SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: Mighty Luminous Presence! "I AM" the Conquering Power. "I AM" the Radiant Splendor filling everything in manifestation. "I AM" the Life flowing through all manifestation. "I AM" the Intelligence governing all activity, Inner and outer, making it One Perfect Activity. Out of Thy Light, "Mighty Presence which I AM," all things are precipitated into form. "I AM" the Exhaustless Energy governed by Thy Wondrous, Infinite Intelligence. Light the Illumining Center within these bodies who come under this Radiation. Expand that Light into the Full Illumination of the body and mind, raising it into Thy Active, Perfect Eternal Garment.

祈请:伟大的光辉临在!“‘我是’(I AM)那征服的权能。” “ ‘我是’(I AM)充满一切显化之物的灿烂辉煌。” “ ‘我是’(I AM)流经所有显化之物的生命。” “ ‘我是’(I AM)统御所有内在与外在活动的智慧,使其成为一个完美的活动。” 噢,“我所是的伟大临在”,万物皆从祢的光中凝聚显化成形。“ ‘我是’(I AM)那由祢奇妙、无限的智慧所统御的无穷能量。” 请点亮这些在这份光辉之下的身体内部那“启迪中心”。将那份光扩张,直至身体与心智获得全然的启蒙,将其提升进入祢那活跃、完美、永恒的外袍之中。

Mighty Light! Send forth Thy Rays into the hearts of mankind, into all official places, commanding Justice, Illumination and Perfection of Thy Self to express, bringing relief, release, and Light unto humanity; and by Thy Governing Principle, command all things in the outer human activity to give obedience. I bring you Greetings from the Great Host of Loved Ones, who always watch and minister to those whose devotion reaches unto them.

伟大的光!将祢的光束射入人类的心中,射入所有的官方场所,下令让祢自身的正义、启迪与完美得以表达,为人类带来缓解、解脱与光明;并借由祢的统御原则,下令所有外在的人类活动必须顺服我从伟大的“挚爱众”(Great Host of Loved Ones)那里为你们带来问候。祂们始终守护并服侍着那些献身于光的灵魂。

THE DISCOURSE

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.

跨越数世纪的活动,我们已抵达这样一个焦点:累积时代的经验在此转化为瞬间的行动,所有的空间与时间在此合而为一,成为“唯一的临在”——即此刻行动中的神。

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.

知晓正是那神的临在——“我是”——在搏动着你的心脏,那么你就知晓你的心跳即是神在说话的声音。当你开始冥想这项伟大的真理:“‘我是’贯穿我心智与心灵的至高智慧活动,” 你便会将那真实、可靠、神圣的感觉带入心中。

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.

长期以来,人类一直只在圆环的边缘(外围)去爱。一旦学生真正意识到“神即是爱”,且爱之真实的活动是经由心脏而来的,他就会明白:将注意力聚焦在“为任何特定目的而向外投射爱”的愿望上,是意识外在活动中至高无上的特权——这可以产生无限程度的爱。人类此前并不理解,神圣之爱是一股权能、一种临在、一种智慧、一道光,它可以被扇动成无边的火焰或烈火;在每个个体(尤其是光的学生)的自觉智慧中,都有能力去创造并产生这种“爱的临在”,使其无论被导向何处,都成为一股无敌的、无穷的、掌控平安的“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.

曾有人说,爱是不受命令的。但我告诉你:爱是生命的第一原则,可以为了无限的用途而被产生至任何程度,或毫无限制。 这便是自觉地使用并引导爱所拥有的庄严特权。

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.

当我使用“产生”这个词时,我指的是通过自觉的奉献,开启那通往这无穷爱之泉涌的大门,这泉源便是你存在的中心——亦是宇宙的心脏。

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.

学生们通过冥想这份无限的爱之力量,会成为这股倾注能量的泉源,使其自觉的导向在运用中变得无限。

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 exalt 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."

当挚爱的学生们希望加速从某些事件或外在活动中获得解脱时,我只能说:“‘我是’(I AM)那主宰的‘临在’、那卓越的能量、那使我的愿望得以达成的神圣智慧。” 这将带来在你的生命法则许可下,从任何不理想境遇中获得的最快释放。知晓了这一点,你还可以进一步知晓:“我此刻保持为‘我所是的临在’,不被动摇的外在境遇所触及。安然地,我折叠双翼,静候我生命的神圣法则与正义的完美行动,下令我圆环内的一切事物以完美的神圣秩序显现。”

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.

