与神对话1-1.1：感受是灵魂的语言（附音频）

文字翻译版本：台湾王季庆版

尼：那一年春天——我记得是在复活节的前后——我的生命出现了一个特殊现象。神开始透过我跟你们说话。

容我解释得清楚一些。

在那段时期，就个人、事业与情绪而言，我是处于很不快乐的状态中，我的人生在所有层面上都象是失败了似的。由于多年来我一向习于将我的思绪写成信（通常是永不寄出的信），所以，这一天，我又拿起了我忠实的黄色便筏纸，开始倾泄出我的感受。

这一次，我想，与其写信给另一个我想象曾欺骗过我的人，不如直接诉诸本源：直接去找最会欺人的那一位。我决定给神写封信。

那是一封含着嗔恨与激愤的信，充满了惶惑、扭曲、责难，以及一大堆愤怒的问题。

我的人生为什么事事不顺？我到底得做什么才能让它顺？为什么我无法在亲密关系中找到快乐？是否我永远也不会有够用的钱？最后——且最重要的——我到底做过些什么事，活该要有如此不断挣扎的一生？

令我惊讶的是，当我潦草地写完我的怨苦及无法回答的问题，准备将笔扔到一边时，我的手却仍然悬在纸上，好像被什么看不见的力量扶着似的。突然，笔开始自己移动起来。我全然不知道将要写些什么，但似乎有了一个想法，所以我决定顺着它，写出来……

神：你是真的想要这所有问题的答案呢，还是只是在发泄？

尼：我眨了眨眼……然后我的大脑出现了一个答案。我将它写下来。

两者皆是。当然，我是在发泄，但如果这些问题有答案，我宁可下地狱（译注：原文“sure as hell”是句粗俗口头语，有点“真是他妈的……”之意，但若照原意译，神下面幽默地提出与之相对的“sure as heaven”，就无法中译了。）也想听听看！

神：你对许多事情都是“宁可下地狱”，为何不是“宁可上天堂”呢？

尼：而我写道：

你那是什么意思？

在我还没弄明白之前，我已经开始了一段的话……而且我也不象在写东西，反倒象在作笔录。

那笔录一作就作了三年，而在当时，我完全不知道它会发展到什么状况。我写在纸上的问题之答案，直到问题被完整地写下来，我将我自己的思绪放掉之前，并还没出现我脑中。然后答案往往来得比我能写的还快，我发现自己只能潦草的写下来以便赶上。之间由于惶恐，且疑惑“这些字句是否是来自另一个来源”，我曾搁下笔走开，直到我再一次地受到感召——抱歉，那是唯一真正恰当的字眼——回到黄色便筏纸上再度开始转录。

当我在写下这篇文字时，这些对话仍在继续。其中大部分将出现在以下的篇章里……包含了原先我不相信，随后又假定是有个人价值的、令人惊愕的对话，而现在我才了解，它不只是冲着我个人而来的，它也是要给你及每位读到这资料的人的。因为我的问题也就是你们的问题。

我希望你能尽快的进入这对话，因为重要的是，这并非只是我的故事，也是你的故事。是你的人生故事将你引领到这儿的。这个资料针对的是你个人的经验。否则，现在你就不会在这儿读它。

那么，现在就让我们用我问了好久的一个问题来进入这对话：神怎样说话，又对谁说？我问到这个问题时，下面是我得到的答复：

神：我跟每个人说话，一向就是如此。问题不是我跟谁说，而是谁在听？

尼：这倒引起了我的好奇心，我马上请神再多谈谈这主题。以下就是他所说的：

神：首先，让我们以沟通(communicate)这个字来取代说话(talk)这个字。沟通是个好得多、充实得多、正确得多的字眼。当我们尝试彼此对话——我对你或你对我时，我们立刻会被字句不可置信的限制所局限了。为了这个理由，所有我不会单单借字眼来沟通。事实上，我也鲜少那样做。我最常用的沟通方式是透过感受(feeling)。

感受是灵魂的语言。

如果你想知道你对某件事的真实想法，只要注意你对它的感受如何。

要体悟到感受有时候很难——要承认更难。然而，你最高的真实便隐藏在你最深的感受里。

诀窍就在你是否能体会到那些感受。如果你还想知道的话，我可以教你如何办到。

尼：我告诉神我真的想知道，但目前，我更希望我的第一个问题能先得到一个完整而充分的答复。

以下即为神所说的：

神：我也以思维(thought)来沟通。思维和感受并不相同。虽然它们可以同时出现。当以思维沟通时，我往往会利用影像和画面。因此，就沟通工具来说，思维比光是文字本身更有效多了。

