Sanhia-為什麼不是現在?

Greetings,
問候，

Usually with these messages I’m answering a question that someone has asked, or I’m dealing with something that came up in a discussion or conversation with an individual or a group. But, this time I take full credit for the question. It is my question to you. Why not now? Do you look at your awakening process, your ascension, or your spiritual path and think that someday you hope to wake up? Do you assume that, sooner or later, you will drop your ego?
通常我會在信息中回答某個人詢問的問題，或者我會處理個人或團體在討論或交談中出現的東西。但這一次我來提問。我的問題是。為什麼不是現在？你有看向你的覺醒進程、揚昇或者精神道路，希望有一天你會醒來嗎？你是否假設，遲早，你會放下你的小我？

If those are your thoughts I guarantee you that you are right. Someday it will happen, but it will not be today. And guess what kids, today is the only day you have. No matter how much you might wish it to be tomorrow, or even yesterday, it is always today. To say “someday” is to say “never”. It will never be someday. It will only be the eternal now. Why not now? The choice is now or never (fortunately in the eternal now you can always re-choose). Those are the choices you have. There is no tomorrow. There is no next year or next lifetime. There is only the eternal now. Everything else belongs to the ego. If you wish to release the ego, the only thing you can do is to be 100% in this moment.
如果這是你的想法，我向你保證你是對的。有一天它會發生，但不會是今天。猜猜怎麼著，孩子們，今天是你唯一擁有的一天。無論你多麼希望是明天或甚至昨天，它總是今天。說“有一天”就是說“永遠”。它永遠會是有一天。它只能是永恆的當下。為什麼不是現在？現在就選擇（幸運的是，在永恆的當下，你總是能夠重新選擇）。那就是你擁有的選擇。沒有明天。沒有明年或下輩子。只有永恆的當下。其它的一切都從屬於小我。如果你希望釋放小我，你可以做的唯一的事情就是100%處於這個時刻。

There is a wonderful English term called procrastination, which means “putting things off”. This is not considered to be an admirable quality by the mass consciousness. The popular saying is, “never put off until tomorrow what you can do today”. My suggestion to people has always been the reverse, “Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow”. Today is for what is really important. If there isn’t a significant reason for action, such as inner guidance or a strong desire, why give it time in your present? Put it on the back burner until it is time for action, if ever. Is waking up really important? If it isn’t important enough to give your full focus to it today, admit that and stop playing games with yourself. Acknowledge if it is not so important to you to ascend, even though it might be fun to play around with. Be honest with yourself and say that you are not choosing to awaken at this time. On the other hand, you may realize that you really do want to drop your ego, but you d on’t know how to do it, so you wonder how it could be today. If the latter represents your thinking, you are at the right place at the right time. The purpose of this message is to explain to you what the eternal now means and how to always be here.
英語裡面有一個很棒的詞，叫做procrastination（拖延症），意味著“擱置一旁”。這並不被集體意識認為是一個令人欽佩的品質。流行的說法是“永遠不要把今天可以做的事情推遲到明天”。我的建議總是相反的“永遠不要在今天做你可以推遲到明天的事情”。今天是給予真正重要的事情的。

如果沒有一個重要的行動原因，比如內在的指引或強烈的渴望，為什麼要在你的當下給予它空間？

把它放到次要位置，直到是時候行動。甦醒真的重要嗎？如果它不夠重要讓你把今天所有的專注都放到它身上，承認這一點，停止與自己玩遊戲。認識到揚昇對你來說是否很重要。對自己誠實，比如說你並不選擇在這個時刻覺醒。另一方面，你可能會意識到你真的想要放下你的小我，但你不知道如何去做，所以你好奇它怎麼會是今天。如果後者代表你的想法，你在正確的時間處於正確的地點。這則信息的目標就是向你揭示永恆的當下意味著什麼以及如何總是處於這裡。

