DISCOURSE XIV

INVOCATION: "I AM" the Joy, the Courage, the Confidence pervading all the earth-filling the hearts of mankind- consuming all generated thought of depression or lack in the minds of mankind; and that which has been sent forth through lack of confidence shall be wiped from the earth.

祈请：“我是”欢乐、勇敢、信心，弥漫在整个地球上，充满人类心灵，消除人类心灵中产生的所有压抑或缺乏的思想；那些因缺乏信心而被释放出来的东西将从地球上抹去。

"I AM" the Presence, the Perfect Christ Activity in the minds of all humanity, filling all official places, causing It to sustain all personalities, causing them to turn with quick certainty to the Source of their Being, the Perfect Life manifest in all outer expression. "I AM" the Presence proclaiming the Conscious Active Divinity in manifestation everywhere.

“我是”临在，是所有人类心灵中完美的基督活动，充满了所有官方职位，使它能够支撑所有个性，使他们能够迅速确定地转向他们的存在之源，即在所有外在表现中显现的完美生命。“我是”临在，宣告着在各处显化的有意识的神圣活动。

This shall be For " 'I AM' the Supreme Conquering Presence. 'I AM' here and 'I AM' there. I go everywhere, touching the brains of mankind as with a streak of Lightning-not with consuming power, but with the 'I AM Presence' that will no longer be gain- said." I bring you Greetings, Joy and Love from the Great Host.

这将是：“‘我是’至高无上的征服存在。‘我是’在这里，‘我是’在那里。我到处走动，如同闪电一般触摸着人类的大脑——不是用毁灭性的力量，而是用‘我是存在’，这个不再被否认的存在。”我向你们带来来自伟大主人的问候、欢乐和爱。

It is so wonderful, Beloved Ones, to have such perfect peace and calmness in your minds these mornings. Oh, could you understand the value of maintaining that peace of mind! There is nothing that warrants it being disturbed.

亲爱的，能在今天早晨感受到如此完美的平静和宁静，真是太美妙了。哦～你们能否理解保持心灵平静的价值！没有什么能够让它受到干扰。

Your melodies were beautiful, and wonderful words shall come forth to bless through the melodies. There is that Great Joy and advancing Conquering Presence that will bless your home, world, and students with Its Glorifying Presence-with Its Presence of opulence streaming forth like a mighty river to all who make themselves worthy by the peace and harmony of mind.

你们的旋律是美丽的，美妙的话语将通过这些旋律传递出来，为人们带来祝福。那伟大的喜悦和不断前进的征服临在将通过其光荣的存在，通过奢华的气息，像一条巨大的河流一样，赐福于你们的家园、世界和学生们，向所有通过心灵的平和与和谐使自己值得的人们洒下祝福。

THE DISCOURSE

I wish to call your attention this morning to the active Presence of Faith, Hope, and Charity. In this consideration, we will think of Faith as the Conquering, Emanating Power; Hope, the open doorway through the veil, acting in the Pure Presence; Charity, as the determination to think no evil, to speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil, feel no evil.

我希望今天早晨引起你们积极对我是临在之信仰、希望和慈善的关注。在这方面，我们将信仰看作是臣服、散发力量；希望是穿越面纱的敞开之门，作用于纯净的我是临在；慈善则是决心不去思考恶念、不去说恶语、不去看恶行、不去听恶言、不去感受邪恶。

Students should always watch the Inner Activity of the outer mind and not let themselves be fooled by its action. This may sound like a paradox, but it is not. This is more important than it seems at first. If there is lurking back in the consciousness any feeling of resistance of any kind whatsoever, or that something which is always ready to bristle when something displeases, pluck it out by the roots. You know it is of the outer, and it will stand in the way of your attainment to prevent it until you do pluck it out.

学生们应始终留意受外在意识影响内在活动，不要被其行为所愚弄。这听起来可能像个悖论，但事实并非如此。这比起初看起来更为重要。如果在意识中潜藏着任何形式的抵抗感，或者有一种总是准备好在某事令人不快时变得愤怒的感觉，那就把它连根拔起。你知道这是来自外在的，只有当你拔掉它时，它才会阻碍你的成就。

To maintain a tranquil, sweet disposition in the face of all things is the certain road to Self-control and Absolute Mastery. This is much more important than any of you can possibly understand at this time for your attainment of all that you desire.

