SAINT GERMAIN
INVOCATION: Thou Infinite Presence! Expressing Thy Perfection everywhere, we welcome and praise Thy Perfect Manifestation in our lives, homes, and worlds, that Thy Radiant Light may forever consume everything unlike Itself, that Thy Wisdom may always direct, Thy Love always enfold, Thy Light always illumine Thy Perfect Pathway, and that Thou dost hold us firmly in Thy Glorious Radiance, now and forever. I bring you Greetings from the Great Host, with Their Joy and Love for this cooperation, and for that which can but bless, illumine and awaken.
祈请：祢这无限的临在！在各处显现着祢的完美，我们欢迎并赞美祢在我们的生活、家庭和世界中的完美显化；愿祢那璀璨之光永远消耗掉一切与祢不符的事物，愿祢的智慧始终引导，愿祢的爱始终环绕，愿祢的光始终照亮祢那完美的路径，愿祢将我们坚定地持守在祢那荣耀的光辉中，从现在直至永远。我为你们带来伟大众师（Great Host）的问候，带着祂们对这份协作的喜悦与爱，也带着祂们对那能带来祝福、启迪与唤醒之事的热诚。
THE DISCOURSE
Oh that students, or any individuals who know of the "I AM Presence," could but realize that there is no greater consciousness, no greater activity the conscious volition can set into action than the recognition and acceptance of the "I AM Presence."
噢，但愿那些学生，或者任何知晓“我是临在”（I AM Presence）的人，能够意识到：除了对“我是临在”的承认与接纳，没有任何意识或自觉意志所能发动的活动比这更为伟大了。
No matter what the angles of Truth are from the thousands of avenues by which mankind reaches out to gain greater and wider understanding, every one leads to This which you now have the gracious privilege of knowing and understanding and using.
无论人类通过成千上万条途径去获取更大、更广理解的真理角度是什么，每一条最终都会通向你们现在有幸知晓、理解并运用的这一核心。
Any kind of knowledge or power is absolutely worthless unless used. Those who will apply and enter into the use of the "I AM Presence" with deep feeling will see and feel within their own Beings, as they again come in contact with other channels of understanding, how transcendent the knowledge of the "I AM Presence" is in comparison with all other ideas of Truth.
任何形式的知识或权力，如果不被运用，就绝对是毫无价值的。那些带着深切感受去实践并进入对“我是临在”之运用的人，当他们再次接触其他理解渠道时，将会在他们自己的生命中看到并感受到，“我是临在”的知识与所有其他真理理念相比是多么的超然。
"I AM" holding fast to this idea for the students' sake, so they grasp fully the Mighty Truth, that when they say: " 'I AM' whatever I wish to be or manifest," they are actually setting into visible physical activity the Mightiest Presence and Power of God which "I AM." This differs from any other Statement that was ever put into a group of words.
为了学生们着想，“我是”（I AM）正牢牢守住这个理念，好让他们完全领悟这个伟大的真理：当他们说：“‘我是’（I AM）我所希望成为或显化的一切”时，他们实际上是将“我是”（I AM）这最伟大的神之临在与权能投入到了可见的物质活动中。这与任何其他由词语组合成的陈述都完全不同。
There is no other Statement or group of words in existence that actually sets such power into motion to accomplish any given purpose to which the conscious attention is directed as does this Mighty Expression. This is why Jesus the Christ – coupled It with the most important Statements that He made. If the students of this Radiation will meditate or contemplate the Statements that Jesus made upon His own Ray to them, it will help them to grasp the fullness, the stupendousness of this more readily.
在现存的所有陈述或词组中，没有任何一个能像这一伟大的表达方式（Mighty Expression）那样，通过自觉的注意力，发动如此巨大的权能去达成任何既定目标。这就是为什么耶稣基督将它与祂所发表的最重要的陈述联系在一起。如果在这份光辉（Radiation）之下的学生们能够冥想或沉思耶稣在祂自己的光束（Ray）中对他们所做的陈述，这将帮助他们更容易领悟其中的圆满与宏大。
I wish every student of this Radiation to fix firmly in his mind that concerning these Instructions, there may at no time be a charge ever made for Them. The student is always free to make Love-gifts as his heart directs, but to make a definite charge – under the Law by which these Instructions are given – would close the door immediately. Just the reason for this I may not explain to you at this time. It is not that the labourer is not worthy of his hire, but this Work comes under an entirely different Activity of the Divine Law, which I will one day explain to the students.
