第九章：負責任地運用科技
Chapter 9: Use Technology Responsibly
「人們認為人類科技已如此進步，若事實並非如此，倒令人覺得滑稽，但現實往往令人感到悲哀。是的，人類確實創造出了許多偉大的技術，並在科學上取得顯著的進展；然而，許多人卻錯以為所有這些成就意味著他們再也不需要上帝，認為自己已經超越了那些被視為原始的信仰。不幸的是，他們正因此放棄大量的真理與力量，因為他們以為非此即彼。」
“People think that humanity is so advanced. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Yes, humans have created a lot of great technology and made great advances in science. But so many people think that all of these achievements mean that they no longer need God. That they have progressed beyond what they think are primitive beliefs. The unfortunate thing is how much truth and power they are actually giving up because they think it has to be one or the other.”
「但我依然信仰上帝。」
“But I still believe in God.”
「那當然好。但就算如此，你仍未掌握下一個原則——那就是必須將科學與科技置於它應有的位置和角色。太多人讓科技主宰了他們的生活。對某些人來說，它僅僅是一種分散注意力、錯失更美好事物的藉口；而對其他人而言，則上癮成性。他們無條件地觀看、傾聽那些貶低靈性的內容，從不曾停下來自問：‘我真的應該看這個嗎？’或‘這到底對我有什麼影響？’
“Which is good, yes. But even then, you still haven’t mastered this next principle—the need to put science and technology in its proper place and role. Too many people let technology control their life. For some, it’s just a distraction from better things; for others, it’s an addiction. They’ll watch and listen to things that degrade their spirit without a second thought, never once pausing to ask, ‘Should I be watching this?’ or ‘How is this affecting me?’
「你可能會讓自己深陷於科技的世界，或者沉迷於科技所帶來的資訊，以致完全與一切靈性事物失去連結。這種情形就像某種藥物般，抑制了你理性思考與選擇（Choice）的能力。一旦到達那種境界，你便失去了與你自身更高頻率的連繫，亦即與上帝的聯繫。你會被留在一個孤獨而黑暗的虛空中，而那裡只充滿越來越低的頻率。」
“It’s possible to allow yourself to be buried so deep in technology, or what technology provides access to, that you can turn off that connection to spiritual things altogether. It can be as powerful as a drug that overrides your ability to reason and choose. When you reach that point, you no longer have a connection to your higher frequency, or to God. You will be left in a lonely, dark void where there are only lower and lower frequencies.”
「這聽起來真糟糕。」
“That sounds bad.” “See for yourself.”
我們停下腳步，我跟隨 Drake 的覺察，發現遠處有許多發光的球體，靠近我們正前往的那個巨大球狀物。那些球體大小堪比行星，但我能分辨出其中個別的人以及他們的行為。我見到他們在黑暗中徬徨，渴求著娛樂；有些人僅僅盯著自己的雙手，等待著神奇般的手機出現。他們如此執著於滿足那欲望，以至完全無法察覺那充滿光明、令人讚嘆的世界正等待在他們的視野之外。
We stopped, and I followed Drake’s awareness. I became aware of orbs of light in the distance, near the large sphere we were traveling to. They were as large as planets, but I was able to perceive individual people within them and what they were doing. I saw them wandering in dark places, yearning for entertainment. Some people were just staring at their own hands, hoping for a phone to materialize. They were so focused on filling that desire that they were completely unaware of the glorious world filled with light that waited just beyond their perception.
「你看，」Drake 繼續說道，「正如你所攝取的食物影響你的身體，你接收到的資訊也會影響你的靈魂。你所見、所聞、所說的一切，都會左右你凡人生命結束後靈魂的狀態。有些人會毫無保留地接納任何資訊，而科技正讓這種現象變得無處不在。」
“You see,” Drake continued. “Just as what you eat affects your body, the information you take in affects your soul. What you see, what you hear, what you say: all of these things influence the state of your soul when your mortal life is over. Some people will take in anything, and technology just makes it easier to do this all the time.”
「那麼，怎麼知道什麼是對的，什麼是錯的呢？」
“So, how do you know what is good and what is bad?”
「只要你願意將科技拋到一邊，靜下心來傾聽，你的內心之聲就會幫助你辨別。專注於發展你的更高自我，以便建立一個與上帝之間強而有力的溝通管道。確保你的‘接收器’（antenna）運作良好，並認真聆聽那傳來的訊息。如果你總是心神不寧，再多的訊息也不會進入你的意識。」
“Your inner voice can help if you set the technology aside long enough to listen. Focus on developing your higher self, so you have a good, strong communication channel with God. Make sure that your antenna is working well, and that you are paying attention to the messages you receive. If you’re distracted all the time, it won’t matter what messages come to you because you simply won’t notice them.”
