埃克哈特 临在时刻提醒

（1）如果你带着头脑走进一片森林，你将只会注意到声音，头脑会试着解读这些声音。你也许认为自己是临在的，但事实并非如此，你只是在简单判断你所听到的。但是如果你对于这些声音之下或者声音之间的宁静有所察觉，你就是临在的，因为在你觉知到外在宁静的那一刻，你的内在也变得宁静。

（2）所有行动的基础是有意识的存在。这是关于“什么是显化”这个问题的重要领会。在我们讨论显化之前，在我们建设任何新的建筑或结构之前，先打好基础。你有基础吗？不要在地基尚未打好的时候就开始建房子。

（3）谁知道存在还为我们准备了什么？我无法预见未来。我也无意知道。当下这一刻就已经足够美妙。

Who knows what is in store for us? I cannot predict the future. I'm not particularly interested. The present moment is wonderful enough.

（4）有些人做大事，有些人做表面看来不那么显赫的事。
从根本上说你做什么是次要的，你如何做才是重要的。

Some may do great things; others may do things that look less significant on the surface. Ultimately what you do is secondary. But how you do it is primary.

（5）如果你想要丰裕的生活，你得先找到这种丰裕的感觉才行。而这种感觉是与当下时刻分不开的。
如果你感到匮乏而试图创造出丰裕，你着实贬损了自己的力量。

If you want abundance, you need to find that sense of fullness first, which is inseparable from the present moment. Feel a sense of lack and then try to create abundance. Your power is greatly diminished.

（6）重要的是去欣赏生命中看上去平凡的事情。如果你不懂得欣赏平凡事物，一直期待着生命中发生重大的事情，你就总是在头脑中追寻究竟什么是伟大，而没有意识到真正的伟大正隐藏在平凡之中。

The essential thing is to appreciate the seemingly unremarkable in your life. If you don't appreciate the seemingly insignificant and you're waiting for something significant to happen to you, then you always pursue some idea of what is significant and fail to realize the significant is hiding in the insignificant.

（7）从那强烈的生命力，广大的临在之中，你可以感受到蕴藏在万物之中的活力。它不仅仅是对这把椅子的感觉，对这张桌子的感觉，对这杯水的感觉。深入这感觉，你可以感受到比你在表面感觉到的丰富得多的内容。你可以感受到万物都有一个临在，一个活生生的临在。当你在内在触及到它时，你不必等待生命中发生什么事来让你感到更加活生生。

It is from that place of intense aliveness, spacious presence, that you can appreciate the aliveness in all things. It is more than just the sense perception of the chair or the perception of the table or the glass of water. Within the sense perceptions you can sense that there is more than what you are perceiving on the surface; that everything has a presence, an alive presence to it. When you touch that within you, then you don't have to wait for something to happen in your life to feel more alive.

（8）不要低估临在之中的力量。即使如果看上去还没有什么事情发生，也存在一股巨大的能量通过你流入这世界。你不必试图了解它究竟想要什么，你最多只能对它的终极目的有过一瞥。没有任何个人在知性上了解这股想要通过你来到这世界的巨大能量的终极目标。

Don't underestimate the power that is in presence. Even if seemingly nothing much is happening yet, there's enormous power that comes through you and flows into this world. Don't even try to understand what it wants; you can only ever get glimpses of what its ultimate purpose is. There's no single human being who knows intellectually what that ultimate purpose of that vast power is that wants to come into this world through you.

（9）真的，无论来到这里的是什么，它就是神。你目之所及，就是神的显现，这个、那个、那个......在每一个有形事物之中你所真正热爱和欣赏的，是神圣的无形，那孕育了每一个有形事物的神圣的无形。但如果要感受到它，你必须先在你的内在感受到它。这就是在万物之中看见美，这就是它真正的意思。

So really what it comes down to, it's God. Wherever you look, it's God appearing as this, that, that…and what you really love and appreciate in each form is the divine formless out of which each form comes. But to be able to sense that you have to sense it in yourself first. And that is seeing the beauty in everything, that's really what it means.

（10）宇宙之心并没有一个具体的位置；它不是在外面的某个地方。它就隐藏在每个存在之中。

The heart of the universe does not have a particular location; it's not somewhere out there. It is concealed in every being.

