接受這自由，這就是你的「自由選擇」(Choice)。沒什麼比逃避這一切，繼續辛苦奮鬥更簡單。每個人都做出自己的選擇，並獲得他們願意接受的東西。你的選擇既是不變的法則，也塑造著你自己的現實。(Note: 此段闡述自由選擇的力量與其不可避免性)

If you concentrate on the goal as if you had already achieved it your doors will open and the means will take care of themselves. The freedom of it all is enough to make your head spin. You may choose not to accept this freedom. It is your choice. Nothing would be easier than to say that this is all rubbish and continue toiling away the rest of your life. Everyone makes their choice and receives what they are willing to have. Your choice is immutable law and with it you shape your own reality.

在替代空間 (Alternatives space) 中，自由選擇 (Choice) 大致呈現這樣的情況：人們走進超市，店員問道：「您想要什麼？」一位顧客回答：「我想成為娛樂圈的明星。」店員接著說：「沒問題，這裡有一款特別為您準備的產品：世界知名、財富與光芒兼具！要不要試試？」顧客吃驚地說：「這……怎麼說呢？真正成功的人寥寥無幾，那些被選中的人擁有獨特才華，而我只是普普通通的平凡人。」店員聳了聳肩回答：「才華又有何關係？這就是您的產品，拿去吧！」顧客又說：「娛樂圈確實難混，彷彿一片叢林，到處都是鯊魚……」店員立刻說：「好吧，這裡有一隻巨鯊助你一臂之力，拿走吧，絕不會讓你後悔。」隨後顧客驚嘆道：「娛樂圈明星擁有那麼奢華的住宅、名車和頂級社交圈……這一切真能屬於我？我簡直難以置信！」店員卻淡淡地說：「哦，那就太可惜了，恐怕幫不上忙。」然後把那件貨品放回了貨架上。(Note: 以超市選購作比喻，揭示自由選擇過程的荒謬與矛盾)

Choice in the alternatives space takes place roughly in the following way: people wander into a supermarket where they are asked: “What would you like?” One customer replies: I would like to become a star in show business. The shop assistant replies: “No Problem. Here is a great version, especially for you. World fame, wealth, shine! Will you take it?” Surprised the customer says: “Well, how can I put this…It is not that easy. Only a handful ever really make it, and the chosen few have unique talents whereas I am just your average Jo blogs.” The shop assistant shrugs their shoulders: “What has talent got to do with it. Here’s your item. Take it!” The customer then says: “It is really hard to get into show business. It is a bit of a jungle, a world full of sharks..” The shop assistant comes back with: “Ok, so here’s a massive shark to help you make it. Take it, you will not regret it.” The customer replies: “The stars of show business have such luxurious homes, fancy cars, top society…could all that really be mine. I can hardly believe it”, at which point the shop assistant says: “Oh well, it is a shame of course. I do not think we can help you”, and puts the item back on the shelf.

同樣地，一個人可能會小心翼翼地問另一個人：「你知道怎麼搭乘商業飛機嗎？」對方回答：「當然，只需坐在座位上，繫好安全帶，飛機便會飛上天。」當你開始接受實現目標僅只是「自由選擇」(Choice) 的問題時，你會逐漸發現，那位在替代空間 (Alternatives space) 中疑慮重重的顧客實在荒謬——一切僅取決於是否有意願擁有所需，僅此而已。(Note: 表現出目標實現的簡單性)

In the same way a person might cautiously ask another: “Do you know how to fly on a commercial airliner?” “Of course”, the other replies, “I simply sit in the seat, fasten my seat-belt and the aeroplane lifts up into the air.” As soon as you allow for the idea that achieving the goal is simply a matter of choice you will begin to feel just how absurd the customer’s concerns are in the alternatives space shop. It is just a matter of being willing to have. That is all.

你可能會陷入與自己為「想擁有」的意志內鬥的陷阱。無論如何，都不要強迫自己去允許自己擁有所需，也勿逼迫自己描繪「幻燈片] (Slide) 的具體圖景。你無需過度推動或給自己施壓，否則這又會變成一場戰鬥。只需享受那些激動人心的想法，放下「重要性」(Importance) ，結束內在鬥爭。戰鬥無助於任何成就，因為四周的一切都被賦予了過度的「重要性」(Importance)，你無法同時在追求陽光下的地位 (Goals and doors) 的同時，讓自己擁有所需。(Note: 提醒不要與自我內鬥，放下過度的執著)

You might fall into the trap of battling with yourself for the will to have. Whatever you do, do not force yourself to allow yourself to have. Do not force yourself to picture the target slide. You should not need to push yourself. Do not pressure yourself or tense up over it for that again makes it a battle. Simply take pleasure in having exciting thoughts. Abandon importance and end the battle. Nothing is achieved by battling. The reason you continue battling is because everything around you has been elevated in importance. You cannot allow yourself to have at the same time as fighting ardently for your place in the sun.

或許你已堅定自信，相信自己必能獲得屬於你的，並熱情地告訴自己一切皆由個人「自由選擇」(Choice) 決定。然而，強行行動往往會產生過剩潛能 (Exceed potential) 。你需要的是那種無憂無慮、輕鬆自在的決心，而非緊張與壓迫。(Note: 強調輕鬆心態的重要性)

You may be resolute and full of confidence that you will have what is yours and are enthusiastically convincing yourself that it is all down to your personal choice. Yet to act forcefully entails creating excess potential. What is required is more like a carefree, light-hearted resolve.

放鬆下來，鬆開那握緊的控制，並清楚地認識到，你正一步步獲取屬於你的東西。你不必像買報紙那樣使勁鼓勵自己；如果沒有你想要的，也只需轉向其他選擇。松開那致命的緊握。(Note: 鼓勵放下對小事的過度執著)

Relax, let go your grip of control and just be aware of the fact that you are taking what is yours. You do not need to drum up momentum and enthusiasm to go to buy a paper. If they do not have the paper you want you just walk to other newsagents. Release your deadly grip.

試著放鬆自己的握持，但往往越用力，反而握得更緊。任何形式的努力或勤奮只會加深過剩潛能 (Exceed potential) 的生成，而「重要性」(Importance) 正是促使你努力與緊握的根本原因。如果你與這種執著不斷抗爭，根本無法放寬。只要你放下「重要性」(Importance)，那份握持自然會慢慢放鬆。(Note: 強調放下執著，讓一切順其自然)

By trying to release your grip it becomes even tighter. Any kind of diligence or effort only aggravates excess potential. Importance is the underlying cause of effort and compulsive grip. You cannot relax the grip if you are battling with it. Abandon importance and the grip will relax of its own accord.

當你降低「重要性」(Importance) 時，原本指示你行動方向的那支箭便會從內在意圖 (Intention) 的範疇轉向外在意圖 (Outer intention) 的領域。所有你所施加的壓力都源自於「重要性」(Importance)；當你嘗試在某狀況上施壓時，你的行動實際上是受內在意圖 (Intention) 所驅使。固然，克服障礙需要意志力，但我們都知道，障礙正是由「重要性」(Importance) 產生；而當你降低「重要性」(Importance) 時，障礙便會瓦解，意志力也因此不再必要。當「重要性」(Importance) 消失，推進目標的需求就會轉化為單純的「想擁有」的意志，而後外在意圖 (Outer intention) 自會發揮作用。(Note: 說明降低「重要性」如何讓目標自然而然實現)

Reducing importance shifts the arrow that indicates the direction of intention from the inner intention zone to the outer intention zone. Any pressure that is applied is the result of importance. When you try to put pressure on a situation your actions are directed by inner intention. Will power is essential in overcoming obstacles but as we now know, obstacles are born of importance. Obstacles disintegrate the moment you reduce importance and will power is no longer required. When importance disappears the need to push for your goals transforms into the will to have and then outer intention sets in.

你無需贏得選擇的權利——你早已擁有它。如果你試圖以堅決的意志爭取這權利，最終只會讓你失望。充滿決心與活力往往意味著你又在那致命的握持中掙扎。(Note: 強調自我放下的重要，避免強求)

You do not have to win the right to choose. You already have it. If you feel filled with decisiveness to win your right to choose, prepare to be disappointed. If you are filled with decisiveness and vigour you again hold the deadly grip.

平衡力量 (Balanced forces) 會迅速撲滅你那燃燒著的餘燼，而擺錘 (Pendulum) 一旦察覺到你的「重要性」(Importance)，便會馬上試圖挑釁你。你將親眼見證，事情就是這樣運作的。(Note: 說明平衡力量如何解除你的內在火焰，同時擺錘如何利用你的「重要性」來激發挑釁)

Balanced forces will quickly cool your smouldering coals. And pendulums, having sensed your importance will immediately try to provoke you. You will see for yourself that this is how it works.

