9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 11 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
9 因此,我们自从听见的日子,也就为你们不住的祷告祈求,愿你们在一切 属灵的智慧悟性上,满心知道 神的旨意。10 好叫你们行事为人对得起主, 凡事蒙他喜悦,在一切善事上结果子,渐渐的多知道 神。11 照他荣耀的 权能,得以在各样的力上加力,好叫你们凡事欢欢喜喜的忍耐宽容。12 又 感谢父,叫我们能与众圣徒在光明中同得基业。13 他救了我们脱离黑暗的 权势,把我们迁到他爱子的国里。14 我们在爱子里得蒙救赎,罪过得以赦 免。
Help others to fully know God’s will; So that they will live in a way that is worthy; Pleasing God, bearing fruit, and knowing God better. Help others to joyfully and patiently endure With God’s kind of strength and power Because of all that God has done in saving then.
帮助人完全明白上帝的旨意; 这样他们就可以有意义的生活; 讨 神喜悦、多结果子、多认识 神。 用 神的力量与大能 帮助人欢喜忍受、恒久忍耐 因为上帝在救赎中已经成就了。
Understanding Life Biblically 从圣经角度理解生命
Some simple models to help the counselor and the counselee understand life Biblically. While they are neither exhaustive nor comprehensive, they are intended to explain in such a way that you can Scripturally interpret what is going on.
下面几个简单模型可以帮助辅导者与被辅导者从圣经的角度来理解生命。虽然它们既不 详细又不综合,却试图用一种方法来帮你从圣经的角度来诠释所发生的。
These models are developed from the root, tree and fruit metaphors that are often used in the Scriptures. I am indebted to Dave Powlison and Paul Tripp for the basic ideas.
这些模型中根、树及果子,其隐喻都在圣经中用到。这些观点我是受 Dave Powlison 和 Paul Tripp 的启发得到的。
Primary Scriptures 基要经文
Jeremiah 17:5-10 and Psalm 1 耶 17:5-10、诗 1
5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. 6 He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. 7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. 8 He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? 10 “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
5 耶和华如此说,倚靠人血肉的膀臂,心中离弃耶和华的,那人有祸了。 6 因他必像沙漠的杜松,不见福乐来到,却要住旷野乾旱之处,无人居住 的硷地。 7 倚靠耶和华,以耶和华为可靠的,那人有福了。 8 他必像树栽于水旁,在河边扎根,炎热来到,并不惧怕,叶子仍必青翠, 在乾旱之年毫无挂虑,而且结果不止。9 人心比万物都诡诈,坏到极处,谁能识透呢? 10 我耶和华是鉴察人心,试验人肺腑的,要照各人所行的和他作事的 结果报应他。

3 神的 神能已经将一切关乎生命和虔敬的事赐给我们,皆因我们认识那用自己荣耀和美德召我们的主。4 因此他已将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们,叫我们既脱离世上从情欲来的败坏,就得与 神的性情有分。5 正因这缘故,你们要分外的殷勤。有了信心,又要加上德行。有了德行,又要加上知识。

How it shapes the counselor (v.10-11)圣经如何塑造辅导者 (10-11 节)
10 You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11 my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me.
10 但你已经服从了我的教训,品行,志向,信心,宽容,爱心,忍耐,11以及我在安提阿,以哥念,路司得,所遭遇的逼迫,苦难。我所忍受是何等的逼迫。但从这一切苦难中主都把我救出来了。
Counselees are sufferers and strugglers.被辅导者是受害者与争战者
Counselors are suffers and strugglers.辅导者是位受害者与争战者
People in the Bible are sufferers and strugglers 圣经中的人是受害者与争战者
Here is an unchanging point of contact for all three.对以上三者来说,这是一个不变的连接点
Why the counselor needs it (v.12-13)辅导者为何需要圣经(12-13 节)
In the Bible, the Christian counselor has an explanation for some of the great questions people struggle with:
在圣经里面,基督徒辅导者对人们与之争战的很多问题都可以找到一个解释。
12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
12 不但如此,凡立志在基督耶稣里敬虔度日的,也都要受逼迫。13 只是作恶的,和迷惑人的,必越久越恶,他欺哄人也被人欺哄。
We understand deep seated desires to be pleasing to God.我们知道自己从内心深处渴望讨 神喜悦.
We understand that people will be sinned against.我们知道人会犯罪得罪.
Biblical counseling has a clear explanation for why we suffer at the hands of others.
圣经辅导对我们在别人手中受苦的原因有一个清晰的解释.
Biblical counseling calls people to a godly response to being sinned against
圣经辅导号召人们在犯罪中有一个虔诚的回应.
Biblical counseling sees suffering, even at the hands of evil people, as being under God’s sovereign control.
圣经辅导看到,苦难,即使是在恶人的手中,也同样在 神主权掌控之中.
Biblical counseling connects that kind of suffering with Jesus’ suffering.
圣经辅导把此类苦难与耶稣所遭受的苦难联系在一起.
We understand how evil came to be, the horrific damage it has done, how God has limited it and controlled and finally how He has defeated it and will eventually eradicate it.
我们知道罪是如何来的,它给我们的可怕伤害, 神如何限制它、管辖它、如何击败它并 且最后灭绝它.
We understand how vulnerable we are to lies and to being deceived.
知道我们是在撒谎与被欺骗的面前是多么的脆弱.
So we need the Word of God to give us God’s interpretation of the world, of our situations and of us. He has made it, He has given it meaning and He has communicated that meaning to us in His Word (Francis Schaffer)
因此我们需要 神的道,就上帝对这个世界、我们的处境以及我们自己做一个诠释。祂创造了世界、赋予它存在的意义,并藉着祂的道把这意义传达给了我们(Francis Schaffer)。
What it requires of the counselor (v.14-15)圣经对辅导者的要求(14-15 节)
The Bible itself makes deep demands of the counselor. Note them here.
