第二十九章 结语：不过一切才刚刚开始

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE CONCLUSION: BUT IT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING

 

“只有通过成长我们才能领悟爱的真谛。”——莱斯特·利文森

"Only through growth do we really understand what love is."

Lester Levenson

（译者注：同志们~这章太高深了，我有的地方理解着有点费劲……所以能看原文的尽量看原文啊！！！不好意思鄙人实在才疏学浅……）

 

尽管这是最后一章，课程已经接近尾声了。但是不是这样的，你对释放法的应用才刚刚开始。你可以一遍又一遍地重复这本书里的练习。而且它们都是相对独立的，你可以挑任意一章、任意一套方法来单独练习。这里强调几个要点，你要牢记：

 

Even though this is the last chapter and the course is completed, it really isn't. This is only the beginning of you using the Release Technique. You can use the book and the exercises over and over again. They all stand on their own. You can turn to any chapter or any exercise and use it individually, keeping in mind some key points, highlighted here:

 

你做释放的次数越多，你的释放就会越熟练而自发

THE MORE YOU RELEASE, THE MORE SPONTANEOUS YOUR RELEASING WILL BECOME

 

随着你在释放这方面越来越熟练，你可能意识到有时候事情一边发生、你一边自动地进行着释放，不要惊讶于这一发现。留心观察，看看随着你释放地越来越频繁，这件事会变得何等得心应手。你越是刻意培养你释放的能力和态度，就越能在压力和困境面前很快地进入释放状态。

我建议你再读一遍这本书，再重复做书中的练习。你会发现第一遍读的时候有些技巧你其实没能真正掌握。这个方法是非常高深的，做得越多，才越能理解和体会其中的涵义。就像是剥洋葱，你一步一步接近内核。

 

As you become more proficient with releasing, don't be surprised if you find yourself releasing spontaneously during situations as they occur. Be on the lookout for how easy your releasing will become the more you use the Release Technique. The more you use your releasing ability, the more you will have a releasing attitude toward stressful situations.

 

I suggest you review the book again and do the exercises repeatedly. You'll find that you may not have grasped certain releasing techniques the first time around. This technique is very profound. The more you release, the more you will understand what is being taught. It's like peeling an onion--you keep getting closer and closer to the core.

 

我能不能在事情发生之后再释放呢？

CAN I RELEASE AFTER SOMETHING OCCURS?

 

有时候我们太过沉浸于自己被扰乱的心绪中，不能当场释放。不过不要担心，你完全可以过后再释放。把每个低谷当做积蓄力量的过程，把这种事当做精进释放法的机会。你的释放能力会因此大大增强的。

 

Sometimes we get so stirred up that we don't always release on the spot. Don't worry about it; you can always release later. Use every down as an up. This will greatly improve your ability to release.

 

我能针对期待进行释放吗？

CAN I RELEASE ON AN EXPECTATION?

 

针对期盼或预期释放其实是个不错的想法。有时候你可以问问自己，“我能否把自作聪明这种心理放下，允许事情超出我意料之外呢？”这会对消除预期、减少那些自我实现的预言有很大帮助。

 

It's a good idea to release on expectations or anticipations. Sometimes you can ask yourself, "Can I let go of being so smart and allow it to be other than I think it is?" This will neutralize an anticipation and prevent a self-fulfilling prophecy from taking shape.

 

持续释放，直到所有的放不开都被消灭掉

KEEP RELEASING UNTIL ALL CLUTCHING IS ELIMINATED

 

不要再把那些负面能量都存到以后，就趁你还能感受到它，把所有的负面能量都释放掉吧。

 

Don't save some negative energy for later. While you still feel it, get rid of all negative energy.

 

如果我不堪重负了怎么办呢？

WHAT DO I DO IF I'M OVERWHELMED?

 

很简单，垂下头，把肩膀后靠放松一下。进入无畏状态然后邀请那股能量上浮——它会自行离开的。记住，任何释放行为都会帮你摆脱一些沉积的负面能量，所以继续努力吧，你能够一点一点除掉它的，不要放弃。你可以对于停滞不前这种状态做一下“好处与坏处”的练习，或者对某个其他的东西做释放，这样可以让你的释放肌肉保持开动的状态。你也可以请一些懂得释放法的同好帮助你释放一下。

记住，虽然你和别人在一起的时候不大方便老是垂下头，但是你可以把手覆在胸腹之间来提醒自己开始释放。好好享受这个绝妙的方法吧。请让我知道一下你的进度，你可以通过我的网站（www.releasetechnique.com）联系我。我非常有兴趣看看你们给我的反馈，看看丰盛课程是怎样作用于你们身上的。如果你有什么问题，或是停滞不前了，我非常开心能为你解答。

 

Simply put your head down and pull your shoulders back. Move into courageousness and ask the energy to come up—and it will leave. Remember that any release gets rid of the accumulated negative energy, so keep chipping away at it instead of giving up. Do an advantage and disadvantage of being stuck or start releasing on something else so you can open the releasing muscle. You can also call another releasing buddy and ask them to help you release.

