DISCOURSE  XXIV

INVOCATION: Thou Infinite, All-Loving Presence! We feel Thy Peace, Thy Love and Thy Wisdom pervading all and it destroyed those who sent their destructive qualities all—everywhere.  Knowing there is but the One Mighty Presence of which we are a part, we know Thou art omnipresent, pouring Thyself forth, filling every need on demand, lifting the consciousness of mankind unto Thee, and holding it anchored there until the "Light of Eternal Life" fills all Beings with Its Radiance, carrying them forward with that Inner Impulse to eternal, permanent recognition of the "Great I AM."

祈请：祢无限，大爱的临在！我们感受到祢的祥和、祢的爱和祢的智慧充满着一切，并消灭那些传播破坏性品质的人。知晓只有一个强大的临在，而我们是其中一部分，我们知晓祢是无所不在且倾注祢自己来满足所有的需求，提升人类的意识到你那里，并将其锚定在那里，知道“永恒的光”以其照耀充满所有生命，让他们推进到对“伟大的我是”的永恒及永久的认知。

I bring you Greetings from the Great Ascended Host and especially from Nada, Cha Ara, Chan, and Diana, Goddess of Fire.

我为你带来伟大扬升之主的问候，特别是来自娜达、查阿拉、查恩和火神黛安娜的问候。

THE DISCOURSE

As the consciousness of the students is raised into the activity of the higher, or Fire Element, everything in their Beings begins to act  with an  intensity that many times they do not understand; and as they begin to work more from the Fire Element standpoint, the more necessary it is to keep up the guard.

当学生们的意识被提升到更高层次或火元素的活动中时，他们的存在中的一切都开始以一种他们很多时候无法理解的强度运作；而随着他们更多地从火元素的角度开始工作，保持觉察/觉知就变得更加必要。

The training which We are endeavoring to give forth to bless,  protect and enlighten the students is to train one's self to be on guard at all times; and while all should understand and with every effort use the "I AM Presence" to maintain Self-control, yet if something happens unexpectedly, to stand serene in spite of it.

我们能力给予学生的训练是为了祝福、保护和启发他们，目的是训练学生时刻保持觉知；虽然所有人都应该理解并尽一切努力使用“我是临在”来保持自我控制，假设发生了意外，仍然要保持平静。

Use the Statement frequently: " 'I AM the Presence' on guard."

经常使用以下宣告：“‘我是’保持觉知的临在。”

If something unexpected happens, just say: "We will dismiss this," and go on in that joyous happiness. Try not to have any feeling, but to know: " 'I AM the Mighty Presence' governing everyone's activity."

如果发生意的情况，只需说：“我们会忽略这件事，”然后继续保持那种愉快的幸福感。尽可能不要有任何情绪，但要知晓：“‘我是强大的临在’掌握着每个人的活动。”

Whenever there is a Center of Light of the Intensity of this focus, there is always the disturbing element that would seek to enter through someone. If you are working about the house, keep using:" 'I AM' proof against any sudden disturbance." This sets up a certain armor that will keep the atmosphere harmonized.

每当有一个具有如此强烈聚焦的光点，总会有扰乱的因素试图通过某人进入。如果你在家中工作，请持续使用：“‘我是’抵御任何干扰的保障。”这会建立一个护盾，使气氛保持和谐。

Use often: " 'I AM the Presence' which nothing can disturb."

经常使用：“‘我是’无法被打扰的临在。”

Always hold yourselves in a joyous, calm attitude, regardless of anything that takes place.

无论发生什么事，始终保持一种快乐和平静的态度。

For one you wish to help, say: "Here pal, through the 'I AM Presence,' we give you the strength to control that."

对于你想要帮助的人说：“这里，朋友，透过‘我是’临在，我们给你能够控制它的力量。”

The very marvelous manner and radiation of your two classes this week was the most remarkable thing  I have ever seen in classes of students. The great Love and Harmony within the hearts of these students, maintained a sufficient length of time, makes almost anything possible. It is a rare thing. Here are three classes in which the same Love and Harmony is maintained.

