平衡
12. Balance
原則 (Principle)
Principle
當你發覺自己與周遭世界達到平衡與和諧時，你的生活便會順暢愉快，目標也能輕而易舉地達成。然而，若你築起過剩潛能 (Exceed potential) 的圍牆，生活便會變成與平衡力量 (Balanced forces) 的一場無休止鬥爭。面對困境時，試著認清自己在哪裡做得過火、對何事物變得執著，或給予了過高的重要性 (Importance)；認定自身價值後，再放手讓它自然流動。圍牆會自動崩塌，障礙會自行消解，問題也就迎刃而解。切記不要試圖用力克服阻礙，而是降低它們的重要性 (Importance)。（Note: 強調內在和諧與放下過度執著的重要）
When you find yourself in balance and harmony with the world around you, your life runs smoothly and pleasantly. You achieve your goals without any particular effort. Yet, when you build walls of excess potential, life becomes a battle with balancing forces. When you are faced with a difficult situation, try and recognize where you have gone over the top, what you have become obsessed with, and to what person or thing you might have attributed excessive significance. Define your worth and then let it go. The wall will come tumbling down, the obstacle will remove itself and the problem will be solved of its own accord. Do not try to overcome obstacles. Instead, drop their importance.
詮釋
Interpretation
生活中的一切都在追求平衡。無論哪裡存在過剩的能量潛能，都會引發平衡力量 (Balanced forces) 來消除它。當你視某事物過於重要時，所獲結果往往與你原本的意圖背道而馳。譬如當你對自己過分苛責時，便與靈魂發生衝突；平衡力量 (Balanced forces) 會使你與自身短處作鬥爭，試圖隱藏它們，結果反而使其更加明顯。而當你批評這個世界時，你則會面臨無數鐘擺 (Pendulum) 的挑戰，它們會努力讓你變得渺小並把你推開。除了放低事物的重要性 (Importance) 外，也不要過分用力。降低外在重要性 (Importance) 並非要看低或低估事物，而是意味著不把生活看得那麼嚴肅。你不必忽略生活中的事物，但也別給它們披上一層過甜的粉飾；接受現實本來的面貌。降低內在重要性 (Importance) 絕非意味著服從或自我貶低，而是不要過分誇大或貶抑自己的長短之處。給自己享受做真正自己的寬裕。（Note: 提倡真實面對自我，接受現狀）
Everything in life strives towards balance. Wherever there is excess energetic potential, balancing forces appear with the purpose of eliminating it. When you perceive something as being excessively significant, you get the opposite result to what you intended. For example, when you are critical of yourself you come into conflict with your soul. Balancing forces make you struggle with your shortcomings and try to hide them, as a result of which, they stand out even more. When you are critical of the world, you confront a large number of pendulums. Balancing forces will aim to cut you down to size and push you away. As well as dropping importance, don’t push too hard. Reducing outer importance does not mean to disdain things or underestimate them. It is more about not taking life so seriously. Do not disregard things in life, but don’t paint them in a saccharine veneer either. Accept the world for what it is. Reducing inner importance is nothing at all like being submissive or self-abasing. Do not embellish or belittle your own strengths and weaknesses. Just give yourself the luxury of being yourself.

當你發現自己與周圍世界保持平衡和和諧時，你的生活會順利而愉快地進行。你不費吹灰之力就能實現目標。然而，當你築起過剩潛力的牆時，生活就成了一場與平衡力 (Balanced forces) 的鬥爭。當你面對困難的情況時，試著認識到你在哪裡過度了，你對什麼人或事物過於執著，並給予了過度的意義。定義你的價值，然後放下它。牆會倒塌，障礙會自行移除，問題會自行解決。不要試圖克服障礙。相反，降低它們的重要性。

解釋
Interpretation
生活中的一切都在努力達到平衡。無論哪裡有過剩的能量潛力，平衡力就會出現，目的是消除它。當你認為某事過於重要時，你會得到與你預期相反的結果。例如，當你對自己批評時，你與自己的靈魂發生衝突。平衡力會讓你努力掩蓋自己的缺點，結果它們更加突出。當你批評世界時，你會面對大量的鐘擺。平衡力會試圖削弱你的自大，並將你推開。除了降低重要性，不要過於用力。降低外在重要性並不意味著輕視或低估事物。更多的是不把生活看得太嚴肅。不要忽視生活中的事物，但也不要把它們描繪得過於甜美。接受世界的本來面目。降低內在重要性與屈從或自卑完全不同。不要美化或貶低自己的優點和缺點。只需給自己做自己的奢侈。

當你與周圍世界平衡和諧，生活順利愉快。你無需特別努力即達成目標。但當你建過剩潛能之牆，生活成與平衡力量的戰鬥。面對困難情況，試辨認你哪裡過頭，執迷何物，賦予何人何物過分重要性。定義你的價值，然後放開。牆會倒塌，障礙自消，問題自行解決。勿試克服障礙，降低其重要性。

Interpretation
生活中一切趨向平衡。凡有過剩能量潛能，平衡力量出現以消除。當你視某物過分重要，得到與意圖相反的結果。例如，批評自己，你與靈魂衝突。平衡力量讓你與缺點掙扎，試隱藏，結果更顯眼。批評世界，你面對多個擺錘。平衡力量會試圖削你銳氣，推開你。除降低重要性，勿過分用力。降低外在重要性非鄙視或低估事物，而是不要太認真對待生活。勿無視生活事物，也勿塗上甜膩外衣。接受世界本貌。降低內在重要性非順從或自貶。勿誇大或貶低自己的優缺點。只給自己做自己的奢侈。
