SAINT GERMAIN
INVOCATION: Thou Infinite, All-Pervading Presence! With Thy Mighty Radiance surging forth throughout the atmosphere of earth, we give praise and thanks for the onrushing Christ Power of Love and Wisdom, which with no uncertainty is raising the consciousness of mankind above the sordid selfishness of the activity of the outer self.
祈请:祢这无限、遍在的临在!随着祢那伟大的光辉在地球大气中汹涌奔流,我们为那正势不可挡而来的、爱与智慧的“基督权能”给予赞美与感谢;这股力量正坚定不移地将人类的意识,提升到外在自我那卑污自私的活动之上
We give praise and thanks that we have become conscious of Thy Mighty, Active Presence at all times, and that in the conscious recognition of Thee, Thou dost charge our minds and bodies with Thy Pure Presence forever.
我们给予赞美与感谢,因为我们已在任何时刻都意识到祢那伟大、活跃的临在;并且在对祢的自觉确认中,祢正以祢那纯净的临在,永远地充盈我们的心智与身体。
I bring Greetings from the Radiant Host to you all.
我“光辉之众”那里向你们所有人的致意。
THE DISCOURSE
From within the Radiance of the Great Electronic Belt "I AM" projecting this today.
从“伟大电子带”的光辉之中,我今日正投影出这些教导。
From the Heart of the Golden City the Twin Rays come forth, upon which are the speech, the Light, and the sound.
那孪生光光束从“黄金之城”的核心散发而出,言语、光与声音皆承载其上。
The time has rapidly enfolded us when we must be more aware of the Great Electronic Belts encompassing all creation from the Godhead to the individual.
时代正迅速将我们包裹,我们必须更加清晰地意识到那环绕着从神首到个体之万物的“伟大电子带”。
The Etheric Belt around the Golden City is impenetrable – far more so than a wall of many feet of steel would be.
环绕着“黄金之城”的乙太带是坚不可摧的——其坚固程度远超数英尺厚的钢墙。
So in a lesser degree may the individual, with sufficient comprehension of the Active Principle of the God Self, surround himself with an Electronic Belt or Circle, which he may qualify in any manner he may choose; but woe be unto the individual who qualifies it destructively.
因此,在较小的程度上,一个对“神之自我”的活跃法则具有充分领悟的个体,也可以用一个“电子带”或“圆环”环绕自己。他可以按自己选择的任何方式为其定性;但那些为其注入破坏性特质的人,必将自食其果。
If anyone should be foolish enough to do this, he would find this Belt of Electronic Force closing in upon his own outer form, and it would be consumed; but those who with wisdom build and qualify it with God's Mighty Love and constructive Power will find themselves moving in a world untouched by the ignorance of mankind.
如果有人愚蠢到这样做,他会发现这股电子力之带会向内紧缩并压迫他自己的外在形态,使其被消耗掉;然而,那些运用智慧构建它,并以神那伟大的爱与建设性权能为其定性的人,将发现自己行走在一个不受人类无知干扰的世界中。
The Cosmic Period has arrived when those who have attained a certain degree of understanding must create, apply, and use this Wondrous Electronic Circle. Every creation that is Self-conscious action has this Circle of pure Electronic Force about it naturally, but to a large degree its force is ungoverned, therefore dissipated.
宇宙周期已经开启,那些达到一定理解程度的人必须创造、应用并使用这奇妙的“电子圆环”。每一个具有自我意识行动的造物,其周围自然都拥有这种纯净的电子力圆环,但在很大程度上,它的力量是失控的,因此被耗散了。
In consciously creating this Mighty Ring of Pure Electronic Force, you stop all leaks in the generation of this Limitless Essence, and hold it in reserve for conscious use and direction. After a few months of this conscious creative activity of and within this Electronic Ring, one will need to be very careful in using or directing this Force in any manner except by Divine Love.