圣经本身对辅导者做了很严格的要求,先录于此:
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
14但你所学习的,所确信的,要存在心里。因为你知道是跟谁学的。15并且知道你是从小明白圣经。这圣经能使你因信基督耶稣有得救的智慧。

Commitment to the truth of the Scripture 持守圣经真理
While there is disagreement among Christian counselors as to the value and use of truth in the world, there must be no disagreement about the truth in the Bible. The Scriptures are the unfailing, without error, authoritative source of God’s self-disclosure.
虽然基督徒就真理在今生的价值与应用方面意见不同,但对圣经的真理性却无异议。圣经经文是 神在呈现自我中经久不衰地、毫无差错的、权威的来源。
Carefulness over who we are learning the Scripture from 谨慎经文传授者
The Bible calls us and warns us to be careful of our teachers. Who is teaching us the Bible? This is not about their degrees, their certifications, their education – it is about their Christian character and conduct.
圣经号召并提醒我们要当心我们的教师。谁在教授我们圣经?这不关乎他们的学位、资质、教育水平——而在于所具有的基督徒的品性与行为。
Dependence on the Scripture to do the work 靠圣经做神工
Do you believe that the Bible is able? This is not just ability to bring people to be saved. That is not what this says. It is able to make us wise in all that salvation means and brings through faith in Christ.
你相信圣经有能力吗?它不只是有使人得救的能力。在这里,它使我们在救恩层面得着智慧并在基督身上得着信心。
How it equips the counselor (v.16-17)如何用圣经装备辅导者(16-17 节)
Why is this so? Because of the nature, supremacy, authority and sufficiency of the Scripture.
为何要用圣经装备辅导者?原因在于圣经的特性、至高无上性、权威性与充分性。
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
16 圣经都是 神所默示的,(或作凡 神默示的圣经)于教训,督责,使人归正,教导人学义,都是有益的。17 叫属 神的人得以完全,预备行各样的善事。
In its Source 在圣经源头方面
It is the Scripture, the Bible, the Word of God that is the only inspired, inerrant, infallible revelation. I am going to say this as kindly as I know how: any counselor and any counseling that does not formally and functionally affirm this cannot be Christian.
圣经,作为 神的话是惟一受鼓舞、毫无错误、绝对可靠的启示。我尽可能用最温柔的语言告诉你们我所知道的:
-
It reveals the wrath of God and coming judgment
任何一位辅导者、任何一项案例辅导不在形式上及功 能上对圣经加以肯定就不是基督徒。
What about the revelation of God in creation? Consider ROMANS 1:18-23:
神在创造中的启示是怎样的呢?思考罗1:18-23 神的启示显明了上帝的愤怒与将要来的审判
-
It renders all people without excuse 神的启示叫所有人无可推诿
-
It is mediated through creation but does not reveal anything about the creation
-
神虽藉创造物启示却不显明任何关于创造的事情。
-
It is suppressed and is substituted by people 神的启示被世人压制、取代
-
It is disobeyed and denied by people 世人悖逆、拒绝 神的启示
-
I am going to close with Psalm 19. 以诗篇 19 作为结束
-
In its Utility 在圣经功用方面
-
The Bible is generally and specifically useful for all Christian life and ministry.
-
圣经对于所有基督徒的生活与事工都有着普遍和特定的功用。
-
In its Use 在圣经使用方面
-
The Bible is useful in the full scope of dealing with people. These four categories seem to specifically deal with areas we associate now with counseling.
-
圣经在大范围处理与人的关系上是非常有用的。以下四类是处理我们现在与辅导相 关的具体范围:
-
Teaching – the source, object and the means of instructing people
教导——指导人的来源、目标、方法
Title 应用于要在此处显示的文字。
Reproof – the reasons and the way to confront people 责备——与人对质的理由与方法
Correction – the practical steps necessary for being pleasing to God
纠正——为讨 神喜悦而采取的必要性、可行性措施
Instruction in Righteousness – content necessary for a holy life before God.
在义中指教——在 神面前过圣洁生活所必需的内容
While there is some usefulness in knowledge that comes from the world, there is no knowledge necessary for Christian counseling outside of the Scripture. Yes, we can know much more about how the body functions from general knowledge – but it can tell us little about how the soul functions. It can tell us nothing about the most important relationship a person has, the relationship with Christ.
世上虽然有很多有用的知识,但对于基督徒的辅导来说圣经之外并没有有用的知识。 确实是这样,我们可以从常识中获取很多关于人体机能的知识,但在灵魂机能方面 却知之甚少。一个人所拥有的最重要的关系——与基督的关系,这是一般的知识不 能告诉我们的。
In its Purpose 在圣经旨意方面
The Bible makes the Christian competent. Our English translations struggle with the Greek word here. Perfect here means complete, competent, meeting the design specifications. The Bible is what makes the Christian competent in Christian ministry.
圣经使基督徒满有能力。英文翻译与希腊文的较量就在此。“完美”这里的意思是 彻底的、有能力的、符合规范的。圣经就是让基督徒在事工中满有能力。
In its Product 在圣经果效方面
The Bible can fully equip a person for every good work. The Bible can fully equip a person for the good work of Christian counseling.
