圣哲曼系列2 -《神奇的临在》THE MAGIC PRESENCE 4

IV. Divine Romance 神圣浪漫

“Now I am going to touch upon very important things which are sacredly, ” Germain explained, speaking directly to Pearl, Rex, and Bob Singleton. “I do not wish you to feel that I intrude upon your sacred private affairs, or that I take of you because of the Power I possess and advantage.

“现在,我要谈论非常重要的事情,它们非常神圣,”圣哲曼直接对着珀尔、雷克斯和鲍勃·辛格尔顿解释说,“我不希望你们感觉我侵犯了你们神圣的私人事务,或者是认为因为我拥有的力量和优势而对你们做什么。”

” However, there are certain things that I must make unmistakably plain to you. Rex and Pearl are ‘twin Rays’ from the same Divine Flame. The Flame comes forth from the Heart of God, the Great Life Consciousness of the Universe, the Great Central Sun.

“不过,有些事情我必须明确无误地告诉你们。雷克斯和珀尔是来自同一道神圣火焰的‘双生火焰’。这神圣火焰直接来自神之心,也就是宇宙的伟大生命意识中心,伟大的中央太阳。”

“When You, the ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ will to come forth into an Individualized Focus of Conscious Dominion and use the Creative Word ‘I AM,’ Your first Individual Activity is the formation of a Flame. Then you, the Individualized Focus of the ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ begin Your Dynamic Expression of Life.

“当你,也就是‘伟大的我是临在’想要进入有意识主宰的个体化焦点,并使用创造性的词语‘我是’时,你的第一个个体化的活动就是形成一道神圣火焰。接下来,‘伟大我是临在’的个体化焦点开始了你生命的动态化表达。”

“This Activity We term Self-consciousness — meaning the individual who is conscious of his Source and Perfection of Life expressing through himself. Only the Self-conscious Individual has ALL the Attributes and Creative Power of the ‘Mighty I AM Presence’. Only He can know who and what He is and express the Fullness of the Creative Power of God whenever He decrees, by the use of the Words I AM.’

“这个活动我们称之为自我意识 —— 意思是个体意识到,他自己的源头与完美的生命是通过自己来进行表达的。只有有着自我意识的个体才拥有‘伟大我是临在’的所有特性和创造性力量。只有他知道自己是谁,通过使用词语‘我是’,在他下达喻令时,完全表达出神的创造力量。”

“The outer human part of this activity is what we call the personality. It is but the vehicle through which Perfection should be expressed into the outer substance of the Universe.

“这项活动的外在人类自我部分,就是我们所谓的人格。它只是一具载体,完美应该通过它表达进入宇宙的外在环境中。”

“Within the Pure God Flame is a Breath that pulsates constantly. This ’Great Fire Breath’ is a Rhythmic Outpouring of Divine Love, Its three Attributes being Love, Wisdom, and Power in action. These pour out constantly into the Infinite Sea of Pure Electronic Light. This Light is the Universal Substance or Spirit, out of which all forms are composed. It is intelligent—mark you—because It obeys law through the command of the individual who says or is conscious of ‘I AM.’ These two Words are the Acknowledgment and Release of the Power to create and bring forth into outer existence whatever quality follows that Acknowledgment. For Intelligence to act, there must be Intelligence to be acted upon; and the Universal Substance, being like a photographic film, takes the record of whatever quality the individual imposes upon It through his thought, feeling, and spoken word. The Words ‘I AM ‘whether thought, felt, or spoken, release the Power of Creation instantly. Make no mistake about this. Intelligence is Omnipresent, and It is within the Electronic Light.

“在纯粹的神之火焰中,有一股不断脉动的气息。这股‘神圣之火的气息’是神圣之爱有韵律的倾洒,它运作中的三种属性是爱、智慧和力量。它们不断地倾洒进入纯粹电子圣光的无尽海洋中。这圣光就是宇宙物质、灵性火花,所有的形态都由它构成。它是智能的 —— 你要留意这一点 —— 因为它通过那个说出、或是意识到‘我是’个体的命令来服从法则。‘我是’这个词,是对创造和带入外在表达力量的承认和释放,外在表达体现出了对此力量特质的认同。智能要去发挥作用,一定要有被作用的智能。宇宙物质就像是胶片,通过一个人的思想、感觉和言语记录下施加给它的特质。‘我是’这个词,不论是通过想法、感觉还是言语,都会即刻释放创造的力量。这一点不要搞错。智能无所不在,它就在电子圣光之中。”

“The first Fiat of Creation that went forth into Infinity was: ‘Let there be Light! ‘ and then Creation took place, for out of this Primal Light comes all manifested form.

“进入无限的第一个创造法则是:‘要有光!’然后创造就发生了,因为从这道原始的圣光中出现了所有的显化形态。

“The ‘Light’ is the Central Point of Life or energy within every atom, composing the substance from which comes all physical manifestation. I speak of the atom because the lower rate of vibration composing the physical manifestation is the atomic structure which we have under consideration.

“‘这道光’是每个原子内部生命或是能量的中心,原子是构成所有显化物质的材质。我这里讲原子,是因为构成显化物质的较低振动频率正是我们在探讨的原子结构。”

“When you consciously envelop or hold any person, place, condition or thing in the Dazzling White Light, you are penetrating, going through the atomic structure into the Electronic, wherein there is no imperfection. In this Use of the ’Light,’ one penetrates the structure of imperfection, and that on which the attention is centered is then brought forth Perfect—not only as the Father sees It, but It is the Father’s Perfection expressed.

“当你有意识地把任何人、地点、状况或者事物笼罩在明亮耀眼的白光中时,你就是在渗透、穿越原子结构进入电子状态,在那里没有不完美。在对‘圣光’的这种使用中,一个人穿透了不完美的结构,注意力所在之处就会变得完美 —— 不仅仅如圣父所见那样,更是圣父表达的完美。”

“You, as the Son, are given choice, commanded to choose and direct where the energy—which is the Activity of the ‘Light’—shall go. It is imperative to have your conscious thought, your firm attention on what is to be accomplished in order to give the needed direction to the Activity of this Mighty Force which it is your right and privilege to use.

“你们,作为圣子,被赋予选择权,被命令去选择并引导能量去往何处 —— 也就是‘圣光’的活动。你必须有意识地思考,把注意力坚定地放在要完成的事情上,从而为这股强大力量的活动提供指引,这是你的权利和特权。”

When you use the Dazzling White Light, you are actually accepting the Electronic Structure which is then present in manifestation, for you are acting from the Plane of Action, or Perfect Manifestation, Your desire, when held steady, unwaveringly, becomes the Conscious Thought directing, for you cannot have a desire without Conscious Thought in the desire.

“当你使用耀眼的白光时,实际上你就是在接受电子结构,它随后会表达在显化之中,因为你是从行动的层面、也就是完美的显化层面来行动的。当你的意愿保持稳定、坚定不移时,它就会变成有意识的指导思想,因为若是意愿中没有有意识的想法,那就不能称之为意愿。”

”Great strides have been made in the Higher Use of the Light at the Inner Levels in the past fifteen years. Your conscious great adherence to the Light shows you are ready for Its Highest Use. If in your use of the Light, you will know the Perfection of what you wish is already present in manifestation the moment you start the dynamic action of the Light, It will remove all uncertainty in your mind as to the positive assurance of the manifestation, or what you wish, taking form in your physical use.

“在过去的十五年,内在领域对圣光进行更高等地使用取得了长足的进步。你有意识地努力坚持圣光,表明你已经准备好掌握它的高等使用方法。在你使用光的过程中,如果你知道你希望的完美早在你开始使用圣光行动的那刻已存在于表达之中了,它就会移除你心智中对确保的显化结果和你愿望中的所有不确定性,这些阻碍从而不会形成你在物质层面使用的障碍。”

“In clothing or visualizing any person, place, object or condition with the Illuminated Figure of Jesus Christ, or the Figure of any other Ascended Master, you are really unclothing, penetrating through the atomic garment—where you see, recognize, and accept the Perfection you now want present in form, for you have swept aside all imperfection in the action.

“观想或是用耶稣基督、或其他扬升大师的开悟形象笼罩任何人、地点、事物、状况,实际上你就是在移除障碍,穿透原子外壳 —— 你会看到、认可并接受你想要的完美呈现在形态之中,因为你已经扫除了行动中所有的不完美。”

“The student should see and feel his body as if composed of Pure White Flame sending out long Rays of Light. The Flame is your Real Self—’The Mighty I AM Presence’ the Full Christ Perfection. The Rays shooting forth are the Divine Mind, or ‘Love in Action.’ These Rays are what follow your Conscious Direction, carrying your thought and producing magical results when consciously directed, held firm by determined, unwavering, Con­scious Attention. The ‘Light’ you thus visualize is the Electronic Substance the Hindus call ‘ Prana’.

“学生应该去看到并感受他的身体,仿佛是由发出长长光芒的纯净白色火焰组成的。这道火焰就是你真正的自己 —— ‘伟大的我是临在’,全然基督之完美。发射出的光芒是神圣的心智,‘行动中的爱’。这些光芒跟随着你意识的指引,携带着你的思想,由坚定不移的有意识的注意力维系,在有意识地引导下产生神奇的结果。你观想的‘圣光’就是印度教称之为‘普拉纳’的电子物质。”

“This Light is always directed by thought, but it is imperative that all learn to control and direct It consciously. This Conscious Control and Direction is how the Ascended Masters accomplish such Marvelous Results. Divine Love is a Presence, an Intelligence, a Principle, a Power, an Activity, a Light and a Substance. When we command Divine Love to go forth and do anything, we are setting into motion the Highest Form of Action—the most Powerful Force.

“这圣光总是由思想引导,不过所有人都必须学会有意识地控制和引导它。这种有意识地控制和引导是扬升大师可以实现如此神奇结果的原因。神圣之爱是一种临在、一种智慧、一种法则、一种力量、一种活动、一道圣光和一种物质。当我们命令神圣之爱出现去做任何事情的时候,我们就是把运作中的最高形态带入行动中 —— 这是一种最强大的力量。”

“This, however, does not require terrific effort; in fact, it requires just the opposite. It is a calm, steady, determined, conscious knowing. As this becomes a fixed consciousness, an absolute certainty in one’s conscious awareness, he will find more and more instantaneous response to his demand and com­mand. Never be afraid to demand and command anything that is a Universal Principle of Life.

“不过这一点并不需要巨大的努力,事实上它所需要的恰恰相反。它是一种平静、稳定、坚定且有意识的知晓。当它成为一种坚定的意识,成为一个人有意识觉知中绝对的确定性时,他会发现对他要求和命令的即刻回应越来越多。永远不要害怕去要求和命令服从宇宙生命法则的任何事情。”

“Make no mistake! The Light, the Universal Electronic Substance, is for your use—is at your command! Your ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ is a Self-Conscious Being of which your outer consciousness is but a fragmentary part. Therefore you can talk to your Mighty Master within as you would to a loving father who possessed limitless Light, Love, Riches, Power, Health, Happiness, or anything you could desire; for the more you consciously use this Mighty Presence of the ‘I AM’ the quicker will It respond to you.

“要非常清楚!圣光、宇宙的电子物质供你使用 —— 听你指挥。你的‘伟大我是临在’是拥有着自我意识的存在,你的外在意识仅仅是它的一个片段。因此,你可以与你内在的伟大导师谈话,就像与一位拥有着无限光、爱、财富、力量、健康、幸福或者任何你想要东西的慈爱父亲那样去交谈,因为你越是有意识地使用这个‘我是’的伟大临在,它就会越快回应你。”

“Divine Love can control all manifestation! If in your use of Divine Love you are conscious that It has within Itself all Love, Wisdom and Power of this ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ the fact is that you qualify this Principle which you command with whatever quality you are conscious of as being within It. You are given Dominion over everything in the air, in the earth, in the fire, and in the water—through the command of this ‘Mighty Universal Principle’ which is always at your Conscious Service and for your use.

“神圣之爱可以掌控所有的显化!如若在你使用神圣之爱时,你意识到它本身就拥有着‘伟大我是临在’的所有爱、智慧和力量,那么事实就是你有意识地使用这一法则来赋予你所命令的事物以特质,你命令的事物中就会携带这些特质。你被赋予了水火土风当中一切事物的统领权 —— 通过这个‘伟大宇宙法则’的命令,所有一切总是用于你有意识的服务和使用。”

“Love, Divine Mind, and Prana are One in the static or still state. Through the Conscious Action of the individual, Divine Love consciously directed, becomes Love, Wisdom and Power—in action. This is why Divine Love consciously directed to accomplish things produces such marvelous results. It becomes Instantaneous and All-Powerful as soon as the outer consciousness ceases to limit It.

“爱、神圣智慧和普拉纳在静止不动的状态是合一的存在。通过个体有意识的行动,神圣之爱被有意识地引导,成为运作中的爱、智慧和力量。这就是为什么有意识地引导神圣之爱可以产生神奇结果的原因。一旦外在的意识不再去限制它,它就会即刻运作并无所不能。”

“Now to return to the explanation of the Rays: The Almighty God Flame, breathing within Itself, projects Two Rays into the Great Sea of Pure Electronic Light. This Intelligent Light Substance becomes the clothing, as it were, for these Rays of the ‘Mighty I AM Presence’. Each Ray has all the Attributes of the Godhead within It, and no imperfection can ever enter into or register upon It. The Individualized Flame sends down into each Ray a Focal Point or Spark, forming a Heart Center upon which gathers the Electronic Light Substance, creating the Electronic Body. Around this It sends out Rays of lesser intensity that form an aura or force field. This force field is sometimes referred to as the Causal Body, and within It are deposited the results of all constructive effort during and between each embodiment. All Electronic Substance that has been used constructively by the personal self through physical experience is also deposited within It. Through It, the God Flame can send out into space a Greater Release of Its own Life Wave.

“现在要回归到对光射线的解释中:全能的神之火焰,在自身的呼吸中,把两道光投射进入纯净的电子圣光海洋中。这么说吧,这种智能的圣光物质成为了来自‘伟大我是临在’的光射线外衣。每一道光线都拥有着神格所有的特性,任何不完美都无法进入或记录在它上面。该个体化的火焰向下发送给每条光射线一个焦点或火花,形成了一个中心区,也是在这里聚集起电子圣光物质,创造了电子身体。围绕着这具电子身体,光射线的焦点又向下发射出强度较低的光射线,形成了一个能量场、力场。这个力场有时候也被称为因果体,在因果体中储存了每次转世与转世间隔期间所有建设性努力的结果。人格自我在物质层面体验时建设性使用的所有电子物质也储存其中。通过它,神之火焰可以向空间中发射出其生命能量波的更大释放。”

“The Causal Body, through the personality’s journey in physical experience, becomes an Ever-expanding Sun and a Self-sustained Outpouring of Limitless Ideas, Love, Wisdom and Power, flowing out forever on Rays of Love to the rest of this Universe. This Sun is in reality a Reservoir of constructively used energy and substance, gathered through human experience and drawn upward, so It becomes the Glory of the ‘God Flame,’ which mark you, never loses Its individual identity in the Universe. This is how the Beautiful, Joyous, Perfect, Limitless Activity of Life and Creation goes on— ever expanding Its Perfection.