別讓那些未能冷靜獲得「想擁有」意志 (the will to have) 的嘗試，使你憂心忡忡。人們通常習慣將精力投向供養擺錘 (Pendulum) 而非實現自己的目標。最終，你會學會分辨果斷與真正的意志 ——「想擁有」的意志是一種冷靜且無情緒波動、毫不含糊的決心，去取得無可爭議地屬於你的東西。試想一句「我充滿果斷，準備從信箱裡取郵件」，是不是聽起來有點奇怪？你必須像從信箱中取信那樣，平靜而自然地行使你的「自由選擇」(Choice) 權利。(Note: 強調正確的「想擁有」意志應與平靜的行動相結合)

Do not let unsuccessful attempts to acquire dispassionate will worry or upset you. People are very used to channelling their energy not so much towards their goals as towards the feed for pendulums. Eventually, you will learn to differentiate between decisiveness and will. The will to have is the dispassionate, unemotional intention to take what is unquestionably yours. Does not it sound weird to say: “I am absolutely full of decisiveness to get the post from the letter- box”? You must exercise your right to choose just as calmly and uninsistently as you would retrieve your post from the letter box.

人生中，我們總是要面對考試、競賽與種種個人評估，但「想擁有」的意志 (the will to have) 只依賴於你自己——你是自己的檢驗者。你給自己的評價往往反映出你自認無能或覺得目標不切實際，這些習慣性反應會自動浮現。你所需要做的，是允許自己擁有眼前所發生的一切。雖然這聽來有些陌生，但何不勇敢嘗試？讓你的擁有心飛向藍天，就像牛頓的蘋果可以墜地，而你的卻可以落向天空。也許你急切渴望擁有那股意志，但同時要拋開過度慾望。慾望太多只會成為阻礙，放手吧，因為你最終會得到你本就屬於你的東西，平靜地接受它，而非執著於「如果我想要，問題在哪裡？我一定會得到」的念頭。(Note: 鼓勵放下內在的慾望與懷疑，接受屬於自己的東西)

In life people are always having to take tests, exams, take part in contests, and all sorts of personal assessments but the will to have depends only on yourself. You are your own examiner. Any mark you give yourself is usually a reflection either of the belief that you are incapable and unworthy, or that the goal is unrealistic. People do this automatically, out of habit. All you have to do is allow yourself to have whatever else is happening. It is unfamiliar of course, but why not dare to try it and allow yourself to have. Newton’s and anyone else’s apples may fall to the ground but let yours fall to the sky. You might desperately wish to acquire the will to have but nonetheless, abandon desire. Enough of desiring; you are going to get what you need anyway. Just think about taking what already belongs to you. Take it calmly without demanding or insisting with the thought of: If want it, what is the problem? I will have it”

結束戰鬥

Ending the Battle

選擇的自由在於一個極其簡單的事實。實現目標不需要戰鬥。你所需要的只是擁有的意願。一旦你允許自己擁有，你就可以開始平靜地將一隻腳放在另一隻腳前，朝著你的目標前進。"鐘擺"(Pendulums)將強加一個不同的情景，迫使你為目標而戰，向世界和自己宣戰。"鐘擺"(Pendulums)建議從自己開始。它們讓你相信自己並不完美，因此在改變之前無法實現目標。一旦你改變了，那麼你必須加入爭奪陽光下位置的戰鬥。這一情景背後只有一個動機，就是消耗受害者的能量。通過與自己鬥爭，你將能量給予"鐘擺"(Pendulums)，當你加入對外部世界的戰鬥時，你也是如此。

The freedom of choice lies in one incredibly simple fact. There is no need to fight to achieve your goal. All you need is the will to have. As soon as you allow yourself to have you can begin the process of calmly placing one foot in front of the other in the direction of your goal. Pendulums will impose a different scenario forcing you to fight for your goal, declaring war on the world and yourself. Pendulums recommend starting with yourself. They make you believe that you are not perfect and so will not achieve your goal until you change. Once you have changed, then you must join the battle for a place in the sun. There is only one motivation behind this scenario which is to drain the victim’s energy. By battling with yourself you give your energy to the pendulum and you do just the same when you join the battle against the outside world.

在這種情境下，“戰鬥”一詞預設了持續的緊張、鬥爭和紀律。你必須時刻準備戰鬥，就像那些模糊地理解世界某處存在自由的戰士一樣。戰士的錯誤在於他們認為必須為自由而戰。他們一生都在戰爭中度過，總是將主要戰鬥推遲到以後。戰士們不相信你可以直接走上去獲得自由。他們告訴自己和其他人，這是一項極具挑戰性的任務，需要多年艱苦的工作和汗水。

The word battle in this context presupposes constant tension, struggle and discipline. You have to be ever ready for battle, as warriors are who vaguely understand that somewhere in the world there is freedom. The mistake of the warrior is that they think they have to fight for their freedom. They spend their lives at war always putting off their main fight until later. Warriors do not believe that you can just walk up and take your freedom. They tell themselves and others that it is an extremely challenging task requiring years of hard work and sweat.

Transurfing的朝聖者不參與爭取自由的戰鬥，因為他們知道自由已經是他們的。沒有人能強迫你戰鬥，但如果你充滿內在和外在的重要性(Importance)，你真的沒有其他選擇。Transurfing中最接近戰鬥的東西就是行動的無可挑剔的意圖(Intention)，但它需要的是有意識的覺知，而不是戰術效率和紀律。

The Transurfing Pilgrim does not take get involved in the fight for freedom because they know that freedom is already theirs. No-one can force you to fight and yet if you are filled with inner and outer importance you really do not have any other choice. The closest thing to battle in Transurfing is the intention to act impeccably but rather then requiring tactical efficiency and discipline it requires conscious awareness.

如果你發現很難只是聲稱並允許自己擁有這個想法，你可以將其推遲到以後再回來。但要推遲多久呢？推遲的線索可以持續一生。將其推遲到下一次使當下的生活僅僅成為未來更美好生活的彩排。人們總是對當下不滿意，並用事情很快會改善的希望來安慰自己。抱著這種態度，更美好的未來永遠不會到來。它將永遠在你面前徘徊，讓你追逐，就像試圖追上落日一樣。

If you find it difficult to just claim and allow yourself the idea of having you may put it off to return to later. But for how long? The yarn of postponement can go on all your life. Putting it off until the next time makes life in the present moment a mere dress rehearsal for some better future. People are always unsatisfied by the present moment and console themselves with the hope that things will soon improve. With this attitude the better future will never come. It will always hover just in front of you for you to chase after, and it will be just the same as trying to catch up with the setting sun.

你還有很多時間的想法是一種錯覺。你可以花一生的時間期待一個更美好的未來。有句話說：“沒有什麼比臨時的更永久。”實際上沒有時間等待。不要等待未來，而是將其插入當下。允許自己在此時此地擁有。這並不意味著你的目標會立即實現。我們談論的是意志，即擁有的意圖(Intention)，與持續的自我鬥爭相對立。擁有的意志比行動的意志強大無比。

The idea that you still have plenty of time is an illusion. You can spend your entire life in expectation of a better future. There is the saying; “There is nothing more permanent than the temporary”. In reality there is no time to wait. Do not wait for the future but insert it into the current moment. Allow yourself to have, here and now. That does not mean that your goal will be realized instantly. We are talking about will, i.e. the intention to have in contradistinction to the ongoing battle with the self. The will to have is infinitely more powerful than the will to act.

如果你一生都在參加爭奪陽光下位置的戰鬥，那麼你走了多遠？你是否不得不拖著自己去做無聊的工作或上大學，就像被迫勞動一樣，而其他人則在滑雪勝地放鬆或在海邊的陽光下取暖？也許他們贏得了戰鬥，現在能夠享受生活？

If you have spent your whole life taking part in the battle for a place in the sun, how far has it got you? Did you have to drag yourself to your boring job or to college as if to forced labour whilst someone else was relaxing as a ski resort or warming themselves in the sunshine by the ocean? Perhaps they won their battle and are now able to enjoy life?

大多數參加戰鬥的人即使一輩子存錢也無法負擔去滑雪勝地的費用，如果你每年能給自己幾天的快樂，那已經是一種成就。但經常發生的是，你到了那裡，天氣不好，或者纜車壞了，或者你必須處理其他你無法預見的問題。即使一切順利，你心裡仍會想著應該節約，並記得自己為賺錢支付這幾天的假期而付出了多麼艱辛的努力，而假期很快就要結束了。原則上你會度過一段美好時光，但隨後你將不得不回到工作生活的灰色日子，再次辛苦工作。

The majority of people who participate in the battle would not be able to afford to go to a ski resort even if they saved up for it their whole life and if you can afford to give yourself a few days pleasure once a year then that is always an achievement. But what often happens is you arrive and the weather is bad or the ski lift is broken or you have to deal with other problems you could not have foreseen. Even if everything goes well, the thought will still be in your mind that you should be economical and you will remember how hard you worked to earn the money to pay for these few days of holiday which is so quickly coming to an end. You will have had a nice time in principle but then you will have to return to the grey days of working life and slave away again.

