SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: Thou Mighty, Infinite Presence! All-Enfolding Love! Infinite in Thy Activity, gracious in Thy Loving Power, we salute Thee heart to heart, face to face, pouring forth eternal gratitude for the outpouring of Thy Mighty Energy, for the use of Thy Directing Wisdom, for the Presence of Thy Opulence in our homes and use. We acclaim ourselves that active part of Thee, Self-conscious of Thy Divinity, maintaining every hour Thy Supreme Command.

祈请：祢这伟大、无限的临在！包裹万物的爱！祢的活动是无限的，祢大爱的权能是仁慈的，我们以心对心、面对面地向祢致敬，为祢那伟大能量的倾注，为你指引性智慧的运用，为你彰显在我们家庭与用途中的丰盛临在，献上永恒的感激。我们宣告自己是祢活跃的一部分，对祢的神性具有有意识地觉知，并每小时都维持着祢的最高统御。

I bring you Greetings from the Great Host who minister, and who watch all activity.

我为你们带来伟大众师的问候，祂们正在事奉并注视着一切活动。

THE DISCOURSE

We all rejoice exceedingly in the wondrous, loving presence of the students – for the great harmony, joy, and accomplishment that has been attained.

我们为学生们奇妙而充满爱的临在感到无比欣喜——为了已经达成的伟大和谐、喜悦与成就。

How mighty that Miracle-Working Presence, "I AM," can and will manifest Its Dominion if such a wonderful state is maintained; and I tell you with no uncertainty, it can be maintained, ever growing greater and greater in the comprehension of that God Presence in Its Supreme Power of Divine Love.

如果这种美妙的状态得以维持，那股行神迹的“我是”（I AM）临在，能够并将显现出“祂”的统御权；我极其肯定地告诉你们，这种状态是可以维持的，并且在对那拥有神圣之爱最高权能的神圣临在之领悟中，它将日益增长。

Every student should remember with definite certainty that in this Quickening Power of the "I AM Presence" within his Being, everything good or otherwise is stirred into action. If there is latent within the consciousness: rebellion, resentment, or the inclination to judge, it means that all this will be stirred and brought to the surface to be consumed; and I tell you with no uncertainty, unless the student consciously consumes that which is brought forth to the surface, it will consume him. If one finds himself becoming irritated, he should seize the reins, and issuing the command through the "I AM Presence," declare that this be governed harmoniously. Here let Me again remind the students that the greatest thing in their progress is Self-correction; and there is no person, place, condition or thing to blame for what they entertain but themselves. This is most imperative for their future progress.

每一位学生都应当极其肯定地记住：在他存在之内的这股“我是临在”的加速之力（Quickening Power）中，一切美好的或其它的事物都会被搅动并投入活动。如果在意识中潜伏着：反抗、怨恨或评判的倾向，这意味着所有这些都会被搅动并带到表面，以便被吞噬；我极其肯定地告诉你们，除非学生有意识地吞噬那些被带到表面的东西，否则这些东西就会吞噬他。如果一个人发现自己变得恼火，他应当握紧缰绳，通过“我是临在”发出指令，宣告这件事必须被和谐地统御。在这里，让我再次提醒学生们，在他们的进步中最伟大的事情就是自我纠正（Self-correction）；除了他们自己之外，没有任何人、地方、状况或事物可以为他们所持守的负面念头负责。这对他们未来的进步至关重要。

These beloved students have arrived at a point where such subtle conditions must be made clear and thoroughly understood; otherwise they will find themselves facing conditions they are unable to govern.

这些挚爱的学生已经到达了一个点，在此时，这些微妙的情况必须被阐明并透彻理解；否则，他们会发现自己正面临着无法统御的局面。

I repeat again to the students to be greatly encouraged because of the strides they are making in Self-control, the fuller and fuller acceptance of these Mighty Laws of Life, and their willingness to apply the mighty whip of Self-correction; for I tell you frankly and I speak from experience, that the outer activity which we term the "human" has to be flayed with no uncertainty before it is brought under subjection to the Divine Command.

我再次对学生们说，要因为你们在自我掌控方面所取得的进步、对这些伟大的生命法则越来越圆满的接纳，以及你们应用“自我纠偏”之鞭的意愿而备受鼓舞；因为我坦率地告诉你们，并基于经验而谈：在我们称之为“人类”的外在活动被带入并服从神圣指令（Divine Command）之前，必须对其进行毫不含糊的磨练（Flayed）。

The reason I gave the use of the Ray or Flame through the hand is because the minds of some are attuning more rapidly than the atomic structure of the body is being raised. This activity of passing the hand over the body will maintain and sustain that equalization of the quickening of the mind and the raising of the atomic structure to its balancing point.

