注意力与秩序 讲话三 ——MUTE译

What a lot of people, aren't there!
来的人可真多,不是吗!

I suppose we are really concerned...
我想我们是真的关心...

...with what we are talking about...
...
我们将要讨论的这些事情...

...and that's why you are here.
...
所以你们来到这里。

This is not, as we have often repeated, an entertainment...
我们一直反复强调,这并非是一场娱乐...

...either intellectual...
...
并非什么智力游戏...

...verbal twistings and innuendoes...
...
文字的周旋或者含沙射影...

...nor some romantic theories and speculations...
...
更不是什么浪漫的理论或者揣测...

...and sentimental nonsense.
...
也不是什么感伤的无稽之谈。

We are dealing with facts.
我们在此考虑的是事实。

As we said, facts are those which have happened...
我们曾经讲过,事实是那些已然发生...

...and that which is happening now - those are facts.
...
以及正在发生的事情,-这些是事实。

And what is happening tomorrow is not a fact...
而明天将要发生的事情并非一个事实...

...or a thousand tomorrows.
...
如此的一千个明天发生的事情都非事实。

We are only dealing with facts.
我们在此只考虑事实。

And if we can understand those facts profoundly...
那么如果我们能够非常深入的理解那些事实...

...not from any particular point of view...
...
不是从某一个特殊的角度来看...

...or a particular bias or direction...
...
不带偏见地看,没有特定指向地看...

...then perhaps we can examine the facts closely...
...
那么或许我们可以做到细致地检查这些事实...

...carefully...
...
一丝不苟地...

...and not only superficially...
...
不但作表层的理解...

...but also profoundly, deeply.
...
更要深入地,深刻地理解它。

As we have been saying during these talks...
正如我们在讲话里一直在说的...

...we are taking a journey together, you and the speaker...
...
我们将共同踏上这段旅程,你和讲话者...

...a very long, wide journey...
...
这将是一段漫长,宽广的旅程...

...not into the future, but into the present.
...
它不通向未来,只着眼现在。

The present, as we pointed out, contains all time.
现在,象我们已经指出的,包含了所有的时间。

The present is not only the past...
现在不但是过去一切...

...all the memories, all the incidents...
...
所有的记忆,所有储存在大脑中...

...stored in the brain, recorded...
...
发生过的事件,所有记录下的内容...

...but that past is now also.
...
而且那个过去就是现在。

It is fairly obvious.
这是相当明显的事实。

And the future is what is now.
而且未来即是现在。

The future will be exactly...
未来将完完全全...

...perhaps slightly modified...
...
或许有些微的调整...

...is in the present, in the now.
...
就是现在的样子,是此刻的样子。

So what one is now...
那么,一个人现在的样子...

...one will be tomorrow, a thousand tomorrows.
...
也会是他明天的样子,也会是他一千个明天的样子。

And if there is no fundamental radical psychological revolution...
那么如果没有一场根本的,颠覆性的心理革命...

...not evolution...
...
不是一场进化...

...a revolution...
...
而是一场革命...

...a mutation, deep fundamental change...
...
一场突变,深刻彻底的改变...

...tomorrow will be exactly what we are now.
...
明天将保持一成不变,和现在完全一样。

So all time, the past, the present and the future...
所以,所有的时间,过去,现在和未来...

...is contained in the now.
...
都包含于此刻。

This is not a theory, not a speculative...
这并非一个理论,并非什么推理...

...philosophical concept, but an actuality.
...
并非哲学概念,而是事实的本来面目。

If one looks at oneself very carefully...
如果一个人能够非常仔细地观看自身...

...what is happening...
...
究竟正在发生什么...

...what is happening now is what we have carried...
...
现在正在发生的就是我们所背负的...

...through thousands and thousands of years...
...
经过上千年的时间...

...psychologically, and both biologically also.
...
在心理上背负的,同时也是在生理上背负的。

And that burden of the past...
这个来自过往的重担...

...with all its memories, experiences, knowledge...
...
它承载着所有的记忆,所有的经验和知识...

...is now, is what we are now.
...
它就是现在,就是我们当下这一刻的全部。

And we will be tomorrow what we are now.
并且明天的我们仍会是我们今天的样子。

So, please, the now contains all time.
所以,请你们注意,现在包含了一切时间。

And in relation to that, what is action?
那么与此相关的,什么是行动?

And it is a fact that all time...
如果我们已经认清这个事实,所有的时间...

...is in the now, in the present...
...
都存在于现在这一刻,存在于当下...

...what then is action?
...
那么什么是行动?