本周你们两节课的奇妙表现和照耀是我在过去课堂上见过的最了不起的事情。这些学生内心的伟大之爱与和谐，持续足够长的时间，几乎使所有事情都变得可能。这是一件罕见的事情，有人在三节课中都保持着同样的爱与和谐。

Do you feel the Great Wave of Peace and Joy that came like a breath of a spring morning? I will explain, so you may see how far-reaching is that wonderful, Loving Care.

你是否感受到那如同春日晨风般袭来的巨大和平与喜悦之浪潮？我会解释，这样你就能明白那奇妙的、充满爱的关怀是多么深远。

The Great Master whom Jesus contacted and who enabled Him to gain the Victory is the same One who was My Teacher, and It was His Radiation which came just now. He wishes Me to tell you that: "As you pass along the Pathway of Light, you will find the easiest way to overcome disturbance is to turn away from a thing-and forget it." You may have this Master's Name later.

耶稣接触到并帮助祂获得胜利的伟大导师与我的老师是同一个人，刚才就是祂的照耀能量传来。祂希望我告诉你们：“当你们沿着光明之路前行时，你们会发现克服干扰的最简单方法就是转身离开并忘记它。”稍后你们会知道这位导师的名字。

To wrong activities say: "That is not correct," and then quickly pass it off.  This avoids a disturbance which builds.

对错误的活动说：“这是个错误，”任何迅速地略过。这可以避免产生的干扰。

As we reach into the Light, we are one Great Family. Knowing that there is but the "One Great I AM Presence" everywhere, you, being the individualization of That, there can only be the one Great Family, Children of the One God.

当我们进入圣光中，我们就是一个伟大的家庭。知晓到处都是“一个伟大的我是临在”，而你是那个临在的个体化，那只能有一个伟大的家庭，唯一的神的孩子。

In the very first place, let this be understood: if a worthy individual is critical, say with very definite certainty: "There is no one who wishes to intrude this upon your free will. We do not mind sincere questioning, but we do not tolerate criticism nor argument."

首先，让我们理解这点：如果一个值得尊敬的人提出批评：“没有人愿意干涉你的自由意志。我们不介意真诚的提问，但我们不容忍批评或争论。”

The Messenger must refuse acceptance to the discordant things by pouring out the Love Element, so the discord may be consumed. The Messenger must be fortified or else the work is left half undone. No class or work of the Messenger can be sustained if the Messenger allows argument or discordant feeling to generate.

使者必须通过倾注爱的元素来拒绝接受不和谐的事物，以便消除不和谐。使者必须得到强化，否则工作就会半途而废。如果使者允许争论或不和谐的情感产生，那么任何课程或工作都无法持续。

It is very difficult for the average individual to understand that the quickest way to stop any kind of disturbance is to stop discussing It.

一般人很难理解停止任何干扰的最快方法就是停止讨论它。

The thing in your own aura is the only thing that needs attention. The thing recorded in your atmosphere can only come through your feeling.

自己气场里的东西才是自己唯一要注意的地方。你气场中所记录的东西只能透过你的感觉来传递。

The spoken word, unless there is a sense of condemnation or anger back of it, will not record inharmony on your Inner atmosphere.

换句话说，如果背后有一种谴责或愤怒的感觉，否则不会在你的内在气场中记录不和谐。

Of the two undesirable conditions, it is far better that one explode and get a thing off his mind  than to hold the feeling within of resentment, or of being hurt, for that is what registers on your Inner Atmosphere. From My standpoint, I see what is registering in your feelings, and therefore on the Inner Atmosphere.

在这两种不良情况中，发泄出来、把事情说清楚，比把怨恨或受伤的感觉压在心里要好得多，因为那才是记录在你内在气场中的东西。从我的角度来看，我看到的正是你情感中记录的内容，也就是在你的内在气场中记录的东西。

You know how a carbuncle forms. Well! Let me tell you that in your mental world exactly the same thing takes place as the physical carbuncle expresses on the physical body.

