SAINT GERMAIN

INVOCATION: O Mighty Majestic "Presence"! Thou Mighty Active Principle of God, forever endeavoring to press forward into action, into expression! Thou Wondrous "Presence," Thou Eternal Light and Boundless Wisdom, We give praise and thanks that We now and forever firmly recognize Thy All-pervading Presence in Our minds, worlds, homes, and affairs. No matter what appears, let Us stand firm in the recognition of Thy Wondrous Presence.

祈请：哦，威严壮丽的 “临在”！祢是神伟大的积极法则，永恒不息地奋力前行，化为行动，化为显化！祢这奇妙的 “临在”，祢是永恒之光与无垠智慧，我们赞美并感恩 —— 如今及永远，我们坚定地认知到祢遍在的临在，在我们的心智、世界、家园与事务中。无论显现为何，愿我们在对祢奇妙临在的认知中坚定不移。

I bring Greetings from the Great Host to you all.

我从伟大的扬升存有团体内向你们全体致以问候。

THE DISCOURSE

At the Door of the Consciousness of every individual should be engraved forever the words, "Be yourself." I mean by that, dependent alone upon that Mighty "God Presence" in you. No matter how wonderful the experience that comes through another channel, train the outer self to look to that Deeper and Truer Self from whom will come that Great and Deeper Expression, satisfying every demand. The disturbance in the outer self and world, in at least seventy-five percent of the cases, is due to consciously or unconsciously receiving and acting upon the suggestions of others.

在每个人的意识之门上，都应永远镌刻着这样的话语：‘做你自己’。我的意思是，只依赖你内在那伟大的 “神的临在”。无论通过其他渠道获得的体验多么奇妙，都要训练外在自我去望向那更深层、更真实的本我 —— 从那里将涌现伟大而深刻的显化，满足每一个需求。至少百分之七十五的外在自我与外在世界的困扰，皆源于有意识或无意识地接受他人的暗示并受其支配。

If we observe and feel the "God Presence" within, impelling us to action, we can use suggestion many times to get advantage instead of being used by it. This reference is to the outer conditions as one moves about the world in his daily vocation. Of course, this does not apply to True Instruction; for Truth is not suggestion, and we are supposed to apply Truth conscientiously and sincerely.

倘若我们觉察并感知内在的 “神的临在”，受其驱使而行动，便能够多次利用外界暗示为己所用，而非被暗示操控。这里指的是一个人在日常工作中周旋于世间时面临的外在环境。当然，这不适用于真正的教导；因为真理并非暗示，而我们理应认真且真诚地践行真理。

No adverse conditions: Be it now and forever understood that to the Student or individual who has become aware of his Mighty "God Presence" within and enfolding him, there is no such thing as an adverse condition, no matter what the appearance seems to be. No matter what the appearance of anything seems to be, with the attention fixed upon this recognition, it is impossible for anything but good to come out of every condition. You can see at once how impossible it would be for God to make a condition that would affect Himself adversely. No Student can attain and maintain his or her freedom from limitation without recognizing and applying this simple yet Mighty Truth.

不存在不利情境：需永远铭记 —— 对于已觉知内在及环绕自身的伟大的“神的临在” 的学生或个人而言，无论表象如何，皆不存在所谓 “不利情境”。无论任何事物呈现出何种表象，只要将注意力锚定在这一认知上，每一种情境都只会结出善果。你即刻便能明白，神绝无可能创造出会对自身造成不利影响的情境。任何学生若不认知并践行这一简单却大能的真理，便无法获得并维持脱离限制的自由。

It is so childish and foolish for one, in the recognition of this Mighty "Presence," to continue to give power and authority to outer things. After Students have entered the Conscious Path, they should under- stand that they must keep the conscious guard for their protection, their defense, their deliverance — and know positively that God in them is the one and only Directing Intelligence.

