第10部分(第1页)

上,你不仅屈从了环境,更重要的是放弃了自己思想的出发点,放弃了选择悲伤或快乐、恐惧或希望、优点或弱点。

我有两个朋友,他们曾在多年前失去了含辛茹苦而积攒的储蓄。面对这样的困境,其中一个人从此一蹶不振,并陷入了无尽的愤懑、担忧与失望之中。

而另外一个人在读早报时,才发现存钱的那家银行倒闭了,而自己将分文皆无。他只是稍微镇定了一会儿,便语气坚定地说道:“既然已经没了,烦恼与忧愁也不会有什么用处,还是继续努力工作挽回损失吧!”

精神焕发的他再次全身心地投入到工作中去,不久以后便又成了有钱人。而前者还在为失去的钱而悲痛不已,并不停地抱怨自己的坏运气。他依然迷失在艰难的处境里,而这都是自己软弱而卑微的思想造成的。

对前者来说,失去全部金钱意味着最恶毒的诅咒,因为他会用阴暗、悲观的情绪去对待这件事情;不过,对后者而言,失去了全部金钱却无异于一种恩赐,因为他从中学到了坚强,拥有了希望与重新焕发的力量。

假如环境拥有足够的力量去祝福或摧毁我们的生活,那么他应该一视同仁。然而在现实生活中,相同的境遇却产生了两种截然相反的思想——积极的思想和消极的思想。由此可知,在遇到某种境遇后,一个人心境的好坏不在于环境,而仅仅在于人们内心不同的反应。

世界源于你的思想(2)

当你认识到这个道理,你就可以掌握自己的思想,调节并训练自己的思想。最终重新塑造灵魂的宫殿,彻底驱除所有华而不实、没有价值的思想,并让快乐与平静、生命与活力、爱心和怜悯围绕在你的身边。

在大多数人看来,广阔无垠的大海不过是既可以让船只航行,又可以让其颠覆而已。然而在音乐家的眼中,大海却是活生生的,他可以倾听大海变化多端的情绪,还有一种美妙和谐的韵律。

普通人只看得到灾难与不幸,而哲人头脑中却预见了理想的因果关系;相同的道理,实物主义者的眼中除了无尽的死亡,别无他物,神秘主义者却能体会到永恒跳动的生命。

■ 心灵小语

美好的世界就掌握在你的手中。带着肮脏而自私的灵魂看世界,世界将是一片阴郁灰暗;而载着快乐和美丽的心灵,眼里的世界将是五彩斑斓。用积极的思想改变你的生活,打造你的美好人生!

The World a Reflex of Mental States

James Allen

What you are; so is your world。 Everything in the universe is resolved into your own inward experience。 It matters little what is without; for it is all a reflections of your own state of consciousness。

It matters everything what you are within; for everything without will be mirrored and colored accordingly。

All that you positively know is contained in your own experience; all that you ever will know must pass through the gateway of experience; and so bee part of yourself。

Your own thoughts; desires; and aspirations prise your world; and; to you; all that there is in the universe of beauty and joy and bliss; or of ugliness and sorrow and pain; is contained within yourself。

By your own thoughts you make or mar your life; your world; your universe; as you build within by the power of thought; so will your outward life and circumstances shape themselves accordingly。

Whatsoever you harbor in the inmost chambers of your heart will; sooner or later by the inevitable law of reaction; shape itself in your outward life。

The soul that is impure; sordid and selfish; is gravitating with unerring precession toward misfortune and catastrophe ; the soul that is pure; unselfish; and noble is gravitating with equal precision toward happiness and prosperity。

Every soul attracts its own; and nothing can possibly e to it that does not belong to it。

The incidents of every human life; which both make and mar; are drawn to it by the quality and power of its own inner thought…life。 Every soul is a plex bination of gathered experiences and thoughts; and the body is but an improvised vehicle for its manifestation.

What; therefore; your thoughts are; that is your real self; and the world around; both animate and inanimate; wears the aspect with which your thoughts clothe it。

Whether one be fearful or fearless; foolish or wise; troubled or serene; within that soul lies the cause of its own state or states; and never without。 And now I seem to hear a chorus of voices exclaim; “But do you really mean to say that outward circumstances do not affect our minds?” I do not say that; but I say this; and know it to be an infallible truth; that circumstances can only affect you in so far as you allow them to do so。

世界源于你的思想(3)

You are swayed by circumstances because you have not a right understanding of the nature; use; and power of thought。

You believe (and upon this little word belief hang all our sorrows and joys) that outward things have the power to make or mar your life; by so doing you submit to those outward things; confess that you are their slave; and they your unconditional master; by so doing; you invest them with a power which they do not; of themselves; possess; and you succumb; in reality; not to the mere circumstances; but to the gloom or gladness; the fear or hope; the strength or weakness; which your thought…sphere has thrown around them。

I knew two men who; at an early age; lost the hard…earned savings of years。 One was very deeply troubled; and gave way to chagrin; worry; and despondency。

The other; on reading in his morning paper that the bank in which his money was deposited had hopelessly failed; and that he had lost all; quietly and firmly remarked; “Well; it’s gone; and trouble and worry won’t bring it back; but hard work will。”

He went to work with renewed vigor; and rapidly became prosperous; while the former man; continuing to mourn the loss of his money; and to grumble at his “bad luck” remained the sport and tool of adverse circumstances; in reality of his own weak and slavish thoughts。
