I bring you Greetings from the Great Host, and personally from Jesus, who will again speak to you over His Ray today.

我带来了来自伟大之主和耶稣的问候，今天祂将再次通过祂的光束对你们讲话。

THE DISCOURSE BY  BELOVED JESUS

In the Fullness of My Love, I come to you again today over the Great Light and Sound Ray, this time to direct consciously the Healing Ray to every one of the students. This Ray I will sustain for two weeks every day, that they may have the Radiance of the Healing Power.

我带着满满的爱，今天再次通过伟大的光与声之光束来到你们身边，这次是有意识地向每一位学生传递疗愈之光。这道光我将持续两周，让他们能够沐浴在疗愈力量的照耀中。

In My Ministry to mankind among the hills of Judea, I stirred the latent memory within the Inner Records of mankind, and its Work is still going on today. I wish the students to understand that preceding all conscious healing upon My part, within My own mind I was always conscious that: "'I AM' the only Healing Presence" and, as that "Unlimited I AM Presence," I had the Right, the Power, and the Ability, through that Presence, to command all outer activity of the mind to be silent and obey Its Command.

在耶路撒冷山脉中，我拨动了人类内心中潜在的记忆，这项工作至今仍在继续。我希望学生们明白，在我进行所有有意识的疗愈之前，我的心中始终意识到：“‘我是’唯一的疗愈的临在”，并且作为那“无限的‘我是’临在”，我有权力、有力量和能力通过那个临在，来命令所有外在心灵活动保持安静并服从它的命令。

Thus when I spoke to individuals, I spoke with that Authority of the "I AM Presence," which I recognized as the Only Intelligence and Power acting, or that could act. I was conscious of the outer activity of the minds of those of humanity about Me, but as I said to you before, it was only when I began using, " 'I AM' the Resurrection and the Life," that the fullness of My Mission, and how it was to be fulfilled was entirely revealed. This is the particular point I wish to stress with the students today: that within each one of them is the same "Mighty I AM Presence" which I used to accomplish the Perfection of that Mighty Presence. This seemed to humanity at that time the performing of miracles. However, I assure you, it was but consciously setting into action and use Cosmic Laws that are ever about you—to be set into activity through conscious direction. The mistake that students make and which delays their achievement is in feeling that they are acting a falsehood in declaring the Perfection they do not yet see manifest in their appearance or activity. I tell you sincerely from My own Experience that we must acknowledge the One Presence, Intelligence and Power, then claim It as our own in our every thought and activity. It is the only way this Mighty Perfection can be brought into the outer appearance and the fullness of your use. Because that Perfection has not yet appeared—seemingly—should not deter you from applying and claiming Perfection as your own, for anyone with average intelligence has but to stop and think that the Energy, the Life Principle which he is using, is God, the "Mighty I AM Presence." Therefore, Its Presence, Power, and Energy is always Self-sustaining. In the claiming of this Mighty Presence and Activity, you consciously set It into action in your Life,  home,  world  and  affairs.  Today, as in the time of My Attainment, the financial struggle seems to be most weighing; and yet within the reach of your conscious manipulation and direction of the Mighty Energy, Substance and Opulence about you, you have everything with which to draw to you that Wondrous, Omnipresent Opulence of God.

因此，当我对个体说话时，我是以“我是临在”的权威在发言，这被我视为唯一能够行动的智慧和力量。我意识到人类心灵的外在活动，但正如我之前所说，只有当我开始使用“‘我是’复苏的生命和生命精华”时，关于我使命的全部和如何实现它才被揭示出来。这是我今天想特别强调给学生们的一个重点：在每个人的内在都有同样的“强大的我是临在”，我用祂来实现那强大临在的完美。这在当时的人类看堪称奇迹。然而，我向你们保证，这只是有意识地采取行动并使用宇宙法则，这些法则始终围绕着你们，通过有意识的引导被激活。学生们犯的错误，以及延缓他们取得成就的原因，在于他们在还没看见显化出来的完美之前，会觉得在宣告外在的活动或行为是在作假/虚伪。我诚挚地告诉你们，从我的亲身经历中，我们必须承认唯一的临在、智慧和力量，然后在我们的每一个思想和行为中宣告祂是我们自己。这是将这种强大的完美带入外在活动并充分使用的唯一方法。因为这种完美看起来还没有显化，但不应阻止你们运用和宣告完美是自己的，因为任何具有一定智力的人都需停下来想一想，他正在使用的能量和生命原则就是神，即“强大的我是临在”。因此，它的临在、力量和能量是自我维持的。在宣告这种强大的临在和活动时，你有意识地将祂带入到你的生活、家庭、世界和事务中。今天，与我成就时一样，财务上的挣扎似乎最为沉重；然而，在你有意识地操纵和引导你周围强大的能量、物质和财富的范围内，你拥有一切来吸引你神奇的、无处不在的神的财富。

