Tribute

致辞

At the present time the attention of mankind is being drawn to the conscious understanding and use of the Words “I AM” by the Ascended Masters, Beloved Saint Germain, Beloved Jesus, and others of the Ascended Host—who are pouring out ceaselessly the Great Light to release Freedom, Peace, and Perfection. The Cosmic Command for the permanent Golden Age has been given and must now manifest on this planet.

当前，人类的注意力正被扬升大师、尊敬的圣哲曼、敬爱的耶稣以及其他的扬升之主对“我是”有意识地理解和使用所吸引，他们正不断地倾洒出伟大的圣光，释放出自由、和平与完美。永恒黄金时代的宇宙命令已经下达，现在必须要在这颗星球上显现。

The Great Ascended Masters have worked for centuries preparing for the expansion of Light that is now flooding the entire system to which this earth belongs. The Great Cosmic Law has begun the release and increase of that Light which compels all things to come into Perfect Divine Order wherever It flows.

几个世纪以来，伟大的扬升大师们一直在为圣光的拓展做准备，现在，圣光正在淹没地球所属的整个太阳系。伟大的宇宙法则已经开始让圣光释放和增加，从而让它流经之处，推动万物进入完美的神圣秩序中。

These Great Ones have always been the Custodians of the Eternal Inner Understanding concerning the use of the Great Creative Word, “I AM.” They, and They alone, have been able to give the complete Understanding concerning what occurs when those two Words, “I AM,” are used.

这些伟大的存有一直都是对伟大的创造词语“我是”的永恒内在理解的守护者。他们，而且只有他们，能够对使用“我是”这个词时会发生什么给出完整的理解。

They have been the Elder Brothers, Protectors, Guardians, and Infallible Teachers of mankind throughout the centuries. The Ascended Masters are the only Infallible Source of Instruction to the humanity of this earth, because They are Wholly Divine, and One with the God Self of every individual. They are the Living Fulfillment of the Law They teach, and are the only Ones who have manifested Complete Victory over so-called death.

几个世纪以来，他们一直都是人类的兄长、保护者、守护者和可靠的导师。扬升大师是地球人类的唯一无懈可击的指导圆圈，因为他们是全然的神圣，他们与每个人的神之自我合而为一。他们圆满地活出了他们所教导的法则，也是唯一完全战胜了所谓死亡的存有。

They are the Full Manifestation of that Light and Love which rule the Universe and which maintain Divine Order throughout Infinity.

他们是主宰这个宇宙的光和爱的全然表达，光与爱在无限中维持着神圣的秩序法则。

The release of Their combined Light is taking place and flooding the earth at the present time. All that is not of the Light is consumed thereby. Their Light will continue to expand throughout this planet until all its humanity has made the Ascension also—and the earth itself becomes a Blazing Sun, whirling in its appointed path in space.

他们联合之光的释放正在发生着，并洒满地球。所有不是光的事物因此都得到转化。他们的圣光会持续在这颗星球上拓展，直至所有的人类都实现扬升 —— 直至地球本身变成一颗炽热的太阳，在宇宙中既定的轨道上螺旋前进。

To these Great Ascended Masters mankind owes all the good it has ever received or drawn forth, because They are the way and means by which the Infinite God Self expands Its Perfection through the finite activity of personalities.

正是由于这些伟大的扬升大师，人类才能接收到、吸引到那些所有美好事物的到来，因为他们是无限的神之自我通过有限的人格活动拓展其完美的方式和方法。

This earth and its humanity are entering into the “I AM” Age, and therefore the full use of this “I AM” Knowledge must be understood and utilized by the individuals who live here in the present and near future.

地球和这里居住的人类正在进入“我是”时代，因此， “我是”知识的充分表达必须要让现在和不久的将来居住在这里的人们得到理解和利用。

The Great Cosmic Beings, the Ascended Masters, and Angelic Host have given tremendous Protection to America and her people—especially over the last five years. To all individuals who will call unto Them in the Name of the “Mighty I AM Presence” keep their feelings harmonized, and pour out intense Love continually to their own “Mighty I AM Presence” will be given Assistance without limit.

伟大的宇宙存有、扬升大师和天使之主为美国和她的人民提供了巨大的保护 —— 尤其是在过去的五年中。对于所有以“伟大我是临在”的名义呼请他们的人，保持他们的情感在和谐的状态，并不断地向他们自己的“伟大我是临在”倾洒强烈的爱，他们就会得到无限的帮助。

This book is especially charged with Beloved Saint Germain’s Ascended Master Consciousness and Love, and that of the other Ascended Masters concerned with this Activity, to bring Protection, Freedom, Illumination and Perfection to all who read or contact it, that all may express Mastery and also make their Ascension.

这本书尤其关注了敬爱的扬升大师圣哲曼、以及其他与这次活动有关的扬升大师的意识与爱，从而为所有阅读或接触到这本书的人带来保护、自由、开悟和完美，让所有人都表达出他们的主宰，并实现他们的扬升。

It is the privilege of every student of Light at this time to call in the Name of the “I AM Presence” with all earnestness and Love to these Great Ones, to protect America, the government and her people, to illumine all officials of the government, to perfect all within her borders, and to compel obedience everywhere unto “The Light of God that never fails.”

现在，每一位光之学生的特权就是以“我是临在”的名义，带着诚挚与爱，呼请这些伟大的存有保护美国、政府和她的子民，照亮所有政府官员，保护她境内所有的存有，并让所有的地方都服从于“永不失败的神圣之光”。

FORWARD

前言

THE thirty-three Discourses contained in this book were dictated over a visible Light and Sound Ray in our home during 1932 by the Ascended Master Saint Germain and those other Ascended Masters directly concerned with this Activity. The sound of His Voice was physically audible to everyone in the room. At times, His Visible, Tangible Presence also stood within the room, when He radiated the Power and Energy of the Light Rays to accomplish special work.

1932年，由扬升大师圣哲曼和其他直接参与这项行动的扬升大师，在我们的家中通过一道可见的圣光和可以听到的光射线，口述了本书中所包含的三十三篇开示。房间里的每个人都可以听到他的声音。有的时候，当他需要散发出圣光射线的力量和能量来完成某些特殊工作时，他的可见、有形临在也会站在房间中。

The training and preparation for Him to do this at the present crisis of the outer world was given us over a period of thirty years, that it might be accomplished at this time, and assistance from the Ascended Masters come forth in this way to protect and free all individuals who make conscious effort to correct themselves and attain Mastery over all things on this earth.

在当前外部世界的危机中，他为这件事情对我们进行的训练和准备横跨三十年，从而可以在这个时候完成，扬升大师们的帮助以这种方式出现，对那些做出有意识的努力改正自己并努力获得地球上超越所有事物掌控的个体来说，扬升大师会带来保护、并让那些人获得自由。

Never before, except in the Retreats of the Great White Brotherhood, has such intensified, transcendent Instruction concerning the “I AM” been given to individuals. Not for thousands of years have the True Inner Instruction and Use of the Sacred Flame been taught to mankind as Saint Germain and others of the Ascended Masters have revealed. Permission for Them to be explained to students as given forth in these Discourses has been granted to us by these Great Ones. Such Instruction as is herein contained has never been given to students until after a three year probation in the Retreats.

除了在伟大的白色兄弟会的静修之处，从来没有给予人们如此强化、卓越超然的有关“我是”的教导。几千年来，像圣哲曼和其他扬升大师所揭示的那些真正内在指导和神圣火焰的使用从未真正给予过人类。这些伟大的存有已经给予许可，从而可以在这些开示中向学生们进行解释。曾经这些指导只能提供给那些在白色兄弟会的静修之处度过三年训练期的人。

The condition of the outer world at the present time is such that those who sincerely seek the Light and want the constructive way of Life must have more than human help if they are to survive over the present period of chaos—which is the accumulated discord generated by humanity en masse through the centuries, and which is pressing heavily upon the outer experience of individuals today.

当前外部世界的状况是这样的，那些真正寻求圣光的人，想要以建设性的方式生活的人，若是想要在当前混乱的状况下存活下来，必须要获得超越人类的帮助 —— 当前的混乱来自几个世纪以来人类大众产生的不和谐的累计，并且对当今个人外在生命体验当中产生了沉重的压力。

The need of protection and help for the children of earth is so great at the present hour that the Great Ascended Masters and Legion of Light have “let the bars down,” so to speak, and have released this Inner Understanding of the “Mighty I AM Presence” into the outer Life of mankind, that all who want the Light and will make conscious effort to attain their own Freedom and Mastery may have the Assistance which will give them the Eternal Victory.

地球上的孩子们现在非常需要保护和帮助，所以扬升大师和光之军团“降低标准”，可以这么说，并把“伟大我是临在”的这种内在理解释放到人类外在的生命体验中，所有那些想要获得圣光、并有意识地努力获得他们自由和主宰的人，都可以获得帮助，从而给他们带来永恒的胜利。

Only fragments of the real understanding of the “I AM Presence” have been given to the outer world until now. The Ascended Master Saint Germain says: “It is the most important Understanding mankind can ever have, and there is no Freedom nor Perfection for the individual, except through this conscious application. ” He considers it of such paramount importance that He dictated more than thirty-three Discourses in which He explains what happens in the outer Life of the individual when one says “I AM.” He also says: “Nothing will bless the individual to so great a degree as the Conscious Understanding of this ‘Creative Word’.”

直至今天，只有对“我是临在”真正理解的碎片性信息给予了外部世界。扬升大师圣哲曼说：“这是人类所能拥有的最重要的字节，除非通过有意识地使用，否则对个人来说没有真正的自由和完美。”他认为这是极其重要的，所以他口述了三十三篇开示，在这些教导中，他解释了当一个人说“我是”时，他的外在生命会发生什么。他还说：“没有什么比有意识地理解这个‘创造性的词语’更能给一个人带来祝福的了。”

When the phrase, “ ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ come forth, ” is used throughout this series of books, it is always a call to the God Presence to pour forth or release the Outpouring of Perfection which the one making the call desires.

“请‘伟大的我是临在’降临”这个短语贯穿了本系列的书籍，这一直都是对神之临在的呼请，从而倾洒或释放出发出呼请的这个人所希望的完美倾泻。

It is always thought, felt, written or spoken with the feeling of intense LOVE. It is always a call to God, the “Mighty I AM Presence” to establish Perfection everywhere, and thus let God’s Will — Perfection— be made manifest on earth. When a command is given, it is always the outer self calling unto God, and in the Name of that “Mighty I AM Presence” commanding substance and energy to obey the Decree given—which is the Self-conscious effort required in order to open the door for the Intelligence of the “I AM” to release Its Perfect Manifestation.

总是要带着强烈的爱之感情去思考、感受、书写或说出它。这是对神的呼唤，“伟大的我是临在”可以在所有的地方建立完美，因此，让神的意志 —— 完美 —— 显化在地球上。当一个命令被发出，这总是来自外在自我对神的呼唤，以“伟大我是临在”的名义去命令物质和能量遵从给出的命令 —— 这是个人自我所需要付出的有意识的努力，从而为“我是”的智慧打开大门，释放它完美的显化。

This book not only carries the Ascended Masters’ Understanding of the “I AM” but is charged with Saint Germain’s Ascended Master Consciousness and the Ray of Light and Love from His Heart which is the Ascended Masters’ Feeling and Comprehension of Its full Power, forever Self-sustained.

这本书不仅承载了扬升大师对“我是”的理解，而且灌注着圣哲曼扬升大师的意识、以及来自他内心的光与爱的圣光，这就是扬升大师对“我是”全部力量的感受和理解，它永远是自我维系的。

May this book of “I AM” Discourses anchor the attention of all who read or contact it so powerfully upon each individual’s own Divinity, that the full Ascended Master Consciousness of the “Mighty I AM Presence” shall fill the earth, and release with the Power of a Thousand Suns the Eternal Dominion of “The Light of God that never fails.”

愿这本“我是”教导系列的书把所有阅读和接触过它的人的注意力强大地锚定在每个人自己的神性上，从而让扬升大师的“伟大我是临在”的全然意识遍布整个地球，并释放出一千颗太阳那样的能量，让“永不失败的神圣之光”处于永恒的主宰中。

INVOCATION: Thou Infinite, Mighty Presence, Thou All-Pervading Principle of Life! We give praise and thanks for Thy Wondrous Activity through all outer presence. Out of Thy Mighty Essence comes all that is, and oh! that humanity might understand, Thou art ever and forever Self-sustained. Thou Mighty, Active Principle of Life, surge forth in the outer activity of mankind and manifest Thy Supreme Justice now in all places.

祈请词：你无限伟大的临在，你无所不在的生命法则！我们为你通过所有外在表达出来的美妙活动给予赞美和感谢。你伟大的临在精华，让一切得以存在，让人类可以去明白，你永远是自我维系的。你伟大活跃的生命法则，现在就涌现在人类外在的活动中，现在就在世界上的各个角落彰显至高的正义！

Mighty Presence of Light—God in Action! govern the minds of mankind, holding them to Truth and Justice, and see that Thy Messengers are placed in all official positions. Let naught of the outer interfere, that none of humanity may accept any thought of deception.

圣光伟大的临在 —— 行动中的神！统领人们的心智，让他们坚守真理和正义，并确保你的使者被安置在所有官方的位置上。不受外界的干扰，也没有人去接受任何欺骗性的想法。

Mighty Presence of God in Action, surge forth in the minds of all, expressing Thy Conquering Presence.

问候：我把来自完美存有的祝福带给你们，他们密切关注并服务于众生。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

Life, in all Its Activities everywhere manifest, is God in Action; and it is only through lack of the understanding of applied thought and feeling that mankind is constantly interrupting the pure flow of that Perfect Essence of Life which would, without interference, naturally express Its Perfection everywhere.

生命，在其所有活动中无所不在，就是神的行动；正是由于在思想和情感中缺乏这一理解，人类才不停地去干扰生命完美精华的纯粹流动，若是没有干扰，这种完美的生命精华本可以在任何地方表达它的完美。

The natural tendency of Life is Love, Peace, Beauty, Harmony, and Opulence, for Life cares not who uses It, but is constantly surging to pour more of Its Perfection into manifestation, always with that lifting process which is ever inherent within Itself.      

生命的自然倾向是爱、和平、美丽、和谐和富足，因为生命并不在乎它的使用者，而是不停涌动，将其更多的完美倾洒进入显化中，这一切也总是伴随着它自身固有的提升过程。

“I AM”

“我是”

“I AM” is the Activity of “That Life.”

“我是”就是“那生命”的活动。

How strange it is that students with sincere interest do not seem to get the True Meaning of those two words.

真奇怪，有诚意的学生似乎并没有得到这两个字的真谛。

When you say and feel “I AM,” you release the spring of Eternal, Everlasting Life to flow on Its way unmolested. In other words, you open wide the door to Its natural flow. When you say “I AM not, ” you shut the door in the face of this Mighty Energy.

当你说出并感觉到“我是”时，你就释放了永恒、永生生命的泉水，让它畅通无阻地流淌。换句话说，你敞开了让它自然流淌的大门。当你说“我不是”时，你就是直接关闭了这股伟大能量的流通之门。

“I AM” is the Full Activity of God.

“我是”是神的全部活动。

Having placed before you so often the Truth of God in Action, I wish you to understand Its first expression in individualization. The first expression of every individual, everywhere in the Universe, either in spoken word, silent thought or feeling, is “I AM,” recognizing Its Own Conquering Divinity.

神处于行动中的这一真理如此反复地出现在你面前，是因为我希望你能明白它在个体化中的第一个表达。宇宙中每个角落每个个体的第一个表达，不论是口头表达、沉思默想、还是感觉，就是“我是”，这是它承认自己主宰的神性。

The student, endeavoring to understand and apply these mighty, yet simple Laws, must stand guard more strictly over his thought and expression—in word or otherwise; for every time you say “I AM not” “I cannot” “I have not,” you are, whether knowingly or unknowingly, throttling that “Great Presence” within you. This is just as tangible as if you placed your hands about the throat of an outer form, only with the outer form, your thought governing the hand, you can release it at any time; but when you make a declaration using the words “I AM not,” you set in motion Mighty, Limitless Energy that continues to act, unless it is recalled and the imperfection consumed and transmuted.

努力理解并应用这些伟大又简单的法则的学生，必须严格地保护自己的思想和表达 —— 无论是在语言上还是在其他方面；因为每次你说“我不是”“我不能”“我没有”的时候，无论是有意的还是无意的，你都在扼杀你内在的“伟大临在”。这就像是你把手扼在外在形态的喉咙上，不过在外在形态中，你的思想可以控制你的手，你随时可以松开，这些是可以触碰到的；但是当你使用“我不是”这样的宣告时，你就是扼杀了持续作用的强大、无限的能量，除非你召回，让不完美被吞噬和转化。

This shows you the enormous power you have to qualify this Mighty Energy of God, and I tell you Beloved Students, dynamite is less dangerous, for that would but liberate you from the body; while these thoughts sent forth ignorantly and ungoverned bind you upon the wheel of re-embodiment indefinitely.

这是在向你展示，你拥有为这种伟大神之能量赋予特质的巨大力量，我告诉你，亲爱的学生们，炸药的危险性较小，因为它只会让你从肉体中解脱出来；而这些无知且不受约束地散发出的想法反而会把你无限期地捆绑在不停转世的过程中。

Thus you can see how important it is for you to know what you are doing when you thoughtlessly use wrong expressions; because you are using the Most Divine Principle of Activity in the Universe— “I AM.”

由此可见，自己在轻率地使用错误的表达时是在做什么，了解这一点多么重要；因为你在使用宇宙中最神圣的活动法则 —— “我是”。

Do not misunderstand me—this is no idle, foreign, or Oriental expression, but the Highest Principle of Life used and expressed throughout every civilization that has ever existed—for the first expression every Self-conscious form of Life gives is “I AM.” It is only afterwards, in its contact with outer, wrongly qualified activity, that it begins to accept anything less than “I AM.”

不要误会我 —— 这不是无聊的、外来的或者东方式的表达，而是生命的最高法则，在曾经存在的每个文明中都被使用和表达 —— 因为每个自我意识的生命形态给出的第一个表达就是“我是”。只是后来，在与外在错误限定的活动接触后，它才开始接受“我是”之外的其他事物。

Now Dear Students, do you not see that when you say , “I AM sick,” you are just reversing this Principle of Life, which is naturally all Perfection; thus requalifying it by your willful ignorance with something which it never naturally possessed?

亲爱的学生，当你说，“我是生病了”，你难道没有看到，你在颠倒这个生命的法则吗，因为它自然是所有的完美；因此，通过你有意的无知，你赋予它从来没有拥有过的一些特质，这些本来是它在自然状态下所没有的。

Through long centuries of willful misunderstanding, humanity has charged the very atmosphere about them with falsehood and unreality, for I need not say to you that when you say “I AM sick,” it is an abject falsehood in respect to your Divinity, which cannot be sick.

Does this sound harsh to you?

经过几个世纪漫长的误解，人类已经用虚假和不真实的氛围充斥着围绕着他们的大气层，我并不需要告诉你，当你说出“我是生病了”时，这是对你神性的一种贬低性谎言，因为它不会生病。这听起来刺耳吗？

Then I say, think it over, and you will see what a blessing and release it can be to you.

接下来我告诉你，想一想就会明白，它对你来说是一种祝福的释放。

I say to you, Dear Students, in the Name of God, stop using these wrong expressions of your Godhead, of your Divinity, for it is impossible for you to have Freedom as long as you continue to do it. I cannot speak of this to you too often: that when you really recognize and accept the Mighty Presence of God in you, there are positively no adverse conditions.

我对你说，亲爱的学生们，以神的名义，停止使用这些对你神性的错误表达，因为只要你持续这么去做，就不可能拥有自由。我不能再更多地重复这一点：当你真正地意识到并接受你内在的伟大神之临在时，就不会出现负面的状况。

STOP! I say to you, giving power to the outer conditions, persons, places or things, and in the Name of God, every time you find yourself starting to say “I AM sick,” “I AM broke, ” “I AM not feeling well” instantly reverse this fatal condition to your progress; and declare silently with all the intensity of your being —, “I AM”—which is all health, opulence, Perfection, happiness, peace, and the power to recognize Perfection in yourself and everywhere else.

停下来！我告诉你们，不要再把力量给予外部的状况、人、地方或者事物；以神的名义，每次当你发现自己开始说“我病了”，“我破产了”，“我感觉不好”时，马上把这种灾难性的表达转化成你的进步，并用你存在的所有强度去默默地宣告 —— “我是” —— 所有的健康、富裕、完美、幸福、和平和力量，并认识到你自己以及无所不在的完美。

When you think of the expression “I AM,” it means that you know you have God in Action expressing in your Life. Do not let these false expressions continue to govern and limit you. Continually remind yourself: “I live, move, and have my Being and all outer expression in the full opulence of God, made manifest every moment. “

当你想到“我是”这一表达时，这意味着你知道，行动中的神正表达在你的生命中。不要让那些虚假的表达持续支配和限制你。不断地提醒你自己：“我生活、行动、我的存在和所有的外在表达，都在神的全然丰盛中。”

In thus reminding yourself of this Invincible, Unconquerable Presence, you keep the door open for Its pure, Invincible Essence and Intelligence to weave into your outer expression that wondrous Perfection.

通过这样提醒自己这位无敌的、不可征服的临在时，你就为它纯粹的、不可战胜的本质和智慧打开了大门，从而把那美妙的完美编织到你外在表达中。

I plead with you, Dear Ones everywhere, do not continue to use these wrong expressions thinking that in some hocus-pocus way you may slide past reaping the result. IT SIMPLY CANNOT BE DONE.

我恳求你们，各地的人们，不要继续使用那些错误的表达了，也不要认为你可能会以投机取巧的方式有所收获。它根本不是这样。

Many of you know that they use the branding- iron on the Western Frontier as a recognition of ownership by the ranchmen. So great is my desire to have you recognize and hold fast to the active Presence of God in you, that I almost long for a branding-iron to brand those words —”I AM” —into your consciousness for constant use; that you could not be drawn off the recognition, acceptance, and use of that Mighty, Glorious Presence of God, which you are.

你们中的很多人或许知道，在美国西部农场主会给牲畜用烙铁打上烙印，作为一种所有权的宣告。我渴望让你们认识，并牢牢地抓住你内在活跃的神之临在，我几乎渴望把“我是”这个词烙印在你的意识中，这样就会经常去使用了；这样你的注意力就不会从对神的伟大闪耀临在的认可、接受和使用中离开，而这才是真正的你。

I trust that all who may hear or read these words will feel the Power and the Mighty Conviction of this Truth that goes with them—leaping into action wherever expressed.

我相信所有那些听到或阅读到这些文字的人，会感受到这一真理的力量和强大信念伴随着他们 —— 在表达时体现出来。

If at any time anything less than Perfection attempts to make an appearance in your experience, declare vehemently that it is not true, and that you accept only God, which is Perfection in your Life, everywhere manifest. As long as you give way to accepting false appearances, you will have them expressed in your Life and experience. It is not, Dear Student, a matter of belief on your part whether you accept these Truths or not, but they are the Law, proven through long centuries of experience, and are placed before you for your Freedom.

在任何时候，如果任何不完美的事物试图出现在你的体验中，强烈地宣告，这是不真实的，你只接受神，也就是你让你生命中的完美进行无所不在的表达。只要你屈从于接受虚假的表象，你就会让它们在你的生命和体验中得到表达。亲爱的学生，这并不是你是否要去接受这些真理的信念问题，而是它们是法则，已经经过了数百年经验的验证，为了你的自由放置在你面前。

Awaken to the fact that your thought and feeling in the past have built—created—the inharmony of your world today. Arise! I say, Arise! and walk with the Father—the “I AM”—that you may be free from these limitations. There is only one thing in this Universe that can surround you with limitation, and that is accepting the outer appearance instead of the Mighty, Active Presence of God in you.

意识到，是你们过去建立起的想法和感觉 —— 创造了 —— 你们当今世界的不和谐。站起来，我说，站起来！与圣父同行 —— 与“我是”同行 —— 这样你们就可以摆脱这些限制。在这个宇宙中，只有一件事情可以限制你，那就是接受外在的表象，而不是你内在伟大的、活跃的神之临在。

The Western World likes to fool itself with the idea that it refuses to accept the ancient and Eastern idea of sorcery—in other words, the misuse of the Spiritual Powers. The worst kind of sorcery is being used in the political fields today that has ever been known in the history of mankind through the use of mental power—wrongly qualified.

西方世界喜欢用这样的观念自欺欺人，它拒绝接受古代和东方的巫术的理念 —— 即对灵性力量的滥用。当今政治领域正在使用的是人类历史上最卑劣的巫术，也就是利用被错误限定的心智力量。

It is today as it was at one time in Egypt. Those who misuse the mental power are binding themselves to the rack of inharmony, embodiment after embodiment.

现今的情况跟过去埃及出现的状况一样。那些滥用心智能量的人把自己束缚在不和谐的架构中，经历了一次又一次的转世。

Take the stand: “I do not take on conditions from anybody or anything about me but God— Good, and ‘I AM’ always God-commanded.” You need to acquire the habit of stilling yourself. Sit down three or four times a day and simply still the outer self. This will let the energy be supplied. Learn to command and control the energy in your body. If you want the energy still—be still. If you want the energy active—be active. You must stand up, face a thing, and rise above it. There is no other way.

采取这样的立场：“我不接受除了来自神之外的有关我的任何人和状况 —— 我只接受好的，‘我是’总处于神的命令中。”你需要养成让自己安静下来的习惯。每天安静地坐下来三到四次，让外在自我平静下来。这样会让能量得到供应。学会指挥和控制体内的能量。如果你想让能量静止下来 —— 就保持静止。如果你想让能量活跃 —— 就活跃起来。你必须站起来去面对一件事情，然后去超越它。别无他法。

The student should watch in every way for habits and break them up. He should not have to be told, but must look within himself and uproot whatever is not Perfect. This brings a freedom not possible in any other way.

学生们应该以各种方式去注意他们的习惯，并打破它们。他不应被告知，而是必须审视自己，并根除任何不完美的东西。这会带来其他任何方式都无法达到的自由。

The holding on of old habits is just like wearing old, worn-out garments. The student must not wait for someone else to think these things out for him. He must do it himself. It is not possible for anyone to do it but himself.

坚持旧习惯就像是穿着一件破旧的外衣。学生不能等着别人替他们想清楚这些事情。他必须自己去做。除了他自己，任何人都做不到。

In this Work and under this Radiation, everything that is latent in the individual is being brought forth to be consumed. Watch—that the attention does not become fixed on the thing you do not want.

在这样的工作和这种照耀之中，潜伏在一个人中的一切都会浮出水面被转化。要注意 —— 不要把注意力集中在你不想体验的东西上。

It is perfectly ridiculous to keep recalling things which have not worked out. If you have built your limitations for centuries and can, by this attention and self-effort, free yourself in a few years, isn’t it worth it? Is it not marvelous?

不断回忆失败的事情是非常荒谬的。如果你已经积累了几个世纪的限制，通过控制注意力和自我努力，你可以在几年内解放自己，这不值得吗？这不是很奇妙吗？

A humorous sense of getting away from a thing is sometimes the quickest and most powerful way of doing it, for a buoyant, joyous feeling releases the energy that many times enables a very wonderful manifestation to take place.

以一种幽默的方式远离一件事情，有时候是最快最有力的方式，因为一种轻盈、快乐的感觉会释放很多能量。很多时候，这种能量会让非常美妙的显化得以发生。

If one will buckle down to brass tacks and call on the Law of Forgiveness, he can then consume all past creations in the Consuming Flame and be free. You must be conscious that the Flame is the Active Presence of God doing the consuming.

如果一个人愿意认真努力地考虑这些实质性的问题，并呼请宽恕法则，那么他就可以在吞噬火焰中转化所有过去的创造，并获得自由。你必须意识到，火焰是神活跃的临在，进行着吞噬。

The Freedom of God is here in action.

神之自由在这里发挥作用。

When you have a feeling to do a certain constructive thing, go ahead, stick to it and do it, if the heavens fall. Whether the manifestation comes now or not should not enter into your consciousness at all.

当你感觉有必要去做某件建设性的事情时，勇往直前，坚持去做，天塌了又何妨。是否现在就实现，还是以后实现，这一点根本不应该出现在你的意识中。

Even when students only know a thing intellectually, they should not allow the mind to keep recalling wrong conditions when they know what this activity does to their success. It is unbelievable that people will not conquer this enemy in their consciousness. No student can ever gain the victory until he stops turning back to the old, negative conditions he is trying to get rid of.

即便当学生们只在脑中知道一件事情，他们也不应该让头脑继续去回忆错误的状况，他们应该知道这样的活动对他们的成功有什么影响。令人难以置信的是，人们在他们的意识中无法战胜这一敌人。除非学生停止沉迷回到他试图摆脱的陈旧的负面状况，否则，他永远不会取得成功。

The whole work of a teacher is to get some means and explanation over to the student of the activity of acceptance. What the mind accepts is that which the individual agrees with through his attention, by letting the two become one. When the mind accepts and agrees with a thing or condition, the individual decrees it into his world. Whatever you let the attention rest upon, you are agreeing with and accepting, because through the attention you have let the mind become one with it.

一位老师的全部工作就是把一些方法和解释传授给处于接受状态的学生。心智接受的内容是这个人得到他的注意力同意的，让这两者合二为一。当心智接受并同意某一事物或状况，这个人就是下达了喻令，让它进入自己的世界中。不论你让注意力停留在哪里，你就是在同意和接受，因为通过注意力，你让心智与它合而为一。

If an individual were to see a rattlesnake coiled, would he walk right up to be struck? Certainly not! Yet this is what students are doing when they let their attention turn back to their troubles. Such habits are only past momentum given a specific quality.

如果一个人看到一条盘绕着的响尾蛇，它会直接撞上去吗？当然不！然而，当学生把注意力转向他们的麻烦时，他们就是在这么做。这样的习惯只是被赋予了某种特质的过去的势头。

There are only two activities in Life, and if you will not let the Inner govern according to Its plan of Perfection, then the outer must.

生命只有两种活动，如果你不让内在根据它的完美进化进行掌控，那么外在一定会接管。

When a constructive picture is flashed to your mind, it is a reality. When you recall it as a mental picture and hold it again, it calls forth the reality.

当一幅建设性的画面闪现过你的脑海，它就是一种实相。当你在心智当中去回忆它，并坚持这么做，它就会带来这种实相。

One can become so aware of his own God Presence that at any time he can see and feel Its Radiance pouring out to him.

一个人可以变得对他自己的神之临在非常有意识，以至于他可以在任何时候都可以看到并感觉到它的光芒倾泻到他身上。

For things it does not want, the outer has all the confidence in the world. It is up to the student to compel it to have the same confidence for the Perfection of God that it has for the imperfection of the senses.

对那些不喜欢东西的存在而言，外在自我总是在世界上有着各种各样的信心。学生有责任让自己对神之完美拥有同样的信心，就像知道感官可以创造不完美那种信心一样。

The student must always rely on himself. He must always think, “What can I do to intensify this activity from the hints given? “

学生必须始终依靠自己。他必须总是这样去思考，“根据给出的提示，我可以做些什么，来加强这种活动？”

BENEDICTION: Mighty Perfected Ones! As we receive Thy Magic Circle of Protection, as we receive and are enfolded in Thy Mighty Opulent Presence, O Master Within! we accept fully that Opulence made manifest in our outer experience and use. We give praise and thanks for Thy Wisdom in Its use. We give praise and thanks that we have the full strength to accept only Thy Mighty Active Presence at all times, and to refuse acceptance to anything unlike Thee.

祝福：伟大的完美者！当我们接受你的魔法保护圈时，当我们接受、并被你伟大丰盛的临在包围时，噢，内在的上师！你们完全接受丰盛在我们的外在体验和使用中表达出来。我们赞美并感谢你智慧的运用。我们赞美并感谢，我们用充分的勇气，在任何时候只接受你那伟大活跃的临在，拒绝接受任何与你不校准的存在。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

When Jesus said: ‘I AM’ the Resurrection and the Life. He gave forth one of the mightiest utterances that can well be expressed.

当耶稣说：‘我是’复活，也是生命。他给予的是可以表达出的最伟大的话语之一。

When He said “I AM,” He did not refer to the outer expression, but He did refer to the Mighty Master Presence—God Within, because He repeatedly said: “I of myself can do nothing. It is the Father within— the ‘I AM’ —that doeth the works.”

当他说“我是”时，他并不是指外在的表达，而是指内在的神 —— 伟大主宰临在，因为他反复地说：“我靠自己则无能为力。是内在的圣父 —— ‘我是’ —— 在发挥作用。”

Again Jesus said: “ ‘I AM’ the Way, the Life, and the Truth,” giving recognition to the One and Only Power—God in Action within him.

耶稣再次说：“‘我是’道路、生命和真理，”承认了那一位、也是唯一的力量 —— 他内在行动的神。

Again He said: “ ‘I AM’ the ‘Light’ that lighteth every man that cometh into the world“ prefacing every Statement of vital importance with the Words “I AM.”

他再次说：“‘我是’照亮每个来到这世界上的人的‘光’。”在每一个至关重要的声明之前，都是用“我是”作为开头。

Contemplating “I AM” as anything and everything you wish to be is one of the mightiest means of loosing the Inner God Power, Love, Wisdom and Truth, and setting It into action in the outer experience.

“我是”看作你希望成为的任何事物，这是让内在的神之力量、爱、智慧和真理释放出来，并把它带入外在体验的最强大方法之一。

Again let us refer to His mighty utterance, perhaps one of the greatest ever spoken into the outer expression: “ ‘I AM’ the Open Door which no man can shut.” Do you not see how very vital this is when you come to review understandingly these Mighty Statements?

再次，让我们参考他的伟大话语，这句话或许是有史以来最伟大的外在表达之一：“‘我是’那扇敞开的门，没有人可以关闭。”当你带着理解去审视这些伟大的表达时，你难道没有看出它们是多么重要吗？

When you recognize and accept fully “I AM” as the Mighty Presence of God in you一in action—you will have taken one of the greatest steps to liberation.

当你完全认可并接受“我是”，把它作为你内在的 —— 行动中的 —— 伟大神之临在，你就迈出了通往解放的最重要的一步。

Now mark you, in the utterance of the Truth that, ” ‘I AM’ the Open Door which no man can shut,” if you can but realize it, you have the key that allows you to step through the veil of flesh, carrying with you all consciousness that you have generated or accumulated which is imperfect; and there transmute it, or in other words, raise it into that Perfection into which you have stepped.

现在请你注意，在真理的表达中，“‘我是’那扇敞开的门，没有人可以关闭。”若是你可以领悟到这一点，你就拥有了一把钥匙，可以让你穿越包围着物质层面的帷幕，携带着你产生或者积累的所有不完美的意识，在那里转化它，换而言之，在那里把它提升到你已经进入的完美状态。

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the importance of contemplating as often as possible the “I AM” as the Mighty, Active Presence of God in you, in your home, in your world, in your affairs. Every breath you breathe is God in Action in you. Your ability to express or send forth thought and feeling is God acting in you. You, having free will, it is entirely up to you to qualify the energy sent forth in your thought and feeling, and determine how it shall act for you.

把“我是”看作你内在、你家庭中、你所在环境中、你事务中伟大活跃的神之临在，并尽可能地多去沉思，这一点的重要性怎么强调都不过分。你呼吸的每一口气，都是神在你内在的行动。你进行表达、或者是发出某种思想和情感的能力，也是神通过你进行行动。你拥有自由意志，如何去限定你思想和情感中散发出的能量，并决定它如何为你行动，这一切完全取决于你。

No one can say: “How shall I know how to qualify this energy? ” for everyone knows the difference between destructive and constructive thought, feeling, and action.

没有人可以去发问：“我怎么知道如何去限定这种能量？”因为每个人都知道破坏性与建设性的想法、情感和行动之间的区别。

The student, in receiving instruction, should constantly analyze the motive back of the question to detect if in that motive there is a feeling of intellectual pride, arrogance or stubbornness in the outer mind and body. If there is within the motive a lurking desire to argue and prove the instruction wrong rather than receive the Blessing and Truth intended, the individual has unknowingly shut the door, for the time being, to his ability to receive the good offered.

学生在接受这些指导时，要不断地去分析这个提问背后的动机，去探查这动机背后是否有一种智力上的优越感、外在心智和情感上是否有一种傲慢或顽固的感觉。如果动机中潜藏着一种要去争辩、去证明这些指引是错误的欲望，而不是去接收本应有的祝福和真理，那么这个人就已经在不知不觉中，暂时性地关闭了对被给予的美好事物的接收能力。

Again may I remind the students, regardless of their personal opinions as to what the Truth shall be, I have proven through many centuries, these condensed Instructions now being given forth. If one wants to receive the greatest benefit possible and the comprehension that will be absolute, certain freedom and liberation, listen with an entirely open mind, with the consciousness that the “I AM’’ —the Active Presence of God in you—is your certain ability to receive, accept, and apply without limit the Instruction which is being given forth with an accompanying Radiance—which will enable certain students at this time to comprehend these simple, yet mighty Assertions of Truth to their great Blessing and Freedom.

再次让我提醒学生们，不论他们个人对真理应该如何的观点是什么，在过去的很多世纪，我已经给出了证明，现在，这些浓缩的指引也正在被给出。如果一个人想要获得可能获得的最大益处，以及绝对的理解、确切的自由和解脱，那么就要以完全敞开的心态来聆听，并意识到“我是” —— 你内在活跃的神之临在 —— 就是你接收、接受和应用的确切能力，而且不受限制，现在给出的这些指引，伴随着光芒 —— 会让某些学生在这个时间理解这些简单而又强大的真理表达，从而进入到他们的伟大祝福和自由之中。

The admonition has been before humanity through many centuries: ‘‘Ye cannot serve two masters.” Why is this so? First: because there is only One Intelligence, One Presence, One Power that can act, and that is the Presence of God acting in you. When you turn to the outer manifestation and give all kinds of expressions and appearances power, you are attempting to serve a false, usurping master, because the outer expression can only find an appearance through the use of God’s Mighty Energy.

几个世纪以来，这个忠告一直摆在人类面前：“你们不能侍奉两个主人。”为什么会这样？首先，因为只存在一种智能、一种临在、一种力量在发挥作用，那就是你内在的神之临在在行动。当你转向外在的表达，并赋予那些各式各样的表达和表相以力量时，你就是在试图侍奉一位虚假的、篡位的主人。因为外在的表达只能通过伟大的神之能量才会拥有色相。

Your ability to lift your hand and the Life flowing through the nervous system of your outer form is “God in Action” in your body, through your mind.

你抬起手臂的能力，还有流经你外在形态中神经系统的生命力，是“行动中的神”通过心智，作用在你的身体。

Dear Students, try to use this simple means as a reminder of God in Action in you. When you start to go down the street, think for an instant: “This is God’s Intelligence and Power by which I walk, and this is His Intelligence by which I know where ‘I AM, going.” Thus you will see that it is no longer possible to go on without understanding that every move you make is God in Action. Every thought in your mind is God’s Energy, which enables you to think. When you know this is a fact—and there is no disputing it — why not adore, give full confidence to, trust in, have faith in, and accept this Mighty Presence of God in Action in you; instead of looking to the outer expression which is clothed, qualified, and colored by the outer, or human concept of things, regardless of the One Mighty Presence which enables the outer to express.

亲爱的学生们，试着使用这个简单的方法来提醒自己，是神在你之中进行表达。当你走在街上时，想一想：“我走路所使用的是神的智能和力量，通过他的智能，我才知道‘我是去哪儿’。因此，你会看到，如果你不理解你走的每一步都是神在进行表达，就不可能继续下去。你心智中的每一个想法都是神的能量，它使你能够思考。当你知道这是一个事实时 —— 而且没有争议 —— 那么为什么不去敬重、给予充分的信心、去相信、信任并接受这位伟大的神之临在在你身上的表达；而不是看向外在表达，外在的表达被外在心智、人类对事物的理念所覆盖、限定和着色，忽视了是那一位伟大临在让外在得以表达。”

All outer form and its attendant expression is but the experience Life by which each individual may learn—through his own experiences—the True Source of his Being, and come again into the Fullness of Perfection, through the Self-conscious knowing thus attained.