你贏得了戰鬥，賺得了一次假期，但不時會有一個陰影悄悄進入你的思緒。你堅信必須長時間努力工作才能換來短暫的快樂。你還沒有完全準備好給自己擁有的許可。

You won the battle and earned a holiday and yet from time to time a dark shadow creeps into your thoughts. You are convinced that you have to work long and hard to earn just a short time of pleasure. You are not ready to totally give yourself permission to have.

那些給自己擁有許可的人不參加戰鬥。他們太忙了。例如，上週一對幸運的夫婦在瑞士的滑雪勝地度假。他們玩得很開心。所有的派對最終都會結束，但對不同的人來說方式不同。現在這對夫婦正在爭論下一步去哪裡。他想去澳大利亞阿爾卑斯山，但她更想去法國阿爾卑斯山。整個場景可能讓你想起一些膚淺的肥皂劇，但對這對夫婦來說，這是一個非常嚴肅的問題。感知上的差異是由不同的擁有意願水平造成的。你將再辛苦一年，直到你有假期，而這對夫婦則期望在一周內度假。

Those who give themselves permission to have do not take part in the battle. They are too busy. For example, a lucky couple were taking a break as a ski resort in Switzerland last week. They had a ball. All balls eventually come to an end but in different ways for different people. Now the couple is arguing about where to go next. He wants to go to the Australian Alps but she would rather go to the French Alps. The whole scene may remind you of some superficial soap opera, but for the couple it is more than a serious matter. The difference in perception is caused by different levels of willingness to have. You will trudge away for another year until you have a holiday whereas the couple expect to have their next holiday in a week’s time.

理性思維可能會不滿地抗議：“但怎麼可能，畢竟，他們生來就有數百萬，而我必須賺錢！我從哪裡得到錢？”我們已經說過多少次，你不必考慮錢。當你結束戰鬥並給自己擁有的許可時，外在意圖(outer intention)將會給你所需的東西。我無法在此時此地證明這一點，但你可以自己測試這一原則，不要嘗試，只需去做，不是明天，而是今天。從現在開始，無條件地、毫無保留地允許自己擁有，而不是偶爾，而是一直。如果你不期望立即的結果，並繼續允許自己擁有，總有一天會發生一些事情，其他人會想稱之為奇蹟。那些生來就有數百萬的人已經充滿了擁有的意志。他們甚至不必考慮這一點，而你將不得不使用幻燈片(Slide)。心靈會擔心目標的現實性和實現它的方法，但這是通向無處的戰鬥之路。如果你走這條路，你永遠不會賺到足夠的錢。賺取擁有的意志，而不是錢。

The rational mind may be upset protesting: “But how can that be, after all, they were born with their millions whereas I have to earn my money! Where would I get the money?” How many times have we already said, that you do not have to think about the money. When you end the battle and give yourself permission to have outer intention will a way of giving you what you need. I cannot prove this to you right here and now but you can test the principle for yourself and do not try it, just do it and not tomorrow but today. Allow yourself to have from this moment onwards, unconditionally and unreservedly and not occasionally but all the time. If you do not expect instant results and continue to allow yourself to have one fine day something will happen that others will want to call a miracle. Those who are born with millions are already imbued with the will to have. They do not even have to think about it whereas you will have to work with slides. The mind will worry about how realistic the goal is and the means to achieve it, but this is the path of battle that leads nowhere. If you take this path you will never earn enough money. Earn the will to have, not the money.

如果你專注於目標，彷彿已經實現了，門就會為你打開，方法會自行解決。這一切的自由足以讓你頭暈目眩。你可以選擇不接受這種自由。這是你的選擇。沒有什麼比說這一切都是廢話然後繼續辛苦工作更容易的了。每個人都做出自己的選擇，並獲得他們願意擁有的東西。你的選擇是不可改變的法律，並以此塑造自己的現實。

If you concentrate on the goal as if you had already achieved it your doors will open and the means will take care of themselves. The freedom of it all is enough to make your head spin. You may choose not to accept this freedom. It is your choice. Nothing would be easier than to say that this is all rubbish and continue toiling away the rest of your life. Everyone makes their choice and receives what they are willing to have. Your choice is immutable law and with it you shape your own reality.

在可能性空間(Alternatives space)中的選擇大致如下：人們走進一家超市，店員問：“你想要什麼？”一位顧客回答：我想成為演藝界的明星。店員回答：“沒問題。這裡有一個特別為你準備的絕佳版本。世界名聲、財富、光芒！你要嗎？”顧客驚訝地說：“嗯，我該怎麼說呢……這不容易。只有少數人真正成功，而被選中的少數人擁有獨特的才能，而我只是普通人。”店員聳聳肩：“這與才能有什麼關係。這是你的東西。拿去吧！”顧客接著說：“進入演藝界真的很難。這有點像叢林，一個充滿鯊魚的世界……”店員回應：“好吧，這裡有一條巨大的鯊魚來幫助你成功。拿去吧，你不會後悔的。”顧客回答：“演藝界的明星有如此豪華的住宅、豪華的汽車、頂級社交……這一切真的可以是我的嗎。我幾乎不敢相信”，此時店員說：“哦，當然，這真可惜。我想我們幫不了你”，然後把物品放回架子上。

Choice in the alternatives space takes place roughly in the following way: people wander into a supermarket where they are asked: “What would you like?” One customer replies: I would like to become a star in show business. The shop assistant replies: “No Problem. Here is a great version, especially for you. World fame, wealth, shine! Will you take it?” Surprised the customer says: “Well, how can I put this…It is not that easy. Only a handful ever really make it, and the chosen few have unique talents whereas I am just your average Jo blogs.” The shop assistant shrugs their shoulders: “What has talent got to do with it. Here’s your item. Take it!” The customer then says: “It is really hard to get into show business. It is a bit of a jungle, a world full of sharks..” The shop assistant comes back with: “Ok, so here’s a massive shark to help you make it. Take it, you will not regret it.” The customer replies: “The stars of show business have such luxurious homes, fancy cars, top society…could all that really be mine. I can hardly believe it”, at which point the shop assistant says: “Oh well, it is a shame of course. I do not think we can help you”, and puts the item back on the shelf.

同樣，一個人可能會謹慎地問另一個人：“你知道怎麼乘坐商業航班嗎？”“當然”，另一個人回答，“我只需坐在座位上，繫好安全帶，飛機就會升空。”一旦你允許這個想法，即實現目標只是選擇的問題，你就會開始感受到在可能性空間(Alternatives space)商店中顧客的擔憂有多荒謬。這只是願意擁有的問題。僅此而已。

In the same way a person might cautiously ask another: “Do you know how to fly on a commercial airliner?” “Of course”, the other replies, “I simply sit in the seat, fasten my seat-belt and the aeroplane lifts up into the air.” As soon as you allow for the idea that achieving the goal is simply a matter of choice you will begin to feel just how absurd the customer’s concerns are in the alternatives space shop. It is just a matter of being willing to have. That is all.

你可能會陷入與自己鬥爭以獲得擁有意志的陷阱。無論你做什麼，都不要強迫自己允許自己擁有。不要強迫自己想像目標幻燈片(Slide)。你不應該需要推動自己。不要給自己施加壓力或緊張，因為這又使其成為一場戰鬥。只需享受擁有令人興奮的想法。放下重要性(Importance)並結束戰鬥。通過戰鬥無法實現任何目標。你繼續戰鬥的原因是因為周圍的一切都被提升為重要性(Importance)。你不能在激烈爭奪陽光下的位置的同時允許自己擁有。

You might fall into the trap of battling with yourself for the will to have. Whatever you do, do not force yourself to allow yourself to have. Do not force yourself to picture the target slide. You should not need to push yourself. Do not pressure yourself or tense up over it for that again makes it a battle. Simply take pleasure in having exciting thoughts. Abandon importance and end the battle. Nothing is achieved by battling. The reason you continue battling is because everything around you has been elevated in importance. You cannot allow yourself to have at the same time as fighting ardently for your place in the sun.

你可能堅定而充滿信心地相信你將擁有屬於你的東西，並熱情地說服自己這一切都取決於你的個人選擇。然而，強行行動意味著創造過剩潛力。所需的是更像一種無憂無慮、輕鬆的決心。

You may be resolute and full of confidence that you will have what is yours and are enthusiastically convincing yourself that it is all down to your personal choice. Yet to act forcefully entails creating excess potential. What is required is more like a carefree, light-hearted resolve.