除了感受和思维之外，我也用经验(experience)这媒介来作为一个伟大的沟通工具。

而最后，如果感受、思维及经验全都失效时，我才用语言(words)。语言真的是顶顶无效的沟通工具。它们最容易招致错误的诠译，最容易被误解。

理由何在呢？那是由于语言本身是什么的问题。语言只是发音(utterance)而已：代表感受、思维和经验的噪音。它们是象征符号、记号、标志。它们并非真相。并不是真实的东西。

语言也许可助你了解某件事，经验却使你更明白。然而有些事是你无法经验的，所以我给了你们其他的认知工具，也就是感受，以及思维。

然而，最大的讽刺是，你们全都将神的话语视为如此重要，反而轻视经验。

事实上，你们如此漠视经验，以至于当你们对神的体验不同于你所听到的有关他的话时，你就自动地舍弃那经验而认同那些字句，尽管应该刚好相反才对。

你对一件东西的经验和感受，代表你对那件东西事实上和直觉上所知的事。语言只能设法表征出你的所知，并且常常能扰乱你所知的事。

因此，这些就是我沟通的工具，然而它们并非就是方法，因为并不是所有的感受、所有的思维、所有的经验及所有的语言都是来自我的。

许多话语曾以我之名被他人说出。许多思维和许多感受，曾由非我所直接创造出来的主意所发起。许多的经验都是由此而起的。

问题就在于辨识力。难就难在如何辨识哪些讯息是由神，哪些又是由其他来源来的。只要运用一个基本法则，分辨就很简单了：

你最高的思维、最清晰的话语、你最崇高的感受是来自我的。而任何较次的都是来自其他的来源。

现在分辨的重任就变得容易起来了，因为，即使对初学者而言，也不该难以认出哪个是最高、最清楚和最崇高的。

不过我愿意再给你们一些指导方针：

最高的思维永远是那包含着喜悦的思维。最清楚的话语永远是那些包含着真理的话语。最崇高的感受，就是你们称为爱的那种感受。

喜悦，真理，爱。

这三者是可以互换的，而其一永远导向另一个，不论它们的先后次序如何。

有了这个指导原则，便很容易决定出哪个讯息是我的，哪个来自其他来源。剩下的唯一问题是，我的讯息有没有受到注意。

我的大部分讯息并没有受到注意。有些是由于它们看起来像是太好了，令人觉得不可能是真的；有些是因为它们看起来好像很难了解；也许是因为它们根本就被误解；而大多数则是因为它们根本没被接收到。

我最强而有力的讯息是经验，但这个你们也忽略了。你们尤其是忽略了这个。

只要你们曾倾听你们的经验，你们的世界便不会再像今天的这种情况。不听你们经验的结果就是，你们要一直重新经验它，一遍又一遍。因为我的目的不会受到阻挠，我的意志也不会被忽视，你们迟早会收到讯息的。

可是，我不会勉强你们。我永远不会强迫你们。因为我给了你们自由意志——依照你自己的选择去做的权力——而我永远也不会拿走它。

因此我会继续一而再、再而三的送给你们同样的讯息，在整个“千福年”(millennia)间，并且到你们所居住宇宙的每一个角落。我会不停地向你们传送我的讯息，直到你们接收到它们，紧紧地抱住它们，称它们为你们自己的为止。

我的讯息会以各种的形式到来，在千般不同的片刻，横跨百万年。如果你真正聆听的话，你就不会错过它们。而一旦你真的听到了，你也就无法忽略它们了。于是我们的沟通才会真诚地开始。因为在过去，你们只是单方面的对我说话、向我祈求、跟我求情。然而如今，我却可以直接答复你们，正如我现在正在做的。

尼：可是我如何能得知这些讯息是来自神？我如何能得知这并不只是我自己的想象？

神：这又有什么差别呢？你不知道我可以通过你的想象力运作，就如通过任何其他方式一样的容易吗？在任何既定的一刻，用一种方法或数种方法，我都能带给你完全适合你当时目的的最精准的正确思维、语言或感受。