所有的外在形态及其伴随着的表达都不过是生命体验，通过这些一个人去学习 —— 通过他自己的体验 —— 去学习他存在的真正源头，并通过由此获得的自我意识知晓，再次进入全然的完美中。

The outer experience of Life is but a constant, changing, passing picture that the outer mind has created in its pretense (imagination) of being the Real Actor. Thus is the attention so constantly fixed upon the outer, which alone contains imperfection, that the Children of God have forgotten their own Divinity and must come back to It again.

生命的外在体验不过是外在心智假装（想象）自己成为了真正的行动者，创造出了那些持续变化、转瞬即逝的画面。因此注意力才会持续地放在外在，以至于神之子忘记了他们自己的神性，而只有外在才会包含不完美，现在他们必须把注意力再次放在内在的临在上。

God is the Giver, the Receiver, and the Gift, and is the Sole Owner of all the intelligence, substance, energy and opulence there is in the Universe.

神是给予者、接收者，也是礼物，是宇宙中所有智能、物质、能量和财富的唯一所有者。

If the Children of God would learn to give for the joy of giving, whether it be love, money, service, or whatever it may be, they would open the door to such vast opulence that it would be impossible to want for a single thing in the outer expression.

若是神之子们愿意学习去为了给予的快乐而给予，不论是爱、金钱、服务或是其他，他们都会打开通往巨大丰盛的大门，以至于他不会想要外在表达中的任何东西。

The unfortunate thing in humanity—which has caused such rampant selfishness and unprecedented condemnation of each other—is the idea of claiming ownership to these wonderful Blessings of God; for there is but One Love acting, One Intelligence, Power and Substance, and that is God in every individual. The Warning that should be placed before every student and individual is to guard against the desire of the outer self to claim power of its own. If in every act of the personality, God were given full credit, transformations unbelievable could not help taking place in the one thus giving full credit and power where it belongs.

人类的不幸 —— 导致了如此猖獗的自私和前所未有的互相谴责 —— 就是去宣称他们才是神美妙祝福的所有者；因为只有一种爱在起作用，一种智能、力量和物质，那就是每个人内在的神。应该摆放在每个学生和每个人面前的警告，就是要警惕外在自我去宣称这力量是他所有。若是在人格的每一个行动中，去给予神全部的认可，那么令人难以置信的转变将会不可避免地发生在这个人身上，把行动背后的力量完全交付给其所属。

There has rarely been a correct understanding of supply and demand. There is positively abundant supply omnipresent, but the demand for it must be made before the Law of the Universe permits it to come into the expression and use of the individual.

很少有人对供需关系有着正确的理解。的确存在着无处不在的丰盛供应，但是想要得到，必须要遵从宇宙法则，从而让它进入表达，为个人所有。

The individual, having free will, must consciously, with full determination, make the demand, and it cannot fail to come forth into expression—no matter what it is—so long as the individual holds an unwavering, determined consciousness.

拥有自由意志的个体，必须有意识地、坚定地提出这种要求，那么它就不可能不进入表达之中 —— 不论它是什么 —— 只要这个人保持坚定不移的意识状态。

This simple Statement used with sincere determination: “‘I AM’ the great Opulence of God made visible in my use right now and continuously” will bring to the individual all he can possibly use.

带着诚恳的决心来使用这个简单的陈述句：“‘我是’神的伟大富足，现在就在我眼前为我使用，而且会持续为我所用。”这句话会为这个人带来他可能使用的一切。

The limiting element so many students seem to be unaware of is that they start out declaring the Truth, for instance, as in the above Statement, but before many hours have passed over their heads, if they were to analyze themselves conscientiously, they would find in their feelings lurking doubt or fear, for both these are feelings. Naturally, this neutralizes to a large extent the constructive force that would quickly bring about the fulfillment of the desire or demand.

很多学生尚未意识到的限制性因素是，他们最初去宣告真理，比如上面的这句陈述，但是，这句话还没在他们的脑海中度过几个小时，如果他们去认真地分析自己，他们就会发现他们的情感中存在着怀疑或恐惧，或者这两种感受都在。自然，这会在很大程度上抵消迅速实现愿望或是要求的建设性力量。

Once a student can become fully aware that every right desire or wish is God in Action, propelling his energy forth to full accomplishment, and is always Self-sustained, he would become aware of the Limitless Love, Power and Intelligence he has with which to accomplish any given purpose.

一旦学生可以完全地意识到，每一个正确的愿望或意愿，都是神在行动，推动他的能量去达成全然的成就，而且这能量总是自我维系的，他会意识到他拥有无限的爱、力量和智慧，来达成任何既定的目标。

With this simple understanding, the word failure would be completely wiped out from his world, and in a very short time from his consciousness, because he would see that he was wielding Intelligence and Power that could not fail. Thus, students and individuals come into their Full Dominion as God intends. It was never intended by the Great, All-wise, All-loving Father that any of His children should want for a single thing; but because they allow their attention to become fixed on the outer appearance, which is like the changing sands of the desert, they have, knowingly or unknowingly, cut themselves off, to a large degree, from that Great Opulence and Intelligence.

有了这个简单的理解，失败这个词就会从他的世界彻底消失，很快也会从他的意识中消失，因为他看到自己正在运用的是不会失败的智能和力量。因此，学生和人们按照神的意愿进入他们全然的主宰之中。伟大、智慧、有爱的圣父从来没有打算让他的孩子去向外渴求任何什么东西，但是，因为他们允许让自己的注意力集中在表相上，而表相就像是沙漠中不断流逝的沙子那样，所以，他们有意无意地在很大程度上切断了自己与丰盛富足和智慧的连结。

This Great Opulence is their birthright which everyone can have who will again turn to the “I AM’’ —the Active Principle of God forever within himself— as the Only Source of Active Life, Intelligence and Opulence.

这种丰盛富足是他们与生俱来的权利，每个人都可以拥有，他们只需要再次把注意力转向“我是” —— 他们内在的活跃的神之法则 —— 并作为活跃着的生命、智慧和丰盛的唯一源泉。

All through the ages there have been certain standards of conduct necessary for the student who desires to reach beyond certain attainments. This is the conserving and governing of the Life Force, through the sex.

古往今来，对于那些渴望超越某些特定成就的学生来说，某些行为标准是必须的。这就是通过性来保存和管理生命力。

For an individual who has been using this energy without any thought of governing it to suddenly say, ‘‘I will cease this,” cut it off as it were, without understanding the correct attitude of consciousness, would be simply suppressing a flow of energy which he has caused to flow in the wrong direction. Any student who wishes to govern this will find this simple Statement the most efficient—if used understandingly—of any one particular thing that can be given. This will normally and naturally govern the flow of the Life Energy and bring it back into its natural channels. It is the Mighty Statement of Jesus: ” ‘I AM’ the Resurrection and the Life.”

对于一个一直在使用这种能量但是从来没有想过去控制它的人来说，突然说出：“我会停止这个。”若是在没有对这种意识正确态度的理解之上，来切断这种能量，他之前是让能量流向了错误的方向，但这么做只会压制向错误方向流动的能量。任何一位想要管理这种生命能量的人会发现下面这个简单的肯定句是最有效的 —— 若是在理解的基础上进行使用的话 —— 它可以改善任何的状况。这句话会正常且自然而然地来管理生命能量的流动，并将其带回到它自然的能量管道中。这就是耶稣那句强有力的陈述：“‘我是’复活和生命。”

This Statement will not only purify the thought, but is the most powerful, lifting, adjusting force that can be used for the correction of this greatest of barriers to the Full Height of Spiritual Attainment. Anyone who begins to feel the Inner Impulse to correct this condition and will use this Statement earnestly and continuously will raise this marvelous current of energy to the highest center in the brain, as was originally intended.

这句肯定句不仅会净化思想，而且也是最强大、最具有提升性和调整性的力量，可以用来纠正阻碍达成灵性成就全然高度的这一最大障碍。任何一位感受内在脉动，想要纠正这种状况的人，要去真诚、持续地使用这句肯定句，他就会把这种美妙的能量流提升到大脑的最高中心，这是该能量最初要到达的地方。

He will find his mind flooded with the most marvelous ideas—with the abundant, sustaining Power and ability coming into expression and use for the blessing of all mankind. I ask any student to try this and watch the results in his own mind and body.

他会发现自己的心智中充满了最美妙的想法 —— 丰富持久的生命力和能量进入表达之中，用于造福全人类。我请求每一位学生都去尝试这么做，并在他自己的心智和身体上去观察结果。

Feel deeply this Statement of Jesus: “ ‘I AM’ the Resurrection and the Life.” Repeat it three times, either silently or audibly, and notice the lifting of consciousness which you will experience. There may be some who will need to try this several times in order to feel the amazing uplift that others will experience at the first trial. This will show you in a small way what can be done by its continued use.

去深深地感受基督的这句陈述：“‘我是’复活和生命。”重复三遍，不论是默读还是有声，注意到你将要体验到的意识提升。有些人可能需要多去尝试几次，才能感受到其他人在第一次使用这句肯定句时所体验到的美妙提升。这只是通过一种细微的方式来展示给你看，若是持续地去使用它，可以达成什么。

There is only one means of overcoming, or rising out of anything, and that is, after you know what it is you are to rise out of, to take your outer attention completely away from it, fixing it firmly upon the above Statement. Any condition in the outer experience that one wishes to overcome can readily be accomplished by the use of this Statement, as well as using it to change the flow of the misdirected energy.

只有一种方式可以克服或摆脱任何什么事情，那就是在你知道你想要摆脱什么之后，把你外在的注意力从它身上完全移开，并把注意力牢牢地放在上面那句陈述上。一个人想要去克服的任何外在体验中的状况，都可以通过使用这句陈述来轻松实现，同时用它来改变被错误引导的能量流动。

I had one student who felt the Inner Impulse to redirect this Mighty Energy, and the use of this single Statement alone enabled her with little assistance to raise her body. In one year a marvelous transformation took place in her entire outer appearance.

我曾有一位学生，她感受到要重新引导这种伟大能量的内在脉动，仅仅是使用这一句肯定句，就让她在几乎没有任何外来的帮助下提升了她的身体。在一年过后，她的整个外表发生了美妙的转变。

It seems incredible that in the recorded Statements accredited to Jesus—which were only a part of what He really gave forth—that so few of humanity would receive the mighty import of those wonderful Words of Wisdom. At no time in the history of the world have so many Mighty Statements been given as He taught. Every one of these, when conscientiously used, holds within it the attendant Radiance and accomplishment with which He attained. You not only have this Power of the “I AM,” but His individual Assistance also when these Statements are used. One should often contemplate the true meaning of these Mighty Statements of Jesus. When once you understand that your thought, feeling and expression of “I AM” sets the Mighty God Power in you into action—without any limit —then you receive that upon which the desire is fixed.

令人难以置信的是，在记录下来的耶稣给予的陈述中 —— 那些仅仅是他真正给出的一小部分 —— 但是很少有人能接收到这些神奇智慧之言的强大含义。在当今世界历史上，从来没有像他所教导的那样给出过如此强大的陈述。这些陈述中的每一句，当认真去使用时，每一句陈述的内在都蕴含着他取得的荣耀和成就中散发的光芒。你不仅仅拥有了“我是”的力量，在使用这些陈述时，你也可以获得他个人的协助。人们应该常常去思考耶稣给出的这些伟大陈述的真正含义。一旦你明白了你的思想、情感和“我是”表达，就是把你内在的伟大神之力量付诸于行动 —— 不受任何限制 —— 那么你就会接收到你的心愿所在。

It should be no trouble for the student to see and understand that the outer appearance is but man’s distorted creation—by claiming the outer as a source of power—when a moment’s contemplation will cause him to realize that there is but One Love, Intelligence, and Power which can act, and that is God.

对于学生来说，看到并理解外在的表象不过是人类 —— 通过宣称外在才是力量的源泉 —— 进行的扭曲创造，片刻的沉思会让他意识到，只存在一种有着爱、智慧和力量的活跃能量，那就是神。

The human, or outer defects or discrepancies, have nothing to do with the Omnipresent Perfection of God, for anything imperfect is the creation of the outer concept of mankind.

人类、外在的缺陷或差异，与神无所不在的完美无关，因为所有不完美的事物都是人类外在心智的概念创造的。

If man will turn to the “Mighty I AM’’ within, knowing that God is all Perfection, and that all outer appearance is but man’s creation through the misuse of the God Power, he will see at once that if he sincerely contemplates and accepts the Perfection of God, he will cause to come into manifestation in his Life and experience this same Mighty Perfection.

如果一个人转向内在的“伟大我是”，知道神是全然的完美，知道所有外在的表象不过是人类滥用神的力量进行的创造，他就会立即看到，如果他去真诚地思考并接受神之完美，他就会让它进入他生命的表达之中，并体验到同样强大的完美。

There is no possible means of bringing this Perfection into your mind, body and outer experience except by knowing and accepting the Mighty, Active Presence of God in you. Such full recognition will cause this Inner Power to propel this Perfection of God into your outer visible experience.

除非知晓并接受你内在伟大活跃的神之临在，否则没有其他方法可以把这种完美带入到你的心智、身体和外在表达中。这种完全的接受和承认，会让这种内在的力量去推动神之完美进入到你外在可见的体验中。

Say to students: ” ‘I AM’ putting forth, as a Messenger of this Truth, Statements of Truth which will positively produce results—if unwaveringly held to and used.’’ Students think things do not work because they do a thing today and forget it all next week.

对学生们说：“作为这一真理的使者，‘我是’给予了真理的陈述，若是可以坚定不移地去坚持和使用这些陈述句，将会产生积极的结果。”学生们认为事情行不通，是因为他们今天去做了一件事，下周就把它忘干净了。

The desire for Light and Truth is the Presence of God in the desire — propelling Itself forth into action. For illumination use the Statement:

对圣光和真理的渴望就是神之临在的渴望 —— 渴望把自己带入到表达之中。要获得启发，请使用下面的陈述：

” ‘I AM’ the full comprehension and illumination of this thing I want to know and understand. “

“‘我是’自己想要明白和理解事物的全然理解和启发。”

The day your eyes are opened to see some of these Marvelous Ascended Beings, the joy will last through eternity.

当你睁开双眼看到这些神奇的扬升存有的那天，你的喜悦会永远持续下去。

If one does not take the attitude that: “I have the ability to do this” he never in the world can accomplish the thing he wishes to do.

若是一个人不采取“我有能力做到这一点”的态度，他就永远无法完成他想要做的事情。

The moment you express, ” ‘I AM’ the Resurrection and the Life. ” —in thought and feeling—it immediately turns all the energy of your Being to the center in the brain which is the Source of your Being.

当你表达出“‘我是’复活和生命”的那一刻 —— 在你的思想和情感中表达出来 —— 它会即刻把你存在的所有能量转向大脑的中心，那里是你存在的源头。

You cannot overestimate the Power in this Statement. There is no limit to what you can do with it. It was the Statement that Jesus used most in his most difficult trials.

你永远也不会高估了这句陈述的力量。你用它做的事情没有限制。这句话也是耶稣在度过他最困难考验时所使用的。

Always know that when you decree a constructive thing, it is God in you propelling you to do it.

永远都要知道，当你决定要去做一件建设性的事情时，是你内在的神在推动你去做。

It is the most foolish question imaginable to ask, “Have you proved this in your own experience?” Each individual has to prove it for himself or it will mean nothing to him. Nothing ever really means anything to anyone until he uses it.

“你用自己的经验证明过这一点吗？”这是可以想象得到的最愚蠢的问题。每个人都必须为自己去证明这一点，否则对他来说就没有意义。直至他开始使用这句陈述之前，任何东西对任何人来说都没有真正的意义。

The feeling carries with it a certain coexistent sight. One often feels a thing with such clearness that he really sees it from the Inner Standpoint.

这种感觉也伴随着某种共存的视野。一个人常常会感觉他对一件事情非常清晰，从而他真的可以从内在的视角来看待它。

As you enter the Ascended State, thought, feeling, seeing, and color are almost simultaneously manifest.

当你进入扬升状态后，所想、所感、所见，以及色彩，几乎是同时显现。

Harmonious sound is quiet. This is why ravishing music is the most quieting in its effect, while bombastic music is just the opposite.

和谐的声音是安静的。这也就是为什么令人陶醉的音乐最具安静的效果，而浮夸的音乐带来的效果恰恰相反。

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty, Majestic, Conquering “I AM,” we give praise and thanks for our comprehension of Thee as God Acting in us; and with Thy Mighty Presence and Radiance, cause us to feel the Mighty Import of Thy Mighty Truth and Wondrous Presence. When we contemplate Thee, let Thy Mighty Radiance fill us with that comprehending Consciousness to know and apply Thy Assertions of Truth more and more perfectly. We give praise and thanks for Thy Mighty Perfection and Truth for all those who look unwaveringly to Thee.

致辞：那伟大、庄严、征服的“我是”，我们赞美并感谢你，因为我们理解你是我们内在行动中的神；以你强大的临在和光辉，让我们感受到你那伟大真理和美妙临在的强大意义。当我们默观你时，让你那伟大的光辉充满我们理解性的意识，从而可以越来越完美地了解和使用你主张的真理。我们为你那伟大的完美和真理、以及那些坚定不移地望向你的人们，致以赞美和感激。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

From within the Radiance of the Great Electronic Belt “I AM” projecting this today.

今天，从伟大电子环状带“我是”的光芒中投射出来。

From the Heart of the Golden City the Twin Rays come forth, upon which are the speech, the Light, and the sound.

从黄金之城的核心到来双生光，其上有言语、光和声音。

The time has rapidly enfolded us when we must be more aware of the Great Electronic Belts encompassing all creation from the Godhead to the individual.

这样的时间已经来到我们身边，我们必须更加意识到，从神到个体化的人，伟大电子环状带包含了所有一切造物。

The Etheric Belt around the Golden City is impenetrable—far more so than a wall of many feet of steel would be.

环绕着黄金之城的以太带是坚不可摧的 —— 远远比一堵数英尺厚的钢墙更加牢固。

So in a lesser degree may the individual, with suf­ficient comprehension of the Active Principle of the God Self, surround himself with an Electronic Belt or Circle, which he may qualify in any manner he may choose; but woe be unto the individual who qualifies it destructively.

因此，在较小的范围，愿每个对神之自我的运作法则有着足够理解的人，让他自己被电子环状带或光圈包围着，他可以以自己选择的方式来赋予此能量以特性，但是若是去破坏性地使用他，那个个体就会给他自己招致灾难。

If anyone should be foolish enough to do this, he would find this Belt of Electronic Force closing in upon his own outer form, and it would be consumed; but those who with wisdom build and qualify it with God’s Mighty Love and constructive Power will find themselves moving in a world untouched by the ignorance of mankind.

若是一个人愚蠢到这样做，他会发现这道电子力量带会在他外在形态之上关闭，它会被吞噬；但是那些使用智慧来构建这道电子环状带，并赋予其神的伟大之爱和建设性力量特性的人，会发现他们在一个不受人类无知影响的世界中前行。

The Cosmic Period has arrived when those who have attained a certain degree of understanding must create, apply, and use this Wondrous Electronic Circle. Every creation that is Self-conscious action has this Circle of pure Electronic Force about it naturally, but to a large degree its force is ungoverned, therefore dissipated.

宇宙伟大的周期已经到来，那些到达一定程度理解的人必须要去创造、应用和使用这道美妙的电子环状带。每一个具有自我意识的创造行为都自然而然地拥有一道纯粹的电子力带，但是在很大程度上，这种力量没有处于控制之中，因此消散了。

In consciously creating this Mighty Ring of Pure Electronic Force, you stop all leaks in the generation of this Limitless Essence, and hold it in reserve for conscious use and direction. After a few months of this conscious creative activity of and within this Electronic Ring, one will need to be very careful in loosing or directing this Force in any manner except by Divine Love.

在有意识地创造这道拥有纯粹电子力量的伟大环状带时，你可以阻止这种无限精华产生过程中的所有泄露，并把它保存下来供你有意识地使用和引导。在这电子环中进行了几个月的这种有意识的创造性活动之后，除了以神圣之爱的方式之外，一个人要非常小心地去释放或引导这种力量。

In the beginning of man’s individualization, he was naturally surrounded by this Magic Circle, but as the consciousness was lowered more and more, rents were made in this Great Circle of Force, causing leaks, as it were, until It has almost entirely disappeared. This, however, was not a conscious creation of the in­dividual, but was a natural, enfolding circle.

在一个人的个体化之初，他天然地就被这个魔法环包围着，但是随着意识层级越来越低，这个伟大的力场中出现了裂痕，导致漏洞，直至它几乎完全消失。这个环场并不是这个个体有意识的创造，而是自然存在的、将他包裹起来的环形场。

Now students of the Light must go to work with no uncertainty and consciously create this Electronic Belt about themselves—visualizing It Perfect—with no rents or breaks in its construction.

现在，圣光的学生必须要带着确信去工作，围绕着他们自己有意识地去创造这道电子环状带 —— 观想它呈现完美的状态 —— 在建造过程中，没有裂痕或漏洞。

Thus it will be possible to consciously reach within the Electronic Belt of the Godhead, and there receive Limitless Wisdom, Love, Light, and the Application of simple Laws by which all creative power is possible.

因此，可以有意识地到达造物主的电子环状带中，在那里接收到无限的智慧、爱、圣光，以及让所有创造力量成为可能的简单法则的应用。

While the student is admonished to look always, and never forget it, to his own God Self, which is the Creator of his individualization, yet never has there been a single attainment in which there has not been given the Assistance of those still in advance.

学生被告诫要始终去关注他自己的神之自我，并且要牢记这一点，他自己的神之自我是造物主的个体化表达，每一个小成就的取得都被给予了那些已经提前达成的存有的帮助。

There being but the One God, the One Presence, and His All-Powerful Activity, then the one more ad­vanced than the other is but more of the God Self in action. In this recognition you will understand why you can feel, “ ‘I AM’ here and ,I AM’ there,” for there is but the One God Self everywhere.

存在的只有合一的神，合一的临在，以及他全能的活动，一位存有比另一位存有更加进化，这只意味着那位存有更能表达出他行动中的神之自我。在这种认可中，你会理解为什么你能感觉到‘我是’在这里，‘我是’在那里，因为存在的只有无所不在的合一神之自我。

When the student can once understand that the Ascended Host of Masters are but the more advanced Consciousness of himself, then he will begin to feel the unquestionable possibilities within his grasp. Whether he speaks to the Godhead direct, to one of the Ascended Masters of Light, or to his own God Self, in reality it makes no difference, for all are One.

一旦学生可以理解，扬升上师们不过是他们自己更高等的意识时，他就会开始感受到在自己可以触碰的范围内的这种毋庸置疑的可能性。不论他是直接与造物主交谈，还是与光之扬升大师交谈，或者是与自己的神之自我交谈，实际上这都没有区别，因为所有一切都处于合一状态。

Until one does reach this state of Consciousness, it does make a difference, for the individual is almost certain to feel a division of the One Self, which is not possible to be made—except in the ignorance of the outer activity of the mind.

直至一个人到达这种意识状态之前，都会有影响，因为一个人肯定会感觉到这种合一自我的分裂 —— 在外在心智活动的无知中，这让分裂的确有可能发生。

When the student thinks of the outer expression, he should at all times be aware that it is but the outer activity of the One Intelligence, guarding himself at all times against trying to divide in his own con­sciousness this One Mighty God-Power centered in him.

当学生想到外在表达时，他应该一直这样的觉知：知道那是合一智能的外在活动，保持时刻的警醒，不要试图在自己的意识中分裂他自己内在的合一伟大神之力量。

Again I must remind you that this Limitless, Mighty Power of God cannot intrude Its Wondrous Powers into your outer use—except by your invitation. There is only one kind of invitation that can reach it and loose it, and that is your feeling of deep devotion and Love. When one has generated about himself this Electronic Belt or Ring, there is no power that can penetrate it except Divine Love. It is only your con­sciousness of Divine Love that can penetrate within this Great Inner Blazing Belt of the Godhead, through which the Godhead sends back to you Its Great Outpouring—mark you —through His Messengers, Transcendent Beings so far surpassing anything of your present conception that it is not possible in words to convey to you the Majesty of the Love, Wisdom and Power of these Great Ones.

再次，我必须提醒你，神的这种无限的伟大力量不能将其奇妙的力量侵入到你外在的使用中 —— 除非通过你的邀请。只有一种邀请可以到达它并让它释放，那就是你深深的奉献和爱之情感。当一个人围绕着自己创建了这条电子环状带时，除了神圣之爱以外，没有任何力量可以穿透它。只有你神圣之爱的意识可以穿越造物主的伟大内在闪耀的电子带，造物主通过它把自己伟大圣光的倾洒传回给你 —— 通过他的使者 —— 从而将你标记出来，这些使者是超然的存在，超越了你当前概念的所有认知，不可能用言语向你们传达这些伟大存有的爱、智慧和力量的威严。

At this point let Me again remind you that the student who will dare to do and be silent will find himself lifted into the Transcendent Radiance of this Inmost Sphere; then by experiencing and seeing will he comprehend this of which I have spoken. The soul who is strong enough to clothe itself in its Armor of Divine Love and go forward will find no obstruction; for there is naught between your present consciousness and this Mighty, Transcendent Inner Sphere to obstruct the approach of Divine Love.

当前，让我再次提醒你，那些勇于行动并保持沉默的人，会发现自己被提升到这最内在领域的超然光芒中；然后，通过亲身体验和看到，一个人就会理解我所说的这一点。足够强大的灵魂，身披神圣之爱盔甲，会勇往直前，不会遇到任何阻碍；因为在你当前的意识和这伟大超然内在的领域之间，没有任何障碍阻碍神圣之爱的到来。

When you have touched and seen within this Inner Circle, you will then understand how imperfect is the present expression of Divine Love. Once one becomes consciously aware of these Great Spheres to which he may reach, he will find himself fearlessly reaching deeper and deeper within the Radiance of this Mighty Intelligent Hub of the Universe—from which all worlds, all creation have proceeded.

当你在这个内在领域去触碰和观察时，你就会理解当前神圣之爱的表达是多么不完美。一旦一个人对这些他可能触碰到的伟大领域产生有意识的觉知，他就会发现自己无所畏惧地在宇宙的这个伟大宇宙智能中心探索得越来越深入 —— 所有的世界、所有的创造都是从这里开始的。

There are among you strong, dauntless, fearless souls who will understand this and be able to use it with great blessing to themselves and others. There are those who will understand and see that the “Presence” which beats each heart is God in Action; that the Activity sending the circulation through the body is God; that the Essence charging forward to vitalize the outer form is God in Action.

你们中有一些坚强勇敢、无所畏惧的灵魂，他们会理解这一点，并能够利用它为自己和他人带来巨大的祝福。有些人会理解并看到那位“临在”，那就是让每颗心脏跳动的运作中的神之临在，让外在形态充满生命力的精华就是运作中的神之临在。

Then, O Beloved Students, awake to this—now! Do you not see how great a mistake it is to sink under the ignorance of the outer self, feeling pain, distress, and disturbance, all created by the ignorance and activity of the outer self; when a few moments of earnest contemplation will cause one to realize that there can be but One Presence, One Intelligence, One Power acting in your mind and body, and that is God.

那么，亲爱的学生，觉醒到这一点 —— 就是现在！难道你没有看到，陷入外在自我的无知之中，感受痛苦、苦恼和不安，是多么巨大的错误吗？这一切都是由外在自我的无知和活动造成的；片刻的真诚沉思会让人意识到，只有一种临在、一种智慧、一种力量在你的心智和身体中发挥作用，那就是神。

You see how simple, yet powerful, is this Con­sciousness within you to loose the full recognition of the Great, Pure Activity of God into your mind and body; and to let its Wondrous, Transcendent Essence fill full to overflowing every cell.

你会发现，你内在的这种意识是多么简单却又强大，它可以让你对神的这种伟大纯粹活动的全然认知释放到你的心智和身体中，让这种美妙超然的精华充满并溢出每一个细胞。

It seems to Me, Beloved Students, that you cannot fail to grasp this simplicity of your True God Self act­ing in you. Ever turn to It, praising It, loving It, demanding and commanding It to surge forth into every cell of your body; into every demand of the outer activity, in the home, in your affairs, in business. When your desire is sent forth clothed in the God Presence, Power and Intelligence, it cannot fail. It must bring to you that which you desire. Desire is but a lesser activity of decreeing. Decreeing is and should be the recognition of the accomplished desire.

对我来说，亲爱的学生们，你不可能不领悟你真正的神之自我在你之中运作的这种简单性。永远都转向它、赞美它、爱它，并要求和命令它涌向你身体的每一个细胞，进入外在活动的每一个需求中，进入你的家中、事务中、商业活动中。当你的愿望披上神之临在、力量和智能时，它就不会失败，它一定会给你带来你想要的东西。意愿不过是喻令的一种较小活动。喻令是、而且应该成为对已经完成意愿的认可。

Beloved Students, do forever put away any fear of the use of this Great Power. You know without being told that if you misuse It, you will experience inharmony. If you use it constructively, it will bring such Blessings untold that you can but give praise and thanksgiving for the moment when you awakened to the fact that this Limitless Power is omnipresent— ever awaiting your conscious direction.

亲爱的学生们，请永远消除对使用这种伟大力量的恐惧感。即便没有人告诉你，你也会知道，如果你滥用它，你就会体验到不和谐。如果你建设性地使用它，它将带来难以言喻的祝福，当你意识到这种无限力量是无所不在之时 —— 永远等待着你有意识的引导，你只能给予赞美和感恩。

The individual who has said that you cannot add one cubit to your height by your thought has stifled the activity and progress of the individual, for thought and feeling are the Creative Power of God in Action.

那些说你无法通过思想让你的身高增加一肘距离的人，已经扼杀了这个人的活动和进步，因为思想和情感是运作中的神的创造性力量。

The uncontrolled, ungoverned use of thought and feeling has brought about all kinds of discord, sickness and distress. Few, however, believe this, and keep go­ing on and on continually creating by their ungoverned thought and desire, chaos in their worlds; when they could as easily as a breath face about, using their thought constructively with the motive power of Divine Love, and build for themselves a Perfect Paradise within the period of two years.

那些不受控制、不受约束地使用思想和情感，会带来各种的不和谐、疾病和痛苦。然而，很少有人相信这一点，他们继续通过他们不受控制的思想和欲望，不停地在他们的世界中制造混乱；而他们本可以轻松的转过身来，把他们的想法结合神圣之爱的动力，来创造性地进行运用，在两年的时间内为自己建造一个完美的天堂。

Even physical science has given proof that the body or outer form completely renews itself within a few months. Then you must see that with the conscious understanding and application of the True Laws of your Being, how easy it is to cause Perfection to manifest in your entire body, and every organ to leap

into its Perfect, normal activity. In a short time it would not be possible for inharmony to enter your thought or body.

甚至物理学也证明，身体、外在的形态可以在几个月之中完全地更新自己。然后你必须看到，通过对你存在的法则进行有意识地理解和应用，让完美显化在你整个身体中是多么容易，让每个器官都跳跃进入它完美自然的活动中。在很短的时间内，不和谐就无法进入你的思想或者身体当中。

O Children reaching to the Light! this great privilege is the Open Door of God before you, which none may shut but yourselves. None may obstruct or interfere with it but yourselves. Fearlessly use your God-given Dominion and Power and be free. You cannot attain and hold this Perfect Freedom except through consciously applied knowledge.

噢，向圣光的孩子们！这项伟大的特权是神在你们面前敞开的大门，除了你们自己之外，没有人可以关闭它。除了你们自己之外，没有人可以阻碍或者干扰它。无畏地去使用神赋予你的主宰权和力量，获得自由。除非有意识地去使用这些知识，否则你无法获得并保持这种完美的自由。

Now I shall give you a secret that if understood by the angry or discordant individual would tear him or her from that destructive activity—even from a purely selfish standpoint.

现在我要告诉你们一个秘密，若是愤怒或不和谐的人理解了这个奥秘，他或她就会摆脱那种破坏性的活动 —— 即便是从纯粹自私的角度来看待。

The angry, condemning person who sends out destructive thought, feeling, or speech to another who is poised in his own God power, receives back to himself the quality with which he charged this power; while the poised person receives the energy which serves him, and which he automatically requalifies by his own poise. Thus, the creator of discord, through anger and condemnation, is consciously destroying himself, his world of activity, and his affairs.

一个愤怒、处于谴责的人若是向另一位在自己的神之力量中泰然自若的人发出破坏性的想法、感觉或者言语，那么他自己就会收到他自己发出的这种力量的特性，而那一位泰然自若的人接收到的还是服务于他的能量，而且他会自发地赋予那些能量以泰然自若的特质。因此，不和谐的制造者，通过愤怒和谴责，正在有意识地摧毁他自己、他世界的活动和他的事务。

Here is a vital point students should understand. When one consciously reaches within the Inner Electronic Circle of God, he makes his outer expression and activity a channel for the ceaseless outpouring of the Pure Essence from the Godhead. This in itself,

even though he be entirely silent in the outer expression, is one of the greatest services to humanity—which but few not Ascended are aware of what it means to mankind.

这是学生应该理解的一个重点。当一个人有意识地进入内在的神的电子环状带时，他就会让他的外在表达和活动成为造物主的纯粹精华不断涌出的管道。即便他在外在表现上完全沉默，但这本身就是对人类最伟大的服务之一 —— 除了扬升存有之外，很少有人意识到这对人类来说意味着什么。

The one reaching within the Electronic Circle becomes a continual outpouring, and this very Radia­tion alone is a tremendous Blessing to all mankind. Thus, aeon after aeon, have there been those unselfish Messengers of God through whom was poured forth the Blessing of those not understanding the uplifting Presence of this surging energy. When there is one or more found who can be an outpouring for this great welled-up Presence, it is likened unto the first trickling of a leak in a dam.

到达电子圈内部的存有会持续地倾洒出这样的能量，这种照耀本身就是对全人类的巨大祝福。因此，世世代代以来，这种祝福通过那些无私的神之使者向外倾洒，照耀着那些不理解这种涌出能量的临在的人，给人带来提升。当有一个或者多个人可以成为这种伟大涌出临在能量倾洒的管道时，就会像大坝裂痕上漏出的第一道水流那样。

As the consciousness is held steady and firm, and as the rent in the dam increases, greater volume of water comes forth, for at last all obstruction is swept away, and the whole force back of it is poured forth into use. Unlike the water dammed up that rushes forward, dissipating itself because it is without direction, the God-Power thus loosed goes direct to the channel of consciousness most receptive, and there builds Itself up, awaiting the opportunity to rush forward more and more. Thus, the student of Light, aside from his activity in dispensing the Truth, becomes, as it were, an artesian well, from the depths of which flows this Mighty Essence of God.

当意识处于稳定和坚固的状态，随着大坝裂痕的增多，就会有更多的水涌出，最终，所有的拦截都会被冲走，这倾洒而出的所有能量都会投入到使用中。跟被拦截的向前冲的水不同，大坝自己就会溃散，因为它没有前进的方向，如此释放的神之力量可以直接进入最容易接收的意识通道中，并在那里建立起来，等待机会，越发地冲向前。因此，圣光的学生，除了传播真理的活动之外，他们可以成为一口自流井，从深处涌出神的伟大精华。

The students should at all times remember that no matter what their mistakes may have been, God never criticizes nor condemns them; but at every stumble which is made, in that sweet, loving Voice says: “Arise, My Child, and try again, and keep on trying, until at last you have attained the True Victory and Freedom of your God-given Dominion.

学生们应该记住，不论他们犯了什么错误，神从来不会批评或者谴责他们；学生们每一次跌掉时，会响起甜美又充满爱意的声音：“站起来，我的孩子，再尝试一次，继续努力下去，直至最终你获得了神赐予的真正胜利和自由。”

Always when one has been conscious of having made a mistake, his first act should be to call on the Law of Forgiveness, and demand wisdom and strength not to make the same mistake a second time.

当一个人意识到自己犯了错误的时候，他要做的第一件事情，就是使用宽恕法则，呼请智慧和力量帮助自己不要再犯第二次错误。

God, being all Love, must have Infinite Patience, and no matter how many mistakes one may have made, he can always once again, “Arise and go unto the Father.’’ Such is the Love and Freedom within which God’s children are privileged to act.

神之临在，散发出包容一切的爱，拥有着无尽的耐心。不论一个人犯下多少过错，他总是可以再次拥有机会“站起来，到父神那里”。这是神之儿女所拥有的在爱与智慧中行事的特权。

There is only one, mighty, invincible, evolving process, and that is through the power of consciously generating Divine Love. Love, being the Hub of all Life, the more we enter in and use It consciously, the more easily and quickly we release this Mighty Power of God, which is always standing as a dammed-up force, waiting to find an opening in our own con­sciousness by which It can project Itself.

只有一种伟大的、不可战胜的、不断成长的过程，那就是通过有意识地产生神圣之爱的力量。爱，作为所有生命的中心，我们越是有意识地进入和使用它，我们就会越容易和快速地释放出神的伟大力量，这种力量总是像一道被封锁着的大坝，等待着在我们自己的意识中找到一个开口，从而把自己投射进来。

For the first time in many centuries, the Searchlights, or Rays, from the Golden City over the Sahara Desert, are set into active operation over. America and the earth. There may be some in­dividuals who will see these Rays, not knowing what they are.

几个世纪以来，来自撒哈拉沙漠上空黄金之城的探照灯、圣光射线，首次开始活跃地在美国和全地球进行运作。有些人可能会看到那些光芒，但是并不知道它们到底是什么。

Mankind need no longer think that personalities can continue to generate their destructive forces and long survive. Those who can use this Knowledge of the Elec­tronic Circle should no longer be deprived of its benefits. Give it forth and the warning with it.

人类不能再继续认为，人格可以去继续产生那些破坏性力量同时还可以长久地存活下来。那些能够使用这个电子环状带中知识的人应该不应该再被敌视。去分享它，小心地使用它。

Use this Statement: ” ‘I AM’ the fulfilled activity and sustaining power of every constructive thing I desire. ” Use it as a general statement, for the sustain­ing power is in everything that there is. “ ‘I AM’ here and ‘I AM’ there” in whatever you want to accomplish is a splendid way to feel that you are using the One Activity, and you thus rise above the consciousness of separation.

使用这个陈述句：” ‘我是’我所渴望的每一个建设性活动的实现和维系的力量。”把这句话作为一种普遍存在的描述，因为这种维系的力量存在于一切事物中。‘我是’在这里，‘我是’在那里，在所有你想要完成的事务中，去感受你使用的是一种合一的力量，这很美妙，从而超越分离的意识状态。

BENEDICTION: O Mighty Ones of the Golden City, Glorified are we in Thy Wondrous Radiance. Privileged are we in the use of Thy Great Rays. Blessed are we in the conscious recognition of Thy Mighty Presence. Enfold us forever in Thy Transcendent Light.

祝福：噢，黄金之城的伟大的存有们，我们在你美妙的照耀中得到荣耀。我们有幸使用你那伟大的光芒。我们有意识地认识到你那伟大的临在，这是我们的福气。把我们永远笼罩在你那超然的圣光中。

SAINT GERMAIN

圣哲曼

INVOCATION: Thou Mighty Consuming Flame of God! We bow before Thy Mighty Majestic Power! We rejoice in Thy Directing Wisdom! We rejoice in Thy Presence in the heart of every one of God’s Messengers that go forth to direct His Service and Energy to the blessing of mankind. We give praise and thanks that Thy Presence has changed the tide of things, and that Thou art as always, the Mighty Governing Intelligence.