我之所以教给你们通过手来运用光束或火焰的方法，是因为有些人的心智协调速度比身体原子结构的提升速度更快。这种用手在身体上拂过的动作，将维持并支撑心智加速与原子结构提升至平衡点之间的对等。

I am so happy and willing to give every Assistance to the students, as are Others, but there are certain bounds beyond which We may not go because of the Self-conscious advancement of the students which they must do for themselves.

我非常高兴且愿意为学生们提供一切协助，正如其他大师一样；但由于学生必须通过有意识地进步为自己完成某些工作，因此存在着一些我们不能逾越的界限。

However, every one of them has everything by which to be encouraged; but again let Me urge them that at no time may they divide the attention of the "I AM Presence." To do this means that you are releasing the stream of energy and giving power to outside things and simply delaying your progress.

然而，你们每一个人都有理由受到鼓舞；但让我再次敦促你们：在任何时候都不可分散对“我是临在”的注意力。这样做意味着你在释放能量流并给外在事物赋予力量，这只会推迟你的进步。

I speak from experience. It is not possible to divide the attention, for it must all be given to the "I AM Presence" in order to go beyond a certain point of attainment.

我是基于经验而谈。分散注意力是不可能的，因为为了超越某个成就点，必须将全部注意力都交给“我是临在”。

I do not wish to bring any shock to the students under this Radiation, but I must speak the Truth, that if those beloved students who have been brought under this Radiation are not able to hold their attention entirely upon the "I AM Presence," it will close the door to Our Assistance to them for a long time. This need not be done if the students will follow the direction, make the sincere effort every time the attention wanders off, bring it back with firm determination and say: "I give all power to the 'I AM Presence' which 'I AM'; and I refuse with determination acceptance to anything else ever again. "

我不愿给这一光束下的学生带来任何冲击，但我必须说出真理：如果那些被带入这一光束下的挚爱学生不能将注意力完全保持在“我是临在”之上，那么在很长一段时间内，这都会对他们关闭接受我们协助的大门。如果学生愿意遵循指示，在注意力每次飘走时都做出诚挚的努力，以坚定的决心将其拉回来并宣告：“我将所有的力量都交给我所是的‘我是临在’；我坚决拒绝再接纳任何其它事物，” 那么大门就不必关闭。

I wish to prepare the students that there will come the time when they may not be sustained by Our Messengers, but must rely on their own ability to hold with such a firm grip upon the "I AM Presence" that they will always receive Its Mighty, Sustaining Power.

我希望让学生们做好准备：终有一天，你们可能不再由我们的使者来支撑，而必须依靠你们自己的能力，牢牢抓紧“我是临在”，以便始终接收到“祂”那伟大的支撑力量。

It is useless and a mistake for any student after months of Instruction to each day, or every few days, allow himself to be thrown into a sense of depression or doubt of the Inner Power or his ability to apply It. This childish attitude of mind will in time shut the door if it is not discontinued.

任何学生在接受了数月的指导后，若仍让自己每天或每隔几天就陷入沮丧、或对内在力量及其应用能力产生怀疑，这不仅是徒劳的，更是错误的。如果这种幼稚的心智态度不停止，终将关闭大门。

Each student should take his positive stand the moment discord of any kind attempts to enter into the mind, and assert his Dominion by declaring: " 'I AM' the Almighty Governing Presence of my Life and my world, and 'I AM' the Peace, Harmony and Courage, Self-sustained, which carries me serenely through everything that confronts me."

每当任何形式的不和谐试图进入心智时，每位学生都应采取积极的立场，通过宣告来确认自己的统御权：“‘我是’（I AM）我生命与世界的全能统治临在，‘我是’那自我维持的平安、和谐与勇气，祂使我泰然自若地经历我所面临的一切。”

It is so important that the students have the benefit of the manuscripts that We must discontinue the Instruction until they are completed, for according to their ability to accept that which is illustrated in the manuscripts will the "Great Judge" determine what shall next be given. We may not under any circumstances take the student beyond the point where he is well fortified.

