(Rainbow Wave of Light)

God said:
神說：

Everything in the world is a symbol. Christmas lights are a symbol of lighted hearts. The symbol, consciously or subconsciously, reminds you of all the light that goes on in the human heart. It is a reminder. Let the love in your heart be seen. Turn on the light in your heart.
世上的一切都是象徵。聖誕燈是點燃心中的象徵。該符號有意識或無意識地使你想起了人類心中所有的光。這是一個提醒。讓你內心的愛被看見。點亮了你心中的光。

Symbols are required in the world. Santa Claus is a symbol of giving. Wrapped gifts are a symbol of giving. Naturally, there is a greater than an electric train or the most desired doll or anything you wrap and put under the tree.
There’s no fun in obligation. Make sure that your heart goes with the gift you give. Make sure that you have delight in the gift-giving. Nothing is given unless joy goes along with it. If you cannot think of the right gift, if you cannot think of something material that is just right for the person you are giving to, then give them something that they can share with others. Chocolates are an old stand-by. Flowers. A plant.
世界上必須有符號。聖誕老人是奉獻的象徵。包裝好的禮物是奉獻的象徵。自然地，有比電動火車更大的東西，最需要的玩偶或包裹在樹下的任何東西。
義務沒有樂趣。確保你的心與所送的禮物同在。確保你對送禮感到滿意。除非伴隨著喜悅，否則什麼也不會給予。如果你想不出合適的禮物，或者你想不出適合你所贈予的人的物質，那麼就給他們一些可以與他人分享的東西。巧克力是舊的待用產品。花卉。植物。

Gifts are meant to be tokens of love. Pull those tokens out of your heart, and give them.
禮物是愛的象徵。將這些象徵物從你的心中拉出來，並給予它們愛。

During the year when there is no holiday or special event, still be thinking of what you can give. A note of appreciation is good. A toy whistle. Anything at all so that someone knows he is in your heart and welcome there. It is a wonderful gift to think of someone and to let them know you are thinking of them. And then they will think to pass on the light you gave to them to someone else.
在沒有假期或特別活動的那一年，仍然在考慮可以提供什麼。感謝狀是很好的。玩具哨子。任何讓某人知道他在你心中並歡迎在那裡的事情。想到某人並讓他們知道你在想他們是一件很棒的禮物。然後他們會考慮將你給他們的光傳遞給其他人。

This is how love grows in the human heart.
這就是愛在人心中增長的方式。

It is your heart you are to give on all occasions and for no occasion at all. The opportunity to give a dewdrop of love exists. You will find it.
你要在任何場合都付出，這是你的心，這是你絕不應該放棄的。存在給予愛的露珠機會。你會找到它的。

Allow your heart to become soft, not hard. Unharden your heart. De-ice it. Start right now. Let your heart melt in love. There is every occasion to give love. There is no occasion to withhold it. I know you think there is. You think there are plenty of pitfalls around, and so you lift up the skirt of your heart, careful to keep your heart above the throng.
讓你的心變得柔軟而非硬硬。解開你的心。給它除冰。立即開始。讓你的心在愛中融化。到處都有愛。沒有機會保留它。我知道你認為有。你認為周圍有很多陷阱，因此你抬起自己的裙子，小心地將心保持在人群上方。

Beloveds, when you give with thought of return, you haven’t given. You have been fishing. You have been trying to catch something.
親愛的，當你想到回報時，你就沒有付出。你一直在釣魚。你一直在嘗試捕捉某些東西。

When your heart feels hurt, you have been expecting something, and you didn’t get it. You may like to think you are sensitive and that others are insensitive, but let Me tell you squarely, that is your ego whispering in your ear. Your ego takes affront. That’s what ego does. Ego tells you that you are owed something, and an individual or two or life itself has been remiss, and so you sniffle.
當你的心受傷時，你一直在期待某件事，但是你沒有得到。你可能想以為自己很敏感，而其他人則不敏感，但是讓我直截了當地告訴你，這就是你的小我在耳邊竊竊私語。你的小我冒犯。小我就是這麼做的。小我告訴你，你欠了某物，一個或兩個人或生命本身已經被解僱，所以你會嗤之以鼻。

Beloveds, if you are owed anything, you owe it to yourself to open your heart and give and give and give. It really is not your heart that aches. It is your ego. You are trying to stand up for yourself, or defend yourself. There is no need. What you need is to give more. Preoccupy yourself with giving and not with feeling hurt.
親愛的，如果你被欠任何東西，你就應該敞開心，奉獻、奉獻、奉獻。真的不是你的心在痛。這是你的小我。你正在努力站起來或捍衛自己。沒有必要。你需要的是付出更多。全神貫注於付出，而不是感到受傷害。

Do not compare the gifts you give with what you receive or don’t receive. That is a blind alley. Don’t go down it.
請勿將你贈送的禮物與收到、或沒有收到的禮物進行比較。那是一條死胡同。不要下去。

This is one advantage in giving anonymously. You don’t expect anything in return, not even a thank you.
這是匿名提供的優點之一。你不會期望得到任何回報，甚至也不會感謝你。

And that is how you want to give, just old-fashioned giving from a heart that knows its role in life and loves to play it.
這就是你要付出的方式，只是老式的奉獻，要知道自己在生活中的作用並且喜歡玩它。
