You do not need to pray repeatedly for things you want; it is not necessary to tell God about it every day.
所以,你根本無須不斷地祈禱,重復自己的夢想。事實上,你只要清楚明確地表達一次,這就已經足夠了。
"Use not vain repetitions as the heathen do," said Jesus said to his pupils, "for your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things before ye ask Him.
每天重復同樣的夢想并不會幫助你更快地實現它。
Your part is to intelligently formulate your desire for the things which make for a larger life, and to get these desire arranged into a coherent whole; and then to impress this Whole Desire upon the Formless Substance, which has the power and the will to bring you what you want.
你需要做的就是利用自身的智慧,通過簡潔明了的語言,將自己渴望擴大生活空間、改善生活質量的欲望清楚完整地表達出來,然后將頻率傳給宇宙。宇宙將會有能力和意愿去幫助你達成愿望。
You do not make this impression by repeating strings of words; you make it by holding the vision with unshakable PURPOSE to attain it, and with steadfast FAITH that you do attain it.
而要讓宇宙了解你的欲望,你根本不需要不斷地重復那些程式化的語言,你需要做的就是樹立一個明確的目標和堅定的信念,相信自己一定能夠實現夢想。
The answer to prayer is not according to your faith while you are talking, but according to your faith while you are working.
不過,還是那句話,光有信仰是不夠的。對那些有信仰但卻只會夸夸其談的人,宇宙只會對其失望地搖搖頭:只有那些愿意將信仰付諸行動的人,才能從生活中得到想要的答案。
You cannot impress the mind of God by having a special Sabbath day set apart to tell Him what you want, and then forgetting Him during the rest of the week. You cannot impress Him by having special hours to go into your closet and pray, if you then dismiss the matter from your mind until the hour of prayer comes again.
如果你只有偶爾或遇到困難的時候,才會想起向宇宙傳達頻率,想到應該向他表述你的愿望,而過后又立刻將他拋至腦后,那么,很遺憾,你的愿望永遠都不可能實現。很多人只有在遇到困難的時候,才會猛然想到宇宙能量的存在,然后便慌慌張張地拾起早已被自已遺忘的愿望與信仰,希望生活能賜予自己一切,可過后便又立刻將這一切都忘到九霄云外,直到下一個困難時期的到來。對于這樣的人,生活對他的態度是很鮮明的:置之不理。
Oral prayer is well enough, and has its effect, especially upon yourself, in clarifying your vision and strengthening your faith; but it is not your oral petitions which get you what you want. In order to get rich you do not need a "sweet hour of prayer"; you need to "pray without ceasing." And by prayer I mean holding steadily to your vision, with the purpose to cause its creation into solid form, and the faith that you are doing so.
正如我們說過的要拋開現象看本質一樣,真心誠意地渴求,僅用口述就已經足矣。宇宙自然會接收到你的頻率。我們完全可以用簡單明了的幾句話,甚至幾個字,清楚地闡明自己的觀點,增強自身的能量。不過,我們必須明白,真正能夠促使我們夢想成真的并不是這簡單的口頭請求。短暫的祈禱根本無助于你實現夢想,哪怕你的言辭再甜美,你也無法借此打動宇宙:只有堅持不懈地用心靈和思想進行溝通和交流,凡事懷有感恩的心,你才能從他那兒獲得你想要的一切。我所說的祈禱,即堅信藍圖必將實現,同時牢記自己的目標和信仰。
"Believe that ye receive them."
“請相信,你將得到一切?!?/p>
The whole matter tums on receiving, once you have clearly formed your vision. When you have formed it, it is well to make an oral statement, addressing the Supreme in reverent prayer; and from that moment you must, in mind, receive what you ask for. Live in the new house; wear the fine clothes; ride in the automobile; go on the journey, and confidently plan for greater journeys. Think and speak of all the things you have asked for in terms of actual present ownership. Imagine an environment, and a financial condition exactly as you want them, and live all the time in that imaginary environment and financial condition. Mind, however, that you do not do this as a mere dreamer and castle builder; hold to the FAITH that the imaginary is being realized, and to the PURPOSE to realize it. Remember that it is faith and purpose in the use of the imagination which make the difference between the scientist and the dreamer. And having learned this fact, it is here that you must learn the proper use of the Will.
一旦你的腦海里有了這樣一幅清楚的藍圖,接下來,你需要做的就是等待并接受藍圖上的夢想變為現實。所以,當你有了這樣的設想之后,你應當馬上將它清楚明了地表達出來,然后向宇宙發射頻率。從宇宙知道你的愿望那一刻開始,你就必須在腦海里不斷地、反復地設想自己得到這一切的情景:住進了新房子:穿上了價值不菲的新衣服;有了一輛屬于自己的車:外出度假并在途中繼續策劃更精彩的下一步旅行計劃,總之,你的腦海里只有一個念頭:得到這一切,同時,想像自己愿望實現時的一幕幕場景,想像當自己具備了愿望當中的經濟條件后的畫面,給自己制造出一種身臨其境的感覺。不過,請記住,你絕不能僅僅滿足于當一名夢想家。你不能在設計好夢想城堡后就將其束之高閣,你必須堅信所有這一切最終都將成為現實,并且通過自己的實際行動不斷增強這一信仰的力度,牢記實現這一切的目標。科學家與夢想家之間最大的差別就在于,前者會讓信仰和目標不斷作用于自己的思想,并為了讓腦海中的想像成為現實而努力;而后者則只會陶醉于偉大美好的想像中,忽視了信仰和目標的作用。當你了解并掌握這一切之后,接下來要做的就是學習如何恰到好處地利用自己的意志力。