这是学生至高无上的特权,且应当是时刻持守的谕令。在这里我要说一些非常令人鼓舞的事:每一位热切追求光的学生都在被“淬炼”,如同制造最坚韧的钢铁——它耐磨、稳固且最强。这便是经验之生命带给个体的意义。当一个人渴望解脱,却依然出现试炼性的经验时,那是性格之钢的淬炼和个体的强化,最终将赋予他对他所有外在事物的完美且永恒的主宰权。

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.

有了正确的理解,人们便能轻易地在这些经验中欢喜,因为这使他能转而沐浴在光辉奇妙的“我是临在”中。因此,挚爱的学生们,你们绝不应对行善或面对那些有时看似沉重的经验感到厌倦;而要欢喜,因为向前的每一步都通向那无需重复的永恒目标。

This is what methinks 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.'"

我认为学生们经常忘记使用的是:“经由‘我所是’的荣耀临在,‘我是’(I AM)那稳定走过所有经验的力量、勇气与权能,无论那些经验是什么,我始终保持喜悦与振奋,充满平安与和谐。”

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.

对于田径场上的运动员来说,比赛开始时是辉煌的期待;但当他接近终点、对手逼近时,他会付出全部努力,呼吸变得急促,凭借最后的一跃,他跨过终点线获得胜利。光的学生在道路上亦是如此。他们知道在运用“我是临在”时绝不会失败。因此,唯一需要做的就是勒紧腰带,为所需的一切做好准备,向你的对手挥挥手,向他告别。

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,学生从一开始就知道自己不会失败,因为“我是”那支撑他或她的无穷能量与智能。

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.

学生应时刻理解并记住:“显化显现”的力量就在“我是临在”之中。 “我是”在此,是这身体里的生命原则与智慧;“我是”无处不在,甚至直达神之心——那是宇宙的统御智慧。因此,当我希望显化任何事物时,我知晓:“‘我是’(I AM)在行动的权能;‘我是’(I AM)在指引的智慧;‘我是’(I AM)被作用的本质(Substance),我现在就将其带入可见的形式供我运用。”

The contemplation of this phrase just expressed will enable the student to enter into this Activity without strain or anxiety.

对这段话的冥想将使学生能够进入这项活动,而无需任何压力或焦虑

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.

在“显化权能”中,学生们最常遇到的问题就是金钱。第一个问题通常是:“如何在不干扰政府货币配额的情况下显化金钱?”自金钱作为交换标准被创造以来,黄金可以说是它的标准与核心,是所有货币发行的安全保障。要记住,历史上曾发生过无数次各种形式的灾难,导致黄金和发行的货币在外在感官看来被摧毁了。数以十亿计的财富以这种方式消失了。因此,对于任何显化出来的金钱(通常显化的是黄金),并不存在超过政府设定使用限额的危险。再者,历史上曾有数以十亿计的西班牙金币及其他国家的货币被焚毁、遗失、沉没海底等;因此,在法律合规性受到质疑之前,显化活动必须达到极大的数量才行。不过,黄金更多时候是以其自然状态(金块/金砂)被显化出来的,因此在使用上始终是合法的。

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."

既然最近世界都在为增加黄金产量提供溢价,为何不显化它并通过使用它来祝福世界呢?但我可不会为你显化后被问及的问题负责,除非你拥有一座能够声称产出这些黄金的矿场。因为你根本无法想象,一旦你引起外在感官对黄金的注意,那种好奇心会多么疯狂。我向你保证,外在心智会立即被点燃。然而,你可以宣告:“‘我是’(I AM)统御此事的临在。”

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 per cent, you may refuse it. If it is, you are compelled to receive it by the laws of your government."

所谓的想要知道黄金来源的要求,不过是某种微妙的探听方式,以便他人发现你的来源。我的想法是,面对他们的询问,回答“这不关你的事”。只需简单地说:“黄金就在这里。去测试它。如果它不是百分之百纯度的,你可以拒绝。如果是,根据你们政府的法律,你必须接收它。”

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.

挚爱的学生们,你们会明白,只有在物理世界的外在活动中,你才需要交换媒介。因为一旦一个人升入“显化权能”,他对黄金、金钱或任何形式的交换几乎都没有什么需求了,除非偶发情况需要。

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”时,你们会对着这些物理世界或外在世界看似重要的难题开怀大笑,因为它们无非都是“玛雅”(Maya),意即“不断的变幻”。请记住,宇宙中只有一件事物是永久、真实且永恒的,那就是“我是临在”——即你之内的神,祂是所有显化形式的所有者、创造者和统御智慧。因此,知晓你就是那个“临在”,那个“我是临在”,会使你——挚爱的学生——独立于所有的外在显化。

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.

