I AM

文章作者：Jeff Foster

Be mindful aboutwhat you say after you say “I AM…” Those two tiny words contain powerful magic.

Language tries tofix you in time and space. It is an attempt to press pause on the ever-changingdance that you naturally are. In reality, what you truly are can’t be fixed orcaptured or even put into words, for you are alive and dynamic and naturally immuneto all fixed definitions.

For example: “I amsorrow”?”I am a sorrowful person”?”Sorrow defines me””I am a victim ofsorrow”?No.  A wave of sorrow is arisingin the vast ocean that you are, an ocean that cannot be defined by either‘happy’ or ‘sad’ or anything in-between, but allows all those feelings to comeand go.

You are notsorrow-sorrow comes and goes in you. You’ll find no sorrowful person, nosorrowful entity, no sorrowful ‘thing’, no sorrowful ‘me’ here, only the energysorrow arising presently, energy that will dissipate as it is allowed to move.You are not sorrowful-you are the home for sorrow in this moment. You are notangry-you are the capacity for anger right now. You are not enlightened,ignorant, successful, a failure or a waste of space-you are all of this, andnone of it. You are infinite potential, a sentence that never needs to becompleted.

Use your magicwisely. Fall in love with being an ever-deepening mystery to yourself. Don’tattempt to turn yourself into stone.

留意到你在说“我是…“之后，接的是什么话。这两字有着神奇的威力。

语言会让你定格在时间和空间里，它试图暂停你自然能量的变化之舞。真相是，你真实的本性是无法被框定或用文字描述定义的。真正的你是活生生的、动态的、天生不拘与僵化定义的。

比如：“我是悲伤吗？”“我是个悲伤的人吗？”“悲伤就是我吗？”“我是悲伤的受害者吗？”不，一波悲伤正从你广阔如海洋的能量里升起，海洋是无法用’快乐’或’难过’或任何各种感觉来定义的，然而它可以允许各种感觉出现和消退。

你不是悲伤-悲伤出现然后进入你。你其实找不到一个悲伤的人、一个悲伤的实体、一个悲伤的’东西’或一个悲伤的’我’在这里。只有悲伤的能量在此刻出现，如果你让它流动，这个能量迟早会消散。你不是悲伤的-你是此刻悲伤的家。你不是愤怒-你是现在能够愤怒的能力。你不是开悟、无知、成功、失败或是废物-你是这所有的一切，却不是任何其中一个。你是无限的可能，一句永远不需要被完成的句子。

好好地使用你的魔法，爱上自己那永无止境的深刻奥秘。不要把自己变成一颗石头。
