第15章 远见的力量 The Power of the Vision

芭芭拉·伯杰/Barbara Berger

How Are We Supposed to Live?

How then do enlightened men and women actually live?

Ask yourself.

Meditate on this question.

Find concrete answers.

Find solutions that you know in your heart will work.

This is what I envision:

First of all, life on Planet Earth, humanity as we know it, is evolving. This means we are capable of evolving, becoming better, higher, more loving.

We must“do unto others”... There is no other way, no other viable solution for ourselves or for the Planet.

And this“doing unto others” includes right thinking, too. In the next stage of our evolution our thoughts will be visible. (For those who are sensitive, they already are. ) Thus...“doing unto others includes” envisioning and seeking for others the very same Good that we envision and seek for ourselves. Yes, the Good of One is the Good of All.

This also means seeing the Divine in everyone, including people we dislike and our so-called“enemies”. We may condemn the way other people behave. In other words, we may dislike the outer man or woman and denounce his or her behavior, but we must recognize and salute, at all times, the Divinity within each and every person we meet on our way. We must wish them well and envision the Highest Good for them too, or again as Frederick Bailes put it: constantly entertain“an intense desire for the well-being of others.”

With this in mind, we will always make the right choices, for ourselves and the Planet.

Make That Shift Right Now.

Now is the time to practice Right Thinking. Now is the time to focus the power of your thoughts on the Highest and Best you can conceive of. Now is the time to move from old, outdated, worn-out models of existence and ego-based competition to actions which are in harmony with Nature and which promote love, health, peace and harmony among all Creatures and Beings on the Planet—for the Highest Good of All Concerned.

And make sure your thoughts are always Positive, Constructive, Beneficial and Specific in all of their aspects. For yourself and for everyone else. Use your power as a Conscious Choice-Maker wisely. Envision and manifest Deep Peace, Wisdom and Understanding, Perfect Health, Inexhaustible Vitality, Unshakable Joy, Wealth, Prosperity and Overflowing Abundance for yourself and for everyone else on the Planet.

Feel the Joy.

Think positively about the Planetary Shift in Consciousness that is taking place right now. See it happening. Feel it happening. Feel the Joy of it. Know in your Heart of Hearts that we, together, we the Conscious Choice-Makers, are now transforming Planet Earth, our home, into the Heavenly Paradise we see in our Minds' Eyes. See it, feel it and believe it... and it will manifest.

We are, all together now, who are singing and dancing, on the Road to Power!

And so it is.

我们该怎样生活？

文明的人们究竟该怎样生活？

问问你自己。

考虑一下这个问题。

找出具体的答案。

找出你心里的解决办法。

以下就是我的预想：

首先，在地球上生活，人类就如我们所知道的——进化。这就意味着我们有进化能力，会变得越来越好，越来越高级，越来越博爱。

我们必须“影响他人”……没有别的方法，对于我们自己或是地球来说，没有其他可行的解决方案。

而且，“影响他人”也包括正确的思想。在我们进化的下一个阶段，我们的思想也变得有远见了（对于那些灵敏的人，他们已经具备了）。因而，“影响他人”包括为他人预想和寻求我们自己所预见和寻求的善事。是的，一人之善即世人之善。

这也意味着看到了每个人的非凡之处，包括我们讨厌的人和我们称之为“敌人”的人。我们也许会声讨他人的行为。换言之，我们也许是讨厌其他人，声讨他们的行为，但是我们必须认识和尊重那些我们沿路遇到的每一个人的神圣，并且一直这样做。我们必须祝福他们安康，并预见他们的尽美尽善，或者正如弗雷德里克·贝尔斯的意思：始终接受“为了使他人安康的强烈欲望”。

将这种观念牢记在脑中，我们就会一直作出正确的选择，为了我们自己和我们的地球。

立即做出转变。

现在是实践正确想法的时候了。现在该将你的思想力量集中到你所想到的至高和至优的思想上了。现在要从老套、过时和破旧的存在模式和基于利己主义的竞争中解放出来，并与自然和谐一致，促进地球上的所有生物及人类的爱、健康、和平与和谐的发展——为了尽善尽美。

确定你的思想一直是积极的、有建设性的、有益的和明确的。为了你自己，也为了其他每一个人。用你的力量作一次有意识的选择——聪明地运用。为了你自己，也为了地球上的每一个人，预见和体现深度和平、智慧和理解，完美的健康、无尽的活力，不可动摇的快乐、财富、繁荣和丰富。

感受快乐。

乐观地思考，此时的行星正在有意识地发生转变。看着它发生，感受它发生，感受它的快乐。你的内心知道，我们是有意识的选择者，现在正一起改变我们的地球、我们的家园，使之成为我们在内心中所看到的极其优美的天堂。看着它，感受它，相信它……它会得到证明。

现在我们在一起，唱着，跳着，在力量的大道上！

就是这样。

现在是实践正确想法的时候了。现在该将你的思想力量集中到你所想到的至高和至优的思想上了。
