FAITH – HOPE – CHARITY

SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: "I AM" the Joy, the Courage, the Confidence pervading all the earth – filling the hearts of mankind – consuming all generated thought of depression or lack in the minds of mankind; and that which has been sent forth through lack of confidence shall be wiped from the earth.

祈请：“‘我是’（I AM）弥漫全地、充满人类心灵的喜悦、勇气与信心”——吞噬人类心智中产生的所有沮丧或匮乏的念头；那些因缺乏信心而散发出的东西，将被从地球上抹除。

"I AM" the Presence, the Perfect Christ Activity in the minds of all humanity, filling all official places, causing It to sustain all personalities, causing them to turn with quick certainty to the Source of their Being, the Perfect Life manifest in all outer expression. "I AM" the Presence proclaiming the Conscious Active Divinity in manifestation everywhere.

“‘我是’（I AM）全人类心智中那临在、那完美的基督活动”，充满所有的官方场所，使其支撑起所有人格，令他们迅速且坚定地转向其生命的源头——那在所有外在表达中显现的完美生命。“‘我是’（I AM）在各处显化中宣告那自觉活跃之神性的临在。”

This shall be for 'I AM' the Supreme Conquering Presence. 'I AM' here and 'I AM' there. I go everywhere, touching the brains of mankind as with a streak of Lightning – not with consuming power, but with the 'I AM Presence' that will no longer be gain said." I bring you Greetings, Joy and Love from the Great Host.

这一切必将达成，因为“‘我是’（I AM）至高无上的征服临在。‘我是’在此，‘我是’在彼。我行走于各处，如同闪电般触动人类的大脑——不是用毁灭的力量，而是用那不再被否认的‘我是临在’。”我从伟大的光之众那里为你们带来问候、喜悦与爱。

It is so wonderful, Beloved Ones, to have such perfect peace and calmness in your minds these mornings. Oh, could you understand the value of maintaining that peace of mind! There is nothing that warrants it being disturbed.

早晨你们在心智中就拥有如此完美的平安与冷静，真是太奇妙了，挚爱的人们。噢，愿你们能明白保持那份心智平安的价值！没有任何事情值得它被扰乱。

Your melodies were beautiful, and wonderful words shall come forth to bless through the melodies. There is that Great Joy and advancing Conquering Presence that will bless your home, world, and students with Its Glorifying Presence – with Its Presence of opulence streaming forth like a mighty river to all who make themselves worthy by the peace and harmony of mind.

你们的旋律很美，奇妙的话语将经由这些旋律流出以赐福。那伟大的喜悦和不断推进的征服之临在，将以其荣耀的临在祝福你们的家庭、世界和学生——其丰盛的临在如同奔腾的大河，流向所有通过心智的平安与和谐使自己配得上的人。

THE DISCOURSE

I wish to call your attention this morning to the active Presence of Faith, Hope, and Charity. In this consideration, we will think of Faith as the Conquering, Emanating Power; Hope, the open doorway through the veil, acting in the Pure Presence; Charity, as the determination to think no evil, to speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil, feel no evil.

我希望今早引起你们关注信仰（Faith）、希望（Hope）、慈悲（Charity）这三者的活跃临在。在这一考量中，我们将“信仰”视为一种征服性的、发散的力量；“希望”是穿透面纱、在纯净临在（Pure Presence）中行动的敞开门户；“慈悲”则是绝不思恶、不言恶、不视恶、不听恶、不感恶的决心。

Students should always watch the Inner Activity of the outer mind and not let themselves be fooled by its action. This may sound like a paradox, but it is not. This is more important than it seems at first. If there is lurking back in the consciousness any feeling of resistance of any kind whatsoever, or that something which is always ready to bristle when something displeases, pluck it out by the roots. You know it is of the outer, and it will stand in the way of your attainment to prevent it until you do pluck it out.