You understand? Can we go along with this for a while?
你们能理解吗?我们是否应该继续讨论一下这个话题?

Please, we are investigating together...
请你明白,我们是在共同探索这个问题...

...the speaker is not instructing or informing.
...
讲话者并非在教导或者告知。

We are together, you and the speaker are investigating...
我们一起,你和讲话者共同来探索...

...exploring, examining, not analysing.
...
深入的探究,检查,而并非分析。

There is a difference between analysis and perception.
分析和觉察是不同的。

Analysis implies an analyser...
分析意味着会存在一个分析者...

...the analyser is the past...
...
那个分析者即是过去...

...and he is examining the present, what is happening now.
...
而他却在检查现在,检视现在正在发生的事情。

What is happening now...
正在发生的一切...

...or what is psychologically taking place...
...
或者说在心理上正在发生的一切...

...is what the observer has been, or is.
...
就是观察者已然成为的样子,或者说是观察者现在的样子。

Are we together in this?
我们都能理解这一点吗?

The observer, the analyser...
观察者,分析者...

...is the result of a great many...
...
是许多的,积累下的...

...accumulations of information, knowledge, incidents, experiences...
...
信息,知识,事件和经验的结果...

...so the analyser is examining that which is happening now...
...
所以这样的分析者在检视,现在发生的一切...

...or examining that which has happened. Right?
...
或者说,检查究竟发生了什么。是这样吗?

So the analyser is the analysed, which is the present.
所以说,分析者即被分析之物,即现在的一切。

Am I talking to myself...
我在自言自语吗...

...or are we somewhat together in this matter?
...
或者我们或多或少地在共同讨论这个问题?

I think this is rather an important question to understand...
我认为,理解这个问题至关重要...

...because when we divide the analyser...
...
因为当我们分离出一个分析者...

...as something separate from the analysed...
...
将他与被分析之物分离开...

...then in that process of division...
...
那么在这个分离的过程中...

...there is contradiction, there is conflict...
...
就会存在矛盾,就会存在冲突...

...either there is suppression...
...
这或者是一种抑制的活动...

...or examination as something outside.
...
再或者仿佛是从外部对所分析之物进行检视。

But the analyser is the analysed.
但是,分析者即被分析之物。

When one is violent, when there is violence...
当一个人充满了暴力,当暴力存在...

...and you analyse violence...
...
然后你分析这暴力...

...one can very easily analyse violence...
...
分析暴力是非常简单的事情...

...from the distant cousins, the apes...
...
作为远房的表兄妹去分析,人类从人猿...

...until now...
...
直到今天...

...we have inherited all the violence...
...
我们已经继承了所有的暴力...

...of all the thousand years of continuity of violence, and so on.
...
千年以来无休无止的暴力,等等。

We can easily examine and analyse violence.
我们很容易就可以检查和分析暴力。

Is violence different from the examiner, the analyser?
暴力本身与检查者,分析者有别吗?

Is not the analyser also part of that violence? Right?
难道分析者不正是这暴力的一部分吗?对不对?

So the analyser is the analysed...
所以说,分析者即被分析之物...

...it is not something separate from the analyser...
...
被分析之物与分析者是不分的...

...therefore there is no division...
...
因此分别是不存在的...

...between the analysis and the analyser, they are one.
...
被分析之物与分析者不二,两者本为一物。

And when we understand that...
那么当我们理解这一点...

...conflict exists only when there is division...
...
只有当分别存在时,冲突才会存在...

...division between your ambition and somebody else's ambition...
...
你的野心与其他人的野心之间的分别...

...division between you and your wife, your husband...
...
你和你的妻子之间的分别,和丈夫间的分别...

...your neighbour and so on, division brought about...
...
和邻居间的分别,等等,分别贯穿于...

...through nationalities, through religions and so on...
...
国家之间,宗教之间,等等...

...not only psychologically but linguistically also, and so on.
...
这种分别不但是心理上的,同时也是语言上的,等等。

So the analyser is the analysed, and so we said...
所以,分析者即被分析之物,正如我们刚才说的...

...we are not analysing...
...
我们并非在分析...

...we are perceiving directly.
...
我们直接地看到。

Is this somewhat clear for us, can we go on from there?
这听起来清晰吗?我们可以就此继续吗?

I wish one could talk this over together quite simply...
我希望我们能够共同,非常简单地来探讨...

...not you sitting there and the speaker sitting on a platform...
...
而不是你坐在那里,讲话者坐在讲坛上...

...but two friends looking at the whole problem of existence...
...
而是两个朋友共同面对生存的问题...

