圣哲曼系列3 - 我是 The "I AM" Discourse 20

DISCOURSE XX

December 8, 1932

SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: Thou Mighty, Invincible "I AM Presence!" Speak Thyself into the hearts of the children of men! Fill their hearts and minds to overflowing with the Magnificence of Thy Presence, with the conscious strength to look to Thee and know Thee as "the One," the Mighty, Eternal Source of all things by which the consciousness of mankind is sustained. Make them to know Thy Great Ownership, that it is Thee alone who art the Owner and Giver of all things, that they may thus manifest unselfishly one to the other. We thank Thee.

祈祷：祢这伟大、不可战胜的“我是临在”（I AM Presence）！在人类孩子的心中言说祢自己！让祢临在的华美充盈他们的内心与思想，直到满溢；赋予他们自觉的力量去仰望祢，并确认祢就是那“合一者”——即维持着人类意识的、万事万物伟大且永恒的源头。

I bring you Greetings from the Great Host, who are ever pouring Their Radiant Presence into your lives.

让他们知晓祢伟大的所有权，知晓唯有祢才是万物的拥有者与赐予者，好让他们能因此对彼此表现出无私的胸怀。我们感谢祢。

THE DISCOURSE

It is with great rejoicing that the many who have been observant of this accomplishment see how truly the students are entering into the "Mighty I AM Presence;" and how the things that have been disturbing are being dissolved and are dropping away as though they never had been.

众多关注着这一成就的圣者们正满怀欣喜地看到，学生们正如此真诚地进入“伟大的我是临在”；那些曾经干扰你们的事物正被溶解、脱落，仿佛从未存在过一般。

Beloved Students, can you realize how great Our Rejoicing is? We have trod the pathway of attainment into that Great Freedom of Mastery over all limitation. We rejoice to see you entering into this Presence which, if maintained, will bring you certainly and surely to this same Freedom. It is only when the outer becomes sufficiently obedient, giving all power to the Great Inner Presence, that one finds peace and rest in this Mighty Acknowledgment.

亲爱的学生们，你们能体会我们的欢欣有多么巨大吗？我们曾踏上通往那“超越一切局限之掌控自由”的成就之路。看到你们进入这份临在，我们倍感欣喜——只要持之以恒，这份临在必将带你们走向同样的自由。唯有当“外在”变得足够顺服，将所有力量都交还给伟大的“内在临在”时，一个人才能在这份伟大的承认（Acknowledgment）中找到平安与安息。

In that peace and rest flows a Mighty River of Energy, like a mountain stream flowing through a fertile valley, lined with flowers and perfect vegetation. So in the Peace that passeth understanding do you move more and more, finding that Eternal River of Energy flowing into and through your Being, spreading its blessing and opulence into your Life and experience everywhere you go.

在那份平安与安息中，流淌着一股伟大的能量之河，如同山间的溪流穿过肥沃的山谷，两岸鲜花簇拥，植被完美。因此，在那份“超乎理解的平安”中，你愈发稳健地前行，发现那永恒的能量之河正流入并流经你的生命，将它的祝福与丰盛传播到你所到之处的生活与经验中。

While it is true that the intelligence is the channel through which you must receive, yet as you feel with deep sincerity the Truth of the "I AM Presence," you will find the stillness becoming greater and greater, until one day: "Thou shalt see the door of thy creation open wide before thee, and thou shalt step forth with open arms into that Freedom, inhaling the Fragrance of the Pure Atmosphere of the Etheric World, wherein thou wilt be able to mold that plastic substance into the Perfection of everything upon which thy desire is held."

虽然智慧确实是你必须借以接收的渠道，但当你以深切的真诚感受到“我是临在”的真理时，你会发现那份静谧变得越来越深，直到有一天：“你将看到你创造的大门在你面前洞开，你将张开双臂步入那份自由，吸入以太世界纯净大气的芬芳；在那里，你将能够把你所持守之愿望的‘完美’，塑造进那具有塑性的本质（Plastic Substance）之中。”

You are making such splendid progress; do not let any fear of persons, places, conditions or things interrupt or disturb you, for the "Presence of the Light" stands before you, beckoning you on, that you may be held in Its fond embrace, receiving of Its boundless riches of every description which It holds in store for you.

