金錢

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.
5/13
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.
8/13
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.
9/13
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.
10/13
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.

幾乎不可能避免對金錢的依賴關係,因為很難在不想要更多的情況下愛錢。所有人能做的就是試圖將依賴的方面限制到最低限度。如果錢來到你身邊,請感到高興,但永遠不要因為沒有足夠的錢或花錢而自尋煩惱,否則你會越來越少。如果一個人賺的錢不多,他們可能犯了抱怨永遠不夠的錯誤,因為這種類型的思想能量的參數對應於沒有財富的"生命線"(life lines)。
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.
2/13
特別危險的是屈服於收入逐漸減少的焦慮。恐懼是人類可以體驗到的能量最強烈的情感,因此當一個人害怕失去錢或賺不到足夠的錢時,他們會啟動最有效的方法,將自己轉移到錢越來越少的"生命線"(life lines)上。擺脫金錢陷阱很困難,但可以做到。首先必須消除過剩潛力的原因,這要麼是對金錢的強烈依賴,要麼是對金錢的強烈渴望。
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.

從接受和享受你已經擁有的開始。記住,事情總是可能更糟。你不必完全停止想要金錢,但你可以放鬆對於金錢不是像湍急的河流一樣湧入的事實。採取賭徒的立場,他隨時可能中頭獎,也可能失去一切。
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"鐘擺"(Pendulums)來說,金錢是獎勵其追隨者的普遍手段。正是"鐘擺"(Pendulums)的活動導致了金錢的廣泛偶像化。金錢幫助我們在物質世界中提供良好的生活。幾乎任何東西都可以買賣。所有"鐘擺"(Pendulums)都使用金錢作為支付手段,這其中隱藏著危險。接受了虛假的閃亮誘餌,很容易轉移到遠離真正幸福的"生命線"(life lines)。
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.

在追求自己的利益時,"鐘擺"(Pendulums)創造了這樣的神話:為了實現你的目標,你必須擁有金錢。結果,人們用金錢的人工替代品取代了他們的原始目標。金錢可以從不同的"鐘擺"(Pendulums)中獲得,因此人們將重點從目標轉移到金錢上,並受到與他們無關的"鐘擺"(Pendulums)的影響。然後,人們失去了對生活中真正想要的東西的感覺,專注於徒勞地尋找金錢。
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.

這種情況對"鐘擺"(Pendulums)來說非常有利,但對於變得依賴並迷失方向的個人來說並不有利。沒有人會在為一個在其真正目的之外運作的"鐘擺"(Pendulum)工作中賺到很多錢,因為他們只是最終為別人的目標服務。許多人正是處於這種情況。這就是財富是少數人的特權這一神話的由來。實際上,如果他們服務於自己的目標,任何人都可以變得富有。
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.

金錢不是目標,也不是真正達到目標的手段。它只是一個伴隨的屬性。目標是人們在生活中真正想要的東西,例如擁有自己的房子並種植玫瑰;環遊世界並訪問遙遠的地方;在阿拉斯加釣鱒魚;在阿爾卑斯山滑雪;在自己的農場養馬;在自己的海洋島嶼上享受生活;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.

確實,如果你有一袋錢,某些目標可以實現,所以這就是大多數人所做的;他們追求那袋錢。通過專注於金錢,他們將目標本身放在次要位置。根據Transurfing的原則,這就像試圖進入一條有一袋錢等待的"生命線"(life line),但你發現幾乎不可能到達那裡,因為你在為別人的"鐘擺"(Pendulum)工作。最終,這個人在金錢和自己的目標上都失敗了,因為他們的思想能量專注於他們真正目的的替代品。
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.

我們將在“目標與門”(Goals and Doors)一章中回到這個問題。現在我們可以得出一個普遍的結論,即如果你將實現目標的可能性放在先致富的條件上,請快速放棄這個條件。讓我們舉個例子。如果你的夢想是環遊世界,那麼顯然這需要很多錢。要實現你的夢想,不要考慮金錢;將你的思想集中在原始目標上。金錢會來找你,因為它是目標的伴隨屬性。這真的很簡單。我知道這聽起來不太可能,但這確實是事情的運作方式,很快你就會自己意識到這一點。在追求自己的目的時,"鐘擺"(Pendulums)顛倒了一切。不是目標是靠金錢實現的,而是當你創造通往目標的道路時,金錢隨之而來。
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.