The eternal now means “this very moment”. Nothing else matters. If you can successfully stay in the eternal now, you will awaken. So, you commit yourself to waking up, to remaining in the eternal now. Nothing is of greater importance. With everything else you can procrastinate, except this – if you want to awaken. There is no “should” about this. It cannot come from guilt; it must come from a deep desire or even from total desperation. This is not a comfortable process to go through. It is easy for the ego to find a way for you to skip out on it. If, however, you are aware of the pain and suffering that the ego always brings and you wish to drop it forever; if you want to let go of the specialness, the victimhood, the neediness, the emotional swings, the grief, and of feeling unloved and unlovable, and you realize there is no other way, then go for it. You do that by being vigilant with every thought and feeling you experience. If you sense or recognize that the thought or feeling is e go driven, ask the hard questions. Is this really true? If it isn’t really true, what changes does that bring to what you do and feel?
永恆的當下意味著“此時此刻”。其它的都不重要。如果你可以成功處於永恆的當下，你會甦醒。所以，你致力於甦醒，處於永恆的當下。沒什麼比這更重要。其它的都可以拖延，除了這個---如果你想要甦醒。對此沒有“應該”，它無法來自內疚；它必須來自深度的渴望或來自徹底的絕望。這不會是一個舒服的進程。很容易讓小我找到一個方法讓你滑出。無論如何，如果你意識到小我總是帶給你的痛苦，你希望永遠放下它；如果你想要放下特殊、受害者、貧困、情感搖擺、悲傷、不被愛的感受，你意識到沒有其它的辦法，那麼就去做。你通過警覺每一個體驗到的想法和感受來做到。如果你感到或認識到那個想法或感受是小我驅動的，詢問艱難的問題。這真的是真的嗎？如果它不是，它會帶給你你所做和你的感受什麼改變？

Being committed to the eternal now and to awakening means that you embrace and welcome absolutely everything that comes into your life. You don’t reject anything; you don’t push anything away. You don’t say to yourself that this isn’t what you want. You don’t judge anything that happens as wrong or bad. You stop pretending that you are in control and that you know howyour life should be. You realize that if you knew how to awaken, you would be awake. How silly would it be to know and yet to stay asleep. Obviously, you don’t have a clue what is good for you. Admit it. You have expressed to Spirit your wish to awaken, your wish to understand and live the truth, your wish to leave your ego. Therefore Spirit brings to you that opportunity in every moment. Are you embracing these gifts? If not, why not? Those are the questions to ask yourself. Is this the place where you think you know better than God, that you realize what would wake you up?
致力於永恆的當下並甦醒，意味著你擁抱並歡迎進入你生活的一切。你不拒絕任何東西；你不推開任何東西。你不對自己說這不是你想要的。你不評判發生的錯誤或不好的事情。你停止假裝你處於掌控或你知道你的生活應該如何。你意識到如果你知道如何甦醒，你就會甦醒。知道但依舊保持沉睡會是多麼愚蠢。很明顯，你不知道什麼對你有好處。承認這一點。你向精神表達你希望甦醒，你希望明白並活出真理，你希望離開你的小我。因此精神在每個時刻帶給你那個機會。你擁抱這些禮物嗎？如果不，為什麼不？這是你需要問自己的問題。這是你認為你比神都懂，你知道什麼會喚醒你的地方嗎？

To awaken is to be enormously humble, the humility that comes from realizing that you don’t know anything. You don’t even comprehend what is good for you. In that humility, a place of trust is allowed. Everything that happens is for your greater good, no exceptions. Is it required that you understand the meaning of your gift? If it is for your good, would understanding really matter? It is acceptance, not understanding, that you seek. If it is for your greater good to understand, then explanations will be provided. It is that simple. If acceptance is hard, you have directions for your task for today. You believe something to be true that is not true. What is it? This moment is the time to do this work, not tomorrow, next week, or….. The alternative is to face the fact that you don’t really want to wake up that much; you only want a fun game. You will be able to enjoy the ego illusion more if you don’t pretend that you want to leave it behind. In that case, you will have a constant, lin gering sense of failure, of not being good enough. You will have another reason to beat yourself up. That is the ego’s game. If you are honest about it being a game, you can possibly have fun, win or lose (but of course you will lose). In Spirit’s game, Spirit takes your hand and asks, “Why not now?” Tell me one good, true reason why you cannot awaken right now, one excuse for why you have to stay attached to the ego illusion and to take it seriously. Give me one proof why things have to be a certain way in order for you to be okay. Why not now?
甦醒就是變得非常謙卑，謙卑來自意識到你不知道任何東西。你甚至不明白什麼對你有好處。在那個謙卑中，一個信任之地被允許。發生的一切都是為了你的更高良善，沒有例外。需不需要去明白你天賦的含義？如果它是為了你的良善，理解真的重要嗎？你尋求的是接納，不是理解。如果理解是為了你更大的良善，那麼解釋會被提供。就這麼簡單。如果接納很難，你會有對你今天任務的說明。你相信不是真的的東西是真的。它是什麼？這個時刻是做這個工作的時刻，不是明天、下週或...另一個辦法就是面對你真的不想要那麼清醒的事實；你只想要一個有趣的遊戲。如果你不假裝你想要離開小我的幻象，你能夠更加享受它。在這樣的情況中，你會有一個恆常的揮之不去的失敗感、不夠好感。你會有另一個去斥責自己的理由。這是小我的遊戲。如果你誠實地承認它是一個遊戲，你可能會玩得開心，贏或輸（但當然你會輸）。

