如何運用意圖編織

How to work with the plait

快快點，我那些可憐的小傢伙們，新課馬上開始，但先來回顧一下到目前為止的內容。

Chop-chop, hurry-hurry, my pitiful ones, a new lesson, but first, a recap so far.

意圖(Intention)有兩個中心：內在與外在。

Intention has two centres: inner and outer.

內在中心位於額頭，而外在中心則在那意圖編織的末端。

The inner centre is located in the forehead, the outer, at the tip of the plait.

內在意圖負責當前幀中日常活動的運作。

Inner intention accounts for everyday activities in the current frame.

外在意圖則能夠推動未來的投影片(Slide)，也就是說，構築現實。

Outer intention is capable of moving the future slide: composing reality.

你肯定想學會構築現實，對吧？當然想了，真好。

You do want to learn to compose reality, don’t you? Of course you do, good.

那麼，比方說，你有個夢想。你們的民間常說「夢想無妨」，卻也隱含著夢想無用的意味。這是否意味著，那愚蠢的說法是真的，而我的那些自以為是的小傢伙就無所期待了呢？

So, let’s say, you have a dream. There is a saying in your folklore “it does no harm to dream” which hints that it is also useless to dream. Does this mean, that the silly saying is true and that my snottites have nothing to hope for?

我將在下一課中向你解釋，為何夢想不會自動成真。眼下，我們直接進入技法部分：先動手做，你自然會明白。這是學習的最佳途徑。現在，請仔細聽著。

I will explain to you in the next lesson why dreams don’t come true. For now, we will move directly to the technique. First do it, then you will understand. That’s the best way to learn. Now, listen carefully.

首先：覺醒並進入覺知中心，像往常一樣對自己默念：「我看見自己，我看見現實。」

First: wake up and log into the awareness point. As usual, say to yourself: I see myself and I see reality.

其次：啟動意圖編織。感受它：看，它就在這裡。只要你將注意力集中在那意圖編織上，它便會立刻從你的脊椎處以一個角度抬升起來並被激活。

Second: activate the plait. Feel it: here it is. As soon as you focus your attention on the plait, it instantly rises up at an angle to your spine and is activated.

第三步：在不分散你對意圖編織注意力的情況下，在腦海中構想一幅未來的圖景。用你的思緒、言語和心中那塊「螢幕」來構築出屬於你的現實。

Third: without taking your attention away from the plait, imagine a picture of the future. In your thoughts, in words, on the screen, as well as you can, compose your reality.

你或許會發現，當你啟動意圖編織時，你的雙眼好像轉入了另一個模式。試著感受：你的意圖編織仿佛升起了。那麼，你的眼睛發生了什麼？它們變得有些擴大，好像開始閃亮起來。這是一種全新的、陌生的存在狀態；先前你僅僅是觀看外在畫面，任由其牽引你。而現在，你可以獨立操控那電影膠卷。

You may notice that when you activate the plait, your eyes shift into a different gear. Try and feel that: you have raised your plait. Now, what happens to your eyes? They become a little wider as if they are beginning to shine. This is a new, unfamiliar mode of being for you. Previously, you just watched the outer film and surrendered yourself to it. Now, you can turn the film roll independently.

再重申一次：你的覺醒、專注於意圖編織，接著在保持感官與意圖編織同頻的情況下，在腦海中將你所渴望的事物形象化，好像它已在螢幕上展示一樣。這就是你如何照亮未來幀，並讓它在物質實現(Material realisation)中顯現。稍後，你將學會如何在一次動作中瞬間完成這一過程。

Once again, this is how: you’ve woken up, focused your attention on the plait, and then, keeping your senses attuned to the plait, you imagine what you desire as if it were depicted on the screen. That is how you illuminate the future frame, and how to make it manifest in physical reality. Later, you’ll learn how to do this instantaneously, in a single movement.

意圖編織就像一臺電影投影機。你可以在內在畫面上隨意播放那些「我想要」和「要是…就好了」的念頭，但那樣效果十分有限，幾乎就是無效的。真正的投影機在當下全力運作，你的思維、語言和影像均源自外在意圖(Intention)中心。所以，如果你想要超越僅僅沉湎於自我思緒，而真正影響現實的塑造，便該啟動意圖編織。

The plait works like a film projector. You can turn your little ‘I want’s’ and ‘if only’s’ on the inner screen as much as you like, but it won’t be very effective — practically a misfire. The projector runs at full capacity in the moment, that your thoughts, words, and images originate from the outer intention centre. So, if you want to do more than just wallow in your own thoughts, if you want to influence how your reality is shaped, turn on the plait.