放鬆，放開控制的緊握，只需意識到你正在拿走屬於你的東西。你不需要鼓起勢頭和熱情去買報紙。如果他們沒有你想要的報紙，你只需走到其他報攤。放開你的致命緊握。

Relax, let go your grip of control and just be aware of the fact that you are taking what is yours. You do not need to drum up momentum and enthusiasm to go to buy a paper. If they do not have the paper you want you just walk to other newsagents. Release your deadly grip.

試圖放開緊握只會讓它變得更緊。任何形式的勤奮或努力只會加劇過剩潛力。重要性(Importance)是努力和強迫緊握的根本原因。如果你在與之鬥爭，你無法放鬆緊握。放下重要性(Importance)，緊握將自然而然地放鬆。

By trying to release your grip it becomes even tighter. Any kind of diligence or effort only aggravates excess potential. Importance is the underlying cause of effort and compulsive grip. You cannot relax the grip if you are battling with it. Abandon importance and the grip will relax of its own accord.

降低重要性(Importance)將意圖(Intention)的方向指針從內在意圖(Intention)區域轉移到外在意圖(outer intention)區域。任何施加的壓力都是重要性(Importance)的結果。當你試圖對情況施加壓力時，你的行動是由內在意圖(Intention)指導的。意志力在克服障礙時是必不可少的，但正如我們現在所知，障礙源於重要性(Importance)。當你降低重要性(Importance)時，障礙就會瓦解，不再需要意志力。當重要性(Importance)消失時，推動目標的需要轉變為擁有的意志，然後外在意圖(outer intention)就會出現。

Reducing importance shifts the arrow that indicates the direction of intention from the inner intention zone to the outer intention zone. Any pressure that is applied is the result of importance. When you try to put pressure on a situation your actions are directed by inner intention. Will power is essential in overcoming obstacles but as we now know, obstacles are born of importance. Obstacles disintegrate the moment you reduce importance and will power is no longer required. When importance disappears the need to push for your goals transforms into the will to have and then outer intention sets in.

你不必贏得選擇的權利。你已經擁有它。如果你充滿決心要贏得選擇的權利，準備好失望。如果你充滿決心和活力，你又會緊握致命的緊握。

You do not have to win the right to choose. You already have it. If you feel filled with decisiveness to win your right to choose, prepare to be disappointed. If you are filled with decisiveness and vigour you again hold the deadly grip.

平衡力量(Balanced forces)會迅速冷卻你燃燒的煤炭。而"鐘擺"(Pendulums)感受到你的重要性(Importance)後會立即試圖激怒你。你會親自看到這就是它的運作方式。

Balanced forces will quickly cool your smouldering coals. And pendulums, having sensed your importance will immediately try to provoke you. You will see for yourself that this is how it works.

不要讓未能獲得冷靜的意志讓你擔心或沮喪。人們非常習慣於將能量引導到"鐘擺"(Pendulums)的飼料上，而不是他們的目標。最終，你會學會區分決心和意志。擁有的意志是不帶激情、無情感的意圖(Intention)，用來獲取無可爭議屬於你的東西。說“我充滿決心要從信箱中取出郵件”聽起來是不是很奇怪？你必須像從信箱中取回郵件一樣冷靜而不堅持地行使你的選擇權。

Do not let unsuccessful attempts to acquire dispassionate will worry or upset you. People are very used to channelling their energy not so much towards their goals as towards the feed for pendulums. Eventually, you will learn to differentiate between decisiveness and will. The will to have is the dispassionate, unemotional intention to take what is unquestionably yours. Does not it sound weird to say: “I am absolutely full of decisiveness to get the post from the letter- box”? You must exercise your right to choose just as calmly and uninsistently as you would retrieve your post from the letter box.

在生活中，人們總是要參加測試、考試、比賽和各種個人評估，但擁有的意志只取決於你自己。你是自己的考官。你給自己的任何評分通常反映了你認為自己無能和不配，或者目標不切實際。人們出於習慣自動這樣做。你所要做的就是允許自己擁有無論發生什麼。這當然不熟悉，但為什麼不敢嘗試一下，允許自己擁有呢？牛頓和其他人的蘋果可能會掉到地上，但讓你的蘋果掉到天空。你可能迫切希望獲得擁有的意志，但仍然放下渴望。渴望已經夠了；無論如何你都會得到你需要的東西。只需考慮拿走已經屬於你的東西。冷靜地拿走，不要求或堅持，心想：“如果我想要，那有什麼問題？我會擁有它。”

In life people are always having to take tests, exams, take part in contests, and all sorts of personal assessments but the will to have depends only on yourself. You are your own examiner. Any mark you give yourself is usually a reflection either of the belief that you are incapable and unworthy, or that the goal is unrealistic. People do this automatically, out of habit. All you have to do is allow yourself to have whatever else is happening. It is unfamiliar of course, but why not dare to try it and allow yourself to have. Newton’s and anyone else’s apples may fall to the ground but let yours fall to the sky. You might desperately wish to acquire the will to have but nonetheless, abandon desire. Enough of desiring; you are going to get what you need anyway. Just think about taking what already belongs to you. Take it calmly without demanding or insisting with the thought of: If want it, what is the problem? I will have it”

結束戰鬥

Ending the Battle

選擇自由 (Freedom of Choice) 在於一個極其簡單的事實。無需爭鬥實現你的目標。你需要的只是擁有的意志 (Will to Have)。一旦你允許自己擁有，你可以開始冷靜地朝目標方向一步接一步前進。擺錘會強加不同的劇本，迫使你為目標而戰，向世界和自己宣戰。擺錘建議從自己開始。它們讓你相信你不完美，因此在改變之前無法實現目標。一旦你改變，你必須加入陽光下位置的戰鬥。這個劇本背後只有一個動機：耗盡受害者的能量。與自己戰鬥，你將能量給予擺錘，加入對外部世界的戰鬥也是如此。

The freedom of choice lies in one incredibly simple fact. There is no need to fight to achieve your goal. All you need is the will to have. As soon as you allow yourself to have you can begin the process of calmly placing one foot in front of the other in the direction of your goal. Pendulums will impose a different scenario forcing you to fight for your goal, declaring war on the world and yourself. Pendulums recommend starting with yourself. They make you believe that you are not perfect and so will not achieve your goal until you change. Once you have changed, then you must join the battle for a place in the sun. There is only one motivation behind this scenario which is to drain the victim’s energy. By battling with yourself you give your energy to the pendulum and you do just the same when you join the battle against the outside world.

在此背景下，“戰鬥”一詞意味著持續的緊張、奮鬥和紀律。你必須時刻準備戰鬥，就像模糊知道世界上某處有自由的戰士。戰士的錯誤在於他們認為必須為自由而戰。他們一生都在戰爭，總是將主要戰鬥推遲到以後。戰士不相信你可以直接走過去拿走自由。他們對自己和他人說，這是一項極具挑戰性的任務，需要多年努力和汗水。

The word battle in this context presupposes constant tension, struggle and discipline. You have to be ever ready for battle, as warriors are who vaguely understand that somewhere in the world there is freedom. The mistake of the warrior is that they think they have to fight for their freedom. They spend their lives at war always putting off their main fight until later. Warriors do not believe that you can just walk up and take your freedom. They tell themselves and others that it is an extremely challenging task requiring years of hard work and sweat.

Transurfing朝聖者不參與自由的爭鬥，因為他們知道自由已屬於他們。沒人能強迫你戰鬥，但如果你充滿內在和外在重要性，你真的別無選擇。Transurfing中最接近戰鬥的是無暇行動的意圖 (Intention)，但這不需要戰術效率和紀律，而是需要意識覺知。

The Transurfing Pilgrim does not take get involved in the fight for freedom because they know that freedom is already theirs. No-one can force you to fight and yet if you are filled with inner and outer importance you really do not have any other choice. The closest thing to battle in Transurfing is the intention to act impeccably but rather then requiring tactical efficiency and discipline it requires conscious awareness.

如果你發現僅僅索取和允許自己擁有的想法困難，你可能推遲以後再回來。但推遲多久？推遲的線可以持續你一生。推遲到下次使當下生活僅為未來更好的彩排。人們總是對當下不滿，用希望未來會改善來安慰自己。這種態度下，更好的未來永遠不會到來。它總是懸在你面前，讓你追逐，就像追逐落日。

If you find it difficult to just claim and allow yourself the idea of having you may put it off to return to later. But for how long? The yarn of postponement can go on all your life. Putting it off until the next time makes life in the present moment a mere dress rehearsal for some better future. People are always unsatisfied by the present moment and console themselves with the hope that things will soon improve. With this attitude the better future will never come. It will always hover just in front of you for you to chase after, and it will be just the same as trying to catch up with the setting sun.