在认知这伟大的‘临在’之后，若仍继续赋予外在事物力量与权威，实为幼稚而愚蠢之举。学生们一旦踏上觉知之道，便应明白必须以有意识的觉察作为自我的守护、防御与解脱 —— 并确信内在的神是唯一的指引智慧。

Unwelcome thoughts: It is useless for the sincere Student to say, think, or feel that he cannot govern his thought and feeling. I assure you that at first it does take determined watchfulness; but it must be done, and there is no getting away from it. If strangers began to open the door and pass through one's home unannounced and unwelcome, I am sure it would not be long until the individual locked the door and, if necessary, placed a notice outside that only those invited might enter, and none without being announced. The same principle can be applied in gov- erning the mental world or world of thought. We can place the sign outside of the Magic Circle of our active Life, just as tangibly as we can place it on the outside of the door of our home.

不受欢迎的念头：真诚的学生若声称、认为或感觉自己无法掌控思想与情感，实为徒劳。我向你保证，起初确实需要坚定的警觉，但这是必须完成的功课，无从逃避。倘若陌生人未经通报便擅自开门进入家中，想必不久后主人就会锁上门，必要时还会在外张贴告示：“非请勿入，未经通报者谢绝”。同理可用于管理心智世界或思想领域。我们可以在活跃的生命之 “魔法圈” 外设立标志，如同在家门外张贴告示般切实可行。

The Student can say with full authority: "God! My Mighty 'Presence, ' surround me with Thy Mighty Magic Circle, that naught unlike Thee may find entrance at any time. See that this is sustained without a break anywhere; and with Thy Invincible Power and Wisdom, enable me to govern and qualify eternally all thought and outer action with Thy Full Dominion. "

学子可满怀权威地宣告：“神！我强大的‘临在’，请以祢的强大的魔法圈环绕我身，使任何与祢相悖之物皆不得侵入。请确保这守护毫无破绽地持续下去；愿祢以无敌的力量与智慧，使我能以祢的全权统治，永恒地支配与净化所有思想及外在行动。”

Warning — watch this: My Heart yearns for the Illumination of the Student who keeps voicing day after day, week after week: "How am I to govern my thought? Why don't these affairs come into shape as I want them to? Why doesn't everything change about as it should?" Dear Student, let Me say this: Because in the first place, you have built it, created it in your world. In the second place, every time you say "why," "when," "where," "how," or "what," you are giving power to the old outer momentum.

警告 —— 务必留意：我深切渴望那些日复一日、周复一周呼喊着 “我该如何掌控思想？为何这些事务未如我所愿？为何一切未按应有的方式改变？” 的学生得以开悟。亲爱的学生，我要告诉你：首先，这一切皆是你在自己的世界中构建与创造的；其次，每当你说出 “为何”“何时”“何地”“如何”“什么” 时，你正在为旧有的外在惯性赋予力量。

Stop! Look! Listen!: Use the motto that has come forth in your outer expression in the signs on your streets — "Stop! Look! Listen!" — every time you are tempted to make a negative statement, or admit things less than Perfection.

停！看！听！：请采用你们外在世界街道标识上的警示语 ——“停！看！听！”—— 每当你受诱惑想要发表负面言论，或承认不完美的事物时，即刻践行这一准则。

Saint Germain’s Promise of Help: I tell you that everyone receiving these Instructions who will take their determined stand to govern their thought, feeling, and action, will be given boundless Help and Assistance. Of course, you will understand that thought, feeling, and action are but three expressions of the one force. Instead of allowing yourself to lament over your seeming inability to master the outer, use that energy to conquer the condition by giving it the quality you need for the solution of your problem. Say: "By the Power of God in me, I can acquire full mastery and do it now; and I positively refuse to give power to outside conditions, persons, places, things, or activities. I have learned to know that there is only God in my Life, my mind, my body, my home, my world, and my affairs."

