#十二聖夜靜思3: 12月26至27日
神聖之夜(三) 12 月 26–27 日——雙魚座 三月
現在,接續而來的是白百合的三個夜晚。
靈魂認知到自己無法停留在高處,而必須再次下降;因為它仍然承載著過多的塵世重量。
有意識的心智開始淨化塵世的身體,並將每一份食物視為旅途的給養(viaticum)。
「我是生命之糧」(基督耶穌的話)。
我們來自麵包,
我們活在麵包的發展之路中,
最終也回歸於麵包。
這個奧秘在於:
永遠不要忘記,最終的目標是離開塵世領域的完成。
第三個觀照
當我們擁有靈性的洞見時,便會看見自己其實是整體(All)的一部分。
然而,我們也可能因此受到誘惑——
不論自己做了什麼,都認為自己依然是整體的一部分。
這樣的選擇意味著:
我們在旅程中停滯不前,只是懷抱某種信念,覺得總有一天會抵達目的地。
但我們同時也必須運用這份靈性洞見,去看清自己所攜帶的行囊(包袱);
若不這麼做,便是對這種靈性能力的誤用。
我們不想去看這些行囊,
因為我們以為,一旦直視它們,自己就沒有力量去篩選與清理。
那麼,這些行囊是什麼呢?
它們是:
我們的怨恨、
缺乏寬恕、
恐懼、
缺乏愛、
固執的意見、
片面性、
嫉妒、
低估自己、
高估自己……
這個清單還可以一直延續下去。
這些行囊屬於我們的低我、低層自我意識,
正是這個低我,曾在這些事物中找到力量並得以發展。
如今,既然我們已接近高我、
接近我們的「我是(I Am)」——也就是生命之糧,這些東西對我們來說已不再有用。事實上,現在我們所需要的,正是這些品質的完全相反面。
放下自己的意見,
會帶給我們更大的自由,
讓我們能看見更多、更多。
愛他人原本的樣子,遠比決定「要愛誰、不愛誰」來得容易得多。
即使寬恕他人未必立刻帶來滿足感,
但當我們寬恕時,世界便已因此而改變。

Holy Night 3
December 26-27 – Pisces
March
Now follow the Three Nights of the White Lily.
The soul recognizes that it cannot stay above but must come down again; because in it, it possesses too much earthly weight.
The conscious mind begins to purify the earthly body and assumes that each food is as a viaticum (provision for a journey). "I am the bread" (words of Christ Jesus).
We come from the bread, we live in the path of development of the bread and return to the bread.
The Mystery: Never forget the accomplishment of the distant objectives of leaving the earthly realm.
Third Contemplation:
When we have spiritual insight we see that we are really part of the All.
Then we are tempted to see ourselves as part of the All regardless of what we do.
This choice means that we stand still on our journey and have some kind of faith that we will get there one day.
However, we need also to use this spiritual insight to see the baggage that we carry; not to do so is a misuse of this spiritual ability.
We don’t want to look at the baggage because we think that if we look at it we won’t have the strength to sift through it.
So what is the baggage?
Our grudges, our lack of forgiveness, our fear, our lack of love, our opinions, our one sidedness, our jealousy, undervaluing ourselves, overvaluing ourselves, the list goes on.
This baggage belongs to our lower self, our lower ego which found the strength to develop itself in all these things.
Now that we have come within reach of our higher self, our I Am, which is the bread of life, we no longer have use for these things.
In fact, now we need the exact opposite of these things.
Leaving aside our opinions gives us the freedom to see much, much more.
Loving others as they are is so much easier than deciding who to love and who not to love.
While we may not experience instant gratification from forgiving others when we forgive we change the world.
