SAINT GERMAIN 

INVOCATION: O Mighty Luminous “Presence,” from out Thy Secret Place Thy Radiance shines brighter and brighter; and as Thou dost encompass America and humanity in Thy great Loving Presence of Light, so We give praise and thanks for the Privilege of being Thy Messengers to carry forth Thy Thought, Thy Work, and Thy Word into the various parts of the Earth, there to be blest by Thy Beneficent Presence.

祈请:哦!强大圣光的“临在”,祢从隐秘之处散发的光芒愈发璀璨;当祢以伟大的爱之光明临在环绕美国与全人类时,我们赞美并感谢能成为祢的使者,将祢的思想、事业与话语传至地球各处,使那里因祢的慈临而蒙福。

O Mighty Host of Light, as Messengers of that one Supreme Power, We give praise and thanks for Thy Ministering Presence to ourselves and all mankind. From out Thy Great Wisdom comes the solution of all things. From out Thy Great Light comes the great Consciousness that opens humanity’s consciousness and is the Great “Presence,” Self-sustained forever. 

哦,伟大的光明之主!作为那唯一至高权能的使者,我们赞美并感谢祢对我们及全人类的护佑临在。所有问题的解答皆源自祢的浩瀚智慧,那开启人类意识的伟大觉知亦源自祢的璀璨光明 —— 这便是永恒自存的伟大 “临在”。

Greetings and Love from the Great Host for establishing conditions in which They delight. There is a difference between musical peace and ordinary peace, as We term it. This Music is Harmony of the Spheres and carries much higher and farther than other activities, except where the thought is sent — propelled — by conscious dynamic force.

伟大之主为成就其喜悦的境地致以问候与爱。正如我们所称,“音乐的平和” 与 “寻常的平和” 有所不同。此音乐乃 “天体的和谐”,其承载的频率更高、传播更远,除非思想被有意识的动态力量 “推动” 传递。

THE DISCOURSE

The old seeming myths and legends were far more true than the humanity of today are willing to acknowledge. The Gods and Goddesses of the olden times were greatly enlightened Beings whom the humanity of that period looked upon as too superior in Wisdom and Light to ever dream of becoming like Them. However, the Children of Light today, through the Inner, Propelling Power of the Individualized Christ Force, realize that there is no height, no matter how great, that one may not reach — and there, be forever Self-sustained.

那些看似古老的神话和传说,远比当今人类愿意承认的要真实得多。古代的诸神与女神都是高度开明的存有,当时的人类认为他们在智慧和光上过于卓越,甚至从未想过能成为像他们一样的存在。然而,如今的光之子们,借着个体化基督力量的内在推动之力,明白无论多高的境界,皆可企及——且在那里,得以永恒自存。

Reminder: I wish again to call your attention to what was given last week on visualization and ask that you read it daily so that you get the true conception of visualizing. Contemplate it as often as you can, for I am aware that the door of your consciousness is opening to receive the full use and understanding of its mighty power. The quickening of the understanding established last week is leavening the whole loaf, as it were; and with your cooperative, conscious effort in contemplation of its great activity, you will come more and more into its tremendous use and possibilities.

提醒:我希望再次提请你们注意上周关于观想(visualization)的教导,并恳请你们每日诵读,以便真正理解观想的本质。尽可能频繁地冥想其内涵,因为我知晓你们意识的大门正逐渐开启,以充分接纳并运用这一强大力量。上周所建立的认知启迪,恰似酵母渗入整块面团;借着你们在冥想中对其伟大运作的有意识协作,你们将愈发深入地掌握其惊人的效用与潜力。

The Activity of the Light is consciously drawn about you , and the Radiation that goes forth is reaching a point of saturation, chemically speaking, at which Its Radiance runs over, as it were, like a pail of water filled to overflowing — this becomes a Fountain of ever-pouring Light, Illumination, Substance, and Power governed by Wisdom enfolded in Its cloak of Divine Love. Thus is there no uncertain activity. Be conscious of the overflowing Substance and Power flowing forth to wherever you are conscious of a need. This will become so tangible and so potent in Its operative Power, that ere long It will stand ready and dart forth like a Ray of Light wherever there is a Call or Demand.

