DISCOURSE XXIV
December 22, 1932
SAINT GERMAIN
INVOCATION: Thou Infinite, All-Loving Presence! We feel Thy Peace, Thy Love and Thy Wisdom pervading all – everywhere. Knowing there is but the One Mighty Presence of which we are a part, we know Thou art omnipresent, pouring Thyself forth, filling every need on demand, lifting the consciousness of mankind unto Thee, and holding it anchored there until the "Light of Eternal Life" fills all Beings with Its Radiance, carrying them forward with that Inner Impulse to eternal, permanent recognition of the "Great I AM."
祈请:祢这无限、大爱的临在!我们感受到祢的平安、祢的爱与祢的智慧弥漫在各处——无所不在。深知只有这唯一的伟大临在,而我们亦是其中的一部分;我们知晓祢是全在的,正倾注祢自身,按需满足每一个需求,将人类的意识提升至祢,并使其锚定在那儿,直到“永恒生命之光”以其光辉充满所有众生,带着那份内在的冲动,引领他们走向对“伟大的我是(Great I AM)”永恒且持久的体认。
I bring you Greetings from the Great Ascended Host and especially from Nada, Cha Ara, Chan, and Diana, Goddess of Fire.
我为你们带来伟大的扬升众师的问候,特别来自:纳达(Nada)、查·阿拉(Cha Ara)、陈(Chan),以及火之女神——戴安娜(Diana)。
THE DISCOURSE
As the consciousness of the students is raised into the activity of the higher, or Fire Element, everything in their Being begins to act with an intensity that many times they do not understand; and as they begin to work more from the Fire Element standpoint, the more necessary it is to keep up the guard.
随着学生的意识提升到更高层面,即“火元素”的活动中,他们存在中的一切都开始以一种他们往往无法理解的强度运作;而当他们越来越多地从火元素的立场出发进行工作时,保持警觉就变得愈发必要。
The training which We are endeavoring to give forth to bless, protect and enlighten the students is to train one's self to be on guard at all times; and while all should understand and with every effort use the "I AM Presence" to maintain Self-control, yet if something happens unexpectedly, to stand serene in spite of it.
我们正致力于传授给学生以赐福、保护和启迪的训练,就是训练自己时刻保持警觉;虽然所有人都应当理解并尽一切努力运用“我是临在”来维持自我掌控,但如果发生了意料之外的事,尽管如此也要泰然自若。
Use the Statement frequently: " 'I AM the Presence' on guard."
经常使用这一宣告:“‘我是’(I AM)那在守卫着的临在。”
If something unexpected happens, just say: "We will dismiss this," and go on in that joyous happiness. Try not to have any feeling, but to know: " 'I AM the Mighty Presence' governing everyone's activity."
如果发生了意外,只需说:“我们要屏除这件事,” 然后继续保持在那份喜悦的幸福中。尽量不要产生任何(负面)情感,而是要去知晓:“‘我是’(I AM)统治每个人活动的那股伟大的力量。”
Whenever there is a Center of Light of the Intensity of this focus, there is always the disturbing element that would seek to enter through someone. If you are working about the house, keep using: " 'I AM' proof against any sudden disturbance." This sets up a certain armor that will keep the atmosphere harmonized.
每当出现像这一焦点如此强度的“光之中心”时,总会有干扰因素试图通过某个人进入。如果你在家里干活,请持续使用:“‘我是’(I AM)防御任何突然干扰的防弹装甲。” 这会建立起某种盔甲,使周遭的大气保持和谐。
Use often: " 'I AM the Presence' which nothing can disturb."
经常使用:“‘我是’(I AM)那没有任何事物能干扰的临在。”
Always hold yourselves in a joyous, calm attitude, regardless of anything that takes place.
无论发生什么,始终让自己保持在一种喜悦、冷静的态度中。
For one you wish to help, say: "Here pal, through the 'I AM Presence,' we give you the strength to control that."
对于你想帮助的人,请说:“嘿朋友,通过‘我是临在’,我们给你掌控那局面的力量。”
The very marvelous manner and radiation of your two classes this week was the most remarkable thing I have ever seen in classes of students. The great Love and Harmony within the hearts of these students, maintained a sufficient length of time, makes almost anything possible. It is a rare thing. Here are three classes in which the same Love and Harmony is maintained.
