关于物质宇宙的一个故事

关于物质宇宙的一个故事

B：在你们的文明中，有一个特定的故事，你们可以称之为一个笑话…… 我们讲给你们听：你们有这么一个人，用你们的话来说，这个人声称自己相信上帝的力量，并且认为自己除了相信上帝之外什么都不需要做，上帝会提供一切。到目前为止你们明白我的意思吗？
观众：明白。

B：好的。要是你们听过这个故事也先别打断我。（观众大笑）于是，这个人住在自己的房子里。有一天，一些人路过，他们说：“一场大洪水要来了，你最好跟我们一起上车，我们带你去安全的地方。” “不，不，” 房子里的这个人说，“我会待在属于我的房子里…… 上帝会救我，上帝会提供帮助的。”

那些人说：“好吧。” 然后就开车走了。

洪水来了，这个人待在房子里，水位不断上涨，于是这个人爬到了屋顶上，以免被水淋湿。这时，一些人坐着你们所说的船过来了，他们说：“哦，看啊，你被困在房顶上了，快上我们的船，我们带你去安全的地方。” “不，不，我没事。我相信上帝会提供帮助的。” 那些人说：“好吧。” 然后就驾船离开了。

水位继续上涨，直到只剩下房顶的最高处露在外面！这个人站在房顶上，这时一架你们的直升机飞过来了。直升机里的人看到了房顶上的这个人，就说：“我们放根绳子给你，我们带你去安全的地方。” “不，不，我相信上帝会提供帮助的。非常感谢，你们可以走了。” 那些人说：“好吧……” 然后就飞走了。

水位继续上涨…… 这个人被淹死了。

这个人现在处于非物质状态，为自己创造了一个与他或她所信仰的上帝交流的机会，然后说：“我信任你，可你让我失望了。” 上帝说：“你什么意思？我派了一辆车，派了一艘船，还派了一架直升机给你，可你听进去了吗！？”（观众大笑）

B：这个故事所谓的寓意是，在物质宇宙中，创造的理念是，创造是通过物质宇宙中存在的事物来实现的…… 因为没有什么不是奇迹。非常感谢。
观众：（笑声和赞赏声）谢谢你。

原文段落：

A Story About The Physical Universe

B: You have in your civilization, what is called a particular story, you may call it a joke… we will relate it to you: You have what you call an individual, who in your terms says, that they believe in the power of God, and that they do not need to do anything but that. God will provide. Do you follow me so far?
Audience: Yes.

B: All right. Do not stop me if you have heard this. (Much laughter from audience) Therefore, this individual lives in his or her house, and one day some individuals come by and they say: There is a great flood coming, you had best jump in the car with us and we will take you to safety. No, no, says the individual in the house, I will stay in my house where I belong… God will save me, will provide.

All right, they say, and drive off.

The flood comes and the individual is in the house and the waters are rising so the individual climbs onto the roof to avoid in this way, getting wet. Along come individuals in what you call, your boat and they say: Oh look, you are stuck on top of your house, come along in this boat and we will take you to safety. No, no, I am fine. My faith is that God will provide. All right, they say, and go off in the boat.

The waters continue to rise until there is only the very crest of the roof left! And the individual is standing upon it and along comes one of your helicopters. And in this way, the individuals in it spy the individual on the house and say: We will lower a rope to you, we will take you to safety. No, no, I have trust that God will provide. Thank you very much, you may be on your way. All right… and off they fly.

The waters rise… the individual drowns.

The individual, now in non-physicality, creates for themselves the opportunity to communicate with the concept of his, or her, God, and says: I put my faith in you and you let me down. God says: What do you mean? I sent you a car, I sent you a boat, I sent you a helicopter, but did you listen!? (Much laughter)

B: The so-called, moral, is that in a physical universe, the idea of creation is that creation works through what exists in the physical universe… for nothing is anything less than a miracle. Thank you very much.
Audience: (Laughter and appreciation) Thank you.