在精神的遊戲中，精神牽起你的手並問“為什麼不是現在？”告訴我一個真正的好理由，為什麼你現在不能醒來，為什麼你必須依附於小我的幻象，要認真對待它。給我一個證據，為什麼事物必須是某個樣子以便讓你變得OK。為什麼不是現在？

An important awareness to have is whether or not you are presently in the eternal now. If you are thinking about something that happened in the past, no matter how recent or far back, you are not in the eternal now. Your job is to notice that your mind is traveling in the past and be aware of how that affects you at this moment. Are you angry? Do you feel victimized? Are you guilty, blaming yourself for past choices or actions? There is no way to be living in the past and also to be in the eternal now, awake, and free of the ego. One choice is to ask Spirit to help you let go of the past and to bring your focus back to the present. Maybe there is something you are holding on to that you believe about the past that it is time to release, to change that belief. For example, you might think that because your father treated you in a certain way you are left emotionally vulnerable. Is your father there in the room with you in this moment? Probably not. Maybe he is not even in a body anymore . Yet, are you inviting him into your present to control your life? Why do you choose to do that? In truth, what power can a memory of another person have on you in the present moment? The answer is none.
一個重要的意識需要去擁有就是你是否處於永恆的當下。如果你在思考發生在過去的事情，無論多近或多古老，你不處於永恆的當下。你的工作是注意到你的頭腦在過去旅行，意識到這會如何影響此刻的你。你憤怒嗎？你感到是受害者嗎？你對過去的選擇或行為感到內疚、責備自己嗎？沒有辦法生活在過去又生活在當下，醒來，自由於小我。一種選擇是請求精神幫助你放下過去，將你的專注帶回當下。也許有著過去的什麼你緊抓著，但是時候釋放，去改變那個信念。比如說，你可能認為因為你的父親對待你的方式讓你變得情感脆弱。此刻你的父親和你處於同一個房間嗎？也許不。也許他都不再處於身體中。但，你在邀請他進入你的當下來控制你的生活。為什麼你要選擇這麼做？事實上，對另一個人的記憶在這個當下會對你產生什麼影響？答案是什麼都沒有。

You are doing this to yourself. How crazy is that? An idea has been planted in your mind about yourself that is not true and you are still repeating it to yourself. Look at this thought, this untruth. Whatever it is, it isn’t true. Look at it until you understand that and then choose your thoughts. If you are in the eternal now, nothing matters except what is in this moment. Your job is to do whatever it takes to release the past. Change your mind. When you realize, accept, and trust that everything that happens to you is perfect, that includes the past. It was absolutely perfect that you had the father you had. Spirit could not have done better. It was precisely what you needed for your spiritual growth. Your job is to feel gratitude for that, to feel love for all that your father did for you. Your vision widens when you see through Spirit’s eyes. Ego looks at the past and sees self as a victim. Spirit points out where your eyes were closed and helps you to open them to see the truth of what really happened. It doesn’t matter whether you opened them then or you do it today. Time isn’t real. The eternal now is real. What you see in this moment is true for all time. You can choose to carry your pain with you through all time or release it. The past is an enormous venue of not being here now. You can’t be two places at once.
你在對自己這麼做著。這是有多瘋狂？一個關於你的想法被種植到你的頭腦中，並不是真的，你依舊在對自己重複它。看向這個想法，這個虛假。無論是什麼，它不是真的。看向它直到你明白它，然後選擇你的想法。如果你處於永恆的當下，沒什麼重要，除了處於這個當下的東西。你的工作是做所需的來釋放過去。改變你的想法。當你意識到、接納、相信發生的一切都是完美的，包括過去。擁有那樣的父親是絕對完美的。精神不能做得更好了。那是你精神成長切實所需的。