通过有意识地创造这道“纯净电子力之强力环”,你便止住了这种无限本质在产生过程中的所有泄漏,并将其储备起来供自觉地使用与引导。在这一电子环之中及其本身进行这种自觉创造活动几个月后,一个人在使用或引导这股力量时必须非常小心,务必仅出于“神圣之爱”。
In the beginning of man's individualization, he was naturally surrounded by this Magic Circle, but as the consciousness was lowered more and more, rents were made in this Great Circle of Force, causing leaks, as it were, until It has almost entirely disappeared. This, however, was not a conscious creation of the individual, but was a natural, enfolding circle.
在人类个体化的初期,他天然地被这种“魔法圆环”所环绕;但随着意识越来越低沉,这股伟大的力量圆环上出现了裂口,导致了所谓的能量泄漏,直到它几乎完全消失。然而,那原本并非个体的自觉创造,而是一个自然的、包裹着的圆环。
Now students of the Light must go to work with no uncertainty and consciously create this Electronic Belt about themselves – visualizing It Perfect – with no rents or breaks in its construction.
现在,光的学生们必须毫不迟疑地投入工作,自觉地在自己周围创造这个“电子带”——观想它是完美的——在其构造中没有任何裂痕或断裂。
Thus it will be possible to consciously reach within the Electronic Belt of the Godhead, and there receive Limitless Wisdom, Love, Light, and the Application of simple Laws by which all creative power is possible. While the student is admonished to look always, and never forget it, to his own God Self, which is the Creator of his individualization, yet never has there been a single attainment in which there has not been given the Assistance of those still in advance.
如此,便有可能自觉地触及“神首”的电子带,并在那里领受无限的智慧、爱、光,以及那些使一切创造力量成为可能的简单法则之运用。虽然告诫学生要始终仰望、且永不忘记他自己的“神之自我”(那是他个体化的创造者),但从未有任何一项成就是离开过那些更先进之人的协助而达成的。
There being but the One God, the One Presence, and His All-Powerful Activity, then the one more advanced than the other is but more of the God Self in action. In this recognition you will understand why you can feel, " 'I AM' here and 'I AM' there," for there is but the One God Self everywhere.
既然只有唯一的真神、唯一的临在,以及祂那全能的活动,那么比他人更先进者,也不过是展现了更多“行动中的神之自我”。在这种确认中,你就会明白为什么你可以感受到:“‘我是’在此,‘我是’在彼”,因为随处都只有唯一的“神之自我”。
When the student can once understand that the Ascended Host of Masters are but the more advanced Consciousness of himself, then he will begin to feel the unquestionable possibilities within his grasp. Whether he speaks to the Godhead direct, to one of the Ascended Masters of Light, or to his own God Self, in reality it makes no difference, for all are One.
当学生终于能够理解,扬升大师们不过是他自身更高阶的意识状态时,他就会开始感受到那近在咫尺、无可置疑的潜能。无论他是直接向“神首”祈祷,还是向一位光的扬升大师,或是向他自己的“神之自我”倾诉,在实相中这都没有区别,因为万众合一。
Until one does reach this state of Consciousness, it does make a difference, for the individual is almost certain to feel a division of the One Self, which is not possible to be made – except in the ignorance of the outer activity of the mind.
但在一个人真正达到这种意识状态之前,这确实是有区别的,因为个体几乎肯定会感觉到“合一自我”被分裂了——而这种分裂除了在外在心智活动的无知中存在外,实际上是不可能发生的。
When the student thinks of the outer expression, he should at all times be aware that it is but the outer activity of the One Intelligence, guarding himself at all times against trying to divide in his own consciousness this One Mighty God-Power centered in him.
当学生思考外在表达时,他应在任何时候都意识到,这仅仅是“那唯一智能”的外在活动;要时刻警惕,不要在自己的意识中试图分割那聚焦于他之内的、唯一的伟大神之权能。
Again I must remind you that this Limitless, Mighty Power of God cannot intrude Its Wondrous Powers into your outer use – except by your invitation. There is only one kind of invitation that can reach it and loose it, and that is your feeling of deep devotion and Love. When one has generated about himself this Electronic Belt or Ring, there is no power that can penetrate it except Divine Love. It is only your consciousness of Divine Love that can penetrate within this Great Inner Blazing Belt of the Godhead, through which the Godhead sends back to you Its Great Outpouring – mark you – through His Messengers, Transcendent Beings so far surpassing anything of your present conception that it is not possible in words to convey to you the Majesty of the Love, Wisdom and Power of these Great Ones.