我希望每一位在这一份光辉之下学习的学生都能在心中牢牢记住：关于这些指导，在任何时候都不得收取任何费用。学生始终可以根据内心的指引自愿进行“爱之奉献”（Love-gifts），但在这些指导所依据的法则之下，设定明确的收费会立即关闭这扇大门。至于其中的原因，我目前可能无法向你们解释。这并不是说劳心者不配得到报酬，而是因为这项工作属于神圣法则中一种完全不同的活动，我终有一天会向学生们解释这一点。
Feeling as I do the earnest, most worthy desire of some of the students to come physically within this Inner Circle, or Radiance, so to speak, I shall endeavor to explain how it is not possible to be done – beautiful and loving as the desire and radiation of the beloved students are. This Beloved Sister and Brother have gone through thirty years of strenuous, conscious preparation for this Work. The Electronic Circle within which this Radiation must focus would have to be entirely rearranged and readjusted. It might require some years to again bring it to this point – lovely and beautiful as the radiation of the others is.
我能感受到一些学生那种诚挚且极其可贵的渴望，希望能从物理层面进入这个“核心圈子”或“光辉中心”。尽管学生们的渴望与散发出的光辉是如此美丽和慈爱，但我仍要努力解释为什么这是无法实现的。这对挚爱的兄妹（指使者夫妇）为这项工作经历了三十年艰苦且自觉的准备。这份光辉必须聚焦于其中的“电子圆环”（Electronic Circle），如果加入他人，整个圆环就必须重新排列和调整。即便他人的光辉再美好，也可能需要数年时间才能再次将其带回到目前的这个焦点。
Each individual has his own distinct radiation and vibratory action. While the invisible mechanism, shall I call it, for this Work is in one way very powerful, yet in another way, it is as delicate as a gossamer veil. I assure you, Beloved Students, that either My Personal Presence or My Consciously Directed Ray is always present whenever either this Beloved Sister or Brother is giving forth these Instructions. Here let Me urge you that at no time is it wise for any student under this Radiation to give forth verbatim these Instructions to one who is not yet under this Radiation. Extracts, verbal or otherwise, may be given forth for the help of others, but We do not wish anyone to be so unfortunate as to say he is authorized to give this forth when he has not had permission to do so.
每个个体都有其独特的光辉和振动频率。虽然这项工作的“隐形机制”（暂且这么称呼它）在某种程度上非常强大，但在另一种意义上，它又像蝉翼纱（Gossamer veil）般脆弱。我向你们保证，亲爱的学生们，每当这对挚爱的兄妹传达这些指导时，我的人身临在或我自觉引导的光束始终同在。在此我敦促你们：在这份光辉下的任何学生，在任何时候将这些指导**原封不动地（Verbatim）**传达给那些尚未进入这份光辉的人，都是不明智的。为了帮助他人，可以提供口头或书面的摘要（Extracts），但我们不希望任何人不幸地宣称自己获得了授权来传达这些内容，而实际上他并未获得许可。
This channel must always be kept clean, pure and unselfish, and these Instructions may not be commercialized at any time. The application within the Instruction which is given from time to time, if used sincerely, with true feeling and confidence in the Instruction, will cause the student or the teacher using It to become such an invincible magnet for the Opulence and Riches of God that there will be no need to commercialize the Instruction for the sake of a livelihood. For any individual – whether at first he has the full understanding of its meaning or not – who will be conscious that: " 'I AM' the omnipresent, limitless supply of God's Riches and Opulence in my use," will sooner or later come into the full conviction of this Mighty Truth.
这个频道必须始终保持洁净、纯粹和无私，这些指导在任何时候都不得商业化。如果在运用中能够真诚地、带着真实的情感和对指导的信心去使用，将会使使用它的学生或老师成为神之丰盛与财富的“无敌磁铁”，从而根本不需要为了生计而将指导商业化。对于任何个体——无论他起初是否完全理解其中的含义——只要他能自觉地意识到：“‘我是’（I AM）我所使用的神之财富与丰盛的那无所不在、无限的供应。” 他迟早会完全确信这一伟大的真理。
I understand fully how important the financial support of the individual seems to him, but I say to you beloved students that financial support is always as the shifting sands until you begin to consciously apply the use of the "I AM Presence" as your Omnipresent, Limitless Supply of either money, Love, Understanding, Light, or Illumination. So try to receive the full conviction of the Radiation of this which I give to you, that you may use It with a certain, unwavering consciousness which will give you forever your freedom from all financial strain.