从意识层面,光的能量正被牵引至你们周围。若以化学术语类比,所散发的辐射正趋近 “饱和点”—— 其光芒如注满溢出的水桶般奔涌不息,化作由神圣之爱所笼罩、以智慧为核心的永恒光之泉源,源源不断地倾注光明、启示、实质与权能。因此,一切运作皆非偶然。请觉知这满溢的实质与力量,正流向任何你意识到有需求之处。其运作之力将变得如此切实且强大,不久之后,但凡有呼唤或需求,它便会如光束般即刻响应。

It is well to be aware that there is no limit to this Outpouring. You arrive at the point of consciousness where this Mighty Power surges forth to fulfill the Demand, without contacting your physical body. Why? Because the consciousness reaches a Height of the Self-sustaining “Presence” where it is, can be, and will be more and more directed from the Electronic Body — which will maintain this Outpouring in calm poise and peace. The only activity required is to fix the attention upon that which is consciously known to be needed.

须知,这一倾注的力量并无任何限制。当你的意识抵达某个境界时,这股强大的力量便会奔涌而出以回应需求,且无需与你的肉体产生直接关联。为何会如此?因为意识已抵达 自我维持的“临在” 的崇高境地,在那里,一切皆由 “等离子体” 引导 —— 它将以平静与安宁维系这一倾注。你唯一需要做的,就是将注意力聚焦于你明确知晓的需求之上。

Aside from this, be aware that from the Height of the Electronic Activity the Work is constantly going on, and being consciously directed from the Great Master “Presence” within. This is preparation and a very important step to the outer and Inner becoming one. When there is sufficient calm, peaceful preparation, the Wisdom flows like a gently flowing stream, carrying with It a conviction and radiance not possible in any other way.

除此之外,须知从电子活动的崇高境界中,这项工作持续进行着,并由内在的伟大大师 “临在” 有意识地引导。这是外在与内在合一的准备,也是非常重要的一步。当有了足够平静、安宁的准备时,智慧便如潺潺溪流般流淌,携带着一种以其他任何方式都无法企及的确信与光芒。

Daily work until the tenth of October: Spend at least three to five minutes every night until the tenth of October, making your clearest visualization of the All-Seeing Eye — which is the highest, yet normal means of causing the pineal gland and pituitary body to act in Perfect Balance. This will naturally cause other centers of the body to act in harmonious accord with It. In this manner Divine Love and Wisdom are naturally caused to act upon the lower centers, raising their activity in a manner and grace not otherwise possible. This will bring splendid results.

十月十日之前的每日功课:即日起至十月十日,每晚至少花三到五分钟,清晰观想「全视之眼」—— 这是使松果体与脑垂体达成完美平衡的至高且自然的方式。这将自然促使身体其他能量中心与之和谐共振。借此,神圣之爱与智慧将自然作用于较低的能量中心,以非凡的方式与恩典提升其运作频率。此举定将带来卓越成效。

Each Student should for five minutes in perfect quiet sometime during the day, claim the full power of perception and its full activity in his or her Life and world. This will enable everyone to have Insight and Foresight concerning their activity and affairs, which are activities that all Students need and really crave very much. One should contemplate that one has right now the full God Power of Projection and Precipitation, and the Power of molding and manifesting the Inner Substance into whatever form is desired. This may be applied by all of you.

每位学生应在一天中的某个完全安静的时刻,用五分钟时间宣称全知感知的力量及其在他或她的生活和世界中的充分运作。这将使每个人都能对自己的活动和事务有洞察力和远见,这些都是所有学生需要且真正非常渴望的能力。每个人都应冥想自己现在就拥有投射和显化的全部神力,以及将内在物质塑造成任何所需形式的力量。这一切你们所有人都可以运用。

Here is a Secret not conceived of or known except in the Retreats, which is an exact opposite of what is ordinarily understood from the general activity of the outer: When the Inner has raised the outer to a certain point of recognition, the outer begins to rejoice exceedingly in its cooperative action. From this point on, the Conscious Effort to hold fast to the joyous desire to act within the Magic Circle, makes it far easier than I can explain to you in words. Several of you are reaching this point, for which I rejoice with you.