圣哲曼的许诺的帮助：我要告诉你们，所有接收这些教导并决意掌控自身思想、情感与行动的人，都将获得无限的帮助与支持。当然，你需明白思想、情感与行动不过是同一力量的三种显化。与其哀叹自己看似无力掌控外在，不如将能量用于征服情境 —— 以解决问题所需的特质重塑它。你当宣告：“借由我内在的神的力量，我此刻便能完全掌控一切；我断然拒绝赋予外在环境、人物、地点、事物或运作任何力量。我已明白，在我的生命、心智、身体、家园、世界与事务中，唯有神存在。”

In your schoolwork as a child — and most people have had their difficulty with mathematics — when adding up a column of figures, if you did not give your full attention to it, your answer would undoubtedly be incorrect. If your answer was wrong about three times in succession, your attention would be called to the fact in unmistakable terms.

如孩童对待功课—— 多数人曾在数学学习中遇过困难 —— 累加一列数字时，若未全神贯注，答案必然出错。若连续三次算错，你定会明确意识到必须集中注意力。

So it is necessary for you to take this same determined stand, no matter what the appearances seem to be. If necessary, silently shout to yourself within: "I stand firm! There is only God in Action in everything with which I am concerned." I am grateful indeed that some are understanding the great necessity for self-correction and are determined to succeed. All who do this will find themselves steadily forging ahead and, time after time, have proof of this Mighty Active "Presence." This will shortly give them all the faith and courage in the world to place their feet on the neck of the outer self and hold it always subject and obedient to this Mighty Inner God Self.

同理，无论表象如何，你都需抱持同样坚定的立场。必要时，可在内心默默呐喊：“我立场坚定！在我所关切的一切事物中，唯有神在运作。” 我深为欣慰的是，有些人已明白自我修正的重要性，并决意走向成功。所有践行者都将稳步前行，且一次又一次见证这强大且主动的 “临在” 的存在。这将很快赋予他们世间所有的信心与勇气，去踩住外在自我的脖颈，使其永远臣服于这内在的伟大的内在神我。

Oh, Beloved Students, why waver and wobble around any longer? Brace up! Tighten your belt! Face and conquer this outer self now, and go forth in that blazing Light that will draw around you to the point where you will not have to be concerned about the outer activity, by the Law of your Inner Being. It draws to you all Harmonious Action, Love, Light, and Wisdom, which you will joyously send forth like a Mighty River of Light, pouring Its Presence and Radiance over those blessed ones who have not yet gained the Fullness of the Victory.

哦，亲爱的学生们，为何还要继续犹豫动摇？振作起来！坚定信念！此刻就直面并征服这外在自我，在那炽烈的光芒中前行 —— 凭借你内在存在的法则，这光芒将环绕你身，直至你无需再忧虑外在纷扰。它会为你吸引所有和谐的行动、爱、光与智慧，而你将如浩瀚光河般欣然播撒它们，将临在与光辉倾注于那些尚未赢得圆满胜利的受祝福者。

The quick Victory: The Student who wishes to gain a quick Victory over the outer must cease la- menting the outer conditions because, in doing this, he is unknowingly giving power to the outer appearance that is holding him in the very condition that he does not want or like. Again let Me remind you, give no power to anything but God in your mind, in your business, in your home, in your world!

快速胜利之道：若想快速征服外在，学子必须停止哀叹外在处境 —— 因为此般叹息，实则是在不知不觉中赋予困住自己的外相以力量。我要再次提醒你：除了心智中、事业中、家庭中、世界中的神，切勿赋予任何事物力量！

I trust after this explanation, that no Student will be so unfaithful to his or her own "God Presence," as to fail to recognize Its Action in everything he or she desires. The Radiance of God be with you all and help you to do this. 

