Quotation No. 313

Only salvation can be said to cure. "Cure" is a word that cannot be applied to any remedy the word accepts as beneficial. What the world perceives as therapeutic is but what will make the body "better". When it tries to heal the mind, it sees no separation from the body, where it thinks the mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must substitute illusion for illusion. One belief in sickness takes another form, and so the patient now perceives himself as well. He is not healed.

（只有救恩堪称为治疗。“治疗”这个字，不该应用在世上视为有益的任何药方上。世界认为有疗效的，不外是把身体弄得“好一点”。当它有意治疗心灵时，会把心灵与身体视为一物，因它认为心灵存于身体内。因此，它的治愈方式，必然是用一个幻觉来取代另一个幻觉而已。某种疾病理念换了一种形式后，病人遂认为自己已经好了。他并没有痊愈。） (Workbok-140 1:1)

Quotation No. 307

Sickness is a decision. It is not a thing that happens to you, quite unsought, which makes you weak and brings you suffering. It is a choice you make, a plan you lay, when for an instant truth arises in your own deluded mind, and all your world appears to totter and prepare to fall. Now are you sick, that truth may go away and threaten your establishments no more.

（疾病是一种决定。 它不是你碰巧遇上的事，也不是不请自来，把你搞得衰弱不堪、吃尽苦头的东西。它是当真理乍现于你错乱的心田，你的整个世界顿时显得摇摇欲坠时，你所作出的一个选择和策划。现在，你病倒了。真理也许会知趣地离开，不再威胁你妄造出来的世界了。） (Workbook-136 7:1)

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. 190

When you are weary, remember you have hurt yourself. Your Comforter will rest you, but you cannot. You do not know how, for if you did you could never have grown weary.

（当你感到力不从心时，就应记得你已经伤害了自己。唯有你的神圣护慰能带给你安息，你自己是无能为力的。你不知道该如何去作才对，因为你若知道的话，就不致力不从心了。）  (Text-11 III.1:1)

Quotation No. 182

When a brother is sick it is because he is not asking for peace, and therefore does not know he has it. The acceptance of peace is the denial of illusion, and sickness is an illusion.

（当一位弟兄患了病，那是他没有要求平安，故不知道自己拥有平安。接受平安就等于否定幻觉，而疾病乃是幻觉。）  (Text-10 III.7:1)

Quotation No. 151

All forms of sickness, even unto death, are physical expressions of the fear of awakening. They are attempts to reinforce sleeping out of fear of waking.

（各种疾病，甚至死亡，都是害怕觉醒的有形表达。由于害怕觉醒，小我故意加深睡眠的状态。）  (Text-8 IX.3:2)

Quotation No. 75

Guilt is a sure sign that your thinking is unnatural. Unnatural thinking will always be attended with guilt, because it is the belief in sin.

（罪恶感明确显示出你的想法已违反了天性。违反天性的想法必会与罪恶感纠缠不清，因它相信罪恶。）  (Text-5 V.4:8)

Quotation No. 8

Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you made sickness and death yourself, and can therefore abolish both.

(奇迹帮你救治病患， 使死者复生，因为疾病和死亡既然出自你手，你也必能将它们一笔勾消。）   (Text-1 I.24:1)
