Quotation No. 335

Truth has no meaning in illusion. The frame of reference for its meaning must be itself. When you try to bring truth to illusion, you are trying to make illusions real, and keep them by justifying your belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable   truth to teach that the illusions are unreal, and thus enable you to escape from them. 

（真理在幻觉中毫无意义。真正具有意义的观点，唯有真理本身。你若企图将真理带入幻觉，就是存心将幻觉以假乱真，使幻觉显得确凿有据而得以存在下去。但若你把幻觉交给真理，就等于给真理一个机会，教你认出幻觉的不实之处而予以摆脱。） （Text-17 I.5:2)

Quotation No. 334

The decision whether or not to listen to this course and follow it is but the choice between truth and illusion… This year is thus the time to make the easiest decision that ever confronted you, and also the only one. You will cross the bridge into reality simply because you will recognize that God is on the other side, and nothing at all is here. It is impossible not to make the natural decision as this is  realized.

（是否聆听并跟随这个课程的决定，就不异于要人在真理和幻象之间作一抉择。… 这是你生平所遇到的最简单的，但也是绝无仅有的一个抉择。因此，今年就是作此抉择的大好良机。你会越过这座桥梁而进入实相的，因为你终于会认出上主就在彼岸，而此地只是虚无。你一旦明白了这一点，便不可能不作这最合乎自然的抉择。） (Text-16 V.16:1)

Quotation No. 333

Forgiveness is not loss, but your salvation. In complete forgiveness, in which you recognize that there is nothing to forgive, you are absolved completely.

（宽恕并不是一种损失，而是你的救恩。你有朝一日认清了根本没有宽恕的必要时，那种彻底的宽恕会带给你完全的赦免。） （Text-15 VIII.1:6)

Quotation No. 332

In looking at the special relationship, it is necessary first to realize that it involves a great amount of pain. Anxiety, despair, guilt and attack all enter into it, broken into by periods in which they seem to be gone… Whatever form they take, they are always an attack on the self to make the other guilty… The special love relationship is the ego’s chief weapon for keeping you from heaven.

（正视特殊关系时，必须先有心理准备，要了解这样做会勾起很大的痛苦。焦虑、绝望、罪咎及攻击心都会趁虚而入，但转眼又会杳无踪影… 不论它化身为何种形式，不外是为了使对方心生罪咎而作的自我攻击之举… 爱的特殊关系是小我设法使你与天堂隔绝的一把利器。） （Text-16 V。1：1）

Quotation No. 331

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have buit against it. It is not necessary to seek for what is true, but it is necessary to seek for what is false.

（你的任务不是去寻找爱，而是找出你为了抵制爱而在自身内所建造的一切障碍物。凡是真实之物都不用你去找，但虚幻之物则有寻找出来的必要。)     (Text-16 IV.6:1)

Quotation No. 330

You who believe that sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as peace is the condition for the awareness of your relationship with God. Through guilt you exclude your Father and your brothers from yourself. Through peace you invite them back, realizing that they are where yur invitation bids them be.

（你若相信牺牲就是爱，就必须学会看出，牺牲乃是与爱决裂。因牺牲必会带来罪咎，好比爱必然带来平安。罪咎是牺牲的必备条件，有如平安是意识到你与天父关系的必备条件。罪咎会使你把天父与弟兄一起逐出身外。唯有透过平安，你才能将他们迎回，并且恍然大悟，原来他们一直都留在你邀请他们莅临之地。） (Text-15 XI.4:1) 

Quotation No. 329

The sign of Christmas is a star, a light in darkness. See it not outside yourself, but shining in the Heaven within, and accept it as the sign the time of Christ has come. He comes demanding nothing. No sacrifice of any kind, of anyone, is asked by Him. In His presence the whole idea of sacrifice loses all meaning… You who believe that sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love brings peace.

（星光是圣诞节的象征，象征黑暗中的光明。不要由你身外去看，而应看着它正在你内的天堂照耀着，把它当作基督的时辰已至的标志吧。他来，一无所求。他从不要任何人牺牲。在他的临鉴下，整个牺牲的观念顿时失去了意义… 你若相信牺牲就是爱，就必须学会看出，牺牲乃是与爱决裂。因牺牲必会带来罪咎，好比爱必然带来平安。） （Text-15 XI.2:1)

Quotation No. 328

What is not love is always fear, and nothing else.

（凡不属于爱的，一向都是恐惧，此外无他。） （Text-15 X.4:5)

Quotation No. 327

You have so little faith in yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact that perfect love is in you. And so you seek without for what you cannot find without.

（你对自己的信心真是少得可怜，因为你不愿接受圆满的爱就在你内这一事实。于是，你向外寻求那不可能从外面找到的东西。） (Text-15 VI.2:1)

Quotation No. 326

Judgment becomes impossible without the past, for without it you do not understand anything. You would make no attempt to judge, because it would be quite apparent to you that you do not understand what anything means. You are afraid of this because you believe that without the ego, all would be chaos. Yet I assure you that without the ego, all would be love.

（没有过去，你就无法了解任何事情，于是你就不可能作判断。倘若你心里明白自己根本不了解一切事情的意义，便不会起判断之心。但这最令你担心，因为你相信，没有小我的话，一切就会混乱无序。然而，我可以向你保证，小我若不存在，一切都成了爱。） （Text-15 V.1:4)