 

Remember that you don't have to put your head down during the time you're with people, but you can put your hand on your stomach or chest area to start releasing. Enjoy this wonderful, wonderful technique. Please let me know how you're doing. Contact me via my company's website at www.releasetechnique.com. I'm truly interested in getting feedback on how the program is working for you. If you have a question or if you're stuck, I'll be happy to point you in the right direction.

 

针对“接近于存在状态”进行清理

CLEANUP ON MOVING TO BEINGNESS

 

现在，我们来做一套清理练习。闭上眼，放松，感受一下你胸腹之间是否有一些紧抓的、放不开的感觉？垂下头，允许那股能量浮上表面、穿越离开吧。现在看看那里有没有某种抗拒感？如果有的话，还是允许那股能量上浮离开吧。你最近是否在试图搞清某件事？这种想要搞清楚的欲望其实就是没有答案的匮乏感。当你想要搞清某件事时，其实是在命令你的头脑不要给你答案。你能与你胸腹之间那股无用能量——那种“没有答案”的感觉——取得接触吗？你能把它放下吗？就允许它穿过你离开吧。你能把那种想要知道对于这件事你能做些什么的欲望也一同放下吗？释放更多，越多越好。你能把想要知道答案的那种欲望放下吗？释放更多，越多越好。

你是否曾经不认同自己呢？现在你能否唤起那种不认同的、自我否定的能量呢？我们所有人都有这种习惯。就把这种能量唤醒吧，垂下头，允许它浮上表面、穿过你离开吧。释放更多，越多越好。你能否给自己一些认同呢？哪怕就是为了玩儿，不需要为此找理由。那你能再给自己些认同吗？再多一些呢？更多一些呢？现在注意到认同感是从哪里来的了吧，是从你自己那里来的，而不是外界。所以你还能再给自己多一点认同吗？再多一点呢？更多一点呢？事情还能变得更好一些吗？你为何不继续释放、找到答案呢？事情还能再变好一些吗？你能够通过释放来找到答案吗？事情还会变得更好吗？放吧，放吧，越多越好。

 

Now let's do a cleanup. Just close your eyes and relax--and see if there's any clutching going on in your stomach or chest. Put your head down and allow the energy to come up and allow it to pass through. Now see if there's any resistance. If there is, just allow that energy to come up and pass through. See if there's anything you're trying to figure out. That wanting to figure out is the lacking of answer. You're actually instructing your mind not to give you an answer by wanting to figure it out. Could you get in touch with that unwanted energy in your stomach or chest area--that "lacking an answer" feeling? Could you let go of that lacking feeling? Just allow it to pass through. And could you let go of wanting to know what to do about it? And more. And even more. Could you let go of wanting to know any answers? And more. And even more.

 

Have you been disapproving of yourself? Could you call up that disapproval energy, that beating yourself up energy? It's a habit in all of us. Just call it up. Put your head down and allow it to come up and pass through. And more. And more. And even more. And could you give yourself some approval? Just for the heck of it? No reason necessary. And could you give yourself some more approval? And more. And more. And even more. Notice where the approval comes from. It comes from you. It does not come from outside yourself. So could you give yourself some more approval? And more. And more. And even more. Could it get any better? And could you let go and find out? And could it get any better? And could you let go and find out? And could it get any better? And more. And more.