你不必始終將全部注意力完全集中在意圖編織的末端，只要能感應到它，就像感覺那隱形的幻肢一樣即可。不過，你可以在任何你想的時候啟動它。具體感受因人而異，你不必刻意關注雙眼——可以閉眼，或甚至看不見也無妨。重點在於，你的思想、言語與影像必須與意圖編織保持同步。

It is not essential to keep your attention totally focused on the tip of the plait. It is enough to sense it, like you would a phantom limb. However, you can activate it whenever you wish. The specific sensations are a very personal thing. You don’t have to pay attention to the eyes. You can keep them closed, or be completely blind; it doesn’t make any difference. What is important is that the thoughts, words and images are in tandem with the plait.

所以，我的小兔子們、我的小魚兒，你們只差一步就能成為宇宙的統治者。我對你們充滿敬畏，不知該是昏倒還是虔誠地俯首致敬。來吧，用你們的能力給我一個驚喜！但首先，你必須先驚豔於自己；而為此，你必須掌握控制那流動幀的實用技能。

So, my bunnies, my little fish, you’re just a step away from becoming Rulers of the Universe. I am filled with such awe, that I don’t know whether to swoon or bow in reverence. Go on, surprise me with your abilities! First of all though, you must surprise yourself. And for that, you must acquire the practical skills needed to control the moving frame.

我們將從基本的部分開始，也就是滿足眼前欲望。譬如，在今天的電影膠卷上，有一個特定的事件正在醞釀中，這個事件對你可能帶來成功或失敗的結局。一開始，選取最簡單、能夠容納於一幀的事情。這可能是購物、找到停車位，或是在工作、學校、外出或家中進行的任何日常任務。

We’ll begin with the basics, the fulfilment of immediate desires. Let’s say, on the film roll of the day, a certain event is looming, which could have a successful or an unsuccessful outcome for you. To start with, take the simplest thing that will fit into one frame. This could be, for example, making a purchase, finding a parking space, any everyday task at work, university, outside, or at home.

你擁有將幀插入成功電影膠卷中的力量。你已知道如何操作：覺醒、啟動意圖編織，然後在不失去與意圖編織聯繫的情況下，想像你所渴望的事情正在成真。接著，你可放下對意圖編織的感受，繼續保持日常運作。為確保效果，重複幾次照亮未來幀的動作。

You have the power to insert the frame into a successful film roll. You already know what to do. You wake up, activate the plait, and without losing a sense of the plait, you imagine that what you desire is coming true. Then you can let go of the feeling of the plait and continue to operate as normal. Repeat the act of illuminating the frame a few times over, just to make sure.

你將親身見證隨後發生的變化。記住保持清醒，不要在這過程中失控！當你意識到某件不可能發生的事實真的出現時，你會感受到複雜情緒。你可能難以相信外在現實會向你的意志屈服。通常情況下，卻是相反的，你反而受限於外部現實。

You will see for yourself what follows. Keep your diapers dry! Don’t wet yourself in the process! You experience very mixed feelings when you understand that something has taken place that is impossible. You will find it hard to believe that outer reality surrenders to your will. Usually the opposite happens, and you are subject to external reality.

你成功實驗的統計數據，——等等！——取決於你對當下發生事情的真實感受。你判斷現實的標準在於日常的習慣，一切重複出現的便是真實的；從未發生過的事物就不可能是真實的，對吧？

The statistics for your successful experiments depend — wait for it! — on your sense of the reality of what is happening. Your criterion for reality is routine and habit. Anything is real if it has happened several times. Something that has never happened cannot be real, right?

換句話說，對你來說，只有那些符合你世界觀範疇內的事物才有可能發生。如果你不知道兩輪自行車是可騎的，你就不會騎它。這與幀的運動完全一樣；當你認為幀運動不現實時，你便無法掌控它。那麼，怎麼才能讓它變得真實？我親愛的，你很快就會明白！

In other words, for you, things are only possible if they fit into the mould of your worldview. If you didn’t know that it was possible to ride a bike with two wheels, you wouldn’t be riding one. It’s exactly the same with the movement of the frame. You won’t be able to control it whilst you believe it to be unrealistic. So what can you do to make it real? You will find out very soon, my darlings!