学生应当始终监察外在心智的“内在活动”，不要让自己被其行为所蒙骗。这听起来可能像个悖论，但事实并非如此。这比初看之下更为重要。如果在意识深处潜藏着任何形式的抵触情绪，或者某种每当遇到不悦之事就随时准备发作的情绪，请将其连根拔除。你知道它是属于外在的，在你将其拔除之前，它会一直阻碍并防止你的成就。

To maintain a tranquil, sweet disposition in the face of all things is the certain road to Self-control and Absolute Mastery. This is much more important than any of you can possibly understand at this time for your attainment of all that you desire.

在面对万事时保持宁静、甜美的性情，是通往自我克制与绝对主宰的必然之路。对于达成你们所渴望的一切，这比你们目前任何人在此时所能理解的都要重要得多。

There are Cosmic Masters known as Faith, Hope, and Charity. In calling your attention to these three principles always active in the Life of mankind, I want to assure you that they are not only qualities within yourselves, but there are Beings of Great Light and advancement who are also known as Faith, Hope, and Charity. The individuals and students who make the conscious effort to cultivate these qualities and consciously expand them in their worlds will find themselves receiving great instance from these Conscious, Mighty Beings – from whose Names come these qualities into individualization. These are Cosmic, Self-conscious, Intelligent Beings, whose special action with mankind is to encourage and expand these qualities. Therefore let all the students understand that this is far more than a scriptural phrase or expression. At this time these Great Ones have come from out the "Cosmic Silence" because of the need of Faith, Hope, and Charity in the minds and hearts of mankind. The sinister force that would have destroyed the confidence, the hope, and the charity in the minds of the American people is doomed to fail utterly. Even now, hundreds who voted for a wet administration are finding their own uncontrolled thought recoiled upon them and are regretting the unwisdom of the action. So out of seeming wrong activity will still come great good. Since the hypnotic force that was generated has spent itself, many of mankind are wondering what caused them to do certain things; and their very rebellion will generate the force which will be used to correct conditions after all. God, which is Progress, knows no defeat in anything. Let students always remember this, which will enable them to maintain the so much needed peace and poise of mind.

存在着被称为信仰（Faith）、希望（Hope）、慈悲（Charity）的宇宙大师。在让你们关注这三种始终活跃于人类生命中的原则时，我想要向你们保证：它们不仅是你们内在的特质，更有被称为“信仰、希望、慈悲”的伟大光之进化存有。那些自觉努力培养这些特质并在其世界中自觉扩张它们的个人和学生，将会发现自己正接收到来自这些自、强大存有的觉巨大协助——这些特质正是通过祂们之名进入了个体化。祂们是宇宙性的、自觉的、智慧的存有，祂们对人类的特殊作用就是鼓励和扩张这些特质。因此，让所有的学生明白，这远不止是一个经文词句或表达。此时，由于人类心智与心灵对信仰、希望、慈悲的需求，这些伟大的存有已从“宇宙寂静”中走出来。那试图摧毁美国人民心中的信心、希望与仁爱的阴险力量注定会彻底失败。即便在现在，成百上千投票给支持解禁酒类行政部门的人，正发现自己不受控的思想反弹到了自己身上，并为这种不明智的行为感到后悔。因此，从看似错误的活动中，依然会产生巨大的善果。由于产生的催眠力量已经耗尽，许多人正纳闷是什么导致他们做出了某些事；他们的反抗本身终将产生出那股被用来修正现状的力量。神——即是进步——在任何事上都不知失败。让学生始终记住这一点，这将使他们能够保持那份极其需要的心智平安与沉着。

The Majestic Being "Charity" has a natural Consuming Force for dissolving and annihilating hate, criticism and condemnation, and uses the Cosmic Rays as a balancing force in the ethers, from which human beings are drawing their very breath and sustenance, so in spite of themselves, they are breathing in the Fire of these Rays.