你知道疼痛是如何形成的。那么，让我来告诉你，在你的心智世界中，发生的事情和物质身体疼痛的表现是一样的.

It is most important to do something to keep yourselves from harboring a feeling against persons, places, things or conditions, for these build and record on the Inner Atmosphere.

最重要的是采取一些措施，不要对人、地点、事物或环境怀有负面情绪，因为这些情绪会积累并记录在内在气场中。

If the desire comes:. "I wish so and so would do this or that," check it immediately and say: "There is only God in action there."

如果产生了欲望：“我希望某某会做这个或那个，”立即制止它并说：“只有神在那儿行动。”

When a feeling is registered in your atmosphere, it is anchored there until you dissolve or consume it. It is always the feeling that makes the Inner record. There is no use consuming a thing if you do not break the habit of generating the cause. One can easily conquer this by saying:" 'I AM' in command here."

当一种感觉在你的气场中记录下来时，它会被锚定在那里，直到你将其溶解或消除。内在记录的始终是感觉。如果你不打破产生这种原因的习惯，那么消除任何东西都是没有用的。你可以通过宣告：“‘我是’掌控这里”，来轻松地战胜这一点。

Do not let your feelings run rampant.

不要让你的情绪肆意蔓延。

Many times, individuals are brought together for the sole purpose of compelling them to correct these subtle activities which most people pay no attention to whatsoever. This is a matter of stilling the outer in order that the Truth may be received. This is so vital in the individual's Self-correction.

很多时候，个人被聚集在一起的唯一目的是迫使他们纠正这些大多数人完全不注意的微妙行为。这是让外在平静下来一边接受真理的问题，这对个人的自我纠正至关重要的。

As you rise in consciousness, the energy is waiting like an avalanche for expression; and if the energy is not controlled, it will rush in and cause you to do things that you would not have done for the world. Whatever energy is given into your use is to be sent out harmoniously.That is the Natural Law of your Being.

当你的意识提升时，能量就像雪崩一样等待着表达；如果能量不受控制，它会冲进来让你做出一些你本不会做的事情。任何赋予你使用的能量都应和谐地释放出去。这是你存在的自然法则。

If one does not understand that he is to govern the energy flowing through him and he contacts a discordant element, the energy flowing through becomes qualified by that discord, and he should immediately either check it or requalify it with Love. In my experience, if I met a discordant element, I simply said: "Here! I shut my door—you stay out."

如果一个人不明白他应该控制流经他身体的能量，并且他接触到了不和谐的元素，那么流经他的能量会被那种不和谐所影响，他应该立即制止它或用爱重新调整它。在我的经验中，如果我遇到不和谐的元素，我会简单地说：“听着！我关上我的门——你走开。”

The Universal energy flowing through you is naturally harmonious. Shut your door and then figure out who's the matter.

流经你的宇宙能量是自然且和谐的。关上你的大门，然后弄清楚是谁出了问题。

People resist persons, places, conditions and things because they have not mastered themselves. The students must maintain this Self-governed harmony within themselves long enough to let the momentum be created-which becomes the permanent guard.

人们抗拒他人、地方、条件和事物，因为他们尚未掌握自我。学生们必须在自己内在维持这种自我控制的和谐足够长的时间，以便让这种动力得以形成，并成为永久的防护。

If one will maintain harmony within himself, I tell you, he will draw all good things unto him. The unfailing prompter is that the moment one expresses some kind of discord, he is to realize that he is the one to blame. There needs to be no written thing to warn anyone.

如果一个人能在自己内在保持和谐，我告诉你，他将会吸引所有美好的事物到他身边。无可否认的是当一个人表现出某种不和谐时，他需要意识到责任在于自己。不需要任何书面警告来提醒任何人。

The moment there is something discordant, it is the prompter warning you to get busy on yourself. Each individual is his own guard and prompter at all times. There is only One Power in the world that can correct anything, and that is the "I AM Presence" in each one. If you refuse to recognize that you are the creators of your own disturbance, how can you ever correct it or be free from it?

