Time is not helpful.

時間是沒有用的。

In fact, it's a hindrance in your awakening.

事實上，這會阻礙你的覺醒。

Okay, so, no time is required for awakening.

好吧，覺醒不需要時間。

Okay, now let me, the mind says, let me try to figure this out.

好吧，現在讓我來，我的大腦說，讓我試著弄清楚這個問題。

That doesn't make sense.

這說不通啊。

Meaning I've been meditating for nothing all these years.

也就是說，這些年來我一直在白白冥想。

Meditation, if it works as it should, ultimately the purpose is, the aim is, to be present while you meditate.

冥想，如果它能發揮其應有的作用，最終的目的就是，在冥想的時候要當下。

Not to seek some future condition.

而不是為了尋求某種未來的條件。

This is a fundamental mistake that meditators make, is they imagine a future condition that they want to arrive at or achieve, and they think, if I just practice more and harder, I will eventually achieve that awakened state.

這是冥想者常犯的一個基本錯誤，即他們想象自己想要達到或實現的未來狀態，並認為只要我更加努力地練習，最終就會達到那種覺醒的狀態。

And that belief is actually a hindrance, so, because then you are doing a meditation, and if you're doing a meditation, you miss the one thing that is the awakened state, and we could call that being, the realization of being.

而這種信念實際上是一種阻礙，因為你在冥想，而如果你在冥想，你就會錯過一件事，那就是覺醒的狀態，我們可以稱之為 "存在"，對 "存在 "的領悟。

There needs to be a cessation of doing, an end of doing, in order to realize being.

要實現 "存在"，就必須停止 "做"，結束 "做"。

You have the two dimensions in your life, doing, it requires time, and being, that requires no time.

你的生活有兩個維度："做 "和 "存在"。"做 "需要時間，而 "存在 "則不需要時間。

Now, most humans are unaware of being, they are lost in doing.

現在，大多數人都沒有意識到 "存在"，而是迷失在 "做 "中。

And the primordial doing is thinking, and then you miss the now, which is inseparable from being.

而最原始的 "做 "就是思考，這樣你就錯過了與 "存在 "密不可分的 "現在"。

So, I invite you, as we speak, or I speak, or the speaking happens, I don't know who is speaking, somebody is speaking, and invite you here now, to become aware of being, here now, now, how does, some of you may just, as I say these words, which are only pointers, like signposts, as I say these words, some of you may be able to sense their own beingness, you sense that you are, and if you cannot, if you have no idea what I'm talking about yet, you're still trying to understand it mentally, let me take you then gradually into the being, let's become aware of this moment, and the first thing you become aware of in this moment is sense perceptions, visual, auditory, and then some of the others do tactile and so on, but the most predominant sense perceptions are the visual and the auditory, you hear and you see, so this is the, you're becoming aware of the present moment, which taken the form of sensory perception, here now, and you look around the room, or you see this person, so-called person sitting on a chair, and you can take in the totality of the room, question that arises is, are you able to take in the totality of your sense perceptions at this moment, without any mental commentary, just be like a, maybe like a one year old child hasn't learned the language yet, and just looks in wonder and amazement at the world, you don't have to look like that, I'm just, so you look around at the innocent perception without, is it possible for you, only you can answer that for yourself, but not through words, through just knowing, are you able to be here in this moment, allow your sense perceptions to be there, being aware of all these things, without commenting mentally, without interpretation, just let it be, like the Beatles song, let it be, now that's a, there's a shift in consciousness that's already happened, because when you interpret your sense perceptions, that's a conditioning of your mind, it's a person perceiving things, when you don't interpret, there's still a knowing there, but not conceptual, there's a deeper knowing, but the person isn't there really, at that moment when you're not commenting, not interpreting, not imposing some kind of interpretation on the world, then the person that was there before, when you were commenting, has been replaced by awareness, presence, so there was a person, but then the person comes to an end temporarily, and they simply, who or what is perceiving this room when you are not commenting according to the conditioning of your past, who or what is perceiving this, awareness itself, so something has, something has receded, the person, and something else has arisen to replace it, so to speak, awareness, that awareness is very still, stillness is a sometimes, in spiritual discourse, stillness is another important term, it's just another pointer, it's stillness, so and that stillness is not a from being a conditioned entity, conditioned by the past, and now the shift has happened, and suddenly just, you are that space of awareness, and so the next step in presence, you're not just, yes, you are aware of your sense perceptions, and you're not labeling, but you're also aware of the awareness itself, through which you are able to be aware of sense perceptions, you're aware of your, let's say, words are very limited, but we have to use them, you're aware of the being of yourself, the presence that makes sense perceptions possible, the presence of consciousness that makes sense perceptions possible, and you can sense that, not as a subject-object relationship, although when we talk about it, it sounds like a subject-object relationship, because language operates in that way, language has a subject and an object, so unless you use language, you say, I am aware of awareness, that creates a duality that's not really there, when you talk about it, there's an I that is aware of awareness, so there's two of you, but there isn't, it's only when you start talking about it, it's, you become aware of yourself as awareness itself, awareness becomes the self-aware, whatever you want to call it, but that is an amazing thing, that you are able to enter that, even if it's just for brief moments, for brief moments, you can become free of the person, oh my God, that heaviness, that burden that people carry around, that they are so identified with, that they are that heaviness, and that's why many persons, their identity is intimately bound up with their, this burden of problems, that they have to figure out how to solve my life problems, so for many people, their identities, I am a problem to be solved, that's seeking a solution, and then you go to a therapist, however, if the therapist is present, that makes a huge difference, and I don't know, I'm sure there are some therapists here, and some of you are probably doing fantastic work, because you are able to, even though your client or patient is talking, perhaps you are able to be present while you listen, instead of interpreting everything, but be the consciousness.

所以，我邀請你們，在我們說話的時候，或者我說話的時候，或者有人說話的時候，我不知道是誰在說話，總之有人在說話，邀請你們現在就在這裡，覺知到自己的存在，現在就在這裡，現在就在這裡，你們中的一些人可能只是，當我說這些話的時候，這些話只是指針，就像路標一樣，當我說這些話的時候，你們中的一些人可能只是，當我說這些話的時候，這些話只是指針，就像路標一樣、如果你不能，如果你還不知道我在說什麼，你還在試圖從心理上理解它，那麼讓我帶你逐漸進入存在，讓我們覺察此刻，此刻你首先覺察到的是感官知覺、視覺、聽覺，還有一些觸覺等等

And then, perhaps, some awakening can happen, if you embody presence.

然後，如果你體現出存在感，也許就會發生一些覺醒。

So you, so they, the little, the big secret, it's not a secret, but it seems to be a secret, to be aware that you're conscious, to be aware of yourself as consciousness, as awareness, as presence, to sense the beingness of you, which is not the you, the limited you, it's actually the beingness of the universe in you.

所以，你，所以他們，小祕密，大祕密，這不是祕密，但似乎是祕密，意識到你是有意識的，意識到你自己是有意識的，是覺知的，是存在的，感覺到你的存在，這不是你，是有限的你，它實際上是宇宙在你身上的存在。
