敬畏生命——关于杀生--四柱八字,命理,八字命理,六爻占卜,命理百科-寅午文化

故事的开始是这样

昨天中午，珍正要去画廊上班时，看到很多死掉的椋鸟散落在草坪上。这激怒了她，她打电话报了警。在与两位值班警官交谈之后，她的电话被转给了警长。警长说，她是唯一就此事投诉警方的人，其他打电话来的人都留下了地址，要求警察消灭他们自己地盘上的椋鸟……珍还给报社寄了两首关于这个主题的诗。她寄的第一首诗已经排定刊登。报社的人得知警察枪杀鸟类时相当惊讶。他们说要去查个清楚。

（罗：“警察在周末射杀了美术馆的椋鸟，珍为什么那么生气？她今晚为此写了一首诗，打算寄给报社。”）

鲁柏很生气，这是有充分理由的。虽然在某种程度上，那些被杀死的鸟达到了一个自然的结局，但在情感价值方面，造成这一结局的原因是错误的，而他感觉到了这一点。毋庸置疑，鸟的死亡是不可避免的，但如果是一只猫杀死了一只鸟，它并不需要兼顾人类所关心的那种价值观。

今晚我不想再深入探讨这个问题了。我只想说，在你们的层面上，为了自我保护而杀生，甚至杀死天然的猎物，并不会让你们卷入所谓的“因果报应”，我相信这是我们第一次用这个字眼。

在你们的层面上，没事乱杀生比为了方便而杀生更加严重，或者说，为了杀生而杀生会带来相当可怕的后果，在这种杀生背后的情感或情感价值，往往与杀了什么一样重要。也就是说，在很多情况下，嗜杀的欲望也是一件会带来可怕后果的事，不管杀的是哪种或哪些生物。这涉及到一种非常重要的价值判断。

……

除了自我保护以外，杀生都将付出代价。杀生的观念是错误的观念。比方说，假如你们同意杀鸟，那你们最后也会杀人。你们都将以最实际的方式，学会所有生命的神圣不可侵犯。

（罗：“那我们杀动物为食又怎么说呢？”）

在你们的层面，猎人与猎物系统在这个时代是必要的，但并不会永远如此。有一天，你们将不用为了生存而杀生，而自然的平衡也会自行维持。这个时代来得比你想象的更快。在你们的国家，如果有和平的话，你们在有生之年就会看到这种时代的开始。

（罗：“这包括废除屠宰场吗？”）

当然是包括的。这涉及到你们自己的智能科技，这种科技将有相当足够的能力可以利用合成蛋白质来维持人口。不过，可惜的是，这种科技发展先来，而相应的道德进化却是后到。

尊重所有的生命有一个非常实际的理由，而且，为何人类必须了解某些迄今为止他认为不切实际的事实，也有非常实际的理由。通常，人类一直能做到把自己的道德观念与日常生活事务分开，但这对他来说会越来越难办到。

你们会继续自相残杀，直到你们学会尊重所有的生物为止。再说一次，这并不涉及任何意义上的惩罚，但放任杀生的观念是不分对象的。一旦你们允许自己杀生，就会任何生物都杀。在未来的生活中，这涉及到人种的进一步调整。

……

顺便说一句，鲁柏总感觉自己与每一个生物都有着强烈的连结，而他即使身为一个男人时也从不残忍。他只做过一次基督徒，就在上一世，其他世都是异教徒，但不论是什么信仰方式，总是能让他感觉跟地球很亲近。这当然是他对椋鸟事件有特殊反应的主要原因之一，而这个特质也是过去留下来的。对生命的敬畏是任何拥有生命的人格保有的一种特征。它以一种直接的方式为自己增添了理解和成长的重要元素。对生命的敬畏也使你们能以一种更仁慈、更有益的方式去理解和对待他人。

它将使你们行动起来，帮助他们，而不是指责他们的缺点，因为这些缺点其实可能是他们为了补偿而做的选择。我不希望这节课时间过长，但是对生命的敬畏是如此重要，我要着重强调它，还要强调对生命的敬畏包括所有的生命和人类自己。

——摘译自赛斯《早期课》第一册

暴力总是会被创造性地利用。即使你尝试要破坏，你也无法做到。然而，除此之外，你所施的暴力其实就是施在你自己身上。你是一切万有的一部分——是你知道并体验的所有自然的一部分，是你所知世界的一部分，甚至是你所知道的你并不喜欢的世界的一部分。如果你撕掉一只苍蝇的翅膀，你自己就少了一些。如果你故意或带着恶意踩死一只蚂蚁，那么，就你恶意的程度，你浑然不知地踩在你自己身上。暴力总是会被创造性地利用，但如果你不了解这一点――按你们目前的发展速度，你们并不了解——那么，任何暴力都是针对你自己的暴力。这适用于你们每一个人，因为当你们想到暴力时，你们想到的是恶意或攻击。不管全人类在做什么，都无法真正做出任何破坏——但当人类相信破坏时，那么在这个程度上，他贬低了他的本然，而必须在使用创造力上下更多的功夫。

