Dream of life（生命之夢）

Alan Watt - Dream of life（生命之夢）

If you awaken from this illusion and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death, or shall I say death implies life, you can feel yourself not as a stranger in the world, Not as something here on probation. not as something that has arrived here by fluke. But you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental.

如果你從這樣的幻像里醒來，并且懂得了黑既是白，自己既是他人，生既是死，或者我可以說，死既是生，你能夠感受到你自己不是這個(gè)世界里的陌生人，不是在這個(gè)世界的試用工，來到這里的不是因?yàn)閮e幸。你能夠開始將你自己的存在看作是絕對(duì)的本質(zhì)性的東西。
I’m not trying to sell you on this idea in the sense of converting you to it. I want you to play with it. I want you to think of its possiblities. I’m not trying to prove it. I’m just putting it forward as a possibility of life to think about.
我不是在這里向你兜售這種思想，或者試圖轉(zhuǎn)化你的思想。我希望你好好的把玩它。我希望去思考它的可能性。我不想去證明它，我只想把它作為生命的一種可能性，讓你好好想想。

So then…

那么…

Let’s suppose that you were able every night, to dream any dream you wanted to dream. And that you could for example have the power within one night to dream seventy five years of time. Or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure. And after several nights of seventy five years of total pleasure each, you would say “Well that was pretty great!” “But now let’s - let’s have a surprise”. “Let’s have a dream which isn’t under control”. “Where something is going to happen to me but I don’t what it’s going to be.”

讓我們假設(shè)你有能力，在每一個(gè)夜晚，去做任何你們想要做的夢。并且你擁有能力，舉例來說， 一晚上做七十五年，或者任何時(shí)長的夢。于是，自然地，你在夢的冒險(xiǎn)里，可以滿足你任何的愿望。你可以擁有各種各樣的快樂。然后，在做了幾個(gè)晚上的這種充滿 各種快樂的夢之后，你會(huì)說，“那真的很棒！”“但現(xiàn)在讓我們——讓我們來個(gè)驚喜?！薄白屛覀冏鲆粋€(gè)不受控的夢?！薄霸趬衾镂覍⒉恢罆?huì)發(fā)生什么?！?/p>

And you would dig that And come out of that you’d say “Wow that was a close shave wasn’t it?” Then you would get more and more adventurous and you would make further and further gambles to what you would dream. Finally you would dream where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today.

然后你就一頭扎夢里，然后醒來，說“哇，那真是驚險(xiǎn)，是嗎？”然后，你會(huì)進(jìn)行越來越多的冒險(xiǎn)，你會(huì)越來越多去玩著“你能夢到什么”的游戲。最終，你將夢到你們現(xiàn)在。你們將夢到你們過著今天實(shí)際的生活的夢。

That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices that you would have. Of playing that you weren’t God. Because the whole nature of the God in you according to this idea, is to play that he’s not. So in this idea then, everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality, not God in a politically kingly sense, but God in the sense of being the self. The deep down basics, whatever there is. And you’re all that. Only your pretending your not.

那是你所有擁有無限的選擇中的一個(gè)。去假裝你不是神。因?yàn)樽鳛樯裨谀阒畠?nèi)這個(gè)理念，就是去假裝你不是。在這個(gè)理念下，每個(gè)人都是基本的最終極的實(shí)相，不是政治意義上的，高高在上的神，而是神作為自己；在最深處，你是什么。你是所有，只是你假裝不是。
