One cannot long use the Statement “I AM,” even intellectually, until he begins to feel a deeper and deeper conviction that：
即便拥有理智的理解，一个人也不能长久地使用“我是临在”进行宣告，直至他对以下的内容有了足够深入的确信：
“‘I AM’ all things.” Think often what these two marvelous Words mean, and always couple with the use of these two Words the Statement that: “When I say ‘I AM,’ ‘I AM’ setting in motion the Limitless Power of God in whatever I couple the expression ‘I AM’ with.”
“‘我是’一切万物。”经常去思考‘我是’这个奇妙的词语，并且要去结合这个词的使用声明：“当我说‘我是’时，不论我用什么来进行表达，‘我是’就启动了神的无限力量。”
In the scriptural Statement: “Before Abraham, was ‘I AM,’” Abraham represents the outer expression of Life, and “I AM” represents the Principle of Life which was expressing through Abraham. Thus there was the Perfection of Life—before any manifestation ever occurred; and thus is Life without beginning and without end.
在神圣的手稿中有这样的描述：“在亚伯拉罕之前，有‘我是’。”亚伯拉罕代表着生命的外在显化，‘我是’代表了通过亚伯拉罕进行表达的生命本质。因此就有了生命的完美，存在于显化发生之前；这就是生命的本质，没有开始，也没有终结。
Excerpt from Discourse 13 by Beloved Saint Germain, Volume 3, The “I AM” Discourses
Faith: Faith is always an important factor in gaining the use of the Light. As an illustration: if you were going some place where you had not yet been, you would have seen a map, heard a description, or in some other way have learned of this outer place to which you were going, having perfect confidence that the place was there. Underlying this activity, the whole thing is faith in some kind of a report brought to you. Can you not have this same unwavering confidence and faith in the use of these Super Powers of which you have heard, although you may not have yet seen Them? If you would exert the same confidence and faith in reaching to and attaining the Perfect Contact with your Mighty God Self that you have in physically reaching a destination where you have not yet been, you would find the results a thousand times more wonderful. You would consciously reach that Inner “Presence” with far greater invincible certainty than you would the culmination of your outer journey.
信念：信念始终都是获得使用圣光的重要因素。举个例子：如果你要去一个还没有去过的地方，你会先看地图，听有关它的描述，或者以其他方式了解你要去的这个外部地点，你非常确信那个地方就在那里。在这个活动背后，整件事情就是信念以某种方式呈现给你的体现。尽管你还没有亲眼见过那些超能力，但是你听说过它们，你难道不能拥有同样坚定不移的信念和信心吗？你想要接近自己的伟大神之自我，并达成与它完美的连结，如果你可以表达出像到达一个在实际中你尚未到达的目的地那样程度的信心和信念，你就会发现你取得的结果要更加美妙一千倍。你将要有意识地到达那个内在的“临在”，比你到达外在旅途目的地拥有更大的坚定信念。
The fact is that in almost every walk of Life, we have a certain confidence that we can go to, do, and be certain things in the outer. Why not have the same confidence in reaching the Inner Light, which brings you rewards so much greater than the outer that there is no comparison? In some way, the Students must gain this certain, invincible confidence in their ability to right now step through the veil and enter into the Full Activity of their Mighty Invincible God Self. They need to do but a small analysis of their own activity, to see how they may turn this mighty confidence and faith into the right and greater channel and have perfect, eternal results, which the activity of the outer self can never give.
事实上，几乎在生活的每个领域，我们都有一定的信心，我们可以在外在做到一些事情。为什么不对到达自己的内在之光拥有同样的信心，它给你带来的回报要比外在带来的回报大得多，甚至没有可比性。在某种程度上，学生必须要获得这种坚定的、势不可挡的信心，相信他们现在有能力穿越帷幕，进入他们伟大且不可战胜的神之自我的全面活动领域。他们只需要对自己的活动做一个小小的分析，看看他们如何可以把这种强大的信心和信念带入正确的和更伟大的渠道之中，从而产生完美、永恒的结果，这样的活动是外在自我永远无法提供的。
Try to recognize that in the slightest activity in the outer, it is always the Power or Energy of God acting. Know this! Then stimulate the activity of the consciousness into recognizing that as you consciously direct this God Power into the channel of your highest desires, you can enter into Its Limitless Use. You do this by recognizing that It is All[1]powerful and that through your own consciousness you give It full Power. This will bring the focus of using your God Power under your conscious, demanded direction, so that instead of many outlets, there is but the single outlet upon which It is focused. By this you know it is impossible not to attain the desired results.
尝试着去认识到，即便是在外在最微小的活动中，也总是有神的力量或能量在起作用。知道这一点！然后去激发意识的活动，认识到当你有意识地把这种神之能量导入你最高意愿的通道中，你就可以去无限地使用这种能量。通过认识到它是全能的，通过你自己的意识赋予它全部力量，来做到这一点。这样会把你使用神之能量的焦点放置在你的意识中、放置在你命令的指引下，从而让很多能量出口变成一个单一聚焦的能量出口。这么做你就会知道，不可能不达到预期的效果。
Students everywhere, especially long for Perfection of form, of voice, of activity-when the only thing that stands between them and this Perfection is their own lack of unwavering confidence in the Inner God Power, which is the Life flowing through their forms to produce this desired effect right now.
世界各地的学生，尤其是渴望形态、声音和活动处于完美之中的那些 —— 他们与完美之间的唯一障碍就是他们缺乏对自己内在神之力量坚定不移的信心，内在的神之力量正流动于他们形态之中来产生想要的结果。
DISCOURSE XVI, Volume 4, ASCENDED MASTER INSTRUCTION
Law of Life
生命法则
How easy it is for humanity to pass over transcendent activities because of their unbelief, acknowledgment or acceptance of the True Perfection of Life, for all Life in manifestation is God in Action. Unfortunately however, It is more often colored by human concepts of limitation and destructive qualities which, through the individual’s power of free will, everyone is at liberty to do.
对人类而言，他们很容易因为自己的不相信而错过很多极其伟大的活动，要去认可和接受生命的真正圆满，因为所有生命的表达都是神的活动。然而不幸的是，它常常被人类限制性和破坏性的想法所污染，通过个人自由意志的力量，每个人都可以自由地去污染生命的完美。
This ere long, however, will be greatly remedied by the setting aside of the greater part of the human free will as it is known today. This will enable much of humanity to be awakened and saved from their own destruction.
不过，通过设定现今所知的大部分人类的自由意志，这种情况很快就会得到极大的补救。这会唤醒大多数人类，并把他们从自己的毁灭中拯救出来。
Here may I say that the students who think they can play with the Great Law, because of their unwillingness to give the necessary Self-discipline, will find themselves unfortunate indeed if they attempt it when once having entered upon the Conscious Path.
这里我想说的是，那些认为自己可以玩弄伟大法则的学生，是因为他们不愿意对自己进行必要的自律，若当他们进入这条意识之路还试图玩弄法则的话，他们就会给自己招致不幸。
The Great Law, which does not discriminate, takes individuals at their words and feelings. Those who think they can escape this are but deceiving themselves.
伟大的法则不会区别对待，它衡量的是个人的言辞和情感。那些认为可以逃脱法则制约的人，只是在自欺欺人。