在面对一切事物时保持平静、甜美的性情是通向自我控制和绝对掌控的确定之路。对于你们每一个人来说，这比你们现在可能理解的任何事情都更为重要，因为它决定了你们实现所有愿望的成就。

There are Cosmic Masters known as Faith, Hope, and Charity. In calling your attention to these three principles always active in the Life of mankind, I want to ure you that they are not only qualities within yourselves, but there are Beings of Great Light and advancement who are also known as Faith, Hope, and Charity. The individuals and students who make the conscious effort to cultivate these qualities and consciously expand them in their worlds will find themselves receiving great instance from these Conscious, Mighty Beings-from whose Names come these qualities into individualization. These are Cosmic, Self-conscious, Intelligent Beings, whose special action with mankind is to encourage and expand these qualities. Therefore let all the students understand that this is far more than a scriptural phrase or expression. At this time these Great Ones have come from out the "Cosmic Silence" because of the need of Faith, Hope, and Charity in the minds and hearts of mankind. The sinister force that would have destroyed the confidence, the hope, and the charity in the minds of the American people is doomed to fail utterly. Even now, hundreds who voted for a wet administration are finding their own uncontrolled thought recoiled upon them and are regretting the unwisdom of the action. So out of seeming wrong activity will still come great good. Since the hypnotic force that was generated has spent itself, many of mankind are wondering what caused them to do certain things; and their very rebellion will generate the force which will be used to correct conditions after all. God, which is Progress, knows no defeat in anything. Let students always remember this, which will enable them to maintain the so much needed peace and poise of mind.

存在着被称为信仰、希望和慈善的宇宙大师。在向你们提及这三个始终活跃于人类生活中的原则时，我想向你们保证，它们不仅是你们自身的品质，而且还有伟大的光明和进化的存有，也被称为信仰、希望和慈善。那些有意识地努力培养这些品质并在自己的世界中有意识地扩展它们的人和学生们，会发现自己得到了这些有意识、强大的存在的巨大帮助——正是来自那些已经完全将这三个品质个体化的伟大存有。这些都是宇宙中自我意识、智慧的存在，他们特别与人类互动来鼓励和扩展这些品质。因此，让所有的学生明白，这远不仅仅是一句圣经的短语或表达。此时此刻，这些伟大的存在从“宇宙的沉默”中出现，因为人们心灵中需要信仰、希望和慈善。那种企图摧毁美国人心中的信心、希望和慈善的邪恶力量注定要彻底失败。即使现在，许多投票支持湿法行政管理的人也发现自己无法控制的思想反而伤害了他们，并为自己的愚蠢后悔不已。因此，即使从表面上看，错误的行为仍会带来巨大的好处。由于被激发出来的催眠力量已经消耗殆尽，许多人都在思考是什么导致他们做出了某些行为；而他们的反抗将产生力量，而这个力量将被用来纠正现状。神的进展是没有任何事物可以打败的。学生们需要永远记住这一点，这将使他们能够保持极度的心灵平静和镇定。

The Majestic Being "Charity" has a natural Consuming Force for dissolving and annihilating hate, criticism and condemnation, and uses the Cosmic Rays as a balancing force in the ethers, from which human beings are drawing their very breath and sustenance, so in spite of themselves, they are breathing in the Fire of these Rays.

慈善这个伟大的存在有着天然的分解力量，可以溶解和消灭仇恨、批评和谴责，并利用来自宇宙的圣光来作为平衡的力量，让人们从乙太中汲取着他们的呼吸和生命所需的支持。因此，尽管他们自己不知道，他们仍在吸入这些圣光的火焰。

This reminds me of an illustration. You know, when a person is fainting, many times you hold the smelling salts or ammonia under that one's nose. This is what is actually taking place under the nose of humanity. It is now breathing in this Consuming Presence. (Ask your students not to discuss this fact with unbelievers, but it is vital that the students understand this.)

这让我想起一个例子。你知道，当一个人晕倒时，很多时候你会把刺激性或氨水放在那个人的鼻子下面。这就是在人类眼皮底下真实发生的事情。他现在就在呼吸着这种分解性的临在。（要求你的学生不要与不相信的人讨论这个事实，但学生理解这一点至关重要。）

Here I want to stress something earnestly. To the earnest, sincere student, there are innumerable means of assistance available to him, much of which is and will remain entirely unknown to him, but from which he nevertheless draws-when his desire for the Light is sincere.

在这里我想郑重地强调一件事。 对于认真和真诚的学生来说，有无数的帮助手段可供他使用，其中大部分对他来说是未知的，且将仍对他保持未知的状态，但当他对圣光的渴望是真诚的时候，他仍然可以从中汲取帮助。

To throw everything to the winds and stand joyously and determinedly in that "One Mighty Presence which 'I AM,' " enables each one to have a continuous stream of victories marked down to his or her benefit. No effort ever made in the "Name and Presence which 'I AM,' " can ever fail; but must go forward from one Victory to another until one attains and is able to use the Scepter of his Full Dominion.