圣经能够在每一项善工上完全装备一个人。 圣经能够在基督徒辅导这项善工上完全装备一个人。

Our text PSALM 19 诗 19 篇
The Scope of Revelation in Creation (v.1-6) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
创造中的启示范围(1-6 节) 诸天述说 神的荣耀,穹苍传扬他的手段。 这日到那日发出言语。这夜到那夜传出知识。 无言无语,也无声音可听。 他的量带通遍天下,他的言语传到地极。 神在其间为太阳安设帐幕。 太阳如同新郎出洞房,又如勇士欢然奔路。 他从天这边出来,绕到天那边。没有一物被隐藏不得他的热气。
The Character and Use of Revelation in Scripture (v. 7-9) The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
经文中启示的特点与运用(7-9 节) 耶和华的律法全备,能苏醒人心。耶和华的法度确定,能使愚人有智慧。 耶和华的训词正直,能快活人心。耶和华的命令清洁,能明亮人的眼目。 耶和华的道理洁净,存到永远。耶和华的典章真实,全然公义。
Our Responsibility to the Scripture (v. 10-13) More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
我们对经文的回应(10-13 节) 都比金子可羡慕,且比极多的精金可羡慕。比蜜甘甜,且比蜂房下滴的蜜甘 甜。 况且你的仆人因此受警戒。守着这些便有大赏。 谁能知道自己的错失呢?愿你赦免我隐而未现的过错。 求你拦阻仆人,不犯任意妄为的罪。不容这罪辖制我。我便完全,免犯大罪。
Our Prayer in the Light of the Scriptures (v. 14) Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
在经文亮光中的祷告(14 节) 耶和华我的磐石,我的救赎主阿,愿我口中的言语,心中的意念,在你面 前蒙悦纳。 28Foundations of Biblical Counseling 圣经辅导基础 | 错误!使用“开始”选项卡将 Title 应用于要在此处显示的文字。

Through Christ-centered counseling, people will be brought to greater maturity.
通过以基督为中心的辅导,可以使人更成熟。
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.
24 现在我为你们受苦,倒觉欢乐,并且为基督的身体,就是为教会,要在我肉身上补满基督患难的缺欠。25 我照 神为你们所赐我的职分,作了教会的执事,要把 神的道理传得全备。26 这道理就是历世历代所隐藏的奥秘,但如今向他的圣徒显明了。27 神愿意叫他们知道,这奥秘在外邦人中有何等丰盛的荣耀。就是基督在你们心里成了有荣耀的盼望。28 我们传扬他,是用诸般的智慧,劝戒各人,教导各人。要把各人在基督里完完全全的引到 神面前。29 我也为此劳苦,照着他在我里面运用的大能,尽心竭力。
The Example for Us 为我们作的榜样(24-25 节) (v.24-25)
Paul is an example for us. He models what it means to suffer (v.24) and to serve (v.25).
保罗是我们的榜样。他向我们展示了受苦意味着什么(24 节)、服事意味着什么(25 节)。
The suffering and serving is aimed at making God’s Word more fully known. This has two aspects that are important for us. We are to spread the Word to more people. We are to be sure that people know more of what the Word says.
受苦与服事的目的是让 神的道为更多人所知。这里,有两方面对于我们很重要:我们要把道传给更多的人;我们要确保人们知道更多的道。
The Explanation to Us 向我们作的解释(26-27 节) (v.26-27)
Christ indwells His church. The people of God are the new temple. This was a mystery to the Old Testament saints. We, you and I, are the living stones becoming the dwelling place of God. Each person you deal with is either a possible future living stone through conversion or is presently part of that habitation.
基督居住在祂的教会里面。上帝的子民是新的殿宇。这在旧约中是个奥秘。我们——你和我成为上帝居所的活石。与你打交道的每一个人要么是通过信仰转变成为一块将来的活石,要么目前是这居所的一部分。
Why does this matter? Because it is the core of our hope. At the core of Biblical counseling is not just coping skills. It is teaching your counselee to live in the present mess in view of our future glory. This is part of the meaning of life. This is not merely an escape into a vague, illusionary luminous light of a dimly understood future existence. It is the brilliant, presently illuminating
为什么会这样呢?因为这是我们希望的核心。圣经辅导的核心不仅仅是应对的技能。它教导你的受辅者(咨询者)以我们将来荣耀的角度来看目前在混乱状态中的生活。这是生命意义的一部分。这不仅仅是躲避到一个朦胧理解未来存在的一个模糊的、充满幻觉的亮光之中,更是在当前明亮地呈现着的。
The Goal for Us 为我们设的目标(28 节) (v.28)
Do you see the goal that is established for Christian ministry including counseling? Our goal is to present everyone mature in Christ. So this is an important question for you. Is your counseling working to present people mature in Christ?
你知道为基督徒宣教事工设定的目标中包含辅导吗?我们的目标是要把各人在基督里完完全全的引到 神面前。因此,下面的问题对你来说很重要:你的辅导工作是否把各人在基督里完完全全的引到 神面前?
Biblical counseling in the market place, in the professional setting, will seek to be a gateway, a doorway that opens God’s kingdom for unbelieving people to become “in Christ”. Then they have started on the journey to maturity.
圣经辅导在市场、专业设置中为不信者打开 神的国从而 “在基督里”开辟了一条途径。之后,他们就开始踏上成熟之路了。
Biblical counseling in the church, in the pastoral setting, will seek to helppeople become who God has said they are. It is working to Christian maturity. In China, this is often expressed in terms of Christian wholeness.
圣经辅导在教会、牧师设置中将试图帮助人们成为上帝所说的人。这是个让基督徒成熟的工作。在中国,圣经辅导经常以基督徒整体性的形式表达。
God does not divorce the means from the end. If this is our goal, then there is a God-ordained means to that goal. It is word ministry. It is speaking ministry. It is warning and teaching. It is done with spiritual wisdom. It is truth spoken in love. 11Foundations of Biblical Counseling
圣经辅导基础 上帝不会使这种方式(即辅导)与终结(最终的救恩?)脱离。如果这是我们的目标,那么上帝就会命定一个该目标的实现方式。这是一个语言的事工、传讲的事工;既警告又教导;由灵性智慧做工,在爱中说诚实话。
But God also establishes the content of speaking – “Him we proclaim.” Christ is at the center of what we say. We have insights. We have principles. We have commands. We have who we are and what we are to do. But the ultimate message and goal in all Christian ministry is to bring people into a loving and living relationship with Christ. We are bringing people to Christ.