祈请词：神的伟大吞噬火焰！我们在你那伟大庄严的力量前鞠躬！我们为你那指导性的智慧欢欣鼓舞！存在于每一位神之使者心中的临在向前引导他的服务和能量，以造福人类，我们因此欢欣鼓舞！我们为你那临在给予赞美和感激，因为其改变了事物的潮流，而且你一如既往的，是那伟大的统治智能。

We give praise and thanks that Thy Consuming Fire and Thy Creative Activity dwelling in the heart of every one of us are ready to be loosed by the conscious desire into action. We give praise and thanks that Thou art the Consuming Presence everywhere; that ‘‘ ‘I AM’ there and ‘I AM’ here, and ‘I AM’ the Power that makes all things clear.”

我们赞美并感谢你那吞噬火焰和居住在我们每个人心中的创造性力量，它们随时准备好通过有意识的意愿付诸行动。我们赞美并感激你那无处不在的吞噬性临在，‘‘我是’在那里，‘我是’在这里，‘我是’让一切变得清晰的力量。”

“I AM” the Majestic Presence, “I AM” the Conquering Power, “I AM” Thy Mighty Energy, Thy Consuming Flame each hour.

“我是”雄伟的存在，“我是”征服的力量，“我是”你强大的能量，你每小时燃烧的吞噬火焰。

I bring Greetings to you all from the Heart of the Creative Fire.

我从创造火焰之心向大家致以问候。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

The Creative Fire that “I AM” is the Flame of God, His Master Presence, anchored in the heart of every one of God’s children. While in some It is but a spark, yet with the right touch, that spark can be fanned into a Creative Fire and Consuming Flame.

“我是”神之火焰、他主宰临在的创造之火，扎根于每一个神之子的心中。虽然在某些情况下，它仅仅是一个火花，但是只要火候得当，火花就可以煽着成为创造之火和吞噬的火焰。

This Mighty Presence, God, in Its myriad activities, is the Omnipresent Activity that all may use without limit if they only will dismiss from their recognition the outer appearance, which is but an appearance, and take their attention away from that which has bound them through endless years.

神的伟大临在，在其数不尽的活动中，是无所不在的，所有人都可以无限地去使用，只要他们不再去认同外在的表象，把他们的注意力从束缚了他们无尽岁月的事物上离开。

Today, the Scepter of Power and Authority stands in the atmosphere before the Single Eye of every advancing student. At first they may reach up mentally and take the Scepter of Authority, using It in this way, until before they are scarcely aware of it they will find It tangible and visible in their use at times.

今天，力量和权威的权杖矗立在每一位进化的学生的合一之言面前。最初，他们可能会在心智层面去靠近，拿走权威的权杖，并以这种方式使用它，直至在他们没有意识到这一点之前，他们有时会发现他们可以在有形和可见的领域去使用它了。

It is no idle promise that those seeking the Light may again receive this Dominion. When we go through a footpath in the forest, we know we may return the same way if we wish, but we must make the decision. So after hundreds of years of search in the outer for power and authority, we find that anything that seems to be so is but shifting sand, and tomorrow it may be gone.

那些寻求圣光的人会再次获得这种统领权，这并不是一句空话。当我们穿越森林中的一条小路时，我们知道如果我们愿意的话，我们可以原路返回，但是我们必须做出决定。因此，经过数百年对外在权力和权威的探索，我们发现那些表面上看似如此的东西不过是流沙，明天它就可能会消失不见。

By the rejoicing acceptance of your God Dominion, you may step firmly upon the sure foundation of the Rock of Truth, which is God, and from which no outer disturbance can ever shake you—once you know from actual experience.

通过欣喜地接受你的神之临在，你就可以稳固地站在真理磐石的坚实基础之上，那就是神，一旦你从实际体验中知晓这一点，任何外在的干扰都不能动摇你。

Students of Truth wonder why they cannot hold a firm anchor in their decision to hold fast to the God Presence, which is their Dominion. They do not analyze their outer expression to see what is lurking there to cause disturbance, question and doubt; but for those who will take the authority which is theirs and probe deep into their motives, it will be so easy to pluck out the tares from the Golden Grain and soon be free from the disturbance that causes them to doubt themselves and the very Presence of God which beats their hearts.

真理的学生想知道，为什么他们不能坚定自己的决定，牢牢地依附于神之临在，那才是他们的主宰所在。他们没有去分析自己的外在表达，去看到潜伏着什么会引起干扰、疑问和怀疑；但是对于那些愿意拿起他们的权威并深入探索自己动机的人来说，把稗子从黄金麦苗中拔除是很容易的，很快就能让他们摆脱他们自我怀疑的干扰，也不会怀疑让他们心脏跳动的神之临在。

When students will be honest enough with themselves and their God, the “I AM Presence,’’ to pluck out by the roots anything that is causing disturbance within them and be able to feel the Mighty Light and Radiance of the Great God Self, they will require little effort in loosing the “Great I AM Presence’’ in Love and Intelligence—which is an eversustaining Power in strength, assurance, or whatever they may need—in order to hold their feet firm upon the Rock of Truth, which is one of the Great Jewels in God’s Kingdom. Its Dazzling Radiance will enfold them upon the slightest invitation.

当学生们对自己和对他们的神之自我、“我是临在”足够真诚时，就可以从根本上拔除任何在他们内在导致干扰的东西，并可以感受到伟大神之自我的强大圣光和照耀，他们不需要付出什么努力，就可以在爱和智慧中释放“伟大的我是临在” —— 这是一种持久存在的确保性力量，或者说，为了让他们的脚坚定地站在真理的磐石上，会让他们获得他们可能需要的任何东西，真理磐石是神之国度的伟大宝石。只要稍有邀请，它耀眼的光芒就会把他们笼罩在其中。

O Students of today！Hold fast to this Mighty Presence which beats your hearts, whose Life flows through your veins, whose Energy flows through your mind! You have free will and can qualify and bless it to your Perfection or imperfection. Always remember that through your failure to turn to this Mighty Presence—by which you find you have created inharmony and disorden—you must give yourselves ample time to gain the full recognition of this Mighty Power and give It full activity in your Life.

学生们啊！牢牢地依附于这位大的临在，它让你的心脏跳动，它的生命流经你的血管，它的能量流过你的心智！你拥有自由意志，可以去限定这种能量，让它的祝福给你带来完美，或是不完美。永远记住，若是你未能把注意力放在这位伟大的临在上 —— 你就会发现你创造了不和谐和混乱 —— 你必须要给予自己充足的时间来获得对这伟大力量的全然认知，并让它在你的生命中充分发挥作用。

Do not become impatient because things do not work out as rapidly as you would like them to. They can only work according to the speed of your acceptance and the intensity of your feeling.

不要因为事情没有按照你想要它们进展的那么快速而不耐烦。它们只会根据你的接受速度和你情感的强度来运作。

The Mighty Energy that surges through your mind into your body is the Pure Electronic Energy of God, the “Mighty I AM Presence.” If your thought is joyously held upon your God Self as the Source of your Being and Life, that Pure Electronic Energy continues to act unabated, uncontaminated by human, discordant qualification; but knowingly or unknowingly, if you let your thought begin to gather from the discord by which it is so often surrounded, you change the color and quality of this Radiant Pure Energy.

通过你的心智涌入你身体的伟大能量是神、“伟大我是临在”的纯粹电子能量。如果你把思想愉悦地放在自己的神之自我上，把它作为你存在和生命的源泉，那么纯粹的电子能量就会继续有增无减地发挥作用，不受人类不和谐特质的污染；但有意无意地，若是你让自己的想法开始从它常常被包围的不和谐中聚集起来，那么你就会改变这种照耀着的纯粹能量的颜色和特质。

It must act, and you are the one who shall choose how it shall act to you. Don’t ever think you can get away from this simple fact. It is an Immutable Law of God, and no human being can ever change It. Students must understand and maintain this attitude if they wish to make steady progress.

它一定会行动，而你应该选择让它如何对你行动。不要认为你可以摆脱这个简单的事实。这是神的永恒法则，任何人都不能改变它。若是学生想要取得稳定的进步，就必须理解并保持这样的态度。

I tell you beloved students, you may rage and doubt and fear and rebel all you please at Self-correction; but it is the open door to your Mighty Illumination and Freedom from all limitation in the outer world of activity.

我来告诉你，亲爱的学生们，在自我纠正时你们或许会经历愤怒、怀疑、恐惧和反抗，但这是通往你自己的伟大开悟和摆脱外部世界所有活动限制的自由之门。

There are a great many students, when they come to a certain point of understanding—where all the results of their activity are revealed to them and they look upon the many mistakes that have been made which must be corrected—become despondent, critical, and condemnatory to themselves and God. This is a great mistake again. Everything that is revealed to them in which they find they have been making a mistake should make them rejoice exceedingly—that the things are revealed which need correcting. Knowing that God is the Power to think, then they know they have the Power to correct this and should joyfully set to work to do so.

有很多学生，当他们到达某种理解程度时 —— 他们活动的所有结果都会揭示给他们，他们会看到他们已经犯下许多必须纠正的错误 —— 变得沮丧、挑剔、对自己和对神进行谴责。这又是一个巨大的错误。凡是向他们揭示的、他们发现自己犯了错误的事情，都应该让他们非常高兴 —— 因为那些需要纠正的事情都被揭示了出来。知晓神是思考的力量，那么他们就知道自己有能力去纠正这个问题，而且应该开心的努力去这么做。

The Power of God’s Life which beats their hearts is absolute proof that they have the Intelligence and Power of God within them by which they may dissolve and consume all the mistakes and discordant creation they have consciously or unconsciously drawn about them. They may say to this undesirable creation: ” ‘I AM’ the Mighty Consuming Flame that now and forever consumes all past and present mistakes, their cause and effect, and all undesirable creation for which my outer is responsible. “

神的生命力量让每个人的心脏跳动，这是绝对的证明，证明人们在他们之中有着智能和力量，通过它们可以化解和消融所有他们或者有意识或者无意识地吸引到他们身边的所有错误和不和谐。他们可以对不受欢迎的创造这么说：“‘我是’伟大的吞噬火焰，从现在起直至永远，吞噬掉所有过去和现在的错误、它们的起因和后果，以及我外在负责创造的所有不受欢迎的事物。”

It seems so strange that students seem to have such difficulty in fixing the anchorage and recognition of the Limitless Power they are wielding when they say “I AM.” When the intellect, which is the outer activity, knows this, then the students should intensify it with all their power by the intense feeling of the Truth of this. Then they would find greatly added speed and Power in their active use. I tell you, Dear Students, you have come to a time when you can use this Power with great authority to free yourselves from the chains of limitation that have bound you so long.

奇怪的是，当学生们说“我是”时，他们似乎很难固定住自己的锚定点，也很难认识到他们所拥有的无限力量。当作为外在活动的智力知晓这一点时，学生们就应该通过对这一真理的强烈感受来尽其所能地强化这种认知。然后他们就会发现在他们积极使用的过程中速度和力量大大增加了。我来告诉你，亲爱的学生们，你们已经到了这样一个时期，你们可以以巨大的权威感来使用这种力量，把自己从长期捆绑你们的束缚中解脱出来。

Set about it with joyous determination to put your house in order. If you were going to have a distinguished guest, I doubt not that you would spend days working earnestly—cleaning, washing, polishing, and preparing for this guest. How much more important it is to prepare for this Great Prince of Love and Peace—the Prince of Consuming Fire that dwells within you and controls the element of fire.

就好像是你带着喜悦的决心开始要把房子整理好。若是你要接待一位尊贵的客人，我相信你会花几天时间认真工作 —— 清理、清晰、粉刷，为这位客人的到来做准备。为这位伟大的爱与和平的王子进行准备是多么重要 —— 他是居住在你之中，控制着火元素的吞噬火焰王子。

When one thinks of Oromasis, Prince of the Fiery Element, it is the Flame of Creative Fire within that is calling to Him for Assistance in the quickening of this Creative Power—and brings results unimaginable.

当一个人想到奥拉马西斯（Oromasis），也就是火元素王子时，内在的创造性火焰就会呼请他的帮助，来加速这种创造力量的表达 —— 带来难以置信的结果。

There has been no time in My Memory when there was so much natural assistance at hand for the student of Light for his use as there is at this time, and the students should take advantage of this with joyous intensity.

在我的记忆中，从来没有像现在这样，有如此多自然的帮助可供圣光学生使用，学生应该以欢乐的节奏来利用这一点。

When you speak in the Name, Power, and Authority of the “Mighty I AM,” you are releasing limitless energy to do your bidding to fulfill your desire. Why longer allow doubt and fear to beset you when “ ‘I AM’ the Open Door which no man can shut into the great Opulence of God—waiting, surging to press forward to heal, to bless, and to prosper you abundantly. “ Dare to be, to feel, to use this Mighty Authority—God in you!

当你以“伟大我是”的圣名、力量和权威来说话时，你就释放了无限的能量服从你的命令来实现你的心愿。当你知晓“‘我是’一扇无人可以关闭的敞开的大门，通往神的巨大丰裕时，为什么还要让怀疑和恐惧来困扰你？神的巨大富足在等待着、涌动着，向前推动来疗愈、祝福并让你丰盛繁荣。”敢于去成为、去感受、去使用这伟大的权威 —— 你内在的神！

Beloved Students, do you not realize that you can express Perfection by taking your determined stand with sufficient intensity that: “ ‘I AM’ the Mighty Electronic Energy flowing through, filling and renewing every cell of my mind and body—right now.’’ Do you not see, with sufficient intensity of this, in a few minutes or hours you could dispel any disturbing condition in the mind or body and allow that Mighty, Pure Energy to do its work, uncolored, unaffected by any discordant element in your own thought?

亲爱的学生们，难道你们没有意识到，你们可以通过以足够的强度来坚定立场，表达出完美：“‘我是’伟大的电子能量，流经、填满并更新我心智和身体的每个细胞 —— 就在此时此刻。”难道你没有看到，只要有足够的强度，在几分钟或几个小时内，你就可以驱散心智或身体中任何不安的状况，从而让伟大纯粹的能量来发挥作用，不受任何你自己想法中不和谐元素的影响和污染？

You can renew any nerve, any organ, and build any member of the body into its Perfection almost immediately. Oh why not feel this, apply It, and as you begin to experience the remarkable results, your confidence will leap into its Perfect Activity, and your mind will have all confidence in this Mighty Presence and Power and Its omnipresent limitless use.

你几乎可以即刻更新任何神经、器官，并让身体的各个部分变得完美。噢，为什么不去感受这一点，去使用它，当你开始体验到非凡的结果时，你的信心将跳跃进入其完美的活动中，你的心智会对这种伟大临在、它的力量还有它无所不在的无限用途充满信心。

When there is a seeming lack of energy, take your determined, joyous stand: ” ‘I AM’ the Mighty Presence of this Alert, Radiant Energy, surging through my mind and body, dismissing everything unlike Itself. I take my stand in this Alert, Radiant Energy and Joy for all time.” You can pass this Pure Energy through your mind and body as I would pass My Hand down before you.

当你感觉似乎缺乏能量时，采取你坚定又喜悦的立场：“‘我是’这警觉闪耀能量的伟大临在，它在我的心智和身体中涌动，清除一切不与它校准的。我永远站在这警觉、照耀的能量上，并处于喜悦之中。”你可以通过你的心智和身体来传递这种纯粹的能量，就像我把手放在你们面前一样。

At first, because you do not seem to feel any great magnetic electronic force pass over you, does not in any way indicate that you have not received this Mighty Energy which you have commanded with authority to flow through your mind and body.

最初，因为你似乎没有感觉到任何强大的磁场电子能量流经你，但是这并不意味着你没有接收到这股你用权威命令的、流经你心智和身体的伟大能量流。

One may say the same thing to his affairs that may not be according to his desire for Perfect Expression. The student can stand and call forth the Mighty Presence of the ”I AM”； send It forth into his business and world; command It to consume everything unlike Itself, and replace all with the Mighty Perfection of God—which “I AM”；command It to be Self sustained, and cause that Perfection to manifest his unceasing authority and power, and cleanse his world of every discordant thing, for ‘‘ ‘I AM’ the Supreme Authority, God in Action.”

一个人可以对那些没有符合自己心愿表达出完美的事物说同样的话，学生可以站起来，呼请“我是”伟大临在，把它发送到自己的事务和世界中，命令它消灭所有不与它校准的，用神之伟大的完美 —— 也就是“我是”来替代一切；命令它自我维系，并完美地表达出他持续不断的权威和力量，清除他世界中一切不和谐的事物，因为“‘我是’至高无上的权威，行动中的神。”

One does not need to do this with any tension, or to the extent that he creates tension in the action of the body, but he can rise in the Supremacy and Dignity of the Authority of God, and cleanse everything needing it. In doing this, one need not speak in a loud voice, but in a very low, masterful tone.

一个人不应该带着任何强迫感来做这些，或者是在身体活动中制造任何紧张感，但是他可以在神之权威的至高无上和威严中崛起，并净化所需净化的一切。这样做时，一个人不需要很大声，而是用一种低沉的、主宰的语调去说。

Stand in the room by yourself and declare: “ ‘I AM’ Master of my world. ‘I AM’ the Victorious, Intelligence governing it. I send forth into my world this Mighty, Radiant, Intelligent Energy of God. I command It to create all Perfection—to draw to me the Opulence of God made visible in my hands and use. ‘I AM’ no longer the Babe of Christ, but the Master Presence grown to Full Stature, and I speak and command with authority. ”

独自站在房间中宣告：“‘我是’我世界的主人，‘我是’战胜者，‘我是’统治着我世界的智能。我把神的这伟大、闪耀、智能的能量发送到我的世界。我命令它创造一切完美 —— 把神的富足吸引到我身边，让这富足在我的手中和使用中可见。‘我是’不再是基督的婴孩，而是长成的全然主宰临在，我带着权威来讲话和命令。”

Thus one may consume the mistakes and imperfection he may have created, and in the authority of the “I AM,” recreate—immediately—the Perfection he desires. Know that it is constantly Self-sustained, so long as you do not intrude upon it the discordant activity of your thought and feeling.

因此，一个人可以吞噬所有他创造的错误和不完美，处于“我是”权威之中，即刻重新创造他想要的完美。要知道，只要你思想和情感的不和谐活动不干扰它，它就会不断地自我维系。

I want so much to have you feel that you are the Only Authority in this world or any other, so far as your world is concerned. Do not ever fear that the perfecting of your world is going to disfigure anyone else’s world, so long as your intent is not to harm anyone. It does not matter what the world about you says, or how much they try to intrude upon you their doubts, fears and limitations. You are the Supreme Authority in your world, and all you have to do is to say, when you are beset by those conditions: “ ‘I AM’ the Mighty, Magic Circle of Protection about me that is Invincible and repels from me every discordant thought and element which seeks to find entrance or intrude itself. ‘I AM’ the Perfection of my world, and it is Self-sustained. ”

我非常想让你们感受到，就你的世界而言，你是这个世界或其他世界的唯一权威。只要你的意图不是去伤害他人，那么就不要担心你世界的完善会破坏其他人的世界。不论你周围的世界怎么去说，也不论他们如何把他们的怀疑、恐惧和限制强加给你，这些并不重要。你是自己世界的最高权威，当你受到这些状况的困扰时，你所要做的就是去说：“‘我是’围绕着我世界的完美，它是自我维系的。”

O Beloved Ones! It is no longer necessary to wonder, waver, and question: “ ‘I AM’ the Authority.’’ Go on—dare to be—and use this Authority of God which is expressing in the “I AM” of everything. Why not be fearless? You have been wanting the Presence of the Great Ascended Ones: “ ‘I AM’ the Visible Presence of those greatly beloved Ascended Masters whom I wish to have appear here to me, and whose Assistance I desire. ”

噢，亲爱的学生们！不再需要疑惑、动摇和质疑：“‘我是’权威。”继续这么做 —— 敢于这么做 —— 使用神的这种权威，通过万物的“我是”表达出来。为什么不能无所畏惧呢？你一直想要伟大扬升者的临在出现：“‘我是’那些深受爱戴的扬升大师的可见临在，我希望他们出现在我的面前，我也渴望他们的帮助。”

You have come to the point where you can dismiss all discord from your minds. Fill your minds with this Pure Electronic Essence, and no discord can enter so long as you keep it filled with this “Presence”. I tell you again, you are the Authority in your world, and if your thought is filled with this Essence, then no discord will touch it. We are going to take this Authority and use it, clear away all discord, and declare with no uncertainty: ” ‘I AM’ the Supremacy of man, everywhere I go! ‘I AM’ God in Action”.

你们已经到了可以消除你们心智中所有不和谐的境界。用这种纯粹的电子精华充满你们的心智，只要你让它充满这种“临在”，就不会有任何不和谐的感觉了。我再次告诉你们，你是你所在世界的权威，如果你的思想充满了这种精华，那么不和谐就无法触及它。我们要接受并使用这权威，清除所有的不和谐，并毫不犹豫地宣布：“‘我是’人类至高无上的存在，不论我走到哪里。‘我是’行动中的神。”

BENEDICTION: Mighty Creative Fire, we give praise and thanks for Thy Great Omnipresence today, to heal, to bless, and to prosper everywhere. Enter into the hearts of mankind with Thy Creative Presence and Genius, and let the Full Divine Justice of Thy Supremacy reign throughout the land in all official places. See that all authority is in the hands of Thy trained and trusted Messengers; that they may govern fully all governmental offices in America, and be ever divinely sustained; that America be healed, blessed, and forever prosper; that all sinister influence be consumed and forever repelled from within the borders of America.

祝福：伟大的创造之火，我们为你今天伟大的临在给予赞美和感谢，这创造之火带来无所不在的疗愈、祝福、和繁荣。让你那创造性的临在和天赋进入人类的内心，让你至高无上的全然正义统治这片土地上所有的官方场所。确保所有的权力都掌握在你那训练有素且值得信赖的使者手中；确保他们可以全面管理美国的所有政府只够，并永远得到神圣的加持；确保美国得到疗愈、祝福并永远繁荣；确保所有邪恶的影响都被消灭，并永远从美国境内驱逐。

NOTES

附注

The Host of Angels rejoice at the return of the wanderer who has come back home—who has sought authority so long in the outer, and found only husks. After his energy is wasted, he comes back home, and there is the Fountain to recharge, rebuild him against all the discrepancies called old age. Thus you can stand forth renewed again in the fullness of Youth and Power, for such is The Way of Life—God’s Life.

天使之主为流浪者的归来感到高兴 —— 他们已经在外在寻找权威那么久，最终找到的只是空壳。当他的能量被浪费掉后，他回到家中，在那里有喷泉可以让他回复，让他重建，从而对抗所有称之为老年的不协调。这样，你们就可以再次在全然的青春和力量之中站立起来，因为这就是生命之道 —— 神的生命。

It keeps the most marvelous vibratory action expressing for each one to speak gently. It is perfectly wonderful if you could see the Inner action of it.

它保留了最美妙的振动，来表达每个人轻柔的讲话。如果你能看到它的内在行动，那就太棒了。

Let each one enter into the Happiness and Love of Perfect Obedience, and liberate the Great Power of God. If one just lets go of the outer and enters into the Inner, every discord lets go at once.

让每个人进入完美服从的幸福和爱之中，释放出神的伟大力量。若是一个人简单地放下外在进入内在，那么所有的不和谐就会立刻离开。

ETHERIC CITIES: Over the principal deserts there are Etheric Cities. Over the Arizona desert is the Etheric City in America. There is one over the Sahara and one over the Gobi.

以太之城：在重要沙漠的上空有以太城市，亚利桑那州沙漠上空是位于美国的以太之城。还有一个在撒哈拉沙漠上空，一个在戈壁沙漠上空。

The one over Brazil is the Etheric City for South America. Humanity should know and be made to realize that again, again, and again, the inhabitants of cities pass out through so-called death and re-embody in that same place, because attachments have been formed that draw them back into the same environment again. The student who has to re-embody should take the command that: “The next time I will be born into a family of Great Light” .This would open the door to great speed in his progress.

巴西上空的是南美洲的以太之城。人类应该知道并且意识到，一次又一次地，城市中的居民经历所谓的死亡，然后又在同一个地方重新转世，因为形成了依恋，这些依恋把他们再次拉回到同一个环境中。重新转世到同一个地方的学生应该发出这样的命令：“下次转世时我将会出生在一个伟大圣光的家庭中。”这会为他的快速成长打开一扇大门。

INVOCATION: Thou Mighty Infinite Presence — Thou All-Pervading Healing Presence! Descend and do Thy Work. Thou Mighty Infinite Intelligence! Give forth Thy Confidence and Strength! Fill the mind and body of each one with Thy Radiant Presence! Fill every cell with Thy Radiant Presence! Prove Thy Presence in Thy Conquering Mastery and Power. Mighty Master Presence within each one—come forth! Erase this outer human self and hold Thy Dominion now and forever. There is but One Intelligence, Presence, Essence and Love, and this Thou art. Pour forth Thy Radiance through these outer cloaks of flesh and command Thy Perfection to thus be manifest and sustained.

祈请词：你那伟大无限的临在  —— 你那无所不在的疗愈性临在！沉降下来，做你的工作。你那无穷无尽的智能！倾洒你那信心和勇气！让你那闪耀的临在充满每个人的心智和身体！让你那闪耀的临在充满每个细胞！在征服性的主宰和力量中证明你的临在。每个人内在伟大的主宰临在 —— 显现出来！抹除这个外在的人类自我，从现在起直至永远，保持你的统治。只有一种智能、临在、精华和爱，那就是你。通过这些肉身的外衣，倾洒出你的光辉，并命令你那完美得以显化和维系。

I bring you Greetings from the Great Host, ever shedding their Radiance and Intelligence.

我带来伟大上主的问候，他们永远地散发着他们的光辉和智慧。

Take the Command: “ ‘I AM’ the Pure Electronic Essence that fills my mind and body, and I brook nothing eke.” God in you is Master of all conditions at all times. Say often: ” ‘I AM’ always the Victorious Presence of the Mighty ‘I AM.’ ”

接受这个命令：“‘我是’充满了我心智和身体的纯粹电子精华，除此之外我不接受任何其他。”你内在的神在任何时候都是一切状况的主宰。去经常这么说：“‘我永远都是’伟大‘我是’的胜利性临在。”

Feel the mighty current of Electronic Essence fill your mind and body, erasing instantly all inharmonious activity, and giving you the Consciousness of Mastery and Victory.

感受电子精华的强大能量流充满你的心智和身体，即刻消除所有不和谐的活动，并赋予你掌控和胜利的意识。

Command: “Divine Presence! Pour Thy Radiance through this mind and body, and see that Thy Wisdom directs always in every outer activity.”

命令：“神圣的临在！把你的光芒倾洒到这心智和身体中，并看到你的智慧始终引导着每一个外在活动。”

THE DISCOURSE

开示

Let us be conscious of the Healing Radiance filling this home. The great need today is the healing of the nations and of individuals. As the individual is given Assistance through the outpouring of the Electronic Energy through the mind and body and filling every cell, so in an expanded degree is the nation treated likewise. The nation is a great body of individuals and of Nature’s creations. We have the same power, being the individualized Presence of God. Then we know: ” I AM’ everywhere present, and when my consciousness takes on this expansion, I know Its energy leaps into action everywhere, in the cell of the body of the world as well as in the body of the individual.” We must come to know that the Active Presence of God, All-Powerful, is everywhere present： that there is not a single nook nor comer anywhere that the Active Presence of God is not; that this Active Presence seizes and binds all human creation and consumes instantly everything of an inharmonious and undesirable nature.

让我们意识到充满这个场域的疗愈之光。现在最需要的就是国家和个人的疗愈。通过电子能量倾洒进入心智和身体，并充满每一个细胞，个人得到了帮助；因此，在大的层面上，国家也会以同样的方法得到疗愈。国家是个体和自然创造的伟大集合体。我们，作为神的个体化临在，拥有着同样的力量。然后我们就会知道：“‘我是’无所不在，当我意识进行这种拓展时，我知道它的能量无所不在地发挥着作用，在世界的身体细胞中，也在个人的身体细胞中。”我们必须去认识到，神的全能活跃临在，是无处不在的：没有一个角落或隐蔽之处不存在神的活跃性临在；这种活跃的临在会抓住并束缚所有的人类创造，即刻吞噬所有一切有着不和谐和不受欢迎特质的事物。

With the use of the Electronic Belt surrounding the individual, he must understand that he can make this an absolutely Invincible Protection; through Its Protection, Divine Wisdom acts, repelling everything through our conscious action that shall not be taken into the system, and that this Omnipresent Wisdom and Intelligence is always prompting us to refuse acceptance of anything into the system, either through feeling, thought, or food that would in anywise disturb its harmonious activity.

使用环绕着个人的电子环状带时，这个人必须要明白，他可以让它成为绝对无敌的保护；通过它的保护，神圣智慧发挥作用，通过我们有意识的行动，排斥一切不应被纳入系统的事物，这种无所不在的智慧和智能，总是会促使我们拒绝接受任何扰乱其和谐活动的东西进入系统之中，不论是通过感觉、想法，还是食物。

The Natural Activity of the Currents of Life play everywhere like the play of a searchlight. The outer activity should at all times be an invitation to the receptivity of the Currents of Life, which are Pure Cosmic Energy and which are ever flowing through the atmosphere of the earth.

生命之流的自然活动无处不在，就像探照灯的作用那样。外在的活动应该总是去邀请对生命能量流的接受，生命能量流是纯粹的宇宙能量，永远环绕着地球大气层流动着。

It is true that where there are conditions too dense for It to penetrate, It goes over or under them, so to speak, and finds Its way onward just the same. Every individual, since the beginning of this year, should come to understand that he is walking and moving constantly within the reach of Mighty Healing Currents. Through the Power of Cyclopea, the Secret Love Star, and the Rays from the Golden City, currents of Healing Force of tremendous Power are consciously directed through the atmosphere of the earth. These, you will understand by their very nature, being the Energy of God in Action, are therefore Self-sustained.

的确，存在着一些状况，过于稠密而无法渗透。可以这么说，它会流经这些状况之上或者之下，以同样的方式找到自己前进的路。每一个个体，自从今年年初以来，都应该明白，他正在伟大疗愈能量流中持续地行走和前行。通过全视之眼、神秘的爱之星和来自黄金城光芒的力量，蕴含着巨大力量的疗愈能量流被有意识地引导穿越地球的大气层。你就会明白它们的本质，是行动中的神之能量，因此是自我维系的。

The consciousness in the individual of their presence will enable him to contact these Rays at any time.

个体对他们临在的意识，会让他在任何时候都可以连接到这些圣光。

Students who have a feeling of patriotism and who wish to help the nation should take the stand that these Healing Currents reach not only individuals, but carry into conditions, environment and official places like an Intelligent Flame, and are doing a work for the protection and uplift of the children of earth not heretofore set into such powerful action since the creation of this planet.

有着爱国情怀、并希望帮助国家的学生应该采取这样的立场：这些疗愈的能量流不仅仅到达个体，也会像智慧火焰那样，被带入到各种状况、环境和官方场合，为保护和提升国家而努力。自从这颗星球诞生以来，地球上孩子们的进步行动从未如此强而有力。

The more individuals become truly and sincerely conscious of this operation, the more can they become mighty Messengers of assistance in this most unusual Work.

个体越是可以更多地真正并真诚的意识到这项行动，他们就越能成为这项最非同寻常的工作中的强大援助使者。

Through the conscious manifestation of the mental forces back of the communists is the sinister influence with which We are dealing in the outer world’s activity. Those who wish to be true Messengers will meditate upon this idea until they have grasped the full import of it. They will use their conscious effort, knowing that these Currents of Consuming Electronic Energy consciously directed through the atmosphere of the earth cannot be interfered with： and that in every sincere, conscious effort of the individual—in his desire to give his assistance — there will flow a consciousness of this Energy that he has not hitherto possessed.

支撑着共产意识的是其背后心智力量有意识的显化，这是我们在外在世界活动中处理的邪恶影响。那些希望成为真正使者的人，要去沉思这一点，直至他们掌握了其全部重要性。他们会使用他们有意识的努力，知晓这些由意识引导的吞噬性电子能量流在穿越地球大气时不会受到干扰：在每个个体真诚、有意识的努力中 —— 在他提供帮助的意愿中 —— 流淌着他迄今为止从未拥有过的这种能量意识。

Sometimes there are individuals of such a nature, that while wonderfully kind and willing, the sudden consciousness that they need to let go of certain kinds of food or other activity is a sort of shock to them. I would say to these individuals that the Divine Intelligence within each one will cause them to naturally let go of the things not in accordance with this Great Presence at every step of the way when it is necessary. In order for an individual to consciously let go of a thing, he must have something that he feels is stronger to which he can anchor. As students become conscious of this, the confidence and strength will come to them to take the step.

有时，有些人有着这样的特质，尽管他们非常善良并愿意付出，当他们突然意识到他们需要放弃某种食物或者活动时，他们会产生震惊。我会对这些个体说，每个人内在的神圣智能都会在必要时，在前进的每一步中，让他们自然而然地放手那些不与这种伟大临在校准的事物。为了让一个人有意识地对某件事物放手，他必须有一些他感觉更强大的东西让他来锚定。当学生意识到这一点时，他们就会有信心和力量迈出这一步。

As I suggested once before, I would consciously, at least once or more a day, stand on the floor and charge the home with this Pure Electronic Energy—and keep it charged—so that God’s very Presence will keep out of the home, food, thought, any kind of presence, and everything that is not in accordance with the desires here.

正如我之前所建议的，我会有意识地，每天至少一次或多次，站在地板上，用这种纯粹的电子能量为家里充能 —— 保持能量充满的状态 —— 这样神之临在就会把任何不与其意愿校准的食物、想法、其他存有等等一切隔绝在房屋之外。

I would suggest that whenever you find someone is coming you take the consciousness: ” ‘I AM’ the Pure Radiance of Divine Love enfolding these individuals, and this Garment enfolds them when they come and when they leave.” When you are conscious of this, you clothe them and they will wear this Garment into the home and out of it; and for them it will be a sustaining power.

我会建议，每当你看到有人来了，带着这种意识：“‘我是’包围着这些个体的神圣之爱的纯粹光芒，当他们到来和离开时，这件外衣都包裹着他们。”当你意识到这一点时，你就会给他们穿上神圣的外衣，他们会穿着这件衣服进入家中、离开家中；对他们来说，这会是一种持续存在的力量。

Those who come into your home are deserving of assistance, and this will enable them to receive the full assistance they desire and you will love to give.

那些来到你家中的人应该得到帮助，这会让他们获得他们想要的、你也乐意给予的全面帮助。

No matter how great the knowledge attained, we at no time ever have the right to force either the knowledge or the discipline upon anyone. Only as students apply what they hear and receive can they ever know the Reality.

不论获得了多么伟大的知识，我们在任何时候都没有权利把知识或纪律强加给任何人。只有当学生去应用他们听到或接收到的东西时，他们才能去知晓实相。

When you say “I AM,” you acknowledge the Power that breaks down all barriers and conditions of opposition. This human self is just like a starving lion in the jungle. It will tear anything to get what it wants to eat. In this state, the human consciousness will tear its best friend to pieces to get its own way.

当你说“我是”，你就认可了打破所有障碍和对立状况的力量。这个人类自我就像是丛林中饥饿的狮子。它会撕裂一切，只为得到它想要吃的。在这种状态下，人类意识会把它最好的朋友撕成碎片，以达到自己的目的。

In any astral element there is that human desire element through which, unless one shuts his mind entirely to the astral world, will constantly find himself interrupted in a good decision—because he has left that door open to a force far more subtle than is ever found in the outer world. Many think there are good forces in the astral world. I tell you, no good force ever comes from the astral world. Any good force that seems to come from there must come through it; but it makes its own Tunnel of Light through which it comes.

在所有的星光元素中，都存在着人类的欲望元素，除非一个人把自己的心智完全隔离在星光世界之外，否则他会发现自己在做正确的决定时总是被打断 —— 因为他让那扇门对外部世界中一种更精细的能量敞开着。很多人认为星光界存在着良善的能量。我来告诉你，星光界从来没有良善的能量。那些看起来来自那里的良善能量都必须穿越星光界；但是是它创造了自己的光之隧道，并从中穿越。

In the first place, what makes the astral world? There is only one place where the undesirable creation can find a home, and that is the next step to the human activity, which is the astral realm. This realm of astral activity has within it all undesirable creation accumulated through the centuries. Therefore, it is easy to see at once that no good comes from any contact with the astral realm. IT HAS NOTHING IN IT WHATSOEVER OF THE CHRIST.

首先，什么构成了星光界？只有一个地方可以让不良的创造找到栖息之所，那就是人类活动的周围，星光界。星光活动的领域有着许多世纪以来积累的所有不受欢迎的创造。因此，很容易立刻看出，与星光界的任何接触都不会带来任何好处。在其中毫无基督意识的成分。

There is as wide a difference between the astral realm of activity and what some call the Star Astral as there is between Light and darkness. However, the so-called Star Astral is again misunderstood. It is really called “Star Astrea/’ It is really an Activity, not a realm, and it is from the fourth sphere. The “Star Astrea” is a Cosmic Being whose Work it is to consume all possible within the astral realm, and to reach individuals whose attention seems to be drawn there. This Great Being will sooner or later clear the understanding of such individuals and consume their desire for any contact with that unhappy realm. No little children remain in the astral realm. The home of children who leave the earth is in the etheric realm. People who are in the body are in the same sphere when they sleep as the disembodied. There is a Sustaining Consciousness of the “I AM Presence” which, if one goes forth with It on going to sleep, through that sustaining Power one can reach unbelievable Heights. If you have the Consciousness through the outer expression of this “I AM Presence” and you take this Consciousness with you as you go into the other realms, It is a Sustaining Presence that is unbelievable.

星光活动领域和一些人所谓的星体领域之间，存在着巨大的差异，就像光明与黑暗之间的差异那样。然而，所谓的星体领域再次又被误解了。它实际上是一种活动，而非一个领域，它来自第四域。“星体领域”是一位宇宙存有，他的工作是吞噬星光界的所有可能性，并连接到那些注意力被吸引到那里的个体。这位伟大的存有或早或玩都会清理掉这些个人的理解，并消除那些人与这个不快乐领域连接的欲望。不会让小孩子停留在星光界。离开地球的孩子们的家在以太领域。存在于肉身中的人与在睡觉时离开肉身中的人处于同一领域。这是“我是临在”的维持性意识，如果一个人在入睡时带着这种意识，那么通过这种维系的力量，他就可以到达难以置信的高度。如果你通过这种“我是临在”的外在表达拥有这种意识，而且你在进入其他领域时也带着这种意识，那么它成为一种难以置信的持续维系的临在。

There is an activity in the experience Life that demands the conscious recognition and use of the “I AM Presence” of God in Action. When you take that Consciousness with you through the veil of sleep, the soul is able to function out of the body with almost limitless Power.

生命体验中有一项活动，需要有意识地认识并使用行动中的神，“我是临在”。当你带着这种意识穿越沉睡的面纱时，灵魂就能够以几乎无限的力量在身体之外发挥作用。

Suppose there is a seeming need in the physical activity. Before going to sleep we can say this: “Through the Mighty Power and Intelligence which ‘I AM,’ I go forth while my body sleeps, make conscious contact with, and abundantly fulfill this requirement, no matter what it is.”

假设物质层面的活动有这样的需求。在睡觉之前，我们可以这么说：“通过‘我是’的伟大力量和智能，在我的肉身沉睡时，我继续前行，有意识地接触并充分满足这个需求，不论它是什么。”

Knowing that this activity is Self-sustained, it cannot fail in any way. It is a mighty way of setting into motion the “I AM Presence”. Whatever the “I AM” commands while the body sleeps must be obeyed.