我完全理解财务支持对个体而言是多么重要，但我对你们这些挚爱的学生说：在你开始自觉地运用“我是临在”作为你关于金钱、爱、理解、光或启迪的“无所不在、无限的供应”之前，财务支持永远像是流沙一般不稳定。所以，请尝试完全接纳我给予你们的这份光辉，并带着一种确定的、动摇的意识去运用它，这将使你永远从所有的财务压力中获得自由。
Knowing that the "I AM Presence" which you have set or are setting in motion is the same in every other individual on earth as It is in you, and as It is in the Universe, giving you the power and intelligence to make this declaration, then you know that whatever your conscious application implies, It is acting everywhere, just the same as within the present application that you make.
既然你已经启动或正在启动的“我是临在”与地球上其他任何个体以及宇宙中的“临在”是同一个，祂赋予了你发表这一宣告的力量与智慧，那么你就知道，无论你的有意识地应用意味着什么，祂都在各处起着作用，就像你目前所做的应用一样。
Heretofore I have hesitated to give you this very definite application, or explanation of this application, but your earnest demand has impelled it forth. I send with this a certain specific Radiation which will enable you to use it with absolute confidence.
此前，我一直犹豫是否要给你们这个非常明确的应用或解释，但你们诚挚的需求促使它被传达了出来。我随此发送一份特定的光辉，使你们能够带着绝对的信心去运用它。
The student should always remember it is only by conscious effort that he can keep his mind at peace so this Inner Power may flow through unhampered to the accomplishment of his desire. As a child in school, you were given certain problems to solve, for instance, we will say, in mathematics. At the same time you were given the means by which to accomplish it. If you did not make your application as directed, you of course would not receive your correct answer. Consequently, you kept at it, kept trying and trying until your answer was proved. If you did not understand how to go about it, you went back to your teacher for instruction and found what was required. So it is in the Instruction which is now given you. This application never has and never can fail in the accomplishment of anything to which your attention is directed – if you will but continue to apply It with determination and stick to It until results are in your hands or presence.
学生应当永远记住：唯有通过有意识的努力，他才能保持心境的平和，从而使这份内在力量能够毫无阻碍地流向他所渴望达成的目标。就像学校里的孩子，老师会给你们一些题目去解答——比如数学题。与此同时，老师也会给你们达成结果的手段。如果你不按照指示去应用（法则），你当然得不到正确的答案。因此，你会不断尝试、努力，直到答案得到验证。如果你不明白如何着手，你会回到老师那里寻求指导，找出要求是什么。现在给予你们的指导也是如此。这项应用在达成注意力所聚焦的任何事物上从未失败过，也绝不会失败——只要你愿意带着决心持续应用它，并坚持下去，直到结果呈现在你的手中或面前。
Now here let Me call your attention to a most powerful Explanation which Jesus the Christ gave you in His own Words: that in all the teaching He received through the various avenues, and I assure you, some of them were very great, it was only His instruction, conscientiously applied, that finally brought to Him, or revealed to Him from Within, the many amazing, magical Statements, one of which was: " 'I AM' the Resurrection and the Life." It was this Statement which He used that enabled Him to give the example to humanity which will last throughout the centuries.
现在，请允许我提请你们注意耶稣基督用祂自己的话给予你们的一个极有力的解释：在祂通过各种途径所接受的所有教导中（我向你们保证，其中有些是非常伟大的），正是祂对这些指导的尽责应用，最终为祂带来了、或者说从内在向祂揭示了许多令人惊叹、具有魔力的陈述，其中之一便是：“‘我是’（I AM）那复活与生命。” 正是祂运用的这一陈述，使祂能为人类树立起流传千古的典范。
Whatever demand you make of the Universal, All-knowing Presence wherein you use the Words "I AM," it must bring the same definite, certain results that His Statements brought Him when He declared: " 'I AM' the Resurrection and the Life." Try earnestly to feel the mighty importance of this.