現在你可以看到"鐘擺"(Pendulums)有多大的影響力,以及有多少種子被播下,形成了神話和誤解。讀到這些行,您可能會反對,顯然一個人首先成為大型工業家或銀行家或電影明星,然後他們成為百萬富翁。確實,那些成為百萬富翁的人是那些不考慮財富而是追隨自己目標的人。大多數人則反其道而行之。他們要麼服務於別人的目標,用人工替代品取代自己的目標,要麼完全放棄自己的夢想,因為必須先致富的條件似乎無法實現。
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.

實際上,財富是沒有限制的。你可以想要任何你想要的東西。如果它真的是屬於你的,你會得到它。如果目標是由"鐘擺"(Pendulum)強加給你的,你將無法到達任何地方。我們稍後會更詳細地討論目標。我有點急於求成,但這是不可避免的,因為關於金錢沒有其他可說的。金錢不過是通往目標的道路上的一個伴隨屬性。不要擔心金錢,它會自然而然地來找你。現在最重要的是將資本的重要性(Importance)降到最低,以免創造過剩潛力。只想著你想要實現的事情。
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.

同時,你應該對金錢保持謹慎,並小心對待它。如果你在街上看到一枚小硬幣,卻懶得撿起來,這表明你根本不尊重金錢。如果你對金錢的屬性掉以輕心,金錢的"鐘擺"(Pendulum)很難對你有好感。
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
你也不應該擔心花錢,因為這是實現你使命的必要部分。如果你已經決定在某件事情上花錢,就不要後悔。當你試圖存下一大筆錢並儘量少花時,你會創造強大的過剩潛力,因為能量已經在一個地方積累。在這種情況下,你很可能會失去一切。金錢應該明智地花費,以保持流動,因為潛力出現在沒有能量流動的地方。富人支持慈善事業是有充分理由的,因為這減少了他們積累財富的過剩潛力。
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.

幾乎不可能避免對金錢的依賴關係 (Dependent Relationships),因為很難愛金錢而不想要更多。你能做的只是試圖將依賴的面向降到最低。如果金錢來到你身邊,感到快樂,但永遠不要因為沒有足夠的金錢或花費它而過分擔憂,否則你會越來越少。如果一個人賺的錢不多,他們可能犯了抱怨永遠不夠的錯誤,因為這種思想能量的參數對應於沒有財富的人生線 (Life Line)。

對收入逐漸減少的焦慮尤其危險。恐懼是人類能體驗到的最具能量強度的情感,因此當一個人害怕失去金錢或賺不到足夠的金錢時,他們啟動了最有效的方法,將自己轉移到真的越來越少金錢的人生線 (Life Line)。從金錢陷阱中解放出來很困難,但可以做到。首先必須消除過剩潛能 (Excess Potential) 的原因,這要么是對金錢的強烈依賴,要么是對擁有金錢的強烈渴望。
It is particularly dangerous to give in to an anxiety that your income is gradually decreasing.

金錢不是目標 (Goals and Doors),甚至也不是實現目標的手段。它只是一個伴隨屬性。目標是一個人在生活中真正想要的東西,比如擁有自己的房子並種植玫瑰;環遊世界,參觀遙遠的地方;在阿拉斯加釣鱒魚;在阿爾卑斯山滑雪;在自己的農場養馬;在自己的海洋島嶼上享受生活;成為電影明星或藝術家。

我們將在“目標與門 (Goals and Doors)”一章中回到這個問題。現在我們可以得出一個總體結論,如果你將實現目標的可能性置於首先變富有的條件上,趕快放棄這個條件。舉個例子。如果你的夢想是環遊世界,顯然這需要很多錢。為了實現你的夢想,不要想著錢;保持你的思想在原始目標上。金錢會來到你身邊,因為它是一個伴隨目標的屬性。這真的很簡單。我知道這聽起來不太可能,但事情真的是這樣運作的,很快你會自己意識到這一點。為了追求自己的目的,擺錘 (Pendulum) 將一切顛倒了。不是用金錢實現目標,而是當你創造通往目標的路徑時,金錢隨之而來。
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.