让学生们受益于手稿（Manuscripts）是如此重要，以至于我们必须暂停后续的指导，直到这些手稿完成；因为“伟大的审判者”（Great Judge）将根据学生接纳手稿中所示内容的能力，来决定下一步该给予什么。在任何情况下，我们都不会让学生超越他已稳固设防的程度。

I must say, for the protection of the students, that should certain phenomena manifest about them, to be calm, poised, and unmoved by it at all times and to go serenely along, not allowing their attention to be held by it; for it is not unlikely in this number of students that some may have sufficiently generated energy from past understanding at a certain point to produce certain phenomena. In such a case they should always take the firm stand: " 'I AM' the Governing Presence of this, utilizing it in its highest expression and use."

为了保护学生，我必须说明：如果你们周围显现出某些超自然现象（Phenomena），请在任何时候都保持冷静、从容且不为所动，平静地继续前行，不要让注意力被其吸引。因为在这么多学生中，有些人很可能通过过去的理解在某个点上已经产生了足够的能量，从而制造出某些现象。在这种情况下，他们应当始终采取坚定的立场：“‘我是’（I AM）对此的统治临在，并将其用于最高层面的表达与用途。”

You see, in all this amount of Instruction that has been given, it is but a fragment upon which the student must build. The student must always watch for ideas from within himself upon which to build his expansion.

你们看，在目前已经给予的所有指导中，那仅仅是学生必须赖以构建的“碎片”。学生必须始终留意他内心深处的灵感，并以此为基础来构建他的扩张。

The first premise for every student on earth who wishes to attain permanent achievement is to first remind himself that: " 'I AM' the Presence and Intelligent Activity." This is the first principle and in It he can never go astray.

地球上每一位希望获得永久成就的学生，其首要前提是首先提醒自己：“‘我是’（I AM）那临在与智能的活动。” 这是第一法则，在这一法则中，他永远不会误入歧途。

I assure the beloved students that they need not crave nor desire phenomena, for the Natural Law of their Beings in their sustained progress will produce abundant phenomenal proof as they are ready for it. In this, mark you, I do not in anywise refer to the appearance of any of the Ascended Ones, for that is an entirely different thing and is really not to be taken as phenomenon of any kind.

我向挚爱的学生们保证，他们不需要渴求或欲望超自然现象；因为随着他们持续进步，其自身存在的自然法则会在他们准备好时产出丰富的现象级证明。请注意，在这里，我绝非指代任何扬升大师的显现，因为那是完全不同的两件事，不应被视为任何形式的现象。

I watched with great interest the Inner Activity of the students, Tuesday and Wednesday, and it was very gratifying to see the expansion of that Inner Light within them as the Power of Love grew more intense. It should be remembered by the students that when they say "I AM," they are making the outer activity a Mighty Magnet for the Light to reach and expand. I think it would be very wise for each student to take the attitude at this time, or in the beginning of the use of both the Instruction and the manuscript: " 'Great I AM Presence,' take me within Thyself; there instruct me and cause me to retain the Full Memory of these Inner Instructions."

我带着极大的兴趣观察了学生们周二和周三的内在活动，看到当爱的权能变得更加强烈时，他们内在之光的扩张是令人欣慰的。学生们应当记住，当他们宣告“我是”时，他们正在使外在活动成为吸引“光”到达并扩张的伟大磁铁。我认为，每位学生在此时，或者在开始使用指导和手稿时，采取这种态度是非常明智的：“伟大的我是临在，将我带入祢自身之中；在那儿教导我，并使我保有对这些内在指导的圆满记忆。”

As Messengers of the Light, this training is very essential, but the idea should not in anywise cause anxiety – or tension in the desire to retain, because an attitude of that kind might easily close the outer memory of the Inner experience.

作为光的使者，这种训练是非常必要的，但这种念头绝不应引起焦虑——或者在渴望保有记忆时产生紧张，因为那种态度很容易关闭对外在内在经验的记忆。

I cannot help but smile to myself at the closeness with which some of the students are coming to most surprising things; but I trust they will always find themselves poised and serene in whatever the experience is, knowing that: " 'I AM' the One, Eternal, Self-sustained Life in action," and to forever remove from their consciousness that there is such a condition as so-called death anywhere in the Universe.

看着一些学生正如此接近那些最令人惊讶的事物，我不禁独自微笑；但我相信，无论经历什么，他们始终能保持从容与淡定，并深知：“‘我是’（I AM）那唯一的、永恒的、自我维持的处于行动中的生命。” 并且永远从他们的意识中抹除掉宇宙中存在所谓“死亡”这种状况的念头。

The outer activity of the mind and world is a passing maya, shifting as the sands of the desert, and need never cause anyone the slightest concern, for: " 'I AM' the Eternal Life, knowing no beginning and never finding an end."