我必须再次提醒你:神这无限、伟大的权能,除非经由你的邀请,否则不会将其奇妙的力量强加于你的外在运用中。只有一种邀请能够触及并释放它,那就是你深切的奉献感与爱。当一个人在自己周围生成了这个“电子带”或“圆环”后,除了“神圣之爱”,没有任何力量可以穿透它。唯有你对神圣之爱的意识,能够穿透神首那伟大的内在炽燃地带;而神首也正通过那里,向你回馈祂伟大的倾注——请注意——这是通过祂的使者,即那些超越你目前任何想象的超凡存在来实现的。由于这些伟大者的爱、智慧与权能是如此庄严,以至于无法用言语向你传递。
At this point let Me again remind you that the student who will dare to do and be silent will find himself lifted into the Transcendent Radiance of this Inmost Sphere; then by experiencing and seeing will he comprehend this of which I have spoken. The soul who is strong enough to clothe itself in its Armor of Divine Love and go forward will find no obstruction; for there is naught between your present consciousness and this Mighty, Transcendent Inner Sphere to obstruct the approach of Divine Love.
在此,让我再次提醒你:那些敢于去做且保持静默的学生,将发现自己被提升到了这最内在领域的超凡光辉之中;届时,通过亲身的经历与亲眼所见,他将领悟我所说的这一切。那足够强大、能够为自己披上“神圣之爱”铠甲并勇往直前的灵魂,将不会遇到任何阻碍;因为在你当下的意识与这伟大、超凡的内在领域之间,没有任何事物可以阻挡神圣之爱的临近。
When you have touched and seen within this Inner Circle, you will then understand how imperfect is the present expression of Divine Love. Once one becomes consciously aware of these Great Spheres to which he may reach, he will find himself fearlessly reaching deeper and deeper within the Radiance of this Mighty Intelligent Hub of the Universe – from which all worlds, all creation have proceeded.
当你触及并亲见这内在圆环之景时,你就会明白当下的“神圣之爱”表达是多么地不完美。一旦一个人自觉地意识到这些他可以触及的伟大领域,他就会发现自己无所畏惧地越钻越深,进入宇宙那伟大的、智能的中枢光辉之中——所有的世界、所有的造物皆源自于此。
There are among you strong, dauntless, fearless souls who will understand this and be able to use it with great blessing to themselves and others. There are those who will understand and see that the "Presence" which beats each heart is God in Action; that the Activity sending the circulation through the body is God; that the Essence charging forward to vitalize the outer form is God in Action.
在你们中间,有一些强大、勇敢且无畏的灵魂,他们将理解这一点,并能运用它为自己和他人带来巨大的祝福。有些人会理解并看见:那搏动着每一颗心脏的“临在”就是“行动中的神”;那驱动身体血液循环的活动就是神;那向前冲锋以激活外在形态的本质就是“行动中的神”。
Then, O Beloved Students, awake to this – now! Do you not see how great a mistake it is to sink under the ignorance of the outer self, feeling pain, distress, and disturbance, all created by the ignorance and activity of the outer self; when a few moments of earnest contemplation will cause one to realize that there can be but One Presence, One Intelligence, One Power acting in your mind and body, and that is God.
那么,噢,挚爱的学生们,现在就对此觉醒吧!难道你们看不出,沉溺于外在自我的无知中,感受着痛苦、苦难和骚乱——这些全是由外在自我的无知和活动所创造的——是多么大的错误吗?而只需几分钟诚挚的冥想,就能让人意识到:在你的心智与身体中,只能有唯一的临在、唯一的智能、唯一的权能正在运作,那就是神。
You see how simple, yet powerful, is this Consciousness within you to choose the full recognition of the Great, Pure Activity of God into your mind and body; and to let its Wondrous, Transcendent Essence fill full to overflowing every cell.
