Law of Life
生命法则
One cannot long interfere with the progress or growth of another, for if the one obstructing does not release and relax his hold upon the other who is ready to go higher, the obstructing one will be removed by his own action. If one continues to hold steadfast and sincerely to the Light, personalities will be swept aside, or harmoniously disconnected from the individual’s world.
一个人不能长时间地干扰另一个人的进步。这是因为，对另一个准备好进入更高领域发展的人而言，如果制造阻碍者不释放对他的束缚的话，制造阻碍者就会被自己的行为所阻碍，束缚从而被移除。如果一个人持续坚定且真诚地追求圣光，人格就会被放置在一边，或者说，和谐地从这个人的生活中脱离开。
At this state of growth, or rather, expansion of the Light, it is necessary to know:
在这个成长阶段，或者说，圣光拓展的阶段，有必要知道的是：
“‘I AM’ the Active Presence of all channels of distribution of all things acting for my good.” …
“‘我是’所有为我服务的事物中、存在于所有层面的神圣临在。”……
Take this as a sacred, reverent Knowledge to be used. When you take from the “I AM” Self, it is impossible for you to take anything from any personality which rightfully belongs to that one. You are decreeing for your world, so you cannot take from anyone when knowing your own Law: “I AM the Presence” acting everywhere. There is no possibility of division of the “I AM Presence.”
把它当作一种神圣而虔诚的知识去使用。当你从‘我是临在’的自我出发，你就不可能吸附任何属于人格层面的事物。你在自己的世界下达喻令，你知道自己运作的法则是：“我是临在”无所不在，“我是临在”不可能制造分裂。所以当“我是临在”运作时，你不可能从其他人那里受到阻碍。
If you need money, say:
如果你需要金钱，请说：
“‘I AM’ the Active Presence, bringing this money into my hands and use instantly.”
“‘我是’活跃的临在，请把这笔钱带到我的手中，并即刻使用它。”
It is so important to get away from the importance of money. It is but a means of exchange. Do not give it power. Put all your power back with God, and then when you command—no matter what it is you want—you have all power instantly on hand to bring forth the fulfillment of your Decree.
重要的是，要摆脱掉金钱很重要的这种理念。它只是一种交换的工具。不要赋予它力量。把你所有的力量放回神之临在。然后当你下达命令的时候 —— 不论你想要什么 —— 你都会马上拥有实现你喻令的所有力量。
Excerpts by Beloved Saint Germain from Discourse 16,The “I AM” Discourses, Volume 3

Happiness is the great boon every individual is seeking. We find some Orientalists saying that bliss is the ultimate state. It is only another expression for Happiness, but is not nearly so potent to the Western mind. To the Western mind Happiness is God in Action. To be conscious of seeking Happiness is to be conscious of seeking God.
幸福是每个人都在寻求的巨大福祉。我们看到一些东方学家说，极乐是一种终极的状态。它仅仅是幸福的另一种表达，不过在西方人的心智中没有那么奏效。对于西方的心智来说，幸福是神的活动。有意识地追求幸福，就是有意识地寻求神。
No permanent Happiness is ever attained except through the adoration of God, the “Mighty I AM Presence,” which is within, above, and around the individual. Happiness is a powerful alchemy. It is one of the most powerful purifiers of the human thought, feeling, mind, body, aura, and world of the individual. If the Student but believed and would experiment with himself or herself, he would find that he can generate Happiness at will.
除非通过对神，也就是存在于个人内在、之上和周围的“伟大我是临在”的尊崇，否则不会获得永久的幸福。幸福是一种强大的炼金术。它是人类思想、情感、心智、身体、能量场和个人所在世界的最强大的净化力量之一。如果学生相信这一点，并亲自尝试，他会发现自己可以随意地产生幸福。
For instance, suppose an outer thing draws the attention and causes some phase of unhappiness. Knowing that God, the “Mighty I AM Presence,” is the only Source of Happiness, then the Student’s first move would be to turn the attention to the Giver of all Happiness; and thereby he would tune into the one Source from which he is certain to receive.
比如，一件外在的事情引起了人们的注意力并带来一些不愉快。要知道神，“伟大的我是临在”是唯一幸福的源泉，接下来学生要做的第一件事情就是把注意力给予所有幸福的给予者；这样做，他就把自己带入了一定会接收到幸福的唯一源泉中。
The idea for the individual to follow is that when he feels some kind of disturbance and wants to turn to God, he may do the following and get great help from it: Get up and go through the motions of taking off a garment that one does not want and, as you would hold the discarded garment in your hands, drop it into the Consuming Flame and know that the disturbing element is consumed.
个人要去遵循这样的想法，当他感到某种干扰，并想把注意力转向神时，他可以通过做以下的动作来获得伟大的帮助：站起来，做出脱掉不想要穿着的外衣的动作，然后，就像你手里真的拿着你想丢弃的外衣，把它丢入到紫罗兰转化火焰中，同时知道，所有的干扰元素都被转化掉了。
Then fix the attention on God, the “Mighty I AM Presence,” with the Joyous Consciousness of feeling and receiving the Current of Happiness and Peace filling the mind and body. With a little practice in this manner, the Student will soon be able to come to the point where he or she can draw this great Happiness consciously and at will.
