【艾克哈特.托利】《寧靜之空間》

當你不再單單從形象的表徵，頭腦意識去認知---你是誰---便從這種被囚禁的形式中變得自由。
這份自由是從內在的空間升起。它所帶來的是一份寧靜，在你內心之中一個精微的處所，即便是在某件表面上看似很壞的事物情形。這，同樣也會過去。突然間，圍繞著事件存在著（可轉機）的空間。圍繞情緒的高低起伏中也存在著空間，即便是痛苦的圍繞也是如此。在這一切之上，在你自身的想法中存在著空間。而從那份空間裡浮現出一種“不屬於這個世界”的平和，因為這個世界是一種形式，而平和是一份（臨在）的空間。這便是神的平和寧靜。

When you are no longer totally identified withforms, consciousness—who you are—becomes freed from itsimprisonment in form. This freedom is the arising of inner space.It comes as a stillness, a subtle peace deep within you, even inthe face of something seemingly bad. This, too, will pass.Suddenly, there is space around the event. There is also spacearound the emotional highs and lows, even around pain. And aboveall, there is space between your thoughts. And from that spaceemanates a peace that is not “of this world,” because this world isform, and the peace is space. This is the peace of God.


現在你能夠享受並遵從於這個世界，卻並不會給予它們一種價值和它們所沒有的意義。你能夠參與到創造的舞蹈中，十分活躍，且不會粘附於結果，也不會置放不合理或不切實際的要求給與這個世界：滿足我，讓我幸福，讓我感到安全，告訴我--我是誰。這個世界無法給與你這些，而當你不再持有這些期待的時候，所有自我創造的傷痛都會最終結束。所有這類遭受的痛苦是由於一種過高估價的形式，且對於內在空間次元的缺乏了解所造成。

Now you can enjoy and honour the things of this worldwithout giving them an importance and significance they don't have.You can participate in the dance of creation and be active withoutattachment to outcome and without placing unreasonable demands uponthe world: Fulfill me, make me happy, make me feel safe, tell mewho I am. The world cannot give you those things, and when you nolonger have such expectations, all self-created suffering comes toan end. All such suffering is due to an overvaluation of form andan unawareness of the dimension of inner space.


當這個維度（內在空間）在你的生命中出現，你就能夠享受事物，體驗，以及以不在它們之中迷失自己的感受享受愉悅，也沒有對於它們的內在粘附，即是說，不對這個世界沉迷。
這些話，也同樣，將只是所指向的事實而淡去。

When that dimension is present in your life, you canenjoy things, experiences, and the pleasures of the senses withoutlosing yourself in them, without inner attachment to them, that isto say, without becoming addicted to the world.
The words This, too, will pass are pointers towardreality.

在一切形象的“無常”中所指的，其暗示的便是，它們也同樣指向了永恆。只有處於你之內的永恆才能夠明晰因無常而顯現的無常之世界。

In pointing to the impermanence of all forms, byimplication, they are also pointing to the eternal. Only theeternal in you can recognize the impermanent asimpermanent.
