賽斯早期課主要信息(引言)

基本上，每一位第一次參加這「賽斯早期課」討論的朋友，無論他們有沒有接觸過「賽斯資料」、從甚麼途徑和人生的那階段得知、又或者已閱讀了多少時間，我也會問他們這條問題 -- 「賽斯」和「賽斯資料」對他們來說是甚麼？在繼續閱讀之前，請認真的想想這個問題。

The basis and firm groundwork of the material, and its primary contribution, lies in the concept that consciousness itself indeed creates matter, that consciousness is not imprisoned by matter but forms it, and that consciousness is not limited or bound by time or space; time and space in your terms being nessary distortions, or adopted conditions, forming a strata for physical existence.

Once this is understood, all the rest of our material can be seen in the light of both logic and intuition. It is, indeed, time that suck a book be complied, and I do suggest that when it is complied you ask Mr. Wollheim to write an introduction. We will go into this more thoroughly as we progress.

The basic idea of the material should be stressed, however, and strongly, since it is from this that our other concepts emerge. The mechanism by which psychic energy or consciousness forms matter should also be included, and naturally the concept that matter does not have duration.

The difference between value fulfillment and growth, the fifth dimension, and the expanding universe portions should also be stressed. When man realizes that he himself creates his personal and universal environment in concrete terms, then he can begin to create a private and universal envronment much superior to the one that is the result of haphazard and unenlightened constructions.

This is our main message to the word, and this is the next line in man's conceptual development, which will make itself felt in all fields, and in psychicatry perhaps as much as any.

When man realizes that he creates his own image now, he will not find it so startling to believe that he creates other images in other times. Only after such a basis will idea of reincarnation achieve its natural validity, and only when it is understood that the subconscious, certain layers of it, is a link between the present personality and tpast ones, will the theory of reincarnation be accepted as fact.

I have been prepare to give you this present information but a suitable opportunity did not seem to present itself. And I do feel a responsibilty in helping you prepare a book from material.

以上是早期課內的節錄。

Harry Potter -- Mirror of Erised

On Mirror of Erised inscribed 'erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi ', which is 'I show not your face but your heart's desire'. The fullfilled person standing in front of the Mirror of Erised only see himself and nothing else!

Inception 潛行凶間 (2) -- Impossible Staircase, are you inside my dream?

在「潛行凶間」這套電影裏，除了潛意識、夢和信念之外，還有一些值得討論的地方。今次我想和各位題及的是在片中出現了的「Impossible Staircase」。左圖是已故的荷蘭畫家M.C. Escher名為Ascending and Descending的作品，當我們嘗試跟蹤在樓梯上走動的人時，便會發覺到在樓梯上走動的人將會永無止竟的在樓梯上"向上行"或"向下行"，永遠也走不出這個迴圈。

(1)
但是在二次元的平面世界裏是不存在着上、下、高、低的。那所謂的"向上行"或"向下行"又是甚麼意思呢？

(2)
試想如果你是透過我的眼或我的夢去接收到你是在圖中的其中一人，而你所覺知到的就是這個畫面，你會怎樣？

而直至到你意識到你並不是所你是在圖中的其中一人，和不再透過我的眼或我的夢去接收景象，你又會怎樣？

(3)
假設你站的立場是由圖中不在樓梯的人去看在樓梯行走的人，你會看到甚麼呢？

假設你站的立場是由圖中在樓梯行走的人去看不在樓梯的人，你又會看到甚麼呢？

在電影中的一幕，當夢中的人發現不遵守夢中遊戲規則的人時，他們會如同白血球般去消滅身體中外來的東西。在現實生活中，你又有沒有發現類似的情形呢？

The meaning of "education"

Many people make a mistake and do not understand the real meaning of the word "education". That word is drived from the Latin word "educo", meaning to educe, to draw out, to develop from within.

An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others.

-- excerpt of Think and Grow Rich - Chapter 5, Napoleon Hill

視覺上的錯覺 -- 深度

我們對空間、距離、物件的太小究竟知道多少呢？我們對所看到的和所知道的又有多少是能夠確定的呢？我們對視覺和其它感官又知道多少呢？

這幅圖是運用了一些基礎的繪畫技巧去表達3D的深度。在圖中的兩條畫上深黑色的垂直線的長度是相同的，不相信的話可以用間尺量度。

現在運用你的想像力，假設這幅畫是你現在所處的房間的簡化版本，而你正在這畫之內，你是否依然能夠確定你所看到的物件和你現在的位置？

以上的圖畫可能略為簡陋，那麼讓我們看看由藝術家精心設計的構圖所達至的效果。



如果現點是移動着的話，又會有甚麼情况發生呢？



現在你有沒有開始懷疑自己以為是必然事物呢？
