It's not a story that most people would like to read. I can understand how it could be frustrating to see him inherit all that money, while she worked so hard.
That's why it's so important for you, me, and everyone else to understand these Universal Laws.
这不是一个绝大多数人愿意读的故事。我能理解当她辛勤工作时,看到他继承所有的钱是多么得令人沮丧。
这正是为什么理解宇宙法则对你,对我对我们每个人是如此得重要的原因!
He Didn’t Struggle for Money?
他不为钱而挣扎?
(The following is an example of an audience member’s question at an Abraham-Hicks workshop.)
(下面是一则例子,来自Abraham-Hicks工作室一位听众会员的问题。)
Question: I have a friend who had basically financially supported her former husband for about ten years. She worked hard and took care of him for all of that time, often struggling to earn enough money to support them. Eventually she grew tired of his unwillingness to contribute financially, and they separated. Her husband never showed any evidence that money was important to him, but he has now just inherited over a million dollars—and now he will not share his money with his ex-wife (my friend), who supported him for all of those years.
问题:我有一个朋友,她在经济上支持她的前夫近10年的时间。她总是努力工作并照顾他,尽其所能地赚足够的钱来维持他们的生活。终于她厌倦了他不情愿在经济上有所分担,他们分手了。她的丈夫从来都没显示过钱对他是有多么重要的迹象,但是现在他却继承了超过一百万美元的财产---现在他也不和他的前妻(我的朋友)分享他的钱,那个供养他这么多年生活的人。
It doesn’t seem fair that she cared about money and worked hard for it and received so little, while he barely worked, didn’t seem to care about money, and has now inherited over a million dollars. How can this be?
真是不公平--她辛苦工作规划着如何用钱,却收获甚微,他很少工作,甚至看上去对钱漠不关心,现在却继承了一百万多美金。怎么会是这样呢?
Abraham (the rest of the chapter is Abraham speaking) :
Abraham亚伯拉罕(接下来是亚伯拉罕的解答):
Understanding the Law of Attraction as we do, this story makes perfect sense. This woman worked hard, felt resentment, focused upon lack—and the Universe matched those feelings precisely. Her husband felt ease, refused to feel guilty, expected things to come to him easily—and the Universe matched those feelings precisely.
这个故事对我们理解吸引力法则很有意义。这个女人辛苦工作,充满怨恨,聚焦缺失--宇宙恰恰准确地匹配那些感受。她的丈夫感觉安逸,没有负疚感,认为万事于他得之容易--宇宙也恰恰准确匹配了他的感受。
Many believe that they must work hard, struggle, pay a price, and feel pain, and that they will then be rewarded for their struggle—but that is not consistent with the Laws of the Universe: You cannot find a happy ending to an unhappy journey. That defies Law.
许多人相信他们必须努力工作,挣扎着,付出代价,痛苦不堪,他们就会因付出而得到回报--但是那与宇宙法则不相一致:你无法在一个不幸福的旅程中找到一个幸福的结局。这违背了法律。
There is not a shred of evidence to the contrary of the Law of Attraction; and you had the benefit of knowing these two people, seeing their attitudes, and watching their results: one struggling, working very hard, doing what society has taught her—and not getting what she wants … the other refusing to struggle, insisting on a feeling of ease—and being the recipient of the resources that support more ease.
没有一丁点儿证据相悖于吸引力法则; 你受益于知道这两个人,看到他们的态度和结果:一个挣扎着拼命工作,做着社会教给她的东西--却没得到她想得到的...另一个任其自然,坚持活得舒服些--成为拥有更多生活安逸资源的接受者。
Many would say, “Well, it might be consistent with the Laws of the Universe, but it’s still not right,” but we want you to know that when you get in sync with this powerful Law, you will then understand the absolute justice of it.
许多人会说,“是的,它也许和宇宙法则相一致,但它仍是不正确的,”但是我们想让你知道,当你和这个强有力的法则保持同步时,你将理解它的绝对公正性。
Since you have control over what you offer, what could be more just than the Universe giving you exactly what you offer vibrationally? What could be more just than the powerful Law of Attraction responding equally to everyone who offers a vibration? Once you gain control over the thoughts you think, your sense of injustice will subside and will be replaced with the exuberance for life and the zest to create that you were born with. Let everything in the Universe be an example to you of the way the Laws of the Universe work.
你有什么能比我宇宙什么能比吸引力法则一旦你控制了你的想法,你不公正的意识
If you believe that you must work hard in order to deserve the money that comes to you, then money cannot come to you unless you do work hard. But the money that comes in response to physical action is very small in comparison with what comes through alignment of thought. Surely you have noticed the enormous disparity between some people who apply tremendous action for little return while you see others seemingly offering very little action for an enormous return. We want you to understand that the disparity exists only in the comparison of the action they are offering—but there is no disparity or injustice relative to the alignment of Energies within them.
如果你相信你必须努力工作,确信你已经注意到巨大的不平等,一些人努力工作,却收获甚微,而另一些人表面上工作很少,却拥有巨大的回报。我们想让你们理解不同仅存在于他们提供行为的
Financial success, or any other kind of success, does not require hard work or action, but it does require alignment of thought. You simply cannot offer negative thought about things that you desire and then make up for it with action or hard work. When you learn to direct your own thoughts, you will discover the true leverage of Energy alignment.
财富上的成功或别的成功,不需要艰苦的工作或行动,但是它需要思想上的密切配合。你不能在你渴望的事情上抱有消极的思想,且用艰苦的工作或行动来补救。当你学会管理你自己的思想时,你将发现能量配合的(巨大)真实的杠杆力量。
Most of you are much closer to a financial fortune than you are even allowing yourself to purely desire, because, in the thought that it might come, you right away begin thinking of how disappointed you will be if it does not come in. And so, in your lackful thought, you do not allow yourself to desire or to expect anything magnificent in terms of money; and that is the reason why, for the most part, you are living rather mediocre financial experiences.
你们中的绝大多数人比你们允许你们自己渴望更接近于财富。因为你可能想你会是多么失望,如果它没有。并且,在你缺乏的想象中,你不允许你自渴望或期待金钱。那是为什么绝大多数人只有平庸的财务体验的原因。
You are right when you think, Money isn’t everything. You certainly do not need money to have joy in your experience. But in your society—where so much of what you live is tied to money in some way—most of you associate money with freedom. And since freedom is a basic tenet of your Being, then coming into alignment with money will help you establish a balanced footing that will be of value to you in all other aspects of your experience.
你认为金钱不是一切,你是对的。在你的个人体验里你确实不总需要钱来获得快乐。但是在你的社会里--在某些方面,你的大部分生活与钱息息相关--你们大部分会把钱与自由联系在一起。既然自由是你们存在的基础,那么与金钱保持一致会帮助你建立一个平衡的基础点,这样对你在人生中所有其他的方面都很有价值。
