決策
59. Decision Making
原則 (Principle)

當你考慮如何在特定情境中行動時，通常只有大腦在運作。它分析利弊、構思一個既理性又具說服力的方案，並同時參考他人意見；但往往忽略了內心的預感。在這方面，大腦就像是在熟睡一樣。所以，不用去打擾它，讓它安靜直到做出決定。一旦決定下來，便停止聽取他人的意見；此後，覺醒並細察你當初做決策時的感受——你內心當下的舒適度便會揭示出心靈對大腦決策的真實反應。（Note: 強調直覺與內心感受的重要性）
When you consider how to act in any given situation, only your mind is working. It analyzes the advantages and disadvantages, builds a concept that is sound and persuasive and, at the same time, takes account of the opinions of others. As a rule, it does not take into account the premonitions of the heart. In this regard, the mind might as well be fast asleep. So, let it sleep and don’t bother it until it has come to a decision. Once the decision is made stop listening to anyone else. Wake up and scrutinise how you felt when you made the decision. How comfortable your soul feels in this moment will reveal the heart’s response to the mind’s decision.

每次當你要做決定時，先聽取理智的聲音，再留心你靈魂中的感受。大腦一旦作出判斷，靈魂就會以正面或負面的方式回應；如果是後者，你便會感覺到一陣微弱的波動，一種悄然閃現於你靈魂中的疑慮。當你做決策的那刻，你可能已略微感受到某種情緒，但當時大腦全神貫注於分析，未顧及你的真實感受。記住，那最初一閃而過的感覺是什麼？如果在一片樂觀推理的背後卻感到沉重，那靈魂明確在說「不」。當你的靈魂說「不」而大腦卻說「是」時，如果可能，務必果斷拒絕。靈魂總是準確地知道它真正想要的是什麼。一個簡單且可靠的準則是：如果你需要努力說服自己接受「是」，那麼靈魂其實在反對。記住，當你的靈魂對某事說「是」時，你便無需再自我說服。（Note: 強調內心初感的重要性）
Every time you have to make a decision, listen first to the voice of reason and then listen to the feeling in your soul. As soon as the mind has made a decision, the soul will respond either positively or negatively. In the case of the latter, you will experience a small wave of something, a sneaking suspicion in your soul. When you made the decision, you will have experienced the briefest inkling of something. At that moment though, the mind will have been so absorbed in its analysis that it would not have bothered about your feelings. Now though, remember. What was that initial fleeting feeling? If it was a sinking feeling on the background of optimistic reasoning, the soul clearly said, «No». If your soul is saying, ‘no’ and your mind is saying, ‘yes’ boldly refuse if you can. The soul always knows exactly what she wants. There is one simple, reliable algorithm for determining a heartfelt ‘no’. If you have to convince yourself and persuade yourself to say yes, then the soul is really saying no. Remember, when your soul does say ‘yes’ to something you won’t have to persuade yourself.

當你考慮如何在任何給定情況下行動時，只有你的心靈在運作。它分析優勢和劣勢，構建一個合理且有說服力的概念，同時考慮他人的意見。通常，它不考慮心靈的預感。在這方面，心靈可能還在沉睡。所以，讓它睡覺，不要打擾它，直到它做出決定。一旦做出決定，停止聽取其他人的意見。醒來，仔細檢查你做出決定時的感受。你在這一刻的靈魂感受如何，將揭示心靈對心靈決定的反應。

每次你必須做出決定時，首先聆聽理智的聲音，然後聆聽靈魂的感受。一旦心靈做出決定，靈魂將做出正面或負面的回應。在後者的情況下，你會感受到一小波某種東西，一種在靈魂中的潛在懷疑。當你做出決定時，你會經歷到一個短暫的預感。然而，那時心靈會如此專注於它的分析，以至於不會在意你的感受。但現在，請記住。那最初的短暫感覺是什麼？如果在樂觀推理的背景下是種沉重的感覺，靈魂顯然在說「不」。如果你的靈魂在說「不」，而你的心靈在說「是」，如果可以，大膽地拒絕。靈魂總是知道她想要什麼。有一個簡單可靠的算法來確定心靈的「不」。如果你必須說服自己並勸說自己說「是」，那麼靈魂其實在說「不」。記住，當你的靈魂對某事說「是」時，你不需要說服自己。

當你考慮如何在某情況行動，僅頭腦運作。它分析利弊，建構合理說服的概念，同時考慮他人意見。通常，它不顧心靈的預感 (Premonitions)。在此，頭腦或許睡著。所以，讓它睡，勿打擾，直到決定。一旦決定，停止聽他人。清醒並審視決定時的感覺。此刻靈魂的舒適感揭示心靈對頭腦決定的回應。

每次需決策，先聽理性之聲，再聽靈魂的感覺。頭腦決定後，靈魂會正面或負面回應。後者，你會感到一小波某物，靈魂的潛在懷疑。決定時，你會有瞬間某感。當時，頭腦沉浸於分析，未在意你的感覺。現在，回想。最初的短暫感覺是什麼？若在樂觀推理背景有沉重感，靈魂清楚說“不”。若靈魂說“不”，頭腦說“是”，若能，大膽拒絕。靈魂總知她想要的。判斷心靈“不”的簡單可靠算法是：若你需說服自己說“是”，靈魂真在說“不”。記住，當靈魂對某物說“是”，你無需說服自己。
