金錢

Money

1/13

對金錢產生依賴性關係 (Dependent relationships) 幾乎無法避免,因為人很難在愛錢的同時不不斷渴求更多。你所能做的,僅是試圖將這種依賴性降到最低。如果金錢降臨於你,應該感到慶幸;但絕不要因此自我折磨,憂慮金錢不足或過度花費,否則你只會越來越缺錢。若一個人收入微薄,他們常常因思維能量的參數與那些一無所有的生命線 (Life line) 相對應而抱怨金錢永遠不夠。

It is almost impossible to avoid a dependent relationship on money because it is very hard to love money without wanting more of it. All one can do is attempt to limit the aspect of dependency to a minimum. Be happy if money has come to you but never kill yourself worrying about not having enough money, or spending it, otherwise you will have less and less of it. If a person does not earn much money they probably make the mistake of complaining that they never have enough because the parameters of this type of thought energy correspond to life lines in which there is no wealth.

特別危險的是,當你過度焦慮收入漸漸減少時。恐懼是一種極具能量強度的情感,所以當你害怕失去金錢或認為賺得不夠時,你便會激活一種極有效的方法,使你跳轉到那些你真實上金錢越來越少的生命線 (Life line) 上。擺脫金錢陷阱並不容易,但的確可以做到。首先,必須消除過剩潛能 (Exceed potential) 的根源,這可能是因對金錢的強烈依賴性,或是對金錢過於強烈的渴求所致。

It is particularly dangerous to give in to an anxiety that your income is gradually decreasing. Fear represents the most energetically intense emotion a human being can experience and so when a person fears losing money or not earning enough money they activate the most effective method there is for shifting to life lines where they really do have less and less money. Freeing oneself from the money trap is difficult but it can be done. First the cause of the excess potential has to be eliminated, which will either be strong dependency on money, or a very intense desire to have money.

請先學著接受並享受你現有的金錢,記住情況總可能更糟。你不必完全停止追求金錢,但可以放寬心態,接受金錢不會如同洪水般蜂擁而至。就像那位賭徒,隨時可能中大獎,也可能傾家蕩產。

Start by accepting and enjoying what you already have. Remember that things could always be worse. You do not have to stop wanting money entirely but you can relax about the fact that it is not rolling in with the force of a gushing river. Take the position of the gambler who could at any moment just as easily hit the jackpot as lose everything.

對於擺錘 (Pendulum) 者來說,金錢是一種普遍的獎勵手段,用以嘉許他們的追隨者。正是擺錘 (Pendulum) 的運作,讓金錢被廣泛神化。金錢能幫助我們在物質世界中創造美好生活,幾乎萬物皆可買賣。所有的擺錘 (Pendulum) 都把金錢當作「支付方式」,而其中隱藏的危險在於:一旦你誤入那虛假閃爍的誘惑,很容易便會被引至一條與你真實幸福相去甚遠的生命線 (Life line) 上。

For pendulums, money is a universal means of rewarding their adherents. It is the activity of pendulums that has led to the widespread idolization of money. Money helps us to provide a good life for ourselves in the material world. Almost anything can be bought and sold. All pendulums use money as payment and there is a hidden danger in this. Having taken the falsely glittering bait it is easy to switch to a life line that lies far away from your true happiness.

在追求自身利益的過程中,擺錘 (Pendulum) 製造出一種神話,宣稱要達成目標,你必須擁有金錢。結果,人們便用金錢這個人工替代物取代了原始的目標。金錢可從各種擺錘 (Pendulum) 中獲得,這使得人們將注意力從真正的目標轉向金錢,最終淪入一個與自己無關的擺錘 (Pendulum) 影響之中,失去對生活真正渴求的感知,並只沉迷於對金錢的無盡追求。

In pursuing their own interests, pendulums have created the myth that in order to achieve your goals you have to have money. As a result, people replace their original goal with the artificial substitute of money. Money can be gained from different pendulums and so people shift their focus from the goal to money and come under the influence of a pendulum that is alien to them. People then lose a sense of what they really want from life and focus on the fruitless search for money.


6/13

這種狀況對擺錘 (Pendulum) 來說極為有利,但對於那些陷入依賴性關係 (Dependent relationships) 並迷失自我的個體卻毫無裨益。沒有人能夠從一個脫離自身真實目標運作的擺錘 (Pendulum) 身上賺取大錢,因為最終你只是在服務他人的目的。許多人正處於這樣的狀態,這也導致了「財富屬於少數人」的神話。實際上,只要你忠於自己的目標,任何人都有可能致富。

This state of affairs is very profitable for the pendulum but not so profitable for the individual who becomes dependent and loses their way. No-one will ever make a lot of money working for a pendulum that functions outside of the context of their true purpose because they just end up serving someone else’s objective. A lot of people live in exactly this position. This is how the myth arose that wealth is the privilege of the minority. In actual fact anyone can become rich if they serve their own goals.


7/13

金錢既不是終極目標,也並非實現目標必不可少的手段,它僅僅是作為一個附帶屬性存在。真正的目標,是你在生活中真正渴望的,例如擁有自己的房屋、種滿玫瑰;環遊世界、探索異國風情;在阿拉斯加釣鱒魚;在阿爾卑斯山滑雪;在自家農場養馬;在屬於自己的海島上享受生活;甚至成為電影明星或藝術家。

Money is not the goal nor is it really even the means to reaching the goal. It is simply an accompanying attribute. The goal is what a person really wants in life such as to have their own house and grow roses; travel the world and visit faraway places; catch trout in Alaska; go skiing in the Alps; raise horses on their own farm; enjoy life on their own oceanic island; become a movie star or an artist.

