问:
我很难看出“新时代”书籍论及的通灵、脉轮这类所谓的“真理”,与《奇迹课程》的教导有任何关联。怎么会这样?
答:
你很难看出关联,因为根本就没有关联!
虽然《课程》是依据小我的思想架构而写的(C.in.3:1),但是这些教义的“源头”全然来自一个超越小我的思想体系,目的也在帮助心灵超越小我的思想体系,以及它所造出的虚假自我。虽然有时候“新时代”的各种教导也能够反映出片段的心灵正见(譬如“放下评判”),但是,它们大多只是想帮人在小我的分裂与个体性思想体系之内活得轻松一点、快乐一点罢了。

Q #1123: I have difficulty seeing any connection between teachings about chakra systems, channeling and many other "truths" in New Age books, and the teachings I find in A Course in Miracles . How come?
A: You're having difficulty seeing any connection because there isn't any!
Although the Course comes within an ego framework (C.in.3:1) , its teachings come from a thought system and a Source completely beyond the ego, with its purpose to help the mind transcend the ego thought system and the resulting false self. Most New Age teachings are geared towards helping one function with greater ease and happiness within the ego thought system of separation and individuality, although at the same time they may reflect certain aspects of right- minded thinking, such as the value of releasing judgments.
