Chapter 1:The Greater Power within You

The Greater Power Within You – The Greater Intelligence within Each Person
在你内心深处的更伟大力量——每个人内在的更伟大智能

As revealed to God’s Messenger Marshall Vian Summers on September 12, 2008 in Boulder, CO
2008年9月12日，在科罗拉多州博尔德(Boulder, CO)，向上帝的信使马歇尔・维安・萨默斯(Marshall Vian Summers)揭示

People everywhere are carrying a greater power within themselves, a power that they have not yet discovered. It is a deeper Intelligence that the Creator of all life has given to each person.

世界各地的人们都在自己体内携带着一种更伟大的力量，一种他们尚未发现的力量。它是所有生命的创造者赋予每个人的更深层面的智能。

This deeper Intelligence does not function like your intellect. It is not conditioned by the world. It is not subject to doubt and fear, confusion, resentment or anger. It is quiet. It is clear. It is powerful. It cannot be persuaded by any force or power, for it only answers to God.

这种更深层面的智能并不像你的智力这样运作。它不被世界所制约。它不会受到怀疑和恐惧、困惑、怨恨或愤怒的影响。它是安静的。它是清晰的。它是强大的。它不能被任何力量或权力所说服，因为它只听命于上帝。

This greater Intelligence is called Knowledge, and it lives within you, beneath the surface of your mind. Every day Knowledge is giving you counsel—to protect you, to guide you, to lead you. But if you are living at the surface of your mind, caught up in the turbulence of the surface, like the turbulence at the surface of the ocean, you will not hear these messages. You will not feel this greater presence within yourself. You will not recognize Knowledge’s warnings and direction.

这个更伟大的智能被称为内识，它住在你的内心深处，在你心灵的表面之下。每一天，内识都在给你建议——保护你，指导你，引领你。但是，如果你生活在心灵的表面，被表面的动荡所困，就像海洋表面的动荡一样，你就不会听到这些讯息。你不会感觉到自己内心的这种更伟大的存在。你不会识别到内识的警告和方向。

People try to keep themselves constantly stimulated—radio and television, books and endless conversation, keeping themselves at the surface of their mind, where they cannot feel the presence of Knowledge or the power of Knowledge, where they cannot hear or respond to the guidance that Knowledge is providing for them.

人们试图让自己不断受到刺激——收音机、电视、书籍以及无休止的谈话，让自己保持在心灵的表面，在这里他们无法感受到内识的存在或内识的力量，他们无法听到或回应内识为他们提供的指导。

Perhaps once in a while they will feel a deeper inclination. They will recognize a sign or have a profound feeling about something, but these experiences are often intermittent and are often misinterpreted. Even people who feel that they are intuitive by nature often misinterpret the signs that they are receiving, trying to have everything fit in with what they want, to fulfill their desires and their goals, or to support a philosophy they have about life. So while many people do respond to the power and the presence of Knowledge, often they misinterpret its signs, thinking it is something else.

也许偶尔他们会感受到一种更深层面的倾向。他们会识别到一个迹象或对某件事有深刻的感受，但这些经历往往是断断续续的，而且常常被曲解。即使是那些觉得自己天生有直觉的人，也经常曲解他们所收到的迹象，试图让一切都符合他们的要求，满足他们的欲望和目标，或者支持他们的一种生命哲学。因此，尽管许多人确实对内识的力量和存在做出了反应，但他们往往曲解了内识的迹象，认为它是别的东西。

Some people think that every sign from within themselves must be about love, when in fact Knowledge is warning you about things. It is alerting you to the presence of danger. It is trying to restrain you from making critical mistakes, or from giving your life away to people or things that have no real value or future.

有些人认为来自他们内心的每一个迹象都必须是关于爱的，而事实上，内识是在警告你一些事情。它在提醒你注意危险的存在。它试图阻止你犯关键性的错误，或把你的生命交给没有真正价值或真正未来的人或事。

This is love also—the guidance of love, the restraint of love, the warnings from love. Yet if you think love is all about happiness and peace and pleasantness, then you do not understand the real power and potency of love. The love that a parent has for their child, the concern a parent will have for their child and the parents’ attempt to protect their child from harm, danger or damaging influences represent the kind of love that lives within you.

这也是爱——爱的指引，爱的约束，爱的警告。然而，如果你认为爱是关于幸福、和平和快乐的，那你就不会理解爱的真正力量和效力。父母对孩子的爱，父母会对孩子的关心，以及父母试图保护孩子免受伤害、危险或破坏性的影响，代表了生活在你内心的这种爱。

How can you experience this Knowledge, which holds for you your greater purpose for coming into the world and can teach you to navigate the difficult times ahead under any kind of circumstances? How can you experience this for yourself?