这位庄严的存有“慈悲”（Charity）拥有一种天然的“吞噬力量”，用于溶解并歼灭恨意、挑剔与谴责；祂利用“宇宙射线”作为以太层中的平衡力量，人类正从此处汲取呼吸与养分，因此，尽管人们尚未察觉，他们也正在吸入这些射线的火焰。

This reminds me of an illustration. You know, when a person is fainting, many times you hold the smelling salts or ammonia under that one's nose. This is what is actually taking place under the nose of humanity. It is now breathing in this Consuming Presence. (Ask your students not to discuss this fact with unbelievers, but it is vital that the students understand this.)

这让我想起一个例子。你们知道，当一个人昏厥时，你们常会将嗅盐或氨水放在那人的鼻下。这正是目前在人类“鼻子底下”所发生的事。人类现在正吸入这种“吞噬临在”。（请要求你的学生不要与不信者讨论这一事实，但学生理解这一点至关重要。）

Here I want to stress something earnestly. To the earnest, sincere student, there are innumerable means of assistance available to him, much of which is and will remain entirely unknown to him, but from which he nevertheless draws – when his desire for the Light is sincere.

在此我想诚恳地强调一些事情。对于那专注、真诚的学生，有无数种协助手段可供他使用，其中大部分现在及将来对他而言都完全是未知的，但只要他对“光”的渴望是真诚的，他仍能从中汲取力量。

To throw everything to the winds and stand joyously and determinedly in that "One Mighty Presence which 'I AM,'" enables each one to have a continuous stream of victories marked down to his or her benefit. No effort ever made in the "Name and Presence which 'I AM,'" can ever fail; but must go forward from one Victory to another until one attains and is able to use the Scepter of his Full Dominion.

将一切抛诸脑后，喜悦且坚定地立于那“我之所是的唯一伟大临在（One Mighty Presence which 'I AM'）”之中，能使每一个人获得一连串记录在自己名下的胜利。任何在“我之所是的圣名与临在”中做出的努力都绝不会失败，而必须从一个胜利走向另一个胜利，直到一个人获得并能够使用他那全然统御的权杖。

I wish to encourage and strengthen the very important advancing consciousness concerning the Law of Forgiveness. The correct way to call into action the Law of Forgiveness is to say: " 'I AM' the Law of Forgiveness and the Consuming Flame of all inharmonious action and human consciousness." This sets into motion the completed Action.

我希望鼓励并加强关于“宽恕法则”这一非常重要的进阶意识。启动宽恕法则的正确方式是说：“‘我是’（I AM）宽恕法则，是所有不和谐行为与人类意识的吞噬火焰。” 这便启动了完整的行动。

When you use the statement: "I call on the Law of Forgiveness," you are not always completing the action, because you need to be conscious of who and where that Intelligence is which enables it to be done. As I look among the students, I find that it is important to keep touching frequently upon the use of the "I AM Presence," for It is doing remarkable things for them already. My very Being lifts up when I see among the students those whose attention is held with determination upon the "I AM Presence;" how the student becomes a powerful magnet for the Light, and how It rushes to envelop each one as a loving mother enfolds her child. Could people see and realize this for one moment, their determination would surge into a Conquering Flame from which there could be no receding.

当你使用“我祈求宽恕法则”这一陈述时，你并不总是能完成该行动，因为你需要意识到使之达成的那个智慧是谁、在哪里。当我观察学生们时，我发现经常提及“我是临在”的使用是非常重要的，因为“祂”已经在为他们做着非凡的事情。当我看到学生中那些将注意力坚定地持守在“我是临在”之上的人时，我的整个生命都随之提升；看到学生如何成为光的强大磁铁，看到“光”如何冲向并包裹住每一个人，就像慈母环抱她的孩子。如果人们能看见并意识到这一点，哪怕只有一瞬间，他们的决心也会激增为一股永不退缩的征服之焰。

The time is apropos today, and I send forth to each of you and the students a Conscious Ball of Light enveloping the heart and brain of each one, that they may receive more continuously the conscious Blessing of the "Mighty I AM Presence." I believe that most of them will feel this. Whether they do or not, nothing can interfere with Its Action to bless them.

