The Child: Father, what is the quickest way to attain being in the Now?

孩子：父親，做到處於當下的最快方法是什麼？

The Sun: It is known that human beings love shortcuts because mind works that way, but the question is significant. Although you are asking for a method , the mind is , because the mind needs endless methods and exercises and complicated answers to resolve things for which it doesn’t even have a definition , still there is such a way to attain to being in the Now.

太陽：眾所周知，人類喜愛捷徑，因為頭腦如此運作，但問題是有意義的。儘管你在詢問一個方法，頭腦就是，因為頭腦需要無限的方法、練習和複雜的答案來解決它甚至都沒有一個定義的東西，依舊有著一個方法來做到處於當下

It requires no effort and no methods, no special classes or training. The school is your life and your experiences .

它不需要費力、不需要方法、不需要特殊的課程或訓練。學校就是你的生活和你的體驗

All you need is a sincere profound desire and a true understanding that you reached by yourself after experimentation as in why you want to be in the now. If you have these two you are probably already in the now. In that very moment . It’s instantaneous.

你所需要的就是一個真誠深刻的渴望和一個真正的理解---在試驗後，關於為什麼你想要處於當下，你是靠自己到達的。如果你有這兩者，你也許已經在當下了。它是暫態發生的。

Once you understood how futile going back and forth in your mind is and how much energy is wasted in these imaginary travels that could otherwise be used in being stabilised in the present moment you will release naturally all resistance. Remember , you will release your resistance to being in the now naturally. You do not run away from now moment, you resist it . When you re-run past events, wishing them to have never left or worried they would come back and ruin you future plans , you are not running from the now, you simply resist it. The now moment pulls you continuously into facing something of enormous importance which is yourself. Now moment is not related to events which are always external but is related entirely to you. Your reaction to external events is a mirror of where you are and how you live internally, if you are re-running old stories and fears or if you allow yourself to react out of the spontaneity of your now . This happens because, to be in the now is your natural state of being. When you are relaxed in yourself, in silence , just you and your breathing , in your environment , you simply enter into a natural communion with yourself and the universe. And this does not require any methods. It will not be dazzling, it will not be what you call extraordinary event, on the contrary, it will never attract attention to it.

一旦你明白在你的頭腦中前前後後是有多無用以及在這些虛構的旅行中浪費了多少精力，本可以用來安定地處於當下，你自然就會釋放所有的抗拒。記住，你會自然釋放你處於當下的抗拒。你並不是逃離當下，你抗拒它。當你重溫過去的事件，希望它們從未離去或者擔憂它們會再度返回並毀了你未來的計畫，你不是在逃離當下，你只是在抗拒它。當下會不斷地拉扯你去面對極其重要的東西，那就是你自己。當下並不與總是從屬於外在的事件有關，而是完全與你相關。你對外在事件的反應是對你在內在處於哪裡和如何生活的一個反射，如果你在重溫舊的故事和恐懼或者你是在讓自己從當下的自發性中做出反應。這會發生是因為，處於當下就是你自然的存在狀態。當你在自身之中放輕鬆，處於寂靜，在你的環境中只有你和你的呼吸，你進入一個與自己和宇宙的自然交流。這不需要任何的方法。它不會是耀眼的，它不會是你稱為的離奇事件，相反，它從不會引起人們的注意

The more you will use your mind trying this method or that method to attain to now the further you will be from it and from you and the more you will tire your mind. But even that is not a bad thing because in the end after you will have tried everything that can be possibly tried maybe then you will let all that effort go and just relax in the everlasting moment of now.

你越多地使用你的頭腦去嘗試這個方法或那個方法來處於當下，你就會離它、離你自己越遠，你的頭腦會越累。但即使這並是一件壞事，因為最終，在你嘗試了一切可以嘗試的之後，也許你會放下所有的努力，只是在永恆的當下中放鬆

The child : Why is being in the now so important ?

