終結鬥爭 (Ending the Battle)
36. Ending the Battle
原則 (Principle)
Principle
世界是一面鏡子，它反映出你與它的關係。當你對世界感到不滿時，它便會背離你；當你與世界爭鬥時，世界也會與你對抗；而當你停止爭鬥時，世界會與你半途相會。只要你給自己許可，擁有你所想像的一切，外在意圖 (Intention) 自會找到方式將它交到你手中。然後，有一天，某件事會發生，讓別人稱之為奇蹟。你是否迫切渴望實現你的目標？如果是的話，就停止不斷地渴求，直接接納它。只需靜思如何默默地拿回屬於你的東西，而不是以「我就要這個，那又如何？我必定擁有它」這種方式強加要求。
The world is a mirror that reflects your relationship to it. When you are unhappy with the world, it turns away from you. When you battle with the world, it battles with you too. When you stop battling, the world meets you half way. If you simply give yourself permission to have what you envision, outer intention will find a way of giving it to you. Then, one fine day, something will happen that others will call a miracle. Are you desperate to achieve your goal? If so, stop wanting and receive it anyway. Just think about taking what is yours, and taking it quietly, without insisting or making demands in the manner of: «So, I want this. So what? I shall have it.»
詮釋
Interpretation
鐘擺 (Pendulum) 會強加一套完全不同的劇本給你。它們迫使你拼命奮鬥去達成目標，好像唯一的方法就是向自己及世界宣戰一樣，不斷轟炸你，讓你認為因為自己不完美，只有改變真正的自我才能實現目標。當你改變了自己後，又必得加入爭奪陽光下位置的戰鬥。這種劇本只有一個目的：耗盡你的能量，將你驅趕進矩陣 (matrix) 的小牢籠。與自己爭鬥，你就把能量交給了矩陣；與世界爭鬥，同樣如此。沒有人能迫使你戰鬥，但如果你充斥著內外重要性 (Importance)，你將別無選擇。如果你覺得自己無法立刻給自己許可去擁有，那麼你可以把它推遲到以後；然而，推遲只會讓你覺得人生每一刻都是在為更美好的未來做準備。人們總是不滿現狀，並以希望未來會改變來安慰自己。有了這種態度，未來永遠無法到來；它總是像落日一樣，懸停在你前方。給自己許可，立刻就在此時此地擁有一切。
Pendulums impose a totally different kind of script. They force you to fight to achieve your goal as if the only means of reaching your goal is to declare war on yourself and the rest of the world. They constantly bombard you with the idea that because you are less than perfect, you will never achieve your goal unless you change who you really are. Once you have changed yourself, then you have to join the battle for your place under the sun. This script pursues one goal only, to drain your energy and drive you into a cell in the matrix. By fighting with yourself, you give your energy away to the matrix. By battling with the world, you do exactly the same thing. No one can force you to fight but you will not have any other option if you are filled with inner and outer importance. If you don’t feel able to give yourself permission to take and have right now, you can put it off until later. However, putting it off until later leaves you feeling that every moment of your life is just the preparation for some better future. People are always dissatisfied with the present and console themselves with the hope that improvements are on the cards. With this kind of attitude, the future will never come. It will always be hovering somewhere just ahead of you, like trying to catch up with the setting sun. Give yourself permission to have, right here and now.

世界是一面反映你與它關係的鏡子。當你對世界不滿時，它會轉身離開你。當你與世界戰鬥時，它也會與你戰鬥。當你停止戰鬥時，世界會與你相遇。如果你只是給自己允許擁有你想像中的東西，外在意圖 (Outer intention) 會找到一種方法來給予你。然後，在某個美好的日子裡，會發生一些其他人稱之為奇蹟的事情。你是否渴望實現你的目標？如果是這樣，停止渴望，無論如何接受它。只需考慮拿走屬於你的東西，安靜地拿走它，而不是以「所以，我想要這個。那又怎樣？我會擁有它。」的方式堅持或要求。

鐘擺強加了一種完全不同的劇本。它們迫使你為實現目標而戰，彷彿達到目標的唯一手段就是向自己和整個世界宣戰。它們不斷轟炸你，告訴你因為你不夠完美，所以除非改變真實的自己，否則永遠無法實現目標。一旦你改變了自己，你就必須加入爭奪陽光下位置的戰鬥。這個劇本只有一個目標，就是消耗你的能量，將你驅入矩陣中的一個細胞。通過與自己戰鬥，你將能量交給矩陣。通過與世界戰鬥，你做的完全一樣。沒有人能強迫你戰鬥，但如果你充滿內在和外在的重要性，你將沒有其他選擇。如果你現在不能給自己允許去擁有和得到，你可以把它推遲到以後。然而，推遲到以後會讓你感覺到生活的每一刻都只是在為更好的未來做準備。人們總是不滿於現狀，並用希望改善來安慰自己。抱著這種態度，未來永遠不會到來。它將永遠在你前面徘徊，就像試圖追上落日一樣。給自己允許在此時此地擁有。

世界是鏡子，反映你對它的關係。當你對世界不滿，它背對你。當你與世界爭鬥，它也與你爭鬥。當你停止爭鬥，世界與你相會。若你允許自己擁有你設想的，外在意圖會找到給你的方式。某美好一天，會發生他人稱奇蹟之事。你急於達成目標？若如此，停止想要，無論如何接收。只想拿屬你的，靜靜地拿，不堅持或要求：“我要這個，怎樣？我會擁有。”

擺錘強加完全不同的劇本 (Script)。它們迫你爭鬥達成目標，彷彿唯一方式是對自己與世界宣戰。它們不斷轟炸你，因你不完美，除非改變真我，否則永不達成目標。改變自己後，你需爭奪陽光下的位置。這劇本僅一目標，耗你能量，趕你進矩陣 (Matrix) 的牢房。與自己爭鬥，你將能量給矩陣。與世界爭鬥，同樣如此。無人可迫你爭鬥，但若你充滿內外重要性，無其他選擇。若你現無法允許自己拿與有，可推遲。但推遲讓你感覺人生每刻只是為更好未來的準備。人們總不滿現在，以未來改善希望安慰自己。這種態度，未來永不到。它總在你前方，如追落日。現在允許自己擁有。