“因果体,通过人格在物质层面的体验之旅,成为了一个不断拓展的太阳,自我维系的无限思想、爱、智慧和力量的倾洒,永远以爱之光芒流向这个宇宙其他地方。这太阳实际上是一个建设性使用的能量和物质的储存库,通过人类的体验储存起来并向上聚集,因此它成为了‘神之火焰’的荣耀,这也是你的个人标记,永远不会失去其在宇宙中的个体化身份。生命和创造的美丽、喜悦、完美和无限的活动就是这样持续进行的 —— 不断拓展它的完美。”

“The Universal Substance and Energy which the personal self uses discordantly accumulates in the atmosphere around the physical body of both the personality and the Earth. Periodically it builds a vortex and can only be purified and returned to the Great Sea of Universal Light by the activity of the Fire Element.

“人格自我不和谐地使用的那些宇宙物质和能量,会积累在人格和地球的物质身体以及大气中。它周期性地形成一个漩涡,只能通过火元素活动的净化,才能返回至宇宙圣光的海洋中。”

“The purifying process of the Fire Element acting within the flesh of the human body to consume wrong qualities sometimes produces the sensation of pain if wrongly qualified by the personality; but if the Fire Element acts within the flesh of the human body to vivify and energize, It produces the sensation of Peace, Exhilaration and Ecstasy. If acting in the atmosphere of the Earth and within Nature to purify, It sometimes produces volcanic and cataclysmic conditions; when acting to vivify and energize in Nature, It produces marvelous growth and pure, rarefied air which vitalizes all.

“在火元素净化人体肉身的过程中,它会吞噬所有错误的特质,这些特质若是被人格自我错误地限定,有时候会产生疼痛感。但是如果火元素在人体肉身中去恢复活力并提供能量时,它会产生平和、提升和欣喜的感觉。如果在地球大气层和大自然中发挥净化作用,它有时候会带来火山活动或灾难性的状况;当火元素在大自然中去恢复活力并提供能量时,它会带来美妙的成长作用,纯净净化空气,使万物欣欣向荣。”​

“The personal self of every individual is endowed with the Power of Choice as to what it wishes to think, to feel, to create and experience. If one uses all the substance and energy of his Being construc­tively, then Peace, Expansion, Joy, Opulence, and Glory are the return unto Life for the Outpouring of Its Gifts. If one chooses and creates otherwise, his misery and destruction return into himself and destroy his body.

“每个个体的人格自我都被赋予了选择的力量,可以选择它想要思考、感受、创造和体验什么。如果一个人建设性地使用他存在的所有物质和能量,那么和平、拓展、喜悦、欢乐、富足和荣耀将会返回到他的生命中,因为这是生命自身礼物的倾洒。如果一个人做出相反的选择,进行破坏性的行动,他的痛苦和毁灭就会回到他自己身上,摧毁他的身体。”

“The personal self is a Custodian of Life, of Ideas, and of ‘Light Substance’ Pure Electronic Substance. The very fact that one is in existence as a human being is an open acknowledgment to those who are able to read the Book of Life, that he has decreed to come into individual existence and accepted of his own choice the Responsibility of being a Creator. Everyone must carry the responsibility of his world. If he has created, because of the appetites of the physical body, things and conditions he does not enjoy, he has all power to purify and dissolve them by the right use of the Fire Element—of which Divine Love is the Highest, Most Powerful, and Eternal Activity.

“人格自我是生命、思想和‘圣光物质’的纯粹电子精华的守护者。一个个体作为人存在的这个事实就是对那些阅读《生命之书》的人的认可,他给出了进入个体存在的喻令,并接受他自己的选择,承担起作为创造者的责任。每个人都必须肩负起他自己世界中的责任。如果出自肉身的欲望,他创造了自己不喜欢的事物和状态,他拥有通过正确地使用火元素来净化和消融它们的所有力量 —— 其中神圣之爱是最高等、最强大和永恒的活动。”

“If he desires to set his personal self and world in order and therefore have Peace and create a world of Joy, Perfection and Glory, he must look to his Electronic Body for the Pattern of his Divine Perfection; for It cannot and never will be found anywhere else. There, and there only, can the personal self ever find security, rest, satisfaction, joy, and the Fulfillment of every constructive desire, for in the Fullness of the Presence are the things that you desire.

“如果他希望他个人自我和所在世界井然有序从而拥有和平,并创造一个拥有喜悦、完美和荣耀的世界,那么他必须从他的电子身体中寻找他神圣完美的模式;因为你无法、也永远不会从其他地方发现它。在那里,也只有在那里,个人自我才能永远找到安全感、休息、满足、快乐,以及每一个建设性愿望的圆满,因为在全然的临在中才会找到你真正想要的东西。”

“This Perfect, Eternal, Electronic Body abides from twelve to fifty feet above the physical body of every individual, unless he be a very low or destructive type, when It withdraws still farther away.

“这个完美、永恒的电子身体,停留在每个人肉身上空十二至五十英尺的距离,除非这个人是非常低等或破坏性强的类型,那时电子身体就会撤退至更远的地方。”

‘This is the Son and Sun of God, for the Electronic Body of every Individualized Flame of God is a Dazzling, Blazing Light of such intensity that the human eyes can only gaze upon It for the fraction of a second. By adoration to the God Flame and purification of Its instrument—the personal self—the outer activity of the mind and physical body becomes raised in vibratory attunement to see the Electronic Body clearly within the Blazing Light of the force field around It. The physical body or actual atomic structure of the flesh is the densest form and is the record of the outer activity of the mind.

“这就是太阳和神之子,因为每一个个体化的神之火焰的电子身体都是闪耀绚烂的圣光,这道光非常强度很高,人类的肉眼只能凝视几分之一秒的时间。通过对神之火焰的崇敬以及对其载具的净化 —— 也就是人格自我 —— 心智和物质身体的外在活动在振动调和中得到提升,从而可以在环绕着它力场的闪耀光芒中清晰地看到电子身体。物质身体或肉身实际上的原子结构是最致密的形态,是心智外在活动的记录。”

“In certain phases of religious explanation concerning this Electronic Body, It has been referred to many times as the Guardian Angel. It is all of that and more when really understood and comprehended. To It, the personal self should look for the Supply of every good thing as a child looks to its mother. All that is within the God Flame flows into the Electronic Body, where the Tremendous Power and Intensity of the Light of the ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ is stepped down to a degree that can act in the vibratory octave of the physical world.

“在宗教对这具电子身体解释的某些阶段中,它常被称为守护天使。当它被真正地明白和理解时,它就是所有这一切,甚至更多。人格自我应该像孩子去寻找母亲那样去找寻它,因为它是所有一切美好事物的供应。神之火焰中的所有一切都流向电子身体,在那里,‘伟大我是临在’圣光的巨大力量和强度被降频至可以在物质世界的振动范围发挥作用的程度。”

“From the Heart Center of the Electronic Body flows a Stream of Life Essence, or Liquid Light, which enters the physical body through the pineal gland and fills the nerve channels. This Liquid White Fire flows through the nerves as blood does through the veins. This beats the heart, moves the muscles of the body, and enables one to walk or raise the hand. It is also the Energizing Light within the brain cells.

“从电子身体的中心处,流出一道生命精华能量流,也就是液态圣光,通过松果体进入物质身体,遍布神经系统。这道液态的白色火焰流经神经系统,就像血液流经血管一样。它让心脏跳动,让身体的肌肉运动,让一个人可以行走或是举起手。它也是脑细胞内的能量圣光。”

“The Life Stream of the body has often been referred to as the ‘Silver Cord’, So It is; for the Stream of Liquid White Light pulsates continually through the flesh body by way of the nervous system. At so-called death, the ’God Presence’ withdraws the Stream of Liquid Light, and the flesh disintegrates. The reason the race continues to experience so-called death is because of the waste of this Electronic Light through emotional excesses, instead of retaining It within the physical brain and body to rebuild the cellular structure and supply the Motive Power for the entire body.

“这道身体的生命溪流有时也被称为‘银索’,如此名,因为白色液态圣光能量流持续地在身体中通过神经系统脉动着。在所谓的死亡时,‘神之临在’会收回液态圣光能量流,肉身随之瓦解。人类种族之所以持续经历所谓的死亡是因为通过过度的情绪浪费了这道电子圣光,而不是把它留存在物质大脑和身体之中,重建细胞结构并为整个身体提供动力。”

“Mankind does not like to hear this Truth, but the waste of the Life Energy through uncontrolled feeling is the cause of the disintegration of all physical bodies outside of violence. If one uses the Inner Sight to observe the Life Stream of a strong healthy child, he will see the nerves of the body full of this Dazzling Liquid White Light.

“人类并不想听到这个真理,通过不受控的情感浪费生命能量是除了暴力之外让所有物质身体瓦解的原因所在。如果一个人用内在的视觉去观察一个强壮健康孩子的生命流,他就会看到孩子全身的神经都布满了这种耀眼的白色液态圣光。”

“Then if he observes the body of the same child when ill or fatigued, he will see the Light greatly diminished. In an old body, it is still more greatly dimmed, and if one wishes to observe the Soul passing out of the body at so-called death, he will see this Life Stream entirely withdrawn at the top of the head, until It becomes only a thin thread of Light which finally breaks. At that moment, the heart ceases to beat.

“然后,如果他在这个孩子生病或疲劳时观察他的身体,他就会看到圣光极大减弱。在一具年老的身体中,这光会更加暗淡,如果有人想在所谓的死亡之时,也就是从物质身体脱离后观察到灵魂,他就会看到这道生命能量流从头顶的位置完全地收回,慢慢地变成一根细细的光丝,最终光丝断裂。那一刻,心脏也停止了跳动。”

“Again, let us return to the explanation of the Rays: Nada and Bob Singleton are two other Rays of an Individualized God Flame. Whether you choose to accept this wonderful fact depends entirely upon yourselves. I do not even suggest—but knowing the secret feeling of your Hearts as I do, it is my privilege to disclose this much. It will explain some of the feeling which you have not understood.

“现在让我们回到对光射线的解释中:娜达和鲍勃·辛格尔顿是同一个个体化神之火焰的两道光射线。你们是否愿意接受这个美好的事实,完全取决于你们自己。我不会给出建议 —— 但是我了解你们心中的秘密感受,我很荣幸向你们讲明白这么多。这会解释一些你们不理解的感觉。”

“My sincere hope is that all four of you will be able to raise your bodies in this Life—with the outer attention consciously directed to that point. With the Assistance which We can give at the proper time, you will be able to accomplish the Final Attainment. I feel your gratitude, for which I thank you. In answer to your thought of why this Glorious Privilege is yours, I want you to know that it is because of previous growth. Your own Indwelling ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ commands It for your Safeguard and Illumination.

“我真诚的希望你们四位都能够在这一世提升你们的身体 —— 外在的注意力有意识地指向那一点。在适当的时候,我们也会提供帮助,这样你们就可以完成最终的成就。我感受到了你们的感激之情,为此我也感谢你们。你们在想为什么会拥有这项荣耀的特权,为了回答这个想法,我想让你们知道,这是由于你们之前的成长。居住在你们内在的‘伟大我是临在’命令它为你们提供保护和开悟。”

“I shall now give you the Explanation of the Law by which you are able to illuminate, raise the physical body, and express the Full Dominion, Vic­tory, and Freedom of the Ascended Masters:

“我现在要把法则解释给你们,这样你们就可以开悟,提升物质身体,表达出扬升大师全然的主宰、胜利和自由。”

“The seed within man and woman is only intended for the sacred office of creating a body by which another Soul may come into physical embodiment. At all other times, the Glorious Light within the body should be raised into the top of the head and allowed to flow up in adoration unto the ‘Mighty I AM Presence.’ Then by uplifted thoughts and feeling, one can do creative work at the mental level through glorious ideas, ideals of art, music, invention, discovery, research, and the creation of beauty and harmony of every description through a Service that blesses humanity, and therefore the individual who gives it.

“男人和女人身体中的生殖细胞的唯一神圣职责就是打造一具身体,从而让另一个灵魂可以进入肉身中进行转世。在其他所有的时间,身体内荣耀的圣光应该被提升至头顶,在对‘伟大我是临在’的尊崇中向上流动。然后,通过提升思想和情感,一个人可以在心智层通过荣耀的想法、艺术表达、音乐、发明、探索、研究、创造各种美丽与和谐来完成创造性的工作,通过给予这些服务的个体,来祝福全人类。”

“Instead of wasting the wonderful Liquid Light, the Marvelous God-given Essence of Life, in sex sensation and excesses, whereby the body becomes decrepit, flabby, crippled, face lined, eyes dull, the whole structure stooped and feeble, the brain inactive, sight and hearing impaired, and the memory not able to function—this Energy should be rightly used in wonderful, idealistic Creative Activity.

“与其在性爱的感官和沉迷中浪费这美妙的液态圣光和神赐予的美妙生命精华,让身体变得衰老、松弛、残废、面部皱纹、眼睛呆滞、整个身体结构无力、大脑不活跃、视力和听力受损,以及记忆力无法发挥作用—— 不如正确地把它用在美妙、理想注意的创造性活动中。”

“In such constructive consciousness and accomplishment, the physical body would remain eternally youthful and beautiful, the brain and faculties keen, alert, and active; and the whole physical expression would become the Image and Likeness of the living God—truly the ’Temple of the Most High!’

“在这种建设性的意识和成就中,身体将永远年轻美丽,大脑和机能也会敏锐、警觉和活跃;整个物质层面会表达出永生之神的风采 —— 真正的‘至高圣殿’!”

“‘Your bodies are now calling for their accustomed rest. The chambers are in readiness. Sleep until you awaken. I commend you to the Embrace of your Glorious ‘Mighty I AM Presence.’ Rest in peace.