When you say "I AM, "you are stirring that into action to fulfill your conscious demand. One of the first and mightiest things that became clear in My consciousness was My ability, everyone's ability, to qualify this energy, consciously directed, with whatever the seeming need demanded. Thus the energy may produce for your use, gold, silver, money, food, clothing, means of conveyance, or whatever the conscious demand is.

当你说“我是”时，你就是在激活这种力量来满足你有意识需求。首先，这也是最重要的一点是，我在意识中清楚地认识到我的能力以及每个人的能力，可以在有需要的时候，有意识地引导这股能量。因此，这种能量可以为你的需求生产黄金、白银、金钱、食物、衣物、交通工具或任何有意识的需求。

All this you must claim with determined conscious effort which knows that in the conscious demand is the ''I AM Presence" speaking and acting. Therefore, It has all Power and Authority to clothe whatever the demand is with Its kind.

所有的这些你必须坚定且有意识的宣告，这种有意识的要求就是“我是临在”的言语和行动。因此，它拥有将任何需求以其方式实现的全部力量和权威。

In the consciousness that you are the "I AM Presence" acting at all times, you then must know that you are, that moment of recognition, an invincible magnet of attraction—which causes every activity of the Universe to rush to you to fulfill the demand. The only reason it does not seem to be so is because somewhere in your consciousness there is a feeling of uncertainty, either of your ability,  of your  authority, or the  Omnipresence  of  It to act;  but  I assure you, as one having attained and having gone through the complete  process  of  attaining, that  it is a pleasure, the privilege of Myself and Others, to place before you these simple Laws, yet Mighty and Invincible in their activity—which will give you Freedom and Dominion over all the things that seem to be such a mountain of obstruction in your way. As you continue to accept and use these Laws in your activity, you will find that you are attaining Dominion, not only over the one element, but all four elements—earth, water, air, and fire.

当意识到你是时时刻刻在行动的“我是临在”，那么你必须知道，在认知的那一刻，你就是一块不可战胜的吸引力磁铁——它使得宇宙的每一个活动都涌向你来满足你的所需。唯一你能够看起来不是这样的原因是因为你意识里某处有一种不确定感，无论是你的能力，你的权威，或是你无所不在的行动；但我向你保证，作为一个已经获得并经历了完整过程的人，我很高兴，我和其他人有幸向你介绍这些简单但在其活动中强大而不可战胜的法则。这将给你带来自由和统治力，让你可以战胜所有面前的阻碍。当你继续在你的活动中接受和使用这些法则时，你会发现你不仅掌握了一个元素，还掌握了四大元素——地、水、空气和火。

When you have become conscious of the "Flame of your Divinity, "you are acting from the highest of the four elements, which is Fire, and the True Activity of Spirit.

当你意识到“你的神性之火”时，你会从四大元素中最高的元素——火，以及精神的真实活动中进行行动。

As the conscious activity is to the unconscious, so is the Conscious Use of the Flame  to the recognition of the Light. The natural element of your soul is the "Flame," accounting for the ancient Fire and Sun worship. When one becomes conscious that he has, is, can use and direct this Consuming Flame, he has entered into Mighty Power.

有意识的活动对于无意识的活动来说，就像有意识使用火焰跟认知光一样。你灵魂的自然元素是“火焰”，这解释了古代对火和太阳的崇拜。当一个人意识到他拥有、他是、并能使用和引导这燃烧的火焰时，他就进入了强大的力量境界。

When one becomes conscious that he has Dominion over the four elements, he has but to practice its use to become conscious that he may direct the lightning, master the storm, control the waters, and walk in the midst of the fire unharmed. Will you kindly tell Me how any being can have the use of anything until he acknowledges it—and knows that he has the ability to make it his servant in use?