如何使用辮子

How to work with the plait

快快，快快，我可憐的孩子們，一堂新課，但首先，回顧一下到目前為止的內容。

Chop-chop, hurry-hurry, my pitiful ones, a new lesson, but first, a recap so far.

意圖有兩個中心：內在和外在。

Intention has two centres: inner and outer.

內在中心位於前額，外在中心位於辮子的末端。

The inner centre is located in the forehead, the outer, at the tip of the plait.

內在意圖負責當前幀中的日常活動。

Inner intention accounts for everyday activities in the current frame.

外在意圖能夠移動未來的幻象：創造現實。

Outer intention is capable of moving the future slide: composing reality.

你想學習如何創造現實，不是嗎？當然你想，這很好。

You do want to learn to compose reality, don’t you? Of course you do, good.

那麼，假設你有一個夢想。在你的民間傳說中有句話“做夢無害”，這暗示著做夢也是無用的。這是否意味著這句愚蠢的話是真的，而我的小屁孩們沒有什麼可期待的？

So, let’s say, you have a dream. There is a saying in your folklore “it does no harm to dream” which hints that it is also useless to dream. Does this mean, that the silly saying is true and that my snottites have nothing to hope for?

我會在下一課中解釋為什麼夢想無法成真。現在，我們將直接進入技術。先做，然後你會明白。這是學習的最佳方式。現在，仔細聽。

I will explain to you in the next lesson why dreams don’t come true. For now, we will move directly to the technique. First do it, then you will understand. That’s the best way to learn. Now, listen carefully.

首先：醒來並登錄到意識點。像往常一樣，對自己說：我看到自己，我看到現實。

First: wake up and log into the awareness point. As usual, say to yourself: I see myself and I see reality.

第二：激活辮子。感受它：它在這裡。只要你將注意力集中在辮子上，它就會立即以一定角度升起並被激活。

Second: activate the plait. Feel it: here it is. As soon as you focus your attention on the plait, it instantly rises up at an angle to your spine and is activated.

第三：不將注意力從辮子上移開，想像未來的畫面。在你的思想中，用語言，在屏幕上，盡可能地創造你的現實。

Third: without taking your attention away from the plait, imagine a picture of the future. In your thoughts, in words, on the screen, as well as you can, compose your reality.

你可能會注意到，當你激活辮子時，你的眼睛進入了一種不同的狀態。試著感受一下：你已經抬起了你的辮子。現在，你的眼睛怎麼樣？它們變得稍微睜大了，好像開始發光。這對你來說是一種新的、不熟悉的存在模式。以前，你只是觀看外部電影並將自己交給它。現在，你可以獨立轉動膠卷。

You may notice that when you activate the plait, your eyes shift into a different gear. Try and feel that: you have raised your plait. Now, what happens to your eyes? They become a little wider as if they are beginning to shine. This is a new, unfamiliar mode of being for you. Previously, you just watched the outer film and surrendered yourself to it. Now, you can turn the film roll independently.

再次重申，這就是方法：你醒來，將注意力集中在辮子上，然後，保持感官與辮子同步，想像你所渴望的東西，好像它被描繪在屏幕上一樣。這就是你如何照亮未來的幀，以及如何使其在物質現實中顯現。稍後，你將學會如何瞬間做到這一點，一次完成。

Once again, this is how: you’ve woken up, focused your attention on the plait, and then, keeping your senses attuned to the plait, you imagine what you desire as if it were depicted on the screen. That is how you illuminate the future frame, and how to make it manifest in physical reality. Later, you’ll learn how to do this instantaneously, in a single movement.

辮子就像電影放映機一樣運作。你可以在內在屏幕上盡情地轉動你的“小想要”和“如果只有”，但效果不會很大——幾乎是無效的。當你的思想、語言和圖像來自外在意圖中心時，放映機全速運行。因此，如果你想做的不僅僅是沉浸在自己的思想中，如果你想影響現實的形成，啟動辮子。

The plait works like a film projector. You can turn your little ‘I want’s’ and ‘if only’s’ on the inner screen as much as you like, but it won’t be very effective — practically a misfire. The projector runs at full capacity in the moment, that your thoughts, words, and images originate from the outer intention centre. So, if you want to do more than just wallow in your own thoughts, if you want to influence how your reality is shaped, turn on the plait.