今日时机契合，我向你们每一位及学生发出一个意识的光球，包裹住每个人的心灵与大脑，好让他们能更持续地接收“伟大的我是临在”的意识祝福。我相信他们中的大多数会感受到这一点。无论他们是否感受到，任何事物都无法干扰这造福他们的行动。

To those blessed ones who find disturbance in the home at times, I would suggest that they use this Statement and feel it deeply: " 'I AM' the Conquering Presence, commanding Peace, Love and Harmony in my home and environment." Anyone who will use this with determination can have a peaceful, loving, harmonious atmosphere in the home. Some may need to build a momentum to experience its continuous action. Many times they will have immediate results. To build this into the consciousness is recognizing the "I AM Presence" as the Ruling Power in their homes, for It is naturally the Ruling Presence.

对于那些有时会在家中发现扰动的受祝福者，我建议他们使用这条陈述并深切地感受它：“‘我是’（I AM）那征服的临在，命令我的家与环境中充满祥和、爱与和谐。” 任何坚定使用此宣告的人，都能在家庭中拥有祥和、友爱与和谐的氛围。有些人可能需要建立一种惯性，以体验其持续的效用。很多时候，他们会立即看到结果。将此建立在意识中，就是承认“我是临在”是他们家庭中的统治权能，因为“祂”天生就是那统治的临在。

If students and individuals who have difficulty in maintaining Self-control will sit quietly for five minutes, feeling deeply and thinking to themselves: " 'I AM' Loving Charity," they will find a sense of great relief.

如果学生或那些难以维持自我克制的人，能够静坐五分钟，深切地感受并对自己思考：“‘我是’（I AM）慈悲喜舍，” 他们会感到一种巨大的解脱感。

For fainting: You know, speaking of fainting, the individual never faints – only the personality does that. Therefore if one who is in the habit of fainting will take this determined stand: " 'I AM' the Commanding Presence forbidding this nonsense, and I forever maintain control of my mind and body," he or she will forever control it.

关于昏厥：你知道，谈到昏厥，个体（Individual）绝不会昏厥——只有人格（Personality）会那样。因此，如果一个有昏厥习惯的人采取这种坚定的立场：“‘我是’（I AM）那下令禁止这种荒唐事的统御临在，我永远维持对我心智与身体的掌控，” 他或她将永远掌控它。

When one first feels the least disturbance, quickly take the consciousness: " 'I AM' the Commanding Presence, and I maintain my consciousness here." One must realize that in the command of the "I AM Presence" he has absolute Control of the body. The more anyone uses this, the more quickly does manifestation take place.

当一个人最初感到哪怕是最轻微的扰动时，快速进入这种意识：“‘我是’（I AM）那统御的临在，我在此维持我的意识。” 一个人必须意识到，在“我是临在”的命令下，他拥有对身体的绝对掌控。任何人越频繁地使用它，显化发生得就越快。

Q. If the Great Central Sun is the Heart Center of the Infinite, where is that which is the brain center?

A. In the Pure State, whether in the Infinite or the finite, when there is no imperfection, the brain and heart activity become One, for the motive power of all activity sent forth is Love from the Heart.

问：如果伟大中央太阳是无限宇宙的心脏中心，那么何处又是其大脑中心？

答：在纯净状态下，无论是在无限还是在有限之中，当不存在不完美时，大脑与心脏的活动便合而为一；因为发散出的所有活动，其动力源泉皆是来自心脏的爱。

Therefore, in the Pure State, the heart and brain are synonymous, for within Divine Love is contained Love, Wisdom and Power.

因此，在纯净状态下，心脏与大脑是同义词；因为在神圣之爱（DivineLove）中，已然包含了爱、智慧与权能。

The Infinite Energy is always present awaiting use, but does not act in the Life of an individual except under Conscious Command. There does come a time in the progress of the individual when things act so instantaneously that it seems to be automatic, but it really never is.

