The Tightrope Of The Present Moment
现在时刻的钢丝
I am the spirit of infinite love and I greet you in the full
consciousness of the love of Jesus the Christ.
What has the spirit to say to one who gazes upon the seeming
end of one experience and the seeming beginning of a new
experience? The spirit of love says at all times—and we would
emphasize it this day—that each day is the New Year. Each
day is the end of what has been.
当一个人注视着一段经历的终结和新经历的开始时，灵魂对他说了什么？爱的灵魂总是这样说——我们今天特别强调这一点——每一天都是新年。每一天都是过去的终结。
These divisions of dark and light, warmth and cold, joy and
penitence have been formed by the human mind and heart in
response to the unimaginable complexities of the cycles of the
natural world which you enjoy.
这些黑暗与光明、温暖与寒冷、喜悦与悔恨的分隔是人类的思想和心灵对你们所享受的自然世界周期中难以想象的复杂性做出的反应。
Yet we speak with the voice of love. Let this day, then, be to
you all that it truly is: the ending of that which is past, the
release of that which has caused pain and the forgiveness of
that which has caused displacement from love in yourself and
in all whom you meet.
然而，我们以爱的声音说话。愿今天对你来说，成为它真正的意义：过去的终结，痛苦的释放，以及对曾使你和所有遇见的人远离爱的事物的宽恕。
Let this day be a celebration of peace. For within you all that
keeps you from peace is your hard heart condemning the past
and fearing the future. Release those judgments. They have
nothing to do with the spirit and everything to do with those
blockages that keep the seeking heart from the revelation of
comfort and peace.
让这一天成为和平的庆典。因为在你们内心中，一切阻碍你们获得和平的因素，都是你们的冷酷心态对过去的指责和对未来的恐惧。释放这些判断吧。它们与灵魂无关，却与那些阻碍寻求的心灵获得安慰与和平的障碍密切相关。
Know ye that outer peace shall never evolve until enough of
your peoples find peace within. Balance, my children, upon
the tightrope of the present moment in glad and fearless
balance. For in this the spirit is your guide and your balance.
We ask you to trust, not in what has been, not in what shall
be, but in the being of all that there is. Bless it and celebrate it
at the present moment.
知道吧，外在的和平永远不会实现，直到你们中有足够的人在内心找到和平。我的孩子们，欢喜且无畏地在现在时刻的钢丝上保持平衡。因为在这一点上，灵魂是你的引导和你的平衡。我们请求你们信任，不在于过去，也不在于未来，而在于所有存在的本质。祝福它，并在此刻庆祝它。
Now may you in this day truly rejoice.
愿你今天真正地欢庆。
We leave you in the peace of the infinite cycles of time, space
and spirit, now and ever. Amen.
愿你在无限时间、空间和灵魂的和平中，现在及永远。Amen。
