THE DISCOURSE

开示

Life, in all Its Activities everywhere manifest, is God in Action; and it is only through lack of the understanding of applied thought and feeling that mankind is constantly interrupting the pure flow of that Perfect Essence of Life which would, without interference, naturally express Its Perfection everywhere.

生命，在其所有活动中无所不在，就是神的行动；正是由于在思想和情感中缺乏这一理解，人类才不停地去干扰生命完美精华的纯粹流动，若是没有干扰，这种完美的生命精华本可以在任何地方表达它的完美。

The natural tendency of Life is Love, Peace, Beauty, Harmony, and Opulence, for Life cares not who uses It, but is constantly surging to pour more of Its Perfection into manifestation, always with that lifting process which is ever inherent within Itself.      

生命的自然倾向是爱、和平、美丽、和谐和富足，因为生命并不在乎它的使用者，而是不停涌动，将其更多的完美倾洒进入显化中，这一切也总是伴随着它自身固有的提升过程。

“I AM”

“我是”

“I AM” is the Activity of “That Life.”

“我是”就是“那生命”的活动。

How strange it is that students with sincere interest do not seem to get the True Meaning of those two words.

真奇怪，有诚意的学生似乎并没有得到这两个字的真谛。

When you say and feel “I AM,” you release the spring of Eternal, Everlasting Life to flow on Its way unmolested. In other words, you open wide the door to Its natural flow. When you say “I AM not, ” you shut the door in the face of this Mighty Energy.

当你说出并感觉到“我是”时，你就释放了永恒、永生生命的泉水，让它畅通无阻地流淌。换句话说，你敞开了让它自然流淌的大门。当你说“我不是”时，你就是直接关闭了这股伟大能量的流通之门。

“I AM” is the Full Activity of God.

“我是”是神的全部活动。

Having placed before you so often the Truth of God in Action, I wish you to understand Its first expression in individualization. The first expression of every individual, everywhere in the Universe, either in spoken word, silent thought or feeling, is “I AM,” recognizing Its Own Conquering Divinity.

神处于行动中的这一真理如此反复地出现在你面前，是因为我希望你能明白它在个体化中的第一个表达。宇宙中每个角落每个个体的第一个表达，不论是口头表达、沉思默想、还是感觉，就是“我是”，这是它承认自己主宰的神性。

The student, endeavoring to understand and apply these mighty, yet simple Laws, must stand guard more strictly over his thought and expression—in word or otherwise; for every time you say “I AM not” “I cannot” “I have not,” you are, whether knowingly or unknowingly, throttling that “Great Presence” within you. This is just as tangible as if you placed your hands about the throat of an outer form, only with the outer form, your thought governing the hand, you can release it at any time; but when you make a declaration using the words “I AM not,” you set in motion Mighty, Limitless Energy that continues to act, unless it is recalled and the imperfection consumed and transmuted.

努力理解并应用这些伟大又简单的法则的学生，必须严格地保护自己的思想和表达 —— 无论是在语言上还是在其他方面；因为每次你说“我不是”“我不能”“我没有”的时候，无论是有意的还是无意的，你都在扼杀你内在的“伟大临在”。这就像是你把手扼在外在形态的喉咙上，不过在外在形态中，你的思想可以控制你的手，你随时可以松开，这些是可以触碰到的；但是当你使用“我不是”这样的宣告时，你就是扼杀了持续作用的强大、无限的能量，除非你召回，让不完美被吞噬和转化。

This shows you the enormous power you have to qualify this Mighty Energy of God, and I tell you Beloved Students, dynamite is less dangerous, for that would but liberate you from the body; while these thoughts sent forth ignorantly and ungoverned bind you upon the wheel of re-embodiment indefinitely.