你们正取得如此辉煌的进展；不要让任何对人、地点、状况或事物的恐惧干扰或惊扰到你们。因为“光之临在”正伫立在你们面前，召唤你们前行，好让你们被拥抱在祂深情的怀抱中，接收祂为你们储备的、各种名目的无限财富。

I shall now say something which may seem astonishing, but I assure you, it is very true. Last night as the question was asked – had you all been together before – I wish to say that it would not have been possible for you to have been drawn into this intensified Action of the Great Inner Law if you had not previously had harmonious association and training. While it may be difficult at first for you to comprehend it, you are receiving intensified training which heretofore has only been given after a three-year probation in the Retreat. Some of you have stored-up treasures of Energy. I mean by that, energy created by your conscious activity through your "I AM Presence." Others have stored-up treasures of Light. Again, others have treasures of Love. Others have gold and jewels which were placed in keeping to be used in this embodiment. Several of you are on the point of releasing into visibility – into your hands – these stored-up treasures. Do not think I have gone into fancy daydreaming, but I am calling this to your attention for your benefit and blessing.

接下来的话可能听起来令人惊叹，但我向你们保证，这是千真万确的。昨晚当有人问起——你们以前是否曾在一起工作过——我想说，如果你们此前没有和谐的交往与训练，是不可能被吸引到这伟大的内在法则之强化行动（Intensified Action）中的。虽然起初你们可能难以理解，但你们现在接受的是强化训练，而这类训练在此前通常只有在静修处（Retreat）经过三年的试炼期后才会传授。你们中有些人已经拥有储备的能量宝藏。我指的是通过你们对“我是临在”的自觉活动所创造出的能量。另一些人拥有储备的光之宝藏，还有一些人拥有爱的宝藏。甚至还有人拥有被保存起来、留待在本次化身中使用的黄金与珠宝。你们中的几位正处于将这些储备的宝藏释放为肉眼可见——即进入你们手中——的边缘。不要以为我在痴人说梦，我提请你们注意这一点，是为了你们的获益与祝福。

I wish each one of you to go by yourselves sometime during the day for at least five minutes and talk to your "I AM Presence" something like this: "Great Masterful Presence which 'I AM'! I love, I adore Thee. I give back unto Thee the fullness of all Creative Power, all Love, all Wisdom, and through this Power which Thou art, I give Thee full power to make visible in my hands and use the fulfillment of my every desire. I no longer claim any power as my own, for I now claim Thee, the Only and All-Conquering Presence in my home, my Life, my world and my experience. I acknowledge Thy Full Supremacy and Command of all things; and as my consciousness is fixed upon an achievement, Your Invincible Presence and Intelligence takes command and brings the fulfillment into my experience quickly – even with the speed of thought.

我希望你们每个人在一天之中，抽出至少五分钟独处，并像这样与你的“我是临在”交谈：“伟大的主宰临在，即‘我之所是’（I AM）！我爱你，我崇敬祢。我将所有的创造权能、所有的爱、所有的智慧之圆满交还给祢；通过祢所是的这份权能，我赋予祢全权，使我的每一个愿望的圆满在我手中显现为可见并供我使用。我不再声称任何权力为我所有，因为我现在宣称祢——这唯一且必胜的临在——掌管我的家、我的生命、我的世界和我的经验。我承认祢对万物的绝对主权与统御；当我的意识聚焦于一项成就时，祢那不可战胜的临在与智慧便接管并指挥，迅速——甚至以思想的速度——在我的经验中达成圆满。

"I know that Thou art ruler over time, place and space. Therefore, Thou requirest only now to bring into the visible activity Thy every Perfection. I stand absolutely firm in the full acceptance of this, now and forever, and I shall not allow my mind to waver from it, for at last, I know we are One."

我知道祢是时间、地点与空间的主宰。因此，祢只需在‘当下’将祢的每一种完美带入可见的活动中。我绝对坚定地完全接纳这一切，从现在直至永远，我决不让我的心智对此产生动摇。因为最终，我知道我们原为一体。”

Beloved Students, you may add or weave into this anything else you wish for your requirement; and I assure you, if you can live in this – and I shall endeavor to help you do so – you will experience the opening of the floodgates of God's Abundance.