“你们的身体现在需要它们通常的休息。房间已经准备好了,睡到自然醒。我建议你们在拥抱着自己荣耀的‘伟大我是临在’中安然入睡。”

We returned to our beautiful sleeping chambers where all was in readiness. The most delightful fragrance of roses permeated everything, and we certainly never rested upon more comfortable couches, nor enjoyed such divine repose. Rex was very happy to find that Pearl was the “Twin Ray” of his own God Flame, and in speaking of her after he and I had gone to our room, said:

我们回到我们美丽的房间,所有一切准备就绪。最令人愉悦的是渗透一切的玫瑰芬芳,我们休憩的沙发从未如此舒适,我们以前的休息也从未如此神圣。雷克斯很开心地发现珀尔就是他自己神之火焰的“双生光”,当他和我返回到我们的房间后,他对我说:

“Ever since we first met, I have felt a strange attraction to Pearl, and whenever in her presence, I am always conscious of a sense of quiet content­ment. Our Blessed Saint Germain has certainly explained all most wonderfully, and I am deeply grateful.”

“自从我们第一次见面以来,我就感受到珀尔对我的一种奇异的吸引力。每当她在时,我总是会感觉到一种安静的满足感。我们敬爱的圣哲曼无疑已经对这一切做出了最精彩的解释,对此我深深感激。”

“In giving this explanation to me some months ago,” I replied, “He said to me: ‘The Beautiful Love of one Ray for its Twin Ray is tremendously uplifting, exalting, wonderful, and infinitely more joyous than when the great Current of Liquid Fire, the Life Stream of the Universe, is turned downward and becomes passion.

“在几个月前他对我的解释中,”我回答道:“他对我说:‘与伟大液态生命之流、宇宙生命能量流向下流动转变成的激情相比,一道光对其双生光的美丽之爱是非常振奋、提升、美妙、无限快乐的。’”

“This Mighty, Concentrated Electronic Force, or Life Essence, is a Liquid Light which flows wherever the attention directs It. The mind’s attention is pulled this way and that by thought, feeling, sight, and hearing—in fact by the pull of all the physical senses. The True Understanding of what Mighty Power is at your command when you have full control over your attention cannot be overestimated. The Liquid Electronic Essence is this Mighty Energy, and It energizes whatever the attention rests upon.

“这强大集中的电子力、生命精华,是一种液态圣光,它流向注意力所指引的所有地方。心智的注意力通过这种方式被拉扯,通过想法、感觉、视觉、听觉 —— 事实上通过所有的身体感官把注意力拉到这里或那里。当你完全掌控了你的注意力,你就会获得你对所掌控强大力量的真正理解。这种液态电子圣光就是这种伟大的能量,它会为注意力所关注的一切提供能量。”

” If one be doing intense mental work, the Liquid Light stays within the brain and flows forth through the center of the forehead between the eyes as a Ray of Light, and if the Inner Sight be opened, one can easily and always see It. If one be speaking, this Pure Mighty Energy flows forth through the Throat Center as sound. If one be pouring out Divine Love, this Liquid Light flows forth as a Radiance from the Heart Center.

“如果一个人做高强度的心智工作,液态圣光就会停留在大脑中,并通过额头双眼之间的中心以一道圣光的形态流出。如果内在视觉被打开,一个人就可以很容易地看到这道光。如果这个人在说话,那么这道纯净的伟大能量就是从喉轮以声音的形式流出。如果一个人倾洒出神圣之爱,这道液态圣光就会从心轮以光芒的形态流出。”

“If one be sending out intense feeling, It flows forth from the solar plexus. Here It also performs the function of digesting the food. If one has the Inner Sight opened, he will see a Stream of Light pouring out from whatever center the energy is being used at the moment. This Pure Liquid Light becomes colored by whatever quality the personality imposes upon It through the thought, feeling, and spoken word. Here lies one’s responsibility as a creator, and the means by which he can correct or purify whatever has been wrongly created.

“如果一个人发出强烈的感觉,它就会从太阳神经丛流出。这里也是消化食物的功能所在之处。如果一个人内在视觉是打开的,他就会看到圣光从当时正在使用的能量中心倾洒而出。这道纯净的液态圣光会因人格施加通过想法、感觉和说出的话语来赋予它特质变得有颜色。这就是一个人作为创造者的责任所在,也是通过这种方式他可以纠正或净化曾经错误的创造。”

” If this Life Essence is released at the generative center for sex pleasure instead of building a new physical embodiment for another Soul, the process of disintegration of the physical body is started, and the journey to self-generated dissolution of the body begins. It matters not what human opinion says to the contrary; this is the inevitable, inexorable Law of physical embodiment, and there is no person in the Universe who can change It.

“如果这道生命精华在生殖中心为了性愉悦被释放,而不是为了给另一个灵魂打造一具新的物质载具,那么物质身体的瓦解过程就开始了,身体自我瓦解的旅程就开始了。人们对这一点的看法与之向左并不重要,这是物质身体遵循的不可避免的坚定不移的法则,宇宙中没有任何人可以改变它。”

“This is the principal reason for the condition that is called death within the race as a whole. Let anyone who disagrees with this Truth compare the brain and body of one who conserves this Liquid Light over a period of a few years with that of one who has wasted It over a similar period, and he will not need any other proof. The conservation of this Liquid Electronic Light and the conscious lifting of It by adoration to the “Mighty I AM Presence” and by the power of the mind through the control of the attention is the Way of Perfection, and is safe, sound, sensible and reasonable. It can have only harmonious, constructive results to the mind, the body and world of the individual.

“这就是在一个种族整体中发生所谓死亡状况的主要原因。让任何一个不同意这个真理的人,与另一位保持这道液态圣光的人进行比较,经过几年的光阴,比较那些浪费这道圣光与保存这道圣光的人的大脑和身体,他就不再需要其他证据了。通过对‘伟大我是临在’的尊崇,保存下来的这种液态电子圣光会被有意识地提升,通过心智的力量、通过对注意力的控制,就可以达成完美之道,这种方式是安全、健全、明智且合理的。它只会对这个人的心智、身体和所在的世界带来和谐的、建设性的结果。”

“This is not a system of repression by the power of the human will. That is and will always be disastrous, for to dam up a highly-concentrated energy and then by thought, feeling and suggestion keep driving more of it to that point through thinking upon it in secret, must of necessity cause an explosion of some kind to take place. That method never was the original spiritual teaching of anyone who really knew and understood the Truth and the Law concerning it.

“这并不是通过人类意志的力量进行压制的系统。那会是灾难性的,因为堵塞了高度集中的能量,通过私下对它进行思考,通过思想、感觉和建议,不断地将更多能量驱使到那个点,”这必然会导致某种爆发性事件的发生。这种方法也从来不是那些真正了解和理解有关它真相和法则的人的原始灵性教导。

“Humanity has not except in a very small degree, understood this Truth, or thousands would have become Ascended Masters long before now. In order to rise out of the degradation, misery, poverty, and disaster in which the mass is now wallowing, the individual must come to a clear understanding of this Law in the outer activity of his mind. Through his conscious knowledge and control of the emotions, he shuts the door to the most dangerous and subtle suggestions from the psychic plane —which is the most unrecognized enemy and vicious activity of the sinister force in this world.

“就对这一真理的理解而言,人类理解程度非得低,否则在很久之前就会有成千上万的扬升大师了。大众正沉迷于堕落、苦难、贫困和灾难,为了从这些之中脱离出来,一个人必须在他心智的外在活动中对这一法则有着清楚的理解。通过他有意识的理解和对情绪的控制,他就关闭了心理层面最危险和最微妙建议的大门 —— 它是这个世界上最不为人知的敌人和邪恶力量的恶毒活动。”

“The feeling nature of mankind is a reservoir of energy, and it is impossible for thoughts to become things until one propels them forth into the Sea of Electronic Substance—by feeling.”

“人类感觉的本性是能量的储存库,只有 —— 通过感觉把想法推入到电子物质的海洋中,思想才能成为事物。”

As we retired, the Glorious Illumination of our room faded out, and we were soon fast asleep. Such heavenly rest none of us had ever before experienced. We must have slept fully twelve hours when the most glorious tones of a bell sounded through the chamber, and the Dazzling Illumination gradually again filled the room.

当我们入睡时,我们房间辉煌的灯火逐渐熄灭,我们很快就睡着了。我们从来没有经历过如此安逸的休息。我们一定睡了足足十二个小时,当房间里响起美妙的钟声时,耀眼的光又逐渐充满了整个房间。

When we had bathed and donned our Robes, we found a most delicious breakfast awaiting, served on an exquisite crystal-top table which neither of us had noticed as being there before. On it was food of which we had never heard, more delicate and delicious than can ever be served by any culinary artist of this world. The dishes looked as if they were made of mother-of-pearl, with heavy gold bands, and the rest of the service was made of wonderful semi-transparent metal with pearl handles. We dined and were discussing the wonders we had been experiencing, when the table with its entire beautiful service disappeared before our eyes.

当我们沐浴完毕,穿上长袍后,我们发现一份最美味的早餐在等待着我们,早餐放置在了一张精美的水晶桌上,我们之前从未有人注意过那里有桌子。桌子上面摆放的是我们从来没有听说过的食物,比世界上任何一位烹饪艺术家制作的都更加精致和美味。装食物的盘子看上去是用珍珠母做的,有着厚厚的金边。其余的餐具都是用精致的半透明金属制作而成,上面有着珍珠材质的把手。就在我们吃完饭,讨论着我们经历的奇迹时,餐桌以及上面所有精美的餐具都在我们的眼前消失了。

Again the sound of the beautiful bell filled the chamber. We went to the reception room and there found Nada and Pearl awaiting us. They looked radiantly beautiful. Youth always responds marvelously to the ‘Mighty Magic Presence,’ but in this change a Transformation had taken place that was more than usual with both of them revealing a Radiance which had never been in either of them. Both showed the awakening of a Great Love, and while they had experienced the same wonderful rest as we, yet they had undergone an even more wonderful change.

美妙的钟声再次充满了房间。我们去了接待室,发现娜达和珀尔在那里等待着我们。他们看起来闪耀着美丽的光芒。青年总是会对‘伟大神奇的临在’做出奇迹般的回应,但是这次的变化却是前所未有的蜕变,两人身上都绽放出从未有过的光辉。他们两人都表现出对一种伟大之爱的觉醒,虽然他们跟我们度过了同样的美妙休整,但是他们却经历了更美妙的变化。

We had only been talking a few moments when the great doors to the Crystal Chamber opened. We entered and found twelve more Ascended Masters present, making twenty-four with those whom we had already contacted while in this Retreat. Saint Germain presented us to Them, and I noticed one Lady and one Gentleman around whom the Light was dazzling, for Their Radiance shone brighter than the others. They came directly over to Nada and Rex, and with Indescribable Grace, greeted them both.

我们只聊了一会儿,水晶室的大门就敞开了。我们进去后发现还另有十二位扬升大师在场,与我们之前在这所隐蔽之处接触过的扬升大师加起来,一共有二十四位。圣哲曼把我们介绍给他们,我注意到其中一位女士和男士身体的周围闪耀着光芒,因为他们散发出的光芒要比其他人更要明亮。他们来到娜达和雷克斯身边,用一种难以描述的优雅向他们两人打招呼。

“Beloved Brother and Sister,” said the Lady, “We come directly from the Sphere in which your dearly beloved mother sojourns. It is not Her Home, but She is there for certain training. You did not know it at the time, but if you could have looked within the casket before your mother was supposedly placed in the sarcophagus, you would not have found her physical body. We were two of the twelve present who were with the Mighty Master Saint Germain when the Assistance was given that enabled her to be raised into her Eternal Electronic Body. She wishes you to know this—now that you have become aware of and have accepted the Great Ascended Masters’ Way of Life.

“亲爱的兄弟姐妹,”那位女士说,“我们直接来自你们母亲旅居的地方。那里不是她的故乡,不过是她接受某种特定训练的地方。你们当时并不知情,但是如果你们可以在你们母亲下葬之前去查看本应放置她身体的石棺,就会发现她的肉身不在那里了。我们是当时在场的十二个人中的两位,与伟大的圣哲曼上师一起,给予她帮助,从而让她可以提升到她永恒的电子身体中。她希望你们知道这一点 —— 既然你们已经知晓并接受了伟大扬升大师的生活方式。”

“These, Our Blessed Ascended Brothers, have found that each of you can be given the necessary Assistance to raise your bodies as She has done when the humanly accustomed time of your earthly pilgrimage is finished. The third night here, She will come to you as We do now. Tonight, Nada and her father will have a very happy surprise.”

“我们这些受到祝福的扬升兄弟们,发现可以给予你们必要的帮助来提升你们的身体,就像你们的母亲在尘世中的朝圣之旅终结时所做的那样。第三天晚上,在这里,她会来找你们,就像我们现在来找你们一样。今晚,娜达和她的父亲会有一个非常快乐的惊喜。”

Again the bell sounded, and our Beloved Saint Germain announced that all were to enter the electrical laboratory. Passing into that room we found the Marvelous Atomic Accelerator aglow with Great Currents of Light. He asked Daniel Rayborn to take his place in the Chair. The two Radiant Masters stood at opposite points in the circle, one in front, the other behind Rayborn— Saint Germain standing within the circle of twenty-one. Again He asked me to watch the process closely.

钟声再次响起,我们敬爱的圣哲曼宣告我们所有的人都进入电子实验室。走进那间屋子,我们发现那架奇妙的原子加速器散发着圣光能量流。他让丹尼尔·雷伯恩坐在椅子上。两位闪耀的上师站在圆圈内相对的位置上,一个站在雷伯恩身前,另一位站在他身后 —— 圣哲曼站在由二十一人围绕的圆圈里。再次,他让我仔细观察这个过程。

In an instant, the Light within Rayborn’s body began to increase, and his face revealed great joy. Within the Light around him were particles of substance, continually rising as the impurities in his physical body were thrown off and consumed. This lasted about ten minutes; then I saw his hair gradually return to its natural color, a dark brown, and his face become radiant and youthful. The Light within the Chair gradually disappeared, and the laboratory was again as usual.

一瞬间,雷伯恩身体内的圣光开始增加,他的脸上流露出极大的喜悦。在他周围的圣光中不断升起的是他物质身体中抛出并被吞噬的杂质。这大约持续了十分钟,然后我看到他的头发逐渐恢复到了其自然的色彩,深棕色;他的脸变得容光焕发而且年轻。椅子上的光芒逐渐消失,实验室又恢复如往常。

Saint Germain extended His hand to Mr. Rayborn and he stepped down lightly, as if scarcely conscious of any weight. For more than an hour, the Radiance about his face and the Brilliant “Light” within his eyes was most remarkable.

圣哲曼向雷伯恩先生伸出手,他轻轻地从椅子上走了下来,似乎感觉不到任何重量。在之后的一个多小时内,他脸上的光芒和他眼中璀璨的“圣光”绚烂无比。

“Words can never describe the Marvels I have experienced,” he said, turning to us, “and for the first time in my Life, ‘I AM’ beginning to know the real meaning of Life. We do not dream in the unascended state what a small fraction of the Mighty Principle of Life we appropriate and use in our ordinary mundane experience.”