不必完全將注意力集中在辮子的末端。只需像感覺幻肢一樣感知它即可。然而，你可以隨時激活它。具體的感覺是非常個人的事情。你不必關注眼睛。你可以閉上眼睛，或者完全失明；這沒有任何區別。重要的是思想、語言和圖像與辮子同步。

It is not essential to keep your attention totally focused on the tip of the plait. It is enough to sense it, like you would a phantom limb. However, you can activate it whenever you wish. The specific sensations are a very personal thing. You don’t have to pay attention to the eyes. You can keep them closed, or be completely blind; it doesn’t make any difference. What is important is that the thoughts, words and images are in tandem with the plait.

所以，我的小兔子們，我的小魚們，你們距離成為宇宙的統治者只差一步。我充滿了敬畏，不知道是該昏倒還是該鞠躬致敬。來吧，用你們的能力讓我驚訝！但首先，你們必須讓自己驚訝。為此，你們必須獲得控制移動幀所需的實際技能。

So, my bunnies, my little fish, you’re just a step away from becoming Rulers of the Universe. I am filled with such awe, that I don’t know whether to swoon or bow in reverence. Go on, surprise me with your abilities! First of all though, you must surprise yourself. And for that, you must acquire the practical skills needed to control the moving frame.

我們將從基礎開始，滿足即時的願望。假設在一天的膠卷上，有某個事件即將發生，這可能對你有成功或不成功的結果。首先，選擇最簡單的事情，能夠適合一個幀的事情。例如，這可以是購物、找到停車位、任何日常工作、在大學、外面或家裡的任務。

We’ll begin with the basics, the fulfilment of immediate desires. Let’s say, on the film roll of the day, a certain event is looming, which could have a successful or an unsuccessful outcome for you. To start with, take the simplest thing that will fit into one frame. This could be, for example, making a purchase, finding a parking space, any everyday task at work, university, outside, or at home.

你有能力將幀插入成功的膠卷中。你已經知道該怎麼做。你醒來，激活辮子，並在不失去辮子的感覺的情況下，想像你所渴望的正在成真。然後你可以放下對辮子的感覺，繼續正常運作。重複幾次照亮幀的動作，以確保成功。

You have the power to insert the frame into a successful film roll. You already know what to do. You wake up, activate the plait, and without losing a sense of the plait, you imagine that what you desire is coming true. Then you can let go of the feeling of the plait and continue to operate as normal. Repeat the act of illuminating the frame a few times over, just to make sure.

你將親眼看到接下來會發生什麼。保持你的尿布乾燥！不要在過程中尿濕！當你明白發生了一些不可能的事情時，你會有非常複雜的感受。你會發現很難相信外部現實會屈服於你的意志。通常情況正好相反，你受制於外部現實。

You will see for yourself what follows. Keep your diapers dry! Don’t wet yourself in the process! You experience very mixed feelings when you understand that something has taken place that is impossible. You will find it hard to believe that outer reality surrenders to your will. Usually the opposite happens, and you are subject to external reality.

你成功實驗的統計數據取決於——等著瞧！——你對正在發生的事情的現實感。你的現實標準是常規和習慣。任何事情如果發生過幾次就是現實。從未發生過的事情不可能是真實的，對吧？

The statistics for your successful experiments depend — wait for it! — on your sense of the reality of what is happening. Your criterion for reality is routine and habit. Anything is real if it has happened several times. Something that has never happened cannot be real, right?

換句話說，對你來說，事情只有在符合你的世界觀模式時才是可能的。如果你不知道可以騎兩輪自行車，你就不會騎。這與幀的移動完全一樣。在你認為它不現實的情況下，你無法控制它。那麼你能做什麼來使它變得現實呢？你很快就會知道，我的寶貝們！

In other words, for you, things are only possible if they fit into the mould of your worldview. If you didn’t know that it was possible to ride a bike with two wheels, you wouldn’t be riding one. It’s exactly the same with the movement of the frame. You won’t be able to control it whilst you believe it to be unrealistic. So what can you do to make it real? You will find out very soon, my darlings!