亲爱的学生们，你们可以根据自己的需要，在其中添加或织入任何你们想要的内容。我向你们保证，如果你能生活在这种意识状态中——我也将努力协助你做到这一点——你将体验到神之丰盛的闸门为你开启。

I think here that I should explain to you: the most important, the most desirable thing that anyone can do is to fix within his or her mind the one, permanent necessity, and that is to keep at it until one reaches so deeply and firmly into this "Mighty I AM Presence," that all Love, Light, Good and Riches flow into his Life and experience by an Inner Propelling Power that naught of outer personalities may at anytime, anywhere, ever interfere with.

我认为在这里我应该向你们解释：任何人所能做的最重要、最值得追求的事，就是在心中确立那唯一的、永久的必然性——那就是坚持不懈，直到一个人如此深厚且坚定地触及这“伟大的我是临在”，以至于所有的爱、光、美好与财富都通过一种内在推进力（Inner Propelling Power）流向他的生活与经验。这种力量在任何时间、任何地点，都绝不会受到任何外在人格（Outer personalities）的干扰。

This is the object of true training. This is why students were brought into the Retreats as they could be found ready, or sufficiently progressed, because, as I have said before, it is easy enough to solve your problems as they come along; but I ask you, what good does it do to continue to solve problems unless you have something, somewhere, to which you can anchor that raises you above the consideration of any problem?

这就是真实训练的目标。这就是为什么当发现学生们准备就绪或有了足够的进步时，他们会被带入静修处（Retreats）。因为正如我之前所说，解决随之而来的问题固然容易，但我问你们：如果你们在某个地方没有一个可以依靠的“锚”，能将你们提升到超越任何问题的考量之上，那么继续解决问题又有什么用呢？

To find your "I AM Presence" and anchor to It is the only desirable thing to do. Until you come to this point of firm anchorage to your "Great I AM Presence," of course it is necessary to solve your problems as they come along; but how much better it is to enter in and set free that Mighty Presence, Energy and Action which has already solved the problems before they appear to you. Is this not more acceptable than to awaken every morning and find these problems coming up – staring you in the face – as though they were something really important, which, after all, they are not? Yet I am sure you will agree with Me that some of them or at least your outer sense about them, is that they are tremendously ponderous.

找到你的“我是临在”并锚定于祂，是唯一值得去做的事。 在你达到坚定锚定于“伟大的我是临在”这一点之前，随手解决出现的问题当然是必要的；但如果能进入并释放那伟大的临在、能量与行动——那在问题显现在你面前之前就已经将其解决的力量——那该有多好。比起每天早上醒来发现这些问题出现、盯着你的脸，仿佛它们真的很重要（其实不然）来说，这难道不是更令人接受吗？但我确信你们会同意我的看法，其中一些问题，或者至少是你们对它们的外在感觉，是极其沉重的。

With your glorious obedience to the Divine Principle of created Beings, you shall move along the pathway with your Armor of Invincible Protection buckled on, until the intensity of the very Light that you enter into will no longer require the armor.

凭借你们对受造物神圣法则那荣耀的顺服，你们将带着扣紧的“不可战胜的保护之甲”在路径上前行，直到你们所进入的光之强度本身，不再需要这副铠甲。

Is this not worth all the effort it takes to accomplish it, that you may ever move in this Glorious Freedom? Then when you awaken in the morning, you will no longer find these visitors appear.

为了能永远在这荣耀的自由中行动，难道不值得为此付出所有的努力吗？那时，当你早晨醒来，你将不再发现这些“访客”（指问题）出现。

As I have spoken these Words, I have held you, each one, in the Searchlight of my Vision, even without your permission, so that when you hear these Words you will feel the Inner Conviction of them with a strength which will delight you.