你会知道这些话是来自我的，因为你自己从没有讲得这么清楚过。如果你已然能对这些问题讲得如此清楚，你也就不会提出来问了。

尼：神都跟哪些人通讯？有没有什么特别的人？特别的时期？

神：所有的人都是特别的，而所有的片刻也都是珍贵如黄金。并没有哪一个人或哪一个时刻比其他的更特别。然而有许多人却宁可相信神是以特别的方式只对特别的人说话。这豁免了大部分的人要听我的讯息的责任，更不用说收到它了(那又是另一回事)，使得他们可以在每件事上都听从别人的。你认为没有必要聆听我，因为你已经认定别人已听过我所谈的每一个主题，而你只要聆听他们即可。

然而，藉由聆听别人所认为他们听到样子的我所说的话，你根本就不必思考了。

这就是在个人层面上大多数人不理会我的讯息的最大理由。因为如果你承认你是直接地接收到我的讯息，那么你就得负责去诠释它们。接受别人(即使是那些活在两千年以前的人)的诠释，比你自己要诠释你正在收到的讯息要来得安全并容易得多。

然而我邀请你来参加与神的一种新型的沟通。一个双向沟通。事实上，是你邀请了我。因为我现在以这种方式来到，就是来答复你的呼唤的。

尼：就拿基督为例，为什么有一些人，仿佛比别的人更能听到你的讯息？

神：因为有些人愿意真正倾听。他们愿意听，纵使当讯息看起来似乎是可怕，或疯狂，或根本就错误时，他们仍愿对这样的通讯保持开放的心态。

尼：那我们是否该倾听神的话，纵使当他所言的似乎是错的时？

神：对，尤其是当它似乎是错的时。如果你认为在每一事件上你都是对的，那又何需跟神谈话呢？

尽管对所有你知道的事采取行动。但请注意，有史以来你们就一直在那样做。可是看看世界现在成了什么。很清楚的，你们就是错过了什么。很显然有些事你们并不了解。你们真了解的事，就你们而言，必然看起来是对的，因为你们用“对”这个字眼来指明你们所同意的事。所以，你们错过的东西可能在最初会显得是“错”的。

唯一一条让你向前迈进的路是问你自己：“如果每样我认为是‘错’的事，实际上是‘对’的，会变成怎么样？”每位伟大的科学家都明白这一点。当一位科学家所做的实验进行得不顺时，他就会将所有的假设先搁在一边重新开始。所有伟大的发现，都是被甘愿“不对”的愿意和能力造就出来的。而那就是我们这里所需要的东西。

除非你停止告诉自己你已然认识神，否则你就无法认识神。除非你不再认为你已然听见神，否则你就无法听见神。

除非你不再告诉我你的真理，否则我无法告诉你我的真理。

尼：但我对神所知的真理是来自你。

神：谁说的？

尼：别人。

神：什么别人？

尼：领袖们。牧师们。教士们。神父们。书籍。老天，还有圣经！

神：那些并非权威性的来源。

尼：不是吗？

神：不是。

尼：那什么才是？

神：聆听你的感受。倾听你最高的思维。倾听你的经验。一旦有任何与你的老师们告诉你的，或与你在书里读到的话不同时，就忘掉那些话。话语是最不可靠的真理供应商。

In the spring of 1992—it was around Easter as I recall—an extraordinary phenomenon occurred in my life. God began talking with you. Through me.

Let me explain.

I was very unhappy during that period, personally, professionally, and emotionally, and my life was feeling like a failure on all levels. As I’d been in the habit for years of writing my thoughts down in letters (which I usually never delivered), I picked up my trusty yellow legal pad and began pouring out my feelings.

This time, rather than another letter to another person I imagined to be victimizing me, I thought I’d go straight to the source; straight to the greatest victimizer of them all. I decided to write a letter to God.

It was a spiteful, passionate letter, full of confusions, contortions, and condemnations. And a pile of angry questions.

Why wasn’t my life working? What would it take to get it to work? Why could I not find happiness in relationships? Was the experience of adequate money going to elude me forever? Finally—and most emphatically—What had I done to deserve a life of such continuing struggle?

To my surprise, as I scribbled out the last of my bitter, unanswerable questions and prepared to toss my pen aside, my hand remained poised over the paper, as if held there by some invisible force. Abruptly, the pen began moving on its own. I had no idea what I was about to write, but an idea seemed to be coming, so I decided to flow with it. Out came...