「『這倒是有道理。』」
“That makes sense.”
「務必明白，科技可以是促進善的強大工具。試想一下，擁有這些出色工具的使用權，並利用它們來增強你的生活、促進你與上帝的更親密關係。不要讓科技分散了你的靈性成長。學會掌控它，必要時將其放在一旁；不在它近旁入睡，也不要在晨醒時馬上伸手拿起它。靜心傾聽你的內心之聲，與神聖連結。培養那些你死後仍可享受的東西：美好的回憶、家庭、朋友、人際關係以及你的品格。這些都是永恆存在的。」
“Understand that technology can be a powerful tool for good. Imagine having access to all of these wonderful tools and using them to enhance your life and enable a closer relationship to God. Don’t let technology be a distraction from your spiritual growth. Control it. Put it aside sometimes. Don’t sleep near it. Don’t reach for it when you first wake up in the morning. Listen to your inner voice and connect with the divine. Develop those things that you can enjoy after you die: great memories, family, friends, your relationships, and your character. All of those things persist.”
「那遊戲、電影以及類似的消遣呢？」
“What about games, and movies, and distractions like that?” “Entertainment is okay. Just be aware of what kind of entertainment, and how much of it you are taking in. You can enjoy dessert once in a while, but you wouldn’t eat only dessert every meal every day. That would be bad for your body. It’s the same for your soul, and, just as there are some things that you should never eat, there are some forms of entertainment that you should never consume. Those things will only harm your soul. Be aware and be wise.”
「對，」我回答道，儘管老實說，那時我並不清楚這些建議對我有多大幫助，畢竟我已經脫離了肉體。「那我還有什麼需要學習的呢？」
“Right,” I said, though honestly, I didn’t know how helpful that advice would be to me at the time. After all, I had already left my body behind. “What else do I need to learn?”
Drake 微笑著說：「下一個可能會讓你驚喜。」
Drake smiled. “The next one may surprise you.”
第九章：負責任地使用科技
Chapter 9: Use Technology Responsibly
「人們認為人類是如此先進。如果這不是那麼悲哀，那會很有趣。是的，人類創造了許多偉大的科技，並在科學上取得了重大進展。但許多人認為所有這些成就意味著他們不再需要上帝。他們認為自己已經超越了他們所認為的原始信仰。不幸的是，他們實際上放棄了多少真理和力量，因為他們認為必須二選一。」
“People think that humanity is so advanced. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Yes, humans have created a lot of great technology and made great advances in science. But so many people think that all of these achievements mean that they no longer need God. That they have progressed beyond what they think are primitive beliefs. The unfortunate thing is how much truth and power they are actually giving up because they think it has to be one or the other.”
「但我仍然相信上帝。」
“But I still believe in God.”
「這很好，是的。但即便如此，你仍然沒有掌握這個下一個原則——需要將科學和技術放在正確的位置和角色。太多人讓科技控制了他們的生活。對某些人來說，這只是一種對更美好事物的分心；對其他人來說，這是一種上癮。他們會毫不猶豫地觀看和聆聽那些貶低他們靈魂的事物，從不暫停問自己，『我應該在看這個嗎？』或『這對我有什麼影響？』」
“Which is good, yes. But even then, you still haven’t mastered this next principle—the need to put science and technology in its proper place and role. Too many people let technology control their life. For some, it’s just a distraction from better things; for others, it’s an addiction. They’ll watch and listen to things that degrade their spirit without a second thought, never once pausing to ask, ‘Should I be watching this?’ or ‘How is this affecting me?’
「你可能會讓自己深深埋在科技中，或者在科技提供的東西中，以至於完全切斷與靈性事物的聯繫。這可能像一種藥物一樣強大，超越了你推理和選擇的能力。當你達到那個程度時，你將不再與你的高頻率或上帝保持聯繫。你會被留在一個孤獨、黑暗的空虛中，只有越來越低的頻率。」
“It’s possible to allow yourself to be buried so deep in technology, or what technology provides access to, that you can turn off that connection to spiritual things altogether. It can be as powerful as a drug that overrides your ability to reason and choose. When you reach that point, you no longer have a connection to your higher frequency, or to God. You will be left in a lonely, dark void where there are only lower and lower frequencies.”
「聽起來很糟糕。」 「你自己看看。」
“That sounds bad.” “See for yourself.”