Violence will always be used creatively. You cannot be destructive even when you try. Beyond that, however, in the meantime the violence that you do, you do to yourself. You are a part of All That Is—of all the nature that you know and experience, of the world that you know, and even a part of the world that you know that you do not like. If you rip off the wing of a fly, you are yourself less. If you purposefully, now, or with malice, step upon an ant, then to the extent of your malice you step upon yourself all unknowing. Violence will always be used creatively, but if you do not understand this—and at your present rate of development you do not—then any violence is violence against yourself. This applies to each of you, for when you think in terms of violence you think in terms of malice or aggression. Despite all man does, he cannot really work any destruction—but while he believes in destruction, then to that extent he minimizes what he is, and must work harder to use creativity.

——Seth

Any idea of a God, no matter how distorted, will triumph, for He exists in everything that you know. And when you kill so much as an ant, so do you kill part of Him in most practical terms. When you kill in thought, you kill indeed.

- Seth

任何关于神的概念，不管多么扭曲，都会取得胜利，因为祂存在于你所知的每件事物里。而当你杀死哪怕是一只蚂蚁时，在最实际的意义上，你也杀死了祂的一部分。当你有杀生的想法时，你的确杀生了。

——赛斯

您的每一份爱，都是我们前行的动力！

SESSION 32

MARCH 4, 1964 9 PM WEDNESDAY

(“Why was Jane so upset about the killing of the starlings at the art gallery by the police over the weekend? She wrote a poem about it tonight, and she's going to send it to the newspaper.”)

Ruburt was upset and for good reason. That is although in one way the birds that were killed were meeting a natural end, the reason behind this end was wrong in terms of emotional value and he sensed this. It goes without saying that a bird’s death is inevitable, but a cat killing a bird does not have to juggle the same sort of values with which man is concerned.

I will not go further into this matter this evening. Suffice it to say that to kill for self-protection or even to kill a natural prey on your plane does not involve you in what we may call for the first time, I believe, karmic consequences.

To kill for nothing more serious than convenience or to kill for the sake of killing involves rather dire consequences on your plane, and the emotion or emotional value behind such killing is often as important as what is killed. That is the lust for killing is also a matter that brings dire consequences regardless of, in many cases, the particular living thing or things that is killed. This involves value judgments of a very important type.

…

Killing except for self-protection will be paid for. The idea of killing is what is at fault. If you agree with the killing of birds for example, you wind up with the killing of men. You will all be taught the sacredness of all life, and in the most practical way.

(“How about our killing animals for food?”)

On your plane the hunter and the prey system is at this time a necessary one but it will not always be this way. A time will come when you will not have to kill in order to exist, and the balance of nature will take care of itself. This time is sooner on the way than you think. In your country, if there is peace, you will see its beginning in your lifetimes.

(“Does this include doing away with slaughterhouses?”)

It most certainly does. This involves your own intellectual technology, which will be quite able to maintain its population with synthetic proteins. However this technological development will come first; unfortunately the corresponding ethical evolution will follow after.

There is a very practical reason for a reverence for all life, and very practical reasons why man must learn certain facts that up to this point he has considered impractical. He has usually managed to separate his ethical conceptions from his daily business life, but this shall be increasingly difficult for him to manage.

Until you learn reverence for all living things you will continue to slaughter each other. Again, this does not involve punishment in any sense of the word, but the idea of killing permissiveness is not discriminating. Once you allow yourselves to kill you will kill any living thing. In future lives this involves the race in further adjustments.

…

Incidentally Ruburt always felt a strong bond with every living thing, and even as a man was not cruel. He was only a Christian once, the last time, and otherwise was paganism but always in ways that enabled him to feel close to the earth. This is of course one of the main reasons for his particular reaction with the starling incident, and this quality has been a saving one in the past.

A reverence for life is a saving characteristic of any personality who has it. It adds of itself important elements of understanding and growth in a direct manner. Reverence for life will also enable you to understand and deal with other human beings in a more kindly and beneficial manner.

It will enable you to act and to help without blaming them for shortcomings, since these shortcomings may actually have been chosen by them for reasons of compensation. I do not want this session to run too long, however the reverence for life is so important that I wanted to underline it, and also to emphasize that it includes all life and man himself.
