【原文】
Ego arises when your sense of Beingness, of "I Am," which is formless consciousness, gets mixed up with form. This is the meaning of identification. This is forgetfulness of Being, the primary error, the illusion of absolute separateness that turns reality into a nightmare.
Ego is always identification with form, seeking yourself and thereby losing yourself in some form. Forms are not just material objects and physical bodies. More fundamental than the external forms —— things and bodies——are the thought forms that continuously arise in the field of consciousness.
【译文】
自我的出现,来自于人对存在或者“我存在”
自我总是寻求与各种具体形态的认同,这种寻找必将导致你强调某些形态,却忽视其他一些。形态并非仅是物质。
【心得】
如果有人对你说,想法是物体,你能接受么?我想我能。我们不能“
我们不知道想法是怎么出现的, 但是它总是不停的冒出来——尤其是在你无所事事的时候。 如果你能接受思维是事物,是形态,就可以了。
这一段除了这个, 没有将别的额外意思。
