內在真相


接觸內在的"真相", 能提供我們一種得以通盤領會的全觀性視野,而所謂的真相指是某種能夠帶給我們意義感的東西,或能夠與當下發生事產生一致性。它不只是心智上的解釋,而是一種能夠帶給我們意義感的感受。它能夠被我們的心及靈魂所理解。當這種真相被揭露時我們能夠感受到一種洞見或了悟,且能夠被心智所理解。


Seeing something that we call truth--something that gives meaning or coherence to what is happening--give us an overall picture we can comprehend. It's not only a mental explanation but a felt sense of it being experientially meaningful to us. It makes sense to our heart, to our soul. As this meaning is revealed, we have the experience of insight in our heart, we discover some truth, something we can then know in our mind.

做自己首先要覺察當下所處的情境,雖然覺察當下所處的情境並不必然代表我們就能夠展現我們自己,這只是個開始,但是因為他帶有某種真我的元素,味道或感受在裡面,而正是這種感受讓我們確立這便是內在的真相,無論我們在哪,感受是什麼,內在經驗都會由某種方式與我們的自性產生關聯。


Being who we are requires first finding out where we are. And although being aware of where we are does not necessarily mean we are being ourselves yet, it's a start. That's because it contains an element or flavour of our true self. And that flavour, or that element, is what we call "truth". "So whatever we are, whatever our experience happens to be, is related to our True Nature in some way.


From "True Nature," a chapter of "The Unfolding Now," segment titled "Being Aware of Where You Are," p. 11

關鍵是,如果我們能找出當下經驗是如何與自性產生關聯的,那我們就能更親近的碰觸到我們的自性,這種接觸被稱作內在的真相。這要如何做到呢?起初,當你已對當下情境有些識別的能力時,你仍然對於當下發生了什麼不完全了解,因為我們對於多數的內在經驗都是在半意識狀態,且無法領會內在經驗的運作!當我們與自己的內在經驗產生越親密的接觸,並能真正的了解,我們可以說你看見了內在的真相,但是什麼是內在的真相?為什麼會有這樣的東西?


The Key is: If you can find a way to understand how your present experience is related to your True Nature, then you are closer to accessing that True Nature--and that access is called truth. So how can you do that? At first, even when you have some sense about where you. are, you don't understand all that is happening in a given situation. Most of our experience is half conscious and not comprehended. When you are more fully intimate with your experience, and have some real understanding of it, you can then say that you are seeing the truth of your experience. But what is the truth of our experience, and why is there such a thing?


內在真相本身便是出於自性的表露,這種由於自性的表露所感受到的真相,我們稱作終極實相。若要了解自己的內在經驗,就必需把它與自性的關聯看清楚。這是為什麼當我們看見內在真相,便會感到真實感,感到更接近我們的自性,因為我們開始看見內在經驗與自性的關聯性。


Truth is always an expression of our True Nature, which is the ultimate truth. To understand. your experience, you need to see how it is related to your True Nature, how it is connected to who and what you really are. That is why every time you understand your experience and see the truth, you feel a little more real, you feel nearer to your True Nature--because you are beginning to see how the experience is related to who you really are.