以下是一个唯有在静修处才被构想或知晓的秘密,它与外在常规活动的普遍认知完全相悖:当内在将外在提升至某个认知层面时,外在便会开始在其协同运作中极度欢欣。从这一刻起,有意识地努力坚守在 “魔法圈” 内行动的喜悦渴望,会使其变得比我用言语所能解释的轻松得多。你们中有几位正在抵达这一境界,我为此与你们一同欢欣。

Warning: Each one of you should take a firm determined stand that no thought of criticism, judgement or condemnation should at any time find lodgment in your consciousness. “‘I AM’ enfolded in the Mantle of the Master Christ; therefore I maintain my thought, feeling, and words free from all criticism and judgment.” This maintained will open Doors of wonderful Light and Activity. With this, take the stand that when you have done the best you can for an individual through Instruction or Radiation of both, you place that one in God’s Hands and insist that your outer self remain free from the contemplation of the subject. This will give a Power, Activity, and Use of the Inner “Presence” that will many times amaze you.

警示:你们每一个人都应坚定决心,绝不让任何批评、评判或谴责的念头在意识中停留。「我是被基督大师之袍所环绕的存在;因此,我的思想、情感与言语皆远离一切批评与评判。」坚守这一信念,将开启充满奇妙光明与运作的大门。于此同时,当以教导或辐射尽己所能帮助他人后,需立定心志将其人交托于神之手,并坚决让外在自我不再思虑此事。此举将赋予内在「临在」以力量、运作与效用,其结果常令人惊叹。

Hints to the Group: We feel greatly encouraged over the unusual Harmony manifested within the individuals yesterday. If this great loving, joyous feeling of one Student to another and to their Instruction is maintained, wonders may occur at any time in their midst. Several have sought the Visible Presence of one or more of the Ascended Host. This attitude maintained might enable such a desire to be fulfilled for the Group. If each can enter joyously into the acceptance of this Idea, it will be well indeed.

给团体的提示:我们对昨日团体成员间呈现的非凡和谐深感鼓舞。若能将学员彼此之间及对教导所怀的这份至爱与喜乐之情持续下去,奇迹随时可能在他们中间发生。已有几位学员追寻着一位或多位扬升圣团成员的可见临在。若能保持这一心态,团体的这一渴望或可实现。若每个人都能以喜悦之心接纳这一愿景,必将甚好。

In contemplating the use of the True Vision, let each one demand of his or her Inner Self, unwavering conviction in Its use; for when the Vision has placed the picture desired within the Great Silence, it is positively certain to be propelled forth into visible form, the moment it has registered there with sufficient clearness. Do not have any consideration except to know that the picture is placed within the Great Silence — firm and clear; and you will not need to be concerned when it will manifest, because the Law of the Great Silence is to propel it forward into visible form the moment it is registered.

在冥想真实愿景的运用时,愿每个人向自己的内在自我要求对其运用拥有坚定不移的信念;因为当愿景将所渴望的图景置于 “伟大寂静” 之中时,一旦该图景以足够清晰的状态在其中定格,它必定会被推动至可见的形态。除了知晓图景已稳固而清晰地置于 “伟大寂静” 中之外,无需任何顾虑;你也无需担忧它何时显化,因为 “伟大寂静” 的法则就是:图景一旦定格,便即刻将其推向可见的形态。

As a rule, the Student endeavoring to place the visioned picture within, immediately begins wondering if it really got there. This questioning prevents the clearness of the picture striking the Inner plate or Great Silence. When the picture is made, the only office of the outer is to know positively that it is registered in its full and perfect clearness — and then rest in that. The wish has gone forth. Know that it has gone forth and brings its visible action.

一般来说,试图在内在构建观想图景的学员,往往会立刻开始怀疑图景是否真的成功观想。这种质疑会阻碍图景以清晰的状态烙印于「内在感光板」或「伟大寂静」之中。当图景被构建完成后,外在意识的唯一职责是确信它已以完整且完美的清晰度被记录 —— 然后安住于此确信。愿望既已发出,便应知晓它已启程,并终将带来可见的显化。

The disappearance of animals from Earth: One of the most amazing things perhaps, in all manifestation, is the tremendous power that the love of an individual has, to lift the consciousness of an animal, as is so beautifully illustrated in Unveiled Mysteries. It is a beautiful illustration of how the intense love of mankind for animals will soon remove all animals from the outer expression.