你還有充足時間的想法是幻覺。你可能一生都在期待更好的未來。有句話說：“沒有什麼比臨時的更永久。”實際上，沒有時間等待。不要等待未來，而是將其插入當下。允許自己在此刻擁有。這不意味著你的目標會立即實現。我們談論的是意志，即擁有的意圖，與持續與自己的戰鬥相反。擁有的意志比行動的意志無限強大。

The idea that you still have plenty of time is an illusion. You can spend your entire life in expectation of a better future. There is the saying; “There is nothing more permanent than the temporary”. In reality there is no time to wait. Do not wait for the future but insert it into the current moment. Allow yourself to have, here and now. That does not mean that your goal will be realized instantly. We are talking about will, i.e. the intention to have in contradistinction to the ongoing battle with the self. The will to have is infinitely more powerful than the will to act.

如果你一生都在參與陽光下位置的戰鬥，這讓你走多遠？你是否不得不拖著自己去無聊的工作或大學，像去強制勞動，而其他人正在滑雪勝地放鬆或在海邊曬太陽？也許他們贏得了戰鬥，現在能享受生活？

If you have spent your whole life taking part in the battle for a place in the sun, how far has it got you? Did you have to drag yourself to your boring job or to college as if to forced labour whilst someone else was relaxing as a ski resort or warming themselves in the sunshine by the ocean? Perhaps they won their battle and are now able to enjoy life?

大多數參與戰鬥的人即使一生儲蓄也無法負擔去滑雪勝地，如果你能負擔一年幾天的快樂，那總是成就。但常發生的是，你到達時天氣不好，滑雪纜車壞了，或你必須應對其他未預見的問題。即使一切順利，你仍會想到要節約，記得你多努力工作才賺到這幾天假期的錢，假期很快結束。你原則上過得愉快，但隨後你必須回到工作生活的灰色日子，再次辛苦勞作。

The majority of people who participate in the battle would not be able to afford to go to a ski resort even if they saved up for it their whole life and if you can afford to give yourself a few days pleasure once a year then that is always an achievement. But what often happens is you arrive and the weather is bad or the ski lift is broken or you have to deal with other problems you could not have foreseen. Even if everything goes well, the thought will still be in your mind that you should be economical and you will remember how hard you worked to earn the money to pay for these few days of holiday which is so quickly coming to an end. You will have had a nice time in principle but then you will have to return to the grey days of working life and slave away again.

你贏得了戰鬥，贏得了假期，但不時有陰影潛入你的思想。你確信必須長時間努力工作才能贏得短暫的快樂。你尚未準備好完全允許自己擁有。

You won the battle and earned a holiday and yet from time to time a dark shadow creeps into your thoughts. You are convinced that you have to work long and hard to earn just a short time of pleasure. You are not ready to totally give yourself permission to have.

允許自己擁有的人不參與戰鬥。他們太忙了。例如，一對幸運的夫婦上週在瑞士滑雪勝地度假。他們玩得很開心。所有舞會最終都會結束，但對不同的人結束方式不同。現在這對夫婦在爭論下次去哪。他想去澳洲阿爾卑斯，她更想去法國阿爾卑斯。整個場景可能讓你想起膚淺的肥皂劇，但對這對夫婦來說，這比嚴肅更重要。這種感知差異由於擁有的意志水平不同。你會再辛苦一年直到下次假期，而這對夫婦期待一週後的下次假期。

Those who give themselves permission to have do not take part in the battle. They are too busy. For example, a lucky couple were taking a break as a ski resort in Switzerland last week. They had a ball. All balls eventually come to an end but in different ways for different people. Now the couple is arguing about where to go next. He wants to go to the Australian Alps but she would rather go to the French Alps. The whole scene may remind you of some superficial soap opera, but for the couple it is more than a serious matter. The difference in perception is caused by different levels of willingness to have. You will trudge away for another year until you have a holiday whereas the couple expect to have their next holiday in a week’s time.

理性頭腦可能會抗議：“這怎麼可能，畢竟他們生來就有百萬財富，而我必須賺錢！我從哪裡弄錢？”我們已經說過多少次，你不必考慮錢。當你結束戰鬥並允許自己擁有，外在意圖會找到方法給你所需。我無法在此刻證明這一點，但你可以自己測試這原則，不要嘗試，直接去做，不是明天，而是今天。從此刻開始無條件、無保留地允許自己擁有，不是偶爾，而是始終。如果你不期待立即結果，繼續允許自己擁有，有一天會發生其他人想稱為奇蹟的事。生來有百萬財富的人已內化擁有的意志。他們甚至不必考慮，而你需要用幻燈片 (Slides) 工作。頭腦會擔心目標是否現實以及實現手段，但這是無果的戰鬥之路。如果你走這條路，你永遠賺不到足夠的錢。賺取擁有的意志，而不是錢。

The rational mind may be upset protesting: “But how can that be, after all, they were born with their millions whereas I have to earn my money! Where would I get the money?” How many times have we already said, that you do not have to think about the money. When you end the battle and give yourself permission to have outer intention will a way of giving you what you need. I cannot prove this to you right here and now but you can test the principle for yourself and do not try it, just do it and not tomorrow but today. Allow yourself to have from this moment onwards, unconditionally and unreservedly and not occasionally but all the time. If you do not expect instant results and continue to allow yourself to have one fine day something will happen that others will want to call a miracle. Those who are born with millions are already imbued with the will to have. They do not even have to think about it whereas you will have to work with slides. The mind will worry about how realistic the goal is and the means to achieve it, but this is the path of battle that leads nowhere. If you take this path you will never earn enough money. Earn the will to have, not the money.

如果你專注於目標，彷彿已實現，你的門 (Goals and Doors) 會打開，手段會自己解決。這一切的自由足以讓你頭暈。你可能選擇不接受這自由。這是你的選擇。沒有什麼比說這全是胡說並繼續餘生勞碌更容易。每個人做出選擇，接收他們願意擁有的東西。你的選擇是不可變的法則，你用它塑造自己的現實。

If you concentrate on the goal as if you had already achieved it your doors will open and the means will take care of themselves. The freedom of it all is enough to make your head spin. You may choose not to accept this freedom. It is your choice. Nothing would be easier than to say that this is all rubbish and continue toiling away the rest of your life. Everyone makes their choice and receives what they are willing to have. Your choice is immutable law and with it you shape your own reality.

在另闢蹊徑之空間 (Alternatives Space) 中的選擇大致如下：人們走進超市，被問：“你想要什麼？”一位顧客回答：“我想成為演藝明星。”店員回應：“沒問題。這裡有個特別為你的版本。世界名聲、財富、光輝！你拿嗎？”顧客驚訝說：“嗯，怎麼說呢…這不容易。只有少數人能成功，這些人擁有獨特才華，而我只是普通人。”店員聳肩：“才華有什麼關係。這是你的東西。拿吧！”顧客說：“演藝圈很難進。是一個充滿鯊魚的叢林世界…”店員回應：“好，這裡有條大鯊魚幫你成功。拿吧，不會後悔。”顧客回答：“演藝明星有豪華住宅、豪車、頂級社交…這真的能屬於我嗎？我難以相信。”店員說：“哦，真可惜。我想我們幫不了你”，然後將東西放回架上。

Choice in the alternatives space takes place roughly in the following way: people wander into a supermarket where they are asked: “What would you like?” One customer replies: I would like to become a star in show business. The shop assistant replies: “No Problem. Here is a great version, especially for you. World fame, wealth, shine! Will you take it?” Surprised the customer says: “Well, how can I put this…It is not that easy. Only a handful ever really make it, and the chosen few have unique talents whereas I am just your average Jo blogs.” The shop assistant shrugs their shoulders: “What has talent got to do with it. Here’s your item. Take it!” The customer then says: “It is really hard to get into show business. It is a bit of a jungle, a world full of sharks..” The shop assistant comes back with: “Ok, so here’s a massive shark to help you make it. Take it, you will not regret it.” The customer replies: “The stars of show business have such luxurious homes, fancy cars, top society…could all that really be mine. I can hardly believe it”, at which point the shop assistant says: “Oh well, it is a shame of course. I do not think we can help you”, and puts the item back on the shelf.

同樣，一個人可能謹慎問另一人：“你知道如何乘商業飛機飛嗎？”另一人回答：“當然，我只是坐在座位上，繫好安全帶，飛機就升空了。”一旦你接受實現目標只是選擇的問題，你會開始感覺在另闢蹊徑之空間超市中顧客的擔憂多荒謬。只是願意擁有的問題。僅此而已。

In the same way a person might cautiously ask another: “Do you know how to fly on a commercial airliner?” “Of course”, the other replies, “I simply sit in the seat, fasten my seat-belt and the aeroplane lifts up into the air.” As soon as you allow for the idea that achieving the goal is simply a matter of choice you will begin to feel just how absurd the customer’s concerns are in the alternatives space shop. It is just a matter of being willing to have. That is all.