 

你能否唤起一些想要控制因失控而产生的匮乏感的欲望吗？记住：想要就等于匮乏。你能把这种想要控制的欲望放下吗？释放更多，越多越好。你能否再唤起一些想要控制的欲望？你能把它放下吗？你愿意把它放下吗？那你什么时候把它放下呢？你还能唤起更多想要控制的欲望吗？它实际上也是一种匮乏感。你能把你胸腹之间的这种匮乏感放下吗？释放更多，越多越好。看看你能再唤起一些想要被认同的欲望吗？想想那些谎言，说认同感来自外界，说你必须得做些什么来从别人那里获得认同感。你能把这种匮乏感放下吗？释放更多，越多越好。你能否再唤起一些想要安全妥当的欲望呢？多唤起一点，越多越好。你能看穿它作为一种匮乏感的本质吗？你能再多唤起一些这种匮乏感，然后允许它穿过你离开吗？它不好也不坏，只不过是个路过的现象。放吧，放吧，越多越好。

现在看看你是否也有这样一个故事，一个“我好悲催”的故事。你是不是有过那种“我得不到我想要的”或是“没人爱我”的经历？或者“我是受害者”的经历？不管是什么吧，你能否就只是允许它上浮离开？释放更多，越多越好。现在你是不是还有其他的想要放下的经历？不管是怎样的经历，你能允许它淡化消逝吗？释放更多，越多越好。你是否能唤起一些想要分离的欲望？你能把这种欲望放下吗？释放更多，越多越好。回想一些你想要与之分离的人和事，你能把这种想要分离的欲望放下吗？释放更多，越多越好。

 

See if you can bring up some of the wanting to control that lacking feeling of being out of control. Remember: wanting equals lack. Could you let go of wanting to control? And more. And more. And could you bring up some of that wanting control? Could you let it go? Would you let it go? And when? And see if you can bring up some more of that wanting control. It's that lacking feeling. Could you let that lack go from your stomach or chest area? And more. And more. And more. And see if you can bring up some of the wanting of approval- the lie that approval lies outside oneself--the lie that you have to do something to get it from someone else. Could you let go of that lacking feeling? And more. And more. And even more. And could you bring up some of the wanting to be safe and secure? And more. And more. Can you see it's a lacking feeling? And can you bring up some more of that lacking feeling and just allow it to pass through? It's not good, it's not bad. It's just phenomenon passing through. And more. And more. And even more. And even more.

 

Now see if you have a story--a "poor me" story. Do you have an "I can't get what I want" story or "nobody loves me" story? How about an "I'm a victim" story? Whatever story there is, could you just allow it to come up and allow it to pass through? And more. And more. And even more. And even more. Now see if you have another story you'd like to let go. Whatever the story is, could you allow it to evaporate and dissolve? And more. And even more. And even more. See if you could bring up some of the wanting to be separate. Could you let go of wanting to be separate? And more. And more. And more. Think of something or somebody you want to be separate form. Could you let go of wanting to be separate? And more. And more. And even more.

 

现在，截取你头脑中的一个场景，不管那对你来说意味着什么。还记得那部老剧《太空仙女恋》吗？还记得那个小仙女是如何从在男主人公的命令之下从瓶子里“挥发”出来的吗？你能不能让那个场景也溶解挥发掉呢？试着释放更多，越多越好。再让你脑海中浮现一下你身体的样子，不管那对你来说意味着什么。你能让那个画面也溶解挥发掉吗？试着释放更多，越多越好。再接触一下说着“如果我不这么做，就不能怎样怎样，所以我不得不做一、二、三、四……”的那部分你自己。你能否允许那种你不得不做任何事、所有事的观点和信念也溶解挥发呢？释放更多，越多越好。你能不能服从那个绝对存在？允许绝对存在来搞定那些事，让它为你来搞定那些事。释放更多，越多越好。

现在问问自己这个问题：如果我不是我的心智，不是我的身体，不是我的“小我”，我是什么？不管你下意识的回答是什么，你能承认它、相信它、把自己奉献给它吗？就允许自己服从它？释放更多，越多越好。

 

Now get a picture of your mind, whatever that means to you. Remember the television show "I Dream of Jeannie"? Remember how she would evaporate out of the bottle on command? Can you allow that picture of your mind to evaporate and dissolve? And more. And more. And more. And even more. And get a picture of your body, whatever that means to you. And could you allow that picture of your body to evaporate and dissolve? And more. And more. And even more. And get in touch with that part of you that says, "If I don't do it, I won't get it done. I have to do everything." Could you allow the concept that you have to do anything, the belief that you have to do everything, to evaporate and dissolve? And more. And more. And even more. And could you surrender to beingness? Allow beingness to take care of it. Allow beingness to do it for you. And more. And more. And even more.

 

And now ask yourself the question: If I'm not my mind and I'm not my body and I'm not my ego, then what am I? Whatever spontaneous answer you get, could you give yourself to that answer? Allow yourself to surrender to it. And more. And more. And more. And even more.