的確,有些目標的實現需要一大筆金錢,這也是大多數人追逐金錢的原因。當你過分關注金錢時,你便會把原本的目標放在一旁。根據 Transurfing 的原則,這就像試圖登上一條金錢滿袋的生命線 (Life line),結果卻發現因為你在服務於他人的擺錘 (Pendulum) 而難以抵達。最終,你既得不到金錢,也無法實現真正的目標,因為你的思維能量只集中在那個替代品上,而忽略了本心所追求之事。

It is true that certain goals can be achieved if you have a sack of money so this is what the majority of people do; they go after that sack. By focusing on the money they put the goal itself on the back burner. According to the principles of Transurfing, this is like trying to get onto a life line where a sack of money awaits but you find it almost impossible to get there because you are working for someone else’s pendulum. In the end, the person loses out both on the money and their own goal because their thought energy is focused on a substitute for their true purpose.

我們稍後會在「目標與門 (Goals and doors)」一章中更詳細探討此議題。目前可以得出的普遍結論是:若你把實現目標的可能性建立在必須先變富的條件上,應儘快撇清這個前提。舉例而言,若你的夢想是環遊世界,當然需要大量金錢;但為了實現夢想,不應讓金錢成為執念,而應專注於原始目標。金錢作為目標的附屬屬性,最終會自然而然地流向你。雖聽來似乎難以置信,但事實確就是如此,你很快便會親身體驗。擺錘 (Pendulum) 在追求自身利益的過程中顛覆了一切:並非金錢促成目標,而是在你創造通路時,自然而然地隨之而來。

We will return to this issue in the chapter “Goals and Doors”. For now we can draw one general conclusion which is that if you have placed the likelihood of achieving your goal on the condition of getting rich first, drop the condition fast. Let us take an example. If your dream is to travel round the world then obviously this requires a lot of money. To fulfil you dream do not think about the money; keep your thoughts on the original goal. The money will come to you because it is an accompanying attribute to the goal. It is really very simple. It sounds unlikely I know but this is really how things work and soon you will realise that for yourself. In pursuing their own end, pendulums have turned everything upside down. It is not that the goal is achieved with the help of money but rather the money that follows on as you create the path to your goal.

現在你可以看出,擺錘 (Pendulum) 的影響力有多大,以及它們如何為各種神話與誤解播下種子。讀到這裡,你可能會反駁說:明明先成為大企業家、銀行家或影星,然後才能變成百萬富翁。事實上,真正能成為百萬富翁的,是那些不將財富作為終極目的,而是堅持追求自己目標的人;而大多數人卻恰恰相反,要麼替換了自己的夢想為他人目標的人工替代品,要麼徹底放棄了自己的夢想,因為「必須先變富」那條看似無法達到的前提令他們望而卻步。

Now you can see just what a powerful influence pendulums have and how many seeds have been sewn for myths and misunderstandings. Reading these lines you may object that it is obvious that first a person becomes a large industrialist or a banker or a film star and then they become a millionaire. It is true that those who become millionaires are those who think not of wealth but of following their own goal. The majority of people think and do the opposite. They either serve someone else’s goal, replacing their own with an artificial substitute, or renounce their own dream entirely because the condition of having to be rich first seems unachievable.


11/13

事實上,富有是沒有任何限制的。你可以渴望獲得任何事物,只要那真的是屬於你的,你最終會得到它。如果目標是由擺錘 (Pendulum) 強加給你的,那你就無法有所作為。我們稍後會更詳細地談論目標。也許我講得有點快,但有關金錢的內容實在無他可言。金錢只是一個附帶屬性,隨著你邁向目標自會出現。現在最重要的是,將資本的重要性 (Importance) 降至最低,以免創造過剩潛能 (Exceed potential);只需專注於你真正想要達成的事。

In actual fact there are no limitations to wealth. You can desire anything you want. If it is truly yours to have you will receive it. If the goal has been imposed upon you by a pendulum you will not get anywhere. We will talk about goals in more detail later. I am rushing ahead a little but that is unavoidable because there is not anything else to be said about money. Money is nothing more than an accompanying attribute on the path to your goal. Do not worry about money and it will come to you of its own accord. The most important thing now is to reduce the importance of capital to a minimum so that you do not create excess potential. Think only of the thing you wish to achieve.


12/13

同時,你應該對金錢保持關注並妥善照料它。如果你在街上看到一枚小硬幣卻懶得撿起,就暗示你對金錢缺乏應有的尊重。若你散發出對金錢屬性漫不經心的態度,那麼金錢擺錘 (Pendulum) 對你的青睞將大打折扣。

At the same time, you should be attentive to money and treat it carefully. If you see a small coin on the street and are too lazy to pick it up, it suggests that you do not respect money at all. The money pendulum will hardly be well disposed towards you if you treat its attributes carelessly.


13/13

你也不必過分擔心花錢,這本就是實現你使命的必要部分。若你決定為某件事花錢,就不要事後懊悔。當你拼命儲錢、極力節省時,能量便會在某處累積,產生強烈的過剩潛能 (Exceed potential);如此一來,你極有可能最終失去一切。金錢應明智地運用,以保持資金流動,因為能量無流動之處便會形成潛能。富人捐款支持慈善,正是因為這能降低他們累積財富的過剩潛能 (Exceed potential)。

Neither should you worry about spending money because this is a necessary part of fulfilling your mission. If you have made the decision to spend money on something have no regrets. When you try to save up a handsome sum and spend as little as possible you create strong excess potential because energy has been built up in one place. In this case it is highly likely that you could lose everything. Money should be spent wisely to keep a flow going as potential appears where there is no flow of energy. Wealthy people support charities with good reason as it reduces the excess potential of their accumulated wealth.