地球上动物的消失:在所有显化现象中,或许最令人惊叹的一点,莫过于个体的爱所具有的强大力量 —— 正如《揭开的奥秘》中美妙阐释的那样,这种爱能提升动物的意识。这一现象生动地表明:人类对动物的炽热爱意,将很快使所有动物从外在实相中「隐退」。

Metempsychosis: There was a time in the progress of humanity when the conscious division of the constructive and destructive use of the Inner Power and Energy began. Through the power of black magic, or misuse of the One Energy, sometimes a Soul was driven from its body by another; and a body of an animal was built up, and the Soul was compelled to use it. It was from this condition that the legend of the transmigration of Souls came. There has only been one period through the centuries at which this occurred. The Ascended Host consumed and dispelled this activity forever. But the memory, which has never been erased in an etheric record, still lingers; and now and then an individual having contacted this record, keeps alive the idea that should long ago have been forgotten. 

轮回转世(Metempsychosis):在人类发展的某个阶段,内在力量与能量的建设性使用和破坏性使用开始有意识地分化。通过黑魔法的力量,或对「单一能量」的滥用,有时一个灵魂会被另一个灵魂驱逐出肉体;随后,一具动物的躯体被构造出来,该灵魂被迫寄居于其中。正是从这种情形中,衍生出了灵魂转世的传说。数百年来,这种现象仅在某一时期出现过。扬升之主已将这一活动永久消除与驱散。然而,以太记录中从未抹去的记忆仍在徘徊;偶尔有个体接触到这一记录,使本应早已被遗忘的观念延续至今。

Dominion over the body: People can, if they will only realize it, talk to the organs or parts of the physical body just like they would to a child from whom they wished obedience. They can say, "Now you get into perfect normal activity and see that you maintain it!" During the time that the Life is maintained within the form, there are innumerable little workers whose duty it is to rebuild the atomic structure of the form and maintain it in perfect order. Again one can say to that part of the Life activity, "See that my body is supple, perfect in form, and beautiful; that my hair, eyes, and every part of me glows with the Light of the Inner Activity."

掌控身体:人们若能意识到,便可以像对期望服从的孩子那样,与身体的器官或部位「对话」。你可以说:"现在,你要进入完美正常的运作状态,并确保持续下去!" 在生命存续于肉体的过程中,无数微小的 "工作者" 肩负着重建身体原子结构并维持其完美秩序的职责。你亦可以对这部分生命活动说:"务必让我的身体柔韧灵活、形态完美、容光焕发;让我的头发、眼睛乃至全身每个部位,都闪耀着内在能量的光芒。"

The fact and Eternal Truth is that the consciousness is absolute master of every activity of the body and can mold it into perfect activity and form. The only reason those who know this do not get their manifestations is because they do not stay on the job. If a disobedient child were destroying something beautiful and valuable in your home, you would certainly put a stop to it. The time has come for you to do permanent work on your bodies.

事实和永恒的真理是,意识是身体每一项活动的绝对主人,可以将其塑造成完美的活动和形态。知晓这一点的人之所以没有实现显化,唯一的原因是他们没有坚持做这件事。如果一个不听话的孩子正在破坏你家里美丽而珍贵的东西,你肯定会阻止它。现在是时候对你的身体进行持久的「工作」了。

The work of repairing and Perfecting the body is done through the Electron. Say to the intelligent workers in your entire body, "Get to work and see that every particle of this structure is replaced with God's Perfection." Do this especially at night before going to sleep. Realize that you are setting to work intelligent Beings who obey you. The consciousness must be impressed upon the workers that the Perfection is permanent. The Electron is a Focus of Perfect Energy from which the workers draw their Perfection. Instead of knowing that everything we place within the body is God's Pure Substance, most of us have the idea that some of God's Substance can be harmful. The idea that any of God's Substance is naturally harmful and inharmonious to man is absolute nonsense.

