现在你看到了，现在你看不到

Let us, once again, revisit one of our favorite topics, and look at it from yet another perspective. We are going on a short journey in your imagination, your imagination being able to take us anywhere in creation.

让我们，再次，重温我们最喜欢的一个话题，但是从另一个角度来看。我们会在你的想象力中进行一个简单的旅程，你的想象力能够带我们前往造物中的任何地方

Look at something in front of you. Get a good mental picture of it. Now close your mental eyes. Don’t close your physical eyes. You will need them open to keep reading.

看看你面前的东西。得到一个良好的精神画面。现在闭上你的精神之眼。不要闭上你的物理眼睛。你会需要它们来继续阅读

Now, as you observe the mental picture of your object, get closer and closer to it. Keep going until you are almost touching it. Pick a spot and focus on it. Now make yourself smaller and watch the spot grow as you do. Keep getting smaller until you begin to see the molecules that make up the surface of the object. Keep going until you can see the spaces between the molecules. Good.

现在，随着你观察你目标的精神画面，贴近它。直到你几乎要碰到它。找到一个点，专注它。现在让自己变小一点，看着那个点变大。继续变小直到你开始看到组成目标表面的分子。继续直到你能看到分子之间的空间。很好

Now, pick a molecule, just one. And watch it as you get close enough and small enough to see the atoms that it is made of. Can you see that there is an unbelievable amount of space between the atoms? Can you see that they aren’t even standing still? Pick one. Pick an atom. It doesn’t matter what kind. And get so small that the atom grows until you can see what it is made of.

现在，选择一个分子，就一个。随着你足够接近和足够小，看到组成分子的原子。你能看到原子之间有着难以置信的空间吗？你能看到它们甚至都不是静止不动的。选一个。选一个原子。什么样的并不重要。变得非常小，让原子变大，直到你可以看到什么组成了它

There are lots of teensy little bits that scientists have told you are“ons”- protons, neutrons, electrons, photons – there are all kinds. And these little bits – they look big from this angle – are whizzing around like crazy. Let’s do it again. Pick one of these little bits, chase it down and get close to it. Watch it closely and think of what you have been told about it.

有着许多科学家已经告诉过你的小小“物体”---质子、中子、电子、光子---各种各样。这些小东西---从这个角度看是巨大的---疯狂地旋转。让我们再做一次。选一个小东西，追着它，贴近它。密切关注它，想想你被告知的关于它的一切

They said that it is only material because we want to see it that way, right? If we want it to be a wave, it will be. Okay. So now we want it to be a wave. And as a wave this little guy is oscillating at a frequency. So, its energy, right? It’s energy because we want it to be. We wanted to see it that way.

他们说那只是物质，因为我们想要这么看，对不对？如果我们想要它成为一个波浪，它会是。好吧。现在我们想要它成为一个波浪。作为一个波浪，这个小家伙在振荡出一个频率。所以，它是能量，对不对？它是能量，因为我们想要它那样。我们想要这么看它

What happens if we want to see it as a particle again? Does it stop being energy? Interesting thought. So, now it’s a particle, and with our magic it has become so big we can stand on it. Look around. What do we know about this place? Well, those scientists have said that the next particle is so far away we can’t see it from here.

如果我们想要看到它再次成为粒子，什么会发生？它会停止成为能量吗？有趣的想法。所以，现在它是一个粒子，伴随着我们的魔法，它变得如此之大，我们可以在上面站立。看看周围。我们对这个地方了解多少？那些科学家说过下一个粒子非常遥远，我们无法从这里看到

But we cheated and brought our hobby telescope with us. And with this we can see other particles whizzing all about us. It looks like the night sky looks up where we live.

但我们被骗了，我们带来了哈勃望远镜。用它我们看到其他的粒子就在我们周围盘旋。看起来就像我们生活之地的夜空

Now we will do what we came here to do. I want you to pick a particle that is part of that thing you looked at in front of you. And I want you to pick a particle that is not. Do you see the problem? First, they are all pretty much alike, at least all of the electrons look like electrons, etc. And besides, everything is so big, and there is so much space, that you can’t tell where one ‘thing’ starts and where it stops. From here, you can’t even tell what is it and what is you, can you?

现在我们会做我们前来做的。我想要你选一个面前物体之中的粒子。我想要你选一个不是你面前物体之中的粒子。你看到问题了吗？首先，它们都很类似，至少所有的电子看起来都像电子等等。除此之外，一切都是如此巨大，有着大量的空间，你无法诉说一个“东西”从哪开始，从哪结束。从这里，你甚至无法诉说它是什么，你是什么，你能吗？

Now notice something else that you can see from here that you cannot see from where you usually are. These little teensy guys are winking in and out of existence. They are all doing it. “I mean, hey! Stop that! You’re supposed to be part of my table.” This sort of upsets the apple cart, doesn’t it?

现在注意到你可以从这里看到的东西，你无法从平常的地方看到的。这些小家伙在存在中眨眼。它们都这么做着。“我是说，嘿！停下来！你应该是我桌子的一部分。”这有点把美梦搞砸了，是不是？

So let us summarize this little experiment in a new way. Reality, as you observe it, does not exist. The key here is the phrase ‘as you observe it’. Your observation of the energies around you are organized by you into a representation of your world. And we mean your world, not Jack’s world and not Susan’s world. And it is not solid nor in any way permanent. And this brings about a problem. It means that everything is changing, every moment, always. And we do not like that, do we?

所以让我们在新的方式中总结这个实验。现实，随着你观察它，并不存在。这里的关键就是“随着你观察它”这句话。你对周围能量的观察被你编织到你世界的表现中。我们是说你的世界，不是张三的世界，也不是李四的世界。它不是固态的也不是永恒的。这带来了一个问题。这意味着一切都在改变，每时每刻，总是。我们不喜欢这样，是不是？

Humans do not like that because we want things to remain as they are. If they don’t, if they can’t, then humans can’t either, can they? And that means that the fact that you can’t puts your own impermanence front and center. Forget that your favorite toy is not really yours, nor will it last forever.

人类不喜欢这样，因为我们想要事物保持不变。如果不，如果不能，人类也不行，是不是？这意味着你无法处于自己无常的前沿和中心。你最喜欢的玩具并不真的是你的，也不会永远存在下去

But there is good news. You just saw that you are exactly the same as everything else. Right? Same particles. Same waves. Same energy. No difference. Period.

但也有着好消息。你刚刚看到你和其他的一切都是一样的。是不是？相同的粒子。相同的波浪。相同的能量。没有不同。期间

In fact, that same ‘stuff’ has been zipping along for billions of years. Sometimes it zips as part of a chair. Sometimes it zips as part of you. And you are you, regardless. Enough for now. Think on that. Thanks for going with us.

事实上，相同的“东西”已经活跃数十亿年了。有时候它作为椅子的一部分活跃。有时候作为你的一部分活跃。你就是你，无论怎样。现在已经足够。沉思。谢谢和我们一同进行
