T-13.in:Introduction

1. 1If you did not feel guilty you could not attack, for condemnation is the root of attack. 2It is the judgment of one mind by another as unworthy of love and deserving of punishment. 3But herein lies the split. 4For the mind that judges perceives itself as separate from the mind being judged, believing that by punishing another, it will escape punishment. 5All this is but the delusional attempt of the mind to deny itself, and escape the penalty of denial. 6It is not an attempt to relinquish denial, but to hold on to it. 7For it is guilt that has obscured the Father to you, and it is guilt that has driven you insane.

2. 1The acceptance of guilt into the mind of God’s Son was the beginning of the separation, as the acceptance of the Atonement is its end. 2The world you see is the delusional system of those made mad by guilt. 3Look carefully at this world, and you will realize that this is so. 4For this world is the symbol of punishment, and all the laws that seem to govern it are the laws of death. 5Children are born into it through pain and in pain. 6Their growth is attended by suffering, and they learn of sorrow and separation and death. 7Their minds seem to be trapped in their brain, and its powers to decline if their bodies are hurt. 8They seem to love, yet they desert and are deserted. 9They appear to lose what they love, perhaps the most insane belief of all. 10And their bodies wither and gasp and are laid in the ground, and are no more. 11Not one of them but has thought that God is cruel.

3. 1If this were the real world, God would be cruel. 2For no Father could subject His children to this as the price of salvation and be loving. 3Love does not kill to save. 4If it did, attack would be salvation, and this is the ego’s interpretation, not God’s. 5Only the world of guilt could demand this, for only the guilty could conceive of it. 6Adam’s “sin” could have touched no one, had he not believed it was the Father Who drove him out of Paradise. 7For in that belief the knowledge of the Father was lost, since only those who do not understand Him could believe it.

4. 1This world is a picture of the crucifixion of God’s Son. 2And until you realize that God’s Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you will see. 3Yet you will not realize this until you accept the eternal fact that God’s Son is not guilty. 4He deserves only love because he has given only love. 5He cannot be condemned because he has never condemned. 6The Atonement is the final lesson he need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.

1. 若非罪咎作祟，你是不可能发动攻击的，因为定人之罪乃是你发动攻击的根本原因。
意味着某个心灵已判定另一心灵不值得爱，理当受罚。
对立由此形成。
因为评判之心必会把自己与对方视为毫不相干的生命，而且相信唯有惩罚对方，自己方得幸免。
这充分反映出心灵的错乱，它一面企图否定自我，一面又怕受到惩罚。
此举非但无助于放下否定，反而会使自己愈陷愈深。
因为罪咎会让你再也看不清天父的面容；你就是被这罪咎逼疯的。
2. 上主之子让罪咎进入了自己心中，这是天人分裂之始；那么，当他接受救赎之际，自然成了分裂的终结。
你眼前的一切乃是被罪咎逼疯的心灵妄想出来的世界。
只要仔细端详一下世界，你便明白此言不虚。
因为世界确是惩罚的具体象征，它的运作法则好似全受死亡控制。
孩子们在痛苦中诞生，历尽沧桑地活下去。
痛苦伴随着他们成长，他们所学的尽是悲伤、分离与死亡。
他们的心灵好似囚禁在头脑里，身体一受到伤害，脑力就随之减退。
他们很想爱人，然而，一生不是遗弃别人就是被人遗弃。
他们好似随时都会痛失所爱，没有比这更疯狂的信念了。
他们的身体日渐衰颓，一口气接不上来，便是黄土一坏，重归虚无。
任谁都会感到造物主何其不仁。
3. 如果这是真实的世界，上主确实不仁。
因为没有一个有爱心的父亲可能要求孩子为救恩付出这种代价的。
爱岂会用死亡拯救人？
否则，攻击不就成了救恩？只有小我才可能想出这种点子，上主绝不可能有此想法。
唯有充满罪咎的世界才会索求这种代价，也唯有自视有罪之人才会生出这类念头。
当初如果亚当不相信是天父将他逐出乐园的，他的“罪”便不至于遗害万年。
人们因着那一念之差而忘却了天父的真相；因为唯有不认识祂的人，才会相信小我那套说词。
4. “上主之子被钉十字架”，是世界活生生的写照。
除非你彻底明白上主之子是不可能被钉死的，否则你眼中只可能看见这种世界。
唯有你先接受上主之子永远无罪的事实，才可能明白这一道理。
他理当接受爱，因他只能给出爱。
他不可能被定罪，因为他从不定任何人的罪。
“救赎”是他最后一堂必修课程，它教圣子看出自己不曾犯罪，故也不待拯救。
1.倘使你並未感到罪咎，就不會發動攻擊，因為譴責乃是攻擊的根源。
也就是一顆心被另一顆心斷定為不值得愛，且理應受罰。
而分裂便隱藏於此。
因為做出斷定的心感知到自己與被斷定的心是分離的，它相信只要懲罰對方，自己就能逃脫懲罰。
這一切不過都是心靈在妄想自我否定，並逃離否定帶來的懲罰。
它不是在試圖揚棄否定，而是在抓住它。
因為遮蔽了天父的是罪咎，而把你逼瘋的也是罪咎。
2.上主之子的心一旦接納了罪咎，分裂便已發端，而對救贖的接納則可將其終結。
你眼裏的世界乃是被罪咎逼瘋的人所妄想出的一個體系。
仔細端詳這個世界，你就會發覺此言不虛。
因為這個世界就是懲罰的象徵，而貌似掌管著它的法則全是死亡的法則。
孩子們在痛苦的過程中痛苦地誕生。
痛苦伴隨著他們成長，而他們學到的則是悲傷、分離、與死亡。
他們的心好似脫離不了自己的腦，而一旦身體受損，心力便隨之減退。
他們貌似相愛，但不是拋棄他人，就是被人拋棄。
他們好似會痛失所愛，但這種信念再神智不清也沒有。
接著他們的身體就凋萎了，一旦喘不過氣來便入土為安，接著就什麼也沒了。
他們中沒有一個不會認為上主十分殘酷。
3.真實的世界若是如此，那麼上主確實殘酷。
因為一位懷著愛的父親絕不會要自己的孩子承受這些來作為救恩的代價。
愛不會為了拯救而殺戮。
一旦這麼做，攻擊就成了救恩，但這種詮釋必然出自小我，而非上主。
只有罪咎的世界才可能提出這種要求，因為只有罪咎之人才可能作如是想。
若不是亞當相信是天父將他逐出了天堂，他的「罪」便毫無影響。
因為在那樣的信念下，人們會失去對天父的真知，因為只有不了解祂的人才會這麼相信。
4.這個世界即是上主之子承受十字架苦刑的模樣。
除非你能了悟上主之子無法被釘上十字架，不然你眼裡的世界就會是如此。
然而，除非你能接納上主之子的無罪作為永恆的事實，不然就無法了悟這點。
他只給了愛，所以也只值得被愛。
他從未定人之罪，所以也沒有人能定他的罪。
救贖是他需要學習的最終課題，因為它的教導即是，既然他不曾有罪，便無需救贖。
