圖像化目標

Visualising the Goal

1/12

Transurfing 所提倡的實現個人目標的方法,超越了常識與傳統世界觀的框架。在所有已知非常規方法中,將目標圖像化與 Transurfing 方法有最多的共同點。圖像化(Visualisation)是指運用想像力,儘可能詳盡地在腦海中勾勒出目標的形象,並持續將這幅圖景保留在心中。

The Transurfing methods proposed for reaching personal goals lie beyond the realms of common sense and conventional worldview. Of all known unconventional methods, visualising one’s goals has most in common with the methods of Transurfing. Visualisation involves using the imagination to create a mental picture of a goal in as much detail as possible and carrying the picture in your mind.

傳統世界觀認為圖像化只是在浪費時間。的確,只有行走在道路上,才能真正縮短彼此之間的距離,而不是坐著醉心於白日夢中。然而,想像出目標的心象,其決定性權重與實際完成目標的過程相當,原因你已經瞭解。只靠走路的人只能取得平均水平的結果,過著與他人無異的生活,僅僅為常識的宏偉做出微不足道的貢獻。相比之下,手握 Transurfing 方法的朝聖者,能夠取得那些常識只能試圖以「運氣」、「偶然」或命運中那「被選中的少數」來解釋的成果。

The conventional worldview would say that visualisation is a waste of time. It is true that distance is covered by the one who walks the road and not by the one who sits around lost in daydreams. However, imagining a mental picture of the goal has the same deciding weight as the actual process of achieving it for reasons you are already aware of. The one who simply walks the road will achieve average results and live the same life as everyone else making their own fine contribution to the majesty of common sense. In contrast, the pilgrim who has the methods of Transurfing at their disposal is capable of achieving the kind of results that common sense can only attempt to explain grasping at the notions of ‘luck’, ‘coincidence’, and fate’s ‘chosen few’.

從常識的角度看,Transurfing 似乎將一切顛倒過來;而從 Transurfing 的角度看,常識同樣也被顛覆。如果你不願意過著與眾不同的生活;如果你不滿足於平庸的成就;如果你渴望完整體驗生命,那麼你便是那位朝聖者。在 Transurfing 中,朝聖者並非只是幸運女神 (Wave of fortune) 的寵兒,相反地,幸運女神 (Wave of fortune) 正是朝聖者的選擇 (Choice)。只要你能夠推翻那堅不可摧的常識巨石,就能實現你所渴望的一切。但這並非意謂著你要浮在雲端;恰恰相反,這意味著你必須回歸現實,腳踏實地,因為我們所稱的常識大多並非如此。你或許已多次體會到這一真理,還有許多非凡的觀念正等待著你去發掘。

From the point of view of common sense, Transurfing seems to turn everything on its head. The same of course can be said of common sense from the point of view of Transurfing. If you do not want to live like everyone else; if you do not want to be content with mediocre achievements; if you strive to experience life to the maximum then you are a Pilgrim. In Transurfing the Pilgrim is not lady fortune’s chosen one. On the contrary, lady fortune is the Pilgrim’s choice. You can achieve anything you want if you succeed in toppling the monolith of common sense. This does not mean floating in the clouds; quite the opposite, it means coming back to earth and grounding because the majority of what we call common sense is nothing of the kind. You will have seen the truth of this several times already and many more unusual ideas await you yet.

我們仍需回答一個問題:為什麼圖像化並不總能帶來預期的成果。即便是那些執著於另類心理學和一切神祕事物的追隨者,也無法完全依賴圖像化來獲得成功。各種圖像化技術層出不窮,從相當簡單到複雜程度不一,它們的成功率各異。時而奏效,時而失靈。像我一樣,你可能會對這種可靠性不甚滿意,因此我要事先向你保證,Transurfing 中所使用的技術稍有不同。只要按照 Transurfing 的規則練習,這套圖像化技術絕對不會讓你失望。

We still need to answer the question of why visualisation does not always bring about the desired result. Even dedicated followers of alternative psychology and all things esoteric cannot totally depend on visualisation for success. Various visualisation techniques exist, ranging from quite simple to more complex versions and they all work to varying degrees of success. Sometimes they work and sometimes they do not. Like me you may find this level of reliability unsatisfactory and so I would like to reassure you from the outset that the technique used in Transurfing is slightly different. As long as it is practiced according to the rules Transurfing offers a no-fail visualisation technique.