心智与世界的外部活动是转瞬即逝的“玛雅”（Maya，幻象），如沙漠中的流沙般变幻莫测，永远不需要引起任何人的丝毫担心，因为：“‘我是’（I AM）那永恒的生命，不知开端，也永无终结。”

Out of the Heart of that Great Silence comes the Ceaseless, Pouring Stream of Life of which each one is an individualized part. That Life is you, Eternally, Perfectly, Self-sustained, and the garments It clothes Itself with are of but little consideration, until one comes to the point of recognition wherein the attainment has prepared him for the "Seamless Garment," Self-sustained, radiant with every prismatic color.

从那“伟大的寂静”之心中，涌流出永不停息的生命之流，每一个人都是其中的一个个体化部分。那生命就是你——永恒的、完美的、自我维持的。至于祂所穿戴的衣裳（肉体）并不重要，直到一个人达到了能够认出“祂”的程度，其成就使他准备好穿上那件“无缝的长袍”——那是自我维持的、闪耀着各种棱镜色彩的光辉。

Then may one indeed rejoice in that Eternal Garment that is Ever-Radiant and Changeless, which has removed him from the wheel of cause and effect and has made him a Being of Cause only. That Cause is the Radiance of Divine Love, ever pouring and evolving from Its Conscious, Self-poised, Radiant God-Center – the Heart of the "I AM Presence" – which is Eternal Youth and Beauty, the All-knowing Presence, containing in Self-conscious action the past, present and future – which after all, are but the One Eternal Now.

那时，人确实可以为那件永恒的长袍而欢欣鼓舞，它是永恒灿烂且恒久不变的，它将人从“因果之轮”中解脱出来，使他成为一个唯有“因”（Cause）的存有。那个“因”，便是神圣之爱的光辉，从其自觉的、淡定的、灿烂的神圣中心——“我是临在”之心——中不断倾注并进化。那是永恒的青春与美丽，是无所不知的临在，在自觉的行动中包含了过去、现在与未来——而归根结底，这一切都只是那“唯一永恒的当下”。

Such is the eternal elimination of all time and space. Then you find your world peopled with Perfect Beings, your buildings decorated with choicest jewels; you, standing in the center of your creation – the "Jewel in the Heart of the Lotus" – Its petals your Mighty Avenues of Its Perfect Activity.

这便是对所有时间与空间的永恒消除。那时，你会发现你的世界充满了完美的众生，你的建筑装饰着最精选的宝石；而你，伫立在你造物的中心——“莲花心中的宝珠”——那一瓣瓣莲花，便是你通往“祂”之完美活动的伟大途径。

Such is a humble picture of that which stands before you, beckoning you into your Perfect, Eternal Home and Radiance.

这就是呈现在你面前的缩影，召唤你进入你完美、永恒的家园与光辉。

You see, I feel that Glorious Radiance, and if each one, especially the students, could center themselves in the Presence of Divine Love and hold themselves there firmly, what wonderful experiences would come to them – if they would shut out the interference of the outer activity of the mind.

你看，我感受到了那份荣耀的光辉。如果每一个人，尤其是学生们，能够将自己聚焦在神圣之爱的临在中心并坚定地持守在那儿，那么——只要他们能屏除外在心智活动的干扰——奇妙的体验将会降临到他们身上。

For one to take the attitude that: " 'I AM' the Presence of Divine Love at all times" would do such wonderful things. To use this Statement and feel it would at all times close the door to the outer activities of the mind.

若一个人采取这种态度：“‘我是’（I AM）时时刻刻神圣之爱的临在，” 将会成就如此奇妙的事。使用这一宣告并去感受它，将随时对心智的外在活动关上大门。

The solution of every problem is always right at hand because the "I AM Presence" always holds everything within It.

每一个问题的解决方案总是近在咫尺，因为“我是临在”始终在祂之内持守着一切。

A demand is the impelling of the solution into expression. "I AM" is the Intelligent, Active Principle within us, the Heart of our Beings, the Heart of the planet and the Heart of the system.

一项要求（Demand），便是促使解决方案进入显化的推力。“我是”是我们内在智能的、活跃的法则，是我们存在的中心，是行星的中心，也是星系的中心。

I cannot refrain from reminding the students again, for they should always know that whenever you say "I AM," you are releasing the One Almighty, Intelligent Energy, Power and Self-sustained Element. Keep at it, and you will come into a condition so supreme, so wonderful.