“言语无法描述我所体验的奇迹,”他转向我们说,“我生命中的第一次,‘我是’开始了解生命的真正意义。我们在未扬升的状态下,做梦也想不到,在我们日常的世俗生活中,我们仅仅使用了生命伟大法则的多么小一部分。”

“Each of you,” said Saint Germain, “has been tremendously uplifted through the Powerful Radiation of this Marvelous Atomic Accelerator.”

圣哲曼说,“你们中的每个人,通过这个神奇原子加速器的强大照耀,都得到了极大的提升。”

We returned to the Crystal Chamber and noticed that chairs to seat twenty-four persons had been placed around the large crystal-top table. The two Radiant Masters took Their seats at the ends, our Beloved Master in the middle, and Nada opposite Him.

我们返回水晶大厅,注意到那个有着水晶桌面的桌子周围放置着可以容纳24人的椅子。两位闪耀的上师坐在桌子两端,我们敬爱的上师坐在中间,娜达坐在他对面。

“Focus your attention upon Bob Singleton,” He said, addressing Nada, “and request him to come to us.” Almost instantly, a soft rose-colored Light enveloped all, accompanied by a most delicate fragrance of roses. In a few moments a beautiful blue formed around the rose-colored circle. This was followed by a radiance of gold around the blue. Then we heard a sound like the swish of wings, and Bob Singleton, in a tangible, visible body stood upon the table before us accompanied by the two Radiant Masters who before had been sitting at the ends of the table. I had not noticed that They had left until Their return with Bob.

“把你的注意力放在鲍勃·辛格尔顿上,”他对娜达说,“邀请他来到我们这里。”几乎一瞬间,柔和的玫瑰光芒笼罩了所有的人,并伴随着淡淡的玫瑰花香。片刻之后,玫瑰色的光圈周围出现了美丽的蓝色。之后围绕着蓝色又出现了金色光芒。然后我们听到翅膀拍打的声音。鲍勃·辛格尔顿以可以触碰的可见身体、与刚刚坐在桌子两端的两位闪耀的上师一起,站在了桌子上。在他们跟鲍勃一起露面之前,我甚至都没有注意到他们的离开。

As he stood there, I could see his form becoming more and more dense, until presently his body was as tangible as my own. Saint Germain arose and extended His hand to Bob as he stepped lightly from the table. We all rose to our feet, and Nada looked steadily at him an instant as the rest were about to offer their greetings. Bob put his arms around her and held her close to his Heart.

当他站在那里,我可以看到他的身形变得越来越稠密,直至他的身体和我们的身体一样可以触碰。圣哲曼站起来,向鲍勃伸出手,鲍勃轻盈地从桌子上走了下来。我们都站起来,当我们都准备好向他问好时,娜达定定地看着他。鲍勃用双臂环绕着娜达,让她靠近自己的心。

“My Precious Love,” he said, “I have always seen you in my dreams. When you came to the mine, I knew you as my Angel Love, but you seemed so far beyond me, I did not even dare to hope. Now to hold you in my arms is the most divine thing I know. In the Glorious Freedom of this Inner Body, I see the Light of Divine Love between your blessed brother and my dear sister. My gratitude is boundless.”

“亲爱的,”他说,“我总是在梦中见到你。当你来到矿山时,我就知道你是我的天使之爱,但是你似乎总是离我太遥远,我甚至都不敢去希望。现在把你拥在怀里是我所知道的最神圣的事情。在内在身体的荣耀自由中,我看到了你那受到福佑的兄弟和我亲爱的妹妹之间神圣之爱的光芒。我的感激之情是无限的。”

Daniel Rayborn stepped forward with extended hands and gave his blessing to this Great and Divine Love; then turning to Pearl and Rex, gave them his blessing also, saying that in his highly attuned state, he realized all more clearly.

丹尼尔·雷伯恩伸出双臂走向前,为这伟大神圣的爱而祝福;然后他转向珀尔和雷克斯,也给予他们祝福,他说在这种高度校准的状态中,他更清晰地了解了所有一切。

“Will I be able to remember this,” said Bob, turning to Saint Germain, “when I return to my body?” and He replied:

“当我回到自己的身体中时,还能记起这一切吗?”鲍勃转向圣哲曼问到,圣哲曼回答说:

“You shall do so if you wish. The Privilege granted you at this time is a very rare occurrence, for you are clothed in a temporary body. However, it is just as tangible as your own physical body and as the physical bodies of the others here.”

“如果你愿意的话,你可以记住这些。这次赋予你的特权是很罕见的,因为你穿着一具临时的身体。不过,这具身体就像你自己的物质身体以及在场其他人的物质身体一样,是有形的。”

Everyone came forward and congratulated the happy lovers, the Ascended Masters making a connecting link through which Assistance could be given at any time in the future in case of need. It was then we were told that the two Radiant Masters were also “Twin Rays.” The Ascended Masters present knew Bob from contact with him in the Higher Spheres, but he did not retain the memory of his acquaintance with Them. When Saint Germain stepped forward, Bob would have kneeled before Him.

每个人都走上前来祝福这对幸福的爱人,扬升大师们搭建了一个连接纽带,通过这个连接,在未来需要时便可以提供帮助。也是在那时我们被告知这两位闪耀的上师也是“双生光”。在场的扬升大师通过与鲍勃在更高领域建立的连结认识了他,但是他并没有保留与他们相识的记忆。当圣哲曼走上前时,鲍勃将要跪倒在他面前。

“No, Bob,” He said, raising His hand in protest, “your own ‘Indwelling I AM Presence’ is just as Great as the Ascended Masters who have found the way before you to complete Mastery and Freedom. To It belongs your First Love, Recognition, and Worship at all times—never forget that. ‘I AM’ your Elder Brother, that is all; and it is My Privilege to assist you to that same Freedom. It is at the Command of your own ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ that you are enabled to be here in this manner tonight. It is always a joy to be of any assistance that the Great Law of your Being permits.

“不,鲍勃,”他边说边举起手以示反对,“你自己‘内在居住的我是临在’与这些扬升大师一样伟大,他们于你之前找到了通往完全主宰和自由之路。总是要把它放在首要去爱、去认可和尊崇的位置 —— 永远不要忘记这一点。‘我是’你的兄长,仅此而已;来帮助你获得同样的自由,是我的荣幸。正是在你自己‘伟大我是临在’的帮助下,你今晚才能以这种方式来到这里。在你存在的伟大法则的允许范围内提供各种形式的帮助,是一件令人快乐的事情。”

“I wish you to come tomorrow night in this same manner, that you may meet your sweetheart’s mother, for She will also be here at that time. Much is being done which you do not now understand, but your beautiful Love and Trust is opening wide the gates to Blessings of which you do not dream. However, the full understanding will come as you progress. Arrange your work at the mine so as to retire promptly at nine o’clock. Now you must return to your physical body.” He then asked us all to form a circle about Bob.

“我希望你明晚也以同样方式来到这里,这样你就可以看到你所爱之人的母亲,那时她也会来到这里。很多事情正在进行着,你尚不能理解,但是你美丽的爱与信任正在打开你梦寐以求的祝福之门。不过,随着你的进步,全然的理解就会到来。安排好你在矿场的工作,在九点钟的时候你要处于休息的状态。现在你必须要回到你的物质身体中去了。”然后他让我们所有人环绕鲍勃成一个圆圈。

In a few moments the Radiant Circle of Light in rose, blue, and gold again enveloped us. The two Radiant Masters took Their places beside Bob, and in an instant, all three disappeared. The rest of us walked about in the Crystal Chamber, and in about twenty minutes the Radiant Ones reappeared in our midst.

片刻之后,玫瑰色、蓝色和金色的光圈再次环绕着我们。两位闪耀的上师站在了鲍勃的身旁,一瞬间,他们三位都消失了。我们剩下的人在水晶室里走来走去,大约二十分钟后,两位闪耀的存有又回到我们中央。

Never in my whole existence have I ever experienced such wonderful joy and unspeakable Divine Love as radiated from everyone present. This finished our work until the following evening. The twelve Ascended Masters who had appeared last formed into a circle, and in a few moments, disappeared from view. The remaining six, after extending to us Their Blessing, vanished before our eyes.

我一生之中从未有过这样体验,在场的每个人都散发出如此美妙的喜悦和难以言语的神圣之爱。我们在第二天晚上才完成了我们的工作。后来出现的十二位扬升大师围成一个圆圈,片刻之后消失在我们的视野中。剩下的六位,向我们施以祝福后,就消失在我们面前。

We all gathered around our Beloved Saint Germain in boundless gratitude for the Marvels we had witnessed and the Limitless Blessing we had received.

我们聚集在我们敬爱的圣哲曼周围,对我们看到的奇迹和收到的无限祝福怀着无限感激之情。

“My Beloved Students,” He explained, “do you not see how much easier, how much more joyous it is to rise above all human, earthly limitations and produce whatever you require direct from the Universal Substance—which is the Eternal, Omni-present Supply of everything you can ever desire? Each one of you who has been requested to come here can learn to do this much sooner than you dare to imagine in the outer activity of your mind. The time required to attain this Mastery is tremendously shortened when the individual comes to the understanding that his physical body is the Temple of the ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ the GOD of the Universe; and the very Life Energy which moves his body across the floor is the Most High Living God! This is the Christ, the Only Begotten Son—God in Action. However, I find many who get tremendous results by thinking of It as the Ascended Master Within, or the ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ to whom they can talk. This ‘Presence’ is a Glorious Blazing Light. You can see Its Light within your outer mind and body—Its Visible, Tangible Presence resting a short distance above your physical body. You can speak to It and receive Its Definite Answers, Perfect Direction and Wondrous Revelation.

“我敬爱的学生们,”他解释说,“难道你们没有看到,超越所有人类、世俗的限制,直接从宇宙物质中去生产你们所需要的任何东西,是多么容易,多么快乐 —— 宇宙物质是你们想要所有一切的永恒的、无所不在的供应。你们每一位被邀请到这里来的人学习速度都要比你们外在心智活动中想象的要快得多。当一个人开始理解他的物质身体是承载‘伟大我是临在’、宇宙之神的圣殿时,获得这样的掌控所需要的时间就会极大缩短;让一个人的身体可以在地板上行走的生命能量就是这至高的活着的神!这就是基督,神的独子 —— 行动中的神。不过,我发现很多人把它看作内在的扬升大师,或者是可以与之交谈的‘伟大的我是临在’,这些人取得了巨大的进步。该‘临在’是一道辉煌闪耀的圣光。你可以在你自己外在的心智和身体中看到其圣光 —— 它的可见、有形的临在就存在于你物质身体上方不远处。你可以跟它讲话,接受到它明确的答案、完美的引导和美妙的揭示。”

“You can thus always be God directed if you will only contact your ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ close enough and often enough. Its Mighty Wisdom, Intelligence and Liquid Light will flow ceaselessly into whatever you wish to accomplish if you will but hold your attention steadfast upon the ‘Mighty Presence’ first and whatever you wish to attain second. Then follow this up by determined, persistent insistence. Such Almighty Power and Intelligence is absolutely Invincible and can never fail.

“因此,如果你愿意足够近距离且频繁地接触你‘伟大的我是临在’,你就总是处于神的引导中。它伟大的智慧、智能和液态圣光会源源不断地流入你想要完成的任何事情之中,只要你先把自己的注意力坚定不移地放在‘伟大的临在’上,然后放在你想要获得的事物上。然后坚定不移地坚持下去。这样的伟大力量和智能是绝对无敌的,而且永远不会失败。”

“Human doubt and fear, which are subtle feelings, can keep you from accepting this ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ and Its Perfection if you let them, but the ‘Presence’ never did and never can fail. This is a simple formula for quick, certain attainment. You cannot possibly estimate what tremendous advancement is possible in a short time if you will— because you can—consciously, continually, and completely accept the Wonderful Love, Intelligence and Power of the ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ whose Energy is flowing and acting through your mind and body every moment of the twenty-four hours.

“人类的怀疑和恐惧,这些微妙的情感,如果你允许的话,可能会阻止你接受‘伟大的我是临在’和它的完美,不过,这位‘临在’从来、也永远不会失败。这里有一个快速、确切的简单公式。如果你愿意的话 —— 你可以有意识地、持续地、完全地接受‘伟大我是临在’的美妙之爱、智慧和力量,让它的能量通过你的心智和身体,二十四小时不间断地流动和运作着,这在短时间内达成的进步,是你无法进行估量的。”

“There is one point that Real Students and those who wish attainment should know unmistakably, and that is concerning desire. No one can ever attain Mastery over human creation and gain the Ascension by an attitude of desirelessness, because without desire for attainment, attainment would not be possible. Remember forever that all Constructive Desire is God in Action in you; for if desire were not within the God Principle, manifestation would never have taken place. Until the Godhead desired manifestation, it could not come forth.

“有一点,真正的学生和那些希望获得成就的人应该准确无误地知晓的,就是关于愿望的。若是以了无心愿的态度,就没有人达成超越人类创造的掌控,也不会获得扬升。因为如果没有对成就的渴望,成就无法取得。永远要记住,所有的建设性的意愿都是神在你内在的行动;因为若是意愿不在神的法则之中,显化就不会发生。在神性想要得到显化之前,它是无法出现的。”

“The activity of desire is the forward-moving, or expanding motion of Life Itself, and can never be dispensed with. Life is Perpetual Motion, and the sustaining of that Activity is all Constructive Desire.

“愿望的活动是向前推动的,或者说,是生命本身的拓展运动,而且永远不会消散。生命是永恒的运动,维系这种活动的就是所有建设性的意愿。”

“However, be careful that you discriminate between desire and human appetite, for they are as far apart as Light and darkness. Appetite is but an accumulation of energy qualified by human feeling through the formation of habit in the sense organism only, and has nothing whatever to do with desire within God’s Life; for all that abides within Life is Pure, Perfect, and Constructive. Constructive Desire is eternally existent within Life. It is impossible to progress or express Life without some form of desire.

“不过,要小心区分心愿和人类的欲望,因为它们就像光明和黑暗一样差距甚大。欲望不过是一种能量的积累,通过在感官上形成的习惯由人类限定的情感积累而来,它与神之生命内在的愿望无关;因为生命中所有的一切都是纯净的、完美的、具有建设性的。建设性的意愿永远存在于生命之中。若是没有某种形式的愿望,生命就无法进步,也无法进行表达。”

“It is the student’s duty to be alert and on guard, discriminating always as to his motive for doing anything. He needs to be severely honest with himself in his feeling and motive, for many times the outer activity of the mind tries to make one think he is doing a thing from the standpoint of reason, when all the time he is doing it to satisfy a feeling instead.