当我言说这些话语时，我已将你们每一个人都置于我愿景的“探照灯”之下（甚至未经你们允许），这样当你们听到这些话语时，你们会感到一种令你们欣喜的、内在的坚信力量。

When critical or disturbing thoughts try to find entrance into your consciousness, slam the door quickly and command them to be gone forever. Do not give them a chance, nor time to gain a foothold, remembering always that you have the Strength and the sustaining Power of the "Mighty I AM Presence" to do this. Should you have difficulty in holding the door shut, talk to your "I AM Presence" and say: "See here! I need help! See that the door to this disturbance is closed, and kept closed forever."

当批判性或干扰性的念头试图进入你的意识时，迅速把门撞上，并命令它们永远离去。不要给它们机会，也不要给它们时间建立据点。永远记住，你有“伟大的我是临在”的力量和支撑力来做到这一点。如果你发现关门有困难，就对你的“我是临在”说：“瞧这儿！我需要帮助！确保这干扰之门被关上，并且永远保持关闭。”

I want you to get fixed in your consciousness that you can talk to your "I AM Presence" the same as you could talk to Me, believing that I had Limitless Power, because I tell you, it is no idle comment when I say you can cause this Mighty Presence to handle every condition in your entire experience and raise you into Its Freedom and Dominion of all things.

我希望你们在意识中确立这一点：你们可以像和我（耶稣）交谈一样与你们的“我是临在”交谈，并深信我拥有无限的力量。因为我告诉你们，我并非随口一说：你们完全可以促使这伟大的临在去处理你们整个经历中的每一个状况，并将你们提升到对万物的自由与主权之中。

As some of you have already reached into the activity of the Universal Substance, I want to call the attention of all of you to the fact that the substance of your bodies and this substance, seeming to be invisible about you, is immensely sensitive to your conscious thought and feeling – by which you can mold it into any form you wish.

由于你们中有些人已经触及了宇宙本质（Universal Substance）的活动，我想提醒你们所有人一个事实：你们身体的本质以及你们周围那些看似无形的本质，对你们自觉的思想和感受极其敏感——借此，你可以将其塑造（Mold）成任何你想要的形状。

The substance of your body can, by your conscious thought and feeling, be molded into the most exquisite beauty of form – your eyes, hair, teeth, and skin made dazzling with radiant beauty. This should be very encouraging to the ladies, and I am sure will be to the gentlemen, only they do not like to admit it.

通过你们自觉的思想和感受，你们身体的本质可以被塑造成最精致的美丽外形——使你们的眼睛、头发、牙齿和皮肤因闪耀的光辉之美而变得动人。这对女士们来说应该是巨大的鼓舞，我确信对男士们也是一样，只是他们通常不愿承认罢了。

Beloved Brothers and Sisters, when you look into the mirror, say to that which you see there: "Through the Intelligence and Beauty which 'I AM,' I command you to take on Perfect Beauty of form, for 'I AM' that Beauty in every cell of which you are composed. You shall respond to my command and become radiantly beautiful in every way, in thought, word, feeling and form. 'I AM' the Fire and Beauty of your eyes, and I carry forth this Radiant Energy into everything into which I look." Thus you can cause to come into appearance the Perfection which will give you all the encouragement you want, to know that " 'I AM' always the Governing Presence."

挚爱的兄弟姐妹们，当你们照镜子时，请对着镜中的自己说：“通过‘我是’（I AM）所是的智慧与美，我命令你呈现出完美的美丽外形，因为在构成你的每一个细胞中，‘我是’（I AM）就是那份美丽。你必将响应我的命令，在思想、言语、感受和外形上全面变得光彩夺目。‘我是’（I AM）你双眼的火焰与美，我将这份光辉能量带入我所注视的一切事物中。”通过这种方式，你可以促使那“完美”显现出来，这会给你带来所有你想要的鼓励，让你知道：“‘我是’（I AM）始终是统御一切的临在。”

I wish to say to you who desire your forms to become more symmetrical: start your hands at the shoulders, and bring them down over the body to the feet, feeling the Perfection or symmetry of the form you wish. Through your hands will go the energy or quality which you desire to manifest. If you will try this with deep, earnest feeling, you will be amazed at the result. This is the greatest reducer in the world. This, I assure you will cause the flesh, as it comes into more beautiful symmetry and Perfection, to become firm and yet supple in every way, because you are sending the energy of the "I AM Presence" through these cells, causing them to obey your command. This may sound ridiculous, but I tell you, it is one of the best, surest and most perfect ways to bring about the Perfection of the body. I tell you, anyone who will practice this will bring the body into any condition that one desires.