知道这种活动是自我维系的，它怎样都不会失败。这是让“我是临在”进入行动的强大方式。在身体睡着时，不论“我是”发出什么命令，它都必须遵循。

I knew of one instance of this kind when there was need of protection. The one using it had a certain consciousness of this Presence. The individual was falling over a cliff, and this “I AM Presence” instantly built up a form, caught the individual, and took him back to safety.

我知晓这样一个例子，有一个人需要保护。那个人对这种临在有一定的意识。那个人从悬崖坠落，而这个“我是临在”即刻形成某种形态，把他抓住，带回到了安全地带。

When one enters the conscious path and goes into any environment where there might be danger, one should always do some quick, definite work on his protection; for until one raises the body, he is always functioning more or less where he is contacting the outer thought of humanity. If the student be climbing the mountains, he must do conscious protective work. He must do the protective work, and do it consciously.

当一个人进入意识之路时，当他进入可能有危险的环境时，这个人总是应该做一些快速明确的保护性工作；因为在一个人完全提升了自己的身体之前，他总是会或多或少地到接触人类外在思想发挥作用的地方。如果学生去登山，他一定要有意识地做好保护性工作。他一定要做保护性的工作，而且要有意识地这么做。

If the student will always keep up his conscious protection, he will be able to avoid the destruction of other individuals.

如果学生总是有意识地处于保护状态，他会避免其他个体的毁灭。

Steamship Protection: “God is the Almighty Power protecting and directing this steamship; therefore, it moves in a zone of absolute safety” On the conscious path, you must be up and in action all the time. There are some who might think this is a suggestion of fear, but it is not. It is a recognition of the Omnipresent Protective Power.

在轮船上的保护：“神是保护和引导这艘轮船的伟大力量；因此，它在绝对安全的区域内航行。”在这条意识之路上，你必须始终保持警觉并处于行动之中。有一些人认为这可能是对恐惧的暗示。但事实并非如此。这是对无所不在的保护性力量的认可。

Autos: “God is All-seeing and All-knowing, sees ahead, and will naturally avoid undesirable contact.” When you say: “God is driving this car, ” the Vision of God goes ahead, sees blocks and miles ahead, and the prompting will come to go to the street which is clear. ”Because God is driving this car, our path is unobstructed in every way.”

在汽车上的保护：“神是全视、全知的，能预见未来，会自然而然地避免不受欢迎的接触。”当你说：“神在驾驶着这辆车，”神之视野向前推进，看到前面几个街区和几英里，走在畅通无阻的道路上，而且会收到提示。“因为是神在驾驶着这辆车，所以我们前进的道路在各个方面都畅通无阻。”

There are two reasons why students have accidents. First, because they have become angry and opened the door. Second, because the student has lain down on the job.

学生遭遇事故的原因有两个。首先，因为他们变得气愤，从而敞开大门。第二，因为学生把这项工作放置一边。

Whenever we do a thing with a positive, dynamic attitude, it gives confidence to the outer, and it cannot fail.

当我们以积极、充满活力的态度去做一件事情时，就会给外在以信心，就不会失败。

To project an Electronic Belt around another, say: “ ‘I AM’ the Protective Electronic Belt around …” When you say, “’I AM’ the Protective Ring or Belt,” it means that the Electronic Belt is instantly formed— invincible. Realize that when you say “I AM”, whatever is commanded is All-Powerfully, instantly done. You cannot use the “I AM Presence” without having instantaneous Activity.

要把电子环状带投射到另一个人身上，就说：“‘我是’环绕着…的保护性电子环状带。”当你说，“‘我是’保护性的电子环状带”时，它意味着即可形成电子环状带 —— 无敌的状态。要意识到，当你说“我是”时，不论命令是什么，都是全能的话语，即刻完成。使用“我是临在”，都会产生即刻的活动。

Often say: ” ‘I AM’ the Omnipresent, All-Powerful, Protecting Intelligence governing this mind and body”. It is instantly omnipresent there in action when you say “I AM.” The ‘I AM’ which is everywhere present is at that point doing the work that moment. This is the way you set into action by the most direct means the All-Powerful Action of the “I AM” which is All in All.

要常说：“‘我是’无所不在的、全能的保护性智能，管理着这个心智和身体。”当你说出“我是”

时，它就会立刻无所不在地去发挥作用。无所不在的“我是”在此时此刻发挥着作用。这是你可以使用的最直接的方式让它去发挥作用，“我是”全能的行动，是一切中的一切。

Constantly remind the outer consciousness that when you say “I AM,” you have set into action all the attributes of the Godhead.

要持续地提醒外在的意识，当你说“我是”时，你就是把神的所有属性付诸到行动中。

You are now at a point when you should have instantaneous activity. When you say, “I AM” in any condition, it means that instant action is taking place there by the Greatest Power in the Universe. The moment you become conscious that “I AM” is the Full Activity of God—containing all the attributes of the Godhead—you do that moment have the full use of this Mighty Power.

当前，你正处于一个状态中，此时你应该有着即刻的活动。在任何情况下，当你说出“我是”时，这意味着宇宙中最伟大的力量正在采取即刻的行动。当你意识到“我是”神的全然活动 —— 涵盖了神的所有属性 —— 那一刻你就可以充分利用这种伟大的力量。

Use often: ” ‘I AM’ the Presence producing this Master Home.” Get the consciousness of the Mighty Presence you are calling forth when you are using the “I AM.” I have always loved to specify what I wanted to do. If I want health in my body I say: “ ‘I AM’ the Presence charging this body with Pure, Electronic Energy.

经常使用：“‘我是’造就这上师之家的临在”。当你使用“我是”时，意识到你正在呼请你伟大临在的意识。我一直都喜欢明确我想做的事情。如果我想要我的身体健康，我会说：“‘我是’赋予这具身体以纯粹电子能量的临在。”

When you say: “‘I AM’ the Ascension of this physical body right now,” then you have accepted and entered into that action right now. When you are striving for the Light in unlimited action, you are striving for the Greatest Thing in the world. Fill your world with the Presence which “I AM,” and when you do this, feel you are doing it consciously.

当你说：“‘我是’这具肉身现在的扬升，”那么你现在就接受并进入了那个行动中。当你以不受限的行动为圣光而奋斗时，你就是在为世界上最伟大的事情进行着努力。让你的世界充满“我是”的临在，当你这么做的时候，去感觉你在有意识地这么做。

If one will take the consciousness: ” ‘I AM’ the Perfect Activity of every organ and cell of my body” then it must manifest. You have but to be conscious of this, and it must be.

如果一个人接受这样的意识：“‘我是’我身体中每个器官和细胞完美的活动。”那么它一定会显化出来。你必须意识到这一点，而且它一定会如此。

Use often: ” ‘I AM’ Perfect Health now manifest in every organ of my body. ” Put your confidence in your “I AM” instead of some thing. Suppose you want great intelligent activity, say: ” ‘I AM’ the Perfect Intelligent Activity in this body.” You cannot do this looking to something outside.

经常去用：“‘我是’完美的健康，显化在每一个身体器官中。”把你的信心放在你的“我是”上，而不是外在的某个东西上。假如你想要伟大的智能活动，去说：“‘我是’这具身体中完美智能的活动。”你不能通过外在找寻的东西来做到这一点。

To clear the mind, eyes, and ears:

用于清理心智、眼睛和耳朵：

“‘I AM’ the Perfect Intelligence active in this brain. “

“‘I AM’ the Perfect Sight looking through these eyes. “

“‘I AM’ the Perfect Hearing through these ears. “

“‘我是’这个大脑中活跃的完美智能。”

“‘我是’通过双眼去看的完美视力。”

“‘我是’通过双耳去倾听的完美听力。”

Go at these treatments with determination and they cannot fail. You have the reins, now use them! Avoid all use of words that seem to be a reminder of limited conditions.

去坚定地使用这些治疗方法，它们不会失败的。缰绳握在你手中，去使用它们！避免使用所有看似在提醒你存在限制的词语。

When you are conscious of the “I AM,” you don’t care what anyone in this world does. You must not be concerned about anything but your world. For squaring the circle, use the “I AM” Activity. Pay no attention to what anyone says. Just say specifically what you want to produce.

当你意识到“我是”时，你就不会在乎这个世界上其他人所做的事情。除了你的世界，你不应该去关心任何事情。化方为圆，请使用“我是”的活动。不要在意其他人说的什么。只需要明确地说出你想要创造什么。

Say again and again: ” ‘I AM’ the only Presence acting in this.”

一遍又一遍地去说：“‘我是’在此发挥作用的唯一临在。”

Say: “ ‘I AM’ the only Presence acting in my world”.

去说：“‘我是’在我世界中发挥作用的唯一临在。”

For finding things: ” ‘I AM’ the Intelligence and All-Seeing Eye which finds this.”

对于寻找事物：“‘我是’发现这个的智慧和全视之眼。”

You will be amazed at the feeling that grows within when you do not have to look to anything but the “I AM.”

当除了“我是”之外，你不需要去寻找任何东西时，你会惊讶于内心滋长的感觉。

Wipe out of your mind everything but the conscious operation of the “I AM,” for It is the most Potent Power possible.

除了“我是”有意识的运作之外，抹除你心智中的一切，因为它是最强大的力量。

Get the sense of ease about producing these seeming miracles.

去感受创造这些看似奇迹的轻松感。

Suppose you want to illumine a room. Say: “ ‘I AM’ the illumination of this room.”

假设你想要照亮一个房间。说：“‘我是’这个房间的光照。”

Then you act upon the electrons in the room. The illumining of the atmosphere of a room is as easy as raising your hand. Your ability to illumine a room is just as easy as physically illumining it through the electric lamp. You can just as easily plug into the Universal current of electricity as through the wires.

然后你就对这个房间的电子施加了作用。照亮一个房间就像举手那么简单。照亮房间就像用电灯在物质层面照亮房间一样。你可以像电线一样，轻松地导入宇宙电子能量流。

To make visible the illumination within your own body say: “ ‘I AM’ the visible illumination through this body now.” Right within yourself is a focal point.

让这种光照在你自己的身体中可见，去说：“‘我是’穿越这具身体的可见光照。”你自己的内在就成了一个聚焦点。

The “I AM” in you created everything in the Universe.

你内在的“我是”创造了宇宙的一切。

When you enter into the Confidence of the “I AM,” It will soon do away with all obstruction. Use often: “ ‘I AM‘ the Consuming Power and Presence of every bit of fear, doubt, and questioning in my outer activity concerning this Invincible Activity of the ”I AM”. Keep this up, and you will always know instantly what to do. You can take this and use it, and thus remove every obstruction to the “I AM” Activity. When you operate consciously, you know positively it is done.

当你进入对“我是”的信心中之后，它很快就会消除所有的障碍。经常去说：“我是”外在活动中涉及到这种“我是”无敌活动的吞噬力量和临在，吞噬所有的恐惧、怀疑和质疑。坚持下去，你就总会知道即刻要怎么做。你可以接受并使用它，从而消除“我是”活动的所有障碍。当你有意识地这么去做时，你就确切地知道它已经完成了。

The consciousness of an individual clothes the form with that individual’s own concepts of it. When these are drawn about an individual who has generated a certain energy, they impose upon him nothing but the things in his own world.

个人意识会把这个人自己的概念附着到形态上。当把这些施加在产生某种特定能量的个体身上时，除了这个人自己世界中的事物，没有什么可以施加给他。

Whenever you feel a sudden joy impulse, grasp it, use it, and decree.

当你突然感觉到喜悦的脉动时，去抓住它，使用它，并做出喻令。

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty, Infinite Intelligence! We give praise and thanks for Thy Mighty Comprehension and Mighty Manifestation in the consciousness of those present. We give praise and thanks that “I AM” the Perfect Understanding in operation, and that “I AM” everywhere present, performing all required to be done. “I AM” the Illumination of everyone who looks to me. “I AM” the Radiant Intelligent Activity in the minds of all mankind. “I AM” the Master acting in the brain of everyone of humanity, causing Divine Love, Justice, Peace, Harmony and Perfection to manifest to our Beloved America.

祝福：你那伟大无限的智能！我们对在场所有人意识中你那伟大的理解和表达给予赞美和感激。我们赞美并感激“我是”运作中完美的理解，“我是”无所不在，执行着所有需要完成的事情。“我是”所有看向我的人的光明。“我是”全人类心智中光芒四射的职能活动。“我是”人类每个个体中的主宰运作，让神圣之爱、正义、和平、和谐和完美，在我们所爱的美国表达出来。

圣哲曼

INVOCATION: Thou Mighty, Infinite Presence! Creator of all that is, always majestic in Thy Conquering Presence, we give Power only to Thee. We forever withdraw all power we have ever given to outer things and stand serene in Thy Majestic Presence, Love, Wisdom and Power. Knowing that, “ ‘I AM’ here and ‘I AM’ there and ‘I AM’ everywhere, then ‘I AM’ serene in Thy Majestic Presence, manifesting Thy Love, Wisdom, Power and Judgment—that I have Thy foresight and see far beyond human possibilities.” I give praise and thanks that I, now and forever, acknowledge and accept only Thy Mighty, Victorious Presence in all things, in my Life, my world, my mind, and my body.

祈请：你那伟大、无限的临在！所有一切的创造者，你那雄伟的征服临在，我们只把力量赋予你。我们将永远撤回我们赋予外在事物的力量，并在你威严的临在、爱、智慧和力量中保持冷静。知道“‘我是’在这里，‘我是’在那里，‘我是’无所不在，那么在你庄严的临在中，“我是”沉着冷静，彰显着你的爱、智慧、力量和判断力 —— 我拥有你的远见，看到远远超越人类的可能性。”

I give praise that I have placed about each form Thy Magic Circle, Invincible, Impenetrable to anything unlike Thee. I stand guard over my Life, body, mind, world and affairs, that nothing manifest unlike Thee. We thank Thee.

我对你放置在每一种形态上的魔法圈给予赞美，那是无敌的，任何跟你不同的事物都无法穿透你。我守护着我的生命、身体、心智、世界和事物，显化出的一切都跟你校准着。我们感谢你。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

Keep reminding the outer activity, the outer consciousness, that when I say “I” “I AM” using the Infinite God-Power. When I say “I AM,” I have set this Power into motion to successfully accomplish whatever the idea is which has been held in consciousness, or whatever idea the attention has been held upon. Sincere students should not forget this for a single hour, until the Truth becomes so fixed in the outer activity that it automatically acts.

不断地提醒外在的活动，外在意识，当你在说“我”、“我是”时，使用的是无限的神之力量。当我说“我是”，我就已经启动了这种力量来成功地完成意识当中任何想要做的事情。真诚的学生应该时时刻刻都记住这一点，直至这一真理在外在活动中变得非常牢固，从而让它自发地行动起来。

Therefore, you will see how perfectly ridiculous it is to say: ” ‘I AM’ sick, ‘I AM’ financially embarrassed’’ or that there seems to be a lack of anything. I tell you that you cannot possibly be affected if you will hold fast to this idea, then use it.

因此，你会发现，那些说“我生病了”，“我在经济上陷入困境”的人，这样表达是多么地荒谬。我来告诉你，若是你坚持上面的真理，使用它，你就不会受到这些影响。

When you seem to have a cold, you do not need to be told to use a handkerchief. Then why do you need to be reminded that the outer activity has but One Power by which to move itself about, and that is the ‘I AM Presence’, God in you? The unfortunate thing about sincere students is that they will not meditate often enough upon this Truth for its marvelous Presence to come into activity.

当你看起来要感冒时，你不需要被告知要用手帕。为什么你需要被提醒：只有一种力量可以让外在活动运作起来，那就是“我是临在”，你内在的神。真诚学生的不幸之处在于，他们不会对这一真理进行深入的思考，神奇的临在就不能得以发挥作用。

Know that: ‘‘ ‘I AM’ the Majestic, Victorious Presence, filling all official places,” and know it with certainty in your minds. If any of the students will sincerely take hold and use this, such an one will be blest for so doing.

要知道：“‘我是’庄严、神圣的临在，遍布所有的官方场合。”要在心智中明确知晓这一点。哪位学生真诚地掌握这一点，哪位学生就会为这样做受到祝福。

Guard yourself in the outer contact constantly, that you do not unknowingly accept the appearance of things or the fear of so-called financiers. God governs your world, your home, your business, and that is all with which you are concerned. Do not ever fear that you are running amuck with your imagination when you sense and feel the nearness of the full manifestation of the Mighty, Individualized Presence. Rejoice! Believe in the Mighty Presence that holds in Its embrace everything in this world that you can desire or use. You are not dependent on the outer things. With the joyous entering into this Mighty Power and Presence which contains all, do you not see how you would be provided for, if everything were cut loose?

在与外界的接触中不断保护自己，让自己不会在不知不觉中接受事物的表象，也不要接受来自所谓的金融家的恐惧。神掌管着你的世界、你的家、你的生意，这就是你所关心的一切。当你感受并感觉到伟大个体化临在全然显化的接近时，永远不要担心你的想象力会失控。去欢呼！相信伟大的临在拥抱着这个世界上所有你渴望或想要使用的一切。你不会依赖于外在的事物。当你快乐地进入这个包含一切的伟大力量和临在之中时，你难道没有看到，若是所有一切都摆脱掉束缚，你会如何得到供应吗？

I want you to feel, joyously accept, and with all your Being know that the Power of precipitation is no myth. It is real. Those who enter into this feeling deep enough will have the precipitation of anything they want.

我希望你们去感受，去欣喜地接受，用你全部的存在去知晓，沉降的力量不是神话。这是真实的。那些进入这种感觉中足够深沉的人，就会显化出他们想要的任何东西。

Children have been chastised for seeing Angelic Beings and for manifesting an Inner Perception. It is the parent of that child who should be chastised, and well at that, for daring to interfere with the God-given Freedom of that child. If grown-ups would live more in the conscious imaging and acceptance of these Mighty and Great Presences (of whose very existence most of humanity doubts), they would feel Their Presence and uplifting sustaining Intelligence.

孩子们会因为看到天使存有并表达出内在的感知而受到惩罚。是孩子的父母应该受到惩罚，因为他们胆敢干涉神赋予孩子的自由。如果成年人更多地生活在对这些伟大临在的有意识的想象和接受之中（大多数人怀疑他们的存在是否真实），他们就会感受到他们的临在，以及提升性的可持续智能。

My Beloved Ones! If suddenly we find ourselves needing courage or strength: ” ‘I AM’ there surging forth, supplying this instantly.’’ If I need harmony in my mind or body, then: ‘‘ ‘I AM there, supplying it instantly, and I do not need to wait.’’

我亲爱的学生们！若是突然间我们发现自己需要勇气或力量，就说：“‘我是’在这里涌动，即刻提供这种力量。”若是一个人需要心智或身体的和谐，就说：“‘我是’在这里进行即刻的供应，我不需要等待。”

Do not give a thought to the world or individuals who do not understand these things. Go right on rejoicing in the visible, active Presence, precipitated into your Life and use, of whatever you wish.

不要去想那些不理解这些事情的环境或个人。继续为那可见的、活跃性临在欢呼，让它沉降在你的生命中供你使用，不论你的心愿是什么。

Our outer common sense, so-called, must tell us that unless we expect, accept, and rejoice in the Presence of the thing we want, how in the name of God can we expect to have it? The poor, insignificant outer self struts itself about saying, ” ‘I AM’ too important to give attention to these childlike fairy stories. ” Well, let me say to you that one day the individuals who say this will be only too glad to listen to those fairy stories and fill their minds with those ideas—that they may come forth.

我们所谓的外在常识会告诉我们，除非我们期望、接受并因我们想要东西的临在而感到高兴，否则我们怎么能期待以神的名义拥有它？可怜的、微不足道的外在自我趾高气扬地说：“‘我’太重要了，无法去关注这些孩子气的童话故事。”好吧，我来对你说，有一天，说出这句话的人会非常地庆幸，他们去倾听了哪些童话故事，并用那些想法充满他的心智 —— 从而把它们带出来。

In every instance in the outer contact of the world of business, whenever there is a negative condition that seems to touch your world in any way, instantly take your firm stand: ” ‘I AM’ the precipitation and Visible Presence of whatever I desire, and no man can interfere with it.’’

在与商业世界外部接触的每一个案例中，每当有一种负面状况看上去要以某种方式触碰到你的世界时，马上采取你坚定的立场：“‘我是’我渴望一切的沉降和可见临在，没有人可以干扰它。”

This is a Mighty Truth. When I speak of precipitation in this manner, I do not only mean through the invisible, but through any channel, for all is a precipitation; it is only a little difference in activity.

这是一个伟大的真理。我在这种情况下所说的沉降，并不是指通过无形领域而来，而是可以通过任何渠道，因为所有一切都是沉降而来，这仅仅是在活动表达上有一点差异。

When I recognize who “I AM’’ then I have entered into the “Great Silence’’ wherein is God’s Greatest Activity. This recognition should bring great revelations to the individual, if he holds to it with joyous acceptance.

当我意识到“我是”是谁时，我就进入了“伟大的寂静”之中，在那里有着神最伟大的活动。若是一个人以喜悦的态度去接受，那么这种认知就会给这个人带来伟大的揭示。

In your outer experience, the use of any activity develops your strength to greater and greater efficiency, does it not? If one can apply this in the outer activity, do you not see how much more important it is to the Inner Activity? The more you put it into use, the greater the power you put into it. Know you can do it with the Inner Spiritual things far greater and quicker than in the outer things, for with Spirit, the Power acts instantly. There is no waiting when the “I AM” acts.

在你外在的经验中，任何活动的运用都会让你的力量变得越来越高效，不是吗？如果一个人可以把内在活动去应用到外在活动中，你难道看不出这有多重要吗？你越是使用它，你投入的力量也就越大。要知道，你用内在灵性的事物来做一件事情时，要比用外在事物的运作更伟大、更快。因为有了圣灵，能量是即刻发挥作用的。当“我是”行动时，无需等待。

The fact that you give credence to development of the muscular system by use should make you realize that the same effort given to the exercise and recognition of the Inner Power would naturally produce far greater results. For instance, man is supposed to perform certain physical exercises in order to develop his muscles. I have, in my students, many, many times, enabled them to produce powerful muscles in a symmetrical, beautiful body without having taken a single exercise to do it. It is the same with the exercise of your Inner Faculties in bringing forth the Inner Power.

你通过对肌肉系统的使用，从而让肌肉得到发展这一事实，应该让你意识到，若是对内在力量的锻炼和认知付出同样的努力，就会自然而然地产生深远的结果。比如，一个人应该进行某些体育锻炼来增强肌肉。我曾很多次让我的学生，在不进行任何锻炼的情况下，就可以让对称美丽的身体锻炼出强大的肌肉。通过锻炼内在能力带来内在的力量也是如此。

In all development, either of the Inner or the outer, the first part of the exercise is mental. Here we must know that there is only one Power and Energy to use, and that is from the “I AM God Presence” in you. Therefore, the exercise of your Inner Faculties is necessarily mental —called mental—but I say to you, it is God in action, because you cannot form a thought without the Intelligence and Energy of God to do it. Therefore, your mental activity is the Energy of God in action. Now you see how easy and possible it is to make a strong physical body without lifting your hand in physical exercise to do it.

在所有的发展中，不论是内在还是外在的，发展的第一部分就是心智层面。在这里我们必须知道，只有一种力量和能量可以使用，那就是来自你内在的“我是神之临在”。因此，你内在能力的锻炼必然是心智上的 —— 它叫做心智 —— 但是我对你们说，它是行动中的神，因为若是没有神的智能和力量，你就无法形成一个想法。因此，你心智的活动是行动中的神之能量。现在你就明白了，在不需要亲自去进行身体锻炼的情况下，拥有一个健壮的肉身是一件容易和可能的事情。

Most scientific, medical, and men of physical culture will deny this, but I assure you it is only because they have not become aware of, or thought deeply upon the energy or power that is acting; because no kind of activity can take place except by the use of this Inner energy and power.

大多数科学界、医学界和体育界的人士都会否认这一点，但我向你保证，这只是因为他们还没有意识到，或者还没有去深入思考在发挥作用的能量或力量；因为除非使用这种内在的能量和力量，否则任何活动都无法发生。

Individuals allow the impingement of doubts and fears to rush in and overwhelm them when it comes to the recognition of these Great Faculties, which are free for their use at any time. You see, they are but submerged as it were, by the outer, like a cork that has been pushed beneath the water, which when released by a little effort, pops up to the surface into use.

当人们意识到这些随时可以免费使用的伟大能力时，就会让怀疑和恐惧的冲击进来压垮他们。你看，他们仅仅是被淹没，就像软木塞被推到水下一样，当施加在它上面的力量稍微释放一下，软木塞就会弹出水面继续发挥效用。

I must say it is positively pitiful when earnest students spend so many years straining at intervals to gain the use of these faculties, and then because they do not operate immediately, relapse into a state of inactivity until something spurs them on, and then relapse again. Persistent, determined recognition of this “I AM Presence’’ will take you through anything to absolute certain accomplishment—unless you lie down on the job.

我必须说，认真的学生花费了这么多年的时间，时断时续地努力使用这些能力，就因为它们没有马上发挥出作用，学生就陷入无所作为的状态，直至有什么东西刺激到他们让他们继续，然后再次陷入不作为的状态，这是非常可怜的。持续并坚定地意识到“我是临在”，这会带你超越所有的事情，取得绝对确定的成就 —— 除非你躺平。

I see, and especially at this time, a goodly number of individuals who, with a little encouragement and description of the simple use of these faculties, will quickly leap into their freedom —and especially those who have this verbal instruction and the Radiation that goes with it.

我看到，尤其在这时，有很多人，只需要一点点的鼓励还有这些能力简单使用的描述，就会快速地跳入到他们的自由之中 —— 尤其是那些接受过这种口头教导的人，这种圣光的辐射会伴随着自由。

Is it not appalling that Sons and Daughters of God will submit to the binding claims of limitation when, with persistent effort and determination, they would open the door and step through into this great Inner Chamber, filled with such Dazzling Light, jewels, gold, and substance from which every kind of food in the Universe can be precipitated? Then with this Truth plainly before them, these individuals still hesitate, through unbelief, to step through, take this scepter and be free.

当神之儿女屈服于具有约束力的限制性要求，而不是以坚持不懈的努力和决心，打开大门，走入这个伟大内在的房间，里面充满了耀眼的圣光、珠宝、黄金，以及宇宙中可以沉降出所有一切食物的材质，这难道不令人震惊吗？然后，当这个真理清楚地摆在他们面前时，这些个体仍然因不信任而犹豫不决，不确定是否要迈出这一步，拿起这根权杖获得自由。

Beloved Ones! Again I say to you: Sing the Great Melody of the ‘I AM’ Conquering Presence. Sing It in your hearts continuously. Feel It with all your ability; be determined to use It. Hold fast to that determination, and the knowledge and the way will steadily open to give you that Mastery which is your Eternal Freedom. Just keep joyously knowing that you are through the veil now.

亲爱的人们！我再次对你们说：唱响‘我是’征服性临在的伟大旋律。在心中不断地歌唱它。用你所有的能力去感知它；下定决心去使用它。牢牢地坚定这个决心，知识和通道就会在你面前稳定地打开，给予你主宰，那就是你永恒的自由。只要保持喜悦的知晓，知道现在你已经越过帷幕了。

Whatever Mastery the individual has gained over himself, his affairs or his world, is always, and should be, a Sacred Chamber—an Inner Sanctuary upon which no other inquiring individual may intrude. No one may attain Mastery through the desire of the outer to find the Mastery within another.

不论个体对自己、自己的事务和他所在的世界取得了怎样的主宰，这总是、而且应该是一个神圣的房间 —— 一个内在的庇护所，任何其他好奇的个体都无法入侵的地方。没有人可以通过外在的欲望去通过找到别人的主宰而获得自己真正的主宰。

To seek, find, and apply the Law of one’s own Being is the student’s sure road to Mastery, and only when the individual has attained it himself may he really understand what True Mastery is. There is only one Mastery to be sought, and that is over one’s own outer self.

去寻找、发现和应用一个人自身存在的法则，是学生通往主宰的必经之路，只有当一个人自己达成了这一点，他才会真正理解，什么是真正的主宰。只应该去寻求一种主宰，那就是超越自己的外在自我。

One might walk beside a Master for years and not discover it until his own Inner Faculties revealed the fact. One might live in the same house with a Master for years and not know it until some crisis arose to be handled, and thus the Real Power be revealed.

一个人可能会在一位上师身边行走多年，直至他自己内在能力揭示出这一点时，他才会真正发现它。一个人可能与一位上师住在同一所屋子中很多年，直至出现一些需要处理的危机时，真正的力量才得以显露出来，然后他才知晓这一点。

For a Master to discuss or disclose his own attainment of Mastery would be to dissipate his own forces and may not be done at any time.

对一位上师来说，去谈论或者透露自己的通达成就，就是在消耗自己的力量，任何时候都不应该这么做。

If a student be fortunate enough to have a beautiful experience and then discuss it with others, there is usually so much doubt poured at him that he soon begins to doubt himself. It is really funny how convincing someone else’s argument can be. If a student will listen to the argument of someone else, why not be at least as fair to his own God Self and listen to Its Power and Good as expressed through the Inner Experience?

如果一个学生有幸获得一次美好的体验，然后与其他人去讨论它，通常会有很多怀疑涌向他，很快他就会开始怀疑自己。别人的议论竟然如此有说服力，这真的很有趣。如果一个学生愿意倾听别人的议论，那么为什么不去对自己的神之自我公平一些，通过内在体验的表达，来倾听它的力量和良善呢？

The moment doubt begins to enter, more doubt rushes in. The same with the “I AM.” If you put your attention upon It, It rushes forth more and more. Where the conscious attention is fixed, there the energy pours. Dear Ones, do you not see, when you want something revealed, or to be inspired in some way, do you not see, “I AM that. ” The moment you say “I AM, ” you set in motion this Power that has inherent within It all these faculties. It has all substance, and must take on whatsoever form the attention of the mind is fixed upon.

一旦怀疑开始进入，更多的怀疑就会涌入。“我是”也是如此。若是你把更多的注意力放在临在上，它就会越来越多地涌出。有意识的注意力集中在哪里，能量就会倾注在那里。亲爱的们，难道你们没有看到，当你们想要一些东西揭示出来，或者想要以某种方式得到启发，你们难道看不到“我是”就是那般。当你启动了这种内在固有的所有能力，你就把这种力量带入到行动中。它拥有着所有的材质，而且会呈现出你心智注意力所在的所有形态。

The “I AM” is the Fathomless Mind of God. In reaching for understanding, the average student is but contacting the recurring memory of that which has been, instead of going into the Heart of God and bringing forth that which never has been.

“我是”神的深不可测的心智。在寻求理解的过程中，普通的学生只是接触到了过去发生事情的记忆重现，而不是进入神之心，把从未出现过的带出来。

Individuals and students many times do not and will not realize that there have been many civilizations of vast attainments which are entirely unknown to the outer world today. Atlantis and Lemuria, or the Land of Mu, as credited by a few today, are but fragments of the great civilizations that have been.

很多时候，个人和学生没有、也不会意识到，曾经有过很多取得巨大成就的文明，这些文明完全不被今天外部世界所知晓。亚特兰蒂斯和列穆尼亚，也就是当今少数人所认为的Mu大陆，仅仅是曾经伟大文明的一些碎片。

To do unusual things: The students who wish to do this, take the determined stand: “ I AM’ the Heart of God, and I now bring forth Ideas and accomplishments which have never been brought forth before.”

要做不同寻常的事情：对于那些想要这么做的学生，采取坚定的立场：“我是”神之心，我现在带出之前从未提出过的想法和成就。

Consider only: “ ‘I AM’ that which I wish to bring forth. ” The ‘I AM Presence’ is the Heart of God. You are immediately in the “Great Silence’’ the moment you say “I AM.” If you recognize that you are the “I AM,” then whatever you declare is manifest that moment.

只去思考：“‘我是’我希望带来的。”‘我是临在’是神之心。当你说出“我是”时，你即刻就进入了“伟大的寂静”之中。如果你认识到你就是“我是”，那么不论你去宣告什么，那一刻都会表达出来。

To believe is to have faith a thing is true. There is an interlocking of belief and faith. In the beginning a thing is belief, and if held to, it becomes faith. If you do not believe a thing is true, you cannot bring it into manifestation. If you do not believe, “ ‘I AM’ a thing,” how can it act for you?

相信，就是确信某件事情是真的。信念和相信之间是互相关联的。在最初，某件事情是一种信念，若是坚持下去，它就会变成了相信。若是你不相信某件事情是真实的，那你就无法把它带入到外在表达出来。若是你不相信“‘我是’是真实不虚的存在，”它又如何对你发挥作用呢？

The old saying: “There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so,” is an Absolute Truth.

When you know that God’s Energy comes forth into the individual absolutely Pure and Perfect, then you must realize that it is the individual who requalifies that energy and imposes his own impure quality upon it. This Pure God Energy is projected forth by the conscious effort of the individual, and he must impose some kind of a quality upon it, for that is his privilege as a Creator.

古语云：“事物没有好坏，是思想使然。”这是绝对的真理。当你知道神的能量以绝对纯粹和完美的状态来到个人之中时，你一定会意识到，是这个人重新赋予该能量以特质，并把自己不纯粹的特性施加给它。这种纯粹的神之能量是经由个人有意识的努力带出来的，他一定会在其之上施加某种特质，因为这是他作为创造者的特权。

Everyone is constantly qualifying this energy, which is pouring forth continually. Each one is continually pouring his color into it, through his own consciousness.

每个人都在不断地去限定这种持续涌出的能量。每个人都通过自己的意识不断地把自己的色彩注入其中。

Every activity of the outer that qualifies carries with it the inherent faculty of sound and color. No activity of any kind can take place which has not sound and color inherent within it. God’s Perfection naturally has no discoloration within it. Within the outer facility which gives quality to a thing is where the discoloration takes place. Every student must take the responsibility of his own activity in qualifying the energy he sends forth.

外在每一种限定性的活动都具有携带声音和色彩的内在能力。在发生的活动中没有一种不带有内在的声音和颜色。神之圆满是自然而然的，是不会改变其内在的色彩的。在赋予事物特质的外在活动中，也正是色彩改变发生的地方。每一个学生都必须对他发出能量进行限定的这种行为负起责任。

The mind cannot act upon anything that has not Intelligence inherent within it. Do not allow yourself in the human sense to consider the element of time in anything you do, but enter into a thing joyously, and stick to it until it does manifest.

心智无法对任何不具有内在智能的事物发挥作用。不要允许自己以人类感官去考虑你所做任何事情的时间因素，仅仅是去快乐地这么做，坚持下去，直至它显化出来。

Be like a blow torch. If you will hold steady on the Mighty God Presence as the Actor doing the thing, you will enter into the fullness and Perfection of everything, ready for your use now. All permanent accomplishment must be by the Self-conscious effort of the individual.

要像喷射灯一样。若是你可以像执行者做事情那样，稳定地保持住伟大的神之临在，你就会进入万物的全然和完美之中，所有一切都供你使用。所有永久性的成就都必须靠个人有意识的努力。

Q. What is sympathy?

问：什么是同情心？

A. It is but agreement with imperfection. Whatever you do, be adamant before human sympathy. Watch that you do not allow yourself to be dragged down into quicksand when you can use wings to lift yourself above its destruction. Judge not, but keep joyously entering into the “I AM Presence’’ and all things will manifest perfectly.

答：就是同意不完美的存在。不论你做什么，在人类的同情心面前，都要保持坚定。要小心，当你可以使用自己的双翼提升自己超越毁灭时，就不要让自己被卷入流沙之中。不要去评判，而是要快乐地进入“我是临在”中，一切都会完美地显化出来。

For any imperfect condition, especially old age, use:

对于任何不完美的状况，尤其是年长者，使用这句肯定句：

“‘I AM’ the Perfection of that individual.”

“‘我是’那个人的完美。”

No matter what is said in the outer world, you must be unaffected by it, for you are coming to this Perfection, and you must bring it about consciously.

不论外部的世界说什么，你必须不受其影响，因为你正在走向这种完美，你必须有意识地把它带出来。

If you do not watch, you can let in an expression in a moment that can follow you for years if you do not erase it. When you are consciously using the Great Law, know that the active Power of God’s Thought knows its direction, goes and performs perfectly. Consciously charge the “I AM Intelligence” to use whatever is necessary. Say: ” ‘I AM Intelligence’ qualify this with whatever is required.”

若是你不小心，你可能会在某一时刻让一种表达进入，若是你不抹除这种印记，它可能会伴随着你多年。当你有意识地使用伟大的法则时，知道神之思想的主动力量知道自己的方向，而且会完美地运作和发挥作用。有意识地让“我是智能”来使用一切必要之物。去说：“‘我是智能’会赋予这件事以所有所需。”

For Healing: I had one student who so qualified the Electronic Circle about him with the Power of healing that he was called the “Healing Shadow.” Of course it was not the shadow that healed, but the moment people contacted his Electronic Circle, they were healed instantly.

用于疗愈：我有一位学生，他可以使用电子圈来发挥出疗愈的力量，人们称之为“疗愈阴影”。当然不是阴影得到疗愈，而是当人们接触到他散发出的电子环状带时，瞬间就被治愈了。

Q. Understanding God as Love, why did God individualize Himself?

A. In order to have something to love.

问：把神理解为爱，为何神要把自己个体化？

答：为了可以有些东西去爱。

Q. Why were the Rays divided?

问：为什么圣光被分成几道光？

A. In order to express Love.

答：为了表达爱

Love is the “Active Principle of God.” When you are loving, you are enfolding what you are loving in that “Robe of God’’ that Radiant Presence and Activity.

爱是“神的运作法则”。当你在爱的时候，你就把你爱的一切包裹上一层“神之长袍”，散发出闪耀的临在和活动。

Never condemn. Try always to understand whenever there seems to be a wrong sex activity, and lift the consciousness of the individual by focusing the attention upon a high ideal of some kind in order to control the thought, so the sex activity can come under conscious control of the individual through the use of his own will.

永远不要去谴责。每当出现看似错误的性行为时，要试着去理解，并通过把注意力集中在某种更崇高的理想上来提升个人意识，这样性行为就可以通过个人运用自己的意志来得到有意识地控制。

The proper, clean use of the sex is for the expansion and expression of Love in the procreation of a form, that the incoming soul may have an harmonious and loving disposition and temperament. The thought and feeling of the parents are the influencing, molding activity. The nature of the Life Principle of the individual is to love.

正确、干净地使用性，把它作为形态繁衍的爱之拓展和表达，这样即将到来的灵魂就会拥有和谐、充满爱的性情和气质。父母的思想和情感是一种有影响的塑造活动。一个人生命法则的本质就是爱。

BENEDICTION: Infinite God of Love! We give thanks for Thy Gracious Outpouring today, for Thy Mighty Radiance filling all things everywhere. We give praise and thanks that we have entered into Thy World where everything is so fair, where Thy Radiance, creative with every thought, brings into Perfection all things held within our thought.

祝福：无限的神之爱！我们感谢你今天恩典的倾洒。你那伟大的光芒充满了所有的地方。我们感谢并赞美我们进入了你的世界，在那里，一切都是如此公正平等，在那里，你的光芒，每一个思想都充满创造力，让我们思想中的一切变得完美。

NOTES

附注

Raising the body: Nada raised her body 2,700 years ago. In the case of three raising the body at one time, they might Ascend at the same moment, or within a few weeks or months.

提升身体：娜达在2700年前就提升了她的身体。若是三人同时提升身体，他们或许会在同一时刻扬升，或者是前后相差几周、几个月。

Controlling an animal: Use: “ ‘I AM’ here and ‘I AM’ there, and I command silence there.” Also, look the animal in the eye and know that the Love of God controls it.

控制动物：使用肯定句：“‘我是’在这里，‘我是’在那里，我命令那里保持安静。”此外，看着动物的双眼，知道神之爱控制着它。

The difference between Divine Compassion and human sympathy is as great as that between Light and darkness. Divine compassion holds the student’s attention anchored to the “Mighty I AM Presence’’ calling It forth to produce Perfection. Human sympathy is a rushing forth of energy qualified by a feeling of imperfection, and but intensifies the imperfection already manifesting.

