Chapter 4 Are You Making Wine

第4章你在酿酒吗（这里的酒，象征着地球和精神的结合）

 

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.

圣经的目的是把个人提升到一个更高的层次。这始于摩西的状态和“我是”的发现。

 

然后，在《以赛亚书》中，我们被告知“把你的脚从安息日转回来，并以主为乐。”

让我们检视这个想法，找出它更深层的意义。

现在，为了守安息日，你必须停止任何精神上的怀疑，因为你站在精神上的脚就是你的信仰。

当你的精神之脚触地时，它的动作是自动的、机械的。

 

使用你强大的意识，现在就开始打破它对你生活的机械束缚，把你的思想转向你已经实现的愿望上面，并遵守安息日。

 

圣经中提到的双胞胎象征着你的二元性:亚伯，内在的你，该隐，外在的你。

秩序的逆转现在必须发生，因为在新约中，你的真实身份被揭示为基督(内在的你)是你所荣耀的希望。

 

当你在地球上行走时，按照人们希望被看到的样子去看他们，你是在他们的伤口上浇油。

但如果你不这样做，你就像马太福音第23章描述的文士和法利赛人一样，

做他们的行为给人看；他们只是在说教但从不执行。

 

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《约翰福音》的第三章，故事讲述了尼哥底母（一个法利赛人和犹太大祭司），一个聪明的人，他相信如果他遵守摩西的律法，他可以进入天国，但他被告知，“你必须重生，从水（洗礼）和精神中重生（又称之为灵生，得救时所赐的圣灵恩赐）。”

 

这里我们看到了智力和智慧之间的区别。如果仅仅靠遵守摩西律法是不够的。

你必须经历你存在意识的改变，从而给你智慧，让你知道重生。

 

你内心的对话是你未来的温床，不管它美好的还是丑陋的。

 

《申命记》生动地告诉我们:"我今日将祝福和诅咒摆在你们面前。"

每次你责骂某人，即使是在你的脑海中完成，你也会诅咒他。

每次你对别人做你想对你做的事，他们都会在做事中得到祝福。

 

水是心理真理的象征。知道真相是不够的。必须付诸行动，此时心理之水变成了酒。

 

现在开始观察你所有不愉快的、消极的想法，并改变它们，因为直到你把自己的意识从这些想法流动的状态中分离出来，它们将继续导致你在生活中有同样的经历。