无限的能量始终存在并等待被使用，但除非在有意识的谕令（Conscious Command）之下，否则它不会在一个人的生命中起作用。在一个人的进步过程中，确实会有一个阶段，事物的运作如此迅速，以至于看起来像是自动的，但它其实从未如此。

There is absolutely but one road to Self-conscious Mastery, and that is the Conscious Direction of the Eternal Energy into whatever you desire. Now this brings us to another quite vital point.

通往对掌握自我意识（Self-conscious Mastery）的道路绝对只有一条，那就是：将永恒的能量有意识地引导至你所渴望的事物中。 现在这把我们带到了另一个至关重要的点。

Desire is an indirect action of the attention, but desire, sustained by the determined use of the attention, causes the desire to become an invincible manifestation. This will give you a slight idea of how important it is that conscious direction be coupled with the desire. Conscious use of the "I AM Presence," or the consciously directed use of this Eternal Energy to a given accomplishment, should at no time be anything but a most joyous effort. It should never seem like work or tension in any way, because when you declare:      " 'I AM' the Presence, the Intelligence, directing this energy to a given purpose," you set the Law in motion in a perfectly easy, calm manner, and it does not require any "tearing the hair" effort. Therefore it should always be a calm, serene, determined procedure.

欲望是注意力的一种间接行动；但是，由坚定的注意力所维持的欲望，会使该欲望成为一种无敌的显化。这会让你略微意识到，有意识的引导与欲望相结合是多么重要。有意识地运用“我是临在”，或为了达成特定成就而有意识导向地运用这份永恒能量，在任何时候都应当是一种极其喜悦的努力。它绝不应在任何方面显得像是一种劳作或紧张，因为当你宣告：“‘我是’（I AM）那临在、那智慧，指引这项能量达成特定的目的，” 你便以一种完美、从容、冷静的方式启动了法则，它不需要任何“抓耳挠腮”般的拼命努力。因此，它应当始终是一个冷静、安详且坚定的过程。

The student should at all times understand that the student never chooses the Master, but the Master chooses the student. Did the student understand what consciousness he was to maintain, it would come about very much sooner. For contacting the Ascended Masters, use: " 'I AM' the Presence preparing the way and bringing visible contact with the Beloved Ascended Masters."

学生应当时刻明白，学生从未选择大师，而是大师选择学生。如果学生明白自己应当维持什么样的意识，这一切会发生得快得多。为了接触扬升大师，请使用：“‘我是’（I AM）那铺平道路并带我与可敬的扬升大师们进行可见接触的临在。”

With the use of the "I AM Presence" you have Full Command and Limitless Control over all disturbing conditions. When you speak in the "I AM Presence," you are speaking in the "Presence" which the Ascended Being is. You must realize deeply that when you say "I AM," it is the Full God-Power acting and knows no failure of any kind.

通过运用“我是临在”，你对所有干扰的情况拥有完全的统御与无限的掌控。当你以“我是临在”的名义说话时，你便是以扬升存有（Ascended Being）所是的“临在”在言说。你必须深切地意识到，当你言说“我是”时，那是神之全能（Full God-Power）在行动，它不知任何形式的失败。

BENEDICTION: We give praise and thanks for Thy Infinite Outpouring, "Great I AM Presence." We give praise and thanks that at last, we know who Thou art, and that within Thee are all possibilities. We give praise and thanks that Thy Mighty Presence is always the Governing Intelligence, the Love enfolding, the Light illumining everything on the way.

祝福：我们为祢那无限的倾注给予赞美与感谢，“伟大的我是临在”。我们给予赞美与感谢，因为我们终于知晓了祢是谁，并且在祢之内蕴含着一切可能性。我们给予赞美与感谢，因祢那伟大的临在始终是那统御的智慧、环抱的爱、以及照亮前路万物的光。