神圣慈悲和人类同情心之间的差异，就像圣光和黑暗之间的差距一样。神圣慈悲把学生的注意力锚定在“伟大我是临在”上，呼请它的到来，产生完美。人类的同情心则是一种涌出的、被赋予了不完美感特质的能量，而且会强化已经显化的不完美。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

I bring you Greetings from the Great Host of Light who watch attentively the Outpouring of Divine Radiance, whose Great Love, Peace and Light always enfold you, as Messengers of the Light, giving always strict obedience to the Great Light.

我给你们带来伟大光之主的问候，他们密切地关注着神圣光芒的倾洒，他们伟大的爱、和平和圣光总是包围着你，作为圣光的使者，永远严格服从伟大的圣光。

Obedience of all manifestation is the first demand of the Great Host. When the Command went forth: “Let there be Light!” obedience was the first activity, consequently Limitless Light was at hand. It is so with all outer activity of the One Active Principle, God. The first activity of the outer should be to give Perfect Obedience to that Inner Presence. Thus is it enabled to receive harmoniously the unadulterated Pure Essence; and so it should be with friends, with relatives, with associates, and with all outer contact of individuals.

在所有显化中，服从是伟大上主的首要要求。当发出命令：“要有光！”服从是最初的活动，因此出现了无限的光供使用。神之合一活跃法则的所有外在活动也是如此。外在的第一个活动应该是完全服从内在的临在。如此，才能和谐地接收不受扭曲的纯粹精华；与朋友、亲人、同事、以及所有个体的外在接触都是如此。

There should always be this wondrous grace of Love, Light and obedience. It matters not the age of the individual. Still the outer expression often, for its need is obedience to the Great Inner Light. 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. “

这种爱、光和服从的神奇恩典应该一直存在。个人的年龄并不重要，因为这通常来说仍然是外在的表达，而它需要服从伟大的内在圣光。当出现争论、评判或者感受到阻力的冲动涌出时，这就是信号，表明外在正在进行入侵，想要获得你的注意力。然后是时候，通过你自由意志的力量，去命令外界安静下来，服从“我是临在”。

It is useless to argue any point. Silence the outer, and then in loving obedience, give the Instruction. In this way It can come forth unobstructed.

对任何观点的争论都没有用。让外在安静下来，然后，在爱的服从之中，给出指示。这样，它就可以畅通无阻地出现。

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.”

当学生进入了这条意识之路时，出现任何最轻微的干扰或是抵抗，都应该马上让外在活动安静下来，去宣告：“‘我是’这个心智和身体的服从性智能活动；‘我是’管理的力量，并且会进行和谐地管理。”

It matters not upon what plane or in what sphere of activity the Son of God—that is, the Son or Daughter of God—acts, obedience to Its Laws, or the Divine Laws of the sphere in which he is acting, is always imperative to his steady, onward progress.

神之子在哪个层面或者哪个活动领域进行活动并不重要，重要的是，神之子女在行动时，要服从他活动的领域的法则、神圣律法，这对他稳步地前进是至关重要的。

Someday, I hope in the near future, We shall take up for consideration the elements of outer activity which are most disturbing, and the effect of their activity upon the body. I do not wish to do this however, until the students are strong enough to hear the Truth of this activity without a single twinge of resistance or self-condemnation — because to start an activity within the individual of either condition would be a mistake upon My part.

我希望在将来不久的一天，我们会考虑最令人不安的外部活动因素，以及它们对身体的影响。然而，在学生们足够强大到可以倾听这个活动的真相，同时没有一丝一毫的抵抗或自我谴责的苦恼之前，我不希望这样做 —— 因为不论在个人内部触发了哪一种状况，对我来说都是一种错误。

I spoke some time ago about the student keeping on guard to watch that in an unguarded moment he did not find himself unknowingly entertaining some feeling of resistance, criticism, or some activity which he later discovered had been acting.

我不久前谈过，学生要一直保持警惕，要警觉：在不警惕的时刻，他不会发现自己在不知不觉地沾染上了某种抵抗、评判的感觉和类似的活动，这些要到后来他才会发现有这些能量在运作。

Every student should constantly use, many times a day, for it only requires a minute, and silently declare: “ ‘I AM’ the Invincible Guard, established, sustained and maintained over my mind, my body, my home, my world and my affairs. ”Keep conscious that this Guard, being the “I AM Presence”, naturally has Infinite Intelligence. This will establish an Intelligent Guard and activity about you that does not have to be constantly repeated.

每一位学生都应该在一天当中持续地多次使用下面的肯定句，因为它只需要一分钟，在安静中宣告：“‘我是’无敌的守卫，建立、维系并保持在我的心智、我的身体、我的家和我的事务之上。”保持着这样的意识：这个守卫，也就是‘我是临在’，自然地具有无限智慧。这会建立一个守护着你的智能守卫和活动，而且不需要不断重复建立。

Again we come to the point where every time we use the expression ‘I’ or ‘I AM’, we know that It is the full Power of Love, Wisdom and Intelligence acting. Use frequently: “‘I AM’ the full Liberation of Divine Love acting.”

再次，我们来到这一点，每次当我们使用“我”或者“我是”的表达时，我们都知道这是爱、智慧和智能运作的全部力量。经常去使用：“‘我是’神圣之爱运作的全然表达。”

Now as a preparatory activity for the day, I would suggest that the students, with great joy and firmness, after having refreshed themselves in the morning, would silently declare—knowing that the Power of the declaration is Self-sustained: ” ‘I AM’ the governing Love, Wisdom and Power with its attendant Intelligent Activity which is acting today in every single thing that I think or do. I command this Infinite Activity to take place every moment and be the sustaining Guard about me, that I move, speak and act only in Divine Order. ” Then during the day, whenever you think of it, take the firm consciousness: ” ‘I AM’ the commanding, governing Presence, moving everywhere before me during the day—commanding Perfect Peace and Harmony in all activity. “

作为一天之中活动的准备，我建议学生们，在早上精神抖擞之后，带着巨大的喜悦和坚定，去默默地宣告 —— 知晓这种宣告的力量是自我维系的：“‘我是’主宰的爱、智慧和力量，伴随着其智能活动，在我今天所想所做的每一件事情中发挥着作用。我命令这种无限的活动每时每刻都在进行，并成为持续守护我的力量，我只在神圣秩序中运动、说话和行动。”然后在一天之中，每当你想到它时，就坚定地意识到：“‘我是’命令性的主宰临在，一天之中随着我到处运作 —— 在所有的活动中要求完美的平和与和谐。”

In this manner you will lock the door open for the continuous Outpouring of this Inner Intelligent Presence, which will transform your world and keep you from contacting inharmony of any kind, enabling you to have that steady flow of Inner Peace and Harmony in all outer contact. 通过这种方式，你就会让大门敞开，让这种内在智能的临在持续倾洒，这将转变你的世界，保护你不接触任何不和谐的活动，让你能够在外在接触中拥有稳定的内在平静与和谐。

It matters not what the manifestation may be within the body or without, the student must take his firm stand that his body is the “Temple of the Most High Living God.’’ This is an Unquestionable Truth, and this attitude consciously maintained will more rapidly bring the body into the Perfect Activity which was intended from the beginning. I say to the students in all sincerity, there is no possible way of attaining a quality or a desired attribute without claiming it. The outer has drifted into a limited consciousness of declaring it did not have the desired quality, and of course it could not manifest it under those conditions. The thought of the student often is, “Well, I have been holding this idea for a long time, but it doesn’t manifest; it doesn’t work” This is positive proof that somewhere in the consciousness there was lurking a doubt—possibly unknown to the individual.

不论身体内在或者外在的表现如何，学生都必须坚定立场，他的身体是“永生至高之神的殿堂”。这是不容置疑的真理，有意识地保持这种态度会快速地把身体带入完美的活动之中，从最初起本该如此。我真诚地对学生说，不可能在不去宣称的情况下就获得某种品质或者所需要的属性。外在已经陷入一种受限的意识之中：宣告外在不具有所需的品质，当然它无法在这些条件下表达出来。学生的想法常常是，“我已经持有这个想法很长时间了，但是它没有显化出来，它没用。”这是一个确凿的证据，表明意识中的某个地方潜伏着怀疑 —— 还不为这个人所知。

I tell you that no matter what appears on the surface, if you will continually, with firm determination, claim the quality, condition or things you desire, and go right on claiming them with that firm determination, they will find expression in your use just as certain as you do this; but I cannot urge you too strongly always to keep on guard in this matter, for the outer, when you have tried a thing for a few hours, days or months and it seems not to have appeared immediately, begins to say: “It’s no use, if it were going to have acted, it would have by this time. ” Such a thing as failure is absolutely impossible when you have set the Power of the “I AM”一God in you —in action to accomplish a given purpose, if you hold unwaveringly to it with determination.

我告诉你，不论表面上呈现出来的是什么，只要你不断地以坚定的决心，去宣告你想要的品质、状况和事物，以坚定地决心持续地去宣告，当你这样去做的时候，它们就会在你的使用中得到表达；在这件事情上我无法过分强烈地敦促你始终保持警惕，因为对外在自我来说，当你尝试一件事情几个小时、几天或者几个月，而又没有马上出现结果时，外在自我就会开始说：“它没用，若是有用的话，这时已经会有效果了。”当你把内在的神 —— “我是”的力量付诸到行动之中来实现既定目标，若是你坚定不移地坚持下去，那么失败这类的事情是绝对不可能发生的。

Many times I have seen students nearing wonderful achievement, wonderful Victory and Freedom, and this outer attitude of, “not yet being accomplished” would rush in, get their attention to such an extent that it would either retard greatly their progress, or shut the door indefinitely.

很多时候，我看到学生非常接近美妙的成就、美妙的胜利和自由，而外在 “尚未完成”的态度就会冲进来，吸引他们的注意力，从而导致他们进步的大大延迟，或者是无限地关闭他们进步的大门。

The student should compel himself or herself to hold before the mind this Truth: that when the “I AM” Power and Presence is set in motion, It can no more fail in Its Accomplishment than the Universe stop its activity. For this “Mighty I AM Presence” to fail in Its Accomplishment would mean that the Universe would instantly be thrown into chaos. Such is the Certainty and Power of the “I AM” accomplishment. It simply cannot fail unless the outer obstructs the way.

学生应该强迫自己在心智中牢记这个真理：当“我是”的力量和临在启动时，它的成就不可能失败，就像宇宙的活动不会停止一样。因为对于这个“伟大我是临在”来说，若是它的成就失败，就意味着宇宙立即陷入混乱之中。这就是“我是”成就的确定性和力量。它不可能失败，除非外在自我去阻拦。

Every student should guard with great watchfulness that he does not use the “I AM” in negative expression, for when you say: ” ‘I AM’ sick, I have failed, ‘I AM’ not accomplishing this thing as I should, “you are throwing this mighty energy into action to destroy the thing you wish to accomplish. This always happens whenever you use the word “I,” for that is the release of the Universal Power.

每位学生都应该高度警惕，他不应使用“我是”进行负面的表达，因为当你说：“‘我是’病了，我失败了，‘我是’没有完成我应该完成的事情。”你就是把这种伟大的能量投入到破坏性的行动之中，摧毁你想要完成的事情。每当你使用“我”这个词，这种情况就会发生，因为这是宇宙能量的释放。

Knowing that the “I AM” is you, then when you say, “My head aches, my stomach is out of order, my intestinal tract is disturbed, you are throwing the energy into those parts to act according to the thing you have decreed; for when you say “MY,” it is the same energy acting, because there is only one person who can say “I” or “MY,” and that is you, decreeing for your world.

知晓“我是”就是你，那么当你说“我的头痛，我的胃不舒服，我的肠道不适”，那么你就是把对应的能量投入到那些地方，根据你发出的喻令在进行运作；当你说“我的”时，也是同样的能量在进行运作，因为只有一个人可以说“我”或者“我的”，那就是你，在对自己的世界发号施令。

Any expression which can only be used for yourself is including the energy and activity of the “I AM Presence”. The correct attitude to take if some organ seems to be rebellious is to instantly declare and hold fast to it: ” ‘I AM’ the only and Perfect Energy acting there. Therefore, every appearance of disturbance is instantly corrected.’’ This is the important point to keep before the student. If, through habit, you have thought that certain remedial agencies gave assistance, then use these sparingly until you gain sufficient Mastery to govern entirely by your “I AM Presence”.

任何只能用于自己的表达都包含了“我是临在”的能量和活动。若是某个器官运行不佳，那么应该采取的唯一正确态度就是马上去做出这样的宣告，并坚持：“‘我是’在那里运作的唯一而且完美的能量。因此，每一种表面上的干扰都会立即得到纠正。”这是摆在学生面前重要的一点。若是出于习惯，你认为某些治疗药剂提供了帮助，那么请慢慢减少这些治疗方法的使用，直至你获得足够的主宰，通过你的“我是临在”来进行完全统治。

I assure you that even though you think that this remedial agent has given you relief, it is still the same “I AM Presence’’ that has given the remedial agency the power to give you relief. For instance, I have watched the medical world for many centuries, and when one individual of so-called authority says that a certain remedy is no longer of use, it is but a short time until it disappears entirely.

我向你保证，即便你认为这个治疗方法给你带来了舒缓，那么仍然是同样的“我是临在”赋予了这个补救方法以力量，让你得到缓解。比如，我观察医学界有几个世纪之久了，当一个所谓的权威人士说不再使用某个特定的药剂后，很快这种疗法就会完全消失。

The question within the mind of all thinking individuals is that certain herbs or remedial agencies have a certain natural chemical action corresponding to the element within the body. I say to you, what gives or makes the chemical affinity? The Power of your “I AM” which enables you to think!

所有思考的个体心智中的问题是，某些草药或者治疗药剂与身体当中的元素会自然地发生化学反应。我来告诉你，是什么让这些化学元素之间互相作用？正是你的可以让你思考的“我是”力量！

Thus when you come to go round the circle of activity, you will find that there is only One Intelligence and Presence acting, and that is the “I AM” 一 God in you.

因此，当你围绕着这些活动转一圈时，你就会发现，只有一种智能和临在发挥作用，那就是“我是” —— 你内在的神。

Now why not look this Truth square in the face? Take your stand unwaveringly with the “I AM Presence” God in Action in you, and know that It is the only Life in you and all things or remedies to which you alone give power.

为什么现在不去正视这个真理呢？坚定不移地跟“我是临在”、你内在行动中的神站在一起，知道这是你内在唯一的生命，也是你赋予其他的事物和治疗药剂以力量。

Is it not much better to go directly to this “Great I AM Presence’’ and receive Its All-Powerful, Limitless Assistance which cannot fail, than to give power to something that leads you around Robin Hood’s barn to get assistance from something in the outer to which you have given the power?

直接走向这“伟大的我是临在”，去接受它不会失败的全能力量和无限帮助，跟赋予某种事物以力量，让你曲折迂回地从你赋予力量的外在事物中获得帮助相比，直接的方法不是好太多吗？

I know it is not easy for students to turn away from old, old habits or dependence upon certain remedial agencies; but a little thought and meditation upon this fact will simply compel the outer reason and dependence upon these outer things to give way completely before the “Great I AM Presence”.

我知道让学生摆脱旧的习惯或者摆脱对某些特定辅助方法的依赖并不容易，但是对这个事实进行一点思考和沉思，就会简单地让使用这些外在事物的理由和依赖完全让步于“伟大的我是临在”。

There is no way of convincing the student upon this most vital of questions, except he apply the Wisdom and Knowledge with unwavering determination until he proves for himself the active Truth of these simple things. There is no one who can tell to what degree the student can apply this, for only he alone, by trying, may know. Many times the Inner accumulated energy is such that the student is amazed with the results when he begins to apply this.

没有办法让学生完全信服这个最重要的问题，除非他自己去坚定不移地运用智慧和知识，直至他自己可以证明这些简单事情当中活跃着的真理。没有人可以告诉学生可以把这一点应用至什么程度，因为只有他自己通过尝试才能知道。很多时候，内在积累的能量是如此之大，以至于当学生开始应用它时，会对结果感到惊讶。

The Oriental phrase for ,’I AM” is “OM.” That means the same thing that “I AM’’ is beginning to mean to the Western World. For Myself, I like very much the use of the “I AM” because Its very expression indicates “God in Action in the individual. “OM,” as understood by the Orientals, is a Universal Presence, and not nearly so apt to give the student the consciousness of the “I AM Presence’’ acting in the individual, as the use of “I AM.” This largely explains the reason for the condition in India today. Hundreds of thousands in India, through the confu-sion of many castes, have fallen into the error that the intonation of “OM” was all that was required in their lives. While this brings a certain activity in hundreds of thousands of cases, it does not bring the energy of that activity into the individual’s action, and so is of little benefit.

对于东方来说，与“我是 I AM”对应的词就是“OM”。这对西方世界开始使用的“我是”来说，意味着同样的事情。对于我自己来说，我非常喜欢使用“我是”，因为它的表达意味着“神在个体中运作”。东方人所理解的“OM”，是一种普遍的临在，并不像使用“我是”那样容易地让学生意识到“我是临在”在个体中的运作。这在很大程度上解释了印度当今状况的原因。印度有成千上万的人，由于众多种姓的混乱，陷入错误之中，他们认为“OM”唱诵就是他们生活中所需要的一切。虽然这在数万个案例中带来某种活动，但是它并没有把那种活动的能量带入个人行动之中，因此没有什么用处。

The method of the Ascended Masters throughout the ages from time immemorial has been the conscious use of the “I AM Presence,” the recognition and full acceptance of God in Action in the individual, which more and more brings into the individual the Full Intelligent Activity of the God Presence—the Godhead.

自远古以来，历代扬升大师的方法就是有意识地使用“我是临在”，承认并且完全接受神在个体中的运作，这会把神之临在 —— 神性的全然智能活动越来越多地带入到个体之中。

Those Orientals who have reached great attainment, which many of them have, have become aware of this True Activity through their sincere meditation.

那些已经达成伟大成就的东方人，通过他们真诚的冥想活动，他们中的很多人已经意识到了这种真实的活动。

Perhaps the simplest, most powerful single thing that the individual can keep himself reminded of is that when he says “I AM,” he is knowingly or unknowingly, setting into action within himself the Full, Unadulterated Energy of God.

或许个人可以提醒自己的一件最简单、最强大的事情就是，当他说“我是”时，他就是在有意或无意地，让神全然纯粹的能量在他内心发挥作用。

Energy becomes power through conscious use. The fact that individuals are in human embodiment is the command to raise the world of the individual into Perfect Activity. When the consciousness of the individual is raised, everything in the world of that individual is raised into the Inner Activity.

通过有意识的使用，能量变成了力量。个体处于人类化身中这一事实，就是把个体的世界提升为完美活动的命令。当个体的意识被提升时，这个人世界中的一切都被提升至内在活动中。

“O Mani Padme Hum” really means God in Action in the individual. Use the “I AM” instead of OM at all times, because many of you have been embodied in an Indian embodiment. At one time you knew that use, and to prevent it calling forth a lesser use, use the “I AM” now to take you to the Full Height.

“O Mani Padme Hum”六字大明咒真正的意思是神在个体中的运作。在任何时候都去使用“我是”而不是OM，因为你们中的很多人已经在印度转世过。曾经你们知道它的使用，为了防止减少它的效用，现在请使用“我是”，把你带到全然的高度。

Whenever you say “I AM,” you are setting the Pure Energy of God into motion, uncolored by human concepts. This is the only way of keeping the pure energy of God uncontaminated by human qualification. Enormous results can be had in a short time by the determined use of these affirmations:

每当你说“我是”时，你就是把神的纯粹能量带入到运作中，不受人类概念的影响。这是保持神的纯粹能量不被人格染色的唯一方法。通过坚定地使用以下肯定句，就可以在短时间内取得巨大成就：

“‘I AM’ this Pure Inspiration.”

“‘我是’这纯粹的启发。”

” ‘I AM’ this Pure ’Light’ right here in action.” (Visualize this through the body now.)

“‘我是’这里纯粹‘圣光’的行动。”（观想圣光通过身体）

“‘I AM’ this Pure Revelation of everything I want to know.”

“‘我是’我想知道的一切的纯粹启示。”

Hold the reins of power forever within yourself. People are afraid of just embracing the Great God Power and letting It operate. What is there to fear in God? Its operation is Pure and Perfect, and if you do not reach out to embrace the Great Pure God Power, how can you expect to use It and have Perfection? You must claim It for your own. To say: ” ‘I AM’ the Ascended Being I wish to be now” immediately enfolds the outer in That Raising Presence. ” ‘I AM’ my Eternal Liberation now from all human imperfection”. Realize who “I AM” is.

永远掌控自己内心的力量。仅仅是去拥抱神的伟大力量，让它运转，就会让人们害怕。神有什么可惧怕的呢？它的运作是纯粹和完美的，如果你不去伸手拥抱伟大纯粹的神之力量，你又怎能指望去运用它并获得圆满呢？你必须去宣告它为自己使用。去说：“‘我是’现在就希望成为的扬升存有，即刻把外在包裹在那个提升性的临在中。”“‘我是’现在起从人类所有不完美中解脱出来的永恒自由。”意识到，“我是”是谁。

You have to use terms of explanation up to a certain point. Know: “This body is the Temple of the Living God and is ascended now.” The human side is such a doubting, criticizing Thomas. All instruction is but to give the individual student a chance to prove it within himself by applying and using the explanation of the “Law” given. Say often: ” ‘I AM, the Governing Power of this activity, and therefore it is always normal.” There is no human being in the Universe who can recognize this “I AM Presence” for another. In your recognition of this “I AM Presence’’ as who you are, every step you gain is a permanent accomplishment, and there can be no retrogression.

在一定程度上，你必须使用解释的术语。知道：“这具身体是永生之神的圣殿，现在得以扬升。”人性的面向就是如此地充满怀疑和批判。所有的指导就是给学生一个机会，通过应用和使用所给予‘法则’的解释，在自己身上去证明这一点。经常去说：“‘我是’这个活动的主宰力量，因此它总是正常运作的。”宇宙之中没有一个人可以替另一个人认识出“我是临在”。当你认识到你就是“我是临在”的时候，你所达成的每一步都是永久的成就，而且不会倒退。

BENEDICTION: Thou Infinite, All-pervading Presence, whose Active Intelligence governs all who look unto Thee, fill each one who seeks the Light with Thy Mighty Inner Light. Hold each one closer and closer in the “Great I AM Presence” that It fills the world of everyone with Thy Great, Great Perfection; and that the consciousness of each individual desires only that Great, Great Presence and Perfection.

祝福：你那无限的、无所不在的临在，你的活跃的智能主宰着所有看向你的人，请用你伟大的内在之光充满每一个寻求圣光的人。在“伟大的我是临在”中抱紧每个人，它让每个人的世界都充满了你伟大的圆满，让每个人的意识都只去渴望那伟大的临在和圆满。

NOTES

附注

All jewels are a high activity of God’s Substance. The more intense the fire, the greater the purifying power. Gold does not long for nor adhere to anything else; all other metals or alloys cling to it. Gold is this way because it is of a pure element.

所有的珠宝都是神之材质的强大活动。越是透彻，净化的力量就越强。黄金也不渴望附着其他任何的东西，而其他的金属或合金都想附着在它上面。黄金之所以如此，是因为它的本质很纯粹。

In all kinds of fuel activity there is at some point a golden flame. All consuming of outer substance at some point is always red, for the red color is the throwing off of the imperfection and impurity. If the impurity were not there, the substance would go from the outer immediately into the golden flame.

在各种燃烧的活动中，有时会出现金色火焰。在用火焰燃烧外在物质过程中的某一点，总会出现红色，因为红色代表摆脱不完美和杂质。若是没有杂质的话，物质就会立即从外面进入到金色火焰之中。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

That which everyone seeks is happiness, sometimes called bliss, and yet many who have sought so earnestly have unknowingly continued to pass by the key to this happiness.

每个人都在追求幸福，有时它也被称作极乐，但是很多认真追求的人却在不知不觉中错过了通往幸福的关键。

The simple key to Perfect Happiness and its inherent sustaining power is Self-control and Self-correction. This is so easy to accomplish when one has learned he is the “I AM Presence” and Intelligence controlling and commanding all things.

通往完美幸福及其内在维系力量的一个简单重点，就是自我控制和自我纠正。当一个人了解他就是控制和命令万物的“我是临在”和智能时，这很容易达成。

Surrounding each individual is a thought-world created by him or her. Within this thought-world is the seed, the “Divine Presence,” the “I AM,” which is the only acting Presence there is in the Universe, and which directs all energy. This energy can be intensified beyond any limit through the conscious activity of the individual.

围绕着每个人能量场的，是由他自己创造的思想世界。在这个思想世界中有种子，就是“神圣的临在”、“我是”，这是宇宙中唯一运作的临在，指挥着所有的能量。通过这个个体有意识的活动，这种能量可以被强化，超越所有限制。

The “Divine Presence” within is likened unto the pit or seed of a peach; the thought-world around It unto the pulp of the peach. The pulp represents not only the thought-world created by the individual, but also the Universal Electronic Substance, ever present, waiting to be acted upon by the conscious determination of the individual—to be precipitated into his visible use as the form of whatsoever he may desire.

内在“神圣的临在”可以被比作桃核或桃子的种子，果肉可以比作环绕着临在的思想形态。果肉不仅代表了个体所创造的思想形态，也代表了一直存在的宇宙电子材质，它们处于待命的状态，等待着个体有意识的去下定决心 —— 从而以他想要的各种形态沉降至他能看到的使用之中。

The sure pathway to the understanding and use of this conscious power comes through Self-control. What do I mean by Self-control? First, the recognition of the “I AM Intelligence” as the only Acting Presence. Second, that knowing this, we know there is no limit to the power of Its use. Third, that individuals, having been given free will and choice, do create in the world about them whatsoever their thought, through their attention, is held firmly upon.

对这种有意识力量的理解和使用来自自我控制。自我控制是什么意思？首先，认可“我是智能”是唯一运作的临在。其次，知晓这一点，我们要知道对临在力量的使用是没有限制的。其三，个体被给予自由意志和选择，通过把他们的注意力牢牢地放在他们关注的想法上，创造出围绕着他们自己的世界。

The time has arrived when all must understand that thought and feeling are the only and Mightiest Creative Power in Life or in the Universe. Thus the only way to the definite use of the full power of one’s thought and feeling, which is God in Action, is through Self-control—Self-correction—by which one may quickly reach the attainment, the understanding whereby he may direct and use this Creative Thought power without any limit whatsoever.

时间已经到来，所有人必须要理解，想法和情感是生命或宇宙中唯一最强大的创造力。因此，去明确使用一个人思想和情感全然力量，也就是运作中的神之力量的唯一方法，就是通过自我控制 —— 自我纠正 —— 这样一个人就会快速地取得成就，达成理解，从而可以没有任何限制地去引导和使用这种创造性的思想力量。

When sufficient Self-control is attained, it enables individuals to hold the thought steady upon a given desire, likened unto the flame of an acetylene torch held immovable. Thus thought and feeling held upon a given desire unwaveringly, with the consciousness that it is the “I AM Presence and Intelligence” thinking—that it is God in Action—then will they understand that they may bring into visibility, precipitate into visibility, whatsoever they desire.

当获得足够的自我控制时，它就可以让个人在某个意愿的想法上保持坚定，就好像是举着一把燃烧着的乙炔火炬，一动不动地。就这样，让想法和情感在一个确切的愿望上保持稳固，意识到，这是“我是临在和智能”在思考 —— 那是行动中的神 —— 然后他们就会理解他们会把他们想要的，不论那是什么，带入到可见领域，沉降至可见领域。

It has been proved in a thousand ways that the effect of a thing cannot bring happiness. Only by the understanding of the cause operating may the individual become Master of his world. Each individual, knowing that he is the Creator of his own world and what he wishes to have manifest in it, will understand that he has at no time any right to create anything discordant in another’s world. Thus is each individual left free to meet the effect of his own creative cause.

已经有上千种方式证明了，一件事情的结果无法带来幸福。只有通过理解这样运作的原因，一个人才能成为他世界的主宰。每个人知道他是自己世界创造者、并且知道他想要去显化什么的人，将会理解，他在任何时候，都没有权利在他人的世界中创造不和谐。因此，每一个人都自由地去面对他自己创造出的事物的结果。

I rejoice exceedingly to see the success with which each student under this Radiation is coming into the Mastery and control of the outer self. Here I must say to them: Beloved Students! could you but understand and see the Magnificent Splendor of achievement before you through asserting Self-control over the outer activity, you would bend every effort, every moment to attaining Control and Mastery over all outer expression.

我非常开心地看到在这种照耀下，每个学生即将进入对外在自我的主宰和控制的成功之中。亲爱的学生们，要是你们可以理解、并在你们面前看到，通过对外在活动的自我控制可以达成何种辉煌卓越的成就，你就会竭尽全力，在每时每刻都去获得对所有外在表达的控制和主宰。

Thus will you be enabled to maintain the needed harmony through which the Inner Mighty Power of the “I AM Presence” is liberated into your conscious and visible use. Let us disabuse the minds of these beloved students of the sense of time, distance and space.

因此，你就可以去保持所需要的和谐，通过这种和谐，内在伟大的“我是临在”的力量就会释放到你有意识并可见的使用之中。让我们消除我们心爱的学生们对时间、距离和空间的错误观念。

The Key which opens the entrance to all higher spheres above you lies in the simplicity and firmness of this Self-control. All students should dwell earnestly upon the Great Truth that: “Where your consciousness is, there you are, for ‘I AM’ everywhere. “

打开所有位于你之上较高领域入口的钥匙，就在于对这种自我控制的简单和坚定之中。所有的学生都必须真诚地居住在这一伟大真理之中：“你的意识在哪里，你就在哪里，因为‘我是’我所不在。”

Long dwelling in consciousness that there was space, great distance, or that there is time, is all but the outer creation of man. Therefore, to step through this gossamer veil that separates your outer consciousness from its Full Inner Power and Activity is but a state of thought and feeling.

长期居住在存在着空间、遥远的距离和时间的意识状态中，而这些不过是人类的外在创造。因此，要跨越这层把你的外在意识与完整内在力量和活动分离开的面纱，这层面纱不过是一种思想和感觉状态。

Those who are reaching to the “Light” so earnestly, desiring to live in and be “Children of the Light,” are dwelling constantly in these Higher Spheres. The beauty of these spheres surpasses the fondest imagination of the outer consciousness. When you enter them consciously and at will you will find all creation there just as tangible as your physical buildings are here.

那些如此真诚地去触碰“圣光”的人，那些渴望活出并成为“光之子”的人，一直居住在那些更高的领域。那些更高领域的美好超越了外在意识当中最美好的想象。当你有意识地进入那些领域，并且可以来去自如地进入时，你就会发现那里所有的创造就像你在物质领域的建筑物一样是有形的。

To take your firm stand:” ‘I AM’ the Power of my complete Self-control, forever sustained” will make it easier for you to gain this Mastery. Students must be conscious that when they recognize the “I AM Presence” acting, it is impossible for It to be interrupted. or interfered with in any way. Know there is no time nor space; then the knowing of the vastness of Eternity is within your grasp. To enter a Higher Sphere than your physical world in full consciousness is but an adjusting or changing of your consciousness. How do we do this?

坚定自己的立场：“‘我是’我完全的自我控制的力量，永远自我维系着”。这样做会让你更容易获得这种主宰。学生们必须意识到，当他们意识到“我是临在”在运作时，它就不可能被打断，或者以任何方式被干扰。知道时间和空间是不存在的，然后对永恒浩瀚的认知就会进入你的掌控之中。在全意识中进入一个比你所在的物质世界更高的领域，不过是调整或转变你的意识。我们如何做到这一点？

Answer: By knowing we are consciously there.

答案：通过知晓我们有意识地在那里。

Affirm often: “Through the Power of the Electronic Circle which I have created, ‘I AM’ no longer touched by any doubts or fears. I joyously grasp the Scepter which ‘I AM’ and step boldly forth into any of these Higher Spheres that I wish, retaining perfectly clear conscious memory of my activity there.”

经常去做这样的肯定：“通过我创造的电子光圈的力量，‘我是’不再被怀疑和空间围绕。我欣喜地握住‘我是’的权杖，勇敢地迈向我向往的任何一个更高的领域，并完美地保留下我在那里活动的清晰且有意识的记忆。”

In this way one may quickly find himself enjoying Limitless Freedom and the Perfect Happiness of being active in any sphere he chooses.

通过这种方式，一个人就可以很快地发现自己在他选择进入活动的任何领域中享受着无限的自由和完美的幸福。

To be aware of what is a thousand years in advance is as easily and readily attained, in fact more so, as going to your library in search of a book.

意识到一千年前发生的事情，就像在图书馆里找一本书一样容易，事实上会比那更加容易。

The great delusion the outer consciousness of mankind has built up, creating time and space in its belief, has been the great stumbling block to humanity’s Freedom.

人类外在意识所建立的巨大幻相，在自己的信念体系中创造了时间和空间的概念，是阻碍人类通往自由的巨大绊脚石。

Those who have reached the great disillusionment, that wealth, or the outer effect of things, cannot bring happiness, will understand with great blessing that within their own Creative thought, power and feeling are held Perfect Happiness, Perfect Freedom, and Perfect Dominion.

那些已经达成彻底醒悟，知晓财富、外在的事物不能带来真正幸福的人，将在巨大祝福中拥有这样的理解：在他们自己的创造性想法、力量和情感之中，拥有着完美的幸福、完美的自由和完美的主宰。

When the student once understands that whatsoever he connects himself with through his attention he becomes a part of to the degree of the intensity with which his attention is fixed, he will see the importance of keeping his attention off the seeming destructive angles of human experience, no matter what they are.

学生们一旦真正明白，不论他通过自己的注意力让他自己与什么连结在一起，根据其注意力的集中度，他都会成为注意力所在的一部分，这样他就会看到，把自己的注意力从人类体验中看似破坏性的视角上移开是多么重要，不论这些破坏性的视角是什么。

To discuss the seeming inability, shortcomings, or faults of your friends and associates but builds that element upon which your discussion rests within your own consciousness, and also adds to the appearance which seems to be in the other individual.

去讨论你朋友和同事的那些看似无能的地方、缺点或者过失，会在你自己的意识中建立你探讨内容的根基，同时也会加重被讨论那个人的看似过失。

Because there are black magicians in the world, certain of God’s Children who are misdirecting and contaminating the Pure Electronic Energy of the “I AM Presence” is no reason why we should let our attention rest upon that fact, just because we are aware of it. Our business is to hold the attention free to rest within our own Self-control, compelling it by the conscious action to rest on whatsoever we choose.

因为世界上有黑色魔法师，某些神之子正在错误地引导并污染了“我是临在”的纯粹电子能量，不能仅仅因为我们知晓这一点，就应该把我们的注意力放在这一点上。我们的任务是要让自己的注意力放在我们自己的自我控制上，通过有意识地行动，让注意力放在我们所选择的事物上。

Few understand that when their attention is called to some destructive thing, how much and how often they allow the attention to go back to it; or if another has displeased them in some way, how much and how often the attention returns to that incident—when they have the full power to control their attention and make it obey their command.

很少有人能明白，当他们的注意力被放在某些破坏性的事物上面时，他们会在多大程度上，又会有多频繁，允许自己的注意力重新回到那上面；或者，如果一个人让另一个人不高兴了，会在多大程度上，又会有多么频繁，让注意力重新回到不开心的事情上 —— 而他们完全有能力控制自己的注意力，让它服从他们的命令。

Few, even among earnest students, yet understand what a mighty power their faculty of attention becomes under their controlled use.

即便是在那些最真诚的学生中，也很少有人知道，他们的注意力在受控制使用的条件下会变得多么强大。

I wish so much to impress upon the students how foolish it is to be affected, displeased or disturbed by the imaginary activities of the ignorance of the outer self. When they once know: “‘I AM’ the only All Powerful acting Presence in my mind, my body and my world”. they cannot possibly be affected or disturbed by any of their associations in the outer world. They must know then that they are entirely immune from hurt or disturbance of the outer mind of other individuals, no matter what they try to do.

我非常希望让同学们记住，受到外在自我无知的想象活动的影响、不满或者干扰，是多么地愚蠢。当他们一旦知道：“‘我是’我的心智、身体和我所在世界中唯一全能的运作着的临在。”他们就不可能被他们在外部世界中的连接影响或者干扰到。他们必须知道，不论他们要做什么，他们都完全不会受到来自其他个体外在心智的任何伤害或者干扰。

With this understanding, or by giving willing attention to this Great Truth, they will soon find a Peace, Happiness, and Self-control operating about them to such an extent that no outer condition, disgruntled comment or disturbance of their associates could in any wise disturb them, their world or their affairs. As soon as the individual becomes aware that he really has control of his own Creative thought, power, and feeling, then he knows positively that he can precipitate into his visible use, or bring into his use from the outer where it is already created, anything whatsoever upon which he holds his Creative thought and feeling firmly.

带着这种理解，或者愿意把注意力给到这个伟大的真理的人们，就会很快发现，一种和平、幸福和自我掌控在他们的周围运作，可以到达这样的程度：任何外部的状况、与他们共事之人的不满评论或者干扰，都不可能打扰他们、他们所在的世界以及他们的事务。一旦个人意识到他能够真正地控制自己创造性的想法、力量和情感，接下来他就明确地知道，他可以把这些沉降到他可见的使用之中，或者从外部已经创造出来的带入到他的使用中，不论他坚定地把自己的创造性想法和情感放在哪里。

The moment that he is truly aware of this, he will know he is forever free from the need of the wealth of the outer world, or anything that the outer world can give. Thus has he entered into the Mastery and Dominion of his own world, the only world that is ever existent to him, and which is his God-given Birthright.

在他真正意识到这一点的那刻，他就会知道，他永远不再需要来自外在世界的财富，或者外在世界所给予的任何东西。如此，他进入了他自己世界的掌控和主宰之中，这对他来说是唯一存在的世界，也是神赋予他的与生俱来的权利。

I assure you, there is no such thing as a supernatural world. As we step from this sphere of activity into another higher, that one becomes just as Real as this is. It is simply a different state of consciousness we have entered into.

我向你们保证，不存在超自然的世界。当我们从这个活动领域进入另一个更高的领域时，另一个领域就会变得像现在这个一样真切。我们仅仅是进入了不同的意识状态。

To the joy, glorification and blessing of the mothers, sisters, wives and daughters, I will say that within one hundred years there will be hundreds who will be able to use the Cosmic Rays to cleanse their homes and keep them so; to weave their seamless garments when they will have no desire to follow the freakish styles created by some commercialized idea.

为了母亲、姐妹、妻子和女儿的喜悦、荣耀和祝福，我要说，在一百年内，会有千百人可以使用宇宙射线来净化他们的家，并保持干净；当他们不再想遵循某些商业化理念创造的诡异风格时，他们就可以编织他们的无缝长袍。

I find so many of the students wondering how it is that Ascended Beings or Masters, with all Their Creative Power, often choose to live in humble quarters. I assure you the explanation is very easy. The far greater part of Their Life and Activity is spent in the Higher Spheres in which they are directing Mighty Rays of Light to the Blessing of humanity— from Homes and Temples of Light and Wisdom so beautiful, so transcendent as almost to stagger the imagination of the outer consciousness. Those Homes and Temples are Eternal, ever becoming more and more beautiful. So They only spend a few hours in the visible world, which causes Them to lower the density of Their Transcendent Forms, that They may become visible to those yet occupying the physical body. If the students will understand this, it will save them much questioning and confusion in the outer expression—which time they can use in the Activity of the “Mighty I AM Presence”.