但是上帝同时确立传讲的内容——“我们所传的是祂”。基督是我们传扬的中心。我们要有洞察力、有原则、有诫命。我们要有我们所是的、所做的。但基督徒所有事工的最终信息和目标就是把人融入到和基督有一个满有爱心、活泼的关系当中。我们要把人带到基督面前。
Now, I want to draw a line for us. Christian counseling that is merely helping people cope with the hardships of life without connecting people to Christ is doing mercy ministry. It is OK. It is like handing out clothes or giving a meal to the homeless. It is a point of contact. But if that is all we are doing, then we are at best merely providing a social service that alleviates mercy. But it is not Christian ministry.
现在,我想为你们划一界限。仅仅帮助人们去处理生活中的难处而没有与基督发生关系的基督徒辅导只是一个慈善事工而已。这也不错,就如同把衣服或者饭菜施舍给无家可归的人。这是接触的一点。但是,如果这是我们所做的一切,那么我们最多也只是提供一个缓解怜悯的社会公益服务。毕竟这不是基督徒事工。
The Power in Us 我们身上的能力(29 节) (v.29)
We are struggling in the hard work of glorifying God through our ministry.God is working in and through us to strengthen and sustain us in that struggle.
我们通过此事工努力工作来荣耀上帝。在这争战中,上帝在我们里面并藉着我们来坚固、保守我们。
Through Christ-centered counseling, people will be brought to greater maturity.
通过以基督为中心的辅导,人们将会更加成熟。
The Center of Christian Knowledge (v.1-5) 基督徒知识的中心 (第 1-5 节)
Through Christian counseling’s use of the truths of Christ’s person and work, people will be able to understand true wisdom and reject false wisdoms.
通过基督徒辅导在属基督的人和事上对真理的应用,人们能够明白真智慧、弃绝假知识。
1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments. 5 For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
1 我愿意你们晓得我为你们和老底嘉人,并一切没有与我亲自见面的人,是何等的尽心竭力。2 要叫他们的心得安慰,因爱心互相联络,以致丰丰足足在悟性中有充足的信心,使他们真知道 神的奥秘,就是基督。3 所积蓄的一切智慧知识,都在他里面藏着。4 我说这话,免得有人用花言巧语迷惑你们。5 我身子虽与你们相离,心却与你们同在,见你们循规蹈矩,信基督的 心也坚固,我就欢喜了。
A Worthy Purpose 一个满有价值的目标(第 1-2 节) (v.1-2)
Here is how that struggle worked out with Paul – he was involved with people inface-to-face ministry and in prayer.
这里,在保罗身上看出他是何等的尽心竭力——在面对面的侍奉与祷告当中与这些人保持联系。
A Glorious Person 一个满有荣耀的人(第 2-3 节) (v.2-3)
He is working to bring about a full and practical knowledge of Christ so that they are encouraged, unified and confident in the troubles surrounding them.
他的事工是把基督那全备、可行的知识带来,这样他们就可以在困苦的环境中被激励、合一、充满信心。
A Dangerous Problem 一个充满危险的问题(第 4 节) (v.4)
But there are people who will try to persuade them differently. I want to pause hereand think about this a bit:
但是有人用不同的意见来劝说他们。在这里我想暂停一下来思考这个问题:
There are people who attempt to argue against the centrality of Christ inall things, particularly in Christian meaning, ministry and maturity.
有人试图反对基督在一切事上,特别是在基督徒的意义、事工及成熟上的中心性。
These people present persuasive arguments for their case. The argumentsmay be:
这些人为他们的理由陈述了很有说服力的论据。这些论据可能是:
Philosophi cal Argued from a world view that challenges the truth of the Bible Scientific Materialistic arguments using scientific data. In the counseling field this is often done using a medical model. Religious Arguments that use other texts of Scripture or theological constructs to counter the truth of Christ’s centrality Narratives Arguments from people’s stories that put you in a position to be arguing against the experience of people. Rhetorical Arguments using cleverly constructed logic to counter clearly stated truths.
哲学上 以世界观的角度来挑战圣经真理 科学上 唯物论运用科学数据。在辅导领域中常用医疗模式数据整合 宗教上 使用圣经中其它与基督的中心性正好相反经文或神学架构作论点 叙事上 从人们的故事中,把你放在一个位置与人们的经历争辩 修辞上 使用巧妙的构造逻辑来反对清晰阐明的真理
These arguments are deceptive and will attempt to delude (deceive, cheat, mislead, dupe, con) God’s people.
这些论点是很有迷惑性的,企图迷惑(蒙蔽、欺骗、误导、诓骗、欺诈)上帝的子 民。
A Settled People 一群坚固的人们(第 5 节) (v.5)
We must rejoice in and affirm when:我们要欢喜并肯定当:
People are well instructed in the truths of the Scriptures;人们在圣经真理中得到很好的教导。
People believe firmly and immovably in the truths of the Scriptures.
人们在圣经的真理中信仰坚固、信心稳固。

Through Christian counseling’s use of the truths of Christ’s person and work, people will be able to understand true wisdom and reject false wisdoms.
通过基督徒辅导在属基督的人和事上对真理的应用,人们能够明白真智慧、弃绝假知识。
The Object of Christian Faith (v.6-7)基督徒信心的目标 (6-7 节)
Through Christian counseling, people will be taught to believe in Christ in an obeyingway so as to be full of gratitude.