（11）生命万物彼此相连，都来自于同一个生命的源头。感受内在身体的活力是我们意识到这一点的开端。

All life forms are connected and arise from the one source of life. Feeling the aliveness of the inner body is the beginning of realizing this.

（12）从最古老的时代至今，关于灵性真理的哲理一直贯穿始终 ---相同的真理以不同的语言，不同的形式一再显现。这就是关于觉醒的真理：与那个更大的智性步调一致地生活；臣服于当下时刻；停止在现实之上编纂故事，醒过来成为意识清晰的。

The perennial philosophy of spiritual truths runs through from the most ancient times to now—the same truths coming in different words, different forms. It's the truth of wakening: living in alignment with the greater intelligence; the truth of surrender to the present moment; the truth of letting go of imposing stories on reality, and waking up to sanity.   


（13）这整个教导都已在你之内。如果一本书或是其他教导是有力量的，你还能以其他怎样的方式来感受到它的力量呢？一定是你内在的某个东西认出了它，因为，对另一些人来说，一本灵性的书或教导可能毫无意义。


It's all in you. If a book or any other teaching is powerful, how else do you feel it? There must be something in you that recognizes it because there are others to whom a spiritual book or teaching would be meaningless.

（14）力量就在你之内。答案就在你之内。你就是你追寻的一切的答案：你就是那目标。你就是那答案。它从未在外面。

The power is in you. The answer is in you. And you are the answer to all your searches: you are the goal. You are the answer. It's never outside.

嘉静

（15）藉着在日常生活以及与他人互动中保持临在，你就在教导临在。因此，它就成了你生命目的的一部分。
By being present in daily life and in your interactions with others you teach presence. And so that is part of your purpose in life.

（16）如果这是你唯一的灵性练习，也足够了：撤销你对观念、立场、思维的认同。

If this were your only spiritual practice, it would be enough: to withdraw identification from opinions, positions, thoughts.

（17）真正的改变的基础就是从负面消极之中解脱出来。这正是接纳的含义：不再对当下所是抱以消极情绪。这样一来，你就看见了这一刻需要什么：要让生命全然地表达它自己，当下这一刻，需要的究竟是什么。

The basis for true change is freedom from negativity. And that's what acceptance implies: no negativity about what is. And then you see what this moment requires: what is it that is required now so that life can express itself more fully?

（18）在任何一段关系之中，尤其是婚姻关系中，尽量从强迫性思考里解脱出来。换句话说，如果在关系中有更多的空间 - 内在的空间 - 就有更多的爱，因为，爱正是从那内在的广阔空间中升起的。

In any relationship, especially marriage, be as free of compulsive thinking as possible. In other words, the more space there is in the relationship - inner space - the more love there is because love arises out of the inner spaciousness.

（19）无论你处在什么样的意识状态，它都会对整体意识 - 人类意识、星球意识产生影响。你不可能不以你的意识状态影响到其他人。

Whatever state of consciousness you are in has an effect on the totality of consciousness-human consciousness, planetary consciousness. You cannot not affect others by your state of consciousness.

（20）进入内在。利用你的内在身体作为一个起点，深入进去。将你的注意力从你过去常常停留的地方：你那不断思考的头脑中，转移开。

Go within. Use the inner body as a starting point for going deeper and taking your attention away from where it’s usually lodged, in the thinking mind.

（21）你们都知道，有个说法，它非常正确：你越是抗拒的，它越是不走。我相信你们中的很多人都已经在自己的生活中发现了这一点。然后，突然当你放下抗拒，你就放下了对某件事的执取：我需要实现这个才能快乐；我不想要此刻的现状，我想要别的。对此刻简单实相的接纳，对当下如是的接纳，就是真正的改变的开始。

You all know the saying which is very true: What you resist persists. And I’m sure many of you have already found that out in your life. And then suddenly when you let go of resistance you let go of an attachment to something: I need this to happen in order to be happy; I don’t want what is, I want something else. To be okay with what is, which is the simplicity of this moment, is the beginning of true change.

（22）在感官之下 -  在整个被感知的宇宙之下，是那个未显化的生命：那个永恒的合一意识，从这意识之中，衍生出生命万物的形式。而你，就是这合一的意识。

Underlying the sense - perceived universe there is the un-manifested life: the eternal one consciousness out of which every life form emerges. And you are that.