愿此番阐释后，再无学生会对自身的 “神的临在” 不忠，以至于在渴望的一切事物中忽视祂的运作。愿神的光辉与你们同在，并助你们践行于此。

Phagocytes: It will not be long until the Students of this Work will settle down to commanding the little workers in every part of the body, to enable them to do wonderful things in the body. It might be a very powerful expression to use: "Mighty Master Self within! Command and direct the little inner workers of my mind and body, and see that they produce Perfection in every organ and part; and see that this constant, constructive process is sustained and maintained continuously. "

吞噬细胞：不久之后，研习此道的学生将学会命令身体各个部位的 “小小工作者”，使其在体内成就奇妙之事。不妨以充满力量的方式宣告：“内在强大的自己！请命令并指引我心智与身体的内在小小工作者，让每一个器官与部位都显化完美；请确保这持续的建设性进程得以永恒维系。”

Renewal of the body: With this Understanding it should be very easy for each one to experience complete renewal of the body within a year. The fact is that there is no imperfection in any part or organ of the body, which you have not placed there through your thought. Therefore, you see how easy it is to stop that wrong thought-activity and change it into building the Perfection, instead of the imperfection.

身体的更新：有了这一认知，每个人都应能在一年内体验到身体的完全更新。事实上，身体的任何部位或器官之所以存在不完美，无不是你通过思想造就的。因此你当明白，停止错误的思想活动并将其转化为对完美（而非缺陷）的构建，是何等容易。

Now here we come to a most vital point: the natural, inherent tendency within the Life Principle of the Individual is Perfection, therefore constructive. So when you turn your attention to the Constructive Principle, you return again to the building of that Perfection which you had left — and therefore have a hundred-to-one odds in your favor for Its accomplishment.

此处有一至关重要的要点：个体生命本质中天然固有的倾向是完美，因而也是建设性的。因此，当你将注意力转向这一建设性本质时，便会重新回归对曾背离之完美的构建 —— 如此一来，你便拥有了百倍的胜算去实现它。

Resentment: Where there is resentment toward a person, place, condition, or thing in the outer, you are but heaping fuel on the fire and binding it closer to you. The minute people resent, criticize, condemn, hate, or blame, they are creating with tremendous speed more of the same thing to chain them that much longer in the bedraggled garments of limitation.

怨恨：若对外在的某人、某地、某境或某物心生怨恨，便是在火上浇油，将其与自身捆绑得更紧。每当人们怨恨、批评、谴责、憎恨或指责时，便是在以惊人的速度创造更多同类事物，将自己长久禁锢在局限的枷锁中。

Gossip — this is an urgent warning: I am going to say something to you, Dear Students, that to some may be shocking, but it must be said: Could individuals see how they clothe themselves when they wallow in vicious or unkind thought or gossip, they would scream for deliverance; for I assure you, I would not stain the Consciousness of your Great "God Presence" by attempting to voice such a description. If we really know that there is only God in Action in all our outer experience, we can readily see how perfectly ridiculous it is for anyone to permit the outer to lament about anything.

流言 —— 紧急警示：亲爱的学生们，我要对你们说一些或许令人震惊的话，但必须直言：若人们能看见自己沉溺于恶毒或刻薄的思绪与流言时，是如何为自己披上 “外衣” 的，定会尖叫着寻求解脱；我向你们保证，即便试图描述那场景，都不愿玷污你们内在伟大 的“神的临在” 的意识。若我们真正知晓所有外在体验中唯有神在运作，便会明白，任由外在对任何事物哀叹是何等荒谬。

For the real Student: The blessed Student who sincerely wants to know the Truth, will face it — no matter what it is — buckle on his or her Armor of that Mighty "God Presence" within, and conquer it, no matter how fierce the battle. But if at all points he keeps himself reminded that there is only God in Action here all the time, he will find the otherwise great struggle diminished a thousandfold. 

致真正的学生：真诚渴望知晓真理的受祝福学生，会直面一切 —— 无论真相为何 —— 系紧内在强大的“神之临在” 的甲胄，无论战斗多激烈都将其征服。若时刻提醒自己 “此处始终唯有神在运作”，便会发现本应艰巨的斗争已减弱千倍。

For yourselves and the Students who receive this Instruction: Everything is tending to draw the Power to the topmost Center, and a wise Statement is: "God! the 'Mighty I AM Presence'! See that the energy in my body is perfectly balanced throughout my mind and body. "

致你与接收此教导的学生：一切都在趋向将力量汇聚于至高中心，明智的宣告是：“神！‘强大的我是临在’！请确保我身体的能量在心智与身体中完美平衡。”

"God! See that this person, place, or condition is harmonious in action here, right now!" ''Arise and go to the Father," is marvelous for business conditions especially.

