Incredible “I Am”

Hello, I'd like to make a very brief video based on one of the most misunderstood statements in all spiritual literature, and it's the words ‘I am’.

 哈啰！我想制作一个非常简短的视频，基于一个在所有灵性文学中最容易误解的表述，就是这个词“我是”。 

If somebody were to ask you who are you, you'll say I am, it's understood. But ‘I am’ means who you really are, the truth of you, the oneness of you. And to draw out history, religious and everything else have misunderstood this word, because it's a very depth word. 如果某人问你：「你是谁？」你会说：「我是……」这是可以理解。 然而「我是」意指着你真正是谁、你的真相、你的合一。纵贯历史、宗教和其他一切，都误解了这个词，因为它是个非常有深度的词。 For example, when we hear statements like I am that I am, it refers to the truth of I am. When a statement the seven most beautiful words in the English language that say, “Be still, and know I am God.” it is still referring back to that oneness, to that being. In this particular sense during the videos called in you. See, this is the biggest one. 举例来说，当我们听到这样的表述，如：「我是我所是」，它指的是「我是」的真相。 这样的表述，在英语中由七个最美丽的字眼组成，是这么说的“Be still, and know I am God. ”（静默，然后知道我是上主。） 这仍然意指着回到那个合一，回到那个存在（Being）。在视频中以这个特定的意义来称呼「你」。瞧！这是最大的。 I had a couple of emails, people saying, Burt, I forgive other people, I forgive things, but I find it so hard to forgive myself. It all comes back to ‘I am’. When Jesus made the statement, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, and only through me can you enter the kingdom of heaven.” people took it for granted that unless you believe in Jesus the body you want to enter the kingdom of heaven. But Jesus became the Christ consciousness where he realized ‘I am’ is all that I am. 我收到一些邮件，人们说：「Burt，我宽恕了别人，我宽恕了事情，但我发现我很难宽恕自己。」这都要回到「我是」。 当耶稣宣说：「我是道路、真理、生命，只有通过我，你才能进入天国。」 人们想当然的认为，除非你信仰耶稣，那个肉身，你才能进入天国。但是，耶稣成为了基督意识，他了知「我是我的全部」。 For example, let's let make it other simpler. A woman asked me. She said, “Burt, when I'm praying, who am I praying to? If I am is who I am.” And I said, “You're praying to yourself.” She says, praying to myself? And I said yes!  举例来说，把它变得更容易理解一些。一位女士问我：「Burt，当我在祈祷时，如果我即我所是，我是在向谁祈祷呢？」然后我说：「你是在向你自己祈祷。」她说：「向我自己祈祷？」我说：「是的！」 Because all the time you think you're separate, so you look for someone to complete you, you never feel fulfilled within yourself, you never feel complete within yourself, you feel always something is missing, something is not there. You can't find it that there is no one but the ‘I am’ that you are. ‘I am’ is all that there is, so you never pray to anyone, you pray to yourself, because at that moment, there is only the idea that when you pray, God is out there. And you're praying to God, but God is I am. There's only ‘I am’ which is I am, so when I pray, there is absolutely no separation at all, there is only ‘I am’ and that's the fulfillment. 因为你总觉得自己是分裂的，所以你在找寻某人来圆满你，在你之内你从未感到满足，在你之内从未感到完整，你总觉得缺少点什么，有什么不在那儿。 你找不着的，那儿并没有人，有的只是「我是」——你所是的。 「我是」即是一切，所以你从未向任何人祈祷，你是在向自己祈祷，因为在那个时刻，当你祈祷时，只有「上主就在那儿」的念头存在。 而你在向上主祈祷，但上主乃我之所是。这儿只有「我是」，也就是「我」之所「是」，因此，当我祈祷，根本就没有什么分裂，只有“我是”，而那就是圆满。 