忠實

By Rudolf Steiner

譯：by 賴心詩

        

我們常說所謂的“忠實“，總是快速的擦身而過之後便不見蹤影。 為你自己創造出ㄧ個新的、對於“忠實“ 無懈可擊的認知。請讓這個成為你的“忠實“：

你將和其他人體驗到許多的片刻….短暫的片刻….。這個人在你面前充滿了光明，如同是自他的本我最完美之處散發出光芒。

然而也許….或絕對會如此 …..在其他的片刻，當在一段長時間內這個人變的黑暗陰鬱了，在這樣的時刻，你要學著對你自己說：“這個人（的靈）使我更強壯，我記得他的本我最完美之處，我曾看過ㄧ次，這不是幻覺，沒有迷惑之心剝奪走我曾所見的 。“

總是為你所見到過的這個印象而做堅持。 這個堅持是“忠實“。為“忠實“來堅持，我們將會更靠近彼此，如同被授與天使們的保護力量。

Faithfulness

Rudolf Steiner

Create for yourself a new, indomitable perception of faithfulness. What is usually called faithfulness passes so quickly. Let this be your faithfulness:

You will experience moments.... fleeting moments.... with the other person. The human being will appear to you then as if filled, irradiated with the archetype of his spirit.

And then there may be.... indeed will be.... other moments, long periods of time, when human beings are darkened. But you will learn to say to yourself at such times: "The Spirit makes me strong. I remember the archetype. I saw it once. No illusion, no deception shall rob me of it."

Always struggle for the image that you saw. This struggle is faithfulness. Striving thus for faithfulness, we shall be close to one another, as if endowed with the protective powers of angels.