本周你们两个班级表现出的美妙仪态与光辉,是我在学生课堂中所见过的最卓越的表现。这些学生心中伟大的爱与和谐,只要维持足够长的时间,几乎能让任何事情成为可能。这非常罕见。现在有三个班级都维持着同样的爱与和谐。
Do you feel the Great Wave of Peace and Joy that came like a breath of a spring morning? I will explain, so you may see how far-reaching is that wonderful, Loving Care.
你感受到那股如春日晨曦般的平安与喜悦之巨浪了吗?我将进行解释,好让你们看到那奇妙、慈爱的关怀是多么深远。
The Great Master whom Jesus contacted and who enabled Him to gain the Victory is the same One who was My Teacher, and It was His Radiation which came just now. He wishes Me to tell you that: "As you pass along the Pathway of Light, you will find the easiest way to overcome disturbance is to turn away from a thing – and forget it." You may have this Master's Name later.
那位耶稣曾接触并使其赢得胜利的伟大导师,与我的老师是同一位,刚才降临的正是祂的光辉。祂希望我转告你们:“当你行走在光之路径上时,你会发现克服干扰最简单的方法就是转身离开它——并忘掉它。” 晚些时候你会知晓这位大师的名字。
To wrong activities say: "That is not correct," and then quickly pass it off. This avoids a disturbance which builds.
对于错误的活动,请说:“那是不正确的,” 然后迅速将其抛诸脑后。这能避免干扰的累积。
As we reach into the Light, we are one Great Family. Knowing that there is but the "One Great I AM Presence" everywhere, you, being the individualization of That, there can only be the one Great Family, Children of the One God.
当我们触及“光”时,我们就是一个伟大的家庭。深知各处只有那“唯一伟大的我是临在”,而你作为“祂”的个体化表现,便只能有一个伟大的家庭,即那唯一之神的儿女。
In the very first place, let this be understood: if a worthy individual is critical, say with very definite certainty: "There is no one who wishes to intrude this upon your free will. We do not mind sincere questioning, but we do not tolerate criticism nor argument."
首先,请明白这一点:如果一个值得交往的个体表现出吹毛求疵,请非常肯定地说:“没有人想要将这意志强加于你的自由意志之上。我们不介意真诚的质疑,但我们不容忍批评或争论。”
The Messenger must refuse acceptance to the discordant things by pouring out the Love Element, so the discord may be consumed. The Messenger must be fortified or else the work is left half undone. No class or work of the Messenger can be sustained if the Messenger allows argument or discordant feeling to generate.
使者必须通过倾注“爱的元素”来拒绝接纳不和谐的事物,从而使不和谐被吞噬。使者必须得到强化,否则工作就会半途而废。如果使者允许争论或不和谐的情感产生,那么使者的任何课程或工作都无法维持。
It is very difficult for the average individual to understand that the quickest way to stop any kind of disturbance is to stop discussing it.
普通人很难理解,停止任何干扰最快的方法就是停止讨论它。
The thing in your own aura is the only thing that needs attention. The thing recorded in your atmosphere can only come through your feeling.
你气场(Aura)内的事物是唯一需要关注的事。记录在你大气(Atmosphere)中的事物只能通过你的感受进入。
The spoken word, unless there is a sense of condemnation or anger back of it, will not record inharmony on your Inner atmosphere.
除非说话者背后带有谴责或愤怒的情绪,否则说出的话语不会在你的内在真气(Inner atmosphere)中记录下不和谐。
Of the two undesirable conditions, it is far better that one explode and get a thing off his mind than to hold the feeling within of resentment, or of being hurt, for that is what registers on your Inner Atmosphere. From My standpoint, I see what is registering in your feelings, and therefore on the Inner Atmosphere.
在两种不可取的情况中,一个人爆发出来并把事情从脑子里赶走,也要比在内心深处怀揣怨恨或受伤害的感觉好得多,因为后者才是真正记录在你的内在真气之中的。从我的视角,我能看到什么是记录在你的感受中的,从而也就是记录在内在真气之中的。
You know how a carbuncle forms. Well let me tell you that in your mental world exactly the same thing takes place as the physical carbuncle expresses on the physical body.