Why do we feel lonely, why do we feel deprived, why do we feel unloved, why do we feel incomplete, why do we crave relationship for someone to love us, because we can't feel this completeness, this truth.  为什么我们感到孤独？为什么我们感到被剥夺？为什么我们感到不被爱？为什么我们感到不完整？为什么我们渴望那种有人来爱我们的连结关系？因为我们无法感受到这个完整性、这个真相。 Jesus said, “Don't say lo here, lo there.” The kingdom of God is within you, it is you, yourself we are searching for. There is nothing outside of you, there is only ‘you’, and this is the most complex thing, because when we think of me, we think we're thinking ego. No, ego is the idea that you are incomplete, ego is the idea that you need something, you're conditioned to believe that you are not enough, but you'll finally realize that this ‘I am that I am’ is the true love, which is in a way loving yourself, but not the ego self, which doesn't exist, which is made up of the past, which is made up of your name and body and form.  耶稣说：「别说，看吧！在这里。看吧！在那里。」（路加福音 17:21） 上主的天国就在你内，就是你，你在找寻的就是你自己。 在你之外并没有任何东西，只有「你」，而这正是最复杂的事情，因为当我们想到「我」，我们认为我们在思考自我。 不是的，「自我」是那个认为自己不圆满的「想法」，「自我」是那个认为你需要什么的「想法」，你习惯于认为你是不足的。 但是，你最终会意识到，这个「我是我所是」就是真正的爱，以一种爱你自己的方式，而不是爱那个自我——自我根本不存在，它纯粹由过去组成，它由你的名字、身体、形式组成。 It is who you are right now. You are aware that you're listening. Who is aware? Who? You might say me, but if you look for me, there is no me, there's no such thing as me, but I am, yes, I am listening, that ‘I am’ is all you need. 我说的是在此时的“你是谁”。你觉知到你在聆听。是谁在觉知？谁？你可能会说：「是我。」 但如果你找寻「我」，并没有「我」，并没有被称为「我」的东西。只有「我是」，是的，「我是」在聆听，那个「我是」是你需要的。 If you close your eyes for a moment and say ‘I am that I am’ and you pray to that I am, be still and know I am God, then you begin to understand how great and beautiful and wonderful you are. But it is not the personal, that is born and dies, it is departing you the kingdom of God. The ‘I am’ that knows no beginning and no end and that is you right now. I am that, and when you pray to that, you feel complete you feel good.  如果你闭上眼睛待一会，说：「我是我所是。」而且你向那个「我是」祈祷，「静默，然后知道我是上主。」那么你就开始明白，你是多么的伟大、美丽和妙不可言。 但这不是个人的，个人有出生和死亡，正是这个个人使你与上主的天国分离。那个「我是」知道没有开始，也没有结束，那就是此时此刻的你。「我是」「那个」，而当你向「那个」祈祷，你感到完整，你觉得很好。 Sometimes people ask me, Burt, you live alone and don't you feel lonely, don't you crave company? Well yes, I do sure, but I never feel alone, and that is the whole thing, because I pray a great deal, and when I pray I feel good. I feel good because I'm one with myself, I am no longer longing for something outside of me, I'm no longer needing anything, I am complete. And then when I look around me, I see people and animals and nature, and they are I am, there's nothing separate. 有时人们会问我：「Burt，你一个人住，难道你不觉得孤单吗？不渴望陪伴吗？」 嗯，是的，的确是这样，但我从未觉得孤单，就是这么一回事，因为我大量的祈祷，而当我祈祷时，我感觉很好。 我感觉好，是因为我与自己合一，我不再向往在我之外的任何东西，我不再需要任何东西，我是完整的。然后，当我环顾四周，我看到人、动物和自然，他们就是「我是」，没有什么是分裂的。 So, I leave you with this. If you begin to get this, you're wonderful. Many blessings.I am. Thank you 所以，我留给你们这个（视频分享）。如果你开始明白这个，会是多么美妙啊！衷心祝福。「我是」。谢谢！ By Burt Harding

A letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter: about The Universal Force which is LOVE

In the late 1980s, Lieserl, the daughter of the famous genius, donated 1,400 letters, written by Einstein, to the Hebrew University, with orders not to publish their contents until two decades after his death. This is one of them, for Lieserl Einstein.More can be found about Lieserl here

…”When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.
I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.
There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us.

This universal force is LOVE.
When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force.

Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it.
Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others.

Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals.

For love we live and die.
Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation.

If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.
After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.
Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.

However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.
When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.

I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it’s too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer! “.

Your father Albert Einstein

Bigu Fasting Detox and 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/10/161003103237.htm

The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to award the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Yoshinori Ohsumi for his discoveries of mechanisms for autophagy.

Summary

This year's Nobel Laureate discovered and elucidated mechanisms underlying autophagy, a fundamental process for degrading and recycling cellular components.

The word autophagy originates from the Greek words auto-, meaning "self," and phagein, meaning "to eat". Thus,autophagy denotes "self eating." This concept emerged during the 1960's, when researchers first observed that the cell could destroy its own contents by enclosing it in membranes, forming sack-like vesicles that were transported to a recycling compartment, called the lysosome, for degradation. Difficulties in studying the phenomenon meant that little was known until, in a series of brilliant experiments in the early 1990's, Yoshinori Ohsumi used baker's yeast to identify genes essential for autophagy. He then went on to elucidate the underlying mechanisms for autophagy in yeast and showed that similar sophisticated machinery is used in our cells.

Ohsumi's discoveries led to a new paradigm in our understanding of how the cell recycles its content. His discoveries opened the path to understanding the fundamental importance of autophagy in many physiological processes, such as in the adaptation to starvation or response to infection. Mutations in autophagy genes can cause disease, and the autophagic process is involved in several conditions including cancer and neurological disease.

Degradation -- a central function in all living cells

In the mid 1950's scientists observed a new specialized cellular compartment, called an organelle, containing enzymes that digest proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. This specialized compartment is referred to as a "lysosome" and functions as a workstation for degradation of cellular constituents. The Belgian scientist Christian de Duve was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1974 for the discovery of the lysosome. New observations during the 1960's showed that large amounts of cellular content, and even whole organelles, could sometimes be found inside lysosomes. The cell therefore appeared to have a strategy for delivering large cargo to the lysosome. Further biochemical and microscopic analysis revealed a new type of vesicle transporting cellular cargo to the lysosome for degradation. Christian de Duve, the scientist behind the discovery of the lysosome, coined the term autophagy, "self-eating," to describe this process. The new vesicles were named autophagosomes.

During the 1970's and 1980's researchers focused on elucidating another system used to degrade proteins, namely the "proteasome." Within this research field Aaron Ciechanover, Avram Hershko and Irwin Rose were awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for "the discovery of ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation." The proteasome efficiently degrades proteins one-by-one, but this mechanism did not explain how the cell got rid of larger protein complexes and worn-out organelles. Could the process of autophagy be the answer and, if so, what were the mechanisms?

A groundbreaking experiment

Yoshinori Ohsumi had been active in various research areas, but upon starting his own lab in 1988, he focused his efforts on protein degradation in the vacuole, an organelle that corresponds to the lysosome in human cells. Yeast cells are relatively easy to study and consequently they are often used as a model for human cells. They are particularly useful for the identification of genes that are important in complex cellular pathways. But Ohsumi faced a major challenge; yeast cells are small and their inner structures are not easily distinguished under the microscope and thus he was uncertain whether autophagy even existed in this organism. Ohsumi reasoned that if he could disrupt the degradation process in the vacuole while the process of autophagy was active, then autophagosomes should accumulate within the vacuole and become visible under the microscope. He therefore cultured mutated yeast lacking vacuolar degradation enzymes and simultaneously stimulated autophagy by starving the cells. The results were striking! Within hours, the vacuoles were filled with small vesicles that had not been degraded. The vesicles were autophagosomes and Ohsumi's experiment proved that authophagy exists in yeast cells. But even more importantly, he now had a method to identify and characterize key genes involved this process. This was a major break-through and Ohsumi published the results in 1992.