孩子：為什麼處於當下如此重要？

The Sun: The Now moment connects you to universal life, to universal love. Being In the now means you are moving and transforming with the entire creation and you are aware of this. You are happening with it and you are co- creating with it. This is what it means to be conscious part, co-creator with all seen and unseen existence . It is something really that simple. You are born with this. When you are in the now you are suddenly aware of this and it happens naturally, the co-creation , the being , the joy, the serenity, the love. When you are in the mind, running into the past and then rushing into the future , never satisfied, worried , you cannot be aware any longer not even of your own functioning let alone of the universal transformations. When you are in the now , living in harmony with all life in all its perceived manifestations you will no longer speak about it and question it. Because Life had absorbed you back into its weaving. It’s like a living death of the old ego because once you are integrated back into the sacred heart of the universe and connected to it there will be nobody left to speak out. Would a tree ever draw attention to him saying , ” look at me I have the oldest roots, I have been here before all of you ?!” Once you are in the now and reconnected to your true nature you will find the meaning of real joy , and you will find joy in being in the vast unknown that is the moment of now and you will find joy in feeling ” suspended ” in no time because the concept of time is abolished when you are in the now. You still perceive and participate in the mechanics of your world but its reality would feel staged and you will laugh.

太陽：當下將你與宇宙的生活和愛連接。處於當下意味著你伴隨著整體造物移動和轉變，你知道到這一點。你在與它一同發生，你在與它共同創造。這就是有意識地參與、和所有可見/不可見的存在共同創造的含義。它真的就這麼簡單。它是你與生俱來的。當你處於當下，你突然意識到這一點，這發生地非常自然，共同創造、存在、喜悅、寧靜、愛。當你處於頭腦中，沖向過去，然後沖向未來，從不感到滿足，擔憂，你再也意識不到自己的運作，更不用說宇宙的轉變。當你處於當下，與所有生命（在他們感知到的體現中）處於和諧，你再也不會談論它和質疑它。因為生命將你吸收回它的編織中。這就像舊小我的垂死，因為一旦你被整合回宇宙神聖的心並與它連接，就沒有別人可以去述說。一棵樹會不會為了引起人們的注意而說“看我，我擁有最古老的根，我在你們出生前就在這了？！”一旦你處於當下，與你真實的本質重新連接，你會發現真正的喜悅含義，你會發現處於廣闊的未知中（也就是當下）而來的喜悅，你會在感到“漂浮”於無時間中而來的喜悅，因為時間的概念會在你處於當下的時候被廢除。你依舊感到和參與到你們世界的結構中，但它的現實會感覺像是戲劇，你會歡笑

You might not be able to describe it in words but those around you will feel and be transformed by the light emanated from you.

你也許無法在話語中描述它，但你周圍的人會感到你散發出來的光並被其轉變

Attaining to now can happen right here and right now in the deep acknowledgment of your heart that all running is like dust in the wind. All methods are just crutches meant to bring you closer to when you can finally walk alone and let go. And when you finally let go and stand alone with no crutches, alone in the immense wilderness and wondrousness of the universe, you will realise that you have never been alone and that from each corner you are showered with love and welcomed by all your brothers and sisters . To reach the deep understanding that all running in the mind is futile and just the opposite of what you are looking for is already an important step in giving the mind a well deserved rest.

處於當下現在就能發生，在你深度的心之認識中（一切都像風中之塵那樣在運行）。所有的方法就像拐杖，意在於帶你更加接近你可以最終獨自行走並放手的時刻。當你終於放手，不帶拐杖獨自站立，站立在巨大廣闊奇妙的宇宙中，你會意識到你從未孤單，愛從每一個角落沐浴你，你所有的兄弟姐妹歡迎你。到達深度的理解---頭腦中運行的一切都是無用的，與你所尋求的恰恰相反---就是重要的一步，給予頭腦一個值得擁有的休息

The child : In this world what is the most evolutionary version of now to work with ?

孩子：在這個世界，什麼是最先進的當下版本可以去共事？

The Sun : In this world, to be in the now is like having peripheral vision. Is to be aware of both infinite potentialities -past and future-and still to be anchored in the present, to always react out of the present and to always love out of the present, without fear. When you are anchored in the present, reacting out of your present , you are always altering its continuous and by altering your present you are continuously altering your past and your future to their never ending best versions.

太陽：在這個世界，處於當下就像擁有周邊視覺。就是意識到無限的潛能---過去和未來---並同時錨定於當下，總是從當下反應，總是從當下去愛，不帶恐懼。當你錨定於當下，從當下反應，你總是在改變它的連續性，通過改變你的當下，你不斷地在把你的過去和未來改變成它們永不完結的最佳版本