“学生的职责是保持警惕,处于警觉之中,始终辨别自己做任何事情的动机。他需要对自己的感受和动机保持完全的真诚,因为很多时候,心智的外在活动会让这个人认为他是从理性的角度来做一件事情,而实际上他之所以这么做只是为了满足一种感觉。”

“As yet, the majority of the race are but creatures of feeling, for it controls them ninety percent more of the time than does the wisdom of the mind. That is why they are principally creatures of physical appetites instead of God-directed Masters of Circumstance and Dominion. Until the student takes his feeling body in hand and definitely controls it by the Love, Wisdom and Power of his ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ he cannot and never will be dependable, nor can he make permanent progress to Freedom. The ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ stores Its Force in the emotional body, or feeling body, and depends on this Energy to accomplish the Fulfillment of the Perfect Divine Plan of Life.

“到目前为止,人类种族的大多数都是感觉的造物,因为感觉控制他们的时间要比心智中智慧控制他们的时间多百分之九十。这就是为什么人类大多数是肉身欲望的造物,而不是处于主宰和统领之中的受神指引的上师。直至学生掌控了他的情绪体,并通过‘伟大我是临在’的爱、智慧和力量来对其进行控制,不然他永远都不会靠得住,也不会取得通往自由之门的永恒进步。‘伟大的我是临在’将其力量储存在情绪体、感觉体中,并依赖这种能量来实现完美的生命神圣计划。”

“Everyone knows the difference between a Constructive and destructive idea, and the difference between the feeling of Love, Peace, and Calm, and that of discord. So the simplest mind, even a child, innately knows the difference between the Divine Way of Life, a God Desire, and the human appetite for self-gratification. We are commanded to choose the Divine Way of Life, and if we do not compel the sense appetites to obey that Command, then we must suffer, experiencing chaos and destruction until we set our own world in order so it blends with the Great, Orderly, Harmonious Movement of the Whole. Purity, Order and Harmony are the Law of Perfection forever.

“每个人都知道建设性和破坏性的想法的区别,爱、平静、和平的感觉与不和谐感觉之间的区别。即便是一个孩子,最简单的头脑也天生就知道生命的神圣、神之意愿和人类自我满足欲望之间的区别。我们被命令着选择神圣的生活方式,如果我们不去强迫感官欲望服从这个命令,那么我们就会受苦,经历混乱和毁灭,直至我们让我们的世界井然有序,这样它就会与整体的伟大、有序与和谐的运动融为一体。纯净、有序、和谐是永恒完美的法则。”

“When one wishes to give way to his own feeling of resistance rather than still that feeling and replace it by Peace, he destroys himself—mind, body and world—because the Law is that whatever discordant thought and feeling is sent forth by a human being, it must first vibrate through the brain and body of the sender before it can reach into the rest of the Universe. After swinging out, it begins the return journey to its creator. While coming back, it gathers more of its kind, and that becomes the accretion of which the individual’s world is composed. This is The Law, and it is Immutable.

“若是一个人想屈服于自己的反抗感,而不是去平息这种感觉,用和平取代之,他就会摧毁自己的心智、身体和所在的世界 —— 因为法则是这样运作的,不论一个人发出怎样不和谐的想法和感觉,它的振动首先通过发送者的大脑和身体,然后才能到达宇宙的其余地方。在发送出去后,它就开始了返回到它创造者的旅途中。回来之时,又聚集了更多同类的想法和感觉,这些堆积在这个人所在的世界中。这是不变的生命法则。”

“When the Great Life Energy within the physical body is used constructively, the result is the greatest possible joy, happiness, and accomplishment—not only to ourselves, but to every person, place, condition and thing we control. Then the ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ through the vehicle of the personal self, manifests Divine Love in action—and the firmer and more concentrated the attention, the more powerful the action and the more marvelous the results.

“当物质身体中伟大的生命能量被建设性地使用时,结果就是更伟大的快乐、幸福和成就 —— 不仅仅是对我们自己而言,而是对我们掌控的每个人、每个地方和每个状况而言。接下来。‘伟大的我是临在’通过人格自我的载体,在行动中彰显出神圣之爱 —— 注意力越坚定、越集中,行动越有力量,结果就奇妙。”

“Now all go to your well-deserved rest. The All-Powerful Illumination and Infinite Peace of the Most High God attend each, for I shall have much to say to you at the close of Our Work tomorrow night. Let everyone remain in his bath not less than fifteen minutes; it will be especially prepared. Then there will be food awaiting you. With My Peace, Strength, and Love I enfold you, and to your own ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ I commend you all. Good night.”

“现在,大家都去享受你们应得的休息吧。至高无上之神的全能开悟和无限和平会伴随你们每个人,明晚我们的工作结束时,我还有很多话要跟你们说。你们每个人沐浴的时间不要少于十五分钟;这是特别准备的。然后会有等待着你们的食物。我用我的平和、力量和爱拥抱着你们,并向你们‘伟大的我是临在’称赞你们所有人。晚安。”

We went to our respective chambers and found everything aglow with the vivifying Life of the “Mighty I AM Presence.” The very atmosphere was charged with the Pure Electronic Light. Upon entering my bath, I was delighted by the very Living Presence within the water. It was like the magic caress of the Mother of all Life.

我们去了各自的房间,发现一切都因‘伟大我是临在’富有活力的生命而闪闪发光。空气中充满了纯粹的电子圣光。当我开始沐浴时,我很高兴地发现水中充满了生命的临在。这就像是万物之母的神奇爱抚那样。

Every atom in my body was quickened into that Radiant Peace that passeth all understanding. When we were ready for the meal, we stood before the mirror and scarcely knew ourselves—each looked and felt glowing and radiant. Our repast was heavenly, and after finishing it, we retired at once.

我身体中的每个原子都被激活进入那理解一切的光芒四射的和平之中。当我们准备好用餐时,我们站在镜子面前,发现几乎不认识自己了 —— 每个人都看起来感觉容光焕发、光彩夺目。我们的饭菜也很美味,吃完后,我们就马上回去休息了。

At five o’clock the following evening, we were awakened by the beautiful tone of the etheric bell sounding through our chambers, and we noticed the Radiance of the Light about us was much more dazzling than usual. It had been so quickened within our own bodies that Its Radiance emanated from our hands with great vividness.

第二天下午的五点,我们被房间中响起的以太钟声的优美音调唤醒,我们注意到我们散发出的圣光光芒要比平常更为闪耀。它在我们自己的身体中非常活跃,以至于其光芒从我们的手中以非常生动的方式散发出来。

The food provided was of the rarest quality and was like Concentrated Essence. There was a creamy, golden liquid that seemed almost like Liquid Light. As we partook of It, I said to Rex:

所提供的食物也是最珍贵的品质,就像是浓缩的精华。由一种奶油状的金色液体,看上去就像是液态圣光一样。当我们分享它时,我对雷克斯说:

“You know, some unusually powerful experience must be about to take place, and we are given this Liquid so the body will not be burdened with unnecessary substance.”

“你知道,我们就要经历一些非比寻常的强大体验了,我们被给予了这种液态圣光,从而让身体不受那些不必要物质的负担。”

As we finished, a small crystal tumbler about the size of a wine glass appeared on the table before each, and with it came a slip of paper on which were the words, “Drink without fear.” The substance in the glasses looked like Pure Electronic Energy. I picked up my glass and drained it without stopping. At first it seemed as though my being would never stop expanding, and then came a sense of being lifted to tremendous heights. I thought I was going to lose consciousness, but I did not. I soon became adjusted to It, and then I looked at Rex and saw him standing in a Flame of Blazing Light—his eyes were closed and his body swaying as though about to fall. I started towards him when the words flashed before me: “Have no fear!” Presently, he opened his eyes, and as he looked at me, two Rays of Light streamed through them. It was an amazing experience, and it was fortunate indeed that we did not fear.

当我们吃完后,每个人面前的桌子上都出现了一个酒杯大小的水晶玻璃杯,在每个被子旁边放置了一张字条,上面写着“无畏畅饮”。玻璃杯中的物质看起来像是纯粹的电子能量。我拿起玻璃杯一饮而尽。起初感觉就像是我的存在似乎永远不会停止拓展那样,然后就有了一种被提升到巨大高度的感觉。我以为自己会失去知觉,但是我没有。很快我就适应了,然后我看向雷克斯,只见他站在一道耀眼的圣光火焰之中 —— 他双眼紧闭,身体摇摇晃晃,似乎要倒下去。我开始想要去扶着他,这时耳边闪过这样一句话:“不要害怕!”当下他睁开了眼睛看着我,两道光芒从他双眼中流过。这是一次令人赞叹的体验,幸运的是我们都没有害怕。

In a moment, the bell sounded calling us to the Crystal Chamber. As we came to the large doors, they swung quietly open, and the most ravishing music greeted us. At the organ was seated the most Beautiful, Masterful Presence I have ever seen or imagined, and another, Its “Twin Ray,” sat at the piano. No words can possibly do justice to those harmonies, for the music reached into the very depths of one’s soul. We were not aware anyone else was in the room until the music ceased, and then we realized that ten of the Ascended Masters stood in our midst. Just beyond Them were Nada and Pearl, enveloped in a Brilliant Light that extended around them for about three feet. Another glorious flood of music followed, and suddenly in the midst of it, we all turned towards the door. Our Beloved Saint Germain and Daniel Rayborn entered with a beautiful Lady Master between them.

不一会儿,钟声响起,让我们前去水晶室。当我们走到大门前,一扇扇门悄然打开,迎接我们的是最迷人的音乐。风琴旁边坐着的是我见过的、我可以想象得到的最美丽、最精湛的临在,她的“双生光”,坐在了钢琴旁。无法用言语来形容那些和声,因为音乐直达人的灵魂深处。直至音乐停止,我们才注意到房间里还有其他人,然后我们意识到有十位扬升大师站在我们中间。他们身后就是娜达和珀尔,他们被围绕着他们延伸出约三英尺的耀眼光芒笼罩着。又是一阵美妙的音乐,突然间,我们都转向门口。我们敬爱的圣哲曼和丹尼尔·雷伯恩走了进来,他们中间,还有一位美丽的女性上师。

As They came in, the music ceased, and Nada and Rex exclaimed, “Mother!” The next instant both were clasped in Her arms. In a few moments Rex came to where I stood, and putting his arm around me drew me to his mother saying:

当他们走进来后,音乐停止了,娜达和雷克斯惊呼道,“母亲!”下一刻,两人都被她搂在怀中。过了一会儿,雷克斯来到我站的地方,用胳膊搂着我,把我拉到他母亲身边说:

“This is our wonderful friend who came to us a few weeks ago. We could hardly love him more.”

“这是几周前来拜访我们的好朋友。我们都非常爱他。”

“My Dear Son,” said his mother, “I have observed much that has taken place, and I am quite as grateful as you for such a true friend to my loved ones. I join the family in the great Love which they extend so sincerely. I see you reciprocate it radiantly. May God’s choicest Blessings, Love, and Illumination enfold you always.”

“我亲爱的儿子,”他母亲回答,“我观察了很多发生的事情,我跟你一样感激,我爱的人们可以有这样一位真诚的朋友。在他们发出的真挚又伟大的拓展之爱中,我回归到家庭中。我看到你们容光焕发地跟爱的能量进行着互动。愿神最伟大的祝福、爱和光明永远包围着你们。”

All came forward and extended greetings like one beautiful happy family. We suddenly felt an intense vibration, and looking up we saw the Master who had been playing the organ floating near the ceiling above us. It really seemed as if we were in the Etheric Realms instead of in the heart of a mountain on the Earth. Presently She stood on the floor beside us. We were presented to Her as Daphne, “The Child of Light.” We met Arion, Her Companion at the piano, and Saint Germain remarked that They were from the Seventh Sphere, having long ago reached the Ascended State, completing their journey through human experience.

所有的人都走上前问候,就像是一个美丽的大家庭。我们突然感觉到一阵强烈的振动,我们抬头看,发现是一位上师漂浮在我们上空的天花板附近吹着管风琴。我们似乎真的是来到了以太领域,而不是在地球上某座大山的中心。现在,她站到了我们面前的地板上。我们被告知这位上师是达芙妮(Daphne),“圣光之子”,然后我们又认识了坐在钢琴旁的她的同伴阿里昂(Arion)。圣哲曼说,他们来自第七界,很久之前就到达了扬升的状态,通过人类的体验完成了他们的旅途。

Daphne and Arion came directly up to Nada and Rex—a great Inner Attunement forming the bond between them. They asked if the children would sing to the accompaniment of the organ and piano. They replied in the affirmative, and Daphne asked Nada what they were going to sing.

达芙妮和阿里昂直接来到娜达和雷克斯身旁 —— 他们之间形成了一种伟大的内在和谐。他们问这两位孩子是否愿意在管风琴和钢琴的伴奏下唱歌。他们当然愿意,达芙妮问娜达想要唱什么。

“‘Love’s Light Eternal,'” she said. “Rex and I wrote it.” Daphne touched Nada’s forehead a moment.

“‘爱之光的永恒’, ” 她回答道。“雷克斯和我创作的这首歌。”达芙妮摸了摸娜达的额头。

“I have it,” She said, and stepping to the instrument, began. The children’s voices were splendid before, but now there was a new power and beauty that was wonderful. Even the Ascended Masters expressed Their appreciation. Someone asked Nada’s mother to sing and from the moment She began, a Thrill of Joy filled every Heart as She poured out Her Great Love to bless all through the song. It surely was the Glory of Heaven poured out upon Earth.

“我知道了,”她说,然后走向风琴开始准备演奏。​孩子们的声音之前就非常美妙,现在更是多了一种新的力量和美丽,真是奇妙极了。即便是扬升大师也表达出了他们的赞赏。有人邀请娜达的母亲唱歌,从她开始唱的那一刻起,她就把她伟大的爱倾入进了这首歌,从而给在场的所有人带来祝福,每一颗心都因喜悦颤动着。这的确是天堂的荣耀在地球的倾洒。

It was at this point that Saint Germain asked us to come into the electrical laboratory. When we had assembled around the Atomic Accelerator, He requested each one who had not raised his body to follow in turn and take his place in the Chair, beginning with Daniel Rayborn, Pearl, Rex, Nada and myself.

也是这时,圣哲曼邀请我们进入电子实验室。当我们聚集在原子加速器周围时,他要求我们中那些还没有提升过身体的人排成一队,并在椅子上就座,依次是丹尼尔·雷伯恩、珀尔、雷克斯、娜达,还有我。

“The ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ within each will tell you when to leave the Chair,” He instructed, “as no word should be spoken while the raising process is in operation.”