通过基督徒辅导,人们学会以顺服的方式在基督中信靠,这样就会充满感恩。
6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
6 你们既然接受了主基督耶稣,就当遵他而行。在他里面生根建造,信心坚固,正如你们所领的教训,感谢的心也更增长了。

Through Christian counseling, people will be taught to believe in Christ in an obeying way so as to be full of gratitude.
通过基督徒辅导,人们学会以顺服的方式在基督中信靠,这样就会充满感恩
The Provider of Christian Reality (v.8-15)基督徒现实的供应者(8-15 节)
Why is this so? Because Christ is the one who brings us all that it means to be Christians.
为什么会这样呢?因为基督就是把所有成为基督徒的方法带给我们的那位。
Through Christian counseling, people will come to live according to who they are in Christ and what Christ has done for them.
通过基督徒辅导,人们将按照他们在基督中的样式以及基督为他们所作的去生活。
8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
8 你们要谨慎,恐怕有人用他的理学,和虚空的妄言,不照着基督,乃照人间的遗传,和世上的小学,就把你们掳去。9 因为 神本性一切的丰盛,都有形有体的居住在基督里面。10 你们在他里面也得了丰盛。他是各样执政掌权者的元首。11 你们在他里面,也受了不是人手所行的割礼,乃是基督使你们脱去肉体情欲的割礼。12 你们既受洗与他一同埋葬,也就在此与他一同复活。都因信那叫他从死里复活神的功用。13 你们从前在过犯,和未受割礼的肉体中死了, 神赦免了你们(或作我们)一切过犯,便叫你们与基督一同活过来。14 又涂抹了在律例上所写,攻击我们有碍于我们的字据,把他撤去,钉在十字架上。15 既将一切执政的掌权的掳来,明显给众人看,就仗着十字架夸胜。 ·
Avoid False Substitutes(v.8) 避免虚假的替代品(8节 ) (代替品有真假之分?)
We are in danger if we accept false substitutes that are not accord with Christ. He is he criteria. He is the standard by which all religious systems, ideas, philosophies, psychologies, sciences and cultures are to be measured. In counseling people, our models and methods must all be measured against the person and work of Christ if it is going to be truly Christian.
如果我们接受与基督不相符的虚假替代品时,我们就会处在危险之中。基督是准绳, 是测量所有宗教体系、理念、哲学、心理学、科学、文化的标准。在我们辅导的人
Title 应用于要在此处显示的文字。
群中,如果他们中间有成为真基督徒的,那么我们的治疗模式与方法就必须以基督及祂所作的工为标准。
Accept Christ’s Description of You (v.9-10)接受基督对你的描述(9-10 节)
So, we are to help people accept and live out their identity in Christ. The Spirit through the Word tells us who we are. He tells us what has been done for us, in us and will be completed in us over our lives. Our old selves and the world system tries to give us a different identity.
这样,我们帮助别人去接受基督并活出在基督里的身份。圣灵藉着道告诉我们是谁、 祂在我们生命中为我们、在我们里面所做的以及将要在我们里面所成就的。我们的 老我和世界价值体系试图强加给我们另外一个与之不同的身份。
For example, we should help people who struggle with afflictions not to “be” their affliction. Help people to affirm, “I have bi-polar, not I am bi-polar.” Teach them to say, “ I am one of God’s children who in this world with all its fallenness and curse, struggle with ”. We do not say, “I am migraine.” This reminds us that who we are is to be lived out even when we struggle with issues.
例如,我们应该帮助那些与苦难争战而对他们来说却“不是”苦难的人。要帮助他 们承认:“我有两级倾向,但我不是两级倾向的人”(注:bipolar【精神病学】 (情感)两极性的,躁狂和抑郁状态交替的)。教会他们去说:“我是上帝的孩子,在 充斥堕落、咒诅的世界上与争战”。我们不要说:“我患有偏头痛。”这样, 当我们与这些问题争战的时候就会提醒我们要活出我们自己原本的样式(who we are)。
Affirm Christ’s Work for You (v.11-15)确信基督为你所做的工(11-15 节)
We are to help people believe in what Christ has done for them and is doing in them. At no point can the issue they are struggling with be used to deny either the saving or transforming work the Spirit is doing in their lives through the Word of God.
我们要帮助人们坚信基督已经为他们所做的以及正在他们身上所做的工作。对于圣灵藉着 神的道在他们的生命中所做的挽回或改变的工作,他们所争战的问题绝不会否认。
Through Christian counseling, people will come to live according to who they are in Christ and what Christ has done for them.
通过基督徒辅导,人们将按照他们在基督中的样式以及基督为他们所作的去生活。
Think about this 想一想
How this affects a Christian counselor working with an unbeliever.这对一个基督徒辅导非信徒会产生怎么的影响.
The reality the Bible describes is simply true . The universe, the world, people are as the Bible says they are, whether they believe it or not. This is a great strength for Christian counselors. We can lean across to people and actually speak truth in love. So do you?
圣经中所描述的现实非常正确。不管他们相信与否,宇宙、世界、人类确如圣经所说的。这对基督徒辅导者来说是个莫大的力量。我们可以接近人群并在爱中传说真理。那么你呢?
How this redefines what we are trying to accomplish对我们所努力完成的工作应如何重新定义/解释?
Interpret a person’s world 了解这个人的世界
Install faith, that is, an obeying belief 建立信心,即顺服的信靠
Develop Christ-like maturity 长成基督的身量
Warn against false ideas and practices 防备虚假的思想传统
This humbles us as we realize several important ideas:对下面几点的认识会使我们虚己:
There is no Christian triumphalism. We are not pretending that in this life we have solution to every issue of life. We do not (and no one does) have a full and final solution in this life. We simply have to learn to live pleasing to God even when our situation cannot be changed.