你可能陷入與自己爭取擁有的意志的陷阱。無論你做什麼，不要強迫自己允許自己擁有。不要強迫自己描繪目標幻燈片。你不應需要推動自己。不要對自己施壓或緊張，因為這又變成戰鬥。簡單地享受令人興奮的想法。放棄重要性，結束戰鬥。戰鬥無所成就。你繼續戰鬥的原因是周圍一切被提升了重要性。你不能同時熱烈爭取陽光下的位置又允許自己擁有。

You might fall into the trap of battling with yourself for the will to have. Whatever you do, do not force yourself to allow yourself to have. Do not force yourself to picture the target slide. You should not need to push yourself. Do not pressure yourself or tense up over it for that again makes it a battle. Simply take pleasure in having exciting thoughts. Abandon importance and end the battle. Nothing is achieved by battling. The reason you continue battling is because everything around you has been elevated in importance. You cannot allow yourself to have at the same time as fighting ardently for your place in the sun.

你可能堅定自信你會擁有屬於你的東西，熱情說服自己這全取決於你的選擇。然而，強硬行動意味著創造過剩潛能 (Excess Potential)。所需的是無憂無慮、輕鬆的決心。

You may be resolute and full of confidence that you will have what is yours and are enthusiastically convincing yourself that it is all down to your personal choice. Yet to act forcefully entails creating excess potential. What is required is more like a carefree, light-hearted resolve.

放鬆，放開控制的抓握，只是意識到你在拿屬於你的東西。你不需要鼓動動力或熱情去買報紙。如果他們沒有你想要的報紙，你只是走到另一家報亭。釋放你的致命抓握。

Relax, let go your grip of control and just be aware of the fact that you are taking what is yours. You do not need to drum up momentum and enthusiasm to go to buy a paper. If they do not have the paper you want you just walk to other newsagents. Release your deadly grip.

試圖釋放抓握會使其更緊。任何勤奮或努力只會加劇過剩潛能。重要性是努力和強迫抓握的根本原因。如果你與抓握戰鬥，你無法放鬆。放棄重要性，抓握會自行放鬆。

By trying to release your grip it becomes even tighter. Any kind of diligence or effort only aggravates excess potential. Importance is the underlying cause of effort and compulsive grip. You cannot relax the grip if you are battling with it. Abandon importance and the grip will relax of its own accord.

降低重要性將意圖方向的箭頭從內在意圖區轉移到外在意圖區。任何施加的壓力都是重要性的結果。當你試圖對情況施壓，你的行動由內在意圖驅動。克服障礙需要意志力，但如我們現在所知，障礙由重要性產生。當你降低重要性，障礙解體，意志力不再需要。當重要性消失，推動目標的需要轉化為擁有的意志，然後外在意圖啟動。

Reducing importance shifts the arrow that indicates the direction of intention from the inner intention zone to the outer intention zone. Any pressure that is applied is the result of importance. When you try to put pressure on a situation your actions are directed by inner intention. Will power is essential in overcoming obstacles but as we now know, obstacles are born of importance. Obstacles disintegrate the moment you reduce importance and will power is no longer required. When importance disappears the need to push for your goals transforms into the will to have and then outer intention sets in.

你不必贏得選擇的權利。你已擁有它。如果你充滿贏得選擇權的決心，準備失望。如果你充滿果斷和活力，你又持致命抓握。

You do not have to win the right to choose. You already have it. If you feel filled with decisiveness to win your right to choose, prepare to be disappointed. If you are filled with decisiveness and vigour you again hold the deadly grip.

平衡力量會迅速冷卻你的燃燒之煤。擺錘感應到你的重要性會立即試圖挑釁你。你會親眼看到這是如何運作的。

Balanced forces will quickly cool your smouldering coals. And pendulums, having sensed your importance will immediately try to provoke you. You will see for yourself that this is how it works.

不要讓不成功的嘗試獲得冷漠意志讓你擔憂或沮喪。人們非常習慣將能量引導到擺錘的飼料，而不是目標。最終，你會學會區分果斷和意志。擁有的意志是冷漠、無情的意圖，拿走無疑屬於你的東西。說“我絕對充滿果斷去從信箱取信”聽起來不怪嗎？你必須像從信箱取信一樣冷靜、不堅持地行使選擇權。

Do not let unsuccessful attempts to acquire dispassionate will worry or upset you. People are very used to channelling their energy not so much towards their goals as towards the feed for pendulums. Eventually, you will learn to differentiate between decisiveness and will. The will to have is the dispassionate, unemotional intention to take what is unquestionably yours. Does not it sound weird to say: “I am absolutely full of decisiveness to get the post from the letter- box”? You must exercise your right to choose just as calmly and uninsistently as you would retrieve your post from the letter box.

在生活中，人們總要參加考試、比賽、各種個人評估，但擁有的意志只取決於你自己。你是自己的考官。你給自己的任何評分通常反映你認為自己無能和不值得，或目標不現實。人們出於習慣自動這樣做。你只需允許自己擁有，無論發生什麼。這當然不熟悉，但為什麼不試著大膽允許自己擁有。牛頓和其他人的蘋果可能落向地面，但讓你的蘋果落向天空。你可能拼命希望獲得擁有的意志，但無論如何，放棄渴望。夠了渴望；你反正會得到你需要的。只是想想拿走已屬於你的東西。冷靜地拿，無需要求或堅持，想著：如果我想要，有什麼問題？我會擁有它。

In life people are always having to take tests, exams, take part in contests, and all sorts of personal assessments but the will to have depends only on yourself. You are your own examiner. Any mark you give yourself is usually a reflection either of the belief that you are incapable and unworthy, or that the goal is unrealistic. People do this automatically, out of habit. All you have to do is allow yourself to have whatever else is happening. It is unfamiliar of course, but why not dare to try it and allow yourself to have. Newton’s and anyone else’s apples may fall to the ground but let yours fall to the sky. You might desperately wish to acquire the will to have but nonetheless, abandon desire. Enough of desiring; you are going to get what you need anyway. Just think about taking what already belongs to you. Take it calmly without demanding or insisting with the thought of: If want it, what is the problem? I will have it”

結束戰鬥

Ending the Battle

自由的選擇在於一個極其簡單的事實。實現你的目標不需要戰鬥。你所需要的只是擁有的意志。當你允許自己擁有時，你可以開始平靜地將一隻腳放在另一隻腳前，朝著你的目標邁進。擺錘會強加一種不同的情境，迫使你為你的目標而戰，向世界和自己宣戰。擺錘建議從自己開始。他們讓你相信你不完美，因此在你改變之前不會實現你的目標。一旦你改變了，那麼你必須加入為陽光下的地方而戰的行列。這一情境背後只有一個動機，就是耗盡受害者的能量。通過與自己戰鬥，你將能量給了擺錘，當你加入對外部世界的戰鬥時，你也是如此。

The freedom of choice lies in one incredibly simple fact. There is no need to fight to achieve your goal. All you need is the will to have. As soon as you allow yourself to have you can begin the process of calmly placing one foot in front of the other in the direction of your goal. Pendulums will impose a different scenario forcing you to fight for your goal, declaring war on the world and yourself. Pendulums recommend starting with yourself. They make you believe that you are not perfect and so will not achieve your goal until you change. Once you have changed, then you must join the battle for a place in the sun. There is only one motivation behind this scenario which is to drain the victim’s energy. By battling with yourself you give your energy to the pendulum and you do just the same when you join the battle against the outside world.

在這個上下文中，戰鬥這個詞預設了持續的緊張、掙扎和紀律。你必須隨時準備戰鬥，就像那些模糊理解世界某處存在自由的戰士一樣。戰士的錯誤在於他們認為必須為自己的自由而戰。他們一生都在戰爭中，總是將主要的戰鬥推遲到以後。戰士們不相信你可以輕鬆走上前去獲得自由。他們告訴自己和他人，這是一項極具挑戰性的任務，需要多年艱苦的工作和汗水。

The word battle in this context presupposes constant tension, struggle and discipline. You have to be ever ready for battle, as warriors are who vaguely understand that somewhere in the world there is freedom. The mistake of the warrior is that they think they have to fight for their freedom. They spend their lives at war always putting off their main fight until later. Warriors do not believe that you can just walk up and take your freedom. They tell themselves and others that it is an extremely challenging task requiring years of hard work and sweat.