你的工作就是對此表達感恩，對你父親所做的一切感到愛。當你通過精神的眼睛去看，你的視野擴張。小我看向過去，視自己為受害者。精神指出你的眼睛在那裡關閉，幫助你打開它們看到真正發生什麼。你是在那時打開它們還是今天都不重要。時間不是真實的。永恆的當下才是真實的。你在這個時刻看到的時刻都是真實的。你可以選擇時刻攜帶著你的痛苦或者釋放它。過去是一個巨大的並不處於此刻的場所。你無法同時處於兩個地方。

Then, of course, there is the future. What if this happens? Am I prepared for that? All the fear that you feel over what you should be doing to create your best possible future takes you out of the eternal now. And what about all of the things you believe you have no control over: accidents, disease, death, world events? This is all ego insanity. There is no future; there is just eternal now. If you are taking care of the present, you are taking care of the only place you will ever be. All happens in the eternal now. Anything that comes into your experience is perfect. Remind yourself that you have no conscious awareness of what that perfect is. All you can do is receive what comes with humility and gratitude. When you notice you have a fear about the future, your only job is to look at the truth of that belief. It is never your job to change the world. Your only task is to change your mind, to release untruths. If you are fully in the eternal now you will have no time for tomorrow. Th is moment will keep your hands and mind full. One of these days you will notice that all of those old fears about the future are gone. That day will be the one where you finally find yourself firmly rooted in the eternal now.
然後，當然，有著未來。如果這發生呢？我為它準備好了嗎？你對你應該做什麼來創造最好的未來所感到的所有恐懼讓你離開永恆的當下。如果你認為你無法掌控的所有東西：意外、疾病、死亡、世界事件？都是小我的精神錯亂。沒有未來。只有永恆的當下。如果你照顧好當下，你就照顧好你可以處於的唯一之地。一切發生在永恆的當下。進入你體驗的任何東西都是完美的。提醒自己你不知道那個完美是什麼。你可以做的就是伴隨著謙卑和感恩接納前來的。當你注意到你對未來有著一個恐懼，你唯一的工作就是看向那個信念的真理。改變世界從未是你的工作。你唯一的任務是改變你的想法，釋放虛假。如果你完全處於永恆的當下，你就沒有時間留給明天。這個時刻會佔據你所有的手和頭腦。總有一天你會注意到所有那些舊的關於未來的恐懼都消失了。那一天會是你終於發現自己牢牢紮根於當下的日子。

It is an enormous habit to be in the past or the future, rather than to be in the eternal now. It requires willingness, an intention, and finally a discipline to be here. Ask Spirit for support. Ask to be gently reminded when you are drifting. There may be work for you to do concerning your beliefs about the past and the future. The work you do with them is in this moment. If you are in the past or the future, you can be sure that you are not dealing with truth. Leave your little confused ego mind and go sit with us above the battlefield. Look down at your silly little you with loving acceptance. Enjoy the humor of your running around with your head cut off. Each moment you are a little more in the eternal now. You are willing to be shown the next step. That step is being shown to you at this very moment. In the scope of time, this challenge seems enormous. In the eternal now it is just one step. To return to the beginning, your only job is to be present. If you are not there, do whate ver it takes to release time. Thoughts of hopelessness or helplessness are not in the eternal now. Neither of them is true. If the thought comes that someday, probably, everybody, including yourself, will wake up, my question is “Why not now?” Why do you want to put it off? You feel incapable of doing it right now. Why? Why stop yourself with an ego lie? Don’t give up on yourself. Why not now?
處於過去或未來而不是永恆的當下是一個巨大的習慣。需要意願、意圖、最終自律來處於當下。請求精神的支持。請求當你飄離就溫柔地提醒你。關於你對未來和過去的信念可能會有工作要去做。你要做的工作位於這個當下。如果你處於過去或未來，你可以確信你沒有在處理真相。離開你小小的困惑的小我頭腦，和我們一起處於戰場上方。

伴隨著有愛的接納看向你傻傻的小小的自己。享受你沒有腦袋在跑來跑去的幽默。每個時刻你更多地處於當下時刻。你願意被展示下一個步伐。那個步伐在這個時刻被展示給你。

在時間的領域，這個挑戰看似是巨大的。在永恆的當下它只是一個步伐。要回到起始，你唯一的工作是處於當下。如果你不在那裡，做所需的來釋放時間。絕望或無助的想法並不在永恆的當下。沒有一個是真實的。如果想法是有一天、也許、每個人、包括自己，會醒來，我的問題是“為什麼不是現在？”為什麼你想要推遲它？你感到無法現在就去做。為什麼？為什麼要用一個小我的謊言阻止自己？不要放棄自己。為什麼不是 現在？