当一个人意识到他拥有对四大元素的掌控力时，他只需练习使用这种力量，就会意识到自己可以指挥闪电，掌控风暴，控制水流，并在火焰中行走而不受伤害。请告诉我，除非他承认它的存在并知道他有能力使其为己所用，一个存有如何能够使用这种能力？

Then by the practice of its use, he becomes absolutely invincible in its direction. I wish so earnestly to make clear to you that you are being given and taught the exact Laws which I used—and which everyone who has attained the Ascended State must use.

透过练习使用这种能力，他在其运用上会变得绝对的不可战胜。我非常希望让你们明确，现在教授给你们的是我所使用的正确法则，每个达到扬升状态的人必须使用的法则。

It is all a matter of use, once you know of these Laws, and that the "I AM Presence" which you are has all Intelligence, Power and Authority to consciously direct the energy through the outer activity of your mind. Then do not fear to use It to heal, to prosper, to bless and to enlighten your fellowman.

一旦你了解这些法则，并且知道你所是的“我是临在”拥有所有的智慧、力量和权威，可以通过你心灵的外在活动有意识地引导能量，那么一切都在于使用这些法则。不要害怕使用它来治愈、使人繁荣、祝福和启发你的同胞。

Erase from your mind forever that there can be any selfishness in your conscious recognition that the "I AM Presence" is directing. It matters not what you require for your attainment, wherein it makes you more able, or of greater ability and power to bless. Then do you not see that there can be no selfishness in the desire for this greater attainment and Perfection? For any individual to feel that he must wait upon the attainment of another is a great mistake. Individuals may attain only through their own conscious effort in this wonderful recognition. No one can grow for another or attain for another, but each may be of immense help to the other by knowing with intensity: " 'I AM' the only Presence and Intelligence acting within that individual" for the one you wish to help. This may be qualified with whatever the person seems to need most.

从你的心中永远抹去在你有意识地承认“我是临在”引导时，可能存在自私的想法。无论你需要什么来实现你的目标，只要祂让你更有能力、更有力量和有能力去祝福他人。难道你没发现，对于追求更大的成就和完美中不可能有任何的自私。对于任何一个人来说，如果他认为他必须等待另一个人获得成，那这就是一个很大的错误。个体只能通过自己在这种美妙认知中的有意识努力来取得成就。没有人能为另一个人成长或取得成就，但每个人可以通过深入的了解：“‘我是’唯一在那个人内行动的临在和智慧”来帮助他人。这可以根据那个人最需要的内容进行修改。

Every individual's first duty is Adoration and Love to the "One Mighty I AM Presence," which is everywhere present.。

每个人首要职责是保持对那无所不在的“伟大的我是临在”的崇拜和爱。

Do you not see how in this, it is a joyous privilege to love your so-called enemy, because: " 'I AM' the only Real Presence and Activity anywhere!" If the ignorance of the outer activity of the mind seems to have created disorder, pain and limitation, then you know that the miscreation has no power of its own.  There is nothing but the wrong belief of the individual to sustain it; consequently, it has no Self-sustaining power.

难道你没有发现，爱所谓的敌人是一种非常令人开心的特权。因为：“‘我是’任何地方唯一的活动和真实的临在！”如果心灵外在活动的无知似乎造成了混乱、痛苦和限制，那么你就知道这些错误的创造并没有自己的力量。只有个人的错误信念在维持它；因此，它没有自我维持的力量。

If you have been unfortunate enough to create inharmony, disorder, limitation, then can you not see that you alone, through the Power of your "I AM Presence," the Consuming Flame, must consciously call on the Law of Forgiveness, consume through that Flame of Life which you are, everything in your world which you have wrongly created?

如果你不幸创造了不和谐、混乱和限制，那么你是否能看到，只有通过“我是临在”的力量和吞噬火焰，你必须有意识地呼请宽恕法则，通过你所是的生命之火吞噬你世界中所有错误的创造物？

This should easily make it clear to you how you set about to cleanse your world of its disorder and its mistaken creation. Then you stand forth, clothed with the Sun, the Light of Eternal Life, Youth, Beauty and Opulence, holding within your hand for instant use the Scepter of Power of the "I AM Presence," which you are.

这应该清楚地向你说明如何开始清理你的世界中混乱和错误的创造。接着你就能站立在阳光下，被永恒生命之光、青春、美丽和丰盛包裹，并且可以随时使用握在手中的“我是临在”之权杖。

It is important to know that this One Mighty Energy does all things according to the quality you give It, or the wish you want fulfilled.