“神！请让此人、此地或此境此刻的运作全然和谐！”“起来，到父那里去”—— 这尤其适用于事业处境。

For a sense of tiredness: "I absorb the Mighty Presence and Energy o f my God Self, and it expresses as alertness, joy, and abundant activity in my outer Life and affairs!" "God is my Energy, expressing in my outer activity right now!"

应对疲惫感：“我汲取神圣本我的强大临在与能量，使其在外在生命与事务中显化为警觉、喜悦与充沛的活力！”“神是我的能量，此刻正在我外在活动中显化！”

All supply: If there seems to be an absence of anything, God in you is the Creator and Supplier of it. Instantly give the Command that God does supply it abundantly right now.

一切供给：若看似缺乏任何事物，你内在的神便是其创造者与供给者。即刻命令神此刻便丰盛地供给。

Mrs. Ballard: "Just an idea that came to me, to say: 'This is God's Diamond Palace! Now you get back to your right place in the Universe and be quick about it.'"

巴拉德夫人：“我刚想到一句话：‘这是神的钻石宫殿！现在你回到宇宙中的正确位置，动作快点。’”

To Donald: It is so important to watch your feelings. I had a Student once who had a similar condition, and I told him to say to everything, "God bless you." He had remarkable results; for the continued use of this statement is a powerful force acting and builds a condition in which everything blesses you.

致唐纳德：观照自己的感受至关重要。我曾有位学生处境类似，我让他对一切说 “神保佑你”，他收获了显著成效；因为持续践行此言是一股强大的运作力量，会构建出 “一切皆祝福于你” 的境遇。

Warning: I tell you, you cannot imagine until you get the Freedom of the Inner Vision, what a few moments of inharmonious thought will draw you into, in an unexpected moment.

警告：我告诉你，在获得内在洞见的自由前，你无法想象片刻的不和谐思绪会在不经意间将你拖入何种境地。

This is another reminder: Say to your outer self: "You know the Law. This is the wrong thing to do. You must obey if you want me to help you. "Often, it takes just a little encouragement and Inner Radia- tion to give the Inner Strength to rise out of a thing. The difficulty with Students, as a rule, is that they do not grab a thing quickly enough; for the first and most important thing is to refuse it admittance.

这是另一个提醒：对自己的外在自我说：“你知道法则。这是错误的行为。如果你想让我帮助你，就必须服从。” 通常，只需一点鼓励和内在光辉，就能赋予内在力量去摆脱困境。一般来说，学生的难点在于未能迅速抓住事物；因为首要且最重要的是拒绝让错误进入。

Individuals are so prone to look at the outer things as so important and tangible, when the Inner things are far more tangible.

人们往往过于看重外在事物的重要性和切实性，而内在事物其实更为真切。

The Tangible Presence of the Ascended Masters: There has been a very sincere desire on the part of a number of Students, to experience Our Tangible Presence; but just because they do not see Us, is no reason they do not feel Our Tangible Presence. We are just as tangible as you are to each other, but the Students do not qualify the Idea of Us with that same tangibility. We are here, but it is your consciousness that has not yet opened the Door. When you enter the Conscious Path, you must have more Faith. You must have Conscious Knowing, Conscious Qualifying — for you are the one at the helm.

