今天是大师游戏第83天星期二，继续读《Grace and Grit》，之前一直对下面几个单词的区别有些疑惑，这本书里面竟然有解释，我有疑惑的单词是：
Body, Mind, Soul, Spirit
Body的意思是身体，是偏物质层面的，Mind的意思是思想或心智，它建立在Body的基础上，它可以看到身体，所以它超越了身体，Soul的意思是指灵魂，它建立在心智的基础上，它可以看见心智，所以它超越了心智，Spirit的意思是精神，它建立在灵魂的基础上，它可以看见灵魂，所以它超越了灵魂，Spirit代表了整个世界，代表了最高境界，所以感受到Spirit体验的时刻被称为开悟时刻。所以这四个词是有层次关系的：
Body > Mind > Soul > Spirit
这个层次又叫意识发展的层次，我们的意识越发展，我们就能看到越大的世界，直到整个宇宙。
其中Body和Mind挺好理解的，Soul和Spirit到底有什么区别呢？我想到了一个词：精神永存，精神和灵魂最大的区别是精神是永存的，那灵魂又是什么意思呢？
The soul, as I am using the term, is a sort of halfway house, halfway between the personal ego-mind and the impersonal or
transpersonal Spirit. The soul is the
Witness as it shines forth in you and
nobody else. The soul is the home of
the Witness in that sense. Once you
are established on the soul level, then
you are established as the Witness,
as the real Self.
Soul是小我背后真实的自我，Soul是从Mind到Spirit的必经之路，那到底什么是Spirit呢？
Once you push through the soul level, then the Witness itself collapses into
everything witnessed, or you become
one with everything you are aware of.
You don't witness the clouds, you are
the clouds. That's Spirit."
这个比喻太形象了，当你发展成Spirit，你不再只是看到云，你会成为云。
Like a famous Zen Master said when
he go this enlightenment, 'When I heard the bell ring, suddenly there was no "I" and no "bell," just the ringing.'Everything continues to arise, moment to moment, but there's nobody divorced or alienated from it. What you are looking out of is what
you are looking at. There's no separation or fragmentation between subject and object, thereis just the ongoing stream of experience, perfectly clear and luminous and open. What I am is now everything that is arising. Remember that great quote from Dogen: 'To study
mysticism is to study the self; to
study the self is to forget the self; to
forget the self is to be one with, and
enlightened by, all things.'"
感觉最后几句话说得太好了，为了探索神奇，我们要探索自我，为了探索自我，我们要忘了自我，为了忘了自我，我们要成为一切。虽然自己还不是很懂，也没有类似的体验，但是就是感觉说得太好了，哈哈。
