We are literally attempting to get in touch with the salvation of the world.

We are trying to let the veil be lifted, and to see the tears of God's Son disappear in the sunlight.
実際にそういう状況であるということを完全に実感したうえで、
Let us begin our longer practice period today with the full realization that this is so, and with real determination to reach what is dearer to us than all else.

Salvation is our only need.

Let us end the ancient search today by finding the light in us, and holding it up for everyone who searches with us to look upon and rejoice.
今、静かに目を閉じて、
Very quietly now, with your eyes closed, try to let go of all the content that generally occupies your consciousness.
あなたの心は広大な円で、
Think of your mind as a vast circle, surrounded by a layer of heavy, dark clouds.
あなたには雲しか見ることはできません。なぜなら、あなたはその円の外側に立っていて、
You can see only the clouds because you seem to be standing outside the circle and quite apart from it.

The clouds seem to be the only reality.
雲だけが見ることができるもののように見えます。
They seem to be all there is to see.

そうすることによってしか、
Therefore, you do not attempt to go through them and past them, which is the only way in which you would be really convinced of their lack of substance.
今日は、これをやってみることにしましょう。
We will make this attempt today.
あなた自身のために、そして、
After you have thought about the importance of what you are trying to do for yourself and the world, try to settle down in perfect stillness, remembering only how much you want to reach the light in you today,–now!

Determine to go past the clouds.

前進を続けてください。雲にはあなたを止めることはできません。
Go on; clouds cannot stop you.
この練習を適切にやっていれば、
If you are doing the exercises properly, you will begin to feel a sense of being lifted up and carried ahead.
あなたのわずかな努力とささやかな決意が、
Your little effort and small determination call on the power of the universe to help you, and God Himself will raise you from darkness into light.

あなたは「父なる神」の答えをまだ認識できないかもしれません。しかし、答えは与えられており、
You may not recognize His answer yet, but you can indeed be sure that it is given you and you will yet receive it.
雲の間を通り抜けて光にたどり着こうとしながら、
Try, as you attempt to go through the clouds to the light, to hold this confidence in your mind.
あなたの意志を遂に「神の意志」
Try to remember that you are at last joining your will to God's.
あなたが「神」
Try to keep the thought clearly in mind that what you undertake with God must succeed.
それから、「神の意志」とあなたの意志が達成されるように、「

短めの練習の中で、
In the shorter practice periods, which you will want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of today's idea to you and your happiness, remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the light of the world from your awareness.
同時に、あなたはそれを一人で探しているのではないということ、
Remind yourself also that you are not searching for it alone, and that you do know where to look for it.
それから、次の言葉を言います。
Say, then:

My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
私が何を隠したのか私には見えません。
I cannot see what I have hidden.
しかし、

Yet I want to let it be revealed to me, for my salvation and the salvation of the world.
また、今日、誰かに対して不満を抱く誘惑に駆られたならば、
Also, be sure to tell yourself:
私がこの不平不満を抱いていれば、
If I hold this grievance the light of the world will be hidden from me,
if you are tempted to hold anything against anyone today.
