[心靈的呼喚]
回首前塵，也許我們會問一問自己：
我們的人生會有遺憾嗎？
生存就是為了營營役役的工作和吃喝玩樂嗎？
難道生命追求的只是肉體的享受嗎？
甚麼叫做率性而為？
甚麼事情令我感動？
甚麼叫做未曾真正的活過？
為甚麼我們不去選擇一份自己喜歡的工作？
我們還有機會重新再作選擇，重新開始嗎？
有多少人會明白，回歸心靈，降低物欲，
就能夠將謀生、工作和娛樂三者合而為一？
We say about people with passion that
they “lose themselves” in their work.
Which really means, in another sense,
that they find themselves in their work.
( Marvin Bell, 2002 )
When you do things from your soul,
you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
( Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi )
My soul is from elsewhere,
I’m sure of that,
and I intend to end up there.
( Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi )
為何回歸心靈如此重要？
因為心靈蘊藏著我們前生未完成的「學習/使命」、
太遲才懂得回歸心靈就會浪費了這一生人的生命。
What you seek is seeking you.
( Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi )
You wander from room to room
Hunting for the diamond necklace
That is already around your neck！
( Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi )
And you ？ When will you begin
that long journey into yourself ？
( Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi )
當你對「我 ego」覺得不耐煩，
對「我 ego」所選擇的工作和人生道路覺得討厭，甚至憎恨，
你會願意釋放那封閉了的「心靈 soul」，
讓「心靈」重新滋潤，讓「心靈」做領航者，並主持人生大局嗎？
如果不願意放棄舊有的思想和生命，怎可能有新的生命？
如果不願意放棄為別人而活的生命，怎可能有屬於自己的生命？
As soon as a man learns to
feed his soul instead of his ego,
he will be truly successful.
( Mobeen Hakeem )
We must be willing to let go of the life
we planned so as to have the life that is
waiting for us.
( Joseph Campbell )
如果能夠重新開始，我們會找到自己嗎？
我們會否願意停下腳步，靜下來，
把耳朵貼近自己的心靈，嘗試聆聽「心靈的呼喚」嗎？
我們會活得生機勃勃嗎？
Once in a while,
slow down from your fast pace of living
and try to embrace solitude.
In you solitude,
listen to the whispers of your soul, for
compassion always comes from the soul,
from holiness in the heart.
Return to your soul, polish it daily,
let it direct your life so that
you can choose the right path and
do your work with your whole heart.
That is what life is meant to be.
( Jason Ling )
心靈的呼喚 whispers of the soul，
又稱為來自生命深處的呼喚，和一個人屢世的修行有關。
「聆聽心靈的呼喚」，英語又稱為 listen to your heart，
來自一個光復了心靈的人對「抽象/實際/神聖」概念的嚮往，
但由於要同時照顧小我和大我，
神話學大師 Joseph Campbell 用了另一個詞彙 ──
follow your bliss ──來描述「聆聽心靈的呼喚」：
Follow your bliss.
If you do follow your bliss
you put yourself on a kind of track
that has been there all the while,
waiting for you, and
the life that you ought to be living
is the one you are living.
When you can see that,
you begin to meet people
who are in the field of your bliss,
and they open the doors to you.
I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid,
and doors will open where
you didn’t know they were going to be.
( Joseph Campbell )
Follow your bliss
and the universe will open doors for you
where there were only walls.
( Joseph Campbell )
人必須先有「啟蒙/覺醒」enlightenment / awakening，
才會懂得放棄那原先牢不可破的奴隸心態。
問題是對一般人來說，覺醒需要超乎一般人的智慧，
而一般人剛巧就是欠缺了這種智慧，
除此之外，他們又欠缺了內省和自我批判的勇氣，
如果社會上沒有優秀的生命教育來引導青少年，
在他們成年之後要幫助他們覺醒，未免有點強人所難，
所以對一般人來說，覺醒從來都不是一件容易的事。
當我們走到人生的轉捩點，徘徊在十字路口的時候，
我們會聆聽心靈的呼喚嗎？會相信心靈的呼喚、啟示和指導嗎？
當「霧失樓台，月迷津渡，桃源望斷無尋處」的時候，
我們是否知道心靈就是迷霧中的燈塔？
是否知道心靈就是永恆的家，回歸心靈才會有回家的感覺？
很多時「聆聽心靈的呼喚」會產生「啟蒙/覺醒」，
及隨之而來的第六感，包括「直覺」intuition，
「靈感」inspiration 和「創造」creativity！
I believe in intuition and inspiration.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
For knowledge is limited,
whereas imagination embraces the entire world,
stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.
