如果你當前感到萬事艱辛，只需醒來回顧問題最初的起因，你就會發現內心總能尋得一絲支持。危險不在於問題本身，而在於你與它之間的關係。當你沉溺於問題的重要性 (Importance) 中，你便將所有能量奉獻給鐘擺 (Pendulum)。你必須意識到，在每個困境中，鐘擺 (Pendulum) 都會逼迫你選擇：要麼準備迎戰，要麼投降於絕望。你不能任由其左右。若你感到無人支持、失去那堅如鐵杆的自信，那你該怎麼辦？當你醒悟並認清這場遊戲的規則時，自信便會回歸。你或許會苦笑著對自己說：「哦，又是你，鐘擺 (Pendulum)？」—這次，它絕不會輕易牽制我。你不再是個傀儡，而是獲得了真正的自由。（Note: 強調內心覺醒與自我支持的重要性）
If things are hard for you at the moment, you can always find support inside yourself if you wake up and look at how your problem arose in the first place. The danger lies not in the problem itself but in your relationship to it. Immersing yourself in the importance of the problem, you give your energy to the pendulum. You have to realize that in any problematic situation the pendulum will want you either to prepare yourself for a fight or throw in the towel and give in to despondency. You must not do either. So if you have no support and you’ve lost your iron rod of confidence, what can you do? Confidence will come when you wake up and acknowledge how the game is played. You will chuckle wryly to yourself, «Ah, it’s you, a pendulum?» You won’t hook me that easily, not this time!» You are no longer a puppet. You are free.

對於不熟悉這場遊戲規則的人來說，世界常常顯得既威嚇又充滿敵意。湧動的孤獨與抑鬱情緒可能使人陷入沉睡，屈服於環境的意志。面對一個複雜的問題或不幸的消息時，人們往往將能量交由鐘擺 (Pendulum) 操縱，隨之而來的是焦慮、疲憊感加上整體情境的沉重壓力。人們要麼進入準備戰鬥的狀態，要麼就完全喪失希望而放棄，這兩種狀態都不正常，最終都會導致壓力與憂鬱。為了尋求支持，有些人轉向吸煙、藥物、飲酒或其他類似的情緒依靠，結果卻反而陷入了其他鐘擺 (Pendulum) 的束縛。你只需要如同旁觀者般觀察這個遊戲，而不是親自上場參與，你便能像看到海水突然蒸發般，清楚地看見海床上所有隱藏的岩石。這樣，你就能在內心找到自己的力量。了解周遭發生的一切至關重要，僅有這份知識就足以恢復那份沉靜堅定的自信，因為缺乏自信往往源於對未知的恐懼。明白這一點後，你就能把生活轉化為一場清醒的夢，掌控自己遇到的每一種情況。（Note: 強調自我觀察和知識恢復自信的重要性）
The world can start to look intimidating and hostile to a person who is not familiar with the rules of the game. Surging feelings of loneliness and depression can cause a person to fall asleep and give in to the will of circumstance. When faced with a complex problem or unfortunate news, people give their energy to the pendulum and then they feel anxious, lacking in energy and burdened by the pressure of the whole situation. Either they shift into a state of readiness for combat or they just feel hopeless and give up. Both states are abnormal and lead to stress and depression. In order to find support, people chase the situation down by smoking cigarettes and drugs, drinking alcohol and turning to other similar kinds of emotional prop. As a result, they get caught in bondage to other pendulums. All you have to do is wake up and observe the game as a member of the audience would only without exiting the stage. You will be able to see all the hidden rocks lying on the seabed as easily as if the sea had suddenly evaporated. Then you will be able to come to a position of strength inside yourself. Understanding what is happening around you counts for a lot. Only this knowledge is enough to restore a quiet, firm belief in oneself, for lack of confidence usually results from fear of the unknown. Knowing all this, you can now turn your life into a clear waking dream and gain control over any situation in which you find yourself.

如果你現在感到困難，你總是可以在自己內心找到支持，只要你醒來，看看你的問題最初是如何產生的。危險不在於問題本身，而在於你對它的關係。沉浸在問題的重要性 (Importance) 中，你將能量交給了鐘擺 (Pendulum)。你必須意識到，在任何問題情況下，鐘擺都會希望你要麼準備好戰鬥，要麼放棄並陷入沮喪。你不能這樣做。所以如果你沒有支持，失去了自信的鐵桿，你該怎麼辦？當你醒來並承認遊戲是如何進行的時，自信就會來臨。你會苦笑著對自己說：「啊，是你，鐘擺？」你不會那麼容易勾住我，這次不會！」你不再是木偶。你是自由的。

對於不熟悉遊戲規則的人來說，世界可能開始看起來令人生畏和敵對。湧現的孤獨和抑鬱感會讓一個人入睡並屈服於環境的意志。當面對複雜的問題或不幸的消息時，人們將能量交給鐘擺，然後他們感到焦慮，缺乏能量，並被整個情況的壓力所困擾。他們要麼進入戰鬥準備狀態，要麼只是感到絕望並放棄。這兩種狀態都是不正常的，會導致壓力和抑鬱。為了尋找支持，人們通過吸煙、吸毒、飲酒和其他類似的情感支柱來追逐情況。結果，他們被其他鐘擺束縛。你所要做的就是醒來，像觀眾一樣觀察遊戲，但不要退出舞台。你將能夠像海洋突然蒸發一樣輕鬆地看到海床上的所有隱藏岩石。然後你將能夠在自己內心找到一個強大的位置。理解你周圍發生的事情意義重大。僅僅這些知識就足以恢復對自己的安靜、堅定的信心，因為缺乏信心通常源於對未知的恐懼。知道這一切後，你現在可以將你的生活變成一個清醒的夢，並掌控你所處的任何情況。

若此刻你困難，你總可內尋支持，若清醒並看問題如何生。危險非問題本身，而在你對它的關係。沉浸於問題的重要性，你將能量給擺錘。你需意識到，任何問題情況，擺錘希望你準備戰鬥或放棄陷入沮喪。兩者皆不可。若你無支持，失去自信鐵棒，能做什麼？當你清醒並知遊戲如何玩，自信會來。你會冷笑：“哈，是你，擺錘？這次別想輕易鉤我！”你不再是傀儡。你自由。

對不熟悉遊戲規則的人，世界可顯可怕敵對。孤獨與抑鬱湧現使人睡著，屈服於環境意志。面對複雜問題或不幸消息，人將能量給擺錘，然後感焦慮、缺能量、被整個情況壓迫。他們或進入戰鬥準備，或感無望放棄。兩狀態皆異常，導致壓力與抑鬱。為找支持，人追逐情況，用菸、藥、酒或其他類似情緒支撐。結果，他們被其他擺錘束縛。你只需清醒，如觀眾觀察遊戲，無需離舞台。你會輕易見海底隱藏的岩石，如海突然蒸發。你將找到內在力量位置。理解周圍發生的事意義重大。這知識足以恢復平靜堅定自信，因缺乏自信通常源於對未知的恐懼。知此，你可將生活轉為清晰清醒夢，控制任何處境。