扬升大师的切实临在：许多学生真心渴望体验我们的切实临在；但仅仅因为看不见我们，并不意味着感受不到我们的切实临在。我们如同你们彼此之间一样真实可感，只是学生们尚未用同等的切实感去认知我们。我们就在这里，但你的意识尚未打开大门。当你踏上觉知之路时，必须拥有更多信念。你必须有意识地知晓、有意识地赋予属性 —— 因为你是掌舵者。

Mastery — get this hint: When one feels the "Presence," if one would instantly qualify that feeling with the Idea of the Tangible, Visible "Presence," it might do wonders. No mastership is ever gained without this. There is a constant need of recognizing that each one is the person who is qualifying this Energy. Mastery means continual Conscious Command of Perfection. You must take the reins now. There is no reason in the world that you should not all have Perfection in your physical bodies — right now.

掌握 —— 领悟此要点：一个人感受到 “临在” 时，如果能立即将这种感受与切实可见的 “临在” 概念相结合，可能会创造奇迹。没有这一点，永远无法获得掌握。始终需要认识到，每个人都是赋予这种能量属性的主体。 掌握意味着对完美的持续有意识指挥。你现在必须握住缰绳。世界上没有任何理由让你们不能在物质身体中即刻拥有完美。

For any human being on Earth to think that God will intrude His Perfection when the individual is constantly generating and using negative and destructive forces, is perfectly preposterous.

如果一个人不断产生和使用负面及破坏性力量，却认为神会强行将完美注入其生命，这是极其荒谬的。

Destructive force is a form of positive force, while negative force but opens the door to some other destructive force than what one has generated for oneself. The destructive force is intensely dynamic. Constructive force is always dynamic and is a thousand times more powerful, for that is its natural element and activity. (This is in regard to a picture flashed to Mr. Ballard's consciousness, in which he was shown an activity that had begun at that time.)

破坏性力量是一种积极力量的形式，而消极力量只会为其他破坏性力量打开大门，其影响远超个人自身产生的破坏。破坏性力量具有强烈的动态性。建设性力量始终是动态的，且强大一千倍，因为那是它的自然本质和运作方式。（这与巴拉德先生意识中闪现的一幅画面有关，画面中展示了从那时起开始的一种运作。）

The destructive activity of thought: The Ascended Masters have never thought it wise to give forth too much of what takes place through the destructive activity of thought; but I think you and your Students are strong enough to withstand it, and I will say this much: You have all seen the golden sparks in the air. In a fit of anger, resentment, or intense condemnation, the thought clothes that atomic structure about the individual, and nature propels it forth with great force — affecting persons who might unknowingly have their doors open, charging conditions and things to an extent of which they have little conception.

思想的破坏性运作：扬升大师从未认为过多阐述思想的破坏性运作是明智之举；但我认为你和你的学生已足够强大，能够承受这些内容，因此我要多说一些：你们都见过空气中的金色火花。在愤怒、怨恨或强烈谴责的情绪中，思想会为个人周围的原子结构披上 “外衣”，自然会以巨大力量将其推进 —— 影响那些可能在不知不觉中敞开门户的人，对环境和事物产生他们几乎无法想象的影响。

This force generated goes out; and while fragments of it may find lodgment, its accumulation — through momentum — returns and hovers within the etheric atmosphere of its creator. When the above condition is about an individual, is it any wonder that things go wrong with him? That is how some great wrong or crime committed in an environment registers there with great vividness, and is why sensitive individuals going into the place or environment often feel or see — or both — the condition left there.

这种被生成的力量会向外发散；尽管其碎片可能在某处停留，但通过惯性积累，它会回流并盘旋在创造者的乙太气场中。当上述情形围绕一个人时，他的生活出现问题又有什么奇怪呢？这就是为什么在某个环境中犯下的重大错误或罪行会在那里留下深刻印记，也是为什么敏感的人进入那个地方或环境时，常常会感受到或看到 —— 或同时感受到和看到 —— 留在那里的情形。

Mrs. Ballard: "I saw Mr. Ballard on the sand at a distance; and after he had been standing still for some moments, he moved away a few steps and stooped down. The place where he had been standing was filled with a Bluish White Light, which did not move over to where his physical body was until some few seconds later."