这是在向你展示，你拥有为这种伟大神之能量赋予特质的巨大力量，我告诉你，亲爱的学生们，炸药的危险性较小，因为它只会让你从肉体中解脱出来；而这些无知且不受约束地散发出的想法反而会把你无限期地捆绑在不停转世的过程中。

Thus you can see how important it is for you to know what you are doing when you thoughtlessly use wrong expressions; because you are using the Most Divine Principle of Activity in the Universe— “I AM.”

由此可见，自己在轻率地使用错误的表达时是在做什么，了解这一点多么重要；因为你在使用宇宙中最神圣的活动法则 —— “我是”。

Do not misunderstand me—this is no idle, foreign, or Oriental expression, but the Highest Principle of Life used and expressed throughout every civilization that has ever existed—for the first expression every Self-conscious form of Life gives is “I AM.” It is only afterwards, in its contact with outer, wrongly qualified activity, that it begins to accept anything less than “I AM.”

不要误会我 —— 这不是无聊的、外来的或者东方式的表达，而是生命的最高法则，在曾经存在的每个文明中都被使用和表达 —— 因为每个自我意识的生命形态给出的第一个表达就是“我是”。只是后来，在与外在错误限定的活动接触后，它才开始接受“我是”之外的其他事物。

Now Dear Students, do you not see that when you say , “I AM sick,” you are just reversing this Principle of Life, which is naturally all Perfection; thus requalifying it by your willful ignorance with something which it never naturally possessed?

亲爱的学生，当你说，“我是生病了”，你难道没有看到，你在颠倒这个生命的法则吗，因为它自然是所有的完美；因此，通过你有意的无知，你赋予它从来没有拥有过的一些特质，这些本来是它在自然状态下所没有的。

Through long centuries of willful misunderstanding, humanity has charged the very atmosphere about them with falsehood and unreality, for I need not say to you that when you say “I AM sick,” it is an abject falsehood in respect to your Divinity, which cannot be sick.

Does this sound harsh to you?

经过几个世纪漫长的误解，人类已经用虚假和不真实的氛围充斥着围绕着他们的大气层，我并不需要告诉你，当你说出“我是生病了”时，这是对你神性的一种贬低性谎言，因为它不会生病。这听起来刺耳吗？

Then I say, think it over, and you will see what a blessing and release it can be to you.

接下来我告诉你，想一想就会明白，它对你来说是一种祝福的释放。

I say to you, Dear Students, in the Name of God, stop using these wrong expressions of your Godhead, of your Divinity, for it is impossible for you to have Freedom as long as you continue to do it. I cannot speak of this to you too often: that when you really recognize and accept the Mighty Presence of God in you, there are positively no adverse conditions.

我对你说，亲爱的学生们，以神的名义，停止使用这些对你神性的错误表达，因为只要你持续这么去做，就不可能拥有自由。我不能再更多地重复这一点：当你真正地意识到并接受你内在的伟大神之临在时，就不会出现负面的状况。

STOP! I say to you, giving power to the outer conditions, persons, places or things, and in the Name of God, every time you find yourself starting to say “I AM sick,” “I AM broke, ” “I AM not feeling well” instantly reverse this fatal condition to your progress; and declare silently with all the intensity of your being —, “I AM”—which is all health, opulence, Perfection, happiness, peace, and the power to recognize Perfection in yourself and everywhere else.

停下来！我告诉你们，不要再把力量给予外部的状况、人、地方或者事物；以神的名义，每次当你发现自己开始说“我病了”，“我破产了”，“我感觉不好”时，马上把这种灾难性的表达转化成你的进步，并用你存在的所有强度去默默地宣告 —— “我是” —— 所有的健康、富裕、完美、幸福、和平和力量，并认识到你自己以及无所不在的完美。

When you think of the expression “I AM,” it means that you know you have God in Action expressing in your Life. Do not let these false expressions continue to govern and limit you. Continually remind yourself: “I live, move, and have my Being and all outer expression in the full opulence of God, made manifest every moment. “

当你想到“我是”这一表达时，这意味着你知道，行动中的神正表达在你的生命中。不要让那些虚假的表达持续支配和限制你。不断地提醒你自己：“我生活、行动、我的存在和所有的外在表达，都在神的全然丰盛中。”

In thus reminding yourself of this Invincible, Unconquerable Presence, you keep the door open for Its pure, Invincible Essence and Intelligence to weave into your outer expression that wondrous Perfection.