身体的修复与完善工作通过电子(Electron)完成。你应向全身所有智慧工作者宣告:“开始工作吧,确保身体结构的每一个粒子都被神的完美所取代。”尤其要在每晚睡前进行此事。要知晓,你正在调动听命于你的智慧存在。必须让这些工作者铭记:完美是永恒不变的。电子是完美能量的焦点,工作者从中汲取完美的力量。我们大多误以为神的某些物质可能有害,实则应当明白:我们摄入体内的一切皆为神的纯净本质。认为神的任何物质本质上对人类有害或不和谐,纯属无稽之谈。

To meat eaters: The reason that flesh food does not belong in the human body is because there is a certain animal quality in the natural structure of the flesh and this automatically acts from its own trained environment of activity.

致食肉者:肉类食品本不属于人体,原因在于肉类的自然结构中含有某种动物属性,而这种属性会因其自身习性的活动环境,自动对人体产生作用。

Question: "What causes the change in desire for food?"

Saint Germain: It comes through the raising of the consciousness, and this quickens the activity of the atomic workers. 

问题:"是什么导致了对食物的欲望变化?"

圣哲曼:这源于意识的提升,而意识的提升会加速原子工作者的活动。

Very important: The force field around the Electron is naturally Perfection. The force field between the positive and negative atoms may be so charged with the force of the Electron, that it maintains a constant constructive activity. This is done by the Conscious Activity of the Thought through the Vision. The province of the Conscious Activity and the right use of Its power is to qualify this force field between the atoms with the Perfection of the Electron. The nature of the little workers is to keep Perfection. A good Affirmation is, "See that this is renewed and maintained in its perfect activity. "

至关重要:电子周围的力场本质即完美。正负原子间的力场可被电子能量充分充满,从而维持恒定的建设性活动。这需通过观想中的思想意识活动达成。意识活动的职责及其力量的正确运用,即是以电子的完美性赋能原子间的力场。这些微小「工作者」的本质便是守护完美。以下是一则有力的肯定宣告:“务必让这一状态在完美运作中持续更新与维系。”

Remember always: The human mind will revert back to imperfection unless you keep a death-like grip upon it until it makes full union with the Golden Flame. Take your stand! Know you have within you the Mighty Master "Presence," and tell It to see that you are sustained in the constant activity of Perfection. You must consciously give quality and permanency of the quality to the atomic structure if Perfection is to be maintained without interruption. Command often: "I speak to you, the conscious workers of the constructive process! See that Perfection is created and maintained in every function of all my bodies. "

永远记得:人类的心智会不断回归不完美状态,除非你以「至死方休」的坚定掌控它,直至其与「金色火焰」完全合一。立定你的决心!要知晓,你内在本具强大大师的「临在」,并祈请它护佑你持续处于完美的运作之中。若想让完美状态无间断地维系,你必须有意识地为原子结构赋予「品质」及其「永恒性」。经常宣告:“我在此向建设性进程中有意识的工作者们发出命令!务必让完美在我所有身体的每一项机能中被创造并维系。”

Germs: There is no germ of any disease, except what the conscious mind creates. The medical profession call this activity germs.

细菌:除了意识心智所创造的之外,不存在任何疾病的病菌。医学界将这种(意识创造的)作用称为病菌。

Phagocytes: These little workers are constructive by nature and are placed the body to maintain Perfection; but the discord in the thought and feeling — if allowed to express in the consciousness of the individual — compels them into other than their natural activity or work.

吞噬细胞:这些微小的「工作者」本质上具有建设性,被置于体内以维护完美状态;但思想与情感中的不和谐 —— 若任其在个体意识中表达 —— 会迫使它们偏离自然的活动或职能。

For healing more quickly: Whenever you visualize the Golden Light acting, qualify It with Infinite Intelligence, and command these little workers to create and maintain Perfection in the mind and body. This adds a tremendous element to the Healing Activity, which is the natural action of this Golden Light. In the Light is an Intelligent Activity. When This is directed by the Conscious Command, It sets in motion tremendous Power of the Christ. Get the full realization of this fact at all times, so that you will know that this consciousness always acts according to your Demand. Instead of allowing these little workers in the body to accept destructive suggestions, by your Conscious Command you keep them obedient to their own natural perfect activity. Whenever you hold the vision on Healing, be sure to qualify it in this way with the Conscious Command.