抛开一切，欢乐且坚定地站在那“唯一强大的临在中，即‘我是’”，能够使每个人都获得连续不断的胜利，这对他来说是有利的。在“名字(扬升大师之名)和临在中，即‘我是’”，所做的任何努力都不会失败；而必须从一个胜利走向另一个胜利，直到一个人获得并能够使用他完全统治的权杖。

I wish to encourage and strengthen the very important advancing consciousness concerning the Law of Forgiveness. The correct way to call into action the Law of Forgiveness is to say: " 'I AM' the Law of Forgiveness and the Consuming Flame of all inharmonious action and human consciousness." This sets into motion the completed Action.

我希望鼓励和加强关于宽恕法则的进阶意识，这一点非常重要。运用宽恕法则的正确方式是说：“‘我是’宽恕法则，是分解所有不和谐行为和人类意识的吞噬火焰。“整个宇宙的运作将会被激活。

When you use the statement: "I call on the Law of Forgiveness," you are not always completing the action, because you need to be conscious of who and where that Intelligence is which enables it to be done.

当你使用这句话：“我呼请宽恕法则”时，并不总是能完成行动，因为你需要意识到是谁和使其能够得意实现的智能在哪里。

As I look among the students, I find that it is important to keep touching frequently upon the use of the "I AM Presence," for It is doing remarkable things for them already. My very Being lifts up when I see among the students those whose attention is held with determination upon the "I AM Presence"; how the student becomes a powerful magnet for the Light, and how It rushes to envelop each one as a loving mother enfolds her child. Could people see and realize this for one moment, their determination would surge into a Conquering Flame from which there could be no receding.

当我观察学生时，我发现经常使用“我是临在”的重要性，因为它已经为它们做了了不起的事情。当我看到学生们的注意力坚定地集中在“我是临在”时，我的整个存在都提升了；学生如何成为吸引光的强大磁石，以及它如何像慈爱的母亲拥抱她的孩子一样迅速包围每个人。如果人们看见并意识到这一点哪怕只有一瞬间，他们的决心就会涌动成一团无法退去的征服/胜利之火。

The time is apropos today, and I send forth to each of you and the students a Conscious Ball of Light enveloping the heart and brain of each one, that they may receive more continuously the conscious Blessing of the "Mighty I AM Presence." I believe that most of them will feel this. Whether they do or not, nothing can interfere with Its Action to bless them.

今天是一个合适的时刻，我向你们每个人和学生们发送一个有意识的光球，环绕着每个人的心脏和大脑，以便他们能更持续地接受“强大的我是临在”的有意识祝福。我相信他们中的大多数人会感受到这点。无论他们是否感受到，没有任何事物能干扰它祝福他们的行动。

To those blessed ones who find disturbance in the home at times, I would suggest that they use this Statement and feel it deeply: " 'I AM' the Conquering Presence, commanding Peace, Love and Harmony in my home and environment." Anyone who will use this with determination can have a peaceful, loving, harmonious atmosphere in the home. Some may need to build a momentum to experience its continuous action. Many times they will have immediate results. To build this into the consciousness is recognizing the "I AM Presence" as the Ruling Power in their homes, for It is naturally the Ruling Presence.

对于有时候在家感到不安的那些被祝福的人们，我会建议他们使用并深刻感受这肯定句：“‘我是’胜利性的临在，我命令和平、爱与和谐存在于我的家庭和环境之中。”任何愿意坚定地使用它的人都可以在家里拥有和平、充满爱、和谐的气氛。有些人可能需要累积量子能量来体验其持续的作用。很多时候他们会立即的看见效果。要将这一点融入意识中，就要认知到“我是临在”是他们家中的统治力量，因为它自然是统治的存在。

If students and individuals who have difficulty in maintaining Self-control will sit quietly for five minutes, feeling deeply and thinking to themselves: " 'I AM' Loving Charity," they will find a sense of great relief.

如果学生和个人连自我控制地，安静的静坐五分钟都无法做到，可以深深感受并默念：“‘我是’慈悲喜舍”，他们会就开始发现自己在释放。

For fainting: You know, speaking of fainting, the individual never faints-only the personality does that. Therefore if one who is in the habit of fainting will take this determined stand:" 'I AM' the Commanding Presence forbidding this nonsense, and I forever maintain control of my mind and body," he or she will forever control it.

对于晕厥：你知道，说到晕厥，个人永远不会晕倒——只有人格才会晕倒。 因此，如果一个习惯于昏倒的人采取这样坚定的立场：“‘我是’，统御性的临在禁止这种闹剧，我永远保持对我的思想和身体的控制”，他或她将可以永远控制它。

When one first feels the least disturbance, quickly take the consciousness: "'I AM' the Commanding Presence, and I maintain my consciousness here." One must realize that in the command of the "I AM Presence" he has absolute Control of the body. The more anyone uses this, the more quickly does manifestation take place.

