赛斯：“你们关于时间和空间的理念是由你们的神经结构所决定的。这种伪装结构是那么精巧地被内在自身所执行和创造以致你必须，而且自然地，将你注意的焦点集中在那些被创造了的物性实在上。” "Time as you experience it is an illusion caused by your own physical senses....The apparent boundaries between past, present and future are only illusions caused by the amount of action you can physically perceive, and so it seems to you that one moment exists and is gone forever, and the next moment comes and like the one before also disappears." “你们所经历的时间是由你们自己的物质感官所引起的一种幻象……那些显然存在于过去、现在和未来之间的界限只是由于你能用感官来觉察的行为总和所引起的幻象，所以在你看来一个瞬间存在而后永远地消失了，下一个瞬间来到就象刚才那个一样而后又消失了。” "Everything in the universe exists at one time simultaneously. The first words ever spoken still ring through the universe, and in your terms, the last words ever spoken have already been said." “宇宙中的每一件事物都同时存在。一句话刚说出几个词，用你们的话来说，就已经对这句话最后几个词已经说出的宇宙产生影响。” "The past, present and future only appear to those who exist within three-dimensional reality. The past exists as a series of electromagnetic connections held in the physical brain and in the nonphysical mind. These electromagnetic connections can be changed." “过去、现在和未来只对那些存在于三维实在者才显然。过去作为一系列的电磁连接被保存于物质的大脑中和非物质的心灵中。这些电磁连接能够被改变。” "The future consists of a series of electromagnetic connections in the mind and brain also. In other words, the past and present are real to the same extent. You take it for granted that present action can change the future, but present actions can also change the past." “未来也以一系列的电磁连接存在于心灵和大脑中。换句话说，过去和现在是同样程度的真实。你们当然地认为现在的行动能够改变将来，但现在的行动也能改变过去。” 
“过去对观察者来说并不比现在更客观或独立地存在。电磁连接多半是由个别的观察者制造的。这种连接能够被改变，而这种改变也并不罕见。这种改变在潜意识的基础上自然地发生。” "The past is seldom what you remember it to be, for you have already rearranged it from the instant of any given event. The past is being constantly recreated by each individual as attitudes and associations change. This is an actual recreation, not a symbolic one. The child is indeed still within the man, but he is not the child that 'was', for even the child within the man constantly changes." “过去很少是你所记得的那样，因为从你给定的任一事件的即刻起已经将它重组了。过去因每个个人的态度和联系改变而不断地被重新创造。这是真实的再创造而非象征性的。孩子确实还在一个成人的里面，但并不是那个曾是的孩子，因为即使那个成人内的孩子也在不断地改变。” "Every action changes every other action. Therefore, every action in your present affects actions you call past. It is possible to react in the past to an event that has not occurred, and to be influenced by your own future." “每一个行为改变着每个其他的行为。所以每一个你现在的行为影响着你所谓过去的行为。在过去对还未发生的事件作出反应，被你自己的未来影响这是可能的” "It is also possible for an individual to react in the past to an event in the future, which in your terms, may never occur." “对一个人来说在过去对一件，用你们的话来说，将永远不会在未来发生的事件作出反应这是可能的。” "Because past, present and future exist simultaneously, there is no reason why you cannot react to an event whether or not it happens to fall within the small field of reality in which you usually observe and participate." “因为过去、现在和将来同时存在，你没有理由不能对一件事作出反应而不管它是否发生在你们通常观察和参与的狭小领域。” 
“在下意识的层面，你对许多还未为你意识所知觉的事件的发生作出反应。这些反应被小心地屏蔽而不为意识所承认。自我发现这种事例令人分心和恼火，而当被迫承认它们的有效性时，会诉诸那些最不相关的理性来解释它们。” "No event is predestined. Any given event can be changed not only before and during but after its occurrence. The individual is hardly at the mercy of past events, for he changes them constantly. He is hardly at the mercy of future events, for he changes these not only before but after their happening. An individuals future actions are not dependent upon a concrete finished past, for such a past never existed." “没有什么事件是预先注定的。任何给定的事件不仅能在其发生前和发生中，而且在其发生后被改变。个人一点儿也不听任于过去事件的摆布，因为他在不断地改变它们。他一点儿也不听任于未来事件的摆布，因为他非但在这之前，而且在此之后改变了它们。一个个人的未来行动并不依赖于一个具体的已经完成了的事件，因为这种过去从来就不曾存在。” "The past is as real as the future, no more or less. There is a part of you that is not locked within physical reality, and that part of you knows that there is only an Eternal Now. The part of you that knows is the whole self, your inner and outer ego (all that you are)." “过去和未来一样真实，一点不多也不少。你有一部分并不被囚禁于物质的实在中，而那部分的你知道只有一个永恒的现在。而知道这的你的那部分就是你的全我，你内在和外在的自我（你的全有）。” |
