Chapter 9 How to Use the Will.
第九章 神奇的意志力
TO set about getting rich in a scientific way, you do not try to apply your will power to anything outside of yourself.
要想通过科学的方法致富,首先,你应当明白,自己的意志力从来都不应该应用到除你以外的任何人或事情上。
Your have no right to do so, anyway.
事实上,你也根本没有权力这样做。
It is wrong to apply your will to other men and women, in order to get them to do what you wish done.
将你个人的意志力作用于其他任何人身上,让他们听从你的意愿,这样的做法根本就是错误的。
It is as flagrantly wrong to coerce people by mental power as it is to coerce them by physical power. If compelling people by physical force to do things for you reduces them to slavery, compelling them by mental means accomplishes exactly the same thing; the only difference is in methods. If taking things from people by physical force is robbery, them taking things by mental force is robbery also; there is no difference in principle.
利用心理作用或思想去影响,纠正他人的行为或思想,强奸他人的意志,与从身体上胁迫要挟他人一样,都是错误至极的做法。通过心理因素扭曲他人的思想,与利用身体或其他物质方面的优势强迫他人为你做事几乎没有任何区别,都是将他人降格为你的奴隶的错误举止。这两者之间唯一的差别就在于方式的不同。如果我们将硬生生地把原本属于他人的物品据为已有的行为称之为抢劫,那么,通过意志或思想的力量获取他人财物的行为同样是抢劫。从本质上来说,这两种行为都是一样的。
You have no right to use your will power upon another person, even "for his own good"; for you do not know what is for his good. The science of getting rich does not require you to apply power or force to any other person, in any way whatsoever. There is not the slightest necessity for doing so; indeed, any attempt to use your will upon others will only tend to defeat your purpose.
你根本没有权利将自己的思想强加于他人,即使你是出于“为了他好”的目的,也不行!因为,你根本无法成为他,既然如此,你又如何能够知道这样做是为了他好呢?本书所倡导的致富的科学,从来都没有要求你将自己的力量或权力,以任何方式作用在其他任何人身上,因为无论从哪一个方面来说,要想致富,都根本无须这样做。事实上,任何试图将自己的思想或意志强加于他人的企图最终都是要失败的。
You do not need to apply your will to things, in order to compel them to come to you.
同样的,你也无须为了得到某些事物而将自己的思想或意志作用在它们之上。
That would simply be trying to coerce God, and would be foolish and useless, as well as irreverent.
这样做无异于试图强迫宇宙能量帮助你完成心愿,而这样愚蠢且不敬的做法对帮助你完成心愿根本不会产生任何作用。
You do not have to compel God to give you good things, any more than you have to use your will power to make the sun rise.
你根本没必要强迫生活赐予你那些美好的事物。这就好比你根本无须每天祈求上天让太阳照常升起一一样,因为,这一规律根本,从来,绝对不会因为你的意志而改变。
You do not have to use your will power to conquer an unfriendly deity, or to make stubborn and rebellious forces do your bidding.
所以,你也根本无须用自己的意志力去战胜某一个不友好的神灵,或是依靠自己的意志力固执已见,坚持某种反叛的思想。
Substance is friendly to you, and is more anxious to give you what you want than you are to get it.
宇宙间所有的物质对你都很友好。在帮助你得到那些你想要的东西这件事情上,它们比你更加迫不及待。
To get rich, you need only to use your will power upon yourself.
因此,要想获取梦想中的财富,你需要做的仅仅是用意志力管好你自己。
When you know what to think and do, then you must use your will to compel yourself to think and do the right things. That is the legitimate use of the will in getting what you want - to use it in holding yourself to the right course. Use your will to keep yourself thinking and acting in the Certain Way.
当你知道自己该如何去思考,该如何去行动之后,你就必须用意志力强迫自已按照正确的方式去思考、去行动。这也是惟一一种你能够利用自身意志力去帮助自已获取财富的方式一用它将自已固定在正确的轨道上,依靠它确保自已能够按照E确的方式思考和行动。
Do not try to project your will, or your thoughts, or your mind out into space, to "act" on things or people.
千万不要试图将你的意志力,或者说你的思想,作用于除自已以外的任何人或事物上。
Keep your mind at home; it can accomplish more there than elsewhere.
你的思想就应该老老实实待在你的体内,而它也只有在那里才能够最大限度地发挥自己的作用。
Use your mind to fom a mental image of what you want, and to hold that vision with faith and purpose; and use your will to keep your mind working in the Right Way.
用你的思想在脑海里勾画出一幅蓝图,一幅包含了所有你梦想的蓝图,然后,请你在坚定信念和明确目标的同时,牢牢记住这幅图画,从而让自己的思想可以在意志力的督促下沿着正确的轨道前进。
The more steady and continuous your faith and purpose, the more rapidly you will get rich, because you will make only POSITIVE impressions upon Substance; and you will not neutralize or offset them by negative impressions.
你的信念越坚定,目标越持久,你获得财富的速度就会越快,因为这是获取宇宙能量的惟一方法,也是惟一一种只会产生积极效应的行为方式。只有这样,你可望获得的财富在向你移动的过程中,才不会因为各种消极效应而受到限制或阻碍。
The picture of your desires, held with faith and pupose, is taken up by the Formless, and permeates it to great distances - throughout the universe, for all I know.
无形的智能物质,宇宙,将会全盘接受你的这幅关于欲望的蓝图,以及你用以支撑这幅蓝图的信念和目标,然后,他会将它们散播至宇宙间的每一个角落,渗入到我们所知道的每一件事物当中。