当一个人第一次感受到最轻微的干扰时，迅速采取这样的意识宣告：“‘我是’统帅性的临在，我将我的意识保持在这里。” 人们必须认识到，在“我是临在”的宣告下，他对自己的身体拥有绝对的控制权。 使用这个宣告并认知到的人越多，显化发生的速度就越快。

Q. If the Great Central Sun is the Heart Center of the Infinite, where is that which is the brain center?

问：如果宇宙中央太阳是无限的心脏中心，那么大脑的中心在哪里呢？

A. In the Pure State, whether in the Infinite or the finite, when there is no imperfection, the brain and heart activity become One, for the motive power of all activity sent forth is Love from the Heart. Therefore, in the Pure State, the heart and brain are synonymous, for within Divine Love is contained Love, Wisdom and Power.

答：在纯粹的状态下，无论是无限还是有限，当没有缺陷时，大脑和心脏活动合会而为一，因为所有活动的动力都是发自内心的爱。 因此，在纯粹状态中，心和脑是同义词，因为神圣之爱中包含着爱、智慧和力量。

 

The Infinite Energy is always present awaiting use, but does not act in the Life of an individual except under Conscious Command. There does come a time in the progress of the individual when things act so instantaneously that it seems to be automatic, but it really never is.

无限的能量始终存在并等待着被使用，但是不会再个人生活中发挥任何作用或动作，除非受到有意识的指令。在个人进步过程中，确实会出现一种情况，就是事情的发生看似瞬间即刻或突然，似乎是自动发生的， 但实际上从来不是。

There is absolutely but one road to Self-conscious Mastery, and that is the Conscious Direction of the Eternal Energy into whatever you desire. Now this brings us to another quite vital point.

实现自我意识的掌控绝对只有一条途径，那就是将永恒能量有意识地引导到你所渴望的事物上。现在这让我们来谈谈另一个非常关键的点。

Desire is an indirect action of the attention, but desire, sustained by the determined use of the attention, causes the desire to become an invincible manifestation. This will give you a slight idea of how important it is that conscious direction be coupled with the desire. Conscious use of the "I AM Presence," or the consciously directed use of this Eternal Energy to a given accomplishment, should at no time be anything but a most joyous effort. It should never seem like work or tension in any way, because when you declare: " 'I AM' the Presence, the Intelligence, directing this energy to a given purpose," you set the Law in motion in a perfectly easy, calm manner, and it does not require any "tearing the hair" effort. Therefore it should always be a calm, serene, determined procedure.

欲望是注意力的间接性活动，但通过坚定地使用注意力来维持欲望，会使欲望成为不可能失败的一种显化的表现。这会让你略微了解到，有意识的引导与欲望相结合是多么重要。有意识地使用“我是临在”，或者有意识地定向使用这种永恒的能量来实现既定的成就，在任何时候都应该是一种最快乐的努力。它永远不应该像是一种工作或者感到紧张，因为当你宣告：“‘我是’临在，是引导这种能量到特定目的地的智慧”，你就是以完全轻松、平静的方式启动了法则，不需要任何“拔头发”的努力。因此，它应该始终是一种平静、宁静、决心的过程。

The student should at all times understand that the student never chooses the Master, but the Master chooses the student. Did the student understand what consciousness he was to maintain, it would come about very much sooner. For contacting the Ascended Masters, use: " 'I AM' the Presence preparing the way and bringing visible contact with the Beloved Ascended Masters."

学生应始终明白，学生从未选择扬升大师，而是扬升大师选择了学生。 如果学生了解他要保持什么意识，那么这种联系将会更快地实现。 要想链接扬升大师，请使用：“‘我是’正在开启和挚爱的扬升大师的可见接触。”

With the use of the "I AM Presence" you have Full Command and Limitless Control over all disturbing conditions. When you speak in the "I AM Presence," you are speaking in the "Presence" which the Ascended Being is. You must realize deeply that when you say "I AM," it is the Full God-Power acting and knows no failure of any kind.

通过使用“我是临在”，你可以完全指挥和无限控制所有令人不安的情况。 当你以“我是临在”说话时，你就是以扬升存有的“临在”来说话。 你必须深刻地认识到，当你说“我是”时，这就是完全神力的表现，不会有任何失败。

BENEDICTION: We give praise and thanks for Thy Infinite Outpouring, "Great I AM Presence." We give praise and thanks that at last, we know who Thou art, and that within Thee are all possibilities. We give praise and thanks that Thy Mighty Presence is always the Governing Intelligence, the Love enfolding, the Light illumining everything on the way.

祝福：我们赞美并感谢你无限的倾注，“伟大的我是临在”。 我们赞美并感谢，我们终于知道你是谁，并且在你之内拥有一切可能性。 我们赞美并感谢你的强大临在始终是统治智慧、包容之爱、照亮路上一切的光。