我想对你们中那些渴望体态变得更加匀称（Symmetrical）的人说：将双手放在肩膀上，向下抚摸身体直至双脚，感受你所渴望的体态之完美或匀称。通过你的双手，你所渴望显化的能量或品质将会传递出去。如果你能带着深切、热诚的感受去尝试，结果会令你惊讶。这是世界上最伟大的“减脂法”。我向你们保证，这将促使肌肉在变得更加优美、匀称和完美的同时，也变得紧致且富有弹性，因为你正通过这些细胞发送“我是临在”的能量，促使它们服从你的命令。这听起来可能有些荒谬，但我告诉你们，这是实现身体完美最好、最稳妥、最完美的方法之一。我告诉你们，任何人只要练习这一点，都能让身体进入任何他所渴望的状态。

I want the students to get the fullness of the idea that they are masters of their forms, their minds and their worlds, and can inject into them whatsoever they wish. The Pure and Perfect Life of God is flowing through you every instant; why not switch off the old design and switch on the new? Do you not see how important it is to perfect the body?

我希望学生们能充分领会这样一个理念：他们是自己外形、心智和世界的主人，可以向其中注入任何他们想要的东西。神那纯净而完美的生命每分每秒都在流经你；为什么不“关掉旧的设计，开启新的设计”呢？难道你看不出完善身体有多么重要吗？

What can the Inner Presence do with a body that is sick or out of harmony all the time? When this is the case, the attention becomes so fixed upon the body that the "I AM Presence" cannot get the attention but a little part of the time. It is so easy, if you will but do it. With this treatment of the flesh with the energy of the "I AM Presence," it becomes firm and Perfect.

对于一个一直处于疾病或不和谐状态的身体，“内在临在”能做些什么呢？在这种情况下，注意力会过度聚焦在身体上，导致“我是临在”只能在极少数时间获得你的关注。其实这非常容易，只要你愿意去做。通过用“我是临在”的能量来调理肌肉，它会变得紧致而完美。

The reason I speak of this with such deep, earnest feeling today is because I see the change and improvement in almost everyone; and by special conscious attention directed to this, how much more quickly will each be brought into the Perfection which he desires. When an individual has an abnormal abdomen, and anything that is more than straight is abnormal, he should raise the left hand in this position, palm up, move the right hand in a rotary motion over the abdomen, moving from left to right. Each time the hand passes over it, feel deeply the absorbing activity.

我今天之所以带着如此深切、热诚的感受谈论这件事，是因为我看到几乎每个人的身上都有了变化和进步；通过特别地将意识注意力转向这一点，每个人都能更快地进入他所渴望的完美状态。当一个人的腹部异常时（任何超过直线状态的都被视为异常），他应该抬起左手保持这个姿势，手掌向上，右手在腹部做旋转运动，从左向右移动。每当手移过时，深切地感受那种“吸收”的活动。

The quick charge of energy through the hand goes into the cells, contracting and reducing them into a normal condition. I assure you this Instruction is no idle fancy, but is of tremendous import, and It will accomplish the purpose for which It is used, absolutely without question – if applied with earnest feeling.

通过手掌快速注入的能量进入细胞，使其收缩并还原到正常状态。我向你们保证，这项指导绝非虚妄的幻想，而是具有极其重大的意义。如果带着热诚的感受去应用，它绝对会毫无疑问地达成其目标。

The consciousness, of course, should be that the energy flowing through the right hand is the All-Powerful, Absorbing Presence, consuming the unnecessary cells and bringing the body into a perfect, normal condition.

当然，意识应当是：流经右手的能量是全能的“吸收之临在”，消耗掉不必要的细胞，使身体恢复到完美、正常的状况。

This will not only adjust the abnormal size of the abdomen, but will penetrate through the form, charging the intestinal activity with a cleansing, purifying process which will be of inestimable benefit. Those who have found the activity of those organs lazy will find them quickened into normal action. I assure you that the ladies will not need to use rolling pins or roll on the floor; also I assure you the ladies are not the only ones who use rolling pins.

