記憶的習慣

41. The Habit of Remembering

原則 (Principle)

Principle


要從困境中找到出路,首先必須回想起這些困境都是因為事物被過度提升了 重要性 (Importance) 而產生的。就像是一場缺乏清醒意識的夢境,夢中事件不受你意志左右,之所以完全控制你,是因為你未意識到自己正處於夢中;清醒生活亦然。在你察覺到自己已把心神完全沉浸於一個問題前,周遭環境將不斷左右你的命運。停下來,甩掉這種錯覺,並記住:現實其實是一場你能掌控的清醒夢。當你醒來後,就在你的清醒夢中練習 Transurfing。

In order to find a way out of a difficult situation, you have to first recall that it originated as a consequence of amplified importance. A non-lucid dream, in which the events of the dream occur irrespective of your will, only has total control over you because you are unaware of the fact that you are dreaming. It is exactly the same in waking life. Until you become aware of the fact that you have allowed your mind to become totally immersed in a problem, circumstances will continue to control you. Stop. Shake off the delusion and remember that reality is a lucid dream, one you can control. Once you have woken up, practice Transurfing in your waking dream.

當你沉迷於內在或外在被誇大的 重要性 (Importance) 之中,最艱難的便是在關鍵時刻重新恢復覺知。為了達到這點,你需要那位守護者——你內在的觀察者,時刻監控著你的覺察水平。當你情緒激動到幾近爆發時,想保持自制是多麼困難。鐘擺 (Pendulum) 如同吸血鬼,它們利用一種麻醉劑──即你遇到刺激時自動陷入疲憊與不覺醒的習慣。即使你剛閱讀完這些文字,也可能只過幾分鐘便分心,甚至以惱怒的語氣接下一通不歡迎的電話。試著在一天中多次「覺醒」,用清晰的心態環顧四周,並明白這一切僅是一場夢,你一直處於沉睡狀態,未能有意識地行動。養成記憶的習慣需透過持續練習。在你將覺知變成習慣之前,鐘擺 (Pendulum) 將竭盡全力接近你。別氣餒,這些最終只會化作些許小問題。堅持記住,要學會記得覺醒,你必將獲勝,你會見證這一切。

When you are floundering in inflated inner or outer importance, the most difficult thing is to return to awareness in the right moment. For this purpose,you need the Keeper, the inner observer, who keeps a constant eye on your level of awareness. Of course, it is hard to keep yourself in hand when you feel like going ballistic. Pendulums are like vampires. They use a kind of anesthesia i.e. your habit of falling asleep when you react negatively to an irritant. Even now, after having read these lines it may only be a matter of minutes before you get distracted, and take an unwanted phone call in an irritable tone of voice. Try to «wake up» several times during the day, look around you with a clear head, and understand that it is all a dream, and that you have been sleeping, not consciously aware of what you were doing. The habit of remembering is developed through consistent practice. Until being consciously aware becomes a habit, pendulums will do everything they can to get to you. Don’t be dismayed. Overall, this will manifest itself as minor problems. Don’t give in. Learn to remember and you will be victorious, you’ll see.
