Chapter 4 Are You Making Wine

第4章你在釀酒嗎（這里的酒，象征著地球和精神的結(jié)合）

?

The Bible’s purpose is to lift the individual up to a higher level of being. This begins in the state of Moses and the discovery of I AM.

?

Then, in the Book of Isaiah, we are told to “Turn back your foot from the sabbath and take delight in the Lord.”

Let us examine this thought to find its deeper meaning.

Now, in order to keep the sabbath, you must cease from having any mental doubt, as the mental foot you stand upon is your belief.

When your mental foot touches the earth, its action is automatic and mechanical.

?

Using your powerful consciousness, begin now to break the mechanical hold it has on your life by turning your thoughts to your fulfilled desire and observe the sabbath.

?

The twins spoken of in scripture symbolize your duality: Abel, the inner you, and Cain, the outer you.

A reversal of order must now occur, for in the New Testament your true identity is revealed as Christ (the inner you) your hope of glory.

?

As you walk the earth, see people as they want to be seen, and you are pouring oil on their wounds.

But if you do not, you are as the scribes and the Pharisees described in the 23rd Chapter of Matthew,

doing their deeds to be seen by men; they preach but do not practice.

圣經(jīng)的目的是把個(gè)人提升到一個(gè)更高的層次。這始于摩西的狀態(tài)和“我是”的發(fā)現(xiàn)。

?

然后，在《以賽亞書》中，我們被告知“把你的腳從安息日轉(zhuǎn)回來(lái)，并以主為樂(lè)?！?/p>

讓我們檢視這個(gè)想法，找出它更深層的意義。

現(xiàn)在，為了守安息日，你必須停止任何精神上的懷疑，因?yàn)槟阏驹诰裆系哪_就是你的信仰。

當(dāng)你的精神之腳觸地時(shí)，它的動(dòng)作是自動(dòng)的、機(jī)械的。

?

使用你強(qiáng)大的意識(shí)，現(xiàn)在就開始打破它對(duì)你生活的機(jī)械束縛，把你的思想轉(zhuǎn)向你已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望上面，并遵守安息日。

?

圣經(jīng)中提到的雙胞胎象征著你的二元性:亞伯，內(nèi)在的你，該隱，外在的你。

秩序的逆轉(zhuǎn)現(xiàn)在必須發(fā)生，因?yàn)樵谛录s中，你的真實(shí)身份被揭示為基督(內(nèi)在的你)是你所榮耀的希望。

?

當(dāng)你在地球上行走時(shí)，按照人們希望被看到的樣子去看他們，你是在他們的傷口上澆油。

但如果你不這樣做，你就像馬太福音第23章描述的文士和法利賽人一樣，

做他們的行為給人看；他們只是在說(shuō)教但從不執(zhí)行。

?

In the 3rd Chapter of the Book of John, the story is told of Nicodemus, an intellectual man who believed that if he kept the law of Moses he could enter the kingdom of heaven, yet he was told, “You must be born again, born of water and spirit.” Here we see the difference between the intellect and wisdom. Keeping the law of Moses is not enough. You must experience a change in the level of your being, thereby giving you wisdom in order for you to know rebirth.

?

Your inner talking is the breeding ground of your future, be it lovely or unlovely. This is told us so vividly in the Book of Deuteronomy: “I set before you this day blessings and cursings.” Every time you tell someone off, even though it is done in your mind, you curse him. And every time you do unto others what you would like done unto you, they are blessed in the doing.

?

Water is the symbol of psychological truth. To know the truth is not enough. It must be acted upon, at which time the psychological water turns into wine.

?

Start now to observe all of your unpleasant, negative thoughts and change them, for until you separate yourself from the state from which these thoughts flow, they will continue to cause you to have the same experiences in life.

在《約翰福音》的第三章，故事講述了尼哥底母（一個(gè)法利賽人和猶太大祭司），一個(gè)聰明的人，他相信如果他遵守摩西的律法，他可以進(jìn)入天國(guó)，但他被告知，“你必須重生，從水（洗禮）和精神中重生（又稱之為靈生，得救時(shí)所賜的圣靈恩賜）?！?/p>

?

這里我們看到了智力和智慧之間的區(qū)別。如果僅僅靠遵守摩西律法是不夠的。

你必須經(jīng)歷你存在意識(shí)的改變，從而給你智慧，讓你知道重生。

?

你內(nèi)心的對(duì)話是你未來(lái)的溫床，不管它美好的還是丑陋的。

?

《申命記》生動(dòng)地告訴我們:"我今日將祝福和詛咒擺在你們面前。"

每次你責(zé)罵某人，即使是在你的腦海中完成，你也會(huì)詛咒他。

每次你對(duì)別人做你想對(duì)你做的事，他們都會(huì)在做事中得到祝福。

?

水是心理真理的象征。知道真相是不夠的。必須付諸行動(dòng)，此時(shí)心理之水變成了酒。

?

現(xiàn)在開始觀察你所有不愉快的、消極的想法，并改變它們，因?yàn)橹钡侥惆炎约旱囊庾R(shí)從這些想法流動(dòng)的狀態(tài)中分離出來(lái)，它們將繼續(xù)導(dǎo)致你在生活中有同樣的經(jīng)歷。