Transurfing朝聖者不參與為自由而戰，因為他們知道自由已經屬於他們。沒有人可以強迫你去戰鬥，但如果你充滿內在和外在的重要性，你真的沒有其他選擇。在Transurfing中，最接近戰鬥的就是完美行動的意圖，但這不需要戰術效率和紀律，而需要的是有意識的覺察。

The Transurfing Pilgrim does not take get involved in the fight for freedom because they know that freedom is already theirs. No-one can force you to fight and yet if you are filled with inner and outer importance you really do not have any other choice. The closest thing to battle in Transurfing is the intention to act impeccably but rather then requiring tactical efficiency and discipline it requires conscious awareness.

如果你發現自己很難僅僅聲明並允許自己擁有這個想法，你可以將它推遲到以後再回來。但要推遲多久呢？推遲的紗線可能會持續你的一生。將它推遲到下次使當下的生活僅僅成為某個更好未來的彩排。人們總是對當下不滿足，並以希望事情會很快改善來安慰自己。抱著這種態度，更好的未來將永遠不會到來。它將始終在你面前徘徊，讓你去追逐，就像試圖追趕落日一樣。

If you find it difficult to just claim and allow yourself the idea of having you may put it off to return to later. But for how long? The yarn of postponement can go on all your life. Putting it off until the next time makes life in the present moment a mere dress rehearsal for some better future. People are always unsatisfied by the present moment and console themselves with the hope that things will soon improve. With this attitude the better future will never come. It will always hover just in front of you for you to chase after, and it will be just the same as trying to catch up with the setting sun.

認為你還有很多時間的想法是一種幻覺。你可以花一生的時間期待更好的未來。有句話說：“沒有什麼比暫時的更永久。” 實際上，沒有時間等待。不要等待未來，而是將其融入當下。允許自己在此時此刻擁有。這並不意味著你的目標會立即實現。我們談論的是意志，即擁有的意圖，與持續與自我的戰鬥形成對比。擁有的意志是無限強大的，遠超過行動的意志。

The idea that you still have plenty of time is an illusion. You can spend your entire life in expectation of a better future. There is the saying; “There is nothing more permanent than the temporary”. In reality there is no time to wait. Do not wait for the future but insert it into the current moment. Allow yourself to have, here and now. That does not mean that your goal will be realized instantly. We are talking about will, i.e. the intention to have in contradistinction to the ongoing battle with the self. The will to have is infinitely more powerful than the will to act.

如果你一生都參與為陽光下的地方而戰，那麼你已經走了多遠？你是否不得不像去強迫勞動一樣拖著自己去無聊的工作或上學，而其他人則在滑雪度假村放鬆或在海邊享受陽光？也許他們贏得了他們的戰鬥，現在能夠享受生活？

If you have spent your whole life taking part in the battle for a place in the sun, how far has it got you? Did you have to drag yourself to your boring job or to college as if to forced labour whilst someone else was relaxing as a ski resort or warming themselves in the sunshine by the ocean? Perhaps they won their battle and are now able to enjoy life?

參加戰鬥的大多數人即使一生都在省吃儉用也無法負擔去滑雪度假村的費用，而如果你能夠每年給自己幾天的快樂，那也是一種成就。但經常發生的情況是你到達時天氣不好，或者滑雪纜車壞了，或者你不得不處理其他無法預見的問題。即使一切順利，你的心中仍會想到你應該節儉，並且你會記得自己為了支付這幾天的假期而努力工作了多麼辛苦，這假期很快就要結束。原則上你會度過一段愉快的時光，但然後你必須回到灰暗的工作生活中，再次辛勤工作。

The majority of people who participate in the battle would not be able to afford to go to a ski resort even if they saved up for it their whole life and if you can afford to give yourself a few days pleasure once a year then that is always an achievement. But what often happens is you arrive and the weather is bad or the ski lift is broken or you have to deal with other problems you could not have foreseen. Even if everything goes well, the thought will still be in your mind that you should be economical and you will remember how hard you worked to earn the money to pay for these few days of holiday which is so quickly coming to an end. You will have had a nice time in principle but then you will have to return to the grey days of working life and slave away again.

你贏得了戰鬥，獲得了假期，但時不時地，黑暗的陰影會潛入你的思緒。你堅信必須長時間辛勤工作才能獲得短暫的快樂。你還沒有準備好完全允許自己擁有。

You won the battle and earned a holiday and yet from time to time a dark shadow creeps into your thoughts. You are convinced that you have to work long and hard to earn just a short time of pleasure. You are not ready to totally give yourself permission to have.

那些允許自己擁有的人不參加戰鬥。他們太忙了。例如，上週一對幸運的情侶在瑞士的滑雪度假村休息。他們玩得很開心。所有的派對最終都會結束，但對於不同的人來說結束的方式不同。現在這對情侶在爭論下一步去哪裡。他想去澳大利亞的阿爾卑斯山，但她更想去法國的阿爾卑斯山。整個場景可能讓你想起某些膚淺的肥皂劇，但對於這對情侶來說，這是一個更為嚴肅的問題。感知的差異是由於對擁有的意願的不同程度造成的。你會再辛苦一年，直到你有假期，而這對情侶期待在一周後就能度假。

Those who give themselves permission to have do not take part in the battle. They are too busy. For example, a lucky couple were taking a break as a ski resort in Switzerland last week. They had a ball. All balls eventually come to an end but in different ways for different people. Now the couple is arguing about where to go next. He wants to go to the Australian Alps but she would rather go to the French Alps. The whole scene may remind you of some superficial soap opera, but for the couple it is more than a serious matter. The difference in perception is caused by different levels of willingness to have. You will trudge away for another year until you have a holiday whereas the couple expect to have their next holiday in a week’s time.

理性的心智可能會不高興地抗議：“但這怎麼可能，畢竟，他們是帶著數百萬出生的，而我必須賺錢！我哪裡能得到錢？” 我們已經說過多少次，你不必考慮金錢。當你結束戰鬥並允許自己擁有時，外在意圖會為你提供所需的方式。我無法在此時此刻向你證明這一點，但你可以自己測試這一原則，不要嘗試，只需去做，而不是明天，而是今天。從這一刻起，無條件地、毫無保留地允許自己擁有，而不是偶爾，而是一直。 如果你不期待立即的結果，並繼續允許自己擁有，某一天會發生一些事情，其他人會稱之為奇蹟。那些帶著數百萬出生的人已經擁有了擁有的意志。他們甚至不必考慮它，而你將不得不與擺錘作鬥爭。心智會擔心目標的現實性和實現它的手段，但這是通往無路可走的戰鬥之路。如果你走這條路，你永遠不會賺到足夠的錢。賺取擁有的意志，而不是金錢。

The rational mind may be upset protesting: “But how can that be, after all, they were born with their millions whereas I have to earn my money! Where would I get the money?” How many times have we already said, that you do not have to think about the money. When you end the battle and give yourself permission to have outer intention will a way of giving you what you need. I cannot prove this to you right here and now but you can test the principle for yourself and do not try it, just do it and not tomorrow but today. Allow yourself to have from this moment onwards, unconditionally and unreservedly and not occasionally but all the time. If you do not expect instant results and continue to allow yourself to have one fine day something will happen that others will want to call a miracle. Those who are born with millions are already imbued with the will to have. They do not even have to think about it whereas you will have to work with slides. The mind will worry about how realistic the goal is and the means to achieve it, but this is the path of battle that leads nowhere. If you take this path you will never earn enough money. Earn the will to have, not the money.

如果你專注於目標，就好像你已經實現了一樣，你的門將會打開，手段會自然而然地得到照顧。這一切的自由足以讓你感到頭暈。你可以選擇不接受這種自由。這是你的選擇。沒有什麼比說這一切都是胡說八道，然後繼續辛勤工作度過餘生更簡單的了。每個人都做出自己的選擇，並獲得他們願意擁有的東西。你的選擇是不可改變的法則，通過它你塑造自己的現實。

If you concentrate on the goal as if you had already achieved it your doors will open and the means will take care of themselves. The freedom of it all is enough to make your head spin. You may choose not to accept this freedom. It is your choice. Nothing would be easier than to say that this is all rubbish and continue toiling away the rest of your life. Everyone makes their choice and receives what they are willing to have. Your choice is immutable law and with it you shape your own reality.

