小氣的心智 (The Miserly Mind)
73. The Miserly Mind
原則 (Principle)
Principle
當一個人的心智被鐘擺 (Pendulum) 緊緊掌控時，他們被迫接受無窮盡的限制，並履行那套既定的角色。別聽信那不斷試圖說服你——你的目標不切實際——的大腦，因為它正被虛假刻板印象囚禁。記住，生命終將走到盡頭，而你的夢想可能就孤零零地躺在塵封的抽屜中。沒有心靈的參與，大腦於此世界裡能做的事微乎其微；唯有心智合一 (Unity of heart and mind) 才會激發出一種神奇的力量，也就是外在意圖 (Intention) 的力量。別因某個自以為是的權威主張能界定什麼現實、什麼不現實，而輕易放棄你的夢想。主張屬於你的個人奇蹟的權利。
When a person’s mind is in the pendulums’ grip, they are forced to accept endless limitations and fulfill the role allocated to them in the game. Do not listen to the mind, which wants to convince you that your goal is unrealistic. Remember, the mind is locked in a framework of false stereotypes. Life will eventually end and your dream will remain lying alone in a dusty drawer. Without the heart, the mind is not capable of very much in this world. Together they are capable of anything because the union of heart and mind gives rise to a magical power, the power of outer intention. Don’t give up on your dream simply because some pumped-up authority has claimed the right to decide what is realistic and what isn’t. Claim the right to a personal miracle.
詮釋
Interpretation
大腦將心比作一個孩子，仿佛在玩具店裡要求你買下它喜愛的玩具。大腦的回應通常都十分標準，例如：「我們買不起，別傻了！我最清楚你需要什麼，這種東西不適合我們，根本不切實際；不是每個人都那麼受福，你既沒有技能也缺乏能力，那個人根本遠超出你的範疇！」
The mind treats the heart as if it were a child asking you to buy it a favourite toy in a toyshop. The responses of the mind are usually fairly standard, such as, «We can’t afford it. Don’t be silly! I know best what you need. That’s not for the likes of us. That’s unrealistic. Not everyone is so blessed. You don’t have the skills or the abilities. He (she) is way out of your league! Just be like everyone else.»
大腦依照邏輯運作，而這種邏輯正是由鐘擺 (Pendulum) 強加，它們從讓追隨者束縛於短繩中獲益，剝奪了他們自由選擇夢想的機會。而對心來說，邏輯卻無法奏效，它總是拘泥於字面意思。大腦會說你沒錢，但心並不渴求金錢，它只想要那個玩具！基於你沒錢的事實，大腦便禁止你擁有那玩具——聲稱那不切實際、無法實現——使得心只能默默地退縮，最終忘記它。如此一來，你就目睹了個人夢想的葬禮。大腦無法理解如何讓夢想成真，因此不肯將夢想融入你的個人世界層面 (World layer) 中，因為在大腦看來，生活必須合乎邏輯、清晰明了。你只需同意擁有，而外在意圖 (Intention) 自會處理「如何實現」的問題。
The mind works according to logic, which is imposed by pendulums who benefit from keeping their followers on a short leash, denying them the freedom to choose their dreams. For the heart, there is no logic. It interprets everything literally. The mind says you have no money but the heart doesn’t want money, it wants the toy! Motivated by the fact that you have no money, the mind places a ban on the toy (it’s not realistic, its unachievable), and all the heart can do is retreat into itself and forget about it. With that, you’ve just witnessed the funeral of your personal dream. The mind cannot fathom how to make the dream come true and so it won’t let the dream into the layer of your personal world because as far as the mind is concerned, everything in life has to be logical and clear. All you have to do is agree to have, and outer intention will take care of the ‘how’.

當一個人的心靈被鐘擺 (Pendulum) 掌控時，他們被迫接受無盡的限制，並在遊戲中扮演分配給他們的角色。不要聽信心靈，它會試圖說服你，你的目標是不切實際的。記住，心靈被鎖在錯誤刻板印象的框架中。生活最終會結束，而你的夢想將孤獨地躺在塵封的抽屜裡。沒有心靈，心靈在這個世界上無法做太多事情。因為心靈與心靈的結合產生了神奇的力量，即外在意圖 (Outer intention) 的力量。不要因為某些自以為是的權威聲稱有權決定什麼是現實而放棄你的夢想。主張擁有個人奇蹟的權利。

Interpretation
心靈對待心靈就像一個孩子在玩具店裡要求你買他最喜歡的玩具。心靈的反應通常相當標準，例如：「我們買不起。別傻了！我最了解你需要什麼。這不適合我們這種人。這不現實。不是每個人都那麼幸運。你沒有技能或能力。他（她）遠遠超出你的範疇！就像其他人一樣吧。」

Just be like everyone else.»
心靈按照鐘擺 (Pendulum) 強加的邏輯運作，這些鐘擺從中受益，將追隨者控制在短繩上，剝奪他們選擇夢想的自由。對於心靈來說，沒有邏輯。它字面上解釋一切。心靈說你沒有錢，但心靈不想要錢，它想要玩具！心靈因為你沒有錢而設置了對玩具的禁令（這不現實，無法實現），心靈只能退縮並忘記它。這樣，你就見證了你個人夢想的葬禮。心靈無法理解如何實現夢想，因此不會讓夢想進入你個人世界的層面，因為對心靈來說，生活中的一切都必須合乎邏輯和清晰。你所要做的就是同意擁有，外在意圖 (Outer intention) 會處理「如何」。

- 吝嗇的頭腦 (The Miserly Mind)

當人的頭腦受擺錘控制，被迫接受無數限制，履行分配的角色。勿聽頭腦說你的目標不現實。記住，頭腦被鎖於錯誤刻板印象 (False Stereotypes) 框架。人生終將結束，你的夢想獨留塵封抽屜。無心靈，頭腦在世上能耐有限。一起它們能做任何事，因心與頭腦統一產生魔法力量，外在意圖 (Outer Intention) 的力量。勿僅因某權威宣稱決定何為現實而放棄夢想。宣稱個人奇蹟的權利。

頭腦視心靈如孩子，在玩具店求買心愛玩具。頭腦回應通常標準，如：“我們買不起。別傻！我最知你需要什麼。那非我們這等人可得。不現實。非人人如此幸運。你無技能或能力。他/她在你聯盟外！只做普通人。”

Just be like everyone else.»
頭腦依擺錘強加的邏輯運作，受益於將追隨者短繩控制，否認選擇夢想的自由。對心靈，無邏輯。它字面解釋一切。頭腦說你無錢，但心靈不想要錢，要玩具！因無錢，頭腦禁玩具（不現實，不可達），心靈只能退縮忘記。你剛目睹個人夢想的葬禮。頭腦無法理解如何實現夢想，不讓夢想入你的世界層，因對頭腦，一切需邏輯清晰。你只需同意擁有，外在意圖會處理“如何”。