无论你对那宇宙的、全知的临在提出何种要求，只要其中使用了“我是”（I AM）这两个字，它必然会带来同样明确、肯定的结果，就像耶稣宣告“‘我是’那复活与生命”时为祂带来的结果一样。请诚挚地尝试去感受这一点的伟大重要性。
Here let Me caution and assure you with great emphasis, that no matter who or what you are, what place you may be in from the growth standpoint, when you make application with the Words "I AM," you positively cannot fail to accomplish that to which you apply Them – if you will hold fast with unwavering determination.
在此，我要带着极大的强调来告诫并向你们保证：无论你是谁、是什么样的人，从成长的角度来看你处于什么位置，当你运用“我是”（I AM）这两个字进行（谕令的）应用时，你绝对不可能失败——只要你以不动摇的决心紧紧持守。
Beloved Students, I feel the Great Love sent to Me and never fail to respond to it.
挚爱的学生们，我感受到了你们传达给我的伟大的爱，并且从未停止过对此作出回应。
Always first give your Great Love and Adoration to your own "I AM Presence," the Master-Self, then to those who may be able to assist you. Many of you are making wonderful strides. Go forth with certainty in your hearts, always being aware: " 'I AM' the Conquering, Victorious Presence in any achievement I desire; that 'I AM' now the Full Dominion of every application that I make; that 'I AM the Presence' always within every demand, supplying, and fulfilling it."
请永远首先将你伟大的爱与崇敬献给你自己的“我是临在”，即那“大师自我”（Master-Self），然后再献给那些能够协助你的人。你们中的许多人正迈出惊人的步伐。带着心中的确定感前行吧，永远意识到：“在任何我渴望的成就中，‘我是’（I AM）那征服一切、胜利的临在；在我所做的每一项应用中，‘我是’（I AM）现在那圆满的主权；在每一个要求中，‘我是’（I AM）那始终同在的、供应并圆满它的‘临在’。”
There is no mental state that shuts the door against the very thing you are striving for like a feeling of distress about it. On the other hand, the proper attitude is to joyously take the stand that: " 'I AM the Presence' which enables me to see or hear with the Inner Sight and Hearing;" and at no time to let one's self become disturbed because another is using a faculty different from one's own, but rather rejoice in it.
没有任何一种心态比“忧虑/困扰”（Distress）更像一扇紧闭的大门，将你正努力追求的事物拒之门外。相反，正确的态度应当是欢欣地持守这一立场：“‘我是（I AM）那临在’，使我能以‘内在视觉’与‘内在听觉’去看见或听见。” 并且在任何时候都不要因为别人拥有与你不同的能力而感到困扰，反而要为此感到欢欣。
The teacher or student should be quick to realize that no ignorance of the outer activity of the mind should have any power at any time to disturb him, even though directed at him personally.
老师或学生应当迅速意识到：外在心智活动的任何无知（Ignorance），在任何时候都不应有权干扰他，即便这种无知是针对他个人的。
At all times, turn to your own "I AM Presence" and demand to know and see clearly the plan that you should follow.
在所有时刻，转向你自己的“我是临在”，并要求知晓并清晰地看见你应当遵循的计划。
The Masters' Pictures and the Instruction should be considered a sacred thing to the students. Adhere always to the time-worn Statement: "To know, to dare, to do, and to be silent," because when students begin to discuss these things with unsympathetic individuals, they scatter the force instead of holding it within for their own Illumination.
大师们的画像以及这些指导对学生来说应当被视为神圣之物。请始终遵循那句经久不衰的名言：“知晓、勇敢、行动、并保持沉默”（To know, to dare, to do, and to be silent）。因为当学生开始与那些并无同情心（或不理解）的人讨论这些事情时，他们是在分散力量，而不是为了自己的启迪而将其持守在内在。
I say this with all the vehemence of My Being: let the student forever remember that it is impossible to have a selfish desire or intent when reaching to the "Master I AM Presence" for Love, Wisdom, Power and Illumination. As an illustration, I might say, and I am sure he will not object, that this good Brother is the only student I have ever known who has completely governed that impelling force to become a teacher – which always asserts itself somewhere along the pathway of the student.