Autophagy genes are discovered

Ohsumi now took advantage of his engineered yeast strains in which autophagosomes accumulated during starvation. This accumulation should not occur if genes important for autophagy were inactivated. Ohsumi exposed the yeast cells to a chemical that randomly introduced mutations in many genes, and then he induced autophagy. His strategy worked! Within a year of his discovery of autophagy in yeast, Ohsumi had identified the first genes essential for autophagy. In his subsequent series of elegant studies, the proteins encoded by these genes were functionally characterized. The results showed that autophagy is controlled by a cascade of proteins and protein complexes, each regulating a distinct stage of autophagosome initiation and formation.

Autophagy -- an essential mechanism in our cells

After the identification of the machinery for autophagy in yeast, a key question remained. Was there a corresponding mechanism to control this process in other organisms? Soon it became clear that virtually identical mechanisms operate in our own cells. The research tools required to investigate the importance of autophagy in humans were now available.

Thanks to Ohsumi and others following in his footsteps, we now know that autophagy controls important physiological functions where cellular components need to be degraded and recycled. Autophagy can rapidly provide fuel for energy and building blocks for renewal of cellular components, and is therefore essential for the cellular response to starvation and other types of stress. After infection, autophagy can eliminate invading intracellular bacteria and viruses. Autophagy contributes to embryo development and cell differentiation. Cells also use autophagy to eliminate damaged proteins and organelles, a quality control mechanism that is critical for counteracting the negative consequences of aging.

Disrupted autophagy has been linked to Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes and other disorders that appear in the elderly. Mutations in autophagy genes can cause genetic disease. Disturbances in the autophagic machinery have also been linked to cancer. Intense research is now ongoing to develop drugs that can target autophagy in various diseases.

Autophagy has been known for over 50 years but its fundamental importance in physiology and medicine was only recognized after Yoshinori Ohsumi's paradigm-shifting research in the 1990's. For his discoveries, he is awarded this year's Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.

Fill Your Own Cup With Love Energy First, Then Give From The Overflow.

Being aware of who you really are is the very start of inner peace, health and happiness. You are not your job, your success or failure, your status, your wealth, or your emotions. Please always remember you are born with the love energy from Creator Source. To discover your true self and live it out is the best thing you could ever do for yourself and for the world. Here I am to inspire you to cleanse your own cup and fill it with pure love energy from Creator Source. I assure you that you would be perfectly peaceful, healthy and happy if every cell in your body is awakened to love energy. All depends on when you are genuinely sincere about this.

The below is a good article about the importance of filling your cup first. I hope that you benefit from it.

Are you one of life's born givers? I suspect you are. And, much as you get joy from lifting up and loving the people around you, I also bet that sometimes you can get depleted, tired or resentful, or feel just a teensy bit taken for granted. If that sounds like you, then I have something for you today. How can life's natural givers find that elusive balance of give and take?

Firstly, please know that dialling down our natural instinct to please people is not about us becoming selfish biiiiatches, it's much more about knowing that when we consciously redress the balance, we actually have more to give but it comes from a different place - a place of service, not a place of guilt or resentment. So much better!

A concept I really admire on this is from author and speaker Lisa Nichols:

Don't keep serving people and giving, giving, giving from your cup. If you do that your cup gets empty real quick. Cue resentment, fatigue and depletion.

 You should fill your cup first. (You need what's in your cup. Need.) So you fill your cup, with things that replenish you. That might be exercise, or silence, nature, cross-stitch, bedtime stories, baking, boxing, colouring-in, clearing out, skiing or snoozing.

So you consciously fill your cup with things that lift your spirit and energise your body. And then you fill it a little more until it's literally overflowing.

And then you joyfully give to everyone else from the overflow. You give from the saucer, not the cup. Beautiful, yes?

When we keep giving from our own cup, we are giving away what we actually need. When we serve from the overflow we are giving from a place of abundance. The way we serve others and the world is elevated from that place. We have much more to give, and the supply is more stable. It comes from a place of plenty and not shortage, generosity rather than resentment.

Figure out what and who are your cup-fillers. Where do you find engagement, love, energy, support, and feel your cup filling? What elevates and replenishes you and leaves you ready to give with abandon? Where do you find yourself lost in the flow of the moment? When does time disappear? Which people leave you feeling high? What stimulates you? Where are you when you feel the knot of tension in your shoulders unwind? Who makes you belly-laugh?