常見的圖像化技術大致可分為三種。第一種是夢境;從實際操作的角度來看,這是最薄弱、最不可靠的一種圖像化形式。夢境無妨,但就轉化效果而言,它幾乎毫無用處。夢想永遠不會成真!通常,喜歡幻想的人並不真正期望自己的夢境會實現。他們也許表面上這麼想,但深層卻不是那麼相信,或者他們缺乏「擁有」與「行動」的意圖 (Intention)。夢想者看待夢境,就如同凝望遠方的星辰一般;當你提到天空中的城堡時,他們就會像蠔殼緊閉般收斂,低聲道:「別打擾我的夢!」當你用更精確的方式定義夢想者的目標時,你會發現,這其實僅僅是夢想的過程而已。

There are three common types of visualisation technique. The first type is the dream. From a practical point of view this is the weakest and most unreliable form of visualisation. There is no harm in dreaming but in terms of transformation it is fairly useless. Dreams do not come true! As a rule, those who love to fantasize are not actually expecting their dream to be realized. They might think they do but deep down they either do not believe it is really possible or they lack the intent to have and act. Dreamers look at their dreams in the same way as they gaze at the distant stars. When you hint to them of castles in the sky they close up like an oyster clamps its shells shut: “Leave my dream alone!” When you define the goal of the dreamer with more precision you find that it is in fact just the process of dreaming and nothing more.

第二種圖像化方式猶如觀看電影。我說的電影並不是在電影院裡觀看的那種,而是指人們在腦海中根據自己的渴望所「播放」的影片。這與僅僅做夢不同,因為這一過程是有意識啟動的。這裡蘊含著「擁有」與「行動」的意圖 (Intention),人們會像觀看電影一樣,將實現渴望的過程在腦中展現出來。譬如,你想擁有自己的房子,那麼你會以各種方式、以最細緻的程度在腦中構想出夢想中的房子,遵循圖像化的各項規則。你的心中或許會有一個十分清晰的房子形象,每天牢牢地在心眼中保留這幅圖像。

The second type of visualisation is the film. I do not mean the kind of film one watches at the cinema but the kind of film people watch in their mind in relation to their desires. This is different to simply dreaming because the process is initiated consciously. There is the intent to have and to act and one action undertaken includes visualising the realization of your desire as if you were watching a film. For example, you want to have your own house and so you imagine the house of your dreams in all sorts of different ways and in all its detail, i.e. according to all the rules of visualisation. In your mind you will probably have a very clear picture of what the house looks like and will hold the image in your mind’s eye every day.

如果你能完美地完成這一任務,你原本以為渴望會馬上具現,結果卻發現你依然看到那幅形象,甚至與你所想像的房子幾乎一模一樣,可惜它並不真正屬於你。那僅僅是一棟屬於他人的房子,因為你只是依照訂單行事。如果你全心全意地圖像化你的完美房子,但卻沒有告訴「服務生」這房子是屬於你的,那麼「服務生」自然會完美地執行你的訂單。你最終可能過於著迷於圖像化過程的品質,就像某些書中所教的那樣,以致忘卻了最重要的一點:究竟誰才是房子的主人。這正是大多數人在實施此類圖像化時常犯的關鍵錯誤。那部影片只不過停留在銀幕上,你永遠無法融入其中,最終只能像乞丐般凝視著店櫥窗裡的景象。

If you fulfil this task perfectly you would expect the desire to materialize but, guess what, you will see much the same or exactly the same house that you imagined but it will not actually belong to you. It will be a house that belongs to someone else because you get what you order. If you work conscientiously on visualising your perfect house but do not explain to the ‘waiter’ that the house belongs to you, the ‘waiter’ will simply carry out your order perfectly. You can end up being so busy with the quality of the visualisation process, like they teach in the books on the subject, that you forget about the most important thing: who owns the house. This is the key mistake most people make when they practice this type of visualisation. The film remains a film they will never participate in. They end up staring at it like a beggar stares into a shop window!

第三種圖像化方式則不同,這種方式中,你不僅僅是觀察影片,而是積極參與其中。這種圖像化十分有效,因為當你在已圖像化的內容中扮演一個積極角色時,你就將自己的思緒能量(注意:思緒能量指的是你用於達成目標的心理能量)設定在與之相應的生命線 (Life line) 上。例如,如果你的目標是擁有新家,僅僅在心中觀看它,就像欣賞一幅畫,是毫無意義的。你必須創造一種虛擬的清醒夢境:走進那房子,穿梭於各個房間,觸碰那裡的一切;坐到壁爐對面的扶手椅上,感受那舒適溫暖及煙火的氣味;放幾根木柴進火爐;走進廚房,打開冰箱看看裡面有什麼;躺在舒適的床上,就像真的睡了一覺。你感覺放鬆了嗎?與家人圍坐餐桌,舉辦暖屋派對,調整家具佈局,走到花園觸摸那綠意盎然、柔軟怡人的草地;種上一些你喜愛的花朵;從樹上摘下一個蘋果品嚐。把這裡當作你的家,因為它已是你的。切莫以一個困苦夢想者、對它敬畏而視之的角度來看待;而應該認為它既是真實的,又觸手可及。

