St. Paul asked in 1 Corinthians: “Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” and “Don’tyou know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, whichyou have from God?” In 2 Corinthians he comes right out and says it plainly:“We are a temple of the living God; even as God said, ‘I will dwell in them,and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.’”

使徒保羅在哥林多前書中說：“豈不知道你們是神的殿，神的靈住在你們裏頭嗎？”還有，“豈不知你們的身子就是聖靈的殿嗎？這聖靈是從神而來，住在你們裏頭的。”在哥林多後書中，他站出來明白地說，“因為我們是永生神的殿，就如神曾說:‘我要在他們中間居住，在他們中間來往；我要做他們的神，他們要做我的子民。’”

The disciple John hints at this when he recounts in his gospel an event whenJesus was in the great temple in Jerusalem and was asked to show the people a sign. “Jesus answeredthem, ‘Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.’ The peopleat the temple said, ‘Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will youraise it up in three days?’ But he spoke of the temple of his body.”

 

門徒約翰在他的福音書中提示到，當耶穌在耶路撒冷的聖殿中，被要求顯個神跡。“耶穌回答說，‘你們拆毀這殿，我三日內要在建立起來。’殿裏人說，‘這殿是四十六年才造成的，你三日內就再建立起來嗎？’但耶穌這話，是以他的身體為殿。”

From Edgar Cayce’s attunement to the Universal Consciousness, he too saw andtaught that our bodies are more than physical vehicles for living in thisworld. Here are five brief excerpts:

從愛德加•凱西對普遍意識(UniversalConsciousness)的調諧中，他也看到並教導說，我們的身體不僅僅是物理的、為在這個世界生存的機器。這裏有五個簡短的摘錄：

“Know that your body is the temple of the living God; there you may seekcommunion. There you may seek counsel as to the choices to be made, thedirections to be taken.”

“了解你的身體是真實神的殿；在那裏你可以尋找聯合。在那裏你可以尋求勸告就如你做的選擇，你的方向。”

“He has promised. ‘If you will but open the door of your consciousness, ofyour heart, I will enter and abide with you.’ This is not a fancy; this is nothearsay. You may experience such. For it is the law, it is the way, it is LIFEitself!”

“祂承諾，‘如果你打開你意識的門，你的心，我就會進來並居住。’這不是神話；也不是風聞。你可以經曆祂。因為這是律法，這是道路，這就是生命本身！”

“Seek and you shall find. Not without but from within. For in thine own temple He has promised to meet you.”

“尋找，你就尋見。不在外麵而在裏麵。因為在你的殿裏祂應諾見你。”

“All that you may learn of the Father God is already within self. For yourbody is indeed the temple of the living God, and as you meet Him there you maygain in your own consciousness the satisfaction of walking and talking withHim. When these consciousnesses are yours and you are one with Him, then indeedmay you see that the kingdom of heaven dwells within.”

“所有你可以學到的關於天父上帝已經在己裏。因為你的身體事實上就是永活的神的殿，而且當你在那裏見到祂的麵，你可以得到在你意識中的和祂行走，和祂說話的喜樂，本質上，你可以看到天國就在裏麵。”

“This is a promise to you, to each soul; yet each soul must of itself findthat answer within self. For indeed the body is the temple of the living God.There He has promised to meet you; there He does. And as your body, your mind,your soul is attuned to that divine that answers within, so may you indeed bequickened to know His purpose; and you may fill that purpose for which youentered this experience.”

“這是對你，對每個靈魂的一個承諾；但是每個靈魂必須在己內找到答案。真正的意義上，身體就是永活神的殿。那裏祂允諾見你，並且祂必定見你。當你的身體，意識，靈魂都調諧到那樣神聖時，答案就在裏麵，所以你可以很快知道祂的目的；而且你可以經曆試煉來達到目的。”