这不仅能调整异常的腹部尺寸，还会渗透进身体内部，赋予肠道活动一种清理和净化的过程，这将带来无法估量的益处。那些发现器官功能迟缓的人会发现它们被加速至正常的运作。我向你们保证，女士们不再需要使用擀面杖（Rolling pins）或在地上翻滚；我也向你们保证，女士们并不是唯一使用擀面杖的人。

The unfortunate, almost appalling condition is that individuals, having within them this Mighty God Presence, will give every imaginable power to outside things to produce results within and upon themselves, when whatever remedial agent they use, whether exercise, drugs, or anything else, has little effect, if any – except the quality and power they have consciously given these agents. This treatment acts upon the cells wherever they are, be they bones or flesh.

这种不幸、甚至令人震惊的情况是：个人明明内在拥有这伟大的神之临在，却会将每一种能想象到的权力赋予外在事物，以期在自身内部或表面产生结果。然而，无论他们使用什么补救媒介——无论是锻炼、药物还是其他任何手段——其效果都微乎其微，除非是你自觉地赋予了这些媒介以特质和权能。这种调理作用于身体各处的细胞，无论是骨骼还是肌肉。

How prone the outer mind is to question the ability of this Inner Self to handle any part of the body. If It will handle one kind of a cell, It will handle all. Make the outer accept the Full Power of the Inner Presence, and thus let It expand into use in all things. The outer mind, through long habit, has given enormous power to drugs and remedial agents of every kind; but do you not see that the only thing that does it is the power and authority you give it to have an effect upon your body? I do not mean for a single instant that individuals who have not become aware of the "I AM Presence" should cease all remedial agents; but if they will fix in their minds firmly that no outer thing has any power in their experience, except what they give it, they will begin to rise out of the limitations into which they have placed themselves. Here let me say that ninety percent of the power given to outer things is unconsciously given, and even most students are not aware of it.

外在心智是多么倾向于怀疑这“内在自我”处理身体任何部位的能力啊。如果“祂”能处理一种细胞，“祂”就能处理所有细胞。要让外在心智接受“内在临在”的全能，并让这份能力扩张到对万事万物的运用中。由于长期的习惯，外在心智将巨大的权力赋予了各种药物和补救媒介；但难道你看不出，唯一产生效果的，其实是你赋予它的、让它对你身体产生作用的权力与权威吗？我绝不是说那些尚未意识到“我是临在”的人应该停止使用一切药物；但如果他们能在心中坚定地确立——在他们的经验中，任何外在事物都没有权力，除非是他们赋予的——他们就会开始从自己所处的局限中升华。在此我要说，赋予外在事物的权力中有 90% 是在无意识中给予的，甚至大多数学生也并未意识到这一点。

Now to turn about and give this Great God Presence within you all power to do the things you require and wish to do will accomplish them with a speed and certainty far beyond what any outside remedial agent could do. Some will grasp this idea with tremendous tenacity, while others will require more effort; but it is surely worthwhile making any effort to accomplish it.

现在，转身将权力的全部交给你们内在的伟大神之临在，去完成你们需要和希望做的事，这将以远超任何外部补救媒介的速度和确定性来达成。有些人会以极大的韧性抓取这个想法，而另一些人则需要更多的努力；但为了达成它，付出任何努力都是绝对值得的。

Remember, the "I AM Presence" knows all things for all eternity, in all ways – past, present and future – without limit. If the student would think of this Great Presence, contemplate It, and know that It is all Love, Wisdom and Power, then when he fixes his attention on something to be accomplished, he knows this Presence is the open door, the All-powerful accomplishment, and It cannot fail.