In the third type of visualisation the person plays a role in the film rather than simply observing it. This type of visualisation is much more effective. By playing an active role in the visualised material you set the parameters of your thought energy to the corresponding life line. For example, if your goal is to have a new home there is no point in looking at it in your thoughts as you would at a painting. Create a kind of virtual waking dream. Enter the house, walk through the rooms touching things as you go; sink into an armchair across from the fireplace and feel the cosy warmth and smell of smoke; put a couple of logs on the fire; go into the kitchen, take a look in the fridge to see what you can find. Go to sleep in a comfortable bed. Do you feel relaxed? Sit at the table with your family. Have a house warming party. Move the furniture around. Touch the grass in the garden noticing how green and soft it is. Plant some flowers. What are your favourite? Pick an apple from the tree and eat it. Make yourself at home because it is your home. Do not look at it with the eyes of a suffering dreamer, with awe as if it were something unavailable or some distant prospect. The house is already yours; act as if it were real.

如你所知,上述圖像化正代表著一個幻燈片 (Slide)。這種幻燈片 (Slide) 會幫助你拓寬舒適區,隨著時間推移一定會具現於物質現實,儘管具體何時無從預料。你可能需要等待很久,這完全取決於你如何運用這個幻燈片 (Slide)。如果你只是一時玩玩然後就忘記,那麼成功的希望就寥寥無幾;事實上,真沒有所謂的奇蹟。

As you know, the visualisation described above represents a slide. This kind of slide will widen your comfort zone and with time is sure to be materialized although when exactly no-one can say. You may have to wait a long time. It all depends on how you work with the slide. If all you do is play with it for a while and then forget about it you will not have much to hope for; there really are no miracles.


10/12

當你運用幻燈片 (Slide) 時,記住幾點非常重要。首先,如果你對目標失去了熱情,那幻燈片 (Slide) 就會逐漸消散;而若你不得不強迫自己去追求一個目標,你很快就會厭倦。因此,此時應該反省自己是否真的需要這個幻燈片 (Slide)。其次,須知外在意圖 (Outer intention) 並不會馬上讓幻燈片 (Slide) 現形,它會逐步拉近你與對應生命線 (Life line) 的距離,這需要耐心與毅力。

It is important to remember the following points when working with a slide. Firstly, if you lose passion for your goal it will dissipate and if you have to force yourself to work with a goal you will soon become fed up of it. If this is the case you should ask yourself whether you really need the slide or not. Secondly, it is worth remembering that outer intention does not manifest slides straight away. It gradually brings you closer to the targeted life lines. It requires patience and perseverance.


11/12

毅力在初期階段至關重要,一旦圖像化幻燈片 (Slide) 成為你的習慣,你便不再需要強迫自己記得進行這項練習。最後,若該目標本身並非你個人的夢想,而只是與擺錘 (Pendulum) 糾纏在一起的產物,那你將無法產生達到心靈與心智合一 (Unity of heart and mind) 所需的狀態。這一點我們會在接下來的章節中詳細討論。如果你全心全意追求目標,那麼圖像化幻燈片 (Slide) 一定會帶來成果;當你真正擁有「擁有」的意志時,外在意圖 (Outer intention) 自會尋得實現目標的方法。

Perseverance is essential only in the initial stages. Once visualising the slide becomes a habit you will not have to force yourself to remember to do the exercise. Finally, if the goal itself is not your personal goal but a goal mixed up with pendulums you will not be able to generate the necessary state of unity between heart and mind required to achieve it. We will talk more about this in the forthcoming chapters. If you strive towards your goal with all your heart, then visualisation of the slide will definitely bring results. When you acquire the genuine will to have, outer intention will find a way of realizing your goal.


12/12

如果你認為幻燈片 (Slide) 就代表 Transurfing 中整套圖像化的方法,那你就大錯特錯了。即使是最高品質的幻燈片 (Slide) 也可能需要很長時間才能具現,特別是當目標位於你當前生命線 (Life line) 相對較遠的替代空間 (Alternatives space) 區塊中。不過,透過 Transurfing 的圖像化技術,達成目標的過程可以加速進行。很快你就會明白這技術究竟是什麼。

If you think the slide represents the entire method of visualisation in Transurfing you are mistaken. Even a slide of the highest quality can take a long time to materialize, particularly if the goal lies in a fairly remote sector of the alternatives space in relation to your current life line. The process of reaching the goal however, can be quickened with the help of the Transurfing visualisation technique. Soon you will learn what this is.