在替代空間（alternatives space）中的選擇大致是這樣進行的：人們走進一家超市，店員問：“你想要什麼？” 一位顧客回答：“我想成為娛樂圈的明星。” 店員回答：“沒問題。這裡有一個特別為你準備的絕佳版本。世界知名、財富、光彩！你會接受嗎？” 驚訝的顧客說：“嗯，我該怎麼說呢……這並不那麼簡單。只有少數人真的能成功，而被選中的人擁有獨特的才能，而我只是普通人。” 店員聳聳肩：“才能和這有什麼關係。這是你的商品。拿去吧！” 顧客然後說：“進入娛樂圈真的很難。這是一個叢林，充滿了鯊魚……” 店員回應：“好吧，這裡有一條巨大的鯊魚來幫助你成功。拿去吧，你不會後悔的。” 顧客回答：“娛樂圈的明星擁有如此奢華的家、華麗的車、上流社會……這一切真的能屬於我嗎？我幾乎不敢相信。” 這時店員說：“哦，真可惜。我想我們幫不了你。”然後把商品放回架子上。

Choice in the alternatives space takes place roughly in the following way: people wander into a supermarket where they are asked: “What would you like?” One customer replies: I would like to become a star in show business. The shop assistant replies: “No Problem. Here is a great version, especially for you. World fame, wealth, shine! Will you take it?” Surprised the customer says: “Well, how can I put this…It is not that easy. Only a handful ever really make it, and the chosen few have unique talents whereas I am just your average Jo blogs.” The shop assistant shrugs their shoulders: “What has talent got to do with it. Here’s your item. Take it!” The customer then says: “It is really hard to get into show business. It is a bit of a jungle, a world full of sharks..” The shop assistant comes back with: “Ok, so here’s a massive shark to help you make it. Take it, you will not regret it.” The customer replies: “The stars of show business have such luxurious homes, fancy cars, top society…could all that really be mine. I can hardly believe it”, at which point the shop assistant says: “Oh well, it is a shame of course. I do not think we can help you”, and puts the item back on the shelf.

以同樣的方式，一個人可能小心翼翼地問另一個：“你知道怎麼在商業航班上飛嗎？” “當然，”另一個人回答，“我只需坐在座位上，繫好安全帶，飛機就會升空。” 一旦你允許自己相信實現目標只是選擇的問題，你將開始感受到顧客在替代空間商店中的擔憂是多麼荒謬。這只是一個願意擁有的問題。就這樣。

In the same way a person might cautiously ask another: “Do you know how to fly on a commercial airliner?” “Of course”, the other replies, “I simply sit in the seat, fasten my seat-belt and the aeroplane lifts up into the air.” As soon as you allow for the idea that achieving the goal is simply a matter of choice you will begin to feel just how absurd the customer’s concerns are in the alternatives space shop. It is just a matter of being willing to have. That is all.

你可能會陷入與自己爭鬥以獲得擁有的意志的陷阱。無論你做什麼，都不要強迫自己允許自己擁有。不要強迫自己想像目標的幻燈片。你不應該需要推動自己。不要給自己施加壓力或緊張，因為這又使其成為一場戰鬥。只需享受擁有激動人心的想法。放棄重要性，結束戰鬥。沒有任何事情是通過戰鬥來實現的。你繼續戰鬥的原因是因為你周圍的一切都被提升到了重要性。你不能在為自己的陽光之地而激烈戰鬥的同時允許自己擁有。

You might fall into the trap of battling with yourself for the will to have. Whatever you do, do not force yourself to allow yourself to have. Do not force yourself to picture the target slide. You should not need to push yourself. Do not pressure yourself or tense up over it for that again makes it a battle. Simply take pleasure in having exciting thoughts. Abandon importance and end the battle. Nothing is achieved by battling. The reason you continue battling is because everything around you has been elevated in importance. You cannot allow yourself to have at the same time as fighting ardently for your place in the sun.

你可能堅定而充滿信心地相信你會擁有屬於你的東西，並熱情地說服自己這一切都取決於你的個人選擇。然而，強行行動意味著創造過剩的潛力。所需的更像是一種無憂無慮、輕鬆的決心。

You may be resolute and full of confidence that you will have what is yours and are enthusiastically convincing yourself that it is all down to your personal choice. Yet to act forcefully entails creating excess potential. What is required is more like a carefree, light-hearted resolve.

放鬆，放開你的控制，並意識到你正在獲得屬於你的東西。你不需要鼓起動力和熱情去買報紙。如果他們沒有你想要的報紙，你只需走到其他報攤。釋放你的致命控制。

Relax, let go your grip of control and just be aware of the fact that you are taking what is yours. You do not need to drum up momentum and enthusiasm to go to buy a paper. If they do not have the paper you want you just walk to other newsagents. Release your deadly grip.

嘗試放開你的控制會使其變得更加緊繃。任何形式的勤奮或努力只會加劇過剩的潛力。重要性是努力和強迫控制的根本原因。如果你在與之戰鬥，你無法放鬆控制。放棄重要性，控制會自動放鬆。

By trying to release your grip it becomes even tighter. Any kind of diligence or effort only aggravates excess potential. Importance is the underlying cause of effort and compulsive grip. You cannot relax the grip if you are battling with it. Abandon importance and the grip will relax of its own accord.

減少重要性將意圖的方向箭頭從內在意圖區移向外在意圖區。施加的任何壓力都是重要性的結果。當你試圖對一個情況施加壓力時，你的行動是由內在意圖所驅動的。意志力在克服障礙中至關重要，但正如我們現在所知，障礙是由重要性所產生的。當你減少重要性時，障礙會立即消失，意志力不再需要。當重要性消失時，推動你實現目標的需求轉變為擁有的意志，然後外在意圖便會開始運作。

Reducing importance shifts the arrow that indicates the direction of intention from the inner intention zone to the outer intention zone. Any pressure that is applied is the result of importance. When you try to put pressure on a situation your actions are directed by inner intention. Will power is essential in overcoming obstacles but as we now know, obstacles are born of importance. Obstacles disintegrate the moment you reduce importance and will power is no longer required. When importance disappears the need to push for your goals transforms into the will to have and then outer intention sets in.

你不必贏得選擇的權利。你已經擁有它。如果你感到充滿決心去贏得你的選擇權，準備好失望吧。如果你充滿決心和活力，你再次握住致命的控制。

You do not have to win the right to choose. You already have it. If you feel filled with decisiveness to win your right to choose, prepare to be disappointed. If you are filled with decisiveness and vigour you again hold the deadly grip.

平衡的力量會迅速冷卻你燃燒的煤炭。而擺錘（Pendulum）在感知到你的重要性（Importance）後，會立即試圖挑釁你。你會親眼看到這就是運作的方式。

Balanced forces will quickly cool your smouldering coals. And pendulums, having sensed your importance will immediately try to provoke you. You will see for yourself that this is how it works.

不要讓獲得冷靜意志的失敗嘗試讓你擔心或不安。人們非常習慣將他們的能量不太多地引導向他們的目標，而是向擺錘（Pendulum）的餵養。最終，你會學會區分決心和意志。擁有的意志是冷靜、無情感的意圖去獲取無可置疑屬於你的東西。說“我絕對充滿決心要從郵箱中取出郵件”聽起來不奇怪嗎？你必須像平靜而不強求地從郵箱中取出郵件一樣行使你的選擇權。

Do not let unsuccessful attempts to acquire dispassionate will worry or upset you. People are very used to channelling their energy not so much towards their goals as towards the feed for pendulums. Eventually, you will learn to differentiate between decisiveness and will. The will to have is the dispassionate, unemotional intention to take what is unquestionably yours. Does not it sound weird to say: “I am absolutely full of decisiveness to get the post from the letter- box”? You must exercise your right to choose just as calmly and uninsistently as you would retrieve your post from the letter box.

在生活中，人們總是需要參加測試、考試、比賽和各種個人評估，但擁有的意志僅取決於你自己。你是你自己的考官。你給自己的任何分數通常反映出你相信自己無能和不配，或認為目標不切實際。人們自動這樣做，出於習慣。你所要做的就是允許自己擁有其他正在發生的事情。這當然是陌生的，但為什麼不敢嘗試並允許自己擁有呢？牛頓的和其他人的蘋果可能會掉到地上，但讓你的掉到天空。你可能拼命希望獲得擁有的意志，但仍然放棄渴望。夠了渴望；你無論如何都會得到你需要的東西。只需考慮取走已經屬於你的東西。冷靜地取走，不要要求或堅持，心中想著：如果我想要它，那有什麼問題？我會擁有它。

In life people are always having to take tests, exams, take part in contests, and all sorts of personal assessments but the will to have depends only on yourself. You are your own examiner. Any mark you give yourself is usually a reflection either of the belief that you are incapable and unworthy, or that the goal is unrealistic. People do this automatically, out of habit. All you have to do is allow yourself to have whatever else is happening. It is unfamiliar of course, but why not dare to try it and allow yourself to have. Newton’s and anyone else’s apples may fall to the ground but let yours fall to the sky. You might desperately wish to acquire the will to have but nonetheless, abandon desire. Enough of desiring; you are going to get what you need anyway. Just think about taking what already belongs to you. Take it calmly without demanding or insisting with the thought of: If want it, what is the problem? I will have it”
