以下這個故事,講的是你我為何要踏上回歸心之居所的旅程。
在遠古時代,我們稱之為上帝的這個至高源頭(Supreme Source) 創造了宇宙和宇宙萬物,包括所有物質、動物和植物、恆星、行星、星系,以及祂的得意傑作一人類。上帝一見到人類就生出了源源不絕的愛,那是一種對親生子女的愛;所以,自然會想把所能想到的最好禮物送給祂所寶貝的人類後代,那就是對於他們自身神性的記憶。於是,上帝這麼做了,而每一個人也都知道在人類的外殼之下,隱藏著上帝給予的終極之愛,活得開心又自在。這讓上帝更快樂了,祂坐回自己的寶座上,準備好好欣賞這場生命大戰。
上帝才剛想著放鬆一下,突然有一群高階領導人、嚮導以及眾家神靈要求跟祂召開一場緊急會議:
「上帝,我們真的麻煩大了。祢讓人類知道了他們擁有真正的神性後, 祢知道發生什麼事了嗎?每當人類遇上挑戰或在關係上受挫時,就會聳聳肩說:等一下—我記得我跟萬有之源 (Source of All) 本是同根生啊?!既然這樣,我幹嘛還要去處理些意義的世俗事務呢?畢竟,我與上帝同在,我是純粹之愛,身上這個人類驅體只是暫時性的居所而已。這些人生劇本太煩人了,讓人筋疲力竭,為什麼我要費神去跟其他人建立關係呢?我只要坐在這裡,讓自己沉浸在無限的存在中就好了。』」
「這就是他們現在所做的,」與會者繼續說道,「人類一個接一地表示,他們看不出假裝自己不是上帝有何意義,而一旦他們認定自己是上帝,就什麼都不做了。他們不學習任何人類的課題,不想成長,也不培養任何同情心,他們甚至不跟彼此說話了。他們拒絕再玩這場宇宙大戲。」
「嗯,這的確是個困擾,」上帝承認。「創造的目的,是為了學習如何跨越人性的障礙,找到回神性的道路。我希望他們擁有宇宙中最珍貴的東西,那就是記住他們至高無上的本質就是愛。但這樣看起, 光記住這一點,會讓他們對塵世生活毫無興趣。」
「這樣的發展必須採取激烈的手段,我們不得不將他們真正是誰的秘密隱藏起來,不讓他們輕易發現,如此他們才會有動力去繼續追尋。」
「我有個主意」一位神靈說道,「地球上有一些高山,我們可以把這個秘密藏在那裡。」
「這行不通, 」上帝答道,「人類擁有一項出色的特質,不管有多困難,只要他們下定決心都一定能完任務。所以,他們必定會想辦法攀上那些高山。」
「把這個秘密藏在海底,人類無法在水面下呼吸。」另一位神靈建議。
「他們會發明潛水艇,」上帝回答,「然後潛到海底找到它。」
「有了!把這個秘密藏在外太空!」另一位天使提議,「他們無法離開地球。」上帝摇了搖頭:「抱歉,我把他們創造得太聰明了,他們的科學將有長足的進展,總有一天會設計出能穿越整個太陽系的太空船。」
「我知道祢可以把它藏在哪裡了。」一個溫柔的聲音怯生生地說。上帝抬頭一看,是一位少女天使。
「你說說看,親愛的,」上帝問她:「你認為我們應該把這個秘密藏在哪裡呢?」
就藏在人類的內心深處,他們絕對不會去那裡尋這個神聖的愛。」
上帝笑了,因為知道他們找到了藏這個秘密的完美之處。於這麼做了,而全世界的人類立刻就忘記了他們的真實身分。
「人類開始尋尋覓覓,卻不知這樣的愛早已藏在他們的內心深處。」

Here is a story for you about that journey home to the heart.
At the time before Time, the Supreme Source that we often call God created the Universe, and everything in it—all of the physical matter; the plants and animals; the stars, planets, and galaxies; and His masterpiece, the human beings. As soon as God saw the humans, He felt so much love for them, as you would love your own children, and so naturally, He wanted to give His precious human offspring the greatest gift He could think of, which was the remembrance of their own divinity. God made it so, and every human knew they were the ultimate love disguised in human form, and naturally they were all very happy. This made God happy, and He sat back, ready to enjoy the play of life.
God was just beginning to relax, when suddenly, a group of the higher lords, guides, and celestial creatures demanded an emergency meeting with Him:
“God, we have a real problem. You gave these human beings the knowledge of their true divine nature, and you know what’s happening? Every time one of them comes up against a challenge or hits a rough spot in their relationship, they say: ‘Wait a minute—don’t I remember being told that I am the same as the Source of All? If that’s so, then why should I have to deal with all this earthly nonsense? After all, I’m not really this human form I am living in. I’m one with God. I am pure love. These dramas are too annoying, not to mention exhausting. Why even bother having any relationships? I’ll just sit here by myself immersed in my own infinite presence.’”
“And that’s what they’re doing,” the Council members confessed. “One by one, the humans are deciding they don’t see the point of pretending they’re not God, and as soon as they do, they stop doing everything. They’re not learning any human lessons, they’re not growing, they’re not developing any compassion, and they’re not even speaking to each other. They’ve dropped out of the Cosmic Game.”
“Well, this is very disturbing,” God admitted. “The whole purpose of Creation was for these human beings to learn how to find their way through the obstacle course of their humanity back to their Divinity. I wanted them to have the most precious thing in the Universe, which is the remembrance of their true supreme nature as love. Yet it seems by remembering it, they have no interest at all in living an earthly life.”
“Well, this is very disturbing,” God admitted. “The whole purpose of Creation was for these human beings to learn how to find their way through the obstacle course of their humanity back to their Divinity. I wanted them to have the most precious thing in the Universe, which is the remembrance of their true supreme nature as love. Yet it seems by remembering it, they have no interest at all in living an earthly life.”
“This development calls for drastic measures. We are going to have to hide the secret of who they really are so that they won’t be able to easily find it, and they’ll be motivated to keep searching.”
“I have an idea,” one of the divine beings said. “There are some really tall mountains on Earth. We could hide it there.”
“That won’t work,” God replied. “Human beings have a wonderful quality of setting their minds to a task and accomplishing it no matter how difficult it may be. They will be resourceful and find a way to climb the mountains.” Another being suggested, “Hide it at the bottom of the sea. They can’t breathe under the water.”
“They’re going to invent submarines,” God answered. “They’ll go down and they’ll find it.”
“I’ve got it—hide it in outer space!” an Angel offered. “They can’t get off the planet.” God shook His head. “Sorry—I created them to be smart and infinitely clever. They’ll advance scientifically, and one day they’ll design ships that will fly all over the solar system.”
“I know where you can hide it,” a soft voice offered. God looked up and saw a young female angel.
“Yes, my dear?” God asked. “Where do you think we should hide the secret of who they are?”
“Hide it deep within the human heart. They’ll never look for the divine love there.”