最重要的是要知道，这种伟大的能量会根据你赋予它的注意力的品质或你想要实现的愿望来做所有的事情。

One thing students should be intensely conscious of, and that is: " 'I AM' the Eternal, Harmonizing Presence and Activity everywhere I move, and of everything to which my thought is directed." This, constantly used with the feeling of Its Invincible Power, will keep the atmosphere of your world purified, harmonized, and held in readiness for any conscious direction to go forth with great speed to its accomplishment.

学生们应该要保持高度觉知和意识到的是：“‘我是’无论我走到哪里或我的思想指向哪里的永恒和谐和活动的临在。”不断地以这种不可战胜的力量去感受和使用它，将使你的世界的气氛保持净化、和谐，并随时准备好以极快的速度向前推进，以实现其目标。

When you wish to speak with authority, silently to or of another individual, speak his given name, and you will find the help, the energy sent, much more easily received. It is like calling the attention of a person to whom you wished to speak. Naturally, your first impulse is, if you are going to speak to one of the family, you first say Don, Mary, or Dick, to get his or her attention; and then you proceed to give your message. So it is when directing the energy silently. Within the Inner World, in this recognition and use of the "I AM Presence," knowing that: " 'I AM' everywhere present," you see how you may speak to one across the earth through the "I AM Presence" as readily as though that one stood in the room in your physical presence.

当你希望以权威来默默地对另一个人宣告时，先说出他的名字，你会发现给予的帮助和发送的能量更容易接收。这就像你相遇某人交谈时吸引他的注意力一样。很自然地，你会先叫对方的名字，例如Don、玛丽或迪克，来引起他们的注意，然后你才传达信息。当在内在世界中认出并使用“我是临在”时，知晓“‘我是’随处可见的临在，”你会发现你可以通过“我是临在”与地球另一端的人说话，就像他站在你房间里一样简单。

I warn you, if you attempt to use this Knowledge to harm another, then remember that through your own soul and body will pass the bolt, or your intent to another. Try always to remember that you are not human beings so-called, but you are Gods and Goddesses in embryo—which through the conscious effort you can bring into Full Dominion.

我给予你们警告，如果你用这些知识来伤害其他人。请记住，你的意图会通过你自己的灵魂和身体回击到你身上。始终记住，你们并不是所谓的凡人，而是处于胚胎阶段的神和女神——通过有意识的努力，你们可以完全掌控自己的命运。

I say to you, Beloved Students of Light: Arise! Awaken! to the fullness of your God-Dominion. Fearlessly use the conscious knowledge and direction of this "Mighty I AM Energy" for your freedom, prosperity, blessing and enlightenment. Each of you is a glittering, dazzling Jewel of Light projected into a world of chaos and darkness, that the Radiance of your Light may expand, expand, and again expand, that all darkness of the earth be consumed in this Mighty Radiance of the "I AM Presence," which you are.

我想对你们说，亲爱的光之学生们：起来！觉醒！实现你们神圣统治的全部力量。无所畏惧地使用这种“强大的我是能量”有意识的知识和指导来获得自由、繁荣、祝福和启迪。你们每个人都是投射到混乱和黑暗世界中的闪亮、耀眼的光之宝石，让你们的照耀扩展、扩展，再扩展，以便地球上的所有黑暗都在“我是临在”的强大照耀中被消灭，你们就是这种照耀。

Do not hesitate, Beloved Children! Grasp this Scepter of your Power and Dominion! Use It to heal, to bless, to prosper, to enlighten, and you will find all earthly things bowing before you and rushing to fulfill your slightest demand.

不要犹豫，亲爱的孩子们！抓住这根代表你力量和掌控权的权杖！用它来疗愈、祝福、繁荣和启发，你们会发现所有世俗的事物在你们面前低头并急切地满足你们的任何需求。

Such, Beloved Ones, Beloved Brothers and Sisters, the "One Mighty Presence, which 'I AM,'" is the Conscious Ability I convey to you this day—with its Self-sustaining Strength, Courage, Power and Enlightenment—to go forth, attaining your Freedom now with these Personal Rays which I project to each of you for these two weeks. I assure you, these Rays are no idle fancy, but a tangible Current of Energy containing in It all things, and blessing you according to your acceptance.