记住，“我是临在”永恒地、全方位地知晓万物——过去、现在和未来——毫无限制。如果学生能思考这伟大的临在，冥想“祂”，并知晓“祂”就是所有的爱、智慧与权能，那么当他将注意力聚焦于某件要完成的事情时，他便知道这“临在”就是那敞开的大门，是全能的成就，且绝不会失败。

Call on the Law of Forgiveness, and direct the energy of the Master Self to correct and adjust the wrong, and in that way, obtain freedom from its reaction. You see, My Dear People, that there is so much unnecessary power given to the outer activity and stress of things which the "I AM Presence" cares absolutely nothing about. It is at no time concerned with the mistakes of the outer self. If the individual but understood that he could turn away from all these discordant activities and give the "Master I AM Presence" within all authority and power to dissolve and dissipate the wrong condition, he could never in any way feel the reactions from his wrong doing.

请召唤宽恕法则（Law of Forgiveness），并引导“掌握自我”的能量去纠正和调整错误，从而使自己从错误的后果（反应）中解脱出来。亲爱的人们，你们看，由于给予了外在活动和事物压力过多的、不必要的权力，而这些正是“我是临在”完全不在乎的。祂从不关心外在自我的错误。如果个体能明白，他完全可以从所有这些不和谐的活动中转身，并将所有的权威与权力交给内在的“我是临在大师”，让祂去溶解和消散错误的状况，那么他绝不会感受到自己过错所带来的任何反作用。

When the individual allows himself or herself to continue to criticize, condemn or judge another of his fellow beings, he is not only injuring the other person, but is unknowingly admitting into his own experience the very element that he is seeing wrong in the other person. The true understanding of this will make it easy for individuals to forever cease such undesirable activity – when they know that it is for their own protection.

当一个人允许自己去批评、谴责或评判他的同胞时，他不仅是在伤害对方，更是在不知不觉中，将他在对方身上看到的那个错误元素招引进自己的经验中。真正理解了这一点，人们就会轻而易举地永远停止这类不可取的活动——因为他们知道，这样做是为了保护自己。

Let us put it in another way. Whatever the conscious attention is fixed firmly upon, that quality is impelled into the experience of the individual. Whatever an individual sees with deep feeling within another individual, he forces into his own experience. This is the indisputable proof of why the only desirable feeling to be sent out from any individual is the Presence of Divine Love – and I mean by that, Pure, Unselfish Love.

让我们换一种说法：无论意识注意力坚定地聚焦在什么之上，那种特质就会被驱策进该个体的经验中。一个人在他人身上带着深切感受所看到的任何东西，他都在强行将其拉入自己的经验里。这就是为什么“神圣之爱”——我指的是纯粹、无私的爱——是唯一值得发出的感受，这是一个不争的证明。

Students oftentimes wonder why they have so many conditions in their experience to handle as they become more and more sensitive. It is because they see an appearance which they have been taught to know is not real, and by allowing their attention to become fixed upon it, they not only invite, but force it into their own worlds, and then have a battle in order to clean house. This can be avoided by instantly taking the attention off the appearance and knowing: " 'I AM,' 'I AM,' I KNOW 'I AM' free from this thing forever – no matter what it is."

学生们经常纳闷，为什么随着自己变得越来越敏锐，经验中反而有那么多状况需要处理。这是因为他们看到了某些“表象”（Appearances），虽然他们被教导过这些并非真实，但通过允许注意力固定在上面，他们不仅是在邀请，更是在强行将这些状况拉入自己的世界，然后不得不进行一场大扫除。通过立即将注意力从表象上移开并确认：“‘我是’（I AM），‘我是’（I AM），我知道‘我是’（I AM）永远从这事物中解脱——无论它是什么”，就可以避免这种情况。

This all comes, of course, from a lack of Self-control in the individual, or an unwillingness to use that Self-control to govern the outer. There are these two distinct conditions with students: one is willing enough to make the effort, but unknowingly allows his attention to become fixed on the undesirable things. The other one, through a quality of stubbornness, is unwilling to make the necessary effort to conquer it.

当然，这一切都源于个体缺乏自我掌控，或者不愿运用这种掌控力来统御外在。在学生中存在两种截然不同的情况：一种是非常愿意付出努力，却在不知不觉中让注意力固定在那些不可取的事物上；另一种则是因为某种执拗（Stubbornness），不愿付出必要的努力去征服它。

No teacher should at any time hold a thought of criticism about any student, for if he does, he will invite that same criticism unto himself. If students get the right idea about this, they will stop it for their own protection.