我不禁要再次提醒学生们，因为你们应当始终知晓，每当你宣告“我是”（I AM）时，你都在释放那唯一的全能、智能的能量、权能与自我维持的元素。坚持下去，你将进入一种如此至高无上、如此奇妙的境界。

When you are looking into the physical sun, you are really looking into the Great Central Sun, the very Heart of the "I AM Presence."

当你注视着物理太阳时，你实际上是在注视着“大中央太阳”，即“我是临在”的中心。

You must take the unconditional stand with your body that: "The 'I AM Presence' governs this physical body completely and compels it into obedience." The more attention you give your body, the more it is the master, and the more it will demand and keep demanding from you.

你必须对你的身体采取无条件的立场：“‘我是临在’完全统御这个物理身体，并强迫它服从。” 你给身体的注意力越多，它就越是主人，它就越会向你索取并持续索取。

When the physical body is either chronically ill or continually showing disturbance, it proves that it has been given attention over a period of years to one disturbance or another, and it will never improve until one takes the positive attitude and whips it into obedience.

当物理身体处于慢性疾病或持续表现出骚乱时，这证明它多年来一直被赋予了对这样或那样骚乱的注意力；除非一个人采取积极的态度并将其鞭策至服从，否则它永远不会改善。

You can positively produce whatever you want in your body if you will fix your attention upon the Perfection of it – but do not let your attention rest on its imperfections.

如果你将注意力固定在身体的完美之上，你绝对可以在身体中产出任何你想要的东西——但不要让你的注意力停留在它的不完美上。

For the Ascension: " 'I AM' the Commanding Presence." Use this often, for it stills the outer activity so you become centered in the Activity of Love.

为了扬升：“‘我是’（I AM）那统御的临在。” 经常使用这一宣告，因为它能平息外在活动，使你聚焦在“爱之活动”中。

The instant you feel something discordant, turn away from it. You have the Scepter of Power in your consciousness – now use it!

在你感到不和谐的瞬间，转身离开它。你的意识中握有“权能之杖”——现在就使用它！

You are to follow Jesus' command: "See no man after the flesh." It means exactly what it says: recognize no human imperfection in thought, feeling, word or deed.

你要遵循耶稣的教导：“不再按着肉体认人。” 它的意思正如字面所说：在思想、情感、言语或行为中，不承认任何人类的不完美。

A very powerful thing to use in problems is to take the simple consciousness: "God in me, the 'I AM Presence,' come forth! Govern and solve this situation harmoniously." It would do wonders. The whole thing is to instantly draw forth the "I AM Presence" and set It to work.

在处理问题时，使用一种非常强力的方法是采取简单的意识：“我内在的神，‘我是临在’，请显现！和谐地统治并解决这个局面。” 这会创造奇迹。关键在于立即引出“我是临在”并让“祂”投入工作。

Jesus said: "Ask, and ye shall receive." 

耶稣曾说：“求，就必得着。”

"Seek, and ye shall find."

“寻找，就必寻见。”

"Knock: it shall be opened unto you."

“叩门，就必给你们开门。”

Say to your Divine Self: "See here, God! Come forth and take care of this." God wants you to set Him to work. This releases a flood of the God-Energy, Intelligence and Substance which flows forth to do the command.

对你神圣的自我说：“看这儿，神！显现出来并处理这件事。” 神想要你让“祂”投入工作。这释放了洪水般的神圣能量、智能与本质，奔涌而出执行指令。

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty, Commanding, "I AM Presence!」 Assert Thy Dominion within the heart and consciousness of each student! Command the Life Activity to express Its fullness! Set Thyself as a Guard at the door of the mind of each one, so he admits only that which is helpful and harmonious. Bless each one with that power to hold fast and go forth to harmonious attainment. We thank Thee.

祝福：祢这伟大、统御的“我是临在”！在每一位学生的心中与意识里彰显祢的统御权！命令生命活动显现其圆满！在每一个人的心智之门设立祢自身的守卫，使他只接纳那些有益且和谐的事物。赋予每一个人坚守并迈向和谐成就的力量。我们感谢祢。

NOTES

Cha Ara, his Mother, Nada and Saint Germain were working very intensely on the expanding of the Inner Light within each one who was here. We wished that the students might see from the Inner standpoint. It would be an experience never to be forgotten.

查·阿拉、他的母亲（梅塔大师）、纳达和圣哲曼正极其密集地工作，旨在扩张这里的每一个体内的“内在之光”。我们希望学生们能从“内在的视角”去观察。那将是一次永生难忘的体验。