現在你可以看到擺錘 (Pendulum) 的影響有多強大,以及為神話和誤解播下了多少種子。讀到這些文字,你可能會反對說,顯然一個人首先成為大工業家、銀行家或電影明星,然後才成為百萬富翁。確實,那些成為百萬富翁的人是那些不考慮財富而專注於追求自己目標 (Goals and Doors) 的人。大多數人思考和行動相反。他們要么服務於他人的目標,用人為替代品取代自己的目標,要么因為必須首先變富有的條件似乎無法實現而完全放棄自己的夢想。
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.

實際上,財富沒有限制。你可以渴望任何你想要的東西。如果它真的是你的,你會得到它。如果目標是由擺錘 (Pendulum) 強加給你的,你不會有任何進展。我們將在後面更詳細地討論目標。我有點超前了,但這是不可避免的,因為關於金錢沒有什麼可說的了。金錢只是通往你目標的伴隨屬性。不要擔心金錢,它會自己來到你身邊。現在最重要的是將資本的重要性 (Importance) 降到最低,以免創造過剩潛能 (Excess Potential)。只思考你希望實現的東西。
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小心對待。如果你在街上看到一枚小硬幣,卻懶得去撿起來,這表明你根本不尊重金錢。如果你對金錢的屬性粗心大意,金錢擺錘 (Pendulum) 很難對你友好。
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
你也不應該擔心花錢,因為這是實現你使命的必要部分。如果你決定在某事上花錢,不要後悔。當你試圖存一大筆錢並盡可能少花費時,你會創造強烈的過剩潛能 (Excess Potential),因為能量在一個地方積聚。在這種情況下,你很可能會失去一切。金錢應該明智地花費以保持流動,因為潛能出現在能量沒有流動的地方。富人支持慈善事業是有原因的,因為它減少了他們積累財富的過剩潛能。
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.
錢
Money

幾乎不可能避免對金錢的依賴關係,因為很難愛上金錢而不想要更多。人們所能做的就是盡量將依賴的方面限制到最低限度。如果金錢來到你身邊,那就高興吧,但永遠不要因為沒有足夠的錢或花錢而自殺,否則你會越來越少。如果一個人賺的錢不多,他們可能會犯下抱怨自己從來不夠的錯誤,因為這類思維能量的參數對應於沒有財富的生命線。
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.

屈服於收入逐漸減少的焦慮是特別危險的。恐懼代表了人類可以經歷的最強烈的情感,因此當一個人害怕失去金錢或賺不到足夠的錢時,他們啟動了轉移到真正擁有越來越少金錢的生命線的最有效方法。擺脫金錢陷阱是困難的,但可以做到。首先必須消除過剩潛力的原因,這可能是對金錢的強烈依賴,或者是對金錢的強烈渴望。
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.

從接受和享受你已經擁有的開始。記住,事情總是可能變得更糟。你不必完全停止想要金錢,但你可以放鬆對金錢不會像奔流的河流那樣湧入的事實的焦慮。採取賭徒的立場,他隨時可能同樣輕易地中獎或失去一切。
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.

對於擺錘來說,金錢是獎勵其追隨者的普遍手段。擺錘的活動導致了金錢的廣泛偶像崇拜。金錢幫助我們在物質世界中提供良好的生活。幾乎任何東西都可以被買賣。所有擺錘都使用金錢作為支付方式,而這其中隱藏著危險。被虛假的閃亮餌吸引後,很容易轉向一條遠離你真正幸福的生命線。
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.
5/13
在追求自身利益的過程中,擺錘創造了這樣一個神話:為了實現你的目標,你必須擁有金錢。因此,人們用金錢這一人為替代品取代了他們最初的目標。金錢可以從不同的擺錘中獲得,因此人們將焦點從目標轉移到金錢,並受到一個與他們無關的擺錘的影響。人們隨之失去了對生活真正想要的東西的感知,專注於無果的金錢追尋。
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.