...amicably, in a sense of affection and care...
...
以友善的态度,带着爱和关注...

...looking at all this travail of man, the travail of each one...
...
面对人类的所有的艰辛,面对每一个人的艰辛...

...it would be very simple to do that, have a good dialogue.
...
这样做会非常简单,我们进行一场很好的对话。

But when there are so many people here...
但是当这里有如此之多的人...

...that is not possible, unfortunately.
...
很可惜,这样的对话是不可能的。

But you as a person and the speaker...
但是作为你个人,你和这个讲话者...

...can think together...
...
能够共同来思考...

...not along any particular line...
...
不是遵循某一线路...

...or a particular point of view...
...
不是心怀某一种观点...

...or strengthen one's own opinion which becomes obstinacy...
...
也不是固执地强调某个人自己的观点...

...but rather as two friends...
...
而是作为两个朋友...

...who have known each other for some time...
...
已经彼此了解了一段时间了...

...not only understand the verbal significance but go beyond the words.
...
不仅仅了解话语的重要性,而且能够超越语言。

If we could do that together...
如果我们可以一起这样做...

...then perception becomes very easy, to perceive.
...
那么觉察将是很简单的事情,一起去觉察。

Not I perceive and the speaker is persuading you...
并非我来觉察,讲话者在说服你...

...to perceive in a particular way, to perceive.
...
以某一种特别的方式去觉察。

In that perception...
在那样的觉察中...

...you and the speaker disappear...
...
你和讲话者都消失了...

...because we are only perceiving...
...
因为我们只是单纯地在觉察...

...but when there is a motive for that perception, a direction...
...
但是如果一个动机在觉察中升起,一种方向出现...

...a sense of bigotry, obstinacy...
...
一种偏执,固执感出现...

...then perception is distorted...
...
那么觉察就被扭曲了...

...therefore you perceive differently from another.
...
因此你就会产生与别人不同的觉察。

I hope this is clear.
我希望这是清楚的。

So we are asking, when all time...
所以我们询问,当所有的时间...

...is in the present, now, which is a fact...
...
都存在于现在这一刻,这一点是事实...

...not an abstraction or an ideology...
...

...and perhaps, which is part of life, of our daily life - death...
...
或许还有我们生活的一部分,日常生活的一部分-死亡...

...death not as a morbid incident...
...
死亡并非什么恐怖的事件...

...
如果现在没有一个根本性的改变...

It is simple enough.
这是足够简单的事实。

...
让时间来干涉行动的危险...

...what is stability...
...
什么是稳定...

...a sense of firmness...

...
所以那将不是一个缺乏信心,随时摇摆不定的大脑...

...as most brains are. Right?
...
众人往往拥有那样的大脑。是不是?

So we must examine if there is any security at all...
所以我们必须来检视究竟是否存在着安全...

...psychologically.
...
心理上的安全。

Of course we must have security physically...

...which is becoming more and more difficult for economic reasons...

...
因为每个团体,每个社会...

...each nation thinks...
...
每个国家都认为...

他们是独立于世界的其他部分而存在的。

Therefore the economic situation...
因此,经济的形势...

遍布全球的每一个人...

...desires to be secure...
...

...
存在宗教派别间的界分...

如马克思,恩格斯,列宁和斯大林保持一种立场...

...and on the other side Democratic, and so on.
...
民主主义者又保持另一种立场,等等的这一切。

I know you will get bored with this...
我知道你会觉得这些非常无聊...

...we are going to have more and more wars...
...
我们将会面临越来越多的战争...

...economic problems, it is becoming more and more dangerous.

经济上的问题,正变得越来越危险...

It's up to you.
这一切都决定于你。

And all this can end only when you drop your own particular...
所有这一切的结束,只有当你放下你特定的分别想法...

...conditioning as an American, Russian, Indian...
...
不再局限于是否一个美国人,或者俄国人,印度人...

...French and British and so on...
...
法国人或者英国人等等...

...so that we are one humanity...
...
那么我们是同一个人类...

...as our consciousness is the rest of humanity.
...
正如我们的意识也是整个人类的意识。

I have gone into that, I won't go into it now.
我们已经探讨过这一点,所以我们现在不再深入进去。

So the brain can only be stable...
所以要想使大脑处在稳定的状态...

...have complete security...
...
拥有完全的安全...

...when we understand the whole process of becoming.
...
就必须理解变成的整个过程。

Becoming implies duality...
变成意味着二元性...

...and where there is duality...
...
只要存在二元性...

...there must be conflict...
...
就必然存在冲突...