基督徒没有必胜论,不要假装我们在今世可以解决生命中的所有问题。在今世我们没有(别人也没有)一个完全且最终的解决方案。即便我们的境遇不能改变,我们也只不过是学着去过一种讨 神喜悦的生活,
Christian counseling is about a Person. Yes, there are practical modalities and methods to help people be pleasing to God in the midst of the mess. But we are to counsel in reference to Christ – to whether people believe and bow to the Lord.
基督徒辅导是关乎人的。确实有很多可行的模式与方法去帮助困境中的人来讨 神的喜悦。但我们的辅导是关乎基督的——确保人们是否相信并屈膝在主面前。
We do offer real hope and real help. The Bible tells us that we are to live now in view of heaven, of the new creation that has begun at the resurrection of Christ and will be brought to fullness in the new heavens and new earth. Then, all struggle, all sorrow, all sickness, all affliction, all fallenness, all that we suffer under in this life will be brought to an end. Then, o then, will Christ be all and in all for the glory of God the Father。
我们的的确确提供了一个真正的希望与帮助。圣经告诉我们要用天国的眼光、以基督复活所形成的新人的身份活在当下,并在将来的新天新地中得以完全。如此,在 今世中我们所有的争战、忧伤、疾病、患难、堕落,以及所有我们所遭受的将会结 束。这样,基督将是万有又在万有之中,使父上帝得荣耀。 18Foundations of Biblical Counseling 圣经辅导基础 | 错误!使用“开始”选项卡将 Title 应用于要在此处显示的文字。

神迹与启示56、旧…
「他施展大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，因他的慈爱永远长存。」【诗136: 12】
欺压人，苦待人，硬心反抗神的法老，为了自己的利益，杀害了无数的以色列男孩。虽经历多次警告性的灾难，始终不肯悔改放过以色列人，以致招至死长子之祸。神不愿人长久为奴，也不愿意人欺压人，祂要释放人得以自由，故施这严重的刑罚。这是祂的公义也是祂的慈爱，一直不变的慈爱。
祂领以色列人从他们中间出来，祂施展大能的手，和伸出来的膀臂，称谢那分裂红海的，祂领以色列从其中经过，因祂的慈爱永远长存，却把法老和他的军兵推翻在红海里，以色列人能从法老的魔掌出来，是神施展祂大能的手，把红海分开，并把法老的追兵淹殁在红海，因为祂长存的慈爱，祂不忍见人长久为奴受苦。
第一道障碍除去了，第二道障碍又出现，那就是旷野的障碍。神领以色列民脱离旷野。以色列人虽然脱离了埃及法老的辖制，但是他们因为不信和不顺服，旷野成了他们进入迦南的拦阻。可幸有神永远长存的爱，祂长久地忍耐他们的悖逆，耐心地引导他们进入迦南。
人因为软弱不信，会不时失败跌倒，好像在旷野一样起起跌跌。但因着神不改变的慈爱，祂耐性地教导，引导我们，帮助我们脱离旷野失落的生活，慢慢进入丰富，我们真要感谢祂。
最后一道出现，就是那些迦南外围的强大君王，他们不准以色列人经过他们的地，不准他们进入迦南。以色列人虽有六十万壮丁，但他们久未经战阵，又常不听神的吩咐，靠他们本身的力量是不能胜过这些强敌的。慈爱的神再次向他们显出永不改变的慈爱，帮他们除去这最后的障碍。奉主耶稣基督的圣名祈求！阿们！
启示意义 : 在我们信仰的历程中，有些我们本身无法克服的障碍，拦阻我们进入神的丰富，好在我们的神是慈爱的，而且是永远不改变的，祂耐性地帮我们去克服，使我们可以进入迦南应许地，不至望门兴叹。蒙主恩典！阿们！
吗哪(360)叫世…

「这就是神在基督里，叫世人与自己和好，不将他们的过犯归到他们身上，并且将这和好的道理托付了我们。」【林后5: 19】
不论我们过去的好或坏，都会在我们身上产生消极的作用，拦阻我们向前，主在十字架上已经涂抹了一切对我们不利的字据，把它们彻去废掉了，所以我们不该再回头把它们重拾回来，特别是那些过去所受的伤害和阴影，过去所犯不能弥补的过错，都已经因我们的归信主而一笔勾消了。
只要我是在基督里，我就是一个新造的人。我们如何在亚当里，旧人所有的天性、生命、行为，都流到我们身上来，并不用我们费力；照样，只要我们在基督里，基督的一切，也流到我们身上来。
在基督里。新造的人应该有新的眼光，过新的生活，作新的事奉。当主再来的时候，我们将借着复活在新造的世界中进入不朽，全人的更新达到高峰。
真实基督的仆人，必定只作基督所作的工，绝不在基督的工作之外，另作别的工。事奉神的工作，都是环绕在劝人与神和好这一个中心上。缺少了这一点，所有的工作都不是事奉。