Do you really want an answer to all these questions, or are you just venting?

I blinked... and then my mind came up with a reply. I wrote that down, too.

Both. I’m venting, sure, but if these questions have answers, I’d sure as hell like to hear them!

You are “sure as hell”. . .about a lot of things. But wouldn’t it be nice to be “sure as Heaven”?

And I wrote:

What is that supposed to mean?

Before I knew it, I had begun a conversation.. .and I was not writing so much as taking dictation.

That dictation went on for three years, and at the time, I had no idea where it was going. The answers to the questions I was putting on paper never came to me until the question was completely written and I’d put my own thoughts away. Often the answers came faster than I could write, and I found myself scribbling to keep up. When I became confused, or lost the feeling that the words were coming from somewhere else, I put the pen down and walked away from the dialogue until I again felt inspired—sorry, that’s the only word which truly fits— to return to the yellow legal pad and start transcribing again.

These conversations are still going on as I write this. And much of it is found on the pages which follow...pages which contain an astounding dialogue which at first I disbelieved, then assumed to be of personal value, but which I now understand was meant for more than just me. It was meant for you and everyone else who has come to this material. For my questions are your questions.

I want you to get into this dialogue as soon as you can, because what’s really important here is not my story, but yours. It is your life story which brought you here. It is your personal experience to which this material has relevance. Otherwise you would not be here, with it, right now.

So let’s enter the dialogue with a question I had been asking for a very long time: How does God talk, and to whom? When I asked this question, here’s the answer I received:

I talk to everyone. All the time. The question is not to whom do I talk, but who listens?

Intrigued, I asked God to expand on this subject. Here’s what God said:

First, jet’s exchange the word talk with the word communicate. It’s a much better word, a much fuller, more accurate one. When we try to speak to each other—Me to you, you to Me, we are immediately constricted by the unbelievable limitation of words. For this reason, I do not communicate by words alone. In fact, rarely do I do so. My most common form of communication is through feeling.

Feeling is the language of the soul.

If you want to know what’s true for you about something, look to how you’re feeling about it. 

Feelings are sometimes difficult to discover—a nd often even more difficult to acknowledge.Yet hidden in your deepest feelings is your highest truth.

The trick is to get to those feelings. I will show you how. Again. If you wish.

I told God that I did wish, but that right now I wished even more for a complete and full answer to my first question. Here’s what God said:

I also communicate with thought. Thought and feelings are not the same, although they can occur at the same time. In communicating with thought, I often use images and pictures. For this reason, thoughts are more effective than mere words as tools of communication.

In addition to feelings and thoughts, I also use the vehicle of experience as a grand communicator.

And finally, when feelings and thoughts and experience all fail, I use words. Words are really the least effective communicator. They are most open to misinterpretation, most often misunderstood.

And why is that? It is because of what words are. Words are merely utterances: noises that stand for feelings, thoughts, and experience. They are symbols. Signs. Insignias. They are not Truth. They are not the real thing.

Words may help you understand something. Experience allows you to know. Yet there are some things you cannot experience. So I have given you other tools of knowing. And these are called feelings. And so too, thoughts.

Now the supreme irony here is that you have all placed so much importance on the Word of God, and so little on the experience.

In fact, you place so little value on experience that when what you experience of God differs from what you’ve heard of God, you automatically discard the experience and own the words, when it should be just the other way around.

Your experience and your feelings about a thing represent what you factually and intuitively know about that thing. Words can only seek to symbolize what you know, and can often confuse what you know.

These, then, are the tools with which I communicate, yet they are not the methods, for not all feelings, not all thoughts, not all experience, and not all words are from Me.

Many words have been uttered by others, in My name. Many thoughts and many feelings have been sponsored by causes not of My direct creation. Many experiences result from these.

The challenge is one of discernment. The difficulty is knowing the difference between messages from God and data from other sources. Discrimination is a simple matter with the application of a basic rule:

Mine is always your Highest Thought, your Clearest Word, your Grandest Feeling. Anything less is from another source.

Now the task of differentiation becomes easy, for it should not be difficult even for the beginning student to identify the Highest, the Clearest, and the Grandest.