你看,你内在的这种“意识”是多么简单却强大,它能选择全然承认神那伟大、纯净的活动进入你的心智与身体,并让其奇妙、超凡的本质充满并溢出每一个细胞。
It seems to Me, Beloved Students, that you cannot fail to grasp this simplicity of your True God Self acting in you. Ever turn to It, praising It, loving It, demanding and commanding It to surge forth into every cell of your body; into every demand of the outer activity, in the home, in your affairs, in business. When your desire is sent forth clothed in the God Presence, Power and Intelligence, it cannot fail. It must bring to you that which you desire. Desire is but a lesser activity of decreeing. Decreeing is and should be the recognition of the accomplished desire.
在我看来,挚爱的学生们,你们不可能领悟不到这种“真实的物理神性自我”在你们之内运作的简单性。要永远转向祂,赞美祂,爱护祂,要求并命令祂汹涌进入你身体的每一个细胞;进入外在活动的每一个需求中——在家庭里,在你的事务中,在事业里。当你的愿望被披上“神之临在、权能与智能”的外衣发出时,它绝不会失败。它必然会带给你所渴望的事物。愿望(Desire)只是“谕令”(Decree)的一种较小活动。谕令应当是,且必须是对“已达成的愿望”的确认。
Beloved Students, do forever put away any fear of the use of this Great Power. You know without being told that if you misuse It, you will experience inharmony. If you use it constructively, it will bring such Blessings untold that you can but give praise and thanksgiving for the moment when you awakened to the fact that this Limitless Power is omnipresent – ever awaiting your conscious direction.
挚爱的学生们,请永远放下对使用这股伟大力量的任何恐惧。你无需被告知也知道,如果你误用它,你将经历不和谐。如果你建设性地使用它,它将带来数不尽的祝福,以至于你唯有在觉醒于这一事实的时刻给予赞美和感谢:即这无限的力量是无处不在的——始终等待着你的自觉引导。
The individual who has said that you cannot add one cubit to your height by your thought has stifled the activity and progress of the individual, for thought and feeling are the Creative Power of God in Action.
那个说“你不能通过思想使你的身高增加一肘”的人,扼杀了固有个体的活动与进步;因为思想与感觉就是“行动中的神”之创造力。
The uncontrolled, ungoverned use of thought and feeling has brought about all kinds of discord, sickness and distress. Few, however, believe this, and keep going on and on continually creating by their ungoverned thought and desire, chaos in their worlds; when they could as easily as a breath face about, using their thought constructively with the motive power of Divine Love, and build for themselves a Perfect Paradise within the period of two years.
对思想和感觉那不受控、无节制的使用,带来了各种不和谐、疾病和痛苦。然而,极少有人相信这一点,他们继续不断地通过自己无节制的思想和欲望在他们的世界里创造混乱;而事实上,他们可以像呼吸一样轻易地转过身来,以“神圣之爱”为原动力建设性地使用思想,在两年的时间内为自己建立一个完美的乐园。
Even physical science has given proof that the body or outer form completely renews itself within a few months. Then you must see that with the conscious understanding and application of the True Laws of your Being, how easy it is to cause Perfection to manifest in your entire body, and every organ to leap into its Perfect, normal activity. In a short time it would not be possible for inharmony to enter your thought or body.
即便物理科学也已证明,身体或外在形态会在几个月内完全更新。那么你必然明白,通过对你存在之真理法则的自觉理解与运用,让完美在你整个身体中显化,并让每一个器官跃入其完美、正常的活动中是多么容易。在短时间内,不和谐将不再可能进入你的思想或身体。
O Children reaching to the Light! This great privilege is the Open Door of God before you, which none may shut but yourselves. None may obstruct or interfere with it but yourselves. Fearlessly use your God-given Dominion and Power and be free. You cannot attain and hold this Perfect Freedom except through consciously applied knowledge.