关于加速疗愈:每当观想金色之光运作时,需以「无限智慧」为其赋能,并命令这些微小的「工作者」在心智与身体中创造并维系完美状态。这会为疗愈活动注入一股强大力量 —— 而这本就是金色之光的自然作用。光之中蕴含着智慧的运作,当它被有意识的指令所引导时,便会启动基督的巨大权能。要时刻充分领悟这一事实,从而知晓意识始终会依照你的「需求」运作。切勿让体内的微小工作者接受破坏性的暗示,而应通过有意识的指令,让它们始终服从于自身本然的完美活动。每当持守疗愈的观想时,务必以这般有意识的指令为其「赋能」。

By the use of the Conscious Command as the Christ, we transcend the Law of Growth. The Law of Growth is only in the outer activity. There was a time when birth came through the Power of the Inner Vision creating the full form as desired by the Masters within. This is the same Power that is used today by the Ascended Host who project forms for Their own use. The Ascended Beings at this time, unless a number of Activities are required at once, usually take Their own Body for the Work. If three or four activities are required at the same time, They project that many forms through which the Energy is to act.

借由基督意识的有意识指令,我们超越生长法则。生长法则仅存在于外在活动中。曾有一段时期,诞生源于内在愿景的力量 —— 大师们借此按其意愿创造完整形态。这与如今扬升之主为自身需求投射形态所运用的力量无异。现阶段,扬升存有通常会以自身躯体执行任务,除非需同时进行多项活动。若需在同一时间开展三、四项活动,他们会投射多个形态,使能量借由这些形态运作。

The Law of Growth is only a concept of the human mind that accepts the limitation of and the concept of time. The Ascended Host can send or project a form just as easily as a thought. The instantaneous action of the desire creates the form by the thought — for Their Thought Creation is instantaneous. If you wish to project your thought to a distance, you have but to clothe it with your picture. To make a form tangible to the outer senses, it must be clothed in the atomic structure.

生长法则不过是人类心智接受局限与时间概念的产物。扬升之主投射形态犹如转念般轻而易举 —— 其愿望的瞬间运作即可借由思想创造形态,因为他们的思想创造本就是即刻完成的。若你想将思想投射至远方,只需为其赋予观想图景。而若想让形态被外在感官感知,就必须为其披上原子结构的「外衣」。

The transportation of a body by Levitation is a much lower action than the Dissolving and Reassembling of it at a distance. The latter is a much more rapid process. The manner of transporting the objects from the Temple at Mitla to the Royal Teton, was by the Disassembling Process. This was the Method used for all in the Retreat except the Portraits. In the case of the Portraits, We did not wish to interfere with the cohesive structure as it had been previously established, for reasons not explainable now. In passing through solid objects, things are disassembled and reassembled on the other side. In this way we keep the Inner blueprint intact and reas-semble the article again according to that Perfect Pattern.

通过悬浮术传送身体,相较将其分解后在远处重组,属于层次低得多的操作。后者的过程要快捷得多。将物品从米特拉神庙运送至提顿王室所采用的方式,正是分解重组法。除肖像画外,静修所内的所有物品均使用这种方法传送。至于肖像画,由于目前尚无法解释的原因,我们不希望干扰其已形成的内聚结构。在穿越固体物体时,物体需先被分解,再在另一侧重组。通过这种方式,我们能够保持内在蓝图的完整,并依照这一完美模板重新组装物品。

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty Infinite "Presence," We give praise and thanks for the clearness of thought and understanding today, and that Thy Mighty Intelligence is now acting in the minds and bodies of these Thy Students, Eternally Sustained in Its fullness and activity. 

祝福:全能无限的「临在」啊,我们为今日清晰的思想与领悟献上赞美与感恩;愿您的浩瀚智慧此刻在这些祢的学生的心智与身体中运作,以其圆满与活力永恒护持。