（23）伴随着觉知而来的，是选择。从而你能够说：“我允许这一刻如其本然地存在”。然后，突然，在那原本是厌恶的地方，现在取而代之的是一种充满活力和安详的感觉。从这感觉之中，正确的行动升起了。

With awareness there comes choice. And so you are able to say: "I allow this moment to be as it is". And then, suddenly, where before there was irritation, there is now a sense of aliveness and peace. And out of that comes right action.

（23）你不是“在”这宇宙之中，你就“是”这宇宙，你是这宇宙内在本质的一部分。从根本上说，你不是一个人，而是使这宇宙越来越觉知到它自己的一个聚焦所在。这真是一个不可思议的奇迹。

You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.

（24）头脑功能失调的模式之一，是以为当下总是需要被什么东西填满。当然你必须做一些事情，但是，请看看你是否可以同时经验这一刻无边无际的广阔，这一刻本自具足的美好，无论当下之中包含着什么。

One of the dysfunctional patterns of the mind is the assumption that the Now needs to be filled with something all the time. Of course you have to do things, but see if you can also experience the spaciousness of this moment, the inherent goodness of this moment, regardless of what it contains.

（25）有个人，我不记得是谁了，曾经说过：“当你抵达那里，那里并不存在。”这句话不仅适用于空间位置，同时也适用于时间：当你到达未来，你会发现自己身处于当下这一刻。所以未来从不到来。别让这些关于未来（或是过去）的思想遮盖了当下的珍贵。

Somebody, I don't recall who, once said: "When you get there, there's no there there". This applies not only to location in space, but also to time: when you get to the future, you find yourself in the present moment. So the future never comes. Don't let the thought of future (or past) obscure the preciousness of the present moment.

（26）要全然地经验任何事，要清晰地看清楚任何事，就必须有一个临在的时刻，在那一刻里，你的体验没有被概念性的思考打扰。

To experience anything fully and see it clearly there must be a moment of presence where conceptual thinking is not interfering with your experience of that moment.

嘉静

（27）当你因为一些问题感到困惑，或是觉得有压力时，专注于“这一刻”，问你自己：此时此刻我有什么问题？你会发现在“当下”之中，并没有问题。也许，有一个挑战需要你的行动，但它不是一个问题。
When you feel confused or burdened by problems focus on THIS INSTANT and ask yourself: WHAT PROBLEM DO I HAVE RIGHT NOW? You will find that there is no problem NOW. A challenge that requires action, possibly, but not a problem.

（28）实际上，人们说的、想的、做的，绝大部分都是由恐惧驱使，当然，这恐惧总是与你专注于未来而失去了与当下的连接有关。既然当下之中没有问题存在，那么也就没有恐惧。

A great deal of what people say, think, or do is actually motivated by fear, which of course is always linked with having your focus on the future and being out of touch with the Now. As there are no problems in the Now, there is no fear either.

（29）当你制造一个问题，你就制造了痛苦。需要的全部只是一个简单的选择，一个简单的决定：无论发生什么，我都不再给自己制造痛苦。我不再制造任何问题。

When you create a problem, you create pain. All it takes is a simple choice, a simple decision: No matter what happens, I will create no more pain for myself. I will create no more problems.

（30）当你在这一刻是临在的，你打破了你的故事的连续性，那个关于过去和未来的故事。然后，真正的智慧就升起了，真正的爱就升起了。

When you are present in this moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love.

亲爱的，我该怎样拥抱你。

这几天有好几个困惑，你摘录的文字帮了我大忙！

卯田妈妈

今天早晨， 清理空间时，数次憋得差点要死的感觉。我对自己的那个什么说，你可以继续这么干，但是，我这一口气上不来，你也就没有生存之地了。哈哈，真不知道谁是谁，谁在说话了。反正，我这一口气后来还是顺畅了。现在，还活着。

卯田妈妈

当我看到身后有车，我立刻快快穿过马路，好让他通过。我看到了，“我不愿意那开车的人讨厌我”。呵呵。很好玩。我原来以为自己挺有修养，挺照顾别人的呢。

卯田妈妈

在摘录一些，这一句一下子给了我歧义，或者说是我自己的问题吧。这一句我觉得这样翻译更让我自己明白：
Feel a sense of lack and then try to create abundance. Your power is greatly diminished.如果你感到匮乏而试图创造出丰裕，你本身的力量就被大大削弱了。
