我们多数人都身陷冲突漩涡，过着矛盾重重的生活，外在生活、内心世界无不如此。矛盾，意味着你必须努力，凡费心尽力处，必有能量浪费；凡有矛盾处，必有冲突；凡有冲突处，你必须努力战胜冲突——其实是抗拒现实；凡有抗拒处，也会产生某种能量——当你抗拒某事物时，抗拒心本身的确能滋生能量。

我们的一切行为都根基于理想（I must）与现实（I must not）的冲突，这种抗拒、冲突的确能产生能量，但如果细致观察，你会发现这种能量是一种破坏力，而不是创造力。多数人都身陷矛盾中，如果他们有写作、绘画等天赋，而内在冲突的张力为他们赋予能量，去表达、去创造、去写作、去生存；内在冲突越强烈，则作品越伟大，这就是我们所谓的创作。但这根本不是真正的创造，而只是内在冲突的产物。当我们面对真实的矛盾与冲突时，反而能产生某种高品质的能量，这种能量是冲突抗拒心所不能孳生的。

Where There Is Contradiction There Is Conflict

You see that most of us are in conflict, live a life of contradiction, not only outwardly, but also inwardly. Contradiction implies effort…. Where there is effort, there is wastage—there is a waste of energy. Where there is contradiction, there is conflict. Where there is conflict, there is effort to get over that conflict—which is another form of resistance. And where you resist, there is also a certain form of energy engendered—you know that when you resist something, that very resistance creates energy….

All action is based on this friction that I must and I must not. And this form of resistance, this form of conflict, does breed energy; but that energy, if you observe very closely, is very destructive; it is not creative…. Most people are in contradiction. And if they have a gift, a talent to write or to paint or to do this or that, the tension of that contradiction gives them the energy to express, to create, to write, to be. The more the tension, the greater the conflict, the greater is the output, and that is what we call creation. But it is not at all creation. It is the result of conflict. To face the fact that you are in conflict, that you are in contradiction, will bring that quality of energy that is not the outcome of resistance.