Yet will I give you these guidelines:

The Highest Thought is always that thought which contains joy. The Clearest Words are those words which contain truth. The Grandest Feeling is that feeling which you call love. 

Joy, truth, love.

These three are interchangeable, and one always leads to the other. It matters not in which order they are placed.

Having with these guidelines determined which messages are Mine and which have come from another source, the only question remaining is whether My messages will be heeded. Most of My messages are not. Some, because they seem too good to be true. Others, because they seem too difficult to follow. Many, because they are simply misunderstood.Most, because they are not received.

My most powerful messenger is experience, and even this you ignore. Especially this you ignore.

Your world would not be in its present condition were you to have simply listened to your experience. The result of your not listening to your experience is that you keep re-living it, over and over again. For My purpose will not be thwarted, nor My will be ignored. You will get the message. Sooner or later.

I will not force you to, however. I will never coerce you. For I have given you a free will—t he power to do as you choose—a nd I will never take that away from you, ever.

And so I will continue sending you the same messages over and over again, throughout the millennia and to whatever corner of the universe you occupy. Endlessly will I send you My messages, until you have received them and held them close, calling them your own.

My messages will come in a hundred forms, at a thousand moments, across a million years.

You cannot miss them if you truly listen. You cannot ignore them once truly heard. Thus will our communication begin in earnest. For in the past you have only talked to Me, praying to Me, interceding with Me, beseeching Me. Yet now can I talk back to you, even as I am doing here.

How can I know this communication is from God? How do I know this is not my own imagination?

What would be the difference? Do you not see that I could just as easily work through your imagination as anything else? I will bring you the exact right thoughts, words or feelings, at any given moment, suited precisely to the purpose at hand, using one device, or several.

You will know these words are from Me because you, of your own accord, have never spoken so clearly. Had you already spoken so clearly on these questions, you would not be asking them.

To whom does God communicate? Are there special people? Are there special times?

All people are special, and all moments are golden. There is no person and there is no time one more special than another. Many people choose to believe that God communicates in special ways and only with special people. This removes the mass of the people from responsibility for hearing My message, much less receiving it (which is another matter), and allows them to take someone else’s word for everything. You don’t have to listen to Me, for you’ve already decided that others have heard from Me on every subject, and you have them to listen to.

By listening to what other people think they heard Me say, you don’t have to think at all.

This is the biggest reason for most people turning from My messages on a personal level. If you acknowledge that you are receiving My messages directly, then you are responsible for interpreting them. It is far safer and much easier to accept the interpretation of others (even others who have lived 2,000 years ago) than seek to interpret the message you may very well be receiving in this moment now.

Yet I invite you to a new form of communication with God. A two-way communication. In truth, it is you who have invited Me. For I have come to you, in this form, right now, in answer to your call.

Why do some people, take Christ, for example, seem to hear more of Your communication than others?

Because some people are willing to actually listen. They are willing to hear, and they are willing to remain open to the communication even when it seems scary, or crazy, or downright wrong.

We should listen to God even when what’s being said seems wrong?

Especially when it seems wrong. If you think you are right about everything, who needs to talk with God?

Go ahead and act on all that you know. But notice that you’ve all been doing that since time began. And look at what shape the world is in. Clearly, you’ve missed something. Obviously, there is something you don’t understand. That which you do understand must seem right to you, because “right” is a term you use to designate something with which you agree. What you’ve missed will, therefore, appear at first to be “wrong”.

The only way to move forward on this is to ask yourself, “What would happen if everything I thought was ‘wrong’ was actually ‘right’?” Every great scientist knows about this. When what a scientist does is not working, a scientist sets aside all of the assumptions and starts over.

All great discoveries have been made from a willingness, and ability, to not be right. And that’s what’s needed here.

You cannot know God until you’ve stopped telling yourself that you already know God. You cannot hear God until you stop thinking that you’ve already heard God.

I cannot tell you My Truth until you stop telling Me yours.

But my truth about God comes from You.

Who said so?

Others.

What others?

Leaders. Ministers. Rabbis. Priests. Books. The Bible, for heaven’s sake!

Those are not authoritative sources.

They aren’t?

No.

Then what is?

Listen to your feelings. Listen to your Highest Thoughts. Listen to your experience. Whenever any one of these differ from what you’ve been told by your teachers, or read in your books, forget the words. Words are the least reliable purveyor of Truth.