因着神奇妙的恩典，才有和好的福音，使人蒙召来与神和好。救恩并不是基督到满心不乐意的父神面前为我们求情，整个救恩的计划都是出于父神的计划和安排，人与神和好的障碍已经除去了。但在人那一方的障碍还没有除去，人必须接受呼召与神和好，所以神又主动「将劝人与祂和好的职分赐给我们」。
「劝人与祂和好的职分」，就是传扬神在基督里已经成就的工作，一切工作都是围绕劝人与神和好这一个中心，而不是为了提升人的道德水准、解决人的精神寄托。
不仅主动要叫世人与自己和好，祂也主动差派使者出去传扬这和好的福音。
主的仆人乃是『基督的使者』，他的工作就是显明基督的所是，和传扬基督的所作。主的工人工作内容是叫人与神和好，工作的方式是『劝』人，工作的态度是『求』人。
基督原是『无罪的』，却『替我们成为罪』，代我们受了罪的审判，好叫我们这些不义的人，『在祂里面成为神的义』。无罪的成为罪，不义的成为义，哦，神的救法太奇妙了！奉主耶稣基督的圣名祈求！阿们！
学习体会 : 我们信徒借着与主在生命上的联合，祂生命的成分就成为我们的供应，渐渐地要浸透并充满我们的全人，以致祂从我们身上彰显出来，这就是我们在经历上成为神的义。蒙主恩典！阿们！
神迹与启示55、旧…
「他拯救他们脱离恨他们人的手，从仇敌手中救赎他们。」【诗106: 10】
以色列人出埃及开始认罪，指出神藉云柱火柱引导以色列人来到红海，以致法老王认为以色列人迷了路；既然迷了路，那位引领以色列人出埃及的神，一定不是全能全知的神，所以法老王认为，有机会打败以色列人，将他们捉拿回来，减轻自己的损失。
另一方面，以色列人也有同样的想法，所以他们就大发怨言，对摩西说：「难道在埃及没有坟地，你把我们带来死在旷野吗﹖你为什么这样待我们，将我们从埃及领出来呢﹖我们在埃及岂没有对你说过，不要搅扰我们，容我们服事埃及人吗﹖因为服事埃及人比死在旷野还好。」
因以色列人两方面的悖逆：「不明白你的奇事」，神用十灾打击埃及，显出神是全然得胜的神，可惜他们就是不明白；同时神救他们脱离埃及为奴之家，要作他们的神，好领他们进入迦南美地；可惜他们就是无法领会神的慈爱。
他们「反倒在红海行了悖逆」，埋怨神不应领他们出来，又表示宁愿返回埃及，继续做奴仆。按这样的悖逆，显出这些以色列人真是没有良心，任何人都会感到，不如放弃他们算了。
然而，神不计较以色列人的悖逆，却为「自己的名」，仍然拯救他们，免得他的名被世人议论，说：耶和华神根本没有能力可以领以色列人进入迦南。
再者，神要证明答应亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的应许，都是真实的，所以神按自己的名拯救他们，为要彰显他的大能，证实他是至高的全能者。神就斥责红海，海便干了，使以色列人经过深处，如同经过旷野。
神这样「拯救他们脱离恨他们人的手，从仇敌手中救赎他们」，实在是惊天动地的奇事，是人类历史从未有过的大事；神不但将埃及大军消灭，永无后顾之忧；更叫普天下的人，尤其是迦南全地的人，都极其恐惧。这是指米利暗和妇女们拿鼓跳舞，歌颂神说：「你们要歌颂耶和华，因他大大战胜，将马和骑马的投在海中。」奉主耶稣基督的圣名祈求！阿们！
启示意义 : 这奇异的恩典，以色列感到神与他们同在，非常骄傲。蒙主恩典！阿们！

ISAIAH 61:1-3
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.

e1.心理學背道而…
「岂不晓得你们献上自己作奴仆，顺从谁，就作谁的奴仆吗？或作罪的奴仆，以至于死；或作顺命的奴仆，以至成义。」【罗6: 16】
心理学有不合圣经的地方
反对在基督徒的辅导中整合心理学和圣经的原因之一，是因为世俗心理学中有不合圣经和敌基督教的原则。
心理学建基于下面几个基本前设﹕
（1）自然主义
（2）唯物主义
（3）还原主义
（4）决定论
（5）进化论
（6）逻辑实证主义
（7）相对主义
（8）人本主义。
人本主义心理学和超心理学则强调宇宙的非物质本质。
大部分的基督徒都应该可以看得出这些前设是敌基督教的。例如，任何建基于唯物主义或相对主义的辅导理论，怎么可能是合神心意的？这样，会对基督徒有好处吗？
那些人本的心理学家们，以为自我中心是心理健康之道，结果他们教导自尊/自信和自我实现，这些哲学和态度是敌基督教的。
性欲理论为整个文明世界带来性革命。基督徒的性爱观念因此被视为古老，结果，离婚、堕胎和其他与性爱有关的社会问题，四处泛滥。
那些支持整合运动的基督徒心理学家们也明白世俗心理学中有不合圣经之处。所以，他们认为需要去芜存菁，他们亦自称已经过滤了那些有害的，将麦子和稗子分开，只留取那些合圣经的部分。
他们相信，因为自己是基督徒，所以他们自然有分辨善恶的能力，能够知道那哪些是合圣经的，哪些是不合圣经的。
所有真理都是从神来，为什么我们还需要用圣经来试验这些「真理」？只有那些和圣经一致的，才能接纳。
基督徒应注意的问题不是该不该用心理学，而是『什么样的心理学可以用？ 』
心理学包罗万象，其中也含有不少相当危险、不合圣经的观念。例如，有些理论含有人本主义思想、唯物主义、或进化观念；基督徒不要走极端，不可「照单全收」，也不要把心理学全部否决丢弃。
那么，我们的整合主义者就着手评估每一个理论、每一个技术。根据一个统计，现有三百多种治疗，一万多个治疗技术。我们需要花多少时间才能评估所有理论和技术？这样花时间是值得的吗？假若在我们评估工作还尚未完成之前，新的理论和技术又出现了，那我们该怎么办？这项工作岂非永无止境？如果我们碰到一个灰色地带，或者一个圣经没有明白表示的情形，我们怎样决定？又或者有基督徒心理学家认为某理论是合圣经的，但是，另一个心理学家却不同意，那么，我们应该用什么准则去决定？如果我们没有一个可靠的办法去决定这些心理学理论和治疗技术是否合圣经，那么，我们对整合运动亦不可能有肯定的立场。