“你们每个人内在的‘伟大我是临在’会告诉你们何时离开椅子,”他指示说,“因为在提升的过程中不能说话。”

Daphne took Her place facing the Chair, and Saint Germain directly opposite. Rayborn seated himself, and a dazzling blue-white Light blazed forth crystal clear. In perhaps ten minutes, his flesh looked perfectly transparent. Slowly a current of vivid blue moved up his spine and met the combined currents of the pineal gland, pituitary body, and the base of the brain, forming into a Dazzling Golden Light encircled by the most vivid blue I have ever seen. Then by the very Power of his own Light he arose and stepped forth from the Chair, and as he did so, he seemed to float rather than walk.

达芙妮面对着椅子,圣哲曼在她的正对面。雷伯恩坐了下来,一道耀眼的蓝白色光芒闪耀而出,晶莹剔透。大约十分钟过后,他的肉身看上去呈完全透明的状态。缓慢地,一道耀眼的充满活力的蓝色电流沿着他的脊柱向上运动,与位于松果体、脑垂体以及大脑底部电流相遇,形成了一道耀眼的金光,由我从未见过的最富有生命力的蓝色光芒包围着。然后,通过他自己的圣光力量,他站了起来,从椅子上走了下来。当他这么做时,似乎是在漂浮,而不是行走。

Pearl took her place in the Chair. In less than five minutes her form completely disappeared, so dazzling was the White Light. This lasted possibly ten minutes before she emerged from It. As she stepped down from the Chair, the Light followed, as if to caress her.

接下来珀尔坐在了椅子上。不到五分钟,她身体的形态就完全消失了,发出的白色圣光非常闪耀。这个过程大约持续了十分钟,她从白光中又现出轮廓来。当她从椅子上走下来时,圣光跟随着她,仿佛在抚摸她一般。

Next came Rex. At first there was a glow of soft rose Light, gradually changing into gold, blue, and then an intense white, with a glorious tint of blue still remaining. His form did not entirely disappear from view, but in about ten minutes he stepped down from the Chair, his eyes ablaze with the Light of the “Mighty I AM Presence.”

接下来就是雷克斯。最初散发的是柔和的玫瑰色光芒,逐渐地变成金色、蓝色,然后是强烈的白色,不过仍然保留着光彩夺目的蓝色。他的身体形态并没有完全从视线中消失,大约十分钟后他从椅子上走了下来,他的双眼因“伟大我是临在”的圣光而闪耀。

Nada seated herself, and instantly the Light became a dazzling sun, and her form completely disappeared within Its wondrous glow. Presently she seemed to float, so lightly did she step from the Chair, and Rays of intense Light continued to dart forth from the upper part of her body for some time.

娜达也坐了下来,一瞬间圣光变成了闪耀的太阳,她的身体形态完全消失在了美妙的光芒中。当下,她似乎漂浮了起来,她从椅子上轻盈地站起来时是如此地轻盈,强烈的圣光持续地从她身上迸射出来,这持续了一段时间。

Lastly, I took my place. I felt a million points of Light pierce my flesh as the greater force from within the electrons was released through the atomic structure. At first I wanted to jump right out of the body I was using and claim the Full Freedom of my “Mighty I AM Presence.” Soon I became adjusted to It, and then a feeling of the most joyous exaltation filled my entire being—a sensation no words can describe.

最后,我坐了上去。当来自电子内部的伟大力量通过原子结构释放出时,我感觉有百万个圣光光点在刺穿我的肉身。起初,我非常想要跳出我使用的身体,并宣告“伟大我是临在”的完全自由。不过很快我就适应了它,然后一种最快乐的喜悦之情充满了我的整个存在 —— 一种无法用语言描绘的感觉。

I poured a Mighty Love to humanity and a prayer that all might be ready to receive this same Glorious Illumination—because no one can recede once he has entered into the Light in this manner. In this tremendously exalted state I consciously sent forth the Mighty Power of Divine Love to bless and illumine humanity more powerfully than I had ever conceived possible. If seventy-five percent of mankind could understand, be raised to this marvelous state and consciously send forth the Mighty Power of Divine Love for seven days, the Earth and all its inhabitants would be transformed. There would be no more selfishness—hence no more strife. Would to God that day were at hand now!

我向全人类倾洒出伟大的爱,并祈祷所有的人都可以准备好接受同样荣耀的照耀 —— 因为一旦他以这种方式进入圣光中,没有人会退缩。在这种无比崇高的状态下,我有意识地发出神圣之爱的伟大力量来祝福和照耀全人类,这力量比我想象中要强大得多。如果有75%的人类可以理解,可以提升到这种美妙的状态,并有意识地发出神圣之爱的伟大力量,若是他们可以连续七天保持这样的状态,那么,地球以及地球上所有的存有都会得到转化。不再会有自私 —— 因此纷争也消失了。真希望那一天就在眼前!

Our Beloved Master asked us to return to the Crystal Chamber. We did so and found the exact number of chairs for those present placed so they faced the eastern wall of that wondrous room. Saint Germain stepped to a cord hanging upon the wall and pulled it. The wall covering drew apart and disclosed a polished surface about twelve by twenty feet.

我们敬爱的导师让我们返回水晶室。我们这么做了,并发现那里已经准备好了跟我们人数相同的椅子,它们面对着那个美妙房间的东墙。圣哲曼走到挂在墙上的一根绳子旁,拉了一下。墙布拉开,露出了一个大约十二乘二十英尺的抛光面。

“This,” He explained, “is a Cosmic Mirror in which any individual having reached a certain height of attainment may see his complete series of lives, the cause and effect of his conscious activity, and how the gradual process of Mastery is attained. Then, seeing the Divine Plan of his future, he will understand how to cooperate with the Great Cosmic Forward Impulse, and so, tremendously increase his power of service and usefullness by consciously expanding the Love, Light, Wisdom and Power of the ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ through himself.”

他解释说,“这是宇宙镜面,每个达到特定成就高度的人,都可以在这里看到他完整的生命体验,他有意识活动的起因和结果,以及他如何逐渐获得统领的过程。然后,他会看到他将来的神圣计划,他会理解如何与伟大宇宙向前推动的生命脉动进行合作,通过他自己有意识地拓展‘伟大我是临在’的爱、光、智慧和力量,从而极大地增加他服务与奉献的力量。”

Five of the chairs had been placed directly in front of the center of the Mirror. In these, Saint Germain seated Rayborn, Pearl, Rex, Nada, and myself, in the order mentioned.

其中五把椅子直接放在了镜子中央的正前方。圣哲曼依次让雷伯恩、珀尔、雷克斯、娜达和我坐下来。

“I ask you all to keep your eyes closed,” He said, “except the one whom I shall indicate to do the observing, and at no time allow yourselves to speak. I will speak the name of each one in turn as the preceding one finishes.

“我要求你们所有人都闭上眼睛,”他说道,“除了我所指的那个人之外,我要让他进行观察,与此同时,你们中的每个人都不能讲话。当前一个人结束时,我会按照次序念出每个人的名字。”

“I wish you,” He said, indicating me, “to follow the observation throughout, because you are here to observe and understand all that transpires so this Knowledge may be given to the world. The others are here for their own individual growth.” I am only permitted to chronicle fragments of the impersonal activities of what was revealed.

“我希望你,”他对我说,“去完整地观察整个过程,因为你在这里是为了观察并理解所有发生的事情,这样,这些知识就可以被带给整个世界。其他人在这里是为了他们自己的个人成长。”我只被允许记录揭示的那些非个人活动片段。

“As each one’s name is pronounced,” the Master instructed, “he is to throw his own Soul’s Light into the Mirror, hold it there unwaveringly, and calmly observe the results, no matter what appears:

“每个被念到名字的人,”上师指示说,“要把自己的灵魂之光投向镜面,并坚定地保持这样的状态,冷静地观察结果,不论出现什么情况:”

“Daniel Rayborn.” Immediately a spot of sapphire blue Light appeared upon the milky-white surface of the mirror and steadily expanded until it became crystal clear. Then Saint Germain explained:

“丹尼尔·雷伯恩。”瞬间,一抹宝蓝色的光点出现在了乳白色的镜面上,而且范围在不断扩大,直至镜面变得晶莹剔透。然后,圣哲曼解释说:

“Life after Life appears, some in very great detail, others showing the terrific struggle of the outer self against the certain advance and expansion of the ‘Great Inner Light.’ This Light is expanding Perfection from the ‘Presence.’ This may be retarded, but never prevented from attaining Its Ultimate Eternal Victory and Dominion.

“一次又一次转世生命体验出现,一些很详尽,还有一些展示除了外在自我与‘伟大内在之光’的进步和拓展进行了严重的对抗。这道光来自‘临在’的完美拓展。这可能会被延迟,但是永远不会阻止圣光获得它终极的永恒胜利和统治。”

“In some cases, century after century and Life after Life pass with but very little progress because of the stubbornness of the outer self. When it becomes weary enough of the husks of existence, the unreality of things, and earnestly and gladly calls to the ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ then all barriers disappear, and Its Great Inner Light is enabled to express more and more Perfection. Thus at last is Full Mastery attained.” The screen revealed Rayborn’s experiences, including even those of his present Life and our recent association.

“在某些情况下,一个世纪又一个世纪过去,一生又一生的生活过去,由于外在自我的顽固,进展甚微。当外在自我厌倦了存在的厚重外壳,厌倦了事物的虚伪,而且真诚且愉悦地呼请‘伟大的我是临在’,然后所有的障碍就都消失了,它伟大的内在之光可以开始表达出越来越多的完美。因此,终于达成了完全的统领。镜面上显示了雷伯恩的过往体验,甚至包含他这一世的生命经历,以及最近跟我们的接触。”

“You see,” He went on, “an Extension has been granted to this good Brother until he has finished certain outer work and the children are through school. These Extensions are only given where it is possible to raise the atomic structure of the physical body into the Electronic. When this takes place, he will be united with his beautiful Twin Ray, the mother of Rex and Nada. Then will They reveal Their True Service through the Mighty ‘Magic Presence’ of the ‘I AM’ as Their Radiance grows brighter and brighter. At an appointed time They will come forth with Their Ascended Master Authority and serve in Their Visible Tangible Ascended Bodies, holding positions as Great Teachers of the Light in high governmental offices, being Direct Messengers of the Most High Living God.” The surface of the Mirror returned to white and Saint Germain said:

“你看,”他继续说,“当这位兄弟完成某些外在的作业,孩子们完成学业后,他就会得到被赋予的拓展。这些拓展只会在可能提高物质身体原子结构的地方被给予,让原子结构进入电子结构。当它发生时,他就会与他自己美丽的双生光,也就是雷克斯和娜达的母亲结合在一起。然后,随着他们的光芒越来越明亮,伟大我是的‘神奇临在’就会展示给他们看他们要进行的真正服务。在既定的时间,他们会与他们扬升大师的权威一同出现,并在他们有形的扬升身体中进行服务,在官方的高级职位中担任伟大的光之导师的职位,成为至高无上的活着的神的直接使者。”镜面变成了白色,圣哲曼说:

“Pearl.”

“珀尔。”

A violet spot of Light appeared, expanded, and covered the Mirror with a Wonderful Radiance. The entire action was very different. Out of the many lives shown, there were only three in which the outer self rebelled against the “Light.” Both masculine and feminine embodiments were revealed. Many times, she was a very earnest teacher of the Truth to humanity. In one she was an eye witness to the crucifixion of Jesus. In another she watched the burning at the stake of Joan of Arc. Then came her meeting and union with Rex, the final Illumining and Raising of their bodies, and the ministry that was to follow. It even showed them always in touch with their parents as beloved friends —no longer in the parental relationship. Again the Light faded, the surface of the mirror became white, and Saint Germain said:

一个紫罗兰色光点出现,拓展,然后用一种美妙的光辉覆盖了整个镜面。整个经历完全不同。在展示的众多转世的生活中,只有三次,外在的自我对“圣光”进行了反抗。有过作为男性也有过作为女性的体验。很多时候,她是一位向人类传授真理的真诚导师。在其中一次转世,她亲眼目睹了耶稣被钉在十字架。在另一次转世中她看到圣女贞德被烧死在火刑柱上。接下来就是她与雷克斯的见面与结合,他们的身体被照亮并提升,以及之后负责的事务。它甚至展示出了他们总是与父母保持着像亲密朋友一样的关系 —— 不是传统意义上的亲子关系。圣光再次消退,镜面变成了白色,圣哲曼说:

“Rex.” A disc of intense rose-colored Light quickly covered the Mirror, and a long series of lives followed. These gave also both masculine and feminine embodiments. In three of them he was a great teacher of the Truth of Life. Many times he was an officer of importance in large armies. In those, he was very active—especially during the time that the Greek civilization reached its apex. Another was shown in France and still another in England during the time of the American Revolution. Here the Master called our attention to an unusual condition.

“雷克斯。”一道强烈的玫瑰色光芒迅速覆盖了整个镜子,接下来展示的就是一连串的生命。有男性也有女性的生命体验。其中三次,他是生命真理的伟大导师,很多时候他在大军队中担任重要职位。他在希腊文明达到巅峰的时期非常活跃。还有一次转世是在法国,以及在美国革命期间的英国。这时,上师提醒我们注意一个不同寻常的情况。

“Rex’s growth,” He said, “has been so steady that he has had no very great struggle in any particular embodiment. This is a very rare thing when one considers the hundreds and sometimes thousands of embodiments that souls pass through in order to gain their Eternal Victory and Dominion. In three consecutive lives he was a renowned scientist and made many remarkable discoveries that blessed mankind.

“雷克斯的成长,”他说道,“一直非常稳定,他在每一次转世中都没有经历过非常大的挣扎。考虑到灵魂为了获得永恒的胜利和主宰要经历过成百上千次转世,这是一件非常罕见的事情。在三次连续的转世中,他是一名著名的科学家,并制造了很多造福人类的非凡发明。”

“We now come to his present Life, which is just well started. Here is the close of his school days, his union with Pearl, and the call to go to the Masters in the Himalayas and the Far East. This will cover a period of at least two years. Notice the marvelous, vivid description of certain work that he will do in the future in which he will play a very prominent part in the government of America.” Then with a flash, all vanished from the Mirror, and Saint Germain said:

“我们现在回到他当前的生活,也是很好的开始。这是他学生时代的结束,他与珀尔的结合,以及前往喜马拉雅山和远东,回应上师们的呼唤。这段时间至少是两年。请注意他在将来会在美国政府中发挥的重要职能。”然后是一道闪光,一切都从镜面上消失了,圣哲曼说:

“Nada.”