我发现很多学生想知道，为什么扬升存有或者扬升大师，尽管他们拥有所有的创造力，却常常选择居住在简陋的房间里。我向你保证，原因很简单。他们的生命和活动的大部分时间都花在更高的领域，在那里他们引导伟大的圣光射线，用来祝福全人类，那些伟大的圣光射线来自光与智慧的家园和殿堂，它们是如此美丽超然，会震撼外部意识的想象力。那些家园和殿堂是永恒存在的，并且变得越来越美丽。因此，他们只会在可见的世界中度过几个小时，这会让他们从他们的超然形态中降低振动频率，从而对那些仍然使用肉身的人可见。如果学生们明白了这一点，他们就会对扬升存有的外在表达减少很多疑问和困惑 —— 这些时间他们可以用在“伟大我是临在的活动”中。

This will bring them into that Transcendent State and consume the longing for the wealth of the outer world, which is but rubbish in comparison to the transcendent, Creative Power inherent in every individual. They can bring this Transcendent Power into their use through their own Self-control and Mastery. I say to you beloved students, Children of the One God, is it not worth your sincerest effort— when you know you cannot fail? Take your Scepter of the Mighty Creative Power and be forever free from all past, binding limitations which have beset mankind through the ages. I assure you that everyone who enters in to attain this Scepter and Mastery will be given every needed assistance, if each one will try with all his ability.

这会把他们带入那种超然状态中，转化对外部世界财富的渴望，因为这与每个人内在固有的超然创造力相比，外部世界的财富就像垃圾一般的存在。他们可以通过自己的自我控制和主宰，来运用这种超然的力量。我对亲爱的学生们讲，合一之神的孩子们，这难道不值得你付出最真诚的努力吗 —— 当你们知道自己不会失败？带着你伟大创造力的权杖，永远摆脱掉过去困扰人类多个世代的束缚限制。我向你们保证，如果每个人都竭尽全力去尝试，获得这权杖和主宰的每个人，都会获得所需要的一切帮助。

The one having the understanding of his Creative Ability must know that he can create whatsoever he will, in whatever rate of vibration he desires to hold it, whether it be Light, or any other condensation he may choose to maintain it.

了解自己创造力的人必须知道，他可以创造他想要的任何东西，并且以他想要保持的振动频率来拥有它，不论是圣光，还是其他的他选择要沉降的事物。

You know you have the ability to change your thought from Chicago to New York in the same instant, and you know you can change your thought from a condition of Light to one of very dense condensation, such as iron. Then one cannot help but see that this which he does every moment, consciously and at will, he can bring into a more powerful use— by consciously fixing the attention and holding it upon what he desires.

你知道你有能力在一瞬间把你的思想从芝加哥切换到纽约，并且你知道你可以把自己的思想从圣光的状态转变为非常稠密的凝结状态，比如铁。然后一个人就会自然而然地发现，他在每时每刻，都可以有意识地，根据自己的意愿，把自己要做的事发挥出更强大的效用 —— 通过有意识地把注意力牢牢集中在他想要的事物上。

The attention is the channel by which God’s Mighty Energy, through thought and feeling, flows to its directed accomplishment. Because one has not yet precipitated something from the invisible, there is that lurking doubt, until some simple manifestation has occurred. Then his courage and confidence leap into dominion, and in the future he has no trouble in precipitating whatsoever he desires.

注意力是管道，神的伟大能量通过想法和情感，流入到注意力引导着的想要达成的愿望之上。因为人们尚未从无形领域沉降出某种事物，所以存在着潜在的怀疑，直至一些简单的显化发生。然后他的勇气和信心就会占据主导地位，在将来他就可以毫无困难地沉降出他想要完成的任何事情。

The precipitation of gold or jewel from the invisible to the visible is as simple as breathing, when once that foolish questioning doubt accumulated by the outer is consumed or pushed aside.

从无形领域沉降出黄金或者珠宝，就像呼吸一样简单，一旦外在积累的愚蠢质疑被转化或抛开的话。

Mankind, through the centuries, has built up these walls of limitation. Now they must be broken up, shattered and consumed in any way that we can do it. At first it does take determination to do it, but when you know it is the “I AM Power” acting, you know It cannot fail. The outer only has to hold the attention fixed on the object to be made visible. Dwell on this, and all of a sudden you will find yourself into the activity, and you will be amazed that you dwelt so long without using it.

几个世纪以来，人类创造了这些限制之墙。现在我们必须以所有我们能做到的方式，把那些壁垒打碎、粉碎和吞噬。一开始这样做的确需要决心，但是当你知道这是“我是力量”在运作时，你就会知道它不会失败。外在只需要把注意力牢牢地放在目标上，从而让其显化出来。仔细思考这一点，突然间你就会发现自己进入这项活动中，你会很惊讶，自己之前那么久都不知道去使用它。

The length of the Ray from a precipitated substance or condensation of “Light” is controlled by the consciousness of the wearer. If the wearer’s consciousness is raised very high, the scintillation is very great.

来自沉降材质或者浓缩“圣光”的光射线长度，由佩戴者的意识所控制。若是佩戴者的意识提升得非常高，那么其闪烁度就会很高。

The “Jewel of Light” is yet in its Transcendent State of Perfection. The jewel in a condensed substance such as a diamond, emerald, or ruby, naturally will take on the condition of its wearer. If the rate of thought vibration in the person wearing it be low, the jewel will become lusterless, while if the thought be transcendent, it will become very luminous.

“光之宝石”也处于超凡的完美状态。由沉降材质构成的珠宝，比如钻石、祖母绿或红宝石，会自然地呈现出佩戴者状态。若是佩戴者的思想频率低，宝石就会变得黯淡无光；若是佩戴者有着超然的思想，那么宝石就会变得非常明亮。

When one has become a sincere student reaching to the Light, he must qualify everything in his environment with the Quality of the “I AM Presence” no matter what the appearance seems to be. You see, there cannot be a quality or an appearance in your world except what you give to it.

当一个人成为一名接近圣光的真诚的学生时，他必须以“我是临在”的品质来限定他环境中的一切，不论外表看起来如何。你看，除了通过你来进行赋予之外，你的世界不可能有某种特质或者事物。

If fear causes you to believe in a disturbing presence, you are responsible for it, because if there were to be a disturbing presence and you qualitied it by the “I AM Presence, ” you see how impossible it would be for it to disturb you. There is only one energy acting, and the moment you acknowledge the “I AM Presence”, you have requalified that activity with Perfection.

若是恐惧让你相信存在着某种让你不安的临在，那么你要为此负责。因为若是存在着一个令人不安的临在，那么是你通过“我是临在”来这么限定它的，你就会发现，它根本不会打扰到你。只存在着一种能量在运作，当你认可“我是临在”的那一刻，你就是用完美来重新限定了这种活动。

Expectation is a very powerful qualifying consciousness to maintain. Intense expectation is a splendid thing. It manifests always. The individual, through the centuries, has created a veil through which he has shut out these Transcendent Spheres. If he has created it, which he has, then common sense and reason will tell one that he can uncreate it.

期待是一种非常强大的需要保持的赋予特性的意识。强烈的期待是一件很棒的事情。它总是会显化出来。几个世纪以来，个人创造了一层面纱，这层面纱把这些超然的领域拒之门外。若是它可以创造它（已经创造了出来），那么常识和理智就会告诉人们，他也可以取消创造。

A Powerful Radiation has gone forth to yourselves and students with a powerful conviction that will be sustained—until they have this Work which is given today. To convey the simplicity, the ease and certainty with which the idea, through Creative thought and feeling, can be brought into visibility, is a thing the students should dwell upon. This will dissolve that feeling of “Can I?” and in its place put “I can” and “I know”.

一道强大的照耀已经向你们和学生们发送出，带着强大的信念，它会维系下去 —— 直至他们也学习到今天给出的这部分内容。创造性的思想和情感可以被带入到物质领域显化出来，这个真理简单、轻松而且确切。学生们要认真思考这件事情。这会消除“我可以吗？”这种疑惑的感觉，取而代之的是“我可以”和“我知道”。

If the students will keep themselves harmonious, from time to time they will have flashes that will give them all needed confidence. Add to all commands on going out of the body that you retain the conscious memory of whatever you experience. Stick right to a thing from the start and know that whatever knowledge you need will be forthcoming instantly.

若是学生们保持自己处于和谐的状态，时不时地就会闪现出他们所需要的信心的火花。除了那些离开身体的命令之外，你还要下令保留对你所经历任何事情的有意识的记忆。去做一件事情的时候，要一开始就保持坚持，并知道你需要的任何知识都会立即出现。

When you allow the attention to become fixed upon a thing, you that moment give it power to act in your world.

当你允许自己的注意力放在某件事情上时，你就赋予了它在你的世界中行动的力量。

BENEDICTION: Thou Great Happiness—the Mighty Presence and Power which “I AM”! I qualify Thee to go forth in the hearts of mankind, anchoring there and filling their minds, bodies and homes, filling them with Thy Great Happiness.

祝福：你那伟大的幸福 —— “我是”伟大的临在和力量！我让你进入人类的内心，锚定在那里，充满他们的心智、身体和家庭，让他们充满你伟大的幸福。

Open the door of their consciousness so that the Mighty Power which “I AM” can come forth in Full Perfection. O Mighty Presence! Hold the Children of Light, the Individualities of God, hold them close in Thy Embrace, letting Thy Quality flow forth in their command, filling them with Thy Great Peace. O Mighty Presence of Justice! Enter in and reign in all official places. Let the destructive intent of mankind be revealed, that it may be cast out and be consumed. Let the Fullness and Power of Thy Radiant Light enfold all, and Thy Glorious Transcendent Light fill all places.

打开他们的意识之门，从而让“我是”的伟大力量能够以全然完美的方式显现出来。噢，伟大的临在！拥抱光之子，神之子女，把他们紧紧地拥抱在你的怀抱中，让你的品质在他们的命令下流淌，让他们充满你伟大的平和。噢，正义的伟大临在！进入并主宰所有的官方场合。让人类破坏性的意图显露，从而得以被驱逐和消灭。让你闪耀圣光的全然和力量笼罩一切，让你荣耀超然的圣光遍布所有地方。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

One of the great needs of individuals, and even of sincere students today, is to feel the necessity of giving time morning and evening to sincere meditation: to the stilling of the outer activity that the Inner Presence may come forth unobstructed.

一个人最大的需要，即便是当今世界上那些最诚挚的学生，是感觉有必要在每天早晚拿出时间进行真诚的冥想；使外在活动平静下来，从而让内在的临在可以不受阻碍的出现。

Meditation really means — feeling—the Active Presence of God. Therefore, when one attempts to enter meditation, he cannot drag all the disturbance that has beset him during the day along with him. Therefore, consciously remove from the feeling and attention every disturbing thing, enter into your meditation to feel the “Presence of God,” and do not revolve your troubles. When the Statement was given: “Know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free, ” it meant the recognition, acceptance and Activity of the “Mighty I AM Presence. “

冥想实际上意味着 —— 感受神的活跃临在。因此，当一个人进入冥想时，他不能把白天困扰他的所有那些干扰带入冥想。因此，要有意识地从感觉和注意力中移除所有扰乱你的事情，进入冥想中，感受“神之临在”，不要在你的烦恼中打转。有这样一句话：“去知晓真理，真理会让你获得自由。”这句话意味着对“伟大我是临在”活动的认可和接受。

First, know: “I AM” is the First Principle and absolute certainty of Freedom now. Second, know: “I AM” the active Presence, governing all manifestation in my Life and world perfectly. Then I have entered into the Truth which shall bring all Freedom. I must relate a thing that would be most laughable, if it were not really serious. You would chastise it and rebel considerably if your little pet dog continued to carry bones from the alley into your living room. You would think he were doing that which is very much out of place.

首先，要知晓：“我是”首要法则，也是当下的绝对自由。其次，要知晓“我是”活跃的临在，完美地主宰着我生命和世界中的所有表达。然后就进入带来一切自由的真理之中。我可以用一件有趣的事情打比方，仿佛它真的没有那么严重。若是你的小宠物狗一直把骨头从外面的巷子里拖到你的客厅中，你会严厉地惩罚它，并禁止它这么做。你可能认为它这样的行为是非常不合适的。

Do you know, Beloved Students of Truth, that when you allow your minds to dwell upon disturbing things or experiences, you are doing a great deal worse than bringing bones into the living room? The unfortunate thing with students and individuals which seems so difficult for them to understand is: never under any circumstances try to hold the water that has gone over the wheel.

追求真理的学生们，你们是否知道，当你们允许自己的心智停留在让人不安的事情或者体验中，你们这么做要比把骨头带到客厅糟糕的多。对于学生和个人来说不幸的是，他们似乎很难去理解：在任何情况下都不要试图挽回已经流过车轮的水。

In other words, the unpleasant experiences, losses, or any imperfection that has passed over your wheel of experience to the present time should never be held close to you. They have gone over the wheel—forgive and forget them. To give and forgive is Godlike indeed. For illustration: if an individual or group of individuals has gone into a business undertaking, and through lack of understanding, it has failed or gone to pieces, it is always because of inharmony in the mental attitude and feelings.

换而言之，那些不愉快的体验、损失或者不完美的经历，那些从你的体验之轮中已经滚动过去的所有事情，都不要一直把它们放在你的注意力中。它们已经滚动过去了 —— 原谅并释放它们。去给予和去宽恕的确是神一般的行为。举个例子：若是某个个体或团体承担起一项事业，由于缺乏理解，这项事业失败或溃散，这是因为心智的态度和情感存在着不和谐。

If every individual in such an association would take his stand—and hold it —that there was only God in Action, only the most perfect success would come out of it. Since the individual has free will, if he will not control his own thought and feeling, he will wreck things for himself and others. Such is the Great Law, unless every individual corrects his own thought and feeling, and keeps it so.

若是这样团体中的每一个个体都坚持自己的立场 —— 坚守这一点 —— 只有神在运作，其结果只有最完美的成功。因为个体拥有自我意志，若是他不去控制自己的想法和情感，他就会毁掉自己和他人的事业。这就是伟大的法则，除非每个人去纠正自己的想法和情感，而且要保持这种状态，否则就会失败。

Everyone who manifests in the physical form today has made plenty of mistakes—sometime, somewhere—so let no one take the attitude, ” ‘I AM’ more holy than thou” but each one’s first attitude should be to call on the Law of Forgiveness; and if he be feeling or sending criticism, condemnation, or hate to another of God’s children, a brother or sister, he can never have enlightenment or success until he calls on the Law of Forgiveness. Further than this, he must say to that person to whom he was feeling disturbed in any way—silently: “I send to you the fullness of the Divine Love of my Being to bless and prosper you.” This attitude is the only release and Freedom from the seeming failures of the outer activity.

现今，显化在肉身形态之中的人都犯了很多错误 —— 某个时间、某个地点 —— 所以任何人都不应该有这样的态度：“‘我是’要比你更加神圣”。每个人应该端正的首要态度就是转向宽恕法则，若是一个人对另一位神之子、他的兄弟姐妹散发出评判、谴责或者仇恨，除非他呼请宽恕法则，否则他永远不可能获得开悟或者成功。更进一步地，他还必须要对那位让他感到不安的人默默地说：“我向你发送我存在的全部神圣之爱，来祝福你，并给你带来成功。”这种态度是从外在活动的看似失败中解脱出来，重获自由的唯一方法。

For individuals to continually revolve in their minds and discussion a business or project that has disintegrated will surely in the end destroy themselves—if they do not face about, and through calling on the Law of Forgiveness find complete conscious release from the entire situation.

对于个体来说，若是他们不去面对、不通过宽恕法则的运作找到从整个状况中解脱出来的方法，若是他们还不断地在心智中思考和讨论已经瓦解的事业或项目，他们最终肯定会毁掉自己。

For an individual to hold an attitude of revenge for any seeming wrong, imaginary or otherwise, can only bring upon himself incapacity of mind and body. The old, yet wondrous Statement brought down to us through the ages: “Unless you are willing to forgive, how can you be forgiven,” is one of the Mightiest Laws for use in human experience. Oh that individuals and many students could only see how they hold to themselves the things they do not want by allowing the mind to revolve upon the discordant things which have passed and cannot be helped through the outer senses!

对于一个人来说，对任何看似错误的、想象中的或者其他事情抱有报复性的态度，只会让自己的心智和身体丧失功能。流传千古的古老而奇妙的寓言告诉我们：“除非你愿意去宽恕，否则你不会被宽恕。”这是人类体验中可以使用的最伟大的法则之一。许多人、以及许多学生一直让自己的思想附着在那些混乱的事情上，让过去发生的事情环绕着自己，而这些事情已经是过去了，已不能通过外在的行动去改变！

The greatest thing that all mankind is seeking in reality is Peace and Freedom, which is always the doorway to happiness. There is only one possible way to receive this, which is to know God—the “I AM Presence” —and that this Presence is the only acting Intelligence in your Life and world at all times. Then stand by this and live it.

全人类在现实生活中追求的最伟大的事情就是和平与自由，它们是通往幸福的途径。只有一种方法到达那里，那就是认识神 —— 也就是“我是临在”。这位临在是你生命和世界中唯一的行动智能。坚持这一点，并活出这一点。

One of the most amazing things that it has been My experience to witness—since coming into the Ascended State—is the distorted idea of Freedom, financially and otherwise. There is but one sure, certain rock upon which to build your eternal financial freedom, and that is to know and feel with every fiber of your Being: ” ‘I AM, the wealth, the opulence, the substance, already perfected in my world, of every constructive thing that I can possibly conceive of or desire. ” This is true financial freedom and will bring it as surely as it is maintained—and it will not get away, I assure you.

自从进入扬升状态以来，我所经历的最令人惊奇的事情之一，就是目睹对自由这个词的扭曲，不论是财务上的，还是其他的。只有一块确切的、确定的基石，让你可以建立自己的永恒财务自由，那就是用你存在的每一条神经去感受：“‘我是’我想到的、或者想要去做的每一件建设性事情的财富、丰盛和材质，这在我的世界已经完美。”这是真正的财务自由，并且它一定会带来它所保持的 —— 而且它不会消失，我向你保证。

On the other hand, man may use—knowingly or unknowingly—enough of this “God I AM Presence’, or God-Energy to accumulate through the outer activity millions of dollars; but wherein is his certainty of keeping it? I assure you, it is impossible for any Being in the physical world to keep wealth that is accumulated without his being aware that God is the Power producing and sustaining it. You see before you constant illustrations of great wealth taking wings overnight, as it were. Thousands within the past four years have met this experience. Even after the seeming loss had occurred, had they been able to take their firm, conscious stand: ” ‘I AM’ the wealth—God in Action—now manifest in my Life, my world,” the way, the door, would have immediately opened for them to have again received abundance.

另一方面，人类可能 —— 有意或无意地 —— 使用了足够多的“神之我是临在”，或是，神的能量通过外部活动积累了数百万美元；但是他确保这百万美元一直存在的确定性在哪里？我向你保证，若是意识不到神才是产生并维系财富存在的力量，那么物质世界的任何人都不可能保留下这积累的财富。你会看到不断出现的实例，巨额财富仿佛在一夜之间蒸发完。过去四年中，有数千人有过这种经历。但是，即便经历了表面上的损失，一个人仍然可以采取坚定的有意识的立场：“‘我是’财富 —— 运作中的神 —— 现在就显化在我的生命和我的世界中。” 然后，道路、大门就会立即开放，让他们再次获得丰盛。

Why do I say, “Again to have received abundance”? Because they had built the momentum and had attained great confidence. Therefore all requirements were at hand ready for further use; but in most instances, they allowed great discouragement—often hatred and condemnation—to enter in, which shut and locked the door to further progress.

为什么我会说“会让他们再次获得丰盛呢？”因为他们已经积攒了势头，获得了极大的信心。因此，所有的要求已经具备，可供进一步使用；但是在大多数情况下，人们会让极大的沮丧 —— 通常来说是仇恨和谴责 —— 进入，从而关闭和锁上更进一步的大门。

Now let me assure you, Beloved Children of God, there is no outer condition ever existed in this world so bad, so disastrous, but that there is the “I AM, ” the Active Presence of God with the Eternal Strength and Courage of the Universe, to again rebuild you into Freedom and independence, financially and every way.

我向你们保证，敬爱的神之子们，这个世界上从来没有过如此糟糕、如此灾难性的外在状况，但是这里有“我是”，有着宇宙永恒力量和勇气的活跃的神之临在，会重新构建通往财务以及各个方面的自由和独立。

I especially want the students who come under this Radiation to understand this, because in this day of falling thrones and governments, individual fortunes and otherwise, they need to know and understand if their wealth has flown away through ignorance of understanding, then the “I AM Presence” in them, God in Action, is the sure Rebuilder of their faith, confidence, wealth, or to whatever they wish to direct their conscious attention. Thus they allow this Mighty Inner Energy to flow into their desire—which is the only Power that ever accomplished anything.

我特别希望在这种照耀之下的学生能够理解这一点，因为在这个王位、政府、个人财富等等纷纷垮台的世代，他们需要知道并理解，如果他们的财富因为自己的无知而飞走了，那么他们内在的“我是临在”，运作中的神，定然是可以重新建立他们的信念、信心和财富，不论他们希望把他们的注意力导向哪里，“我是临在”都是重新建设者。因此，他们允许这种伟大的内在能量流入他们的意愿之中 —— 这是可以完成任何事情的唯一力量。

Every individual who has seemingly expressed a loss of wealth to any degree should immediately use the marvelous Statement of Jesus: ” ‘I AM’ the Resurrection and the Life of my business, my understanding, or whatever thing I wish to focus my attention on. “

每一个表面上看上去损失了或多或少财富的人，都应该马上使用耶稣的这句美妙的肯定句：“‘我是’我的事业、我的理解力、以及我注意力所在的所有事物的复活和生命。”

I tell you frankly, Beloved Students and individuals, there is not the slightest hope for you in heaven or earth so long as you persist in holding within your consciousness thoughts and feelings of criticism, condemnation, or hate of any description, and that includes mild dislike.

我坦白地对你们说，亲爱的学生和个人，只要你们坚持在自己的意识中放置任何拥有批评、谴责、仇恨的思想和情感，即便是最温和的不喜欢，那么不论你在天堂还是在地球，你们都没有丝毫的希望。

This leads us to the very vital point that you are concerned only with your own activity and your world. It is not your province to judge another, for you do not know the forces playing upon another or the conditions. You know only the angle that you see of it, and I tell you that if an individual should be entirely innocent of any intent to wrong another, the individuals who send criticism, condemnation or hate to such an one are doing worse than committing physical murder. Why is this so? Because thought and feeling are the only Creative Power; and while such thoughts and feelings may not touch or harm their objective, they must return and bring with them the conditions sent out by the individual who sent them forth—and always with accumulated energy.

这把我们带向非常重要的一点：你只需要去关心自己的活动和自己的世界。评判他人不是你的职责，因为你不知道影响其他人或状况的因素是什么。你只知道你看上去事情的角度，我来告诉你，若是一个人完全没有任何伤害他人的意图，那么其他向这个人发送评判、谴责或仇恨的人，比实施人身谋杀更加糟糕。为什么如此，因为想法和情感是唯一创造的力量，虽然这些想法和情感可能不会触动或伤害他们投射的目标，但是它们一定会返回，并携带着发送这些能量出去的个体所限定的状况 —— 而且总是伴随着积累的能量。

So after all, the one who holds vicious thoughts to another is in reality but destroying himself, his business and his affairs. There is no possible way of averting it, except for the individual to awaken and consciously reverse the currents.

毕竟，对他人抱有恶意的人实际上只是在毁掉他自己，他自己的事业和事务。除了个人觉醒并有意识地扭转能量浪潮之外，没有其他方法可以避免它。

Let us go one step further. Throughout all ages, there have been business associations in which there were one or possibly two with the deliberate intent to do wrong, and through this association, a number of individuals absolutely innocent of any wrong intent have been imprisoned. I now tell you, as an Unfailing Law that cannot be changed, that the individual or individuals who cause innocent persons to be incarcerated—thus depriving them of their of action as God intended—will bring that exact experience which they have desired for another into their own experience, even unto the third and fourth embodiment following.

让我们更进一步。古往今来，总是有一些商业协会，其中会有那么一两个持有做错事的意图。通过这样的协会，就会有一些绝对无辜的、没有任何负面意图的个人被关押起来。我来告诉您，作为一则永远不会被改变的永恒法则，那些导致无辜之人被监禁的个体 —— 他们这么做剥夺了那些个体本应按照神去运作的权利 —— 因此会把他们让其他人遭受的这些确切体验带入到他们自己的经历之中，甚至可以携带到接下来的第三、第四次转世。

For Myself, I would rather a thousand times be deliberately shot down than to be the instrument of depriving any of God’s Children of their liberty. There is no greater crime reigning in human experience today than the prevailing use of circumstantial evidence, for in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it is afterwards found to be entirely wrong. Sometimes the Truth is never known to the outer senses.

就我自己而言，我宁愿被故意击落一千次，也不愿意成为剥夺其他神之子自由的工具。在当今人类的体验中，没有什么比普遍使用间接证据更严重的罪行了，因为在一百个案例中，有九十九个事后被发现是完全错误的。有时，外在感官永远无法了解真相。

So Beloved Students, let no one seeking the “Light” ever set himself up in judgment on another of God’s Children.

因此，亲爱的孩子们，任何一位寻求“圣光”的孩子都不要让自己陷入对另一位神之子的评判中。

Again, supposing someone we love very much seems to be going all awry. What is the first thing the outer would do? As a rule, to begin sitting in judgment and criticism. The most powerful thing that can and should be done for such an individual by everyone who knows anything of the circumstances is to pour out all their Love and to silently know: ” ‘I AM’, God in Action, is the only controlling Intelligence and Activity within this brother or sister.” To keep silently speaking to that one’s consciousness is the greatest help possible to be given.

再说一次，假设我们深爱的人看上去出了问题。外在需要做的第一件事情是什么？通常来说，就是开始批评和指责。每个了解状况的人能够而且应该为这样的人去做的最有力的事情，就是倾注他们所有的爱，而且在心中知晓：“‘我是’运作中的神，是这位兄弟姐妹内在唯一主宰的智能和活动。”一直默默地跟那个人的意识去这样交谈，是所能给予的最大帮助。

Many times to remonstrate verbally with an individual sets up a condition of antagonism, intensifying rather than erasing the activity which the silent work would be absolutely certain to accomplish.

很多时候，对一个人进行口头的抗议会制造对抗的状况，加剧而不是消除已经发生的状况，而沉默地工作绝对可以去完成消除。

No one in the outer consciousness can possibly know what the “I AM God Presence” in the other individual wishes to do. These are vital Truths that, if maintained, would bring very great peace into the lives of individuals. Many lives with their attendant business efforts are ruined because there is lurking within the consciousness of the individual judgment, condemnation, or a feeling of some degree of hatred toward another.

外在意识不会知晓另一个人内在的“我是神之临在”想要做什么。这些是至关重要的真理，若是得以保持，会给个人的生活带来巨大的和平。很多人的生活，还有他们在商业活动中的努力被毁掉，是因为在个体的意识中存在着评判、谴责，或者是对他人的某种程度的仇恨。

The student or individual who wants to leap ahead in the progress of the Light should never enter sleep until he has consciously sent Love to every individual whom he feels has harmed him at any time. This thought of Love will go straight as an arrow into the consciousness of the other individual—because it cannot be stopped—there generating its Quality and Power which will as surely come back to you as you send it out.

想要在圣光中取得进步的学生或个人，在他有意识地把爱发送给他认为曾经伤害过的个体之前，不要入睡。这种爱的思想会像一只箭头一样，射入到另一个人的意识中，因为它无法被阻止 —— 在那里产生爱的特质和力量，正如你发出它时那样，它也一定会回到你身边。

There is perhaps no single element responsible for so many diseased conditions of body and mind as the feeling of hate sent out to another individual. There is no telling how this will react upon the mind and body of the sender. In one, it will produce one effect; in another, still a different effect. Let it be here understood that resentment is but another form of hate, only of a milder degree.

也没有哪个单独的因素能像对另一个人发出仇恨的感觉那样，带来如此多身体和心智的疾病。没有人知道这会对发送者的心智和身体产生怎样的影响。其一，它会产生某种效果；其二，还会有另一种不同的效果。在这里要理解的是，怨恨只是仇恨的另一种形态，只是程度较轻。

A very wonderful thought to live in always is: ” ‘I AM’ the Perfect Creative Thought and Feeling everywhere present in the minds and hearts of individuals. ” It is a most marvelous thing. It not only brings rest and peace to yourself, but releases limitless Gifts from the “Presence. “

可以永远都活在这样美妙的想法中：“‘我是’存在于人们心智和内心当中的、无所不在的完美创造性想法和情感。”这是最为美妙的事情，它只会给你带来休憩与安宁，而且还会从“临在”中释放无尽的礼物。

Another is: ” ‘I AM’ the Mighty Law of Divine Justice and Protection acting in the minds and hearts of individuals everywhere. ” You can apply and use this with enormous force and power in every way. Another is: ” ‘I AM’ Divine Love, filling the minds and hearts of individuals everywhere.”

另一个是：“‘我是’神圣正义和完美的伟大法则，在所有人的心智和内心中运作。”你可以用能发挥出的巨大力量和能量来应用和使用它。另一个是：“‘我是’神圣之爱，充满了世界上所有人的心智和内心。”

As you think on this, you will understand what was done when this home was made a Radiating Center of the “Active Presence of God.” You will suddenly come into a realization of the gigantic application of this. Everything in the Life experience of humanity can be governed by the “I AM Presence”. The use of the “I AM Presence ” is the Highest Activity that can be given.

当你思考这一点时，你就会明白，当这个家成为“活跃的神之临在”的闪耀中心时，完成了什么。你会突然意识到这一点的巨大应用。人类生命体验中的每一件事情都可以由“我是临在”来主宰。“我是临在”的使用，是可以给予的至高活动。

When you say “I AM,” you set God into action; but there is a lot more to it which you will come to realize—when you feel and know the enormity of the use of this Expression. Realize the Enormous Power of the “I AM” to act in things of this kind. ” ‘I AM’ the God Power Almighty.” There is no other power that can act. When you say and feel this, then you liberate and loose the Full Activity of God.

当你说“我是”，你就是让神在运作；但是，当你感受并知晓对这个表达使用的规模之巨大时，还会有更多到来。意识到“我是”的巨大力量在这类事务中的运作。“‘我是’神的伟大力量。”除此之外没有其他的力量在运作。当你这么说，并感受到这一点时，你就释放了神全然的活动。

Another Statement: ” ‘I AM’ the conscious memory of these things.” Also: ” ‘I AM’ the conscious memory, use and understanding in the use of these things.”

另一句肯定句：“‘我是’这些事情有意识的记忆。”还有：“‘我是’使用这些事物时有意识的记忆、使用和理解。”

When you say: “The Presence that ‘I AM’ clothes me in my Eternal Transcendent Garment of Light,” it actually does take place that moment,

当你说：“‘我是临在’给我穿上了永恒超然的光之外衣”。实际上这就是在那一刻发生的事情。

“The Secret Place of the Most High” is this “I AM Presence”. The Sacred Things that are revealed to you are not to be cast forth, for they are as pearls. Know always: ” ‘I AM’ the perfect poise of speech and action at all times. ” Then the guard is always up, for: ” ‘I AM’ the Protecting Presence.”

“至高者的隐秘之地”就是“我是临在”。向你揭示的神圣事物不可以被丢弃，因为它们就像珍珠一样珍贵。总是知晓：“‘我是’时时刻刻言语和行动的完美姿态。”总是要保持警惕，因为“‘我是’保护性的临在。”

God’s Energy is always waiting to be directed. Inherent within the expression of the “I AM” is the Self-sustaining Activity. Then you know there is no time. This brings you to the instantaneous action, and your precipitation will soon take place. Always preceding a manifestation you will feel that absolute stillness.

神之能量总是等待着被引导。“我是”表达中内在的能量是自我维系的活动。然后你就知道了，时间其实并不存在。它给你带来即刻的运作，沉降很快就会发生。在显化出来之前，你总是会感受到那种绝对静止。

BENEDICTION: We give thanks, “O Mighty I AM Presence,” for having entered into Thy Secret Place. Let Thy Wisdom govern at all times the dispensation of Thy Light. Let Thy Wisdom guard and direct our minds and bodies at all times, that they always act in perfect accord with Thee. As Thou art called forth into action—”O Mighty I AM Presence”—we know we are always charged at all times with Thy Mighty Energy, and that It accomplishes all perfectly wherever it is sent.

祝福： “噢，伟大的我是临在” ，我们感谢进入了你那奥秘之地。让你那智慧时刻主宰着你那圣光的分配。让你那智慧时刻守护并指导我们的心智和身体，让它们总是同你处于完美的校准状态。当你被呼请着进行行动 —— “噢，伟大的我是临在” —— 我们知道我们始终被你那伟大的能量充满着，不论它被发送到哪里，它都能完美地完成一切。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

From out the centuries of activity we have arrived at the focal point where the experiences of ages come into instantaneous action, where all time and space become the “One Presence, ” God in Action now.

经过几个世纪的活动，我们已经到达了一个焦点，在那里，积累的经验进入即刻的行动中，所有的时间和空间成为了“合一临在”，也就是当下运作中的神。

Knowing that it is the Presence of God, “I AM,” that beats your heart, then you know that your heart is the Voice of God speaking; and as you come to meditate upon the Great Truth: ” ‘I AM’ the Supreme Intelligent Activity through my mind and heart, ” you will bring the True, Dependable, Divine Feeling into the heart.

知道是神之临在，“我是”，让你的心脏跳动，然后你就知道你的心是神的声音；当你去沉思这一伟大的真理：“‘我是’贯穿我心智和心灵的至高智能活动时，你就会把真实、可靠和神圣的感觉带入内心。”

So long mankind has been loving on the periphery of the circle. Once the student becomes really aware that “God is Love,” and Love’s True Activity comes through the heart, he will understand that to focus his attention on the desire to project Love forth for any given purpose is the supreme privilege of the outer activity of the consciousness—which can generate Love to a boundless degree. Mankind has not previously understood that Divine Love is a Power, a Presence, an Intelligence, a Light, that can be fanned into a Boundless Flame or Fire; and it is within the conscious intelligence of every individual, especially students of the Light, to so create and generate this “Presence of Love” that It becomes an Invincible, Exhaustless, Peace-commanding “Presence” wherever the conscious individual desires to direct It.

长久以来，人类一直爱在圆圈的边界。一旦学生真正意识到“神就是爱”，爱的真正活动来自内心，他就会明白，把他的注意力放在为了既定的目标发送爱的意愿上，是意识外在活动的最高特权 —— 它可以产生无限的爱。人类之前并不理解，神圣之爱是一种力量、一种临在、一种智能、一种光，可以被扇动燃烧成无限的火焰；是每个人内在有意识的智能，尤其是圣光的学生，创造了并产生这种“爱之临在”，不论有意识的个体想要如何去引导它，它都会成为一种无敌的、无穷尽的、命令带来和平的“临在”。

Somewhere it has been said that Love may not be commanded. I say to you: ‘‘Love is the First Principle of Life and may be generated to any degree, or without any limit whatsoever, for Infinite use.” Such is the majestic privilege of the conscious use and direction of Love.

有人说，爱是不能被命令的。我来告诉你：“爱是生命的第一法则，可以无限度地产生，没有任何限制，可供无限使用。”这就是有意识地使用和引导爱的崇高特权。

When I say “generate” I mean the opening of the door through conscious devotion to the outpouring of this exhaustless Fountain of Love, which is the Heart of your Being—the Heart of the Universe.

当我说“产生”这个词，我的意思是，通过有意识地奉献给这个取之不尽的爱之源泉来敞开大门，这是你存在的核心 —— 宇宙的核心。

Students, by contemplating this Infinite Power of Love, become such a fountain of Its outpouring that Its conscious direction may be Infinite in the student’s use.

通过对爱的无限力量的沉思，学生会成为其力量倾注的源泉，它在学生有意识引导的使用中是无穷尽的。

When My beloved students wish to hasten their liberation from certain events or outer activity, I can but say: “ ‘I AM’ the Commanding ‘ Presence’, the exhaustless energy, the Divine Wisdom causing my desire to be fulfilled’’. This will bring the quickest release from any undesirable condition that the very Law of your Being will permit. Knowing this, you may further know: “The ‘ Presence that I AM’ I now remain, untouched by disturbing outer conditions. Serene, I fold my wings and abide the Perfect Action of the Divine Law and Justice of my Being, commanding all things within my Circle to appear in Perfect Divine Order.”

当我心爱的学生们希望加速他们从特定的事情或者外在活动中解放出来时，我只能说：“‘我是’命令的‘临在’，无穷尽的能量，神圣智慧会让我的愿望得以实现。”你的存在法则会以最快的速度让你从任何不良状况中解脱出来。知晓这一点后，你就会进一步知道：我保有着“我是的临在”，不受外部任何状况的影响。在平静之中，我收起我的双翼，遵循我存在的神圣法则和正义的完美行动，命令我范围内的所有事物都处于完美的神圣秩序之中。

This is the greatest privilege of the student and should be the Command at all times. Here I shall say something that should be very encouraging, and I trust it will. Each student who is earnestly striving for the Light is being toughened as you make the toughest steel, which wears the longest, holds the best, and is the strongest. Such is what the Life of experience brings to the individual. When one craves to be released and still there appear trying experiences, it is the toughening of the steel of character and the strengthening of the individual that gives him at last the Perfect and Eternal Mastery over all outer things.

这是学生最大的特权，应该成为他时时刻刻的命令。这里我要说一些非常鼓舞的话语，我确信它会带来鼓舞。每一个认真追求生命的学生都在被磨炼，就像你们制造最坚韧的钢材那般，那些可以耐受最久的、保持最好状态的，也是最强的。这就是生命体验给个人带来的。当一个人渴望被释放，但是仍然出现那些试炼的体验时，其实是在造就钢铁般的性格和个人的强化，从而让他最终能够完美且永恒地掌控外在一切事物。

One may, with the right understanding of this, easily rejoice in the experience which is enabling him to turn to and bask in the Glorious, Wondrous “I AM Presence’’. Thus, Beloved Students, you should never grow weary of well-doing, nor meeting the experiences that sometimes seem to weigh heavily upon you; but rejoice that every step forward leads to that Eternal Goal which does not have to be repeated.

一个对此有正确理解的人，会很容易对这种体验感到开心，因为这种体验让他转向、并沐浴在荣耀神奇的“我是临在”中。因此，亲爱的学生们，你们永远不要对行善感到厌倦，也不应该对处理那些有时似乎沉重地压在你们身上的体验而感到厌倦。而是要在通往永恒目标的每一步上欢呼，终于不必再去重蹈覆辙了。

This is what me thinks the student often forgets to use: “ ‘I AM’ the strength, the courage, the power to move forward steadily through all experiences, whatever they may be, and remain joyous and uplifted, filled with peace and harmony at all times, by the Glorious Presence which ‘I AM.’

这是我认为学生们常常忘记去使用的肯定句：“‘我是’让我在所有体验中稳步前进的力量和勇气，不论这些体验是什么，我总是通过‘我是’的荣耀临在，保持着喜悦和振奋，充满和平与和谐。”

To the athlete on the race track, the beginning of the race is glorious anticipation; but as he reaches the goal and his adversary draws near, he puts forth every effort, his breath becomes short, and with one last leap, he crosses the line to victory. So it is with students on the path. They know in the use of the “I AM Presence” they cannot fail. Therefore, all that is necessary is to tighten your belt, gird yourself for whatever is required, and with a wave of the hand to your adversary, bid him farewell.

对于赛道上的运动员来说，比赛一开始是荣耀的期待；但当他接近目标，他的对手逼近时，他竭尽全力，呼吸变得急促，最后一跃，越过了终点线取得胜利。修道之路上的学生也是如此。他们知道在使用“我是临在”时，他们就不会失败。因此，你只需要勒紧你的腰带，去完成需要完成的，向你的对手挥挥手，对他告别。

More fortunate than the athlete, the student knows from the beginning that he cannot fail, because “I AM” the Exhaustless Energy and Intelligence sustaining him or her.

