你真的想环游世界吗？

摘译自《与赛斯对话》第一册

“我的信念体系中肯定有矛盾，”卡尔若有所思地说，“否则，我不会有这种感觉，但我不知道该怎么办。我两样都想做!”

立刻——而且有点在意料之中——赛斯加入了谈话。

“你为什么会面对自己的信念？”赛斯问卡尔。卡尔两手一抬，一副好脾气的样子。

“如果你真的相信自己是环球浪游者和搭便车旅行者的角色，你就不会有那么多小孩了！”赛斯快活地说。“所以，你有目的地、留心让你自己航行在信念之间，给你自己一个借口去做你想做的事，同时又确保你能安全地抛锚停泊，因为你强烈需要与其他地球生命在一起的那种安全感。而且你相信最好是安全地穿行其间，去感受那些渴望，并在你的信念设定的某些严格界限内满足那些渴望！

“你已经创造了你的实相。你想要自由，却又害怕太自由！你想感受亲密的家庭关系，但又不想那么亲密！所以，你把自己置身于一个有一定操作空间的情境之中，而如何利用你已经创造的空间，也是由你决定。所以，改变你的信念，并意识到在你存在的“局限”中，你拥有自由——在你看来，它们似乎是限制，但限制并不存在，一旦你意识到可以做你想做的事，同时又履行你的义务，那么你就会去做。”

“嗯，可是……”卡尔咕哝说。“那么，什么是义务？”

“你认为义务是什么？”赛斯回答。“我对义务的概念跟你的信念毫无关系！”

卡尔想了一会儿。“义务是一种信念——一种强加的信念，”他最后说，相当敷衍地。

鲁迪，懒洋洋地坐在椅子上，很快补了一句，“‘义务’这个词意味着责任，如果你不去尽那个责任，你最好小心一点！”

“你有自由去做你想做的事，”赛斯回答，“也有自由去实现你对责任的想法。只要你相信你被卡在两个冲突的信念之间，那你就是如此。

“只有当你相信你自己的思维过程是隐藏着的，你自己的价值观和想法是无意识的；只有当你相信很难了解你是什么、你是谁，你才会看不见自己的信念。你对自己的信念，在你有意识的头脑中是相当清楚的，而且能在那里被发现，只要你明白有这种信息是可用的。”

“It must be that I'm faced with a conflict in my belief system,” Carl mused. “Otherwise, I don't think I'd feel this way, but I don't know what to do about it. I want to do both!”

Immediately—and somewhat predictably—Seth entered the conversation.

“Why are you faced with your own beliefs?” Seth asked Carl, who threw up his hands good-naturedly.

“If you really believed in your role as world bum and hitchhiker, you would not have had that many children!” Seth said jovially. “You purposely, therefore, saw to it that you would navigate between your beliefs and give yourself an excuse for doing what you want to do, while making sure that you were securely anchored, because you need strongly those feelings of security with other earthy beings. And you believe that it is better to navigate in between, and to feel those yearnings, and to satisfy them within certain strict boundaries that you have set by your beliefs!

“You have created your reality. You want to be free, but you are afraid of being too free! You want to feel close family ties, but not that close! And so, you set yourself up in a situation in which you have a certain amount of operating space, and it is up to you to take advantage of the space that you have created. Therefore, change your beliefs, and realize that you have freedom within what seems to you to be the limitations of your existence. The limitations do not exist, and as soon as you realize you can do what you want to do, and fulfill your obligations at the same time, then you will do so.”

“Well, but…,” Carl mumbled. “What is an obligation, then?”

“What do you think an obligation is?” Seth answered. “My idea of an obligation has nothing to do with your beliefs!”

Carl thought for a moment. “An obligation is a belief—an imposed belief,” he finally said, rather halfheartedly.

Rudy, from his slouched position in his chair, quickly added, “The word ‘obligation’ implies responsibility, and if you don't fulfill that responsibility, you'd better watch out!”

“You have the freedom to do what you want,” Seth replied, “and also fulfill the ideas you have about responsibility. As long as you believe that you are caught between two conflicting beliefs, then so you are.

“Your beliefs are invisible to you only if you believe that your own thought processes are hidden from you, and that your own values and ideas are unconscious; and if you believe that it is difficult to understand what you are, and who you are. Your beliefs about yourself are quite clear to your conscious mind and can be discovered there, if you only understand that the information is available.”