噢,向往光的孩子们!这伟大的特权就是展现在你们面前的“神之敞开之门”,除了你们自己,无人能将其关闭。除了你们自己,无人能阻碍或干扰它。无畏地运用神赋予你们的主权与权能吧,去获得自由。除非通过自觉地运用知识,否则你们无法获得并持守这份完美的自由。
Now I shall give you a secret that if understood by the angry or discordant individual would tear him or her from that destructive activity – even from a purely selfish standpoint.
现在我要告诉你们一个秘密,这个秘密若能被愤怒或不和谐的个体理解,将会把他(或她)从那种破坏性活动中拉出来——即便纯粹是从利己的角度来看。
The angry, condemning person who sends out destructive thought, feeling, or speech to another who is poised in his own God power, receives back to himself the quality with which he charged this power; while the poised person receives the energy which serves him, and which he automatically requalifies by his own poise. Thus, the creator of discord, through anger and condemnation, is consciously destroying himself, his world of activity, and his affairs.
一个愤怒、指责他人的人,向另一个安住于自身神之权能中的人发出破坏性的思想、感觉或言语时,他会收回自己为这股力量所注入的同等性质;而那位安稳的人则接收到了服侍他的能量,并自动通过自身的安稳(Poise)将其重新定性。因此,不和谐的创造者通过愤怒和指责,是在自觉地毁灭他自己、他的活动世界以及他的事务。
Here is a vital point students should understand. When one consciously reaches within the Inner Electronic Circle of God, he makes his outer expression and activity a channel for the ceaseless outpouring of the Pure Essence from the Godhead.
这是学生们应当理解的一个至关重要的点:当一个人自觉地触及神内在的电子圆环时,他便使自己的外在表达与活动成为了一个通道,让来自神首的纯净本质不断地倾注而出。
This in itself, even though he be entirely silent in the outer expression, is one of the greatest services to humanity – which but few not Ascended are aware of what it means to mankind.
这本身,即便他在外在表达上完全保持静默,也是对人类最伟大的服务之一——除了扬升大师外,极少有人意识到这对人类意味着什么。
The one reaching within the Electronic Circle becomes a continual outpouring, and this very Radiation alone is a tremendous Blessing to all mankind. Thus, aeon after aeon, have there been those unselfish Messengers of God through whom was poured forth the Blessing of those not understanding the uplifting Presence of this surging energy. When there is one or more found who can be an outpouring for this great welled-up Presence, it is likened unto the first trickling of a leak in a dam.
触及电子圆环的人成为了一个持续的倾注源,单单这份光辉本身就是对全人类巨大的祝福。因此,永恒以来,总有那些无私的神之使者,通过他们,那澎湃能量的提升之光被倾注给那些不理解这份临在的人们。当发现一个或多个能成为这份伟大蕴藏临在之倾注源的人时,这就像是大坝上出现的第一个裂缝。
As the consciousness is held steady and firm, and as the rent in the dam increases, greater volume of water comes forth, for at last all obstruction is swept away, and the whole force back of it is poured forth into use. Unlike the water dammed up that rushes forward, dissipating itself because it is without direction, the God-Power thus loosed goes direct to the channel of consciousness most receptive, and there builds Itself up, awaiting the opportunity to rush forward more and more. Thus, the student of Light, aside from his activity in dispensing the Truth, becomes, as it were, an artesian well, from the depths of which flows this Mighty Essence of God.
随着意识被稳固而坚定地持守,随着大坝上的裂缝扩大,更大量的洪水奔涌而出,最终所有的障碍都被冲刷殆尽,其背后的全部力量都倾泻而出投入运用。不像被拦蓄的水流因失去导向而四散耗尽,被如此释放的神之权能会直接流向最具有接收力的意识通道,并在那里建立自身,等待着更多奔涌向前的机会。因此,光的学生除了传播真理的活动外,还成为了——可以这么说——一口深井,从其深处流淌出神这伟大的本质。
The students should at all times remember that no matter what their mistakes may have been, God never criticizes nor condemns them; but at every stumble which is made, in that sweet, loving Voice says: "Arise, My Child, and try again, and keep on trying, until at last you have attained the True Victory and Freedom of your God-given Dominion."
