Only you can limit your creative power, but God wills to release it.
神は自ら創造したものを自身から奪おうとなどしないし、
He no more wills you to deprive yourself of your creations than he wills to deprive himself of his.
自分が授かった物を御子としての身分にある者たちに与えずにおく
Do not withhold your gifts to the Sonship, or you withhold yourself from God!
自分本位でいるのは自我のすがただが、
Selfishness is of the ego, but Self-fullness is of spirit because that is how God created it.
聖霊は自我とスピリット(=魂本来としてのあなた)
The Holy Spirit is in the part of the mind that lies between the ego and the spirit, mediating between them always in favor of the spirit.
自我にしてみればこれはえこひいきであり、
To the ego this is partiality, and it responds as if it were being sided against.
スピリット(=魂本来としてのあなた)にとってはこれが真理。
To spirit this is truth, because it knows its fullness and cannot conceive of any part from which it is excluded.
スピリット(=魂本来としてのあなた)
Spirit knows that the awareness of all its brothers is included in its own, as it is included in God.
御子としての身分全体とその創造主との力はしたがってスピリッ
The power of the whole Sonship and of its Creator is therefore spirit's own fullness, rendering its creations equally whole and equal in perfection.
自我は神を含む全一性に勝ることなどできないし、
The ego cannot prevail against a totality that includes God, and any totality must include God.
神が創造したものはことごとくその神の力をすべて授かっている、
Everything he created is given all his power, because it is part of him and shares his being with him.
創造することは失うことと逆であり、同じく祝福は犠牲の逆だ。
Creating is the opposite of loss, as blessing is the opposite of sacrifice.
実在するものは拡張されなければならない。
Being must be extended.
そのようにしてこそ自らの叡智を保持できる。
That is how it retains the knowledge of itself.
スピリット(=魂本来としてのあなた)
Spirit yearns to share its being as its Creator did.
分かち合うことで創造されたので、創造することこそスピリット(
Created by sharing, its will is to create.
それは神を閉じ込めておこうとは思わず、
It does not wish to contain God, but wills to extend his Being.
神の本質を拡張することこそ、スピリット(=
The extension of God's Being is spirit's only function.
それの満たされたすがたは、
Its fullness cannot be contained, any more than can the fullness of its Creator.
満ち満つるすがたこそ拡張である。
Fullness is extension.
自我の全思考体系が拡張をさえぎり、
The ego's whole thought system blocks extension, and thus blocks your only function.
したがってそれがあなたの喜びをもさえぎるので、
It therefore blocks your joy, so that you perceive yourself as unfulfilled.
創造しないでいるとあなたが満たされてないのは確かだが、
Unless you create you are unfulfilled, but God does not know unfulfillment and therefore you must create.
あなたは自分自身の創造するものが分からないかもしれないが、
You may not know your own creations, but this can no more interfere with their reality than your unawareness of your spirit can interfere with its being.
神の国は神の御心のうちに在るので絶えず拡張している。
The Kingdom is forever extending because it is in the Mind of God.
あなたは自分自身の真の自己に満つるすがたというものを知らない
You do not know your joy because you do not know your own Self-fullness.
神の国のどの部分にせよ、
Exclude any part of the Kingdom from yourself and you are not whole.
分裂した心は自らの満たされたすがたを知覚できない。そこでその心は完全なすがたであるということが自らに見えだし、
A split mind cannot perceive its fullness, and needs the miracle of its wholeness to dawn upon it and heal it.
こうしたことがその心を自らの完全なすがたに再び目覚めさせたう
This reawakens the wholeness in it, and restores it to the Kingdom because of its acceptance of wholeness.
心の真の自己に満つるすがたの真価を十二分に認めると、
The full appreciation of the mind's Self-fullness makes selfishness impossible and extension inevitable.
だから神の国にはこのうえない平安がある。
That is why there is perfect peace in the Kingdom.
スピリット(=
Spirit is fulfilling its function, and only complete fulfillment is peace.
あなたが創造したものはあなたのために護られている、
Your creations are protected for you because the Holy Spirit, Who is in your mind, knows of them and can bring them into your awareness whenever you will let him.
そうしたものは自分自身の本質の大切な部分として存在する。そうしたものを含んでこそあなたは充足感をもてるわけであるから
They are there as part of your own being, because your fulfillment includes them.
神の子一人ひとりが創造したものはあなたのものだ、
The creations of every Son of God are yours, since every creation belongs to everyone, being created for the Sonship as a whole.
あなたは神の子たちが継承したものを増やしそこねてはいない。したがって自分自身のためにそうしたものを確保できずにいるわけ
You have not failed to increase the inheritance of the Sons of God, and thus have not failed to secure it for yourself.
そうしたものをあなたに与えることが神の意志であったから、
Since it was the Will of God to give it to you, he gave it forever.
神の意志はあなたがその継承したものを永久に持つことだったの
Since it was his will that you have it forever, he gave you the means for keeping it.
そしてあなたは確かに保ってきた。
And you have done so.
神の意志に従わずにいることに意義があるのは、
Disobeying God's Will is meaningful only to the insane.
実のところそれは不可能なことである。
In truth it is impossible.
あなたの真の自己に満るすがたは、
Your Self-fullness is as boundless as God's.
そのすがたは神のに似て、
Like his, It extends forever and in perfect peace.
そのすがたの輝きはとても強烈なので、
Its radiance is so intense that It creates in perfect joy, and only the whole can be born of Its Wholeness.
あなたは自分の真の身元と、
Be confident that you have never lost your Identity and the extensions which maintain It in wholeness and peace.
奇跡(≒赦しによって単なる自我の投影を現実と錯覚していたのを取り消し、魂本来の見方で『本当の現実を見る』ことに移行すること)はこうした確信の一つの現れ。
Miracles are an expression of this confidence.
そうした奇跡はあなたが自分のきょうだいたちと正しく同一化した
They are reflections of both your proper identification with your brothers, and of your awareness that your identification is maintained by extension.
奇跡は全体的に知覚することを学ぶためのもの。
The miracle is a lesson in total perception.
その学習に全一性をもつものの一部をどれかに含めることで、
By including any part of totality in the lesson, you have included the whole.