我以我生命的全部力量说出这句话：让学生永远记住，当向“大师我是临在”寻求爱、智慧、权能与启迪时，是不可能持有自私的欲望或意图的。作为一个例子，我想说（我确信他不会反对）：这位好兄弟（指使者）是我所见过的唯一一个完全掌控了那种“急于为人师”的冲动力量的学生——这种冲动总是在学生修行的某个阶段跳出来。
It is not that the desire is an unworthy one, but in so many, many instances, the students, attempting it too soon – before they are sufficiently fortified mentally – meet with obstruction which they are not able to stand against, and they become permanently discouraged from further effort, defeating the wonderful work that they might have accomplished later.
这并不是说这种愿望不可取，而是在太多太多的案例中，学生们尝试得太早了——在他们的心智还没有得到充分的强化（Fortified）之前——他们遇到了无法抵抗的阻碍，从而变得永久性地气馁，挫败了他们原本可以在日后成就的精彩工作。
The most important thing in any student's Life is the Love and Adoration to his own "Mighty I AM Presence," with patience to the extent that he becomes so anchored in his Mighty Presence that he is always fortified by It.
在任何学生的生命中，最重要的事就是对他自己“伟大的我是临在”的爱与崇敬，并保持耐心，直到他如此深地锚定在“伟大的临在”中，以至于他始终受到“祂”的强化。
An individual who is a stirring-stick can do more damage in one hour than you realize. Anyone whom you can once get to apply the "I AM Presence" earnestly will never backslide. "I AM" determined to keep the "I AM Presence" before the students so they realize that they are using a Mighty Intelligence, Power and Love – and that they are setting It into action.
一个“搅屎棍”（Stirring-stick，指挑拨离间或制造混乱的人）在一小时内造成的破坏可能超出你的想象。任何只要能被引导去认真运用“我是临在”的人，都绝不会退缩。我决心将“我是临在”始终置于学生面前，好让他们意识到自己正在使用一种伟大的智能、权能与爱——并且他们正在将其投入行动。
Jesus came of His own Volition and gave to the students the Way He accomplished the overcoming of the last enemy.
耶稣凭着祂自己的意志而来，向学生们传授了祂战胜这“最后的敌人”（指死亡/肉体局限）的方法。
It takes enormous strength to stand your ground. There is nothing can give you permanent success in the outer activity except the conscious use of the "I AM Presence." Stand adamant against the thing that would sway you off. Take the stand often: "I know what I am doing and I am doing it." You may sometimes have to say very strong things in order to shut off interference, but do not be susceptible to it.
坚守你的立场需要巨大的力量。除了有意识地运用“我是临在”之外，没有任何事物能让你在外在活动中获得永久的成功。要像磐石般坚定，对抗那些试图动摇你的事物。经常持守这一立场：“我知道我在做什么，并且我正在做这件事。” 有时为了隔绝干扰，你可能不得不说一些非常强硬的话，但绝不要受其（干扰）影响。
Decide what you want to do and then say: " 'I AM the Presence' doing it." The use of the "I AM" prevents the development of anything out of balance. "I AM" is the All-Balance, because It is the Power and Governing Intelligence of all Perfection. Its very Activity compels the Balance.
决定你想做什么，然后宣告：“‘我是临在’正在做这件事。” 对“我是”（I AM）的运用能防止任何失衡状态的发展。 “我是”即是“全平衡”（All-Balance），因为祂是所有完美的权能与统治智能。祂的活动本身就会强制达成平衡。
The "I AM" Command is the activity of the thing that is already there, impelling it into the outer activity. There are several in America now who, if they would take Jesus' stand: " 'I AM' the Resurrection and the Life," and live in it day after day, would raise the body as sure as the world. You cannot use the words "I AM" with anything and not couple with it the power to do the thing.
“我是”（I AM）的命令，是驱动已然存在之物投入“外在活动”的引擎。现在美国有几个人，如果他们愿意像耶稣那样持守“‘我是’（I AM）那复活与生命”的立场，并日复一日地生活在其中，他们绝对能像在这个世界上发生过的那样实现身体的扬升。当你将“我是”（I AM）与任何事物结合使用时，你不可能不将达成该事物的权能也与之耦合。
There are two things retarding to a student's spiritual growth. One is when the husband or wife does not agree with one's efforts, and the other is outside suggestion. You have your "I AM Presence" which is All-Intelligence, so make yourselves adamant against suggestions of any kind – good or bad.