你如何经历这个内识，它为你持有你来到这个世界的更伟大目的，并能教你在任何一种情况下驾驭未来的困难时期？你怎样才能自己经历到这一点呢？

You must learn to become still. You must learn to listen deep within yourself, not just for moments here or there, but on a more regular basis, as part of your spiritual practice. When you come to pray, do not simply ask for things, but learn to listen. God has already placed the answer within you, but it is deep within you, and you must go beneath the surface of your mind to experience it.

你必须学会变得静止。你必须学会聆听自己内心深处的声音，不只是在这里或那里的时刻，而是更频繁地聆听，作为你精神上练习的一部分。当你来祷告时，不要简单地要求什么，而是要学会聆听。上帝已经把答案放在你的内心深处，但它在你的内心深处，你必须来到你心灵的表面之下去经历它。

Like the ocean, the surface is turbulent and erratic, always changing, but deep down inside, deep within the ocean, there are strong currents that are moving the waters of the world. Your mind is like this. At the surface, it is swept up by the dangers and concerns of your outer life. It is persuaded and influenced and impacted by the world around you—by the opinions of other people, by the requirements of your life, by your desires and by your fears. But deep down there is a deeper current of life that is not subject to these outer influences. It is strong. It is permanent. It has a true direction. It is moving your life.

就像大海一样，表面上波涛汹涌，变化无常，但在内心深处，在大海的深处，有强大的水流在推动世界的水域。你的心灵就像这样。在表面上，它被你外部生活的危险和关切所淹没。它被你周围的世界所说服、影响和冲击——其他人的意见、你生活的要求、你的欲望和你的恐惧。但在内心深处，有一股更深层的生命水流，不受这些外部的影响。它是强大的。它是持久的。它有一个真实的方向。它正在推动你的生命。

As you learn to take the Steps to Knowledge, you will learn to feel the presence of this greater Intelligence. And over time, you will learn to correctly discern its signs and its messages, and to accept its presence and its power in your life.

当你学习通往内识的阶梯时，你将学习感受这个更伟大智能的存在。随着时间的推移，你将学会正确辨别它的迹象和它的讯息，并接受它在你生命中的存在和力量。

This is how God will speak to you. This is how God will influence you to protect you and to guide you towards leading and experiencing a greater life in the world—a life in service to the world, a life that is connected to the real world around you. This is the greatest discovery in life, and it is awaiting you.

这就是上帝对你说话的方式。这就是上帝如何影响你，保护你，引领你在这个世界上经历一个更伟大的生命——一个为世界服务的生命，一种与周围真实世界相连的生命。这是生活中最伟大的发现，它正等待着你。

Already, you have experienced the power and the presence of Knowledge at moments in your life when you felt an overwhelming desire to take a certain kind of action, or a concern about an event before it happened, or a concern about a loved one, only to find that that concern was well justified.

你已经在生活中的某些时刻体验到了内识的力量和存在，在这些时刻，你感到有一种压抑不住的欲望想要采取某种行动，或者在某件事情发生之前对它感到担忧，或者对所爱的人感到担心，但最后却发现这种担心是完全有道理的。

There is a power within you that is wise. It is moving you forward in some ways and holding you back in others. It represents your deeper conscience, the conscience that God has placed within you. You may ask God for miracles. You may ask God to intervene in your life. But God has put the answer in you already: the power and the presence of Knowledge, the deeper eternal Mind within you. It alone knows who you are and why you are here, who you must meet in this life and what you are here ultimately to contribute in service to humanity and to the world.

在你内心有一种力量是明智的。它在某些方面推动着你前进，在另一些方面阻碍着你。它代表着你更深层面的良知，是上帝放置在你内心的良知。你可以向上帝祈求奇迹。你可能要求上帝干预你的生命。但上帝已经把答案放在你的内心：内识的力量和存在，你内心更深层面的永恒心智。只有它知道你是谁，你为什么在这里，你在这个生命中必须遇见谁，你在这里最终要为人类和世界做出什么样的贡献。

You carry the great endowment within yourself. It is waiting to be discovered. It is waiting for you to take the Steps to Knowledge, and to build the wisdom that you will need to have to carry this Knowledge out into the world, to protect this Knowledge and to discern its guidance and to experience its gifts.

你的内心蕴藏着伟大的禀赋。它正等待着你去发现。它正等待着你迈出通往内识的步伐，建立起你所需要的智慧，将内识带入这个世界，保护内识，辨别内识的指引，体验内识的礼物。

This is the blessing that the Creator of all life has given to you and to each person. And the extent to which Knowledge can be experienced and expressed in this world, the world will be blessed, great disasters will be prevented, and humanity will continue to move in a positive direction.

这是所有生命的创造者给你和每个人的祝福。而内识在这个世界上能够被经历和表达的程度，是世界将得到的祝福，巨大的灾难将被防止，人类将继续向积极的方向发展。

This is the antidote to evil. This is the blessing for the world, a blessing that lives within you.

这是对邪恶的解药。这是对世界的祝福，是生活在你内心的祝福。