通过这样提醒自己这位无敌的、不可征服的临在时，你就为它纯粹的、不可战胜的本质和智慧打开了大门，从而把那美妙的完美编织到你外在表达中。

I plead with you, Dear Ones everywhere, do not continue to use these wrong expressions thinking that in some hocus-pocus way you may slide past reaping the result. IT SIMPLY CANNOT BE DONE.

我恳求你们，各地的人们，不要继续使用那些错误的表达了，也不要认为你可能会以投机取巧的方式有所收获。它根本不是这样。

Many of you know that they use the branding- iron on the Western Frontier as a recognition of ownership by the ranchmen. So great is my desire to have you recognize and hold fast to the active Presence of God in you, that I almost long for a branding-iron to brand those words —”I AM” —into your consciousness for constant use; that you could not be drawn off the recognition, acceptance, and use of that Mighty, Glorious Presence of God, which you are.

你们中的很多人或许知道，在美国西部农场主会给牲畜用烙铁打上烙印，作为一种所有权的宣告。我渴望让你们认识，并牢牢地抓住你内在活跃的神之临在，我几乎渴望把“我是”这个词烙印在你的意识中，这样就会经常去使用了；这样你的注意力就不会从对神的伟大闪耀临在的认可、接受和使用中离开，而这才是真正的你。

I trust that all who may hear or read these words will feel the Power and the Mighty Conviction of this Truth that goes with them—leaping into action wherever expressed.

我相信所有那些听到或阅读到这些文字的人，会感受到这一真理的力量和强大信念伴随着他们 —— 在表达时体现出来。

If at any time anything less than Perfection attempts to make an appearance in your experience, declare vehemently that it is not true, and that you accept only God, which is Perfection in your Life, everywhere manifest. As long as you give way to accepting false appearances, you will have them expressed in your Life and experience. It is not, Dear Student, a matter of belief on your part whether you accept these Truths or not, but they are the Law, proven through long centuries of experience, and are placed before you for your Freedom.

在任何时候，如果任何不完美的事物试图出现在你的体验中，强烈地宣告，这是不真实的，你只接受神，也就是你让你生命中的完美进行无所不在的表达。只要你屈从于接受虚假的表象，你就会让它们在你的生命和体验中得到表达。亲爱的学生，这并不是你是否要去接受这些真理的信念问题，而是它们是法则，已经经过了数百年经验的验证，为了你的自由放置在你面前。

Awaken to the fact that your thought and feeling in the past have built—created—the inharmony of your world today. Arise! I say, Arise! and walk with the Father—the “I AM”—that you may be free from these limitations. There is only one thing in this Universe that can surround you with limitation, and that is accepting the outer appearance instead of the Mighty, Active Presence of God in you.

意识到，是你们过去建立起的想法和感觉 —— 创造了 —— 你们当今世界的不和谐。站起来，我说，站起来！与圣父同行 —— 与“我是”同行 —— 这样你们就可以摆脱这些限制。在这个宇宙中，只有一件事情可以限制你，那就是接受外在的表象，而不是你内在伟大的、活跃的神之临在。

The Western World likes to fool itself with the idea that it refuses to accept the ancient and Eastern idea of sorcery—in other words, the misuse of the Spiritual Powers. The worst kind of sorcery is being used in the political fields today that has ever been known in the history of mankind through the use of mental power—wrongly qualified.