一旦出现不和谐的情况，那就是提示你要忙于自我调整的警示。每个人在任何时候都是自己的守卫和提醒者。世上唯一能够纠正任何事情的力量，就是每个人内在的“我是临在”。如果你拒绝承认自己是制造不和谐的原因，那你又怎么能纠正它或从中解脱出来呢？

There is no person, place, condition or thing that warrants your ever being disturbed, with the ever present "I AM Presence" beating your hearts each moment and Who is ever All-powerful.

没有任何人、地点、条件或事物值得让你感到不安，因为那永在的“我是临在”每时每刻在跳动你的心脏，祂始终是全能的。

If one will correct himself on these discordant feelings, he will let the "Great I AM Presence" flood his world with all Perfection. If the individual will not correct himself, how can he ever gain the Eternal Victory?

如果一个人能纠正自己的这些不和谐的感觉，他将让“伟大的我是临在”用完美充满他的世界。如果个人不纠正自己，他又怎能获得永恒的胜利呢？

The "I AM Presence" is the All-power of the Universe to make this correction. Let the "I AM Presence" flow until It washes everything clean.

“我是临在”是宇宙中拥有全能力量来进行这种纠正的力量。让“我是临在”流动，直到它将一切洗净。

When your attention is fixed firmly upon the "I AM Presence," which you are, it is as though your body were a fine sponge through which this Pure Energy is pouring, cleansing it of all imperfection.

当你的注意力牢牢集中在“我是临在”上，也就是你自己，就好像你的身体是一块精致的海绵，这股纯净的能量通过它倾泻而下，清洗所有的不完美。

If you will stop the discord, the "Stream of the 'I AM Presence' "automatically cleanses away all impurities. You thus have an Unlimited Power in your hands to intensify your right commands.

如果你能停止不和谐，“我是临在之流”就会自动清除所有的杂质。如此一来，你手中就拥有了无限的力量来强化你的正当命令。

Even from the scientific standpoint, knowing that the cells of the body are renewed in less than a year, if the discord could be shut off for one year, the mind and form would expr Eternal Youth and Perfection.

即使从科学的角度来看，我们知道身体的细胞在不到一年内更新一次，如果能够在一年内消除不和谐，心智和形体就会展现出永恒的青春和完美。

Either from a sense of false pride or something, humanity will not face the Truth that the cause is within themselves. The habit of always blaming the other fellow for what has happened to you is the thing that blinds you to the Truth and prevents Self-correction.

无论是出于虚假的自尊还是其他原因，人类不愿面对真相，即原因在他们自己内部。总是为了所发生的事情，而习惯性地责怪他人会使你看不到真相，并阻碍自我纠正。

A wonderful illustration of this is in the beautiful child-form. Until the child is old enough to begin to register the discord about it, its body is beautiful and expresses Perfection. This Perfection of form would always be maintained if there did not enter into the consciousness of the child the discord of the outer world. There are those who would say to me, "What about the child that is born sickly and disturbed?" In most cases, that is a condition brought over from the preceding embodiment, or in rare cases, where there is intense discord between the parents, this may be intense enough to register upon the child; but if you will notice in cases of that kind,  as the child  begins to grow and develop, it will show less and less of that disturbance. That is absolute proof the discord was not of its own creation, but was imposed upon it by the parents, because  the soul was strong enough to rise out of it.

一个很好的例子就是美丽的儿童形态。在小孩成长到开始感受到周围的不和谐之前，他的身体都是美丽且表现完美。如果没有外在世界的不和谐进入孩子的意识，这种形式的完美将永远保持下去。有人会问：“生下来就体弱多病的孩子呢？” 在大多数情况下，这是前一个生命中带来的条件，或者在罕见情况下，父母之间存在强烈的不和谐，这种不和谐可能足够强烈，以至于影响到孩子；但如果你注意这种情况，当孩子开始长大和发育时，它会越来越少地表现出那种干扰。这绝对证明了不和谐不是他自己创造的，而是被父母强加给他的，因为灵魂足够强大，能够从中走出来。

In this particular point, one should understand the amazing conditions of suggestion by which individuals are constantly surrounded.