比运动员更幸运的是，这些学生从最开始就知道，他不会失败，因为“我是”维系着他的无穷尽的能量和智能。

The Power of Precipitation, the student should understand and remember at all times, is within the “I AM Presence’’. “I AM” here, the Life Principle and Intelligence in this body. “I AM” everywhere, even unto the Heart of God, the Governing Intelligence of the Universe, Therefore, when I wish to precipitate anything whatsoever, I know: “I AM” the Power acting; “I AM” the Intelligence directing; “I AM” the Substance being acted upon, and I now bring it into visible form and my use.

学生应该时刻理解并记住，沉降的力量就是在“我是临在”之中。“我是”这具身体中的生命法则和智能。“我是”在这里，“我是”无处不在，直至神的内心，宇宙的主宰智能。因此，当我想要让某些东西沉降出来时，我知道：“我是”运作的能量，“我是”智能的引导，“我是”被作用的材质，我现在把它带入至可见的形态，供我使用。

The contemplation of this phrase just expressed will enable the student to enter into this Activity without strain or anxiety.

对刚刚这句话的沉思会让学生毫无压力或焦虑地进入这项活动之中。

The question that so often confronts the students in the Power of Precipitation is that of money. The first question is, “How is it that money may be precipitated without interfering with the government allotment?’’ Since the creation of money as a standard of exchange, gold being its standard and heart, so to speak, and the security of all issue, it will be remembered that there have been almost a countless number of disasters in one form or another through which gold and the issue of money have been, to the outer sense, destroyed. Billions of dollars in this manner have disappeared. Therefore with any money, and it is usually gold that is precipitated, there is no danger of passing the limit set by a government for its use. Again, there have been billions of Spanish gold and denominations of other countries that have been burned, lost, submerged at sea, etc., to the extent that Precipitation would have to run into great numbers before there would be any question as to its legality. More often however, gold is precipitated in its natural state, therefore always legal in its use.

学生在使用沉降的力量时，最常面临的问题就是钱的沉降。第一个问题是，“如何在不干扰政府分配的情况下让钱沉降出来？”因为自从货币作为一种交换标准被创造出来，这么说吧，黄金就是它的标准和核心，以及所有发行货币的支撑，人们会记得，从外在意义上来说，已经发生过无数次这样或那样的灾难摧毁了黄金和发行的货币。数以亿计的美金就这样消失了。因此，对于任何货币，通常来说是沉降的黄金，都不存在超过政府为其使用设定的产生危险的界限。再就是，还有数以亿计的西班牙黄金和其他国家的货币被烧毁、丢失或者沉没在海洋中等等，所以在对其合法性提出问题之前，还可以进行大范围的沉降。不过更常见的是，黄金在自然状况下就会沉降出来，因此它的使用总是合法的。

As the world has recently offered a premium for more gold production, why not precipitate it and bless the world by its use? But I shall not hold myself responsible for the questions that will be asked when you do precipitate it, unless you have a mine from which you can supposedly have brought it forth, for you have no idea what the curiosity of the outer mind is until you call its attention to gold. I assure you, the outer is immediately set on fire. However: ” ‘I AM’ the Presence’ governing it.”

世界上最近为更多黄金的生产提供了溢价，为什么不把它沉降出来，通过使用来祝福世界呢？当你去沉降它时，我是不会让自己对那些要提出来的问题负责的，除非你沉降出一个金矿，从矿场中提取黄金，因为你不知道外在心智的好奇点在哪里，直至你让它把注意力给到黄金。我向你保证，外在心智会即刻开始提出各种问题。但是，“‘我是’临在主宰着外在心智。”

The supposed demand to know the source of gold is but a subtle form of inquiry that someone else may discover your source. My idea would be to answer their inquiry that it is none of their business. Simply say: “Here is the gold. Test it. If it is not one hundred percent, you may refuse it. If it is, you are compelled to receive it by the laws of your government.”

想要去了解黄金来源的假想要求，只是一种微妙形式的问询，那些人想知道你黄金的来源。我的想法是，如何回答他们的问题跟他们无关。只需要去说：“这是金子。请测试它，若它的纯度不是100%，你可以拒绝接受。但是如果它是的话，根据政府的律法，你必须接受它。”

You will understand, Beloved Students, that it is only in the outer activity of the physical world that you require a medium of exchange, for the moment one rises into the Power of Precipitation, he has little use for gold or money or any kind of exchange, except as incidents may require.

你必须明白，亲爱的学生们，只有在物质世界的外部活动中，你才需要一种交换的媒介，因为当一个人提升自己到沉降的力量之中，黄金、金钱或者其他形式的交换几乎没有任何用处，除非发生什么事情需要这种交换。

As one by one you come into the Ascended State, you will have many a hearty laugh over the seeming importance of these outer problems of the physical, or outer world, for they are all but the “maya,” which means but constant change. Remember, there is only one thing in the Universe that is permanent, real and Eternal. That is the “I AM Presence,” God in you, which is the Owner, the Creator, and the Intelligence governing all manifested form. Then to know that you are that “Presence,’’ that “I AM Presence’’ places you, Beloved Student, independent of all outer manifestation.

当你们一个接一个地进入扬升状态中，你们就会对物质、外部世界外在问题表面的重要性开怀大笑，因为它们都不过是“幻相”，这意味着持续地变化。请记住，宇宙中只有一件事情是永恒、真实且持久的。那就是“我是临在”，你内在的神，它是所有者、创造者，是掌管着所有显化形态的智能。然后你就知道，你就是那“临在”，亲爱的学生们，“我是临在”让你独立于所有外在的显化。

Do not misunderstand Me. I know you have to come into this Understanding sufficiently, but if you are sincere, have dauntless determination in your recognition of the “I AM Presence,” God in Action in you, you will find yourself, even to the outer sense, quickly rising into that Dominion and Independence in which you can say to all outer things, “Is it possible thou didst once disturb me?” Some of you have had an inkling of how gross and coarse all outer form seems when once you are liberated from it. To your finer, Higher Sense, it seems incredible that you could have inhabited and still are inhabiting and using a form so gross and imperfect. Had you long ago recognized, claimed, and rejoiced in the “I AM Presence” as you are doing today, these outer forms would have become so refined that you could have come back to them with very great grace. However, one has but to rejoice at every step of attainment and every step he hopes to attain, because hope becomes faith, and faith becomes Reality.

不要误解我，我知道你们必须充分地进入这种理解中，但是如果你非常真诚，有着无畏的决心去认识“我是临在”，你内在行动中的神，你就会发现自己，甚至外在的感觉，也快速地崛起，进入那种主宰和独立之中，在那里你可以对所有的外在事物说，“你有可能再像曾经一样干扰我吗？”当你从外在形态中解脱出来时，你们中的一些人已经模糊地感知到，所有的外在形态看上去是多么地粗糙。对于你更精细、高等的感官来说，你一直居住在那里，并且使用如此粗糙和不完美的形态，是一件多么不可思议的事情。若是你很久很久之前就像你今天所做的那样，去认识、宣告，并欣喜于“我是临在”，那么这些外在形态就会变得很精细，你可以带着非常优雅的姿态回到它们之中。不过，一个人必须为每一步的成就和他希望达成的每一步而喜悦，因为希望会带来信念，信念会成为现实。

Now Beloved Students, under no circumstance allow the experience of the outer to pall upon you, but in this recognition, rejoice every day, every hour, every minute that brings you nearer to the goal of Freedom and release from limitation—that Freedom you have so longed for and so much desired.

亲爱的学生们，任何情况下都不要允许外在的体验干扰到你，而要为自己处于这种认知中的每一天、每一小时、每一分都感到高兴，这会让你更加接近自由的目标，并且从限制中解脱出来 —— 这是你长久以来一直渴望的自由。

The Light is growing very bright within some of you. Continue on with that calm, dauntless determination to scale the heights, for: ” ‘I AM’ that Great Presence sustaining you, and you cannot fail.” You know the old phrase used to spur one on, and especially among soldiers, was to tell them they were cowards, and “yellow.” Now Beloved Students, I say to you: you are not cowards, but you are yellow with the Golden Light of Truth, of Dominion, of Mastery over all outer things which have bound you; and with one Mighty Surge of the ‘I AM Presence’ you break every binding chain, shatter all sense of limitation, and stand forth in your Freedom, the Glorious, Radiant, Majestic Being that you really are.

你们中一些人内在的圣光正在变得非常明亮。继续带着平静无畏的决心去攀登高峰，因为“‘我是’支撑着你的伟大临在，你不会失败。”你知道，人们用来激励他人的古老短语，尤其是在士兵之中，会叫对方胆小鬼，“黄懦夫”。现在，亲爱的学生们，我对你们说，你们不是胆小鬼，而是携带着超越所有束缚你们外在事物的真理、主宰和掌控的黄金圣光；伴随着‘我是临在’的强大脉动，你打破了每一条束缚锁链，粉碎了所有的限制感，站在你的自由中，站在你们真正的荣耀、绚烂、伟大的存在之中。

I like very much to use the Statement: “ ‘I AM’ here and ‘I AM’ there”; and if you will contemplate it, you cannot help but overcome the sense of separation.

我非常喜欢使用这个肯定句：“‘我是’在这里，‘我是’在那里。”若是你愿意思考这句话，你就会自然而然地超越分离的感觉。

The student is more or less uncertain, which always brings anxiety, and anxiety makes tension. As you come into the Higher Activity, you will become more and more relaxed.

学生或多或少地不确信感，总是会带来焦虑，而焦虑又会带来紧张。当你进入更高的活动时，你会变得越来越放松。

Always take the attitude of calm poise when anything should manifest. Always be happy and rejoice in the Presence; but there is always the balance to be maintained—it is the Middle Way. Hold yourself within this Center Poise. One can rejoice as deeply in a calm poise as he can in overexuberance. The calm poise conveys a certain something to others that they need, for every human being needs poise and the conscious realization of the necessity of calmness and poise, because it never leaves one off guard. Poise has within it a certain power of Self-control and guard which is very essential.

不论发生什么事情，都要带着冷静沉着的态度。永远在临在中感到快乐和欣喜；但是这里有一种平衡要去维持 —— 中庸之道。让自己处于中心的平衡状态。一个人可以在深沉的泰然自若中感到欣喜。一个人也可以在过度兴奋中开心。泰然自若的态度向他人传递出一种他们所需要的特定东西，因为每一个人都需要沉着，并且有意识地意识到平静和沉着的必要性，因为它永远不会让人放松警惕。泰然自若中有一定的自制力和警惕性，这是非常重要的。

You will be not only delighted but amazed at times at the marvelous things that will come with it. Use: “ ‘I AM’ the Perfect Poise which controls everything.’’ When you use the “I AM Presence’’ be sure to keep it as a permanent thing.

你不仅会开心，而且有时还会对随之而来的奇妙事物感到惊喜。使用这句：“‘我是’完美的沉着冷静，主宰着一切。”当你使用“我是临在”时，确保让它保持永久运作。

Each one try this, and if you do not feel results at first, just go on, for you certainly will as you use it more and more: ” ‘I AM’ the Presence charging this water with the Life-giving Essence which I absorb and which renews my body in Perfect Health and Eternal Youth. ” Affirm often: “ ‘I AM’ here and ‘I AM’ there, ‘I AM’ the conscious action everywhere. ’’ To discordant activities say: ” ‘I AM’ the Presence preventing this. ‘I AM’ the positive, peaceful control of this whole situation.”

每个人都使用这句，若是你们一开始感觉没有结果，继续这么做，因为当你越来越多地使用它，你肯定会感觉到确信：“‘我是’赋予这杯水以生命精华的临在，我吸收这生命精华，让我的身体焕然一新，恢复完美的健康，永葆青春。”经常去这样确认：“‘我是’在这里，‘我是’在那里，‘我是’无所不在的有意识的行动。”对于那些不和谐的活动，去说：“‘我是’阻止它发生的临在。‘我是’对整个局势积极与和平的掌控。”

In the “I AM Consciousness” is the Wisdom that knows what is required. Know always that: “ ‘I AM’ the controlling, governing Presence of this meeting or situation.’’

在“我是意识”中，存在着智慧，知道需要什么。永远要知道：“‘我是’这次会面或状况的主宰控制临在。”

There is nothing comes into physical form which is not first perfected on the Invisible, or Higher Planes.

来到物质形态中的所有一切，都要先在不可见的更高领域进行完善。

The students should not discuss this Instruction, but just rejoice in living It themselves. If they will do this, they will receive so much more from It, because there will be no conflicting vibrations to disturb them.

学生们不应该去讨论这个指令，而是要在他们身上活出它。若是他们愿意这样做，他们就会从中得到更多，因为不会有产生冲突的振动来干扰他们。

BENEDICTION: Wondrous Presence of the God “I AM”! We give praise and thanks for this feeling of the certainty of Thy Presence that is growing within the consciousness of these students under this Radiation. We rejoice in the Great Light of Thy Presence enfolding each one, which goes forth unto all humanity, changing all discord into Love and Peace. We thank Thee.

祝福：美妙的神之临在“我是”！我们给予赞美和感谢，因为在这种照耀下，学生意识中对你那临在的确定性感觉在增长。我们在你那笼罩着每个人的伟大圣光临在中感到喜悦，这圣光会普照全人类，把所有的不和谐转变为和平与爱。我们感谢你。

SAINT GERMAIN

圣哲曼

INVOCATION: From out the Great Silence, O Thou Luminous Brother! We welcome Thee and Thy Ministry unto America; and as Thou hast put forth Thy Opening Wedge this day, so shall those under this Radiation become aware of Thy Presence —O Thou Great Light that illumines all earthly minds, making them aware of the One Eternal Presence, the One Intelligence governing all the activity that “I AM,” individualized everywhere.

祈请：来自伟大寂静之中的、发出光明的兄弟！我们欢迎你，欢迎你的主宰来到美国，当你的圣光绽放时，那些在这种照耀之下的人们会意识到你那临在 —— 噢，你伟大的光芒照亮了所有尘世的心智，让他们意识到合一永恒的临在、主宰着所有活动的一种智能，就是“我是”，它个体化的表达是无所不在的。

We give praise and thanks that there is but One Intelligence governing everywhere, and the duty of the student always, no matter what the appearance, is to accept only this fact; and that he becomes a radiant channel to pour out this Truth like a gushing stream, pouring itself forth to the Great Ocean of Life. We give praise and thanks that out of the Silence has come another Presence who will bless, lift and enlighten humanity. By the Power which “I AM” and the accumulated Wisdom and Energy of the centuries, I project forth into the minds of humanity this day that Intelligent Activity which will guide them aright and control them to act accordingly.

我们赞美并感激主宰万物的这种智能，学生的责任一直都是，不论表象看起来如何，都要去认可这一事实；然后他就会成为一条光芒四射的通道，像涓涓而出的溪流一样，倾洒出这个真理，进入到生命的伟大海洋中。我们赞美并感激，从伟大的寂静之中出现了另一位临在，祝福、提升和启发全人类。通过“我是”的力量，以及几个世纪以来所积累的智慧和能量，我今天把智能活动投射进入人类的心智中，从而正确地引导并主宰他们采取相应的行动。

By the “I AM,” the “Universal I AM,” the Great One, I command this Power to act in all mankind.

I bring you Greetings from the Great Host and the Great Master Himalaya.

通过“我是”，“宇宙层面的我是”，伟大的合一，我命令这种能量在全人类中运作。我给你们带来伟大上主和伟大上师喜马拉雅的祝福。

The Master Himalaya: This is the first time that the Presence of this Luminous Brother has been brought to the knowledge of the outer world. It is He from whom the Himalayan Mountains receive their name. Thus, ever since these have been raised into prominence, have they been a Sacred, Unchanging Stream of Life—held unwaveringly. Hence those souls who came within their embrace were caught up and lifted into that Luminous Radiant Form—where They have long sent forth Their Rays of activity to heal and bless mankind.

上师喜马拉雅：这是第一次，这位散发光明兄弟的临在被带入到外在世界的认知中。喜马拉雅山脉就是以他的名字命名的。因此，自从这些得到重视以来，他就成为了神圣不变的生命之流 —— 坚定不移地保持着。因此，那些进入他怀抱的灵魂会被拥抱着提升进入闪耀灿烂的形态中 —— 在那里，他用长久以来一直散发着的活跃圣光来疗愈和祝福人类。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

As the destiny of India and America are entwined as two vines encircling the “Tree of Life,” so again this day has the Radiant Help come forth to try and blend in harmony the minds of America, that its progress proceed unhampered and uninterrupted.

随着印度和美国的命运像两根缠绕着“生命之树”的藤蔓一样交织在一起，因此这一天，光明的帮助再次出现，努力让美国的心智变得和谐，让它的进步不受阻碍，且不间断地进行着。

Today there are in America thousands who have been reborn from India, and there are being reborn in India thousands from America—each to bring its interblending, balancing process required in both sections of the earth.

今天，有成千上万印度人转世到美国，又有成千上万的美国人转世到印度 —— 每个人都带来地球上这两个地区所需的互相融合和平衡的过程。

This Great Being who has been introduced to you, has after many centuries in the “Great Silence” again stepped forth to exert that conscious blending process of Spirit and manifestation; to hold forth the Chalice, that Its Heart may be filled with the Liquid Fire of Spirit, pouring forth into the hearts of mankind, creating that fullness of desire within them for greater and greater Light—looking to and depending upon the One Great Source of Light, “I AM,” God in Action everywhere.

这位已经介绍给你们的伟大存有，在许多世纪过后，从“伟大的寂静”之中再次站出来，来表达灵性和物质层面有意识的融合过程，举起圣杯，让它的内心充满圣灵的液态之火，倾洒到人类的心中，在他们内在创造出对越来越强大的圣光的全然渴望 —— 让他们看向并依赖合一的伟大圣光源泉，“我是”无所不在的神之行动。

The entrance of this Great Presence again into the activity of mankind will spread like a thread of Light through all the activity of America and expand Its Luminous Presence like a Mantle of softly falling Golden Snow. It will be absorbed by the minds of humanity, the majority being entirely unaware, although there will be some who will sense the Inner Penetrating Presence.

这位伟大临在再次进入到人类的活动中，把光芒倾洒到美国的所有活动中，像轻柔飘落的金色雪花一样拓展它发光的临在。它会被人类的心智所吸收，尽管有些人会觉察到内在临在的渗透活动，不过大多数存有对此是毫无觉知的。

If those under this Radiation continue in their present harmonious, beautiful progress, it will be possible shortly to bring to their attention certain activities of the nerve fluid which will hasten their Mastery over the outer form. It means the Mastery over all conditions that seem to bind or limit.

在这种照耀下的存有若是继续他们当前和谐而美丽的进步，那么很快，他们就会注意到神经系统中的某些活动，这会加速他们对外在形态的掌控。这意味着掌控所有看似约束或限制的条件。

I shall be surprised if your students do not feel the strength, if they do not feel the Presence of this Great Being today. Even as I speak, His Rays go out to them, touching the heart of each one, and I feel their thrill of Joy, they not knowing just what it means.

若是学生们今天没有感受到力量，没有感受到这位存有的临在，我会很吃惊。就在我讲话的时候，他的光芒倾洒向学生，触碰着每个人的内心，我感受到人们的欣喜，虽然他们还不知道这意味着什么。

Watch carefully, each of you and your students, to be on guard to reverse all negative conditions that appear to the senses. On the lesser things for practice, if the senses report you cold, reverse your consciousness and assert your warmth. If the senses report too much heat, reverse it with a sense of perfect, normal coolness. If the senses report to you ecstatic joy over certain enlightenment, say: “Peace, be still” and assert your calm poise and assurance. The ideal in all sense reports is to move in the middle way, the balance always asserting the Calm Mastery of control which “I AM.”

你们每个人和你们学生都要仔细观察，处于警惕状态，扭转感官上呈现出的所有负面状况。在小的事情上践行，若是感官报告寒冷，扭转你的意识，去宣告温暖；若是感官报告太热，就用完美、合适的凉爽去扭转你的意识。若是感官向你呈现出，因某种启发感到的欣喜若狂，那么请说：“安静，静下来。”保持你的平静和泰然自若。在呈现出的所有感官状况中，最佳状态就是中庸之道，保持平衡，始终去宣告，“我是”沉着冷静的主宰。

This will enable the establishing of a steady, flowing stream of creative ideas and energy from the Heart of the Great Central Sun—from out which has come this Great Being, the Master Himalaya. This will enable you to receive and use immensely more of that Radiant Energy which He pours forth. The reason for drawing your conscious attention to Him has been that if you understand what it means, you may receive without limit from His Energy, besides what you draw forth by your own conscious effort.

这样做会让来自伟大中央太阳核心的创造性想法和能量建立起稳固持续的流动 —— 也是从这里诞生出这位伟大的存有，喜马拉雅上师。这样做会让你能够更多地接收和使用他倾洒出的闪耀能量。把你有意识的注意力导向他，是因为若是你理解这意味着什么：你除了可以通过自己有意识的努力来汲取能量外，还可以从他倾洒的能量中无限接收。

The students must at all times understand that the Masters do not come to them of the students’ choice, but that they have been chosen to receive the Radiance, a privilege for which words are entirely inadequate to convey the true meaning that can truly only be felt or visioned. Again they should understand that the Master’s province is not to assume their responsibility by solving their problems for them, but to convey intelligent understanding which they may apply in their own lives to solve their own problems. Thus they gain the needed strength, courage and confidence to continue to reach up step by step, gaining their own Conscious Mastery over the outer self and the outer world.

学生们必须时时刻刻理解，大师们并不是根据学生的选择找到他们，而是这些学生被他们选中，来接收圣光的照耀，这是一种特权，它的真实含义难以用语言来表达完全，只能被感受或者感知到。再次，他们应该明白，大师的职责并不是通过为他们解决问题来为他们承担责任，而是向他们传达智慧的理解，从而让他们应用在自己的生活中解决自己的问题。这样他们就会获得所需要的力量、勇气和信心，继续一步步地向上走，为自己收获对外在自我和外在世界的有意识掌控。

Always at certain points of growth (expansion), We hear students call out, many times with great sincerity: “Great Masters, help us to solve our problems. For encouragement and strength, I wish to say that far more than one has any concept, is the Radiating Presence of the Master pouring out Strength, Courage, Confidence, and Light—which in most instances the students are quite unaware of in the outer sense consciousness. There is only one way in which anyone with wisdom can be of permanent help, and that is to consciously instruct his brother or sister in the simple laws by which one may wield the scepter, gain the victory, and attain to Full Dominion over the outer self and his world.

在成长过程（拓展）中的某个点，我们经常听到学生多次真诚地呼请：“伟大的导师，请帮助我们解决我们的问题。”我想说的远远超越个人的理解，因为鼓舞和力量是由扬升大师照耀的临在倾洒出的力量、勇气、信心和圣光 —— 在大多数情况下，学生外在的意识不能对这些产生觉知。只有一种方法可以让有智慧的人获得永久性的帮助，那就是使用这些简单的法则来有意识地指导他们的兄弟姐妹，这样他们就可以举起权杖，获得胜利，并获得对外部的自己和外在世界的完全掌控。

To do the thing that the student requires in solving his problems would not only retard his progress, but weaken him immensely. Only by asserting one’s conscious strength, winning victories—and thereby attaining confidence which comes in no other way— does the student enter into the fullness of his own powers. With the powerful, masterful use of the Consciousness of the “I AM Presence the student goes forward with absolutely no uncertainty to his goal of Victory.

（扬升大师）若是去完成学生解决问题时需要做的事情，这样不仅会阻碍学生的进步，而且会极大地削弱他的成长。只有坚持通过自己有意识的力量去获得胜利 —— 才能获得使用其他方式不能获得的自信 —— 学生才能充分把自己的力量发挥出来。通过对“我是临在”意识强大而又熟练的掌握，学生才能确定地朝胜利的目标前进。

The reason We have not and do not say more to the student concerning the Assistance that We may be giving is to prevent his leaning upon an outside source. To say or do that which would cause the student to lean upon Us because he knows of our Presence would be the greatest mistake We could make; but the student need never fear, and he should know that every Assistance possible is always given, according to the point of attainment he has reached.

我们之所以没有、也不会对学生说更多有关我们给他们提供的帮助，是为了防止学生依赖外在资源。去说或做会导致学生因为知道我们的存在而依赖我们，这会成为我们犯下的最大错误；但是学生无须恐惧，他应该知道的是，根据他当前成长的状况，总会提供给他每一个可以被给予的帮助。

The “I AM Presence the Host of Ascended Masters, the Ascended Jesus Christ, are one and the same thing. Through the recognition and use of the “I AM Presence, ” I tell you, you can positively bring forth any quality you wish into the outer conscious manifestation—if you will but do it.

“我是临在”，扬升存有和扬升大师的本质是一样的。通过认可并且使用“我是临在”，我来告诉你，你可以积极地把你任何想要的品质显化在外在的意识中 —— 如果你想要这么做的话。

The need of everyone is to keep reminding the outer consciousness that when one says: ” ‘I AM’ this or ‘I AM’ that he is setting God in Action, which is his Life individualized, the Life of the Universe, the Energy of the Universe, the Intelligence at the Heart of the Universe governing all. It is necessary, it is vital, to keep the outer reminded of this fact. With this consciousness, the joyous enthusiasm of the student should increase continuously. There should at no time be a pall in the joy of its use, because it is positively the road to Full Mastery.

当一个人说：“‘我是’这个，或者‘我是’那个时，”每个人都需要不断地提醒外在意识，他是在让神的能量行动起来，这是神的能量在个体的表达，这是宇宙的生命、宇宙的能量、宇宙核心掌管一切的智能。提醒外在意识认识到这个事实，是必要且至关重要的。有了这种意识，学生欢快的热情就会不断增加。学生在任何时候都不应该对丧失使用这种能量的乐趣，因为它的确是通向完全通达的道路。

The student must become firmly aware that he or she is the Conscious Controlling Power in his Life, in his world, and that he can fill it with any quality that is needed or that he may choose.

学生们必须坚定地意识到，他是自己生命、自己世界中有意识的控制力量，出于他的需要或者选择时，他可以让自己的生命和世界充满任何特定品质。

The students who have intermittent physical disturbance in the body should take the consciousness often: ” ‘I AM’ the perfectly controlled breath of my body,” and should, in connection with this, feel themselves, as often as they can, breathing in that rhythmic breath. This will bring about a certain balance of breathing which is immensely helpful in the control of the thought.

如果身体在物质层面经历时不时的扰乱，学生则应该经常保持这样的意识：“‘我是’自己身体的处于完美掌控之中的呼吸。”与此同时，也应该尽可能地去感受，自己处于有节奏地呼吸之中。这会带来一定程度的呼吸平衡，而呼吸的平衡对思想的控制非常有帮助。

Sincere students should whenever possible avoid listening to things that are disturbing, for in doing this they often let in unknowingly, elements they do not desire. Where they cannot with discretion avoid listening to things of this kind, they should use the following: ” ‘I AM’ the Presence on guard here and consume instantly everything that seeks to disturb.” Thus you will not only protect yourself, but help the other person as well. While the student should at no time fear anything, it certainly is necessary to keep up the conscious guard until he has attained sufficient Mastery to control his thought, feeling and receptivity.

诚恳的学生应该尽可能避免去倾听那些令人不安的东西，因为这样做会在不知不觉中让那些他们不喜欢的元素进入他们能量场。如果他们无法谨慎地避免听到这类事情，他们应该使用以下喻令：“‘我是’守卫的临在，并即刻转化一切试图干扰的因素。”这样，你不仅可以保护自己，也帮助到他人。虽然学生在任何时候都不应该害怕任何事情，但是绝对有必要保持有意识地警觉，直至他获得足够的通达，来掌控他的思想、感觉和接收力。

From the Golden City comes this limitless charge of energy for the Blessing of the students of this Radiation, as well as those of mankind who are looking to the Light.

从黄金之城到来的这种无限的能量，给沐浴在这圣光之下的学生，以及那些寻求圣光的人类，带来祝福。

Try to keep as much as possible in the joyous enthusiasm of the “I AM Presence”. Give It all power, and do not hold any questioning in the mind. Throw everything to the winds; give everything to that “Glorious I AM Presence” and receive Its Magic Revelation. It is the Mighty, Miracle-Working Presence that can and does solve all things, not only problems, but questions whose answers need revealing. A remarkable Statement that would be enormously helpful to the students would be to say: “ ‘I AM’ the Miracle-Working Presence in everything I require to have done.”

尝试尽可能保持“我是临在”的喜悦之情。给予它全部的力量，不要在心智中留有任何疑问。把一切都抛到九霄云外，把一切都给予“荣耀的我是临在”，并接收它神奇的揭示。这伟大神奇的运作着的临在，可以而且能够解决所有的事情，不仅仅可以解决问题，还给那些需要揭示的问题带来解答。一个对学生有极大帮助的非凡声明就是去说：“‘我是’我需要完成一切的神奇运作临在。”

For students to keep meditating and contemplating what it means to say “I” or “I AM” brings results, revelations and blessings that cannot be overestimated. I am sure your students will soon begin to show and feel the remarkable activity of this use. Today I feel the Presence of the understanding and use of this much more powerfully than at any time hitherto.

对于学生来说，要持续地去沉思，说出“我”，或者“我是”，意味着什么，这会带来不可估量的结果、揭示和祝福。我相信你们学生很快就开始明白，并且去感受到在使用中带来的非凡活动。今天，对临在的理解和使用而言，比以往任何时候的感受都更加强烈。

On the Higher Planes there is a constant meeting and exchange of help while the bodies are asleep, far beyond anything the outer self is conscious of.

当身体处于睡眠状态中，在更高的层面会进行会面并交换帮助，这远远超出了外在自我的意识范围。

Knowing that: ” ‘I AM’ the quality of whatever I wish to use”, then you know you can produce in visible, tangible form whatever you have within the consciousness. The moment the questioning of the outer mind can be put under control and made to subside, the greatest revelations pour forth, almost tumbling over each other.

知晓这一点：“‘我是’任何我想要使用的品质。”然后你就知道，不论你意识中有什么，你都可以把它们带入到可见、有形的形态中。一旦外在心智的疑问声得到控制并平息下来，最伟大的揭示就会倾泻而出，几乎是一个接一个翻滚而来。

Owing to the need, the Master Himalaya chose to come forth. He brings a special blending of America and India, and that is why it is possible for Him to come here. As the Inner Presence comes into action, all outer activity subsides. It must necessarily, because it obeys the “I AM Presence”.

出于需要，喜马拉雅上师出现。他带来了美国和印度的特殊融合，这就是为什么他可以来到这里的原因。随着内在的临在进入行动，所有外在的活动都会平息。这一定会发生，因为它服从“我是临在”。

The Golden Snow is what the Great Presence spreads over America —to be absorbed by individuals and the very particles of the atmosphere itself. This will enable the students especially to be greatly assisted and blest, because they have become the focus for this Outpouring.

金黄的雪花是伟大临在在美国上方的倾洒 —— 被个体和大气的颗粒所吸收。这尤其会让学生们得到巨大的帮助和祝福，因为他们成为了这次倾洒的聚焦点。

It may be well for the students to understand that in national requirements, as in individuals, there are qualities needed for certain definite purposes at certain times. That is the reason for Special Great Beings coming forth, these Individuals having predominant the quality that the nation needs at a given moment. The students who can take this Understanding with great sincerity will find a New Element entering into their lives which will benefit them greatly.

学生们最好去理解，对国家的一些要求，就像对个体的一样，在某些特定的时间需要具备某些特定的品质。这就是特殊的伟大存有来到这里的原因，那些存有具有某个国家在特定时刻所需要的主导品质。可以理解这一点的学生，带着巨大的真诚，会发现一种新的元素进入到他们的生命中，会让他们受益匪浅。

The activity of expectation is quite a vital one in receiving from the Inner Presence. It is a faculty that can be used with a great deal of benefit by the student who cultivates it. For instance, if we have planned something from which we expect great joy, we feel all buoyed up with expectancy. We can acquire and use this same expectancy in elements we wish to acquire and use, for it is very helpful in enabling them to come forth. If one calls on the phone and you are to meet that one in the city, you expect to meet him. If you desire to meet the Masters, one requirement is to expect to meet Them. That is very helpful. Why not expect to meet Them now?

对于接收内在临在来说，期待活动是非常重要的。这是一种能力，学生对这种能力加以培养，可以受益匪浅。比如，我们计划了一些事情，从中我们期待着收获巨大的喜悦，我们就会感觉充满期待。我们可以在自己想要获得和使用的元素中收获并使用同样的期待，因为这对事情的实现很有帮助。若是一个人打电话告诉你，你要在城里见到他，你就会期待见到他。若是你想要见到上师，一个要求就是要期待见到他们。这会很有帮助。为什么不从现在起就开始期待呢？

People have become so abnormal in their habits that naturally they have interfered with their breathing as well as other things. To use the Statement: ”‘I AM’ the balancing-breath” will do a great deal more for them than the use of many breath exercises without the aid of an Ascended Master. The coming amazing Activity will be done by the use of the ‘‘I AM Presence,’’ because with Its use, anything can be accomplished. Take the consciousness often: “‘I AM’ the balancing-breath. ” This sets in motion the Inner Activity that maintains the outer Perfection. In whatever you do, always take the “I AM Consciousness” and then you immediately set It into motion.

人们经由他们的习惯发展出一些不正常的行为，这会自然而然地影响到他们的呼吸，以及其他的事情。去使用这句肯定句：“‘我是’均衡的呼吸。”这会比使用很多呼吸技巧带来的帮助大的多，尤其是在没有扬升大师帮助的情况下。通过使用“我是临在”，会完成很多神奇的活动，因为通过使用它，任何事情都可以完成。经常去保持这样的意识状态：“‘我是’均衡的呼吸。”这会启动内在的活动，从而维持外在的完美。不论你做什么，总是带着“我是意识”，然后你就会即刻让它进入运作之中。

Take the attitude of calm certainty in your mind, and keep on keeping on.

保持内心平静和确信的态度，继续坚持下去。

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty Presence whom We in great joy have welcomed, We thank Thee for Thy Great Wondrous Radiance and Light, Thy Great Radiance and Conquering Power; and We trust that Thou mayest decree Justice now and for all time to mankind.

祝福：我们以极大的喜悦欢迎你那伟大的临在，我们感谢你那伟大神奇的照耀和圣光，以及你那伟大的照耀和征服的力量；我们相信你可以为人类带来正义，从现在起，直至永远。

THE DISCOURSE

开示

The seeming mysteries of Life with their attendant experiences are, when rightly understood, blessings in disguise; for any experience that causes us to turn more firmly to the One Active Presence, “I AM,” God in Action, has served us a wonderful purpose and blessing.

那些看似生命的奥秘以及伴随着的体验，若是正确地理解，其实是因祸得福；因为所有那些让我们更加坚定地转向合一活跃的临在、“我是”、运作中的神的体验，都服务于我们以美妙的目的和祝福。

The unfortunate situation in which personalities find themselves exists because they are constantly looking to outside sources for Sustenance, directing Intelligence, and for the Love that is the Supreme Presence and Power of the Universe.

人格之所以会发现自己存在于不幸的状况中，是因为他们不断地看向外在的资源，来寻找维系、寻找智能、找寻象征宇宙至高的临在和力量的爱。

It matters not what the conditions are that we face, at no time must we lose track of or allow ourselves to be drawn from the Great Truth that: “Love is the Hub of the Universe upon which everything revolves. “This does not mean that we shall love inharmony, discord, or anything unlike the Christ, but instead we can love God in Action, the “I AM Presence” everywhere present; for the opposite of hate is Love, and one cannot hate in any sense without having loved deeply. The Admonition that Jesus gave was truly this idea.

不论我们面对的状况是什么，我们在任何时候都不能忘记、也不能让自己偏离伟大的真理：“爱是宇宙的中心，万物围绕着它旋转。”这并不意味着我们要去爱不和谐、混乱、或者任何不与基督校准的事物，相反地，我们去爱运作中的神，也就是无所不在的“我是临在”；因为爱的对立面是仇恨，若是没有深深爱过，就不可能存在任何意义上的恨。耶稣的劝告正是这个意思。

Each human being is a power, and is intended to be the governing principle of his Life and world. In the recognition that within each human being is the “I AM Presence of God” ever acting, then everyone knows that he holds within his outer hands the Scepter of Dominion, and should use his conscious determination in knowing that the Invincible Presence of God is, every moment, the Intelligent Activity in his world and affairs. This keeps the attention from becoming fixed on the outer appearance, which is never the Truth unless illumined by the “I AM Presence. “

每一个人都是一种力量，旨在成为他生命和世界的主宰法则。意识到每个人的内心深处，都是不断运作着的“我是神之临在”，然后每个人就会知道，在他外在双手中有着统治权杖，并且应该有意识地去下定决心，知晓在每时每刻，神之不可战胜的临在都是他世界和事务之中的智能活动。这样可以阻止他把注意力固定在外在的表象上，外在的表象永远不会是真理的表达，直至被“我是临在”照亮。

No matter what the problem is to be solved in the individual’s Life, there is only One Power, Presence and Intelligence that can solve it, and that is the individual’s recognition of the All-powerful Presence of God—with whom no outer activity may interfere— unless the individual’s attention is knowingly or unknowingly drawn from his central recognition and acceptance of the Supreme God Power.

不论一个人生命当中有什么问题要解决，只有一种力量、临在和智能可以解决它，那就是一个人对神之全能临在的认可 —— 任何外在活动都不能干扰他 —— 除非这个人的注意力有意或者无意地从他对至高无上的神之力量的认可和接受中转移出来。

The Principle of Life, always active, is ever striving to pour Itself forth into expression, thereby producing Its Natural Perfection; but human beings, having free will, consciously or unconsciously qualify It with all kinds of distortion. The individual who stands with his attention fixed firmly on the “I AM Presence” on God and with God, becomes an Invincible Power with which no outer manifestation of mankind can interfere.

一直活跃着的生命法则，总是努力地把自己倾注到表达中，从而产生它自然的完美；但是人类拥有自由意志，会有意识或者无意识地，用各种扭曲的特质来限定它。把注意力牢牢地放在“我是临在”、放在自己内在的神之上，与神同行的人，会成为一种不可战胜的力量，任何人类外在的表达都无法进行干扰。

In the recognition of: ” ‘I AM’ here and ‘I AM’ there,” friends wherever needful will be raised up to one’s assistance, for: ” ‘I AM’ the friends brought forward whenever and wherever it is necessary”. The release from all outer dominion or interference can only come through this recognition of the “I AM Presence,” God in Action in the individual’s Life and world. Many times this requires strong determination to hold unwaveringly in this Presence when appearances seem to be dominating. However, such is never really the case.

意识到：“‘我是’在这里，‘我是’在那里”，一个人若是需要帮助就会有朋友前来提供帮助。因为：“我是”不论何时何地在有需要时就会带来帮助的朋友。摆脱所有外在主宰或干扰，只能通过这种对“我是临在”的认可发生，“我是临在”是个人生命和世界中运作的神。很多时候，当表象似乎占据主导地位时，更加需要以坚定不移的决心保持在这个临在之中。然而，实际情况中很多人做不到。

The old saying, “An individual is never licked until he gives up,” is quite true, for as long as an individual looks with full determination to God in himself as the Governing Intelligence, there is no human activity that can long interfere. The Mighty Outpouring of Light flowing about each individual— through the activity of the vision, and knowing of Its Presence—can be made as invincible as a wall of steel about one, in fact more so.