不要误解我的意思。我知道你必须充分进入这种理解;但如果你是真挚的,在认清“我是临在”(即你之内行动中的神)时拥有不屈不挠的决心,你会发现自己(即便是在外在感官上)正迅速升入那种统御与独立之中,届时你可以对所有的外在事物说:“难道你曾经真的困扰过我吗?”你们中的一些人已经领略到,一旦你从外在形式中解脱出来,它们看起来是多么粗糙。对于你更精微、更高阶的感官来说,你竟然曾居住、且仍居住并使用着如此粗糙且不完美的形体,简直令人难以置信。如果你很久以前就认清、宣告并欢欣于“我是临在”,这些外在形体本会变得如此精炼,以至于你可以带着极大的优雅回归其中。然而,人们只需为达成的每一步、以及希望达成的每一步感到欢欣,因为希望变为信念,而信念变为现实。

Now Beloved Students, under no circumstance allow the experience of the outer to fall 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.

现在,挚爱的学生们,在任何情况下都不要允许外在的经验压垮你;而是在这份认知中,为每一天、每一小时、每一分钟都让你更接近那自由与从局限中解脱的目标而欢欣——那是你如此渴望、如此向往的自由。

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.

在你们中的一些人内部,光正变得异常明亮。请继续以那种冷静、无畏的决心去攀登巅峰,因为:“‘我是’、那支撑着你的伟大临在,你绝不会失败。” 你们知道过去用来激励人们(特别是士兵)的老话,是骂他们是胆小鬼,或者是“黄色的(Yellow,指胆怯)”。现在,挚爱的学生们,我要对你们说:你们不是胆小鬼,但你们确实是“黄色的”——那是充满了真理之金光、统御之金光、以及对所有束缚你们的外在事物之主宰的金光。 借由“我是临在”的一次伟大的激涌,你击碎每一条束缚的锁链,粉碎所有的局限感,并以你真实的身份屹立在自由中——那是荣耀、灿烂、庄严的存有。

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.

我非常喜欢使用这条陈述:“‘我是’在此,‘我是’在彼(I AM here and I AM there)。” 如果你深思它,你定能克服那种“分离感”

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.

学生往往或多或少会有不确定感,这总会带来焦虑,而焦虑会产生紧张。当你进入更高阶的活动时,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.

任何事情发生显现时,始终采取冷静沉着的态度始终保持快乐并欢欣于“临在”中;但始终要维持一种平衡——这就是“中道”。让自己保持在这个“中心沉着”之内。一个人在冷静沉着中感受到的喜悦,可以和过度兴奋中感受到的一样深沉。冷静沉着会向他人传达某种他们所需的东西,因为每个人都需要沉着,需要自觉意识到冷静与沉着的必要性,因为它能让人永不放松警惕。沉着之中蕴含着一种自我控制与守卫的权能,这是至关重要的。

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.

你会对随之而来的奇妙事物感到欣喜,有时甚至是惊讶。使用:“‘我是’(I AM)统御一切的完美沉着。” 当你运用“我是临在”时,请务必将其视为一件永恒的事情。

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."

请每位同学都尝试这个方法,如果起初没有感觉到效果,只需继续做下去,随着你使用得越来越多,你定会见效:“‘我是’(I AM)那为此水充入生命本质(Life-giving Essence)的临在,我吸收这本质,它以完美的健康和永恒的青春更新我的身体。” 经常肯定:“‘我是’在此,‘我是’在彼,‘我是’遍及各处的自觉行动。” 面对不和谐的活动,请说:“‘我是’(I AM)阻止此事的临在。‘我是’对这整个局势的积极、平和的统御。”

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”中蕴含着知晓所需之物的智慧。要始终知晓:“‘我是’(I AM)这场会议或这一局势的统御与主宰临在。”

There is nothing that comes into physical form which is not first perfected on the Invisible, or Higher Planes. 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.

任何进入物理形态的事物,无一不是先在“不可见”或更高层面上达到完美的。学生们不应讨论这项教导,而应欢欣于亲自活出它。如果他们这样做,会从中获得更多,因为将不再有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:神圣“我是”之奇妙临在!我们为祢那正生长在这些受此光辉照射的学生意识中的“确定感”给予赞美与感谢。我们欢欣于祢那包裹着每一个人的伟大之光,这光正向全人类散发,将所有的不和谐转化为爱与平安。我们感谢祢。