在这一点上，人们应该理解个体不断被令人惊奇的暗示条件环绕。

For instance, let us take the environment and association of individuals who have been in the habit of going together.  In that friendly association, each one is susceptible to the suggestion from the other. If it be discordant, then that association will be broken up sooner or later by one grand row. However, seventy-five per cent of the individuals moving about in the outer world are not aware that they are taking on suggestion-either from association,  environment, or conditions out-pictured before them.

例如，让我们来看那些习惯于跟个体一起互动交流的个体的环境下。在那种友好的交往中，每个人都容易受到对方暗示的影响。如果这种交往是不和谐的，那么迟早会因一次大的争吵而破裂。然而，在外界活动的个体中，有七十五个百分点没有意识到他们在从互动、环境或呈现在他们面前的条件中接受暗示。

The correct attitude of the student who becomes aware of his "I AM Presence" is immediately to take the firm stand that: " 'I AM' invincibly protected against any imperfect suggestion. "Thus one can build about himself an atmosphere which will immediately repel all suggestions that seek to intrude wherein there is a destructive element.

意识到“我是临在”的学生应采取的正确态度是立即坚定地表示：“‘我是’无敌地受到保护，免受任何不完美的暗示/建议的影响。” 这样一来，一个人就可以在自己周围建立一种氛围，并立即排斥所有带有破坏性元素的暗示/建议。

I think it necessary to call your attention to your old copy books which said: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." There is no way to gain Victory and Dominion over limitation except to keep at it until you accomplish it. If you question your accomplishment, you are postponing your Victory that much longer.

我认为有必要提醒你，注意你们以前的练习本上写的：“如果一开始没有成功，那就再试，再试一次。” 除了坚持下去直到完成之外，没有其他方法能够获得对限制的胜利和支配。如果你质疑自己的成就，你就会延迟你的胜利的到来。

Those students who really begin to understand that in the recognition and use of their "I AM Presence" they have the Universal Power at their command, then they know it is impossible to fail in their application, because the more they use It, the more of Its sustaining Power they have.

那些真正开始理解，在承认和使用“我是临在”时，他们拥有可掌握的宇宙力量，然后他们知道他们的应用不可能失败，因为他们越使用它，就会拥有越多它维持的力量。

Every time you feel a Christ Manifestation, say: "I praise Thee and accept the Light of Thy Presence, the 'Full I AM Activity.' "Take this attitude always, and then you shut the door to any undesirable creation from those who have passed on.

每次你感受到耶稣的显化时，说：“我赞美并接受祢临在的照耀，祢是完整的我是临在的活动。” 始终保持这种态度，这样你就可以关闭过去人们创造的任何不和谐的大门。

Always remember that you are the Master of what shall come into your thought world, and unless you realize that you  are the Master,  you  are susceptible to all kinds of thoughts and feelings.

永远记住，你是决定什么东西能够进入你思想世界的主宰，除非你意识到自己是主宰，否则你会容易受到各种思想和情感的影响。

For others, know: "'I AM' the Presence taking....... into........ accomplishment."

对于他人，知晓：“‘我是’临在，正在把...(什么)...带入到...(什么)...的成就。”

If you give attention to a condition of disturbance, you are giving power to something else but your 'I AM Presence."

如果你将注意力放在干扰的状态上，你就在赋予某种的东西力量，而不是你的“我是临在”。

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty, Infinite "I AM Presence"! We rejoice in Thy Ceaseless Outpouring, Thy Enfolding Presence, protecting and governing the Life of these beloved students. Help them to enter into the Fullness of Thy Presence with no uncertainty, that they may bless mankind wherever they may be or go.
