我好奇故我在

書摘：Zero Limits

Ho’oponopono是一種釋放你內在負面能量的方式，讓「神」(不管用什麼名詞稱呼之)可以進入你心中。簡單說，Ho’oponopono就是矯正錯誤。
Ho’oponopono is a process of letting go of toxic energies within you to allow the impact of Divine thoughts,words, deeds, and actions.... “Simply put,Ho’oponopono means,‘to make right,’ or ‘to rectify an error.’

為什麼會有錯誤？錯誤來自對過去痛苦記憶的念頭，這種錯誤會導致不平衡以及生病。
According to the ancient Hawaiians, error arises from thoughts that are tainted by painful memories from the past.

你可以選擇兩種方式過活，活在記憶中，或是或在inspiration中。記憶是老調重彈。inspiration則是神給予你的訊息。要想要接收到神的訊息，就是要「清除」所有的記憶。
“You have two ways to live your life,” Dr. Hew Len explained. “From memory or from inspiration. Memories are old programs replaying. Inspiration is the Divine giving you a message. You want to come from inspiration.The only way to hear the Divine and receive inspiration is to clean all memories.The only thing you have to do is clean.”

清除的方式有很多，最簡單的方式就是不斷的對神說：我愛你、對不起，請原諒我，謝謝。而且，訴說的對象可以包括萬事萬物，譬如一張桌子等等。
There are simply four statements that you say over and over,
nonstop, addressing them to the Divine.
“I love you.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Please forgive me"
“Thank you.”

如果繼續讀書的後面，作者寫到，所謂的原諒，不是求神原諒你，而是請求神幫祝你自己原諒你自己。(換句話說，我們不夠愛自己是因為有很多障礙，這些障礙要清除。)
By saying “I’m sorry,” you are telling the Divine that you want forgiveness inside yourself for whatever brought it to you. You’re not asking the Divine to forgive you; you’re asking the Divine to help you forgive yourself.

Ho’oponopono 將不把問題看作是折磨，而是一個機會。這些問題是舊記憶的重播，為的是再給我們一次機會，用愛的眼光看事情，並且依照從神獲得的inspiration來行事。(當不確定這件事情是不是神的意旨，就不斷的clean自己意念，直到自己確認這件事情應該要這樣做為止。)
He added, “Ho’oponopono sees each problem not as an ordeal,
but as an opportunity. Problems are just replayed memories of the
past showing up to give us one more chance to see with the eyes of
love and to act from inspiration.”

這些問題的，不管是直接或間接你造成的，只要是發生在你生命中，你都需要負起100的責任。負起怎樣的責任？負起「clean」清除負面能量的責任。外在世界是我們意念的投射，當我們看到別人的問題時，也就是看到我們自身的問題，因此需要clean。
It is about taking full responsibility for your life. Complete responsibility means accepting it all—even the people who enter your life and  their problems, because their problems are your problems. They are in your life, and if you take full responsibility for your life, then you have to take full responsibility for what they are experiencing, too.

心得：這本書講一個簡單的哲學理念，我從沒想過要跟我常用的電腦說：「謝謝」；也沒有想過百分百責任的範圍如此大；也沒有想過釋放這些負面的能量，其實是會讓自己更愛自己。