你知道“痈”(Carbuncle)是如何形成的。那么让我告诉你,在你的心智世界中,发生的事情与物理上的“痈”在肉体上的表现完全一样。
It is most important to do something to keep yourselves from harboring a feeling against persons, places, things or conditions, for these build and record on the Inner Atmosphere.
最重要的是采取行动,让自己不要对人、地方、事物或状况心存芥蒂,因为这些会在内在真气中累积并留下记录。
If the desire comes: "I wish so and so would do this or that," check it immediately and say: "There is only God in action there."
如果产生这种念头:“我希望某某人能做这个或那个,”请立即制止它并宣告:“在那里只有神在行动。”
When a feeling is registered in your atmosphere, it is anchored there until you dissolve or consume it. It is always the feeling that makes the Inner record. There is no use consuming a thing if you do not break the habit of generating the cause. One can easily conquer this by saying: " 'I AM' in command here."
当一种感受被记录在你的大气中时,它就会在那儿锚定,直到你将其溶解或吞噬。永远是“感受”在制造内在记录。如果你不打破制造问题的习惯,那么仅仅吞噬现象是没有用的。一个人可以通过宣告:“‘我是’(I AM)这里的统御者,”来轻易征服这一点。
Do not let your feelings run rampant.
不要让你的感受肆意妄为。
Many times individuals are brought together for the sole purpose of compelling them to correct these subtle activities which most people pay no attention to whatsoever. This is a matter of stilling the outer in order that the Truth may be received. This is so vital in the individual's Self-correction.
很多时候,个体被聚集在一起,唯一的目的就是强迫他们去纠正这些微妙的活动——而大多数人对此根本不予理会。这是一个静默外在心智的过程,以便能够接收到真理。这在个体的自我纠偏中至关重要。
As you rise in consciousness, the energy is waiting like an avalanche for expression; and if the energy is not controlled, it will rush in and cause you to do things that you would not have done for the world. Whatever energy is given into your use is to be sent out harmoniously. That is the Natural Law of your Being.
随着你意识的提升,能量就像雪崩一样等待着表达;如果能量没有得到控制,它会奔涌而出,促使你做出一些你绝不会去做的事情。任何交给你使用的能量,都必须和谐地发送出去。那是你存在的自然法则。
If one does not understand that he is to govern the energy flowing through him and he contacts a discordant element, the energy flowing through becomes qualified by that discord, and he should immediately either check it or requalify it with Love. In my experience, if I met a discordant element, I simply said: "Here! I shut my door – you stay out."
如果一个人不理解他必须统御流经他的能量,而他又接触到了不和谐的元素,那么流经他的能量就会被那份不和谐赋予特质(Qualified),此时他应当立即阻断它,或者用“爱”去重新赋予其特质。根据我的经验,如果我遇到了不和谐的元素,我只需简单地说:“喂!我关门了——你待在外面。”
The Universal energy flowing through you is naturally harmonious. Shut your door and then figure out who's the matter.
流经你的宇宙能量本质上是和谐的。先关上门,然后再去搞清楚是怎么回事。
People resist persons, places, conditions and things because they have not mastered themselves. The students must maintain this Self-governed harmony within themselves long enough to let the momentum be created – which becomes the permanent guard.
人们之所以排斥他人、地方、状况和事物,是因为他们还没有掌控自己。学生必须在内部维持这种自我统御的和谐足够长的时间,以产生一种动量(Momentum)——这便成了永久的守卫。
If one will maintain harmony within himself, I tell you, he will draw all good things unto him. The unfailing prompter is that the moment one expresses some kind of discord, he is to realize that he is the one to blame. There needs to be no written thing to warn anyone.
我告诉你,如果一个人能维持内在的和谐,他将吸引所有美好的事物向他汇聚。那个绝不出错的“提醒者”就是:当一个人表达出某种不和谐的瞬间,他就要意识到,自己才是那个该被归因(责备)的人。不需要任何文字记录来警告任何人。
The moment there is something discordant, it is the prompter warning you to get busy on yourself. Each individual is his own guard and prompter at all times. There is only One Power in the world that can correct anything, and that is the "I AM Presence" in each one. If you refuse to recognize that you are the creators of your own disturbance, how can you ever correct it or be free from it?
