我們所講的時間泥从,不是指鐘表時間。鐘表時間是存在的迫皱,而且必須存在歉闰。如果你想趕巴士,如果你明天搭火車或赴約會卓起,則必須遵循鐘表時間和敬。但你還有心理意義上的明天,這就是心理時間戏阅。心理明天是真實存在嗎昼弟?抑或,那只是思維的造作奕筐?——因為你發(fā)現(xiàn)當下直接轉變是不可能的舱痘,所以發(fā)明了漸變之策。
身為人類一員离赫,我以為芭逝,我們的生活、思維渊胸、感受與行為的方式需要發(fā)生根本性轉化旬盯,這是極其重要的。如果我安慰自己:“我會花時間轉化自己翎猛,明天或者一個月后胖翰,我就會大變樣∏欣澹”這就是我們所說的時間——由時間萨咳、明天與未來搭建的心理結構。我們都生活在這個心理結構中:過去疫稿、現(xiàn)在與未來——注意我們說的不是鐘表時間培他。我經(jīng)歷了昨天鹃两,而昨天依然通過今天在心中運轉,進而制造出未來靶壮。這一點簡單易懂怔毛,比如,一年前我有過某次經(jīng)歷腾降,并在心中殘留下印跡;現(xiàn)在碎绎,我根據(jù)那些殘留的經(jīng)驗螃壤、知識、傳統(tǒng)與約束來解讀當下筋帖,并繼續(xù)制造著明天奸晴。我陷入了這個怪圈中,這就是所謂的生活日麸,這就是所謂的時間寄啼。
思維,連同所有的記憶代箭、枷鎖墩划、理念、希望嗡综、絕望乙帮、徹底的生存孤獨……這就是你,所有這些就是心理時間极景。為了領悟心理時間終結——亦即時間泯滅的境界察净,你必須捫心自問:能否徹底放下一切經(jīng)驗?因為經(jīng)驗的本質(zhì)盼樟,是心理時間氢卡。

A Timeless State
When we are talking about time, we do not mean chronological time, time by the watch. That time exists, must exist. If you want to catch a bus, if you want to get to a train or meet an appointment tomorrow, you must have chronological time. But is there a tomorrow, psychologically, which is the time of the mind? Is there psychologically tomorrow, actually? Or is the tomorrow created by thought because thought sees the impossibility of change, directly, immediately, and invents this process of gradualness?
I see for myself, as a human being, that it is terribly important to bring about a radical revolution in my way of life, thinking, feeling, and in my actions, and I say to myself, “I’ll take time over it; I’ll be different tomorrow, or in a month’s time.” That is the time we are talking about: the psychological structure of time, of tomorrow, or the future, and in that time we live. Time is the past, the present, and the future, not by the watch. I was, yesterday; yesterday operates through today and creates the future. That’s a fairly simple thing. I had an experience a year ago that left an imprint on my mind, and the present I translate according to that experience, knowledge, tradition, conditioning, and I create the tomorrow. I’m caught in this circle. This is what we call living; this is what we call time.
Thought, which is you, with all its memories, conditioning, ideas, hopes, despair, the utter loneliness of existence—all that is this time…. And to understand a timeless state, when time has come to a stop, one must inquire whether the mind can be free totally of all experience, which is of time.