任何老师在任何时候都不应对学生持有批评的念头，因为一旦这样做，他就是在招引同样的批评降临到自己身上。如果学生能正确理解这一点，为了保护自己，他们也会停止这种行为。

If one keeps silently seeing a discrepancy in another, it is even worse than the spoken word, for it allows the force to accumulate. When discrepancies are forced upon your attention, simply say to your "I AM Presence": "There is the 'I AM Presence' within that person, and with the human I am not concerned." It matters not whether it is a person or inanimate object, the moment you see an imperfection, you are forcing that quality into your own experience. This is so important, it cannot be stressed enough.

如果一个人在内心沉默地盯着他人的瑕疵（Discrepancy）看，这甚至比口头说出来还要糟糕，因为它会让那股负面力量不断累积。当瑕疵强行闯入你的注意力时，只需对你的“我是临在”说：“那个人的内在也拥有‘我是临在’，而我对他的人性层面并不关心。”无论对方是一个人还是一件无生命的物体，这都无关紧要；在你看到不完美的那一刻，你就在强行将那种特质拉入你自己的经验中。这一点至关重要，无论怎样强调都不为过。

Your first consideration should always be to your own Divine Self – adoration to It always. This gives you the opportunity and strength to rise to the height where you can give help to thousands, where now it can only be to a few.

你首先要考虑的应当永远是你的神圣自我——永远崇敬“祂”。这会给你机会与力量提升到那样的高度：在那儿你可以帮助成千上万的人，而不仅仅是像现在这样只能帮助少数几人。

No amount of service can be of any permanent benefit unless the individual first accepts and gives adoration to his own Divine Self, the "Mighty I AM Presence." Those who want to serve the Light and really do good should understand this clearly.

任何形式的服务都无法产生永久性的益处，除非个体首先接纳并崇敬他自己的神圣自我，即“伟大的我是临在”（Mighty I AM Presence）。那些想要侍奉光并真心行善的人，应当清晰地理解这一点。

When students say: "If I only had the money, what good I could do," it is exactly the reverse thing that they ought to do. If one will enter into the "I AM Presence," he will have all the money he wants, and it cannot be kept away from him.

当学生们说：“如果我有钱，我能做多少好事啊”，他们所做的恰恰与他们应该做的相反。如果一个人进入“我是临在”，他将拥有所有他想要的金钱，且这些财富无法被阻挡在门外。

Take the stand with everyone: "There is only the 'I AM Presence' acting there in that person."

对每一个人都持此立场：“唯有‘我是临在’在那里、在那个人身上行动。”

It is much better not to touch upon a thing than to give an insufficient explanation.

不触及某件事，也要比给出一个不充分的解释好得多。

All outer experience is but a discipline. For those who are coming into this Work, the present training is really a finishing school or experience; and that is why some of them feel it is a little strenuous. All the Ascended Host feel with great Joy the Love and gratitude poured out to Them, and of course They respond almost without limit.

所有的外在经验都只不过是一种磨炼（Discipline）。对于正在参与这项工作的人来说，目前的训练实际上是一所“精修学校”（Finishing School）或一种终极体验；这就是为什么他们中的一些人会感到有点吃力。所有的扬升众师都以巨大的喜悦感受着倾注给祂们的爱与感激，当然，祂们也几乎无限制地给予回应。

" 'I AM' is all there is, everywhere present, visible and invisible."

“‘我是’（I AM）即是一切，无处不在，无论有形或无形。”

The consciousness most needed for each individual will come from time to time as the students continue in the use of this. Do not let yourselves strain after things. Just take the calm, certain attitude of the Ascension. Calmly, quickly, lovingly accept It, and just Be. This avoids tension. Nothing is more powerful than this.

随着学生们继续运用这些法门，每个人最需要的意识会不时显现。不要让自己因为追求某些事物而感到紧绷。只需采取扬升那般冷静、确定的态度。平静地、迅速地、慈爱地接纳它，并只是“安住”（Be）。这能避免紧张。没有什么比这更有力量了。
