Raj: You are beginning to get the idea, Paul. It is not necessary for you to understand. It is only necessary for you to be with me and, as Susan said, be the Door.
You have no idea What stands behind the Threshold pressing, literally, to move through. But you are feeling the pressure. You are feeling the presence of It. I will tell you something: The Door has no definition aside from its function. The Threshold has no definition aside from its function. And its function is to be that Place over which or through which God is Self-expressed.
瑞吉：你開始抓到要領了，保羅。你沒必要搞清楚狀況，只需與我同在，如同蘇珊說的：當那扇「神聖大門」。
你不知道在「神聖門檻」後頭急著要跨越過來的是什麼東西，但你「確實」感受到一股壓力。你感受得到「它」的存在。我要告訴你：那扇「門」除了它的功能以外，沒有其他意義。那道「門檻」除了它的功能以外，也沒有其他意義。而這功能就是：成為讓上主展現祂自己的「管道」。

I fully understand the fact that your training, and, indeed, the approach of those around you is that you are accountable, and therefore you need to be able to account for yourself. But, I will tell you something, Paul: You cannot account for being the Door, for being the Threshold, if the function of the Threshold is not occurring. If the movement of Being is not moving over It, It can't be accounted for. And so it is essential for you to drop the conditioning which says that you must be able to account for yourself as a Threshold before It fulfills Its function. After It fulfills Its function, there is no need to account for It. And even if others then want an accounting, which would require the Threshold to cease performing Its function so that It could define or account for Itself, you must realize that what is being required cannot be done. Therefore you must neglect to respond, and you must neglect to feel that some sort of response ought to be able to be forthcoming.
我很清楚，你的成長背景都在訓練你成為一個能扛起責任的人，老實說，你身邊的人也懷著同樣的期待才會找到你頭上來，於是，你學到了靠自己扛責任的本事。但，保羅，我得提醒你，如果那門檻的「功能」還未啟動，你根本沒有能力為那扇「門」或是那道「門檻」負任何責任。如果那神聖本體尚未到跨越的時刻，誰都無法為此事負責的。你得放下你加給自己的重擔，別認為在這道「門檻」時機尚未成熟以前，你個人需要扛起此責。話說回來，「它」若已經圓滿達成了它的任務，又何勞你去為它負責呢？設若有人要你扛起責任，無異於要求「門檻」終止它的運作，好讓你們去給它界定或為它負責。你必須了解，他們的要求是不可能辦到的。因此，你必須不去回應他們的期待，絶對不要給出他們覺得你「應該」給的答覆。

You do not amount to anything on your own, because you don't exist on your own! Therefore, you cannot account for yourself on your own. The demand of others for you to account for yourself on your own, so that they can continue to believe that they can account for themselves on their own, must not be played into. It is, again, like accounting for where your lap goes when you stand up.
靠你自己，你什麼都不算，因為連你自己的存在，你都無法靠你自己！正因如此，你無法為你自己負責。外頭那些人希望你靠己力來扛己責，目的是想繼續相信他們能靠自己來負責任，你可別中計了。這就好像當你在站起來時，要你為自己的大腿動向負責是同樣的荒謬。

When we do a Workshop, you do not attempt to conceptualize ahead of time what will happen. You do not require yourself to understand the "plan," as though there were a plan. And the Workshops happen. And they are beautiful. They are meaningful. They are transformational. Why then would you attempt to understand ahead of time what being Fourth-dimensional will mean, and how you will play Pictionary or engage in any other activity?
工作坊中，你並不會費心去預設它的進展與流向，或要求自己得了解這「幕後大業」（好似真有一套計畫一般）。工作坊是自然發生的。它進行得很美，又很有意思，且能幫人轉化心靈。那麼，你又何必想要事先了解那活於第四度空間究竟是怎麼一回事，或是你該怎麼玩看圖猜字遊戲或任何活動呢？

Life is not going to unfold according to any preconceptions. You could make assumptions as to what would be covered in a Workshop, but it would be a fruitless expenditure of energy, because you, from a personal, private standpoint, cannot govern the movement of Life, and what will really spontaneously and actually occur will occur in spite of your preconceptions.
生命可不是根據「任何」預設而進行的。你可以猜測或假想工作坊會討論什麼主題，其實那只是白費力氣而已，因為，從狹隘的個人觀點出發的你，是沒有辦法掌控那生命的運作的。不管你有什麼預設想法，真正該發生的自會不假他力而發生的。
（6）
I want to point out to you that the antsy-ness which you are experiencing is the feeling of the activity of the Movement "waiting" to move over the threshold. But if you are insisting upon comprehending who you are as the Door, you will be inclined, as something separate from Its function, to act on your own.
我要告訴你，你此刻的坐立不安正是生命之流「等著要」跨過門檻的感受。倘若你堅持要搞清楚作為這扇「門」的你究竟是誰，你會漸漸靠自己的力量，而與這扇「門」的任務分道揚鑣了。
（7）
The suggestion that you ought to be able to account for yourself will promote acts of accounting for yourself without engaging in the function of your Being. You will simply continue the attempt to function as an ego—except that your ego is crumbling. Where in the past you had been able to account for yourself pretty well, any attempts you now make to account for yourself will be disastrous—absolutely unsuccessful. Therefore, do not bother. Do not waste your time.
「你應該為自己負責」這樣的建議，只會催你去努力扛起自己的責任，而與你實存生命的運作脫軌。於是你走回了老路，按小我的方式去活，問題是你的小我正在坍塌狀態。過去你相當能夠為自己負責，但現在不論怎麼努力，結果都是一團糟，徹底的失敗。那麼，又何苦來哉？別浪費你的時間了。

Paul: I am experiencing silence. Am I blocking, or are you simply not saying anything?
Raj: I am not saying anything.
Paul: Well, I'm still stuck. I mean by that that the demands confronting me are still confronting me. Do I just sit here and wait until you say something again, and feel confident that the silence, and my sitting here in the silence, is an appropriate use of my time when I don't seem to be addressing the very severe demands?
保羅：怎麼沒聲音了？是我障住了，還是你沒有說話？
瑞吉：我沒有說話。
保羅：這麼說吧，我還是感到動彈不得。我是說，現實要求依舊迫在眉睫，還沒解決。難道，我就只是一直坐在這兒等你繼續說下去，絶口不提自己的迫切需求，只管信心滿滿地守在這個寧靜中，這樣就是善用我的時間嗎？
