Paul: Although I do not feel mentally unclear or cloudy or vague, this peace does feel dopey. I mean that in the sense of my being tranquilized, and it feels as though I am not alert.
保羅：雖然我不覺得心理有什麼不清明或渾噩處，但這平安確實讓我覺得自己變鈍了。我的意思是，我覺得自己好像被打了一針鎮定劑，變得不太機靈了。
Raj: Your ego, identified with and as body, equates alertness with physical movement, physical accomplishing. But, I will tell you, Paul: In your almost total immobilization, the visibility and tangibility of you is a bundle of infinite activity—zillions of atoms, you might say—of energy pattern being fully energized, and there is nothing sluggish about it whatsoever.
瑞吉：你的小我與身體認同，總愛把機靈與身體的運作、具體的成就劃上等號。但我要告訴你，保羅，在你幾乎完全不動的情況下，你有形可見的存在正以最飽合狀態的能量形式（套用你們的話則是億兆的原子）運作著，沒有任何一個部分是停滯不動的。
Put humanly speaking, the power of the energy of the movement of those patterns of energy is greater than any atomic bomb that has ever been detonated. And so it is ridiculous to believe the ego's representation that you are dopey and inactive and absent of energy. Energy is all there is. Energy is all that is going on. But, you see, It is not accomplishing anything. It is just being. Being perfectly. Being the expression of the Intent of the Father. You must not any longer define activity as physical movement, or as movements of physical accomplishment.
以人類的說法，那些能量模式的運作所産生的威力，比世上爆發過的任何原子彈還來得大。因此，去聽信小我「你變鈍了、沒有生氣、缺乏能量」的那套說辭簡直荒謬至極。能量都在那兒，一直都在運作著。但，你看到了沒，它並沒有完成任何事情，只是完美地存在著，並展現出天父的意願。你不可再把「活力」解讀為身體的活動或任何具體成就了。
The mattress you are sitting on, the nightstand beside you, the headboard behind you, they aren't going anywhere, are they, Paul? Yet, they are constituted of absolute movement, and nothing else. By what measuring stick does your ego decide that something which is not ultimately appropriate is occurring at this moment? Has it checked in with me? Has it checked in with the Father? Has it checked in with the Holy Spirit? Absolutely not. It is, itself, the denial of us all. By definition, it hasn't. And therefore, by definition, its sense of things is absolutely flawed.
你所坐的牀墊、你身旁的夜燈、你背後的牀板，它們哪兒也沒去，不是嗎，保羅？然而，它們確確實實在運作著。你的小我是拿著什麼樣的量尺在判定此刻那些不是最適當的事？它可探問過我了？它探問過天父了嗎？還是探問過聖靈了？根本沒有。它的存在本身就是否認我們全體。依它的存在本質，它不會探問的，因此，依它的本質，它對所有事物的知覺都有問題。
Paul: So, I am checking with you. What I am doing at this very moment, or what my body is not doing at this movement, all of this is absolutely appropriate?
保羅：所以我才會來探問你啊。我此時此刻到底在「做」什麼？或者我該問，我的身體此刻「沒」在做什麼？我真的沒有走偏嗎？
Raj: Indeed, Paul. Remember, the movement of Awareness is occurring on or through the Homing beacon, and the real movement is a movement of arousal, of regaining Consciousness. And so, the focus, the issue, is not what your body is or isn't doing. That is a sense of body, and not the experience of Body, Itself, which you will have the experience of, truly, as you "come around," Here, where we are—as you regain Consciousness.
瑞吉：沒錯，保羅。請記住，覺知的運作正透過家鄉燈塔之光進行著，而唯一真實的行動就是覺醒、恢復絶對意識。因此，重點不在你的身體做了或沒做什麼。那不過是身體的覺受，不是本體的體驗。在你「甦醒」於我們同在的「此地」、恢復絶對意識後，自然會有那種體驗的。
Paul: And so, you are saying instead of taking an overview of my body and the fact that it isn't accomplishing anything—that that is an irrelevancy—my attention should be on the peace, the connection with you, the communion, and abiding there because, although I am not experiencing a sense of movement, you have indicated that movement along the Homing beacon is occurring. Is that correct?
保羅：你是否在說，這一切無關乎我的身體概況，或我一事無成的感覺，那些都是不相干的事，我的注意力該放在平安上、與你的連結上，以及共融之境上，並安住其境。你的意思是我仍在家鄉燈塔的指引下往前邁進，僅管我沒感到任何進展。我說對了嗎？
Raj: That is absolutely correct, Paul, yes.
Paul: And I suppose there is no way to hurry it up?
Raj: Certainly not so that you can get onto the "accomplishing of things." And, indeed, the only way to "hurry it up" is to not engage in distractions, which would slow you down.
瑞吉：完全正確，保羅，就是這樣。
保羅：那麼，我猜，我也沒有辦法加速前進，是吧？
瑞吉：當然沒有，否則你就掉入「想要有所成就」的陷阱內。唯一「加速前進」的方法只有：別耗費心力於路邊的幻相上，那會減慢你的速度的。