這種情況對擺錘來說是非常有利的,但對於成為依賴者並失去方向的個體卻不太有利。沒有人會在為一個不在其真正目的背景下運作的擺錘工作時賺到很多錢,因為他們最終只是服務於別人的目標。許多人正生活在這種情況中。這就是為什麼出現了財富是少數人的特權的神話。事實上,任何人都可以變得富有,只要他們服務於自己的目標。
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
金錢既不是目標,也不是真正達到目標的手段。它只是一種附屬屬性。目標是人們在生活中真正想要的東西,比如擁有自己的房子和種玫瑰;環遊世界和造訪遙遠的地方;在阿拉斯加釣鱒魚;在阿爾卑斯山滑雪;在自己的農場養馬;在自己的海洋島嶼上享受生活;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.
8/13
的確,某些目標可以在擁有一袋金錢的情況下實現,因此大多數人都是這樣做的;他們追求那袋金錢。通過專注於金錢,他們將目標本身擱置一旁。根據轉化的原則,這就像試圖進入一條等待著一袋金錢的生命線,但你發現幾乎不可能到達那裡,因為你在為別人的擺錘工作。最終,這個人不僅失去了金錢,還失去了自己的目標,因為他們的思維能量專注於替代品,而非他們真正的目的。
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.

我們將在“目標與門”一章中回到這個問題。現在我們可以得出一個總體結論,那就是如果你將實現目標的可能性建立在先致富的條件上,請迅速放下這個條件。讓我們舉個例子。如果你的夢想是環遊世界,那麼顯然這需要很多錢。為了實現你的夢想,不要考慮金錢;將你的思想集中在原始目標上。金錢會自然而然地來到你身邊,因為它是目標的伴隨屬性。這真的非常簡單。我知道這聽起來不太可能,但事情就是這樣運作,很快你會自己意識到。在追求自己的目標時,擺動的力量將一切顛倒過來。不是說目標是靠金錢實現的,而是金錢隨著你創造通往目標的道路而來。

現在你可以看到擺動的力量有多麼強大,以及為神話和誤解播下了多少種子。讀到這些文字時,你可能會反駁,顯然一個人首先成為大型工業家或銀行家或電影明星,然後才會成為百萬富翁。事實上,成為百萬富翁的人是那些不考慮財富而是追隨自己目標的人。大多數人則思考和行動的方向正好相反。他們要麼服務於他人的目標,用人為的替代品取代自己的目標,要麼因為必須先致富的條件似乎無法實現而完全放棄自己的夢想。

實際上,對於財富並不存在限制。你可以渴望任何你想要的東西。如果它真的屬於你,你將會得到它。如果這個目標是擺動的力量強加給你的,你將無法走到任何地方。我們稍後會更詳細地談論目標。我有點急於求成,但這是不可避免的,因為關於金錢沒有其他可說的。金錢不過是通往你目標的伴隨屬性。不要擔心金錢,它會自然而然地來到你身邊。現在最重要的是將資本的重要性降到最低,以免你創造出過多的潛能。只需思考你希望實現的事情。

同時,你應該對金錢保持警覺,並小心對待。如果你在街上看到一枚小硬幣,卻懶得撿起來,這表明你根本不尊重金錢。如果你粗心大意地對待金錢的屬性,金錢的擺動力量不會對你有好感。
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.

你也不應該擔心花錢,因為這是實現你使命的必要部分。如果你已經決定在某件事情上花錢,就不要後悔。當你試圖儲蓄一筆可觀的金額並盡量少花錢時,你會創造出強大的過多潛能,因為能量在一個地方積累。在這種情況下,你很可能會失去一切。金錢應該明智地花費,以保持流動,因為潛能出現在沒有能量流動的地方。富人支持慈善事業是有充分理由的,因為這減少了他們積累財富的過多潛能。
