26. 奇蹟代表你已擺脫了恐懼的束縛。救贖具有「化解」(undo)之義。化解恐懼,乃是奇蹟得以發揮救贖功效不可或缺的因素。
26. Miracles represent freedom from fear. "Atoning" means "undoing". The undoing of fear is an essential part of the atonement value of miracles.
27. 奇蹟是上主對普世的祝福,透過我而祝福了所有的弟兄。寬恕別人,是我這已被寬恕之人的榮幸。
27. A miracle is a universal blessing from God through me to all my brothers. It is the privilege of the forgiven to forgive.
28. 奇蹟只是幫人擺脫恐懼的途徑。啟示才能將人領至一無所懼之地。因此,奇蹟只是工具,啟示才是真正的目的。
28. Miracles are a way of earning release from fear. Revelation induces a state in which fear has already been abolished. Miracles are thus a means and revelation is an end.
30. 奇蹟肯定了靈性的存在,故能重新調整知見的層次,釐清它們的本末先後。它將靈性置於核心地位,天人之間才有直接交流的可能。
30. By recognizing spirit, miracles adjust the levels of perception and show them in proper alignment. This places spirit at the center, where it can communicate directly.
31. 奇蹟應該先激起人的感恩之情,而非敬畏之心。你應為自己的本來面目而感謝上主。上主兒女何其神聖,奇蹟等於向他們致敬;他們的神聖性只可能隱而不現,不可能永遠失落。
31. Miracles should inspire gratitude, not awe. You should thank God for what you really are. The children of God are holy and the miracle honors their holiness, which can be hidden but never lost.
33. 奇蹟向你致敬,因為你是可敬可愛的。它驅除了你的自我幻覺,認出你內在的光明。它就如此為你贖清了過錯,將你從惡夢中解脫。你的心靈一旦掙脫了幻覺的枷鎖,你便恢復了神智清明之境。
33. Miracles honor you because you are lovable. They dispel illusions about yourself and perceive the light in you. They thus atone for your errors by freeing you from your nightmares. By releasing your mind from the imprisonment of your illusions, they restore your sanity.
39. 奇蹟能夠消除過錯,因為一切過錯在聖靈眼中都虛妄不實。這與「光明一現,黑暗自然消逝」的說法異曲同工。
39. The miracle dissolves error because the Holy Spirit identifies error as false or unreal. This is the same as saying that by perceiving light, darkness automatically disappears.
42. 奇蹟最大的功能在於它有能力解除你錯誤的孤立感、匱乏感及被剝削之感。
42. A major contribution of miracles is their strength in releasing you from your false sense of isolation, deprivation and lack.
45. 奇蹟是永不失落的。它能夠感動許多與你緣慳一面的人,為遠在天涯海角之人帶來不可思議的轉變。
45. A miracle is never lost. It may touch many people you have not even met, and produce undreamed of changes in situations of which you are not even aware.
48.你若想掌握時間,唯一操之於你的學習教具便是奇蹟。唯有啟示能夠全然超越時間,它與時間毫不相干。
48. The miracle is the only device at your immediate disposal for controlling time. Only revelation transcends it, having nothing to do with time at all.
49. 奇蹟從不區分妄見的等級或程度。它是修正知見的教具,它的功能絲毫不受錯誤的大小或類別的影響。堪稱為道地的「平等心」。
49. The miracle makes no distinction among degrees of misperception. It is a device for perception correction, effective quite apart from either the degree or the direction of the error. This is its true indiscriminateness.
50. 奇蹟將你所造的一切與上主的創造相互比對,凡符合創造初衷的,便納為真實;與它抵觸的,便斥為虛妄。
50. The miracle compares what you have made with creation, accepting what is in accord with it as true, and rejecting what is out of accord as false.