西方世界喜欢用这样的观念自欺欺人，它拒绝接受古代和东方的巫术的理念 —— 即对灵性力量的滥用。当今政治领域正在使用的是人类历史上最卑劣的巫术，也就是利用被错误限定的心智力量。

It is today as it was at one time in Egypt. Those who misuse the mental power are binding themselves to the rack of inharmony, embodiment after embodiment.

现今的情况跟过去埃及出现的状况一样。那些滥用心智能量的人把自己束缚在不和谐的架构中，经历了一次又一次的转世。

Take the stand: “I do not take on conditions from anybody or anything about me but God— Good, and ‘I AM’ always God-commanded.” You need to acquire the habit of stilling yourself. Sit down three or four times a day and simply still the outer self. This will let the energy be supplied. Learn to command and control the energy in your body. If you want the energy still—be still. If you want the energy active—be active. You must stand up, face a thing, and rise above it. There is no other way.

采取这样的立场：“我不接受除了来自神之外的有关我的任何人和状况 —— 我只接受好的，‘我是’总处于神的命令中。”你需要养成让自己安静下来的习惯。每天安静地坐下来三到四次，让外在自我平静下来。这样会让能量得到供应。学会指挥和控制体内的能量。如果你想让能量静止下来 —— 就保持静止。如果你想让能量活跃 —— 就活跃起来。你必须站起来去面对一件事情，然后去超越它。别无他法。

The student should watch in every way for habits and break them up. He should not have to be told, but must look within himself and uproot whatever is not Perfect. This brings a freedom not possible in any other way.

学生们应该以各种方式去注意他们的习惯，并打破它们。他不应被告知，而是必须审视自己，并根除任何不完美的东西。这会带来其他任何方式都无法达到的自由。

The holding on of old habits is just like wearing old, worn-out garments. The student must not wait for someone else to think these things out for him. He must do it himself. It is not possible for anyone to do it but himself.

坚持旧习惯就像是穿着一件破旧的外衣。学生不能等着别人替他们想清楚这些事情。他必须自己去做。除了他自己，任何人都做不到。

In this Work and under this Radiation, everything that is latent in the individual is being brought forth to be consumed. Watch—that the attention does not become fixed on the thing you do not want.

在这样的工作和这种照耀之中，潜伏在一个人中的一切都会浮出水面被转化。要注意 —— 不要把注意力集中在你不想体验的东西上。

It is perfectly ridiculous to keep recalling things which have not worked out. If you have built your limitations for centuries and can, by this attention and self-effort, free yourself in a few years, isn’t it worth it? Is it not marvelous?

不断回忆失败的事情是非常荒谬的。如果你已经积累了几个世纪的限制，通过控制注意力和自我努力，你可以在几年内解放自己，这不值得吗？这不是很奇妙吗？

A humorous sense of getting away from a thing is sometimes the quickest and most powerful way of doing it, for a buoyant, joyous feeling releases the energy that many times enables a very wonderful manifestation to take place.

以一种幽默的方式远离一件事情，有时候是最快最有力的方式，因为一种轻盈、快乐的感觉会释放很多能量。很多时候，这种能量会让非常美妙的显化得以发生。

If one will buckle down to brass tacks and call on the Law of Forgiveness, he can then consume all past creations in the Consuming Flame and be free. You must be conscious that the Flame is the Active Presence of God doing the consuming.

如果一个人愿意认真努力地考虑这些实质性的问题，并呼请宽恕法则，那么他就可以在吞噬火焰中转化所有过去的创造，并获得自由。你必须意识到，火焰是神活跃的临在，进行着吞噬。

The Freedom of God is here in action.

神之自由在这里发挥作用。

When you have a feeling to do a certain constructive thing, go ahead, stick to it and do it, if the heavens fall. Whether the manifestation comes now or not should not enter into your consciousness at all.