 

你现在所处的状态要开始对你说话了。为了方便练习，让我们叫它“平静”。“平静”是自发的、下意识的。它对我们说话的时候和心智是不一样的，它不会像心智那样先分析后回答。所以不管它给你的答案是什么，都是比较靠谱的。

我们来问“平静”几个问题吧，看看它第一时间给出的答案是什么。从“平静”的角度来看，是否真的有“过去”这种东西？注意你下意识的回答，然后接受它。

 

This place that you're in right now speaks to you. And for the purposes of this exercise, let's call it "Quiet." Quiet is very spontaneous. It speaks to us differently than the mind, which analyzes things before it answers you. So just take whatever answer you get.

 

Let's ask Quiet some questions and take the first answer that comes. From Quiet's point of view, is there such a thing as the past? Just notice your spontaneous answer and take what you get.

 

从“平静”的角度来看，是否真的有“未来”这种东西？

从“平静”的角度来看，是否真的有“正确”这种东西？

从“平静”的角度来看，是否真的有“错误”这种东西？

从“平静”的角度来看，是否真的有“好”这种东西？

从“平静”的角度来看，是否真的有“坏”这种东西？

从“平静”的角度来看，是否真的有“生”这种东西？

从“平静”的角度来看，是否真的有“死”这种东西？

从“平静”的角度来看，为了谋生，你需要做什么？

从“平静”的角度来看，为了觉醒、为了实现自己、为了获得自由，你需要做什么？

 

From Quiet’s point of view, is there such a thing as the future?

From Quiet's point of view, is there such a thing as right?

From Quiet's point of view, is there such a thing as wrong?

From Quiet's point of view, is there such a thing as good?

From Quiet's point of view, is there such a thing as bad?

From Quiet's point of view, is there such a thing as birth?

From Quiet's point of view, is there such a thing as death?

From Quiet's point of view, what do you need to do to make a living?

From Quiet's point of view, what do you need to do to awaken, to be realized, to be free?

 

感受一下，在你现在所处的状态，有什么消极的事可能发生在你身上吗？感受一下，在你现在所处的状态，你有可能被攻击被消灭吗？检查一下。那么你能不能再把自己再进一步奉献给“平静”呢？让它带着你走，不管去向何方。就像乘着筏子在小溪里漂流。就允许自己把背上的包袱都卸下来。允许那小溪带着你走。再把多一些的自己奉献给“平静”吧，越多越好。

你能否把你的心智交给“平静”，让它来为你进行所有的思考呢？再进一步服从于它。你能否把你的肉体也交给“平静“，让它来控制你所有的身体机能呢？再服从地多一点吧，再多一点。你能否把所有你觉得自己必须做的事交给“平静”呢？就让“平静”替你搞定。就在这个状态里安顿下来吧，在这个状态里，你能够挖掘出你最深处的、压抑最久的垃圾。它们自己也并不想留下来，所以就让它们穿过你离开吧。莱斯特说，不要为了追逐快感而释放，而是为了完成释放而达成快感。所以如果你现在已经沉浸在快感中了，那么恭喜你，继续挖掘的时候到了。不要对这种美好的感觉恋恋不舍，问问自己，事情能变得更好一些吗？继续释放来找出答案吧！不要流连于现在的美好感觉，问问自己，事情能变得更好一些吗？就继续通过释放来找答案吧！如果你喜欢这个练习，你可以把这种清理程序视为一盒磁带，可以一遍一遍来回放的那种。

 

See if it's possible for anything negative to happen to you in this place that you're in right now. See if it's possible for you to be destroyed in the place you're in right now. Check and see. And could you give yourself to Quiet even more? Just allow Quiet to take you wherever it's going. It's like sitting in a stream on a raft. And just allow yourself to put your bags down. Allow the stream to take you wherever it's going. And more. And more. And even more.

 

And could you turn your mind over to Quiet and let it do all the thinking for you? And surrender to it even more. And could you turn your body over to Quiet and let it take care of all your bodily functions? And more. And more. And even more. And could you turn anything you had to do over to Quiet? Just allow Quiet to take care of it. And just rest in this place. And in this place, that's where you can dig up your deepest, most suppressed garbage. It wants to leave, so just let it pass through. Lester said don't release to get high, get high to release. So if you're high right now, now's the time to continue digging. Don't just hold on to that nice feeling. Ask yourself, could it get any better? Let go and find out. Don't just hold on to that nice feeling. Ask yourself, could it get any better? Let go and find out. If you like this exercise, you can call and order the cleanup cassette, which you can use over and over again.
