Quotation No. 234

A problem cannot be solved if you do not know what it is. Even it is really solved already you will still have the problem, because you will not recognize that it has been solved. This is the situation of the world. The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has already been solved. Yet ths solution is not recogniized because the problem is not recognized.

（你若不知道问题所在，就无法对症下药。纵使问题实际上已经解决了，你的问题还在，因为你尚未认出问题已解决了。这就是当今世界的处境。它唯一真正的问题就是分裂，而这问题早已解决了。先认清问题所在，否则便无从认出解决的方案。） （Workbook-79 1：1）

Quotation No. 233

The world trains for reliance on one’s judgment as the criterion for maturity and strengths. Our curriculum trains for the relinquishment of judgment as the necessary condition of salvation.

（世俗训练人信赖自己的判断，并以此作为衡量成熟与坚强的标准。我们的课程则训练我们把放弃判断作为得救的必需条件。） （Manual for teachers-9 2：5）

 

Quotation No. 232

Remember how many times you thought you knew all the "facts" you need for judgment, and how wong you were! Is there anyone who has not had this experience? Would you know how many times you merely thought you were right, without ever realizing you were wrong? Why would you choose such an arbitrary basis for decision making?

（你还记得有多少次你认为自己知道判断时所需要的一切“事实”，而结果却错得离谱吗？有谁没有这种经验呢？你可知道，有多少次你只是以为自己是对的，毫不明白自己根本错了？你为何选择这样武断的基础作为你决定的凭据？）  （Manual for teachers-10 4：1）

Quotation No. 231

Wisdom is not judgment; it is the relinquishment of judgment.

（智慧不是判断，而是消除判断。） （Manual of teachers-10 4：5）

 

Quotation No. 230

If the patient must change his/her mind in order to be healed, what does the teacher of God do? Can he change the patient’s mind for him/her? Certainly not. For those already willing to change their minds he has no function except to rejoice with them, for they have become teachers of God with him.

（如果病患者必须先改变自己的心灵，才能获得痊愈，那么上主之师还能作什么？他能替病患者改变其心灵吗？当然不能。凡是已经愿意改变心灵的人，上主之师的唯一任务就是与他们一起欢乐庆祝，因为他们已和他一起跻身于上主之师的行列了。）  （Manual of teachers-5 （3）1：1）

 

 

Quotation No. 229

Who is the physician? Only the mind of the patient himself/herself… Special agents seem to be ministering to him/her, yet they but give form to his/her own choice. And it is this they do, and nothing else. They are not actually needed at all.

（谁是医生？病患者自己的心灵就是医生… 表面上好似有某些特殊的助缘，其实那些助缘只是为他/她自己的抉择提供某种形式罢了。他/她选择那些助缘，也只是以可感受到的形式来显示自己的愿望。它们的作用仅此而已。它们实际上没有存在的必要。） （Manual of teachers-V （2）2：5）

。

Quotation No. 228

The acceptance of sickness as a decision of the mind, for a purpose for which it would use the body, is the basis of healing… Sickness is of the mind, and has nothing to do with the body.

（治愈的基础在于接受这一个事实：疾病是心灵为了达到某个目的而利用身体所作出的决定… 疾病乃出自心灵，与身体毫无瓜葛。） （Manual for teachers-V （2）2：1）

 

Quotation No. 227

Without judgment are all things equally acceptable, for who would judge otherwise? Without judgment are all men brothers, for who is there who stands apart?

（没有批判，才能对万物一视同仁，因为有谁能作出与此相反的判断？停止批判，所有的人便都成了弟兄，因为谁还能置身于外？） （Manual for teachers-IV （3）1：8）

Quotation No. 226

Dwell not upon the past today. Keep a completely open mind, washed of all past ideas and clean of every concept you have made. You have forgiven the world today. You can look upon it now as if you never saw it before.

（今天不要再留恋过去了。让心灵彻底开放，涤尽所有过去的观念，清洗你妄造出来的每一个观念。今天你已宽恕了世界。此刻你再度注视着它，就会好像素昧平生似的。）  （Workbook-75 6：1）

Quotation No. 225

The centrality of open-mindness is easily understood when its relation to forgiveness is recognized. Open-mindness comes with lack of judgment. As judgment shuts the mind against God’s Teacher, so open-mindness invites Him to come in.

(只要认清开放的心与宽恕的关系，就不难了解开放的心的关键性。 开放是伴随不批判的心而来的。批判封闭了心灵，排斥了那位无上导师，而开放的心则向圣灵敞开欢迎之门。）  （Manual for teachers-IV （10）1：1）