不和谐产生的瞬间,就是提醒你开始“处理自己”的警报。每个个体在任何时候都是他自己的守卫和提醒者。世界上只有一种权能可以纠正任何事物,那就是每个个体内的“我是临在”。如果你拒绝承认你就是自己骚乱的制造者,你又怎能纠正它或从中获得自由呢?
There is no person, place, condition or thing that warrants your ever being disturbed, with the ever-present "I AM Presence" beating your hearts each moment and Who is ever All-powerful.
既然那永恒临在、赋予你心跳且全能的“我是临在”每时每刻都与你同在,那么就没有任何人、地方、状况或事物值得你产生困扰。
If one will correct himself on these discordant feelings, he will let the "Great I AM Presence" flood his world with all Perfection. If the individual will not correct himself, how can he ever gain the Eternal Victory?
如果一个人能在这些不和谐的感受上纠正自己,他就会让“伟大的我是临在”将所有的完美灌注进他的世界。如果一个个体不纠正自己,他又怎能获得那永恒的胜利?
The "I AM Presence" is the All-power of the Universe to make this correction. Let the "I AM Presence" flow until It washes everything clean.
“我是临在”是宇宙中进行这种纠偏的全能权能。让“我是临在”流动,直到祂将一切洗涤干净。
When your attention is fixed firmly upon the "I AM Presence," which you are, it is as though your body were a fine sponge through which this Pure Energy is pouring, cleansing it of all imperfection.
当你将注意力坚定地固定在作为你自身的“我是临在”之上时,就仿佛你的身体是一块精细的海绵,纯净的能量正流过它,洗净所有不完美。
If you will stop the discord, the "Stream of the 'I AM Presence'" automatically cleanses away all impurities. You thus have an Unlimited Power in your hands to intensify your right commands.
如果你能停止不和谐,“‘我是临在’之流”会自动洗去所有的杂质。如此,你手中便握有一种无限的权能,去加强你正确的命令。
Even from the scientific standpoint, knowing that the cells of the body are renewed in less than a year, if the discord could be shut off for one year, the mind and form would express Eternal Youth and Perfection.
甚至从科学的角度来看,已知身体细胞在不到一年的时间内就会全部更新,如果能隔绝不和谐一年,心智与外形便会显现永恒的青春与完美。
Either from a sense of false pride or something, humanity will not face the Truth that the cause is within themselves. The habit of always blaming the other fellow for what has happened to you is the thing that blinds you to the Truth and prevents Self-correction.
无论是出于虚荣心还是其他原因,人类总是不愿面对“起因就在自身内部”这一真理。总是习惯于为发生在你身上的事去责怪他人,这种习惯蒙蔽了你对真知的觉察,并阻碍了自我纠正。
A wonderful illustration of this is in the beautiful child-form. Until the child is old enough to begin to register the discord about it, its body is beautiful and expresses Perfection. This Perfection of form would always be maintained if there did not enter into the consciousness of the child the discord of the outer world. There are those who would say to me, "What about the child that is born sickly and disturbed?" In most cases, that is a condition brought over from the preceding embodiment, or in rare cases, where there is intense discord between the parents, this may be intense enough to register upon the child; but if you will notice in cases of that kind, as the child begins to grow and develop, it will show less and less of that disturbance. That is absolute proof the discord was not of its own creation, but was imposed upon it by the parents, because the soul was strong enough to rise out of it.
一个极佳的例证就是美丽的孩童。在孩子大到足以开始记录周围的不和谐之前,其身体是美丽的,显现着完美。如果外在世界的不和谐不进入孩子的意识,这种外形的完美将一直维持下去。有些人会问我:“那生来就病弱和受干扰的孩子呢?”在大多数情况下,那是从前世化身中带来的状况;或者在极少数情况下,父母之间存在剧烈的不和谐,其强度足以记录在孩子身上。但你会注意到,在那类案例中,随着孩子开始成长发育,那种干扰会表现得越来越少。这就是绝对的证据:那份不和谐并非孩子自身所造,而是由父母强加于其上的,因为灵魂足够强大,足以从中兴起。
In this particular point, one should understand the amazing conditions of suggestion by which individuals are constantly surrounded.