“娜达。”

Almost instantly a Light like a sun covered the Mirror, and as it cleared, Saint Germain continued:

几乎是瞬间,如同太阳一般的光芒笼罩了镜面,待镜面变得清澈,圣哲曼继续说:

“Here is a most remarkable revelation of hundreds of lives, the embodiments showing intense activity in which there seems always to have been a sincere dominant desire for the Light. In the particular Life now being revealed, it shows the meeting between Nada and Bob Singleton when they were together on Atlantis. At that time he was a nephew of one of the Great Master Rulers. In another, Nada was a priestess in Egypt. In the one now being shown, she was a daughter of an Arab sheik, and for many lives has been under My Care and Instruction.

“这是千百次转世中最非凡的揭示,那些化身进行的活动,展示出了总是对圣光有着真诚强烈的渴望。在当前揭示的那一世生活中,娜达和鲍勃·辛格尔顿在亚特兰蒂斯时期见面了。那时,他是一位伟大统治者的侄子。在另一次转世中,娜达是埃及的一名女祭司。还有一次,她是一位阿拉伯酋长的女儿,还有很多次转世,都在我的照顾和指导之下。”

“This is her present Life, showing our meeting, her contact with Bob, and the sudden end of her schoolwork. She will take up Definite Cosmic Work which Bob is not quite ready to do. Notice, as he awakens fully, the Great Light that blazes forth. Then they will become great teachers of Divine Wisdom. As you see, Bob will raise his body, as well as the others, with the Assistance of the Ascended Masters. Their Future Work from the Ascended State is beautiful indeed.” Saint Germain next spoke my name.

“这是她当前的生活,镜面展示出我们的会面,她与鲍勃的联系,以及她突然中止她的学业。她会承担起一些确切的宇宙作业,不过鲍勃还没有对这些做好准备。请注意,当他完全觉醒时,伟大的光就会闪耀出来。然后,他们将成为神圣智慧的伟大导师。如你所看到的,鲍勃会提升他的身体,其他人也会,这些都是在扬升大师的帮助下完成的。他们在扬升状态下,未来的工作会非常美好。”接下来圣哲曼说出了我的名字。

Instantly I threw my Soul-Light upon the Mirror, and a revolving Light like a great diamond in the center quickly expanded to the outer rim. Far back in the past I saw my Real Self, the “Mighty Magic Presence” of the Great “I AM,” utilizing one body after another through a long series of lives. Two of these were on Atlantis, one as an engineer of mining and aerial navigation. As the second came on the screen, He explained:

一瞬间,我把自己的灵魂之光投射到镜面,一道旋转的光就像一颗钻石,从镜面中心迅速地拓展到了外缘。回溯遥远的过去,我看到了真正的自己,伟大“我是”的“强大神奇临在”,在一系列漫长的转世中,使用完一个又一个身体。其中有两次转世在亚特兰蒂斯,一个化身是矿业和航空工程师。当第二个化身出现在镜面上时,圣哲曼解释说:

“In the last Atlantean embodiment, for the first time since going forth into incarnation, you came into contact with your Twin Ray. In Egypt, you were a secret teacher of the ‘One God.’ In Rome, you were a centurion during the Life and ministry of Jesus, closing that embodiment in what is now Great Britain—again in England, during the twelfth century—and the following Life was in a feminine body in France.

“你在亚特兰蒂斯最后一次转世时,也是你进入转世的第一次,你遇到了自己的双生光。在埃及,是你‘独一真神’的秘密导师。在罗马,你是耶稣生活和传道期间的百夫长,在那里,也就是今天的英国,你结束了那次转世 —— 再一次在英国,十二世纪 —— 你接下来的生命体验是在法国的一位女性身体之中。”

“Now comes your present Life, again in Perfect Union with your Twin Ray. This goes into the distant future, when in the Great Family of Ascended Masters you will still minister through Divine Love to those on Earth, assisting in their upward progress. The Blessing of Divine Service is a great privilege; but remember always, your First Service, the Greatest Service that can possibly exist is the Complete Acknowledgment and Acceptance of your ‘Mighty I AM Presence’—the Mighty Light within and above you.

“然后就是你现在的生活,你再次与你的双生光结合。接下来就是遥远的未来,那是在扬升大师的伟大家庭中,你仍然通过神圣之爱来服务地球上的人们,帮助他们向上进步。神圣服务的祝福是一种伟大的特权,但是永远要记住,你的首要服务,也是可能存在的最伟大的服务,就是完全承认和接受你的‘伟大我是临在’ —— 你内在和你上方的伟大之光。”

“I wish you all to remember especially what I am about to say on service, for it is one of the most misunderstood subjects. Many people consider various things as service which in reality are not service at all, but mere slavery to the human creation of themselves or others. The performance of physical acts for gratifying and satisfying of the limitations of the human self is not service, never was, and never will be. That is slavery to human creation and the treadmill of mankind’s limitations. Please clear your minds once and for all time completely of that idea as a concept of service. I tell you frankly and truly, it is not. One of the Ascended Lady Masters has said:

“我希望大家特别记住我要说的关于服务的内容,因为它是最容易产生误解的主题之一。很多人把各种各样的事情看作服务,事实上,那些根本不是服务,仅仅是受制于他们或者其他人人类自我部分创造的奴役。为了满足人类自我的局限而进行的行为不属于服务,以前不是,以后也不会是。那些是人类创造的奴役,是受制于人类局限的重复性繁重工作。请再一次清理自己的心智,完全清除这种对服务的错误理念。我老实地告诉你,那些都不是服务。一位扬升的女性上师说过:”

” ‘The First Service for any of mankind is praise and adoration of the God Self, the Great Master within each individual. In thus fixing the attention of the outer mind on the Only Giver of anything good we can ever receive, it raises the outer mind into the Full Acceptance of the Supreme Conquering Power anchored within the human form, which after all, is Divine.

“对于所有的人来说,首要的服务就是赞美和崇敬神之自我,也就是每个人内在的伟大导师。这样可以把我们外在心智的注意力集中在我们所能接受的所有美好事物的唯一给予者身上,它提升了外在心智,让它进入了对至高无上征服力量的全然接受中,这种力量就锚定在人类的身体,它是非常神圣的。”

” ‘If, in man’s service to man, he fails to hold his attention fixed on the “Supreme Source” of Love, Wisdom and Power, then he has failed in that service to a large degree. If, in the quest of things in the outer senses, he becomes so occupied that the conscious attention becomes fixed on the manifestation instead of the “Supreme Presence” that produces it, then again he has missed the mark.

“‘如果,在一个人对其他人服务的过程中,他没有把他的注意力集中在爱、智慧、力量的“至高源泉”上,那么他在很大程度上就失败了。若是他忙碌地去追求外在感官的事物,他让自己的注意力集中在外在的表达,而不是产生这些表达的“至高源泉”上,那么,他又一次地错过了目标。’”

” ‘Again, if in man’s great desire to serve, the overwhelming desire to serve his fellowman causes him to neglect to keep his attention fixed on the Supreme Producer, then that service too has failed to a large degree. The Only True Service is in holding the attention and acceptance so firmly fixed upon the “Great Master Within”—the Only Producer—that the outer mind becomes so filled with the “Inner Presence,” that naturally each activity of the day becomes, without considering it, the Perfect Divine Service of the moment. Then the “Great Master Within”—the “Mighty I AM Presence”—is always conducting the outer activity, until the entire action becomes Perfection expressed.

“‘还有,若是在一个人服务的伟大愿望中,为他同胞服务的愿望强大到让他忘记把注意力集中在至高的给予者身上,那么,这种服务在很大程度上也是失败的。唯一真正的服务,就是把注意力和接受力牢牢地放在“内在的伟大导师”之上 —— 唯一的给予者 —— 让外在的心智充满了“内在的临在”,然后每一天的活动就会自然而然地成为在当下时刻完美的神圣服务,甚至不需要过多思考。接下来,“伟大的内在导师” —— “伟大的我是临在”就会一直进行外在的活动,直至所有的行为都成为完美的表达。’”

” ‘The outer self, until fully awakened, has periods in which it unknowingly wants to strut its vanity and abilities over its fellowmen. This always invites a shock of some kind to shake up the outer self until it becomes aware of what it is doing. Then it wildly looks about for its Source of Power, which it has either forgotten or willfully pushed aside; for in our compulsory choice and the use of the Free Will, this “Great Master Within” will not intrude Itself unless welcomed and invited joyously to do so. I say “joyously,” because the more joy we can put into the acceptance of the “Mighty Indwelling Power,” the quicker manifestation follows.

“‘外在自我,在完全觉醒之前,有时会不知不觉地想向同胞炫耀自己的虚荣心和能力。这样做总是会引起某种冲击,震撼外在自我,从而让它意识到自己是在做什么。然后外在自我就会开始疯狂地寻找它的力量源泉,或是被遗忘或是被故意放置到一边;因为在我们的强制选择和自由意志的使用中,这位“内在伟大导师”不会让自己闯入,除非受到迎接,并愉快地邀请它这么去做。我说“愉快地”,是因为我们越是快乐地去接受“伟大内在的力量”,显化速度就会越快。’”

” ‘Our acceptance is a command which must be obeyed. It cannot be denied. The attention and acceptance must be held long enough, firmly enough, and steadily enough upon the “Mighty I AM Presence,” until the shell of the outer self is completely shorn of the idea that it has any power of its own.

“‘我们的接受是一个必须去服从的命令。它不能被拒绝。放在“伟大我是临在”上的注意力和接受必须要保持足够长的时间,足够坚定,足够稳定,直至外在自我的外壳完全褪去,摆脱掉它拥有自己力量的所有理念。’”

” ‘The outer mind cannot argue against the fact that all the energy it uses comes from the “Great Presence Within,” no matter how that energy is applied. Never let any desire for service deprive you of the needed time—undivided—to fix your attention and acceptance on your “Great Master Within,” knowing then that you will naturally give the right service and do the right thing. This is the Law of True Divine Service which says forever to the personal self: “Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.” This is the whole of the Law applied.’

“‘外在的心智无法反驳这样的事实,那就是它使用的所有能量都是来自“内在伟大的临在”,不论它是如何使用这种能量的。永远不要让服务的渴望剥夺了你所需要的时间 —— 就是把你的注意力和接受力牢牢地放在你“内在伟大的导师”上,并知道届时你会自然而然地提供正确的服务,做正确的事情。这就是真正的神圣服务法则,它永远对个人自我说:“除我之外,你不得有其他神明。”这就是应用的法则的全部。’”

(This Instruction concerning service was originally given forth by one of the Lady Masters, also known as Nada, who raised Her Body 2,700 years ago and who does very Transcendent Work for the humanity of this Earth, as well as a Greater Work which She does in very much Higher Spheres. It was Saint Germain’s Request that it be put into The Magic Presence at this point, for He gives it to all His Students and has placed it here that everyone who reads this Book may have the benefit of Her Radiation as well as His Own, and profit thereby.)

(有关服务的这部分指示最初是由一位女性上师给出,她的名字也叫娜达,在两千七百年前就提升了身体,她为地球的人类做了很多超然的工作,她在更高的领域也完成了更伟大的工作。受圣哲曼的要求,把这部分内容在这里插入《神奇的临在》一书,这是他给予他所有学生的指导,以便阅读这本书的每个人都可以接收到她的照耀,以及圣哲曼的照耀,从而有所收获。)

“The personal self has absolutely nothing of its own, for it comes into embodiment without even clothes, and unless the physical body is illumined and raised, it passes through so-called death and leaves even the body behind. So the personal self really owns nothing. It cannot deny the fact that all it has is loaned to it by the Great Master Presence, no matter how much it misuses the marvelous gifts of Life.

“人格自我没有任何属于它自己的东西,它进入转世中,甚至都没有自己的衣服,除非物质身体被照亮和提升,否则它会历经所谓的死亡,并留下它的身体。因此,个人自我真的没有属于它的任何东西。它不能否认这样一个事实,它所拥有的一切都来自伟大的主宰临在,不论它是如何滥用生命的美妙恩赐。”

“Keep your attention to the Heights, the ‘Light,’ and the struggle of the outer self will soon cease. You will find yourselves steadily rising into that glorified Ascended State where the Joy of Divine Service so far transcends earthly comprehension there are no words to describe It.

“把你的注意力放在高处,放在‘圣光’之中,外在自我的所有挣扎就会停止。你会发现自己稳步上升进入那个荣耀的扬升状态,在那里,神圣服务的喜悦远远超越了世俗对它的理解,没有言辞可以进行描述。”

“This discloses the revelations of individual growth through hundreds of lives in earthly experi­ence. It is a rare occurrence and privilege for any student to be shown this, and it is only permitted where the individual has reached a height of attain­ment and Inner Strength that will enable him to observe the experiences of the past without receiv­ing suggestions or being in the least influenced by them, no matter how terrific they may have been.”

“这里揭示出的是在地球上进行千百次转世的个人成长的启示。把这些展示给学生看,是罕见的情况,也是一种特权,只有当一个人到达了特定的成就高度,他的内在力量足够强大时,才会允许他观察过去生命的体验,这样他们不会丝毫地受到过去的影响,不论过去的转世可能多么了不起。”

Only a tiny fragment of all which passed upon that Mirror is recorded here; for the experiences of one individual alone through hundreds of embodiments would fill many volumes. Saint Germain then drew the covering over the Mirror, and taking His place in front of His guests, gave a most marvelous Discourse. Much of it was private Instruction and information for those present concerning their own work. I will give only a very small portion of it here.

镜面上出现的内容只有一小部分在这里记录了下来,因为单是一个个体的数百次转世体验就可以写满好几本书了。圣哲曼随后把镜面覆盖起来,在客人面前就座,发表了一段绝佳的演讲。其中大部分内容是为在场的人提供跟他们自己工作相关的信息和私人指导。我在这里只能给出很小一部分。

“It is my wish,” He said, addressing Pearl, Nada, and Rex, “that Pearl return with Nada to her school. It is quite imperative at this time for her to take up certain studies which I will indicate for the year, until their graduation. At the end of that time I shall be very happy to have you accompany me to the Far East, where you are to remain for two years and make Certain Contacts which it is necessary for you to have. “

“我希望,”他对珀尔、娜达和雷克斯说,“珀尔返回她的学校,娜达陪同她一起。对珀尔来说,她非常有必要在这个时候去进行我在这一年给出的某些研究,直至毕业。届时,我会很高兴让你们陪同我去远东,你们会在那里停留两年,并进行一些必要的接触活动。”

“At that time, Bob will be ready to go with you. I will see that dependable men are brought to the mine and ranch. One year from today, July 28, 1931, we shall all meet again in the Cave of Symbols, and Daniel Rayborn will complete the raising into his Electronic Body and enter Perfect Freedom with his beloved Twin Ray, Nada, ‘The Child of Song.’

