The only interval in which I can be saved from time is now. For in this interval has forgiveness come to set me free.

Quotation No. 403

The past is gone; the future but imagined. These concerns are but defenses against present change.
(过去的已经过去了,而未来只在想象之中。这些挂虑只是你不想改变目前的一种防卫措施罢了。) (Workbook-181 5:2)

Quotation No. 370

The only value that the past can hold is that you learn it gave you no rewards which you would want to keep. For only thus will you be willing to relinguish it, and have it gone forever.

Quotation No. 365

The chains of time are easily unloosened. Let no one hour cast its shadow on the one that follows, and when that one goes, let everything that happened in its course go with it. Thus will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the world of time.
(时间的锁链是可以轻易地松绑的。不要让前一个小时所发生的事情在下一个小时内留下阴影。当一个小时过去后,那一个小时所发生的事情也随之而去。如此,你才能无牵无绊地在时间的领域中活出永恒的平安。)  (Workbook-193 12:3)

Quotation No. 361

Heaven is here. There is nowhere else. Heaven is now. There is no other time.
(天堂就在这儿,此外并无他处;天堂就在当下此刻,此外并无任何其他的时间。) (Manual of teachers-24 6:4)

Quotation No. 360

The emphasis of this course always remains the same;——it is at this moment that complete salvation is offered you, and it is at this moment that you can accept it. This is still your one responsibility. Atonement might be equated with total escape from the past and total lack of interest in the future.
(本课程的重点始终未变:圆满的救恩已在此刻为你赐下,你也能够在此刻予以接纳。这仍然是你的一个责任。救赎可以等视为:彻底解脱过去;彻底漠视未来。) (Manual of teachers-24 6:1)

Quotation No. 322

Take this very instant, now, and think of it as all there is of time. Nothing can reach you here out of the past, and it is here that you are completely absolved, completely free and wholly without condemnation.
(把握当下这一刻,视所有的时间尽在此刻之中。过去的一切无法左右你,就在此刻,你获得了彻底的赦免,完全自由,不受任何诅咒。) (Text-15 I.9:5)

Quotation No. 319

The time is set already. It appears to be quite arbitrary. Yet there is no step along the road that anyone takes but by chance. It has already been taken by him, although he has not yet embarked on it. For time but seems to go in one direction. We but undertake a journey that is over. Yet it seems to have a future still unknown to us.
(时间已经注定了。这话听起来十分唐突。然而,每个人路上所踏出的每一步,没有一步是偶然的。纵然他还未上路,其实他早已走过那条路了,因为时间表面上好似朝着一个方向进行。我们所迈向的其实只是一条早已结束的旅程,只是表面上还有一个不可知的未来似的。) (Workbook-158 3:1)

Quotation No. 318

Time is a trick, a sleight of hand, a vast illusion in which figures come and go as if by magic. Yet there is a plan behind appearances that does not change. The script is written. When experience will come to end your doubting has been set. For we but see the journey fom the point at which it ended, looking back on it, imaging we make it once again; reviewing mentally what has gone by.
(时间是一种把戏,是一种巧妙的手法,也是极其浩瀚的幻觉,里面的人物来来去去,好象魔术表演一样。然而,在表象之下有个永不变易的计划。剧本已经写好了。那经验何时前来结束你的疑虑,早已注定了。我们只是在旅途的终点回首整个旅程,假想自己再走一趟,在脑海里重温一下种种经历而已。)    (Workbook-158 4:1)