学生应当始终记住,无论他们曾犯过什么错误,神从未批评或谴责他们;而是在每一次跌倒时,都用那甜美、慈爱的声音说:“起来,我的孩子,再试一次,不断尝试,直到最后你获得了神赋予你的主权的真正胜利与自由。”
Always when one has been conscious of having made a mistake, his first act should be to call on the Law of Forgiveness and demand wisdom and strength not to make the same mistake a second time.
每当一个人意识到自己犯了错,他的第一个行动应当是祈请“宽恕法则”,并要求获得智慧与力量,不再犯同样的错误。
God, being all Love, must have Infinite Patience, and no matter how many mistakes one may have made, he can always once again, "Arise and go unto the Father." Such is the Love and Freedom within which God's children are privileged to act.
神即是全然的爱,必有无限的耐心。无论一个人犯了多少错,他始终可以再次“起来,回到父身边”。这就是神之子民有权在其中活动的爱与自由。
There is only one, mighty, invincible, evolving process, and that is through the power of consciously generating Divine Love. Love, being the Hub of all Life, the more we enter in and use It consciously, the more easily and quickly we release this Mighty Power of God, which is always standing as a dammed-up force, waiting to find an opening in our own consciousness by which It can project Itself.
只有一个伟大、无敌且不断进化的过程,那就是通过自觉地产生“神圣之爱”的力量。爱是所有生命的轴心,我们越是进入并自觉地运用它,就越容易、越快速地释放神这伟大的力量。它始终像是一股被拦蓄的力量,等待着在我们的意识中找到一个缺口,好让它能投射自身。
For the first time in many centuries, the Searchlights, or Rays, from the Golden City over the Sahara Desert, are set into active operation over America and the earth. There may be some individuals who will see these Rays, not knowing what they are.
数世纪以来,来自撒哈拉沙漠上方“黄金之城”的探照灯或光束,首次在美洲和地球上开启了活跃的运作。可能会有一些个体看到这些射线,却不知其为何物。
Mankind need no longer think that personalities can continue to generate their destructive forces and long survive. Those who can use this Knowledge of the Electronic Circle should no longer be deprived of its benefits. Give it forth and the warning with it.
人类无需再认为人格化的小我可以继续产生破坏性力量并长久生存。那些能够运用这“电子圆环”知识的人,不应再被剥夺其益处。将这知识传给他们,并带上这份告诫。
Use this Statement: " 'I AM' the fulfilled activity and sustaining power of every constructive thing I desire." Use it as a general statement, for the sustaining power is in everything that there is. " 'I AM' here and 'I AM' there" in whatever you want to accomplish is a splendid way to feel that you are using the One Activity, and you thus rise above the consciousness of separation.
使用这个宣告:“‘我是’(I AM)我所渴望的每一件建设性事物的达成活动与持续权能。” 将其作为一个通用的宣言,因为持续的权能存在于万物之中。在你想达成的任何事物中宣告 “‘我是’在此,且‘我是’在彼”,这是一个极好的方法,让你感受到你正在运用那“唯一的活动”,从而超越“分离”的意识。
BENEDICTION: O Mighty Ones of the Golden City! Glorified are we in Thy Wondrous Radiance. Privileged are we in the use of Thy Great Rays. Blessed are we in the conscious recognition of Thy Mighty Presence. Enfold us forever in Thy Transcendent Light.
祝福:黄金之城的伟大大觉者们!我们在祢们奇妙的光辉中荣耀。我们在运用祢们伟大的射线中获得特权。我们在自觉承认祢们伟大的临在中获得祝福。愿祢们超凡的光永远包裹我们。