亲爱的人们，亲爱的兄弟姐妹们，“我是那强大的临在”是我今天向你们传达的有意识的能力，它带有自我维系的力量、勇气、力量和启发。借助我在这两周内投射给你们个人的光，继续前行并实现你们的自由。我向你们保证，这些光不是虚构的，而是包含一切事物的有形能量流，它会根据你们的接受度祝福你们。

I clothe you in this Mantle of Light—within It is all Power. I hold you close in My Mighty Embrace, and " 'I AM' with you every hour." 

我为你们穿上这件充满了力量的光之斗篷。我在我强大的用保重紧紧抱着你，且“‘我是’每时每刻都与你同在的临在。”

Saint Germain: Again have you been blest by that Electrifying Presence. I need not add to it unless there are questions.

圣哲曼：你们再次受到那令人振奋的临在的祝福。除非有问题，否则我不需要在补充什么。

When you realize that "I AM" is the only Presence, Power, and Ability to think in your brain cells, and you are accepting only the Activity of the "I AM Presence," then you make It the All-Power, fulfilling every outer desire. Therefore if you desire something needful in the outer activity, it is the ''I AM Presence" producing it through your conscious demand—which has nothing to do with so—called human desire.

当你意识到“我是”是脑细胞思考中唯一的临在、力量和能力，并且你只接受“我是临在”的活动时，你就是他成为一切力量，满足每一个外在的愿望。因此，如果你外在活动中需要某些东西，这是“我是临在”透过你有意识的需求产生的，这与所谓的个人欲望无关。

Say often: " 'I AM' always loving obedience unto the Light."

经常说：“‘我是’对圣光有爱的臣服。”

Everything will become more alert, more quickened, and more powerfully protected as you use the "I AM Presence" more and more.

随着你越来越多地使用“我是临在”，一切都会变得更加警觉、更加活跃和更强而有力地受到保护。

The Great Central Sun Magnet: The more one is conscious of this Great Magnet working, the more powerfully It acts in his own sphere.

伟大的中央太阳的磁场：一个人越意识到这个伟大的磁场的运作，它在他自己个人领域中的活动就越强大。

An awakened individual never uses a destructive force. When the Master of Suerne projected the force and the army was killed, he simply projected it for the protection of his people, and the destructive qualities which the others brought with them to slay and kill qualified the force sent out by the Master, and it destroyed those who sent their destructive qualities out. You can see how easily it would do that, when they came to destroy.

一个觉醒的个体永远不会使用破坏性的力量。当苏尔内大师投射出力量并导致军队被消灭时，他只是为了保护她的人民而投射这股力量，而其他人带来的杀戮和毁灭的破坏性投射，为大师投射出来的力量赋予了破坏性，结果摧毁了那些发出破坏性投射的人。你可以看到，当他们进行破坏时，这股力量是多么容易地发挥作用。

Every individual, if he has understanding, has a right to protect himself.  The students should always be taught never to judge the Action of a Greater Intelligence than themselves.

每个有理解力的个体都有权保护自己。学生们应该始终被教导，永远不要评判比他们自己更伟大的智慧的行动。

When phenomenon is produced by an Ascended Master, the Activity so transcends the intelligence witnessing it that it is most difficult for them to be sustained in the acceptance of the actual Truth of  It. It is utterly impossible to satisfy the outer activity of the mind.

当扬升大师产生或创造一个特殊现象时，这种活动超越了目睹者的理解范畴，以至于他们很难持续地接受它的本质。它是绝对不可能满足外在心智活动的。

Projected vision: The etheric record is reclothed in substance. You cannot reclothe a record of scenes except in their own environment. The individual's record goes with him wherever he goes and can be reclothed anywhere he is.

投射视觉：乙太记录被重新套上物质的外衣。除非在它们自己的环境中，否则你无法重新为场景的记录穿上外衣。个人的记录是随身携带的，并且可以在任何地方重新穿上。

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty, Infinite Presence! Thou Wondrous Brother of Light, Wisdom, Love and Power! We give thanks for Thy Radiant Presence, glorifying all who look to Thee, and in that Glorious Presence, we send to all mankind Thy Enfolding Light, lifting them into Thy Presence always.

祝福：祢是伟大、无限的临在！祢是圣光、智慧、爱和力量的神奇的兄弟！我们感谢祢的临在的照耀，并荣耀所有仰望祢的人，在那荣耀的临在中，我们将祢包裹的光撒向全人类，永远将他们提升到你的临在中。
