事件是如何形成的

How Events Are Formed

心灵，作为一个能量完型的集合体，有着特定的心理身份，它不断将其他有类似倾向的能量吸引过来，以探索意义并了解自己。物质的显化是一种探索手段：我们在“外面”看到的，是每个时间点上，在物质形式下心灵内容的更新版本，在化学外衣下心理的特征。

The psyche, as a conglomeration of energy gestalts having a particular psychological identity, continually attracts to it other similarly inclined energy in order to explore meaning and know itself. Physical manifestation is one means of exploration: What we see “out there” is at every point in time an updated version of the contents of the psyche in materialized form, its psychological characteristics clothed in chemicals.

就好像我们的一部分（内我）踏上了进入心理深处持续不断的旅程，一边把新的想法和纪念品寄回给我们的另一部分（自我）。由于对“经验的原材料”涉猎极深，我们了解到“一切万有”的力量与活力，了解到创造所有“实相”的意义世界；我们在时间中回顾与展望个体的自己以及各种文明，让自己参与其他意识所知所做的事情，了解所有的可能性及其含义。在这个旅程中，在任何“点”上我们都不会失去我们的个性感，失去我们自己“坚不可摧的有效性”，却是以它作为“诱饵”，吸引（并被引向）适合我们本体身份的各种可能事件（各种意义、原始经验）。

It’s as if part of us (the inner self) were on a continual journey into the psychological depths, sending back to another part of us (the ego) new ideas and mementos. Ranging far and deep into “the raw material of experience,” we know the power and vitality of All That Is, the universe of meaning from which all “reality” is created, looking back and forward in time at our individual selves, at civilizations, involving ourselves in what other consciousnesses know and do, understanding all probabilities and their implications. At no “point” in this journey do we lose our sense of individuality, of our own “indestructible validity,” but use it as “bait” to attract to us (and be attracted to) probable events (significances, raw experiences) appropriate to our identity.

细胞意识走一条平行的旅程，感知非物质领域中与生化反应有关的所有可能性，以及在所有可能的情况下（例如不同信念的影响下）肉体生存所需的一切。赛斯称我们所走的这些旅程为“梦前”状态。

Cellular consciousness takes a parallel journey, perceiving all probabilities in the nonphysical realm concerned with biochemical reactions and whatever is necessary for physical survival of the body under all possible circumstances (such as the effects of different beliefs). Seth calls these journeys we take the “predream” state.

梦前事件当然与时空事件在完全不同的“波长”上。因此，当它们“接近”时空时，它们会逐渐在梦境中改变波长，而从我们的角度看，资料变得比在“更高”层面的那些更具体。在这个过程中，很多在较低层面上无法察觉的事件就会消失。

Predream events are of course on an entirely different “wavelength” from space-time events. And so, as they “approach” space-time, they gradually shift wavelengths in the dream state, the data, from our perspective, becoming more specific than those on “higher” levels. During this process those many events that cannot be perceived on a lower level fall away.

在这个点上，自我意识介入了。内我与自我在梦境相遇，在那里每个人的意识部分重叠了，使他们能够运用每个意识的元素更直接地交流。内我“心智”中的可能事件在自我的“心智”中被体验。事件仍然没有实质形状——它们没有被“看到”或“听到”。

At this point ego consciousness becomes involved. The inner self meets with the ego in the dream state, where portions of the consciousness of each overlap, enabling them to communicate more directly using elements of each consciousness. The probable events in the “mind” of the inner self are experienced in the “mind” of the ego. The events still have no physical shape—they are not “seen” or “heard.”

根据“重要意义”，自我的当前欲望、意图和信念在体内进行化学编码。在梦境里，自我和内我聚焦于与这些重要意义多少对应的可能事件，在梦体中触发了化学反应，梦体“排练”这些事件，以便当它们在内部产生共振时，自我可以了解在时空中体验它们是什么感觉。当我们记住了梦时，我们记住的是这些“扭曲”的事件。在大多数情况下，可能事件就止步于此了，因为在这个阶段，醒时的冲突被解决了，不需要再让这些事件变成现实。我们选择去实现的事件相对很少。

The present desires, intentions, and beliefs of the ego are chemically coded within the body according to “significance.” When in the dream state the ego and inner self focus on probable events that to some extent match these significances, chemical reactions are triggered in the dreaming body, which “runs through” these events so that, as they resonate within, the ego can get an idea of what it would be like to experience them in space-time. When we remember our dreams, it is these “distorted” events we remember. In most cases probable events get no further than this, as waking conflicts are worked out at this stage, leaving no need to actualize the events. We choose to actualize relatively few.

某些事件完全符合我们的期望。我们被它们强烈的“感知意义”深深吸引。我们强烈的焦点使得事件产生更强烈的共振，引发身体感官的更多反应，而感官将仍然很大的心理数据处理成代码，这些代码将决定时空中事件的性质。（也就是说，一个“可能事件”也许在时空中显现为声音、物体或事件。）这可能是这个过程中最具创造性的部分，想象力在其中起着关键作用。

Certain events mesh totally with our expectations. We are highly attracted to their strong “felt significance.” Our intense focus causes the events to resonate more strongly, triggering more reactions in the body’s sensory apparatus, which processes the still largely psychological data into codes that will determine the nature of the events in space-time. (That is, a “probable event” might appear in space-time as a sound, an object, or a happening.) This is perhaps the most creative part of the process, with imagination playing a key role.

在好几本书中，赛斯都提到了EE（电磁能量）单位，那是“意识无形的呼吸”，是形成物质的基础。 EE单位使（现在在体内被明确编码的）事件最终成形，这样它们就可以进入时空，在那里自我会用感官将它们体验成“外在”的而非“内在”的。要激活EE单位仍需更多的情感强度。正是意识强烈的情感能量孕育出了任何实相（就像在初始时所做的那样）。所谓情感强度，赛斯并不是指在自我这方面，强烈的有意识欲望或强烈的意愿及努力，而是指一种意义的积累，创造一个强大的感觉共鸣场，直到……大爆炸。这无疑在我们存在的每一微秒都在发生，当我们不断“实现我们的梦”时。

In several books, Seth mentions EE (electromagnetic energy) units, the “invisible breath of consciousness” that underlies matter. EE units give final shape to the events (now specifically coded within the body) so that they can break into space-time, where the ego will experience them with its senses as “out there” rather than “in here.” For EE units to be activated requires yet more emotional intensity. It is the strong feeling energy of consciousness that gives birth to any reality (as it did in the Beginning). By emotional intensity, Seth does not mean vehement conscious desire or strong will and effort on the part of the ego, but rather an accumulation of significances, creating a powerfully resonating field of feeling, until . . . the Big Bang. Which of course is happening every microsecond of our existence as we continually “realize our dreams.”
