所有宗教都堅稱：覺悟是需要時間的——這里所說的時間顽频，是指心理時間藤肢。天國路遙，世人只能通過漸進(jìn)之路糯景、通過壓抑自己嘁圈、通過成長、通過認(rèn)同于目標(biāo)蟀淮、認(rèn)同于高級事物最住，最終抵達(dá)天國。但我們不禁要問：能不能當(dāng)下擺脫恐懼怠惶？否則恐懼必產(chǎn)生混亂涨缚，心理時間必然滋生巨大的精神混亂。

我質(zhì)疑全部的進(jìn)化觀策治。所謂進(jìn)化仗岖，不是指生理進(jìn)化，而是指思想進(jìn)化览妖，事實(shí)上思想進(jìn)化被視為人類在時間河流中的獨(dú)特生存方式轧拄。顯然，人類的大腦通過進(jìn)化而達(dá)到現(xiàn)階段讽膏，而且還會繼續(xù)進(jìn)化檩电、繼續(xù)增大。我在世上活了四五十年府树，這個世界充斥著各種理論俐末、沖突與概念趴泌，這個社會充滿了貪婪着撩、嫉妒與競爭指蚜，并不斷滋生著戰(zhàn)爭馏鹤，而我就是一分子，參與其中梧奢。對于陷入悲苦之人棘催，如果指望時間給他化解之道倦西，指望再慢慢進(jìn)化二百萬年弯洗，是毫無意義的旅急。以現(xiàn)有的心理構(gòu)造，我們有沒有可能擺脫恐懼牡整，從心理時間的羈絆中解脫出來藐吮？物理時間必須存在，你難以逃脫。問題是谣辞，心理時間能否為個人和社會帶來和諧秩序迫摔？我們都是社會的分子，是一體不可分割的泥从。只有個人的內(nèi)心和諧有序攒菠，外在社會才會秩序井然。

Time Provides No Solution

All religions have maintained that time is necessary, the psychological time we are talking about. Heaven is very far away, and one can only come to it through the gradual process of evolution, through suppression, through growth, or through identification with an object, with something superior. Our question is whether it is possible to be free of fear immediately. Otherwise fear breeds disorder; psychological time invariably does breed extraordinary disorder within one.

I am questioning the whole idea of evolution, not of the physical being, but of thought, which has identified itself with a particular form of existence in time. The brain has obviously evolved to come to this present stage, and it may evolve still further, expand still more. But as a human being, I have lived for forty or fifty years in a world made up of all kinds of theories, conflicts, and concepts; in a society in which greed, envy, and competition have bred wars. I am a part of all that. To a man who is in sorrow, there is no significance in looking to time for a solution, in evolving slowly for the next two million years as a human being. Constituted as we are, is it possible to be free from fear and from psychological time? Physical time must exist; you can’t get away from that. The question is whether psychological time can bring not only order within the individual but also social order. We are part of society; we are not separate. Where there is order in a human being, there will inevitably be social order outwardly.
