Our posturing , our imagined self - importance , the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe , are challenged by this point of pale light 我们自己造成的心境，自己想像出来的自以为很重要的心态，自以为在宇宙中很重要的谬见和妄念，就遭到这苍白小点的影像的质疑了。
No matter what mental , emotional or physical condition is being imposed on me , whether real or imagined , my privileged duty is to meditate , attend the center , and keep my vows 不管我精神上情感上或身体上的情况如何，也不论这些情形是真实的或是想像出来的，我首要之务就是打坐共修和持戒。
While all of this may seem like reductionist science attempting to provide rational explanations for phenomena it does not understand , there is acknowledgement by some that neural activity alone is not proof of these experiences being imagined by the brain 这些理论似乎是利用简化的科学，试图为那些科学界还无法了解的现象进行合理的解释，不过，有一些科学家也承认，单单藉由脑神经的活动，并不足以证实那些灵性体验是由大脑想像出来的。
If you dont have a deity that you already like , you can create one in your mind - as a deity , a monk , a woman and so on . after a long period of practice , these imaginary personages will become real . and each has a reality and a personality of his or her own 如果你没有自己喜欢的神，也可以在心里想像出一个神，或是一个和尚女众等等，经过长时间的练习之后，这个想像的人物就会变成真的，不但很真实，而且有自己的个性，如果你没有足够的力量去控制这个想像出来的幻觉，有时候就会受到它的伤害。