我們停下來，我跟隨德瑞克的意識。我注意到遠處有光球，靠近我們正在前往的大球體。它們和行星一樣大，但我能夠看見裡面每個人的樣子和他們在做什麼。我看到他們在黑暗的地方徘徊，渴望娛樂。有些人只是盯著自己的手，希望能有手機出現。他們如此專注於滿足那種渴望，以至於完全沒有意識到在他們的感知之外等待著的光明世界。
We stopped, and I followed Drake’s awareness. I became aware of orbs of light in the distance, near the large sphere we were traveling to. They were as large as planets, but I was able to perceive individual people within them and what they were doing. I saw them wandering in dark places, yearning for entertainment. Some people were just staring at their own hands, hoping for a phone to materialize. They were so focused on filling that desire that they were completely unaware of the glorious world filled with light that waited just beyond their perception.
「你看，」德瑞克繼續說。「就像你吃的東西影響你的身體一樣，你所攝取的信息也會影響你的靈魂。你所看到的、聽到的、說的：這些都會影響你靈魂的狀態，當你的凡人生命結束時。有些人會隨意接受任何東西，而科技只會讓這一切變得更容易。」
“You see,” Drake continued. “Just as what you eat affects your body, the information you take in affects your soul. What you see, what you hear, what you say: all of these things influence the state of your soul when your mortal life is over. Some people will take in anything, and technology just makes it easier to do this all the time.”
「那麼，你怎麼知道什麼是好的，什麼是壞的？」
“So, how do you know what is good and what is bad?”
「如果你能夠把科技放在一邊，聆聽內心的聲音，它會幫助你。專注於發展你的高我，這樣你就能與上帝保持良好而強大的溝通渠道。確保你的天線運作良好，並且你在注意你所接收到的訊息。如果你一直分心，那麼無論有什麼訊息來到你身邊，你都不會注意到。」
“Your inner voice can help if you set the technology aside long enough to listen. Focus on developing your higher self, so you have a good, strong communication channel with God. Make sure that your antenna is working well, and that you are paying attention to the messages you receive. If you’re distracted all the time, it won’t matter what messages come to you because you simply won’t notice them.”
「這讓我覺得有道理。」
“That makes sense.”
「明白科技可以是一個強大的好工具。想像一下擁有這些美妙工具的使用權，並利用它們來提升你的生活，促進與上帝的更親密關係。不要讓科技成為你靈性成長的干擾。控制它。有時把它放在一邊。不要在旁邊睡覺。早上醒來時不要第一時間去拿它。傾聽你的內心聲音，與神聖連結。發展那些你在死後可以享受的事物：美好的回憶、家庭、朋友、你的人際關係和你的品格。所有這些都會持續存在。」
“Understand that technology can be a powerful tool for good. Imagine having access to all of these wonderful tools and using them to enhance your life and enable a closer relationship to God. Don’t let technology be a distraction from your spiritual growth. Control it. Put it aside sometimes. Don’t sleep near it. Don’t reach for it when you first wake up in the morning. Listen to your inner voice and connect with the divine. Develop those things that you can enjoy after you die: great memories, family, friends, your relationships, and your character. All of those things persist.”
「那遊戲、電影和這類的娛樂呢？」 「娛樂是可以的。只是要注意你所選擇的娛樂類型，以及你攝取的量。你可以偶爾享受甜點，但你不會每天每餐只吃甜點。那對你的身體不好。對你的靈魂也是如此，正如有些東西你永遠不應該吃一樣，有些娛樂形式你永遠不應該消費。那些東西只會傷害你的靈魂。要保持警覺，並明智地選擇。」
“What about games, and movies, and distractions like that?” “Entertainment is okay. Just be aware of what kind of entertainment, and how much of it you are taking in. You can enjoy dessert once in a while, but you wouldn’t eat only dessert every meal every day. That would be bad for your body. It’s the same for your soul, and, just as there are some things that you should never eat, there are some forms of entertainment that you should never consume. Those things will only harm your soul. Be aware and be wise.”
「對，」我說，雖然老實說，我不知道這些建議對我當時會有多大的幫助。畢竟，我已經將我的身體留在了後面。「我還需要學習什麼？」
“Right,” I said, though honestly, I didn’t know how helpful that advice would be to me at the time. After all, I had already left my body behind. “What else do I need to learn?”
德瑞克微笑著說：「下一個可能會讓你感到驚訝。」
Drake smiled. “The next one may surprise you.”

“你可能讓自己深埋於科技中，或者科技提供的東西中，以至於你完全關閉了與精神事物的聯繫。這可能像一種藥物一樣強大，會覆蓋你的理性和選擇能力。當你到達那個地步時，你不再與高頻率或上帝有聯繫。你將被留在一個孤獨、黑暗的虛空中，只有越來越低的頻率。”