圣经的完备性，持这观点的基督徒认为圣经足够为信仰和生活的指引，所以，不需要世俗心理学。他们常常引用两段经文是﹕圣经都是 神所默示的，于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义、都是有益的。叫属 神的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事。神的神能已将一切关乎生命和虔敬的事赐给我们，皆因我们认识那用自己荣耀和美德召我们的主。
圣经是完备足够的。上帝的话、圣灵、和信徒从基督所得的生命，足够让我们应付大部分的困难，包括那些被认为精神病和心理疾病，当然也足够我们应付日常的生活问题。他们又说﹕人们需要寻求专业心理辅助的问题中，绝大部分都和婚姻、家庭、个人心灵的痛苦、抑郁、和上瘾有关，这些都是圣经谈及的问题。
今日的信仰权威已经被腐蚀﹕只有圣经才是无误的教会生活规则，但是今天的福音派教会已经不把圣经当作权威。事实上，教会经常被文化牵着鼻子走。它所列举的文化影响之一是治疗技术。圣经是上帝唯一的启示 – 唯独圣经的教导，含有所有资料，让我们可以从罪恶中得救，它也是唯一衡量基督徒行为的根据和标准。
教会历史也屡次见证了一件事﹕每当我们在圣经之外另有权威，圣经就会退居次要地位，教会也因而漂离正确的神学思想。单因为这个历史上的经验，我们就应该质疑这个圣经和心理学的整合运动。
爱情「可以满足我们心底深处的需要、医治过去留下的心灵创伤～我们潜意识中要求配偶成为自己从未有过的『完美的好父母』心理上退化为婴儿状态～婚姻之中的两个『大婴孩』～千方百计地『讨债』，要对方负责再次使自己快乐起来。」
心理学家们教导说，我们从前的经历贮存于我们的潜意识中。
当然嘛，还可以放在那儿！这样的理论，想我们都听过一千零一次。有一本心理学课本总论说﹕「心理分析理论主张，童年经历深藏在我们的潜意识中，最能影响我们的性格。」
催眠术可以医治这个曾被不健全家庭虐待的内心幼童。我们可以这样做，因为对我们的潜意识而言，时间不是直线性的。
基督徒心理学家就和其他心理学家一样，异口同声地说，童年经历决定我们的价值观，若果我们的自尊/自信低落，或感到罪咎，都源自童年经历。
基督徒心理学家和世俗心理学家对此现象的解释，也基本上一样，他们都强调潜意识和无意识的作用。例如，米尔说﹕我们的童年经历深藏在我们的潜意识中。
他们也谈论「内心幼童」的观念，又使用冥想技术。席蒙思主张使用观想，重活往日的创伤，而且当场邀请耶稣来临医治。虽然他没有用「时间不是直线性」为解释，但是他说﹕「基督是时间之主 —— 过去、现在、将来。」所以，祂能回到往日去，医治我们。
事实上，这正是「内在医治」推动者和一些基督徒催眠治疗师所做的 —— 在催眠术下，观想耶稣和内心幼童相遇，邀请耶稣医治这个曾经被不健全家庭虐待的可怜内心幼童。那么，根据他们，你今天的问题就可获解决。
普通常理告诉我们，我们童年所受的影响，有一部分会慢慢消褪。圣经告诉我们﹕「我作孩子的时候，说话像孩子，心思像孩子，想法像孩子，既然长大了，就把孩子的事都丢弃了。」【林前13: 11】所以，如果你母亲说你是一个坏孩子，不见得你一定会一辈子觉得罪过。
最后，除了被他人影响之外，任何人，包括基督徒，都可能被灵界影响。当彼得要求耶稣不要上耶路撒冷去，耶稣斥责他，说﹕「撒但！退到我后面去！」【太16: 23】非常明显，彼得当时是被撒但影响。但我们也可以从神那里得到好的影响，圣经告诉我们﹕「因为你们立志行事，都是 神在你们心里运行，为要成就他的美意。」万幸。
上帝不喜欢我们把自己的问题归咎于别人的罪恶，「我们是不健全家庭的受害人」不是新思想，以色列人老早就懂得。他们有俗语说﹕「父亲吃了酸葡萄，儿子的牙酸倒了」，但是「主耶和华说，我指着我的永生起誓，你们在以色列中，必不再有用这俗语的因由。看哪，世人都是属我的，为父的怎样属我，为子的也照样属我，犯罪的他必死亡。」【结18: 3-4 】我们从不同方面受到不同的影响，但神让我们有选择的能力，我们可以把自己献上，作为罪的奴仆，也可以作为义的奴仆【罗6: 16】。我们的选择可以撤销童年的影响，既然我们有机会选择，我们就必须为自己的选择负责任﹕「我们各人必要将自己的事，在 神面前说明。」有一天，当我们向神交帐的时候，我们不能再用「不健全家庭的受害人」为借口。
所以圣经规劝我们，「忘记背后，努力面前」【腓三13】我们不应该尝试挖掘所谓潜意识中的往日伤痕，上帝并不喜欢我们天天翻旧帐，这不是我们对付问题的办法。导灵们在谈论中，经常使用意识、潜意识和无意识的观念。如果把它们对这些名词的定义总括在一起，它们的定义和心理学家们的，相差不远。令人怀疑，到底谁是真正的理论发明人。
同时也认为，我们的心灵还有更多的一层，它叫这个做「更高意识心灵」，我们的意识、潜意识和无意识，都嵌藏在其中。这就是容格所讲的「集体无意识」。包括破坏者、小丑、母亲、智者等等，这些原型存在于各时代、各文化中。
所谓潜意识和无意识其实并非这样天真无邪，导灵们说，这些心灵结构是通往灵异事物的通道。例如，那些伪装为天使的导灵说，它们和人讲话，是通过人的潜意识。另一个导灵，解释说，无意识心灵掌管直觉、预感、超感视觉。所以，这些都是无意识的功用和内容。聖經中，沒有潛意識、無意識等觀念。奉主耶稣基督的圣名祈求！阿们！
