第七辑 心灵能量层级 Volume 7: Energy Levels in Spiritual Practice
作为人，生命中最重要的事情是什么？
As humans, what is the most important thing in life?
在你的生命中，你会看到，有些部分会处在不同的层次上，
In your life, you will see that different aspects of you may be at different levels.
这个能量态不是指一个方面，它是多方面综合起来的。你的慈悲的能量、智慧的能量、勇气的能量，还有善良的能量，看你在哪个级别上了。
This energy state doesn't refer to just one aspect, but is a combination of multiple aspects. Your energy of compassion, wisdom, courage, and kindness collectively determine the level you are at.
但你应该能够确认自己当下的整体层次或平均层次大概处于哪个范围。比如，你可能整体上处在勇气的层次（就是敢作敢为的），但还掺杂了各种欲望的层次，
However, you should be able to roughly identify your current overall or average energy level. For instance, overall, you might be at the level of courage (that is, being bold and daring), but also mixed with the level of various desires.
人都是掺和的，如果你的某一方面的欲望多，就会拉扯你，影响你的提升。你某一方面的负能量比较大，你要特别地注意去修持这一方面，不要让它拉扯你，使你整体的水平上不去，我们能量层次是多方面的。
Everyone is a combination of different aspects. If you have a strong desire in a certain area, it will drag you down. If you have strong negative energy in a certain area, you should pay special attention to cultivating that area. Don't let it drag you down and prevent your overall level from rising, as our energy levels encompass multiple aspects.
自身的较低层次会拖累其余部分，同时你也会发现自身某些方面处于较高的层次。你也许处在接纳层次（就是愿意去接受正能量的），而读到了一本理性、智慧层次的书，并感到鼓舞。
The areas where your energy levels are low will drag you down, and meanwhile, you will also find that some aspects of yourself are at higher levels. You might be at the level of acceptance (that is, willing to accept positive energy), and feel inspired after reading a book at the level of reason and wisdom.
虚心看看这些境界，看看它是否能引出你更深的洞察力。那也许能帮你完成生命中的下一次飞跃。
Humbly look at these states, and see if they can lead you to a deeper insight, which may help you achieve the next leap in your life.
所以说我们作为一个修行人，最基本的能量态，就是一个勇气的能量态，还有一个是接纳的能量态——你有勇气去接纳这个正能量的东西。
Therefore, as spiritual practitioners, our most fundamental energy states are the state of courage and the state of acceptance — having the courage to accept positive energy.
很多人是屏蔽的，你跟他讲他是拒绝的。因为他有自己强烈的观念、执著、自私的心态，他不接纳，他拒绝接纳。
Many people choose to block; when you talk to them, they reject it. Because they have their own strong beliefs, attachments, and selfishness, they refuse to accept.
首先你要有接纳啊，你不接纳就永远没有提升。有些人非常自以为是，屏蔽，完全屏蔽这些他不想接受的好的东西，他不想接受就屏蔽，这是一种非常糟糕的心态。
First, you need to be receptive; otherwise, you can never elevate. Some people are very self-righteous and completely block out the things they don't want to accept, even if those things are beneficial. They shield themselves from anything they don't want to accept. This is a terrible attitude.
这种人不容易改变，但是他也不容易降下去，他就处在一个比如250或者200的水平，很稳定，这种就是非常固执的人，知见特别重的人，他不容易改变。既不容易降，又不容易升。这种人很可怜，几乎没有办法飞跃了。
It's not easy for such people to change, yet they don't easily decline as well. They tend to remain stable at around 200 to 250, for instance. Such people are very stubborn, opinionated, and resistant to change. It's not easy for them to decline or elevate. They are pathetic, as there's almost no way for them to make a leap.
有些修行人他在修行之前非常糟糕，降得很快，因为他什么都接纳。但是他遇到了正法，提升得也很快，极速提升。这种接纳的心态，容易改变，有勇气、胆子大，也愿意接纳新生的事物，这样的人也容易造业。
Before taking the spiritual journey, some practitioners used to be terrible and declined rapidly, because they were open to anything. However, after encountering the authentic Dharma, they also elevate rapidly. Individuals with such a receptive attitude are more prone to change. They are courageous, fearless, and willing to accept new things. However, they are also prone to committing negative karma.
有很多修行人在修行之前造很多的业，非常糟糕，比普通人还要糟糕，这样的人也有的。但是他遇到正法之后，一下子就提升上来了，快速地改变，这样的人也很多。
Before engaging in spiritual practice, many practitioners had accumulated a lot of negative karma, even worse than ordinary people. Such cases do exist. However, after encountering the authentic Dharma, they quickly elevate and transform. There are also many such cases.
只要是你自己选择的，没有哪种心灵境界会有对错之分（没有什么绝对的对错），只有能量高低的区分。努力不要让你的自我被钉上某个境界的标签。就是不要把自己固化，不要自以为是。
As long as it is your own choice, there's no right or wrong in regard to spiritual state (there's no absolute right or wrong), but only a difference in energy levels. Don't label yourself with any specific state. That is, don't limit yourself and don't assume you are always right.