接下来把注意力集中在神、“伟大的我是临在”上，用一种喜悦的意识去感受，接收到了充满心智和身体的幸福与平和的能量流。对这种方法稍加练习，学生很快就会发现他可以有意识地、根据自己的意志把这种伟大的幸福带到自己身边。
Every time he does this consciously, he will find that he is gaining strength in the accomplishment and will realize truly that he has the ability to reach into the Heart of Happiness and there absorb Its Fullness. This practice is always followed by an expansion of consciousness which is its natural result.
每次当他有意识地这么做的时候，他会发现自己在达成这种成就中获得了力量，他会真正意识到他有能力到达幸福的核心，并在那里吸收它的全部。这种练习总是会伴随着意识的拓展，这是其自然而然的结果。
The Students or individuals who are inclined to allow personalities or conditions that seem unusually close to them, to disturb them, should watch themselves closely- and instantly, when they find the attention is being fixed on the outer consciousness, withdraw it and fill the person, place, or condition with God, the “Mighty I AM Presence,” and declare to themselves: “I, through my I AM Presence, ‘consciously fill this person, place, or condition with God. Therefore, in my outer consciousness, I positively know that only the right and perfect action is taking place there, toward me and for their success and happiness.”
那些容易让人格或者靠近他们的状况干扰到的学生或个体应该密切地观察他们自己，当他们发现注意力集中在外在意识上时，马上撤回，并让外在意识中的人、地点或者状况充满了神、“伟大的我是临在”；同时对自我做出宣告：“我，通过我的我是临在，有意识地让这个人、这个地方或者状况充满了神的临在。因此，在我的外在意识中，我确切地知道，只有正确且完美的行动在进行着，朝向我，朝向他们的成功和幸福。”
With many individuals the love of family holds their attention entirely too much upon the outer appearances; and when they allow this to be done, they but intensify the things that they do not want. If parents will take this attitude toward their children, “There is no personality acting in that one; there is only God in Action!” then they are doing the greatest thing in their power to help their children. At first, it may require considerable determination on their part to switch the current, but it is really no more difficult than turning the switch of the electric light in your room or pressing the button.
对很多人来说，他们把注意力中对家庭的爱完全放在了外在表相上；当他们这么去做时，他们只会去强化那些他们不想要的事物。若是父母对孩子采取了这样的态度，“在他身上没有人格在行动；有的只是行动中的神！”他们这么做，就是在自己的能力范围内给予孩子的最大帮助。在最初，他们可能需要相当大的决心来切换能量流的运作，但是实际上，这并不比按下房间中的电灯开关或者按个按钮更加困难。
The reason individuals find it difficult to do this is because they do not nip disturbing conditions in the bud. They allow a fierce momentum to get going and then suddenly become aware they are in distress – never stopping to consider that they have allowed this thing to build, when by standing guard at the door of conscious creative thought and feeling, they can check it and stop its actzon in the beginnzng with little effort.
个人觉得很难做到这一点的原因，是因为他们没有把不安的状况扼杀于萌芽之中。他们让猛烈的势头继续前进，然后突然之间意识到他们处于困境之中 — 从来不停下来去思考，是他们让这件事情的势头得到积累，当他们警觉地站在觉知的创造性想法和情感的大门口时，他们可以去自我检查，而且在最初就可以毫不费力地停止这样的行动。
Again let Me refer to the power of Free Will and choice. The individual alone is the governor and chooser of that which he will entertain; and he or she is at all times and forever “master of this condition now,” because this particular activity requires no special state of growth, but can be done successfully by anyone who will sincerely try. Almost always the admonition to the child starting to school is “If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again.”
让我再次说一下自由意志和选择的力量。每个人自己是他所体验的管理者和决定者；他在任何时候都永远是“当下状况的主人”，因为这个特殊的活动并不需要特别的成长状态，任何愿意真诚地去尝试的人都会成功完成。对刚刚开始上学的孩子来说，劝诫的话总是这句“如果一开始你没有取得成功，那么请再试一次。”
In looking to the Light or toward God, the “Mighty I AM Presence” with sincerity, we cannot fail, because we not only have our own God Power surging forth to our assistance, but there are other Mighty Powers watching all opportunity to help, from whom we do receive unbelievable Assistance.
用真诚的心面对圣光、神、“全能的我是临在”，我们就不会失败。因为我们不仅仅拥有来自自己神之力量的协助，而且其他的伟大力量也在寻找提供帮助的机会，从那里，我们收到了难以置信的帮助。
DISCOURSE XVII, Ascended MasterInstruction, Volume 4
Law of Life
生命法则
When the impulse surges forth to argue, criticize, or feel a resistance, it is your signal that the outer is intruding itself to demand attention. Then is the time, by the power of your free will, to command the outer to be silent and obey the “I AM Presence.” …
当有想要去争辩、批评的冲动，或者感觉到阻力时，这表明外在正在入侵，以引起你的注意力。然后是时候，通过你自由意志的力量，去要求外在安静下来，服从“我是临在”…
When students have entered the conscious path, the slightest intimation of disturbance or resistance of any kind should be followed instantly by silencing all outer activity and declaring: “‘I AM’ the obedient, intelligent activity in this mind and body; ‘I AM’ the governing power and do govern it harmoniously.”
当学生进入有意识的道路时，任何最轻微的扰动或者阻力，都应该通过宣称以下的内容，从而让所有的外部活动安静下来：“‘我是’这个心智和身体的服从的智能活动，‘我是’主宰的力量，并和谐地统领我的心智和身体。”