在这一点上,人们应当理解个体被不断包围着的、惊人的暗示(Suggestion)状况。
For instance, let us take the environment and association of individuals who have been in the habit of going together. In that friendly association, each one is susceptible to the suggestion from the other. If it be discordant, then that association will be broken up sooner or later by one grand row. However, seventy-five per cent of the individuals moving about in the outer world are not aware that they are taking on suggestion – either from association, environment, or conditions out-pictured before them.
例如,让我们以那些习惯聚在一起的个体的环境与交往为例。在那种友好的交往中,每一个人都易受他人暗示的影响。如果暗示是不和谐的,那么这种交往早晚会因为一场大吵大闹而破裂。然而,在外在世界走动的个体中,有百分之七十五的人并没有意识到自己正在接受暗示——无论这暗示是来自社交、环境,还是展现在他们眼前的状况。
The correct attitude of the student who becomes aware of his "I AM Presence" is immediately to take the firm stand that: "'I AM' invincibly protected against any imperfect suggestion." Thus one can build about himself an atmosphere which will immediately repel all suggestions that seek to intrude wherein there is a destructive element.
意识到自己“我是临在”的学生,正确的态度是立即采取坚定的立场:“‘我是’(I AM)无敌地防御任何不完美的暗示。” 如此,一个人便能在自己周围建立一种大气,立即排斥所有试图侵入的、含有破坏性元素的暗示。
I think it necessary to call your attention to your old copy books which said: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." There is no way to gain Victory and Dominion over limitation except to keep at it until you accomplish it. If you question your accomplishment, you are postponing your Victory that much longer.
我认为有必要提醒你们注意那些旧习字本上的话:“如果起初没有成功,尝试,再尝试。”除了坚持不懈直到达成,没有任何方法能赢得对局限的胜利与统御。如果你质疑自己的成就,你就是在成倍地推迟胜利的到来。
Those students who really begin to understand that in the recognition and use of their "I AM Presence" they have the Universal Power at their command, then they know it is impossible to fail in their application, because the more they use It, the more of Its sustaining Power they have.
那些真正开始理解在承认并运用“我是临在”中、他们拥有宇宙权能可供调遣的学生,他们知道在应用中是不可能失败的;因为他们越是使用“祂”,就越能拥有“祂”那支撑性的权能。
Every time you feel a Christ Manifestation, say: "I praise Thee and accept the Light of Thy Presence, the 'Full I AM Activity.'" Take this attitude always, and then you shut the door to any undesirable creation from those who have passed on.
每当你感受到基督的显现(Christ Manifestation)时,请说:“我赞美祢,并接纳祢临在的光,那‘圆满的我是活动’。” 始终保持这种态度,如此你便对那些已逝者的任何不可取的造物关上了大门。
Always remember that you are the Master of what shall come into your thought world, and unless you realize that you are the Master, you are susceptible to all kinds of thoughts and feelings.
始终记住,你是进入你思想世界的事物的主人;除非你意识到自己是主人,否则你易受各种思想与感受的影响。
For others, know: " 'I AM' the Presence taking ....... into accomplishment."
对于他人,请知晓:“‘我是’(I AM)那将 [某事] 带入达成的临在。”
If you give attention to a condition of disturbance, you are giving power to something else but your "I AM Presence."
如果你关注某种骚乱的状况,你就是在将力量赋予“我是临在”之外的事物。
BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty, Infinite "I AM Presence"! We rejoice in Thy Ceaseless Outpouring, Thy Enfolding Presence, protecting and governing the Life of these beloved students. Help them to enter into the Fullness of Thy Presence with no uncertainty, that they may bless mankind wherever they may be or go. Intensify Thy wondrous Light within the outer activity, that each one may become a great channel to heal, to bless, to prosper, and to enlighten.
祝福:祢这伟大、无限的“我是临在”!我们因祢那永无止息的倾注、祢那环绕的临在而欢欣,祂保护并统御着这些挚爱学生的生命。帮助他们毫无疑虑地进入祢临在的圆满之中,好让他们无论身在何处、去往何方都能祝福人类。在外界活动中加强祢奇妙的光,使每一个人都成为疗愈、祝福、致富与启迪的伟大管道。
