Frank ｜分享「我是臨在」的教導，來自揚升大師的教導

大家好久不見，這幾個月Frank全然的投入我是臨在的學習與讀書會的材料翻譯，很感謝我臣服於自己的內在神性，現在有了更深的領悟與應用。

如果你渴望在這一世達成像揚升大師的意識境界並揚升，首先要修煉的是掌控你的注意力，你的注意力會引導你將自身能量投射至該處，並賦予其力量。

聖哲曼在第六卷中提到如下：

這正是我在這些心與心的談話中，特別提醒你們注意某些事情的原因。因為當你的注意力集中在某件事物上時，這件事才能被完整實現；但若你的注意力不在上面，你又怎麼能認識它呢？難道你們不明白嗎？在外在世界裡，唯有當你的注意力投注其上，你才能真正認識一件事物。你甚至無法察覺它的存在；因為若注意力不在那裡，即便你內心渴望的事物正試圖透過感受傳達給你，你的理智仍會岔開這份感受說：「噢，那是別的東西。」

讓我們來看聖哲曼在第三卷中，針對注意力的說明，首先感知能力是隨著你能夠覺察到更精微的世界，不管是在人際關係中、外在世界的暗示等等，聖哲曼說到那些我們曾經認為真實的事情，只是某種表象的現象罷了，若我們持續將自己的注意力放在那些事情上，你便邀請了那股力量進入你的世界當中，原文如下：

Students ofttimes wonder why they have so many conditions in their experience to handle as they become more and more sensitive. It is because they see an appearance which they have been taught to know is not real, and by allowing their attention to become fixed upon it, they not only invite, but force it into their own worlds, and then have a battle in order to clean house. This can be avoided by instantly taking the attention off the appearance and knowing:

學生們經常納悶，為何隨著感知能力日益敏銳，生活中需要處理的狀況卻越來越多。這是因為他們看見了某種表象，而他們所受的教育告訴他們這種表象並非真實；當注意力固著於其上時，不僅會招引這些虛幻現象，更會強行將其納入自身世界，最終不得不展開一場清理內在的戰役。其實只需立即將注意力從表象移開，並堅守內在認知，便能避免這樣的困境，請唸這句諭令，便能避免這般掙扎。

“ ‘I AM,’ ‘I AM,’ I KNOW ‘I AM’ free from this thing forever—no matter what it is.

『我是』、『我是』，我深知『我是』永遠超脫此物——無論其為何物

既然我們知道注意力放在表象在造成的後果，你就會明白生活中混亂的根源，都是對於注意力缺乏足夠的掌控，就像是我們不停的滑手機，看著那些資訊進入到我們世界中，請記住從現在開始有意識的控制自己，這是需要不斷在生活中持續修正，注意力放在自己想顯化的事物上，聖哲曼的原話如下：

This all comes, of course, from a lack of Self-control in the individual, or an unwillingness to use that Self-control to govern the outer. There are these two distinct conditions with students: one is willing enough to make the effort, but unknowingly allows his attention to become fixed on the undesirable things. The other one, through a quality of stubbornness, is unwilling to make the necessary effort to conquer it.

這一切根源，自然來自個體缺乏自我掌控力，或不願運用這份內在力量來統御外在。學子們通常呈現兩種截然不同的狀態：其一雖懷抱足夠意願努力，卻不自覺地將注意力鎖定於不理想的事物；其二則因某種頑固特質，拒絕付出必要心力加以克服。

這就是為何我們鍛鍊自己的心性，首先服從生命法則，了解法則運作的道理，然後堅定地把注意力放在自身的神性源頭，我是臨在，一開始我們很容易被外在世界的資訊吸引，即便如此請仍舊把自己注意力拉回來，這是現代人必續克服的習性之一，聖哲曼在這邊提到自身舊性破除的重要性。

The student should watch in every way for habits and break them up. He should not have to be told, but must look within himself and uproot whatever is not Perfect. This brings a freedom not possible in any other way.
學子應當全面檢視自身習性並予以破除。不該等待他人提醒，而要自省並拔除所有不完美之處。如此方能獲得無可替代的真正自由。

The holding on of old habits is just like wearing old, worn-out garments. The student must not wait for someone else to think these things out for him. He must do it himself. It is not possible for anyone to do it but himself.
緊抓舊習猶如穿著破舊衣衫。學子切莫等待他人代為思考，必須親力親為。此事除己之外，無人能代勞。

In this Work and under this Radiation, everything that is latent in the individual is being brought forth to be consumed. Watch—that the attention does not become fixed on the thing you do not want.
在這項工作與這股輻射能量之下，個體內在潛藏的一切都將被引導顯現並被消融。注意——別讓你的注意力固著在那些你不想要的事物上。

這邊聖哲曼提到一個很重要的觀念，因為你認同某件事情，所以你的注意力才會放在這上面，例如一件讓你很不開心的事情，你認同你在這事情上受到的不公平與傷害，你的注意力駐足在這件事情之上，這件事情便進入你的世界，你的心智會接納注意力停留的事物上，不管那件事情是什麼。

The whole work of a teacher is to get some means and explanation over to the student of the activity of acceptance. What the mind accepts is that which the individual agrees with through his attention, by letting the two become one. When the mind accepts and agrees with a thing or condition, the individual decrees it into his world. Whatever you let the attention rest upon, you are agreeing with and accepting, because through the attention you have let the mind become one with it.
教師的全部工作，就是要讓學生理解「接納」的運作方式與解釋。心智所接納的，就是個體透過注意力認同的事物，讓兩者合而為一。當心智接受並認同某件事物或狀態時，個體便將其宣告進入自己的世界。凡是你讓注意力駐足之處，就是你正在認同與接納的，因為透過注意力，你已讓心智與之合為一體。

因此不要去注意你自身的困境，因為那只會賦予那件事情力量進入你的世界中，如同聖哲曼的原話：

If an individual were to see a rattlesnake coiled, would he walk right up to be struck? Certainly not! Yet this is what students are doing when they let their attention turn back to their troubles. Such habits are only past momentum given a specific quality.
若有人看見一條響尾蛇盤踞著，他會直接走過去被咬嗎？當然不會！然而當學生們讓注意力回到自身困境時，他們正是如此行事。這些習慣不過是被賦予特定性質的過往慣性。

我們身為自身世界的創造者，為什麼要對自己玩這個注意力遊戲呢？
因為透過這場遊戲，我們自我覺知，領悟到我們自身真實的身份，神聖的本源。

All outer form and its attendant expression is but the experience Life by which each individual may learn—through his own experiences—the True Source of his Being, and come again into the Fullness of Perfection, through the Self-conscious knowing thus attained.
所有外在形式及其伴隨的表達，不過是生命經驗的過程，讓每個個體能透過自身體驗——領悟其存在的真實本源，並藉由如此獲得的自我覺知，再度回歸圓滿至善之境。

The outer experience of Life is but a constant, changing, passing picture that the outer mind has created in its pretense (imagination) of being the Real Actor. Thus is the attention so constantly fixed upon the outer, which alone contains imperfection, that the Children of God have forgotten their own Divinity and must come back to It again.
生命的表相經驗不過是外在心智假裝（想像）自己是真正演員時所創造的變幻無常畫面。正因如此，人們的注意力總是執著於外在表象——這唯一存在不完美的領域——以致神之子遺忘了自身神性，必須重新覺醒。