当你感觉有必要去做某件建设性的事情时，勇往直前，坚持去做，天塌了又何妨。是否现在就实现，还是以后实现，这一点根本不应该出现在你的意识中。

Even when students only know a thing intellectually, they should not allow the mind to keep recalling wrong conditions when they know what this activity does to their success. It is unbelievable that people will not conquer this enemy in their consciousness. No student can ever gain the victory until he stops turning back to the old, negative conditions he is trying to get rid of.

即便当学生们只在脑中知道一件事情，他们也不应该让头脑继续去回忆错误的状况，他们应该知道这样的活动对他们的成功有什么影响。令人难以置信的是，人们在他们的意识中无法战胜这一敌人。除非学生停止沉迷回到他试图摆脱的陈旧的负面状况，否则，他永远不会取得成功。

The whole work of a teacher is to get some means and explanation over to the student of the activity of acceptance. What the mind accepts is that which the individual agrees with through his attention, by letting the two become one. When the mind accepts and agrees with a thing or condition, the individual decrees it into his world. Whatever you let the attention rest upon, you are agreeing with and accepting, because through the attention you have let the mind become one with it.

一位老师的全部工作就是把一些方法和解释传授给处于接受状态的学生。心智接受的内容是这个人得到他的注意力同意的，让这两者合二为一。当心智接受并同意某一事物或状况，这个人就是下达了喻令，让它进入自己的世界中。不论你让注意力停留在哪里，你就是在同意和接受，因为通过注意力，你让心智与它合而为一。

If an individual were to see a rattlesnake coiled, would he walk right up to be struck? Certainly not! Yet this is what students are doing when they let their attention turn back to their troubles. Such habits are only past momentum given a specific quality.

如果一个人看到一条盘绕着的响尾蛇，它会直接撞上去吗？当然不！然而，当学生把注意力转向他们的麻烦时，他们就是在这么做。这样的习惯只是被赋予了某种特质的过去的势头。

There are only two activities in Life, and if you will not let the Inner govern according to Its plan of Perfection, then the outer must.

生命只有两种活动，如果你不让内在根据它的完美进化进行掌控，那么外在一定会接管。

When a constructive picture is flashed to your mind, it is a reality. When you recall it as a mental picture and hold it again, it calls forth the reality.

当一幅建设性的画面闪现过你的脑海，它就是一种实相。当你在心智当中去回忆它，并坚持这么做，它就会带来这种实相。

One can become so aware of his own God Presence that at any time he can see and feel Its Radiance pouring out to him.

一个人可以变得对他自己的神之临在非常有意识，以至于他可以在任何时候都可以看到并感觉到它的光芒倾泻到他身上。

For things it does not want, the outer has all the confidence in the world. It is up to the student to compel it to have the same confidence for the Perfection of God that it has for the imperfection of the senses.

对那些不喜欢东西的存在而言，外在自我总是在世界上有着各种各样的信心。学生有责任让自己对神之完美拥有同样的信心，就像知道感官可以创造不完美那种信心一样。

The student must always rely on himself. He must always think, “What can I do to intensify this activity from the hints given? “

学生必须始终依靠自己。他必须总是这样去思考，“根据给出的提示，我可以做些什么，来加强这种活动？”

BENEDICTION: Mighty Perfected Ones! As we receive Thy Magic Circle of Protection, as we receive and are enfolded in Thy Mighty Opulent Presence, O Master Within! we accept fully that Opulence made manifest in our outer experience and use. We give praise and thanks for Thy Wisdom in Its use. We give praise and thanks that we have the full strength to accept only Thy Mighty Active Presence at all times, and to refuse acceptance to anything unlike Thee.

祝福：伟大的完美者！当我们接受你的魔法保护圈时，当我们接受、并被你伟大丰盛的临在包围时，噢，内在的上师！你们完全接受丰盛在我们的外在体验和使用中表达出来。我们赞美并感谢你智慧的运用。我们赞美并感谢，我们用充分的勇气，在任何时候只接受你那伟大活跃的临在，拒绝接受任何与你不校准的存在。