It is, strictly speaking,
a real factor in scientific research.
( Albert Einstein )
At times I feel certain I am right,
while not knowing the reason.
( Albert Einstein )
對於相信有輪迴的人來說，由於人類有前生帶來的智慧，
所以人類的「我 ego」和他的「心靈 soul」會有不同的想法。
所謂「內心」，一向是一個曖昧的詞彙，
因為「內心」可以是指「我 ego」，也可以是指「心靈 soul」。
既愛面子，又堅持自己喜歡真誠的人，
何嘗不會「聆聽內心虛偽的呼喚」？
讓「我 ego」主持人生大局及精於度橋的人，
一定能夠在生活上「發圍」，但他們怎會懂得需要在生命上「發圍」？
希特勒和很多從事製造刁鑽殺人武器的人，
何嘗不會「聆聽內心名、利、權慾望，甚至邪惡的呼喚」？
當我們說「內心」的時候，當然應該是指「心靈 soul」！
前生越有智慧的人，他們「心靈」裡蘊藏累世的智慧，就越豐厚。
這就是為何有人說，如果我們希望找到生命的意義，
就要回歸心靈，聆聽內心的呼喚！
To make the right choices in life,
you have to get in touch with your soul.
To do this, you need to experience solitude,
which most people are afraid of,
because in the silence you hear the truth
and know the solutions.
( Deepak Chopra )
Learn to get in touch with the silence
within yourself, and know that everything
in life has purpose. There are no mistakes,
no coincidences, all events are blessings
given to us to learn from.
( Elisabeth Kubler-Ross )
Intuition is the intelligence of the heart
and the knowledge of the soul. It knows
instantly and constantly what can take
decades of experience for the mind to
logically sort out and understand.
Trust it, and the reason will follow in time.
( Doe Zantamata )
We are not human beings having
a spiritual experience.
We are spiritual beings having
a human experience.
( Teilhard de Chardin )
聆聽「內心的呼喚」，
是前生有相當程度智慧的人才有機會聽到的。
至於累世都不喜歡修行，「心靈」力量弱的人，
即使很專注地傾聽，
亦未必會聽到任何來自內心深處，「心靈」呼喚的聲音。
他們也許只聽到「我 ego 」的呼喚：「錢、錢、錢錢錢」！
甚至唱黨歌時也會唱「錢進，錢進，錢進進」！
換言之，
The heart is always clear about
what it knows and what it doesn’t know.
The heart understands humility.
On the other hand, the ego is proud.
The ego pretends to know what it doesn’t know.
When a person says he wants to follow his heart
he must first make sure that he is talking about
a heart which is not contaminated by his ego.
That is to say, a pure heart.
One can follow his heart and intuition
only after he has found his pure heart！
( Jason Ling )
Gregorian – I’ll Find My Way Home

有一點一定要弄清楚：人類的「潛意識」之中，
既有來自「我 ego」，來自進化殘存的 animal instinct，
亦有來自心靈、來自前生修來的「阿賴耶識」，
蘊藏著屢世努力修來的直覺、洞見、智慧、靈感、良知、使命。
所謂 follow your bliss 當然是指來自心靈的「阿賴耶識」，
繼續執行前生未完成的使命，
所以絕對不等同 follow your animal instinct！
Since conscience resides in your soul,
if you are not sure that you have a soul,
and you never listen to its whispers,
then don’t follow your instinct because you
can only have animal instinct, ego instinct,
group instinct, although they can be regarded
as representing your unique individuality.
( Jason Ling )
廣東人喜歡「威」，喜歡講「威」！但威有很多種。
有「身體 body」的威，有「我 ego」的威，
也有「心靈 soul」的威！
只有已經回歸心靈，行走在追求智慧道路上的人，
明白每晚睡時都清楚自己該天對得住自己的心靈，
就是威！
The wise unearths his soul,
strives to become a better person, and
is able to go to bed each night with
integrity intact and his soul at peace.
個人的人生旅程，到底是走一條「成功之旅」，
還是堅持走一條「心靈之旅」，你能夠早作抉擇嗎？