巴拉德夫人：“我看到巴拉德先生站在远处的沙滩上；他静止站立片刻后，移动了几步并弯下腰。他原本站立的地方充满了蓝白色的光，这束光直到几秒钟后才移动到他身体所在的位置。”

Saint Germain: The Etheric Body does not always move as quickly as the physical, especially when there is a relaxed, harmonious condition of the mind and a feeling of peace. In such cases, it is sometimes quite distinct from the physical.

圣哲曼：乙太体的移动并不总是和肉体一样快，尤其是当心智处于放松、和谐的状态并感受到平静时。在这种情况下，乙太体有时会与肉体明显分离。

Mrs. Ballard: "I saw a continual movement in the atmosphere as we looked over the lake."

巴拉德夫人：“当我们眺望湖面时，我看到空气中有持续的流动。”

Saint Germain: That was the Cosmic Etheric Activity.

圣哲曼：那是宇宙乙太的运作。

The Love Star: You cannot give the attention to the Love Star or the Ascended Host without getting a Response. Devotion is a wonderful way to reach through, because devotion is a form of intensified love.

爱之星：你只要关注爱之星或扬升存有，就一定会得到回应。虔诚是一种奇妙的连接方式，因为虔诚是强化的爱的一种形式。

The Master Jesus and others of the Ascended Host: While Beloved Jesus and others of the Ascended Host will come forth in Active Service, I think it more powerful for the Students to understand that the coming forth of this Mighty Presence of the Christ, this time, is the Illumining of that "Presence" in the individual — because It is already there.

耶稣大师与其他扬升存有：虽然亲爱的耶稣和其他扬升存会主动现身服务，但我认为让学生理解这一点更为重要：这次基督大能临在的显现，其实是个体内在 “临在” 的觉醒 —— 因为它早已存在于那里。

Poise: Poise is really rest. The feelings should always be held in poised restraint. One should watch oneself always for poise in speech, feelings, and action. We should all learn to move quickly, without hurry or irritation; this is poise in action. All Students must acquire this at some time, for they become the embodiment of controlled force.

平衡：平衡实际上是一种休憩。情感应始终保持在平衡克制的状态。一个人应时刻留意自己在言语、情感和行动中的平衡。我们都应学会快速行动，却不匆忙或烦躁；这就是行动中的平衡。所有学生都必须在某个时刻掌握这一点，因为他们会成为被掌控力量的化身。

In all Students' lives, there come times when an occasion demands speedy action; and if one is acting with poise, the mind does not become confused. Then the Inner Direction can come forth with Its attendant ability to do whatever is required. In this way the feelings are kept quiet and the mind clear to receive its right Direction and carry it out.

在所有学生的生活中，有时会出现需要快速行动的场合；如果一个人以平衡的状态行动，心智就不会混乱。然后内在的指引就会显现，并伴随完成所需之事的能力。这样，情感就能保持平静，心智也能清晰地接收正确的指引并付诸实践。

This is why sensitive individuals naturally, in doing work in the outer where there is no noise or confusion about them, accomplish a great deal scarcely knowing that they are doing it. The vibratory action of noise strikes the mental atmosphere, creating disturbance; and unless the consciousness takes control of it, it causes a leak in the marvelous Stream of Energy flowing.

这便是为何敏感者在从事无噪音、无纷扰的外在工作时，往往能在几乎不自知的情况下成就斐然。噪音的振动作用会冲击心智氛围，制造干扰；除非意识主动掌控，否则这会导致流动的奇妙能量之流出现 “泄漏”。

BENEDICTION: Mighty Presence of God! We give praise and thanks for Thy Gracious Outpouring today, for the Radiant Host that are giving of Their Life, Healing, Poise, Wisdom, and Power in great unending Streams to the sincere Students who are looking to the Light. We thank Thee. 

祝福文：神的大能临在！我们赞美并感恩祢今日的恩典倾注，感恩光辉存有无尽地将生命、疗愈、平衡、智慧与力量如洪流般赐予仰望光明的真诚学生。我们感谢祢。
