I would like to continue our discussion on matter.If you recall, we were entering into primary and secondary constructions.

我想继续我们对物质的讨论。如果你还记得，我们正要进入主建构和次建构。

I am now bringing you to the point of primary and secondary constructions.And with this you may take your break.

我现在带大家了解一下主要建构和次要建构。在此，你们可以休息一下。

These afterimages could be imagined as rippling outward from any primary construction.Theoretically there would be no end to these.They vary of course in intensity.

这些后影像可以想像成从任何一个主建构向外扩散的涟漪。理论上，这是没有尽头的。当然它们的强度也各自不同。

Consciousness therefore forms the primary construction about itself, not to protect itself from matter but in order to become allied with matter, the consciousness obviously being diffused through the whole physical construction.

因此，意识形成关乎自身的主建构，不是为了保护自己不受物质的影响，而是为了与物质结盟，意识显然是通过整体物质的建构来扩散的。

It hovers about and within the construction.It is not imprisoned by the construction.The apparent imprisoning of consciousness within the primary construction is the result of ignorance, and also an inability that has arisen for various reasons.

它盘旋在建构的周围和内部。它不被建构所禁锢。意识表面上被禁锢在主建构内，是无知的结果，也是由于各种原因所产生之无能为力的结果。

A primary construction is a psychic gestalt, formed into matter by a consciousness of itself.Such a primary construction is an attempt to create, in the world of matter, a replica of the inner psychic construction of the whole self.

主建构是一种灵性完形，由自身的意识形成为物质。这样的主建构是试图在物质世界中创造一个复制品，一个整体自己之内在灵性建构的复制品。

Even a primary construction, therefore, is but a partial appearance of inner nature into matter.The term consciousness, as I am here using it, may need some explanation, although you should by now understand my meaning.

所以，即使是主建构，也只是内在本质转化成物质的部分显现。我在这里使用的" 意识" 一词，可能需要一些解释，尽管你们现在应该明白我的意思。

The cooperative aspects of consciousness construction forms the whole fabric of your material universe.A subdivision of primary construction can be called the distortive mirror construction, which would include of course the physical construction of another physical being in birth.

意识建构的合作方面，构成了你们物质宇宙的整体建构。主建构的一个分支可被称为扭曲的镜像建构，它当然会包括另一个生成的物质存在的物质建构。

I do intend to speak about his particular problems in a few moments.We will therefore momentarily suspend our discussion on the properties of matter, although we will shortly continue along the lines of primary and secondary constructions.

我的确打算一会儿就来谈谈他的特定问题。因此，我们就暂时搁置对物质属性的讨论，不过，我们很快就会继续讨论主建构和次建构这方面的内容。