阻碍学生灵性成长的有两件事：一是配偶不支持自己的努力，二是外界的暗示（Suggestion）。既然你拥有全知的“我是临在”，就要让自己像磐石般坚定，对抗任何形式的暗示——无论好坏。
Sometime We will devote an entire Discourse to the wise handling of the psychic. There is not one out of ten thousand who understands that the awakening of the sight into the psychic plane is not a spiritual thing. When people begin to see on the psychic plane, they are but using the physical sight a little expanded and do not know it.
将来我们会专门安排一章来谈论如何明智地处理“通灵/灵媒”（Psychic）事物。在一万个人中，甚至找不到一个能理解这一点：开启通灵层面的视觉并非灵性之举。当人们开始在通灵层面看见东西时，他们只不过是在使用稍稍扩张后的肉眼视觉，而他们自己并不知道。
In the psychic realm, the suggestions given offer just enough Truth to anchor interest and hold the attention, until psychic forces get a good hold on the person. This always comes through the fascination of the phenomena. When one focuses the attention upon the "I AM Presence," it will draw him into the fullness of the "I AM Presence."
在通灵领域，那些暗示会提供恰到好处的“真理”来锚定你的兴趣并抓住注意力，直到通灵力量牢牢控制住此人。这通常是通过对奇特现象的迷恋来实现的。而当一个人将注意力聚焦于“我是临在”时，这会将他带入“我是临在”的圆满之中。
The inhabitants of the elements are used for all activities of Nature, but they do not prevent other forces acting, and they are not the only activities in Nature. There are times when these Great Cosmic Beings direct their attention to Nature.
元素生命的居民被用于自然界的一切活动，但它们并不妨碍其他力量的运作，它们也不是自然界唯一的活动。有些时候，伟大的宇宙存有会直接将注意力转向大自然。
Every thought sent forth by an Ascended or Cosmic Being contains within it a Perfected Form. If that Being's Idea is on the manifestation of snow, or whatever it is, it would take on the Perfection which was within His Thought, because all thought carries form.
扬升存有或宇宙存有发出的每一个念头，内部都包含一个完美的形式（Perfected Form）。如果那位存有的念头是关于雪的显化，或其他任何事物，它都会呈现出祂念头内部的完美，因为所有的思想都携带着形式。
Say: " 'I AM the Presence' entering into and revealing to my outer consciousness this activity." Then the outer mind would get the full Inner Activity and bring It into your outer activity.
请宣告：“‘我是临在’（I AM the Presence）进入并向我的外在意识揭示这项活动。” 随后，外在心智就会获得完整的内在活动，并将其带入你的外在活动中。
When people enter into the psychic plane, everything is distorted, and they have no definite proof of the Truth. Those beings in the psychic plane who seek to get others under their control begin to prophesy, and it is one of the first things they do. No one can take a stand against a Messenger of the Light and not receive the reaction into themselves, because the Light repels all that is unlike Itself.
当人们进入通灵层面时，一切都是扭曲的，他们没有真理的确凿证据。通灵层面中那些寻求控制他人的存有，最先做的事情之一就是进行预言。没有人能在反对光的使者的同时而不遭受反作用，因为光会排斥一切与其自身不符的事物。
BENEDICTION: Out of the fullness of Thy Mighty Opulence, O "Mighty I AM," we feel Thy Flowing Energy. We feel Thy Enfolding Love. We feel Thy Qualifying Presence, hastening all who turn to Thee into Thy Perfection. We feel Thy Glorious Presence enfolding them in Thy Mighty Mantle of Peace, enabling them to maintain Perfect Self-control, sustaining them in Thy Mighty Perfection, that they may manifest Thy Mighty Presence – now.
祝福：噢，“伟大的我是”（Mighty I AM），从祢那伟大的丰盛圆满中，我们感受到祢流动的能量。我们感受到祢环绕的爱。我们感受到祢那赋予特质的临在，正加速引领所有转向祢的人进入祢的完美。我们感受到祢那荣耀的临在，正用祢伟大的平安斗篷将他们包裹，使他们能够维持完美的自我掌控，并在祢伟大的完美中支撑着他们，好让他们在此时此刻显现祢伟大的临在。