“到时候,鲍勃会准备好跟你们同去。我会确保把可靠的人带到矿场和牧场。一年后的今天,也就是1931年7月28日,我们会再次在这个布满符号的山洞中会面,丹尼尔·雷伯恩会完成让身体成为电子身体的提升,与他挚爱的双生光,娜达的母亲,‘歌曲之子’,一起进入完美的自由之中。”

“Each of you will receive Training and Instruction from time to time as you require it, and this will be your Path to Freedom. You all know there is but One Source to look to for anything, and that is your ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ within and around you to whom you can call—and you will never fail to get a response. From It, you may receive without limit Courage, Strength, Power, Protection, and Guidance which will take you through any ordeal you may ever encounter.

“你们中的每个人都会根据需要,时不时地接受指导和培训,这将会是你们通往自由的道路。你们都知道,你们必须去向那唯一的源头来寻求任何东西,那唯一源头就是你们内在的、包围着你的‘伟大我是临在’,你们可以向它求助 —— 你永远不会得不到回应。从它那里,你会得到无限的勇气、力量、保护和指引,让你度过任何你可能遇到的磨难。”

“I have not observed any weakness within you; otherwise you would not be here. Trials will arise from most unexpected places. You will, of course, remember that the sincere student is never off guard. The Inner Light will never fail unless you deliberately turn from It, a thing I trust none of you will ever do!

“我没有在你们身上发现任何缺点;否则你们就不会在这里了。试炼会从最意想不到的地方出现。当然,你会记得,真诚的学生永远不会让自己放松警惕。内在之光永远不会失败,除非你有意识地远离它,不过我相信你们都不会这么做的!”

“Now will you join me around the Crystal Table? We still have another service to render our beloved brother Bob.” When all were in their places, He asked Nada to call Bob with the “Inner Light.” In about ten minutes he stood on the table before us. Rex extended his hand, and Bob stepped lightly down and clasped Nada in his arms. She led him forward and presented Bob to her mother, who had returned to the audience chamber with Daniel Rayborn.

“现在,你们愿意跟我一起坐在水晶桌旁吗?我们还有另一项服务要提供给我们敬爱的兄弟鲍勃。”当所有人都就位后,他让娜达用“内在之光”来邀请鲍勃。在大约十分钟后,他就站在了我们面前的桌子上。雷克斯伸出手,鲍勃轻盈地走了下来,把娜达拥在怀中。她领着他向前,把鲍勃介绍给她的母亲,她的母亲与丹尼尔·雷伯恩已经在接待大厅了。

She looked at him steadily for a moment, and with the sweetest smile held out Her arms and embraced him. As She did so the Light within Her blazed forth with such intensity that their bodies were hardly visible.

她定定地看了他一会儿,带着甜美的笑容,张开双臂拥他入怀。当她这么做的时候,她体内的光强烈的闪耀着,他们的身体几乎看不见了。

“My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ” She said, releasing him, “I congratulate you both on this discovery and the Love that enshrines your Divine Union. The Greatest Blessing My Power of the Ascended State can give enfolds you both forever. Always remember that Pure, Unselfish Love and Devotion form the Open Pathway to the Ascended State.”

“我亲爱的孩子,我非常高兴。”她边说边松开了他,“我祝贺你们发现了彼此,并珍惜你们之间神圣结合的爱。我扬升状态下最伟大的祝福永远包围着你们。永远要记得,纯粹、无私的爱和奉献,构成了通往扬升状态的开放通道。”

Nada asked Daphne and Arion to play again, and They assented. When They took Their places at the organ and piano, a Dazzling Light floated above Them near the ceiling. As They struck the first chords of a beautiful melody, a Glorious Tenor Voice burst forth from within the Light. The control of the Voice was Perfect; its range seemed to be almost without limit.

娜达再次邀请达芙妮和阿里奥演奏,他们同意了。他们在管风琴和钢琴旁就坐时,一道闪耀的光漂浮在他们上空的天花板处。当他们演奏起优美旋律的第一个和弦时,圣光中出现了男高音。声音的控制是完美的,演奏的范围也似乎没有限制。

Here we were listening to a Being we did not see, yet whose Voice was the most magnificent proof of the “Presence” and Its Great Gifts to mankind. When the first song was finished, the organ, piano, and Voice all modulated into “America.” Instantly everyone arose, not only in tribute to America, but to the Great Master whose Wondrous Voice thrilled us all.

在这里,我们听到了一位我们尚未看到的存有的声音,他的声音是“临在”、以及它给予人类的伟大礼物的最宏伟证明。当第一首歌结束时,管风琴、钢琴和人声都调成了“美国”。瞬间每个人都站了起来,不仅向美国致敬,也向伟大的上师致敬,他美妙的声音让所有人都激动不已。

“America,” said Saint Germain, “means so much more than most of Her inhabitants dare to dream; for She is the Heart Center of the Spiritual Progress on this planet, it is in America that the firm Foundation of the Cosmic Christ—the ‘Mighty I AM Presence,—will find anchor in the Hearts of mankind. This Great, All-Powerful Light shall intensify and expand until not a vestige of selfishness or political intrigue will remain or be remembered. Many amazing things will take place in the coming years, until mankind will truly realize the time of miracles is not past, but is forever with us. We will then understand they are but the results of obedience to the Great Divine Plan of Life. We are just beginning to enter an age of so-called miracles which will reveal the glories ‘The Magic Presence’ holds waiting for Its Children.

“美国,”圣哲曼说,“要比她大多数居民敢于梦想的要多得多;因为她是这颗星球上灵性进步的中心,宇宙基督 —— ‘伟大的我是临在’ —— 的坚固根基,会在美国找到人类心中的锚定点。这伟大全能的圣光将会强化拓展,直至没有任何自私或政治阴谋的痕迹可留下或被记住。在将来会发生很多令人惊奇的事情,直至人类真正地意识到,奇迹的时代并不是在过去,而是永远与我们同在。那时我们就会明白,奇迹不过是服从伟大生命神圣计划的结果。我们正刚刚开始进入一个所谓的奇迹时代,这个时代会揭示出‘神奇的临在’为等待着它到来的子孙后代准备的荣耀。”

“America is the Grail—the Cup for this Earth—that carries the Light of the Cosmic Christ which shall illumine the Earth and set it in Divine Order by the Power of the ‘Mighty I AM Presence.'”

“美国就是圣杯 —— 地球的圣杯 —— 它承载着宇宙基督的光,它将照亮地球,并通过‘伟大我是临在’的力量让地球进入神圣秩序之中。”

 Bob was so happy, he asked if he might be permitted to meet our Beloved Master in the visible, tangible body before the school season opened, and Saint Germain replied: “It may be sooner than you expect, for your blessed friends will be at the mine shortly, and I will meet with you all at that time – let us say the tenth of August. Now, Bob, you must return to your physical body.” Instantly the two Radiant Masters stood on each side of him. Bob said good-night to his sweetheart and those present, and they immediately disappeared. The rest of us gathered around Nada—the mother—who embraced each of Her loved ones. “It is time We must part,” She said, “but on this occasion it is in joyous rapture instead of sorrow, as at our first parting.”

鲍勃非常高兴,他问在开学前是否可以用可见的、触碰得到的身体与我们敬爱的上师会面,圣哲曼回答道:“这会比你想象得要快,因为你们受到福佑的朋友们很快就要到达矿场,那时我会跟你们一同会面 —— 让我说,就是八月十号。鲍勃,现在你必须要回到你的肉身中去。”瞬间,那两位闪耀的上师站在他的两侧。鲍勃向他的爱人以及在场其他的人道了晚安,然后他们立即消失了。我们其余的人围绕着娜达的母亲 —— 她拥抱了她爱着的每个人。“是时候让我们分开了,”她说道,“不过这次,我们是在极度的喜悦之中,而非上一次离别时那么悲伤。”

 “I wish you to return to your chambers,” Saint Germain directed, “and rest until two o’clock tomorrow, and then return home. Proper food will be served when you are ready. It is My privilege to escort this Beloved Child of Song (indicating Rex and Nada’s mother) to the Sphere where She is sojourning.”

“我希望你们都回到你们的房间。”圣哲曼指示说,“休息至明天下午两点,然后准备返回家中。当你们准备好时,会为你们提供合适的事物。我很荣幸护送歌曲之子(这里是指雷克斯和娜达的母亲)返回到她旅居的领域。”

We watched Them closely and saw the two Forms begin to fade from view, and in about three minutes They completely disappeared. Such is the Power of the Ascended Master to come and go in the Tangible Body and make It visible or invisible at will. In the intense interest of watching Nada’s mother and our Beloved Master disappear, we did not notice that the other Ascended Masters had gone also, leaving only Daniel Rayborn, Pearl, Nada, Rex and myself. As we looked at each other, I do not think there was a dry eye in the whole group, for tears of the greatest gratitude and joy we had ever known filled our eyes and Hearts to overflowing.

我们仔细地看着他们,看到这两个形体开始从视野中淡化,大约三分钟后,他们完全消失了。这就是扬升大师拥有的可以在有形的身体中来来去去、并根据自己的意愿让它们变得可见或不可见的力量。我们全神贯注地注视着娜达的母亲和我们敬爱的上师离开,没有注意到其他的扬升大师也随之离开了,只剩下丹尼尔·雷伯恩、珀尔、娜达、雷克斯和我。我们互相看着对方,我们发现所有的人眼睛都湿润了,因为我们所知晓的最大感激和喜悦的泪水充满了我们的眼睛和内心。

We returned to our chambers and found the most appetizing dinner awaiting us. There was a delicious nut-loaf, an amber liquid, wonderfully refreshing, and a combination salad made of things we had never eaten before. As we lay down, the Brilliant Light in the room gently faded out until only a soft bluish-white Radiance like moonlight remained. Unless one has experienced something of this kind, it is not possible to describe the feeling of rest and quiet such Light conveys.

我们回到房间中,发现等待着我们的是最美味的晚餐。有坚果面包、一杯非常清爽的琥珀色的液体,还有一种用我们以前从未吃过的东西做成的混合沙拉。当我们躺下,房间里璀璨的光华也缓缓暗淡下去,只剩下柔和的如皎洁月光般的光辉。除非一个人去亲身经历这些,否则无法描述这种光芒所带来的休憩和安宁的感觉。

The next thing we knew we heard the etheric bell sound through our chambers, and when I looked at my watch I saw it was one o’clock. We put on our robes and sat down to the small crystal table in our room, laden with luscious fruits, among them peaches and strawberries such as I have never seen in the outer world. There was a substance like heavy whipped cream for the fruit, and every spoonful sent an electric charge through the body that gave one the Feeling of Strength, Courage, Power and Confidence which it is impossible to explain.

我们知道的下一件事情,就是以太钟声在我们的房间中回荡,当我看表时,发现是一点钟。我们穿上长袍,在我们房间的小水晶桌旁坐下。桌上摆满了甘美的水果,其中有一些是我在外面世界从未见过的桃子和草莓。为水果搭配的是一种像浓奶油那样的物质,每吃一勺,身体都会感受到一种电流的涌动,让人充满一种感觉,那是无法用语言描述的力气、勇气、力量和自信。

As we finished our repast, a slip of paper asking us to come to the Crystal Chamber at once floated down to the table. The great doors opened at our approach, and as we entered, Saint Germain and the others who had already arrived greeted us.

当我们刚吃完饭,一张纸片就飘到了我们的桌子上,邀请我们前往水晶室。我们走近时,巨大的敞开来迎接我们。当我们进入,圣哲曼和其他已经到达的人欢迎了我们。

“Our work here is finished for the present,” He said, as soon as we were seated, “for you have each leaped ahead in growth very rapidly because of previous attainment of which you are entirely unaware. Now you shall return to the ordinary routine and activity in the outer world, but you are no longer of it. Never again will the vibratory action of your minds and bodies be lowered to the point where they were before you entered the Cave of Symbols three days ago.

“当前我们在这里的工作已经完成了,”我们边坐下他边说,“因为你们每个人都达成了迅速的成长飞跃,你们之前取得的成就是你们完全没有意识到的。现在,你们将回到外部世界的日常生活和活动中,但是你们将不再属于外部世界。你们的心智和身体的振动活动再也不会降低至你们三天前进入这个符号山洞之前的那个水平了。”

“Your friends will see and feel the Change, but will not know Its Cause. They will always be restrained from asking personal questions. You may now wear your clothes of the outer world, but always keep your Robes, as they are for your meditation and communion with the Ascended Masters.

“你们的朋友会看到并感觉到变化,但是不会知道其原因。他们也不会问及你们个人问题。你们现在可以穿着外在世界的普通衣服,但是永远保存好你们的长袍,因为你要用它们进行冥想,并与扬升大师们交流。”

“I have my own Way of keeping in constant touch with you. If you will come with me as soon as you are ready, I will take you to the opening of the Cave, as I must be in the Far East at five o’clock this afternoon. Henceforth, we are never separated.”

“我自己有与你们保持联系的方式。你们一旦准备好了就跟我来,我会带你们到达山洞的出口,我在今天下午五点,一定要到达远东。从此以后,我们不会再分离。”

We returned in our hiking clothes, and Saint Germain led us to the entrance. We tried to express our gratitude, but He raised His hand for silence and said:

我们又穿上了我们的登山服回到这里,圣哲曼带领我们走到了山洞出口。我们想要表达我们的感激之情,但是他举起手示意让我们安静下来,说:

“In the future let us refrain from attempting to express what is already known to the others. We, I trust, have gone beyond the need of human conventions. I know the Great Love and Gratitude in your Hearts. My own Love and Gratitude are just as great as yours—that you have found the Way into Eternal Light, Freedom, and Perfection. That I have been privileged to be of Assistance is my sufficient reward. All is at the Command of ‘The Magic Presence’ within you—the ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ of the Universe.”

“在将来,我们不需要表达彼此已经知晓的事情了。我相信,我们已经超越了人类习俗的要求。我知道你们心中伟大的爱与感激。我自己的爱与感激之情跟你们一样多 —— 因为你们已经找到了通往永恒之光、自由和完美的道路。我有幸能够提供帮助,这对我来说回报已经足够。所有一切都在你们内在‘神奇的临在’的掌控中 —— 宇宙的‘伟大我是临在’。”

As He ceased speaking, His body grew less dense, became dim of outline, and finally disappeared completely before our very eyes. Our Love and Gratitude to Beloved Saint Germain is Boundless and Eternal; obedience to His Slightest Request is a Command to us and a Joy forever. He has helped mankind so continuously through the centuries that all in this world should give Him every possible cooperation.

话刚落音,他的身体就开始变得越来越轻盈,轮廓也变得越来越模糊,最终完全消失在我们的面前。我们对敬爱圣哲曼的爱与感激是无限和永恒的;对我们来说,服从他最微小的请求,是一种命令,也是一种永恒的喜悦。几个世纪以来,他一直不断地帮助人类,这个世界上所有的人都应该跟他建立起一切可能的合作机会。