古语云：“除非一个人选择放弃，否则他永远不会被打败。”这是千真万确的，因为只要一个人全心全意地看向自己内在的神之临在，并把它作为主宰的智能，那么人类的活动不可能长期干扰到他。通过观想，通过知晓神之临在，每个人周围流淌的圣光能量流可以让一个人周围像铜墙般无敌，事实上会更加坚固。

Ever down through the centuries have the majority of mankind given their attention to the outer appearances, thereby inviting all kinds of discord and distress; but today there are thousands who are coming to understand the God Presence within themselves as Absolutely Invincible, to the extent that they are steadily being raised above the injustice, discord and inharmony of the outer creation.

几个世纪以来，大多数人类都把注意力放在外在表象上，从而招致了各种不和谐和痛苦，但是今天，有成千上万的人开始逐渐意识到，他们内在的神是绝对无敌的，他们的意识已经可以提升他们稳固地超越外在创造的不公正、混乱和不和谐。

Until mankind or individuals hold their attention on the “I AM Presence” God within, long enough and with sufficient determination, they will find themselves surrounded by the undesirable; but through this “I AM Presence” each one has the power to raise himself above the discord and disturbance of the outer creation.

除非人类或个体把他们的注意力放在内在的神、“我是临在”上足够长的时间，并且以足够坚定的决心这么去做，否则他们会发现自己被不喜欢的事物所包围着；但是通过这“我是临在”，每个人都有力量提升自己超越外在创造的不和谐和扰乱。

At first it does take determination to hold fast when the seeming storm clouds hang low and the outer appearance seems overwhelming; but with a dynamic conscious attitude and the attention fixed upon the Presence of God within, it is like the lightning flashing forth from within the storm clouds, penetrating and dissolving the storm that seems so threatening.

最初，当暴风云看似低垂，外在的状况看起来似乎难以承受时，你需要毅力坚持下来；但是，随着把注意力一直放在内在的神之临在上，并且与其建立了有意识的动态互动之后，神之临在就像是从暴风云中发出的闪电，穿透并且消融了看似具有威胁性的风暴。

As one advances, he finds himself becoming more and more Invincible to this outer creation of mankind which brings such great distress.

随着一个人的进步，他会发现自己对那些带来巨大压力的人类外在创造变得越来越无敌。

The Statement of Jesus: “Know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free,” was perhaps one of the simplest and greatest Truths to ever be uttered; for the first fundamental of knowing this Great Truth to which he referred was to know that you have within you this Invincible Presence of God. If you know that and are certain of It within your own consciousness—I mean by that, standing with firm determination in the face of everything—then you know you do have that Presence within.

耶稣的声明：“认识真理，真理会让你自由。”这也许是有史以来最简单最伟大的真理之一，因为他提到，了解这个伟大真理的首要根基，就是知晓你内在有着这位不可战胜的神之临在。若是你在自己的意识中知晓并且确定这位临在 —— 我的意思是，以坚定的决心用它来面对一切事物 —— 那么你就会知道，你内在的确存在着这位临在。

Your next step is to take your stand: ” ‘I AM’ the Illumining, Revealing Presence, and no outer activity that I need to know can be withheld from me, because ‘I AM’ the Wisdom, ‘I AM’ the Perception, ‘I AM’ the Revealing Power bringing everything before me— that I may see and understand, and be able to act accordingly.”

你的下一步就是要采取这样的立场：“‘我是’启发性的、揭示性的临在，外在活动不能阻止我需要知晓的，因为‘我是’智慧，‘我是’感知，‘我是’把一切带到我面前的揭示力量 —— 从而让我知晓和理解，并采取相应的行动。”

It is so easy, when you once understand that: “‘I AM’ the Only Intelligence and Presence acting” to see how you have the Scepter within your own hands, and through this “I AM Presence” you can compel everything you need to know to be revealed to you. I assure you, this is not in any way interfering with the free will of any other individual.

当你一旦理解了“‘我是’唯一运作的智能和临在”，你就会很容易明白，你手中拥有着权杖，通过这“我是临在”，你可以让你需要知晓的一切揭示给你。我向你保证，它不会以任何方式干扰到其他人的自由意志。

It is time that the Children of God who are looking to the Light awaken to this Dominion. I assure you, it is no wrong nor mistake to claim and demand your own. In doing this you are not in any way interfering with any other individual.

现在是时候让那些看向圣光的神之子觉醒到这种主宰之中了。我向你保证，主张和要求自己的权利并没有错，这也不是一种过错。当你这么做时，你不会以任何方式干扰到其他人。

If at any time there are those who through their outer activity attempt to take from you that which belongs to you, then it is your right to command through the “I AM Presence” that the whole condition be adjusted and your own brought to you. In this we must be very careful that when we have set the Divine Law into motion and Divine Justice begins to take place that we do not become over-sympathetic and thereby interrupt the action of the Law.

若是有的时候，有些人想要通过他们的外在活动，从你这里夺走属于你的东西，那么你就有权利，通过“我是临在”进行命令，来调整整个状况，把属于你的东西带给你。在这么做时，我们必须要非常小心，当我们让神圣法则开始运作，让神圣正义开始发生时，我们不要让自己的同情心泛滥，从而中断法则的运作。

When human beings are governed entirely by the outer self, and when they have no consideration for the Power of God which gives them Life, they are easily led to commit any kind of injustice; but does that mean in any sense that you shall allow them to do it in your world? Not when you know that you have the Mighty Power of God within to command and demand right and justice from everywhere.

当人类完全受外在自我支配，并且毫不考虑给予他们生命的神之力量时，他们很容易被引导着去犯下不公正行为的错误；但是这是否意味着你会允许他们在你的世界中这么做？当你知道你内在拥有着神的伟大力量来命令和要求正义在世界各个角落运作时，这种情况就不会发生。

I want to cite you an instance: One of my students was going through a very trying experience, and the nature being very spiritual, I told her to demand right and justice. She did as advised, and presently things began to happen to those who wished to do her injustice. Through kindness of heart she began to relent and wish that she had not demanded justice. She came to Me and said, “What am I to do?” I said with no uncertainty, “Stand by the decree that you have issued. You are not responsible for the lessons these individuals have to learn who have wronged you, so let them get their lessons and be undisturbed.”

我想给大家举一个例子：我的一位学生曾经历着一个非常艰难的经历，这段经历的本性非常灵性化的，我告诉她去要求权利和正义。她按照建议做了，不久过后，那些想不公正地对待她的人就开始遭遇不幸。出于内心的善意，她开始心软了，她开始希望她没有去做出正义的要求。她找到我问，“我该怎么办？”我毫不犹豫地说：“去坚守你颁布的喻令。你不需要为那些冤枉你的人们所吸取的教训负责，所以让他们去吸取他们的教训，不要干扰这个过程。”

When individuals start to do wrong, that moment they set in motion the Great Universal, or Cosmic Law of retribution, and they can no more avoid retribution striking them sometime, somewhere, than they can stop the action of the planets. To the innocent victim, retribution sometimes seems a long time coming, but the longer its arrival is delayed, the more powerful it acts when it does arrive. There is no human being in existence that can avoid this Law.

当个人开始做错事，那一刻起他就启动了伟大的宇宙法则，也就是宇宙报应法则，他们无法避免报应会在某个时间某个地点袭击他们，就像他们无法阻止行星的运行一样。对于那些无辜的受害者，报应的到来有时看上去非常漫长，但是它到来的时间越晚，它真正到来时威力就越强。世界上没有任何一个人可以逃避这条法则的运作。

Many times students and individuals have thought that something could be imposed upon them. Such, I assure you, is not the case. The only way one can open himself to undesirable thought is by entering into condemnation and hate. If he has done this, he has generated the thing in which he believed. The student who knows the Power of God within himself need never fear anything from anyone. The individual may, if he or she choose, experience the Fullness of the Activity of God in his Life and world. It is simply a matter of choosing what you shall have. If you want peace and harmony, know: ‘‘ ‘I AM’ the Power producing it.” If you want adjustment in your affairs and world, know: ‘‘’I AM’ the Mighty Intelligence and Power producing it, and no outer activity can interfere with it.”

很多时候，学生和个人都认为，有些东西可以强加给他们。我向你们保证，事情并非如此。一个人让自己对负面想法敞开的唯一方法，就是陷入谴责和仇恨之中。若是他这么做了，他就创造了自己所相信的事物。知晓自己内在神之力量的学生永远不需要害怕来自任何人的任何事情。如果这个人愿意，通过他有意识的选择，他可以体验到神在他生命和世界中全然的活动。这仅仅是一个去选择你想要什么的问题。如果你想要体验和平与和谐，去知晓：“‘我是’产生它的力量。”如果你想要你的世界和事务做出调整，去知晓：“‘我是’产生它的伟大智能和力量，没有任何外部的活动可以干扰它。”

From out the seeming mystery of Life’s ceaseless activity there is the Illumining Presence of the “Mighty I AM Within” that stands ever ready to bless you with untold, inconceivable Blessings—if you only let It. How do you let It? By the joyous acceptance of the Mighty Presence, that you have this Mighty Power within you; and then do not hesitate in every detail of your activity, no matter how small it seems, to call It into action; for there is no energy in the Universe but God to act through your consciousness, your mind, your body, your world.

在看似神秘的生命永不停息的活动中，存在着“内在伟大我是”的照耀临在，它一直屹立在那里，随时准备着用数不尽的、不可思议的祝福来保佑你 —— 只要你让它这么做。你如何让它这样做？通过在喜悦中接受伟大的临在，你内在就有了这种伟大的力量；然后，不要在你活动的每个细节上犹豫不决，不论它看上去多么微不足道，都要呼请临在进入运作之中；因为除了神的力量，没有其他能量可以通过你的意识、你的心智、你的身体和你的世界进行运作。

Say often: “I AM the Presence” in everything you wish to have done. This opens the way for the Power of God to act and bring you justice. Have no sympathy for the outer that in its ignorance does the wrong thing, whether in yourself or someone else.

经常去说：“‘我是临在’存在于每一件我想要完成的事情中。”这会为神的力量进行运作开辟道路，并给你带来正义。不要去同情因无知而做错事情的外在，不论是对你自己还是他人。

Keep calm and serene, knowing: “God is the only Intelligence and Power acting in your world and affairs”. “I AM” in you is the Self-sustaining strength and healing, manifesting in your mind and body. This keeps you in greater attunement. Face God! And the Energy always surges forth to command every situation. Individuals who understand this Law are not subject to injustice and the conditions which the outer selves of other beings try to impose upon them.

保持冷静和沉着，知晓：“神是在你的世界和事务之中运作的唯一智能和力量。”你内在的“我是”是自我维系的勇气和疗愈力量，表达在你的心智和身体中。这会让你处于更伟大的校准状态。去面对神！能量总是会涌出来指导每一种状况。理解这条法则的人不会受到不公正的对待，也不会遭受其他存有的外在自我试图施加给他们的那些状况。

Keep the outer reminded of this often. Be sure always within yourselves that there is only the Presence and Power of God acting in you and your affairs. Keep using the statement at all times that: “There is nothing hidden that is not revealed to me.” This is always necessary. However, no matter what individuals want to do, your safeguard is always to pour out the Love of God to them.

经常提醒外在自我这一点。确保在你意识中知晓：在你的世界和你的事务中运作的只有神的临在和力量。一直使用以下这句声明：“没有什么事情是隐藏于我、不揭示给我的。”这么做很有必要。但是，不论其他个人想要做什么，你的保障在于，总是向他们倾洒神之爱。

When individuals try to enjoy something through injustice, without question, they never enjoy it, for they always lose some faculty by which they could enjoy it.

当个体试图通过不公义手段来享受一些事物时，毫无疑问，他们不会真正地去享受，因为他们总是会丢失一些可以让他们真正去享受的能力。

Other personalities always have the same privilege to stand with God that you do, and if they do not choose, that is not your business.

其他的人格也总是有着跟你一样的、与神站在一起的特权，但是若他们不这样选择，那与你无关。

God is the All-knowing Presence and Power, knows and discovers all things. You may say for another:

神是全知的临在和力量，知晓并觉察万物。你可以为他人这样说：

“Mighty Master Self, the ‘I AM Presence’ within this individual, come forth in Thy Conscious Power, with Thy Mighty Insight and Foresight, with Thy Wisdom and Directing Intelligence; and see that all things are adjusted for her, and that she is given the peace and rest she so much deserves. ‘I AM’ the Commanding Presence directing and commanding this to be done, and it is done now. Lift the consciousness into the Full Dazzling Light, where she may see and know the repose, rest and beauty that is hers by her own creation and service.’’

“伟大的主宰自我，这个人内在的‘我是临在’，在你有意识的力量之中，在你伟大的洞察力和远见之中，在你的智慧和指导智能之中出现，去看到需要为她进行调整的一切，去看到她应得的和平和安宁会给予到她。‘我是’主宰临在，指挥和命令这一切完成，现在这已经完成。把意识提升到全然闪耀的圣光之中，在那里她可以看到并知晓，通过她自己的创造和服务，宁静、休憩和美丽都是她的。”

It is a mistake to let sympathy draw you into conditions that are very destructive. Take the stand: “ ‘I AM’ the only Presence acting there.”

让同情心把你带入到极具破坏性的状况中是错误的。采取这样的立场：“‘我是’在那里运作的唯一临在。”

For helping those who have passed on through so- called death: ” ‘I AM’ the Presence holding that individual in the sphere where he belongs, teaching and enlightening him. “

帮助那些已经经历过所谓的死亡过世的人，使用这句肯定句：“‘我是’让那个人处于他所属领域的临在，教导并启发着他。”

If the student can get the correct idea of pouring out the Love to his own Divine Self, he will receive complete relief from every discord. To perfect conditions say:

如果学生可以正确地理解向他自己神圣的自我倾洒爱这一理念，他就会从所有的不和谐中得到所有的缓解。为了让状况完善起来，去这么说：

“‘I AM’ the Presence there—governing and healing the situation.”

“‘我是’临在 —— 在那里主宰和疗愈状况。”

Mankind in general and the doctors have distorted things pitifully. The individual who wants to rise into the “God Presence” and live there needs the energy he wastes. The very energy individuals waste is the force and strength by which they are enabled to hold fast to the “God Presence.” This Energy is the Life they need to enable them to turn and hold steadfast to the “God Presence.” When the outer self has for centuries used Life’s Energy to create wrong conditions, that waste of the energy becomes a wide-open drain upon the consciousness of individuals.

人类和医生都可悲地扭曲了事物。那些想要提升进入“神之临在”并居住在那里的个体，需要那些他们浪费掉的能量。个体浪费的能量，正是可以让他们紧紧地抓住“神之临在”的能量和力量。这种能量是他们所需要的生命，可以让他们转向、并牢牢地坚定住“神之临在”的能量。几个世纪以来，当外在自我使用这些能量来创造错误状况时，浪费的能量就会成为那些个体意识中敞开着的能量排出口。

Doctors are responsible for much of this terrible condition, for they teach the gratification of the sex appetite, and that is the greatest avenue of waste with which human beings have to contend. This is what makes it impossible to hold fast to the “God Presence” long enough to attain the Mastery. It is ninety-five per cent of the cause of old age and the loss of sight, hearing and memory—as these faculties only cease to function when there is no longer a stream of this Life Energy flowing into the cellular structure of the brain. You cannot tell this to individuals until they have had such hard knocks that they are almost desperate with the misery of their own creation before they will listen to you. The will is absolutely nothing without this Life Energy.

医生们对这种可怕的状况负有大部分责任，因为他们教导去满足性的欲望，而这是人类必须要去面对的最大的能量浪费。这就是为什么不可能长时间地坚持“神之临在”、一直到达主宰状态的原因。这是导致衰老、视力衰退、听觉和记忆丧失的95%的原因 —— 因为只有当生命能量不再流入大脑的那些细胞结构中时，这些能力才会停止运作。你还不能去告诉那些人这一点，除非他们遭受了非常沉重的打击，让自己近乎绝望地陷入自己创造的苦难之中，然后他们才会愿意倾听你的话。若是没有这种生命能量，意志不会起作用。

There is only one possible way to change anything which has been created and directed into a wrong channel. The attention is what holds it fast to the wrong use or expression of it. Instantly direct the thought to the Higher Self. Many people get the idea that they can control it by sheer force of will, through compulsion. This cannot be done, for you but dam it up, and it only breaks out somewhere else.

只有一种可能的方法来改变任何已经创造的、错误引导的事情。注意力是让能量错误使用或表达的根源。即刻把想法放在高等的自我上面。很多人认为，他们可以通过纯粹的意志力，通过强迫来控制它。这是不可能带来根本转变的，因为你这么做只是把它堵住，它还会在其它地方爆发。

The only permanent way to overcome it is to change the attention and rise out of it. Use the Statement: ” ‘I AM’ the Governing Presence of this Energy and the only Power that can raise it. ‘I AM’ the Presence raising and transcending it, and that action is forever Self-sustained. “

克服它的唯一永久性方法，就是改变注意力所在，提升它。使用这句生命：“‘我是’这种能量的主宰临在，也是提升这种能量的唯一力量。‘我是’提升并升华它的临在，这种行动永远是自我维系的。”

Know: ” ‘I AM’ the Presence doing this, and therefore it is done now, for God’s Activity is always instantaneous.”

知晓：“‘我是’在做这件事情的临在，因此它现在就已经完成了，因为神的活动总是瞬间完成的。”

In any wrong condition, the first thing to do is to call on the Law of Forgiveness. Remember that when a thing has been set in motion or energized, it simply acts.

在所有错误的状况中，首先要做的就是呼请宽恕法则。要记住，当一件事情被启动或被赋予能量时，它就会开始运作。

The physical body is the vehicle for contact with the sense world. When nearing the point of precipitation, continue on using the physical vehicle for doing the ordinary physical service. There is the Inner, the mental, and the physical world. The physical body has been created to act in the lower rate of vibration and is the natural vehicle provided.

物质身体是与感官世界接触的载具。当接近沉降那一点时，接下来就会使用物质身体载具来完成在普通的物质层面的服务。存在着内在世界、心智世界和物质世界。物质身体被创造在较低振动频率下进行运作，是提供的天然载体。

To direct and handle physical objects by the mind alone needs an accumulation of Electronic Force in the Electronic Circle of the individual. When using the energy below the Ascended State, this consciously generated energy is held within the Electronic Circle which surrounds every individual to a more or less degree. This accounts for some individuals seeming to have a limitless amount of energy, for that which is accumulated in one lifetime is carried over into the succeeding lives.

仅仅靠心智力量来引导和处理物质层面的物体时，需要一个人电子圈中积累的电子能量。当使用低于扬升状态的能量时，这种有意识产生的能量是被保存在电子能量圈中的，或多或少地围绕着每个人。这也解释了为什么一些人看上去似乎有着无限的能量，因为在一世中积累的能量会延续到后世。

Perhaps one of the most unfortunate things in which human beings live is the man’s so-called legal right to bind another individual in the sex activity when the other wishes to rise out of it.

或许人类生命中最不幸的事情，就是当一个人希望提升自己超越性时，另一个人拥有着所谓的合法权利，再把那个人束缚到性活动中。

Even in the ignorance of the outer mind, some natures have a powerful development of the Love Activity. The Pure Love of God never goes below the heart. True Love never requires sex contact of any kind. The Great Ascended Host of Light are ever with those who want to do right. Send your thought out to Them, and you shall always receive help.

即便是出于外在心智的无知，有些本性也拥有着爱之活动的伟大发展能力。神的纯粹之爱不会进入低于心轮的位置。真正的爱也从来不要求任何形式的性接触。圣光的伟大扬升之主永远与那些想做正确事情的人同在。把你的想法发送给他们，你总是会得到帮助。

You have an Invulnerable, Invincible Power when you know you have the recognition of the “I AM Presence. “

当你知晓你已经认识到“我是临在”时，你就拥有了一种坚不可摧的、无敌的力量。

The Law of Forgiveness is the wide-open Door to reach the Heart of God. It is the Keynote and Hub on which the Universe turns.

宽恕法则是一扇通往神之内心的敞开的大门。它是宇宙转动的基调和枢纽。

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty, Infinite Presence of God! We give praise and thanks for Thy ceaseless Ministry. We call Thy Blessings, Thy Wisdom, Thy Intelligence to act through each one, giving peace of mind, peace of body, and joy of heart, to go forth the Ruling, Conquering, Victorious Presence over all things. We give praise and thanks that the “Mighty Presence I AM, ” God in Action, governs all official places, causing Thy Perfection to be ever-operative and Self-sustained in Thy Name and through Thy Presence.

祝福：伟大无限的神之临在！我们赞美和感谢你无尽的工作。我呼唤你的祝福、你的智慧和你的智能，通过每一个人进行运作，带来心智的安宁、身体的平静和内心的喜悦，以统治、征服和胜利性的临在来主宰万物。我们赞美并感谢“我是伟大临在”、运作中的神，主宰着所有的官方场所，让你那完美以你的名义和你的临在，永远发挥作用，并自我维系。

“我是”爱，所有行动的强大驱动力。 ”

I wish to give the most kindly warning to the students under this Radiation to watch every feeling— that at no time anyone accept a feeling of jealousy at the progress of another. Each student must always remember that he has no concern whatsoever with the other students, except to know that: ” ‘I AM’ the God Presence there in action.” For one student to wonder and question in his own mind about the progress of another is most retarding, and it is never admissible.

我想向在这种照耀下的学生们发出最善意的警告，要留意每一种感觉 —— 任何时候一个人都不要去接受对其他人进步的妒忌感。每个学生必须永远记住，他不要去担心其他的学生，除了知晓：“‘我是’那里神之临在的行动”。对于一个学生来说，在自己的头脑中去怀疑和质疑另一个学生的进步是最大的阻碍，而且这是绝对不允许的。

Each student must understand that his only concern is the harmonizing, quickening, and expansion of his own mind and world. The sooner students understand that the one imperative demand of the Great Law of their Being is harmony of the mind and feelings, the quicker will Perfection manifest. Without this being maintained, they cannot go beyond a certain state of progress.

每个学生都必须明白，他唯一关心的是他自己的心智和他所在世界的协调、加速和扩展。 学生越早理解他们存在的伟大法则之中的迫切要求，心智和情感的和谐，完美就会越快显现。 如果不保持和谐，他们就无法超越某种进步中的状态。

As soon as the students realize this and begin to use the “I AM Presence,” commanding the harmony and silence of the outer activity, they will find that they can see, feel, and be the Perfection which they so much desire. When students and friends have a deep, sincere Love for each other which is not inquisitiveness, that Love is the greatest blessing and uplifting power. Here is one criterion by which a student may gauge himself at all times, determining what is the power acting.

一旦学生意识到这一点并开始使用“我是临在”，去命令外部活动处于和谐与安静之中，他们就会发现，他们可以看到、感受到并成为他们如此渴望的完美。当学生和朋友彼此之间有着深沉、真诚的爱，而不是好奇心时，这种爱就是最大的祝福和提升的力量。这是一个学生可以随时衡量自己的标准，以确定是什么力量在运作。

If one feels critical, inquisitive or out of harmony toward a person, place, condition or thing, it is a sure signal that the outer self is acting, and the right attitude is to correct it immediately. Everyone, especially students, must realize that they have only one thing to do, and that is to feel, see, and be Perfection in their own worlds.

如果一个人对一个人、一个地方、一个状况或一件事感到挑剔、质疑或不和谐，这是一个明确的信号，表明外在的自我正在运作，正确的态度就是立即去纠正它。每个人，尤其是学生，必须意识到他们只有一件事要做，那就是感受、看到并在自己的世界中成为完美。

This is so very important is the reason I am stressing it so much at this time —because as students begin to experience unusual manifestation through their efforts, there is always that suggestion at first which will say to the individual: ” ‘I AM’ able to use the Law better than the other person.” This, you know without My saying it, is a mistake.

这一点非常重要，所以我才在此刻如此强调它 —— 因为当学生开始通过他们的努力体验到不同寻常的表达时，最初总是会出现这样的声音对这个人说：“‘我是’可以比其他人更好地运用这法则。”这一点不用我说，你也知道它是错误的。

One cannot long use the Statement “I AM, ” even intellectually, until he begins to feel a deeper and deeper conviction that: ” ’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 couple the expression ‘I AM’ with.” 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.

直至一个人开始感觉一种越来越深沉的确信感：“‘我是’万物”，否则他不能长久地使用“我是”肯定句，即便是理智知晓也不行。经常去思考这两个奇妙字眼的涵义，并始终与应用结合，就是下面这句声明：“当我说‘我是’，不论‘我是’与什么结合起来，‘我是’就把神的无限力量带入到行动之中。”在圣经的陈述中有这样一句话：“在亚伯拉罕之前，有‘我是’。”亚伯拉罕代表生命的外在表达，“我是”代表了通过亚伯拉罕进行表达的生命法则。因此，在任何外在表达发生之前，存在着生命的完美；因此，生命没有开始，也没有终结。

My Beloved Students, My Heart rejoices exceedingly in the nearness with which some of you are feeling the conviction of this Majestic Presence, “I AM,” which you are. Do your utmost to feel calmly, serenely, and if you cannot see it otherwise, shut your eyes and see Perfection everywhere. More and more there will come to you proof of the marvelous Presence of this Truth. You will hear, feel, see, and experience that marvel of all marvels—which as children you have lived in—miracles performed.

我亲爱的学生们，我心里非常高兴，因为你们中的一些人感受到了这个庄严临在，也就是真正的你，“我是”的确信感，。尽最大努力去感受平静、安宁，闭上你的双眼，去看到无所不在的完美。会有越来越多的证据表明这个神奇临在存在的真实性。你会听到、感受到、看到并体验到所有奇迹中的奇迹 —— 你从小一直就活在奇迹中 —— 活在创造的奇迹中。

There have been written for your benefit descriptions and explanations of the use of this “Mighty I AM Presence.” You who hold fast to the Truth will come into the threefold action: seeing, hearing and experiencing these so-called miracles—miracles until you understand their operation, and then majestic simple Truths which you may forever apply, when once understood.

使用“伟大我是临在”的描述和解释会给你带来的好处，已经写了下来。坚守这一真理的人，将会采取三重行动：看到、听到并体验到这些所谓的奇迹，当你理解了它们的运作之后，奇迹就变成了简单的真理，一旦理解了，你就可以永远地对它们进行应用。

With all My centuries of experience, I cannot help but say to you as encouragement that My Heart leaps with joy at the nearness with which some of you are grasping the Scepter of Dominion. Go forward, My Brave Ones. Do not hesitate. Grasp your Scepter of Dominion! Raise It! for: “I AM” the Scepter, the Quenchless Flame, the Dazzling Light, the Perfection which you once knew.” Come! Let Me hold you in My strong Embrace, that where there have been so long two, there will only be one —”I AM.” “I AM” the Knower, the Doer, the Perfection expressed now.

我用自己几个世纪以来的经验，忍不住对你们说，作为鼓励，我的内心因为你们中的一些人紧紧握住这主宰的权杖而欢欣。前进吧，勇敢的人们。不要犹豫。抓住你的主宰权杖！举起它！因为：“我是”权杖，是不灭的火焰，是闪耀的圣光，是你曾经知晓的完美。“来吧！让我用我强有力的怀抱拥抱你，一直以来那里都是有两个，现在将只剩下一个” —— “我是”。“我是”知者、行者，是表达的完美。

I again speak to the individuals wanting so much to have their problems solved. There is only One Presence in the Universe that can or ever does solve any problem, and that is the “I AM Presence’’ everywhere present. Beloved Ones! Let me say in all kindness, there is no use just seeking to have a problem solved, because where one was, a dozen may appear; but when you know the Perfect Attitude is to enter into the “I AM Presence,” knowing It is the Unquestionable Solver of every problem, you will, as surely as “I AM” telling you, cause all problems to disappear; for where you live constantly, calmly and with sufficient determination in the “I AM Presence” instead of having many appear where one has been solved, you will have entered into the State where there are none.

我再次对那些非常希望解决问题的人交谈。宇宙中只有一种临在能够确实解决任何问题，那就是无所不在的“我是临在”。亲爱的学生们！恕我直言，仅仅寻求解决问题是没有用的，因为一个问题出现，接下来还会有一打问题出现；但是，当你知道，完美的态度就是进入“我是临在”，知道它是每个问题毋庸置疑的解决者时，那你就会像“我是”告诉你的那样，让所有的问题消失；因为当你持续地、平静地、并以足够的决心进入“我是临在”之中，而不是解决一个问题后又让很多问题出现，那样你就会进入没有任何问题的状态中。

I command the Power in these Words today to cany to everyone who hears or reads them the True Conviction and Understanding back of them.

我命令这些话语中的力量向每一个听到或者读到它们的人传达出真正的信念和理解。

For the Brain: “ ‘I AM’ the quickening of the cells of this (my or your) brain structure, causing it to expand and receive the Intelligent Direction of the Mighty Inner Presence.”

对于大脑：“‘我是’加速这个（我的或你的）大脑构造中细胞成长的能量，让它去拓展，并接收来自伟大内在临在的智能引导。”

You must know that you have the power through the “I AM Presence” to consciously qualify your thought in whatever way you will. There is naught to say what you shall do, for you are a Free Being of Free Will. If you could be conscious of every thought that passed through your mind for six weeks and keep it qualified with Perfection, you would see the most amazing results. Say often: ” ‘I AM’ the Master Within, governing and controlling all my thought processes in full Christ Perfection as I wish them to be.”

你必须知道，你有能力通过“我是临在”以任何你愿意的方式去有意识地限定你的思想。没有谁可以说你应该做什么，因为你是一个拥有自由意志的存在。若是你可以在六周的时间内，能够意识到每一个你脑海中闪过的想法，并赋予其完美的特质，你就会看到最惊人的结果。经常去说：“‘我是’内在的上师，以我希望它们所成为的基督全然完美来管理和控制所有我的思考过程。”

Blessing and holding others in the Light: When you bless others, or visualize them in the Light, there is a double activity of the quality you send out. In doing this there is a certain amount of protection that is the automatic result, but the thought and quality in the Light and blessing registers principally within one’s own consciousness, and at the same time intensifies that quality in the one to whom it is sent.

在圣光中祝福和护佑他人：当你祝福他人时，或观想他们处于圣光中，你发送出去的特质会产生双重活动。当你这么做时，会自动产生一定程度的保护，不仅是在光和祝福中的思想与品质回主要刻印在一个人自己的意识之中，同时还会强化接受者的这种特质。

Take the eternal stand that: ” ‘I AM’ what I want to be.” You must use the “I AM Presence,’ consciously always. Rarely, even among students, have they realized deeply what the “I AM Presence” meant. Only occasionally has any real comprehension of the “I AM” come forth—except in the Retreats of the Ascended Masters. Jesus was the first to stress it to the outer world. I urge you earnestly, do not give any consideration to the element of time. Manifestation must come instantly when you give the “I AM Presence” freedom enough. Go on, apply, know, and let the “I AM Presence” take care of the element of time.

要采取这样永恒的立场：“‘我是’我想成为的。”你必须始终有意识地使用“我是临在”。即使在学生中，他们也很少深刻地意识到“我是临在”的含义。只有偶尔才会出现对“我是”的真正理解 —— 就是在扬升大师的静修之处。耶稣是第一个向外界强调这一点的人。 我恳请大家，不要去考虑时间的因素。当你给予“我是临在”足够的自由时，显化必须立即到来。继续这么做、去应用、去了解，并让“我是临在”来处理时间因素。

When you make a declaration of Truth and stick to it, you must receive. The outer has no power of itself at all. Its duty is simply to know that the “I AM Presence” is acting. Sometimes, without being aware of it, the outer self is looking for the time of manifestation.

当你去宣告真理，并坚持下去，那么你一定会收到回应。外在根本没有任何力量。它的职责仅仅是去知晓“我是临在”在行动。有的时候，在没有意识到的情况下，外在自我会去寻找显化的时间。

I can convey to you the conviction and the feeling that when you command as the “I AM Presence,” Almighty God moves into action.

我可以向你传达这样的信念和感觉，当你以“我是临在”进行命令时，全能的神就会采取行动。

Remember at all times that when you are dealing with personalities you are dealing with the outer human creation, and you have all right and power to command its silence and obedience, whether it is in your own outer self or someone else’s.

永远记住，当你与人格打交道时，你就是在与外在的人类创造打交道，你有权利和力量命令它保持沉默和服从，无论是你自己的外在自我还是别人的外在自我。

If you will count ten before you speak, you can control all sudden impulse, and back of this is a Mighty Law which can help the student immensely. When there is a sudden impulse, there is a release, or rushing forward of accumulated energy. If there be anger, then the energy is instantly qualified with it, or with destruction of some kind.

如果在你讲话之前你可以数到十，那么你就可以去控制所有突然出现的冲动，这背后有一个伟大的法则，可以极大地帮助学生。当出现突然的冲动时，就会有释放，让积累的能量表达。若是有愤怒，那么能量就会被赋予愤怒的特质，或者具有某种破坏性。

The power of Self-control would say: “Only God’s Perfection goes forth.” This will handle any condition of uncontrolled impulses with which the individual is contending. When the student has already let something go forth that is undesirable, then the thing to do is to consciously consume it—instantly.

获得自我控制的力量，去说：“出现的只有神之完美。”这会处理掉这个人正在应对的所有失控冲动的状况。当学生释放一些不想要的东西时，那么要做的就是有意识地去转化它 —— 即刻去这么做。

The constant use of “God bless this” directed to in-animate things brings amazing accomplishment. The easy way to see and feel Perfection is to qualify every thought and feeling going forth with Perfection. When an impulse comes to do anything, instantly qualify it with Perfection.

对无生命的事物持续地使用“神保佑它”这句话，会带来惊人的成就。看到和感觉完美的简单方法就是用完美来限定每一个想法和情感。当出现要做任何事情的冲动时，即刻用完美来限定它。

Story of the engine in a small town: The whistle is the warning; the “I AM” is the control of the engine.

有关小城镇中发动机的故事：汽笛是警告；“我是”引擎的控制。

The ordinary human being would not think of running over children and killing them, yet he releases wrongly qualified energy in thought, feeling, and words that kill the higher impulses in others. If your personality is not controlled and governed, it has the same qualities as all other outer selves or personalities, but your “I AM Presence,’ is the Perfect Control of it.

一般人都不会想去碾压孩子并扼杀他们，但是，人们在思想、情感和言语中释放了错误的能量，扼杀了他人的高级脉动。如果你的人格不受控制和掌控，它就具有与所有其他外在自我或人格相同的特质，不过你的“我是临在”是对它的完美控制。

There is nothing more tragic in the world than for one person to hold the thought of limitation over another human being. A thought of imperfection driven at a sensitive person sometimes limits that one for years, and many times the results are very tragic. We must all give everyone his complete freedom mentally. If you speak of freedom for yourself, be sure and give it first to everyone else. When there is a condition in another that you wish to help, use the following: “‘I AM’ the Perfect Manifestation there.”

世界上没有什么比一个人对另一个人抱有限制性的想法更悲惨的了。一个敏感的人有时会被一种不完美的想法所限制，很多时候结果是非常悲惨的。我们必须给予每个人完全的心智自由。如果你谈论自己的自由，那么请务必首先给予其他人自由。当你希望帮助他人摆脱某种状况时，请使用以下内容：“‘我是’那里的完美表达。”

The principle within both energy and substance is the same. Substance holds energy within it naturally. The heart center of substance is Intelligent Action. Vibration in its natural state is pure, always. Vibration is energy in action and must be qualified.

能量和物质的原理是相同的。物质自然地含有能量。物质的核心是智能的行动。其自然状态下的振动始终是纯净的。振动是行动中的能量，必须经过限定。

The pulsation in all substance is the “Breath of God” acting. Think when breathing: ” ‘I AM’ the Perfect Energy of every breath I breathe. ‘I AM’ the pure atmosphere of my world.”

所有物质的脉动都是“神之呼吸”的运作。呼吸时请思考：“‘我是’我每一次呼吸的完美能量。 ‘我是’我世界的纯净环境。”

Form the habit of constantly qualifying your world with Perfection. The old habit of thinking imperfection has filled your world in the past. Now the important thing is to be Self-conscious that you are filling your world with Perfection all the time. Stand on your feet the first thing in the morning and say with feeling: ” ‘I AM’ the Presence filling my world with Perfection this day.”

养成不断完善你世界的习惯。过去认为不完美的旧习惯已经充满了你的世界。 现在重要的是要自觉地意识到你的世界一直充满完美。早上第一件事就是站起来，带着这种感觉说：“‘我是’临在让我的世界在这一天充满了完美。”

Do not be concerned about personalities. To take the stand: ” ‘I AM’ Perfection acting through any official” would impel the ‘I AM’ Power and Action there.

不要去担心人格。采取这样的立场：“‘我是’通过所有官员运作的完美”，这样就会让‘我是’力量和行动在那里运作。

The first thing in the morning, say: “I qualify everything in my world this day with Perfection, because ‘I AM’ Perfection. I qualify this mind and body with Absolute Perfection and refuse acceptance of anything else.’!

早上的第一件事，去说：“我今天以完美来限定我世界上的一切，因为‘我是’完美。我以绝对完美来限定我的心智和身体，并拒绝接受任何其他东西。！”

“‘I AM’ the Miracle, and I AM’ the Presence compelling its manifestation through Divine Love, Wisdom and Power.”

“‘我是’奇迹，‘我是’通过神圣之爱、智慧和力量来让其表达的临在。”

When individuals come and ask about certain use of the Law, always preface your statement with: “You are an individual of free will, but this is the way I feel about it.”

当人们来询问生命法则的某些用途时，请始终在你的表述前加上：“你拥有自由意志，不过这是我对此的感受。”

What is required for the expansion of the Light of one person may be entirely different from that for someone else. You cannot expand so long as you have an opinion about anyone else. It is stifling to your own progress. There is a time comes with everyone when he must stand up and face himself, his outer creation, then say this: “Whatever there is of imperfection left in me has to get out. “

一个人内在的光扩展所需要的可能与其他人的光扩展所需要的完全不同。只要你对别人有意见，你就无法去拓展。它会阻碍你自己的进步。每个人都会有这样一个时刻，他必须站起来面对自己，面对他的外在创造，然后说：“无论我身上还有什么不完美的地方，都必须去掉。”

Your constructive desire is God in action doing the thing.

你的建设性意愿是神在行动中做这件事。

Your desire holds the Power or energy of the “I AM,” through the attention on the thing you desire to do.

你的心愿中拥有“我是”的力量或能量，通过你把注意力放在你想要完成的事情上来实现。

” ‘I AM’ the Full Revelation and the Perfect Application for precipitating what I desire, and I do know what is the Perfect Thing to do in the outer self while precipitating.”

“‘我是’我想要沉降之事的完美启示和完美应用，我的确知晓在沉降过程中外在自我要做的完美事情是什么。”

Say often: ” ‘I AM’ the precipitating ‘Presence’ of this thing.” Do not be anxious; just know it with calm certainty. When you are conscious of the “I AM” acting, you know it is moving forward. Do not let in the sense of disappointment — rather, say:

经常去说：“‘我是’让这件事情沉降的‘临在’”。不要焦虑，只需要带着冷静的确信去知晓这一点。当你意识到“我是”在运作时，你就知道它在向前推进。不要表现出失望的感觉 —— 而是要这么说：

“’I AM’ the Perfect Harmony of my thought, feeling and action.”

“‘我是’是我的思想、感觉和行动的完美和谐。”

NOTES

附注

In a recent newsreel there have been pictured certain chemical activities and how to use this chemical action upon flowers to qualify them with the desired fragrance. Instead of raising them in the earth, they are growing them in water with excelsior over the top. This shows how near the chemists and scientists are coming to bringing things forth direct from the Universal. This shows the “Inner Activity” coming into conscious, definite use—or the activity held in Consciously Directed Rays.

最近的新闻短片报道了某些化学活动，描述了可以给花朵施加某种化学试剂从而赋予它们所需要的香气。这些花朵不是种植在土壤中，而是种植在水中，盖上细木绒。这种现象表明化学家和科学家距离可以从宇宙中直接得到事物的距离是非常接近的。这表明了“内在的活动”进入有意识的明确使用之中 —— 或者是有意识地引导圣光来进行活动。
