 我向你们传达伟大圣主的问候，祂服务和监管一切的活动。

THE DISCOURSE

We all rejoice exceedingly in the wondrous, loving presence of the students for the great harmony, joy, and accomplishment that has been attained.

我们都为学生们的奇妙而充满的临在感到高兴，因为你们已经达成了伟大的和谐、喜悦和成就。

How mighty that Miracle Working Presence, "I AM," can and will  manifest  Its Dominion  if such a wonderful  state is maintained;  and I tell you with no uncertainty, it can be maintained, ever growing greater and greater in the comprehension of that God Presence in Its Supreme Power of Divine Love.

如果能够维持这种美妙的状态，那奇迹般的“我是”临在可以并且必将展现其主宰力；我毫不犹豫地告诉你们，这种状态可以被维持，并在对神圣存在的理解中不断增长，越来越强大，体现出其神圣之爱的至高力量。

Every student should remember with definite certainty that in this Quickening Power of the "I AM Presence" within his Being, everything good or otherwise is stirred into action. If there is latent within the consciousness: rebellion, resentment, or the inclination to judge, it means that all this will be stirred and brought to the surface to be consumed; and I tell you with no uncertainty, unless the student consciously consumes that which is brought forth to the surface, it will consume him. If one finds himself becoming irritated, he should seize the reins, and issuing the command through the "I AM Presence," declare that this be governed harmoniously. Here let Me again remind the students that the greatest thing in their progress is Self-correction; and there is no person, place, condition or thing to blame for what they entertain but themselves. This is most imperative for their future progress.

每个学生都应该记得，在他的存在中“我是临在”的加速力量里，一切好的或其他事情都会付诸行动。如果在意识中潜藏着：叛逆、不满或批判的倾向，这意味着所有这些都会被激发并浮现出来以便被消除；我毫不含糊地告诉你们，除非学生有意识地消除那些浮现出来的东西，否则它们将消耗他。如果发现自己变得烦躁、恼怒，就应该抓住缰绳，透过“我是临在”发出命令，宣告要和谐地控制这种情绪。在此，我再次提醒学生们，你们的进步中最重要的事情是自我修正；没有任何人、地方、情况或事物对他人所怀有的情绪负有责任，除了他们自己。这对他们未来的进步至关重要。

These beloved students have arrived at a point where such subtle conditions must be made clear and thoroughly understood; otherwise they will find themselves facing conditions they are unable to govern.

这些亲爱的学生们已经到了必须弄清楚并彻底理解这些微妙情况的地步；否则，他们将发现自己面对无法控制的情况。

I repeat again to the students to be greatly encouraged because of the strides they are making in Self-control, the fuller and fuller acceptance of these Mighty Laws of Life, and their willingness to apply the mighty whip of Self-correction; for I tell you frankly and I speak from experience, that the outer activity which we term the "human" has to be flayed with no uncertainty before it is brought under subjection to the Divine Command.

我再次对学生们表示极大的鼓励，因为他们在自我控制的部分，越来越全面地接受这些强大的生命法则，以及愿意运用自我修正的强大鞭策方面取得了进步；我坦率地告诉你们，根据我的经验来说，所谓的“人类”外在活动必须毫无保留地被鞭策，在它能服从神圣的命令之前。

The reason I gave the use of the Ray or Flame through the hand is because the minds of some are attuning more rapidly than the atomic structure of the body is being raised. This activity of passing the hand over the body will maintain and sustain that equalization of the quickening of the mind and the raising of the atomic structure to its balancing point.

我之所以提出通过手使用光束或火焰，是因为有些人的心智比身体的原子结构提升得更快。这种将手划过身体的活动将维持和保持心智加速与原子结构提升到平衡点。

I am so happy and willing to give every Assistance to the students, as are Others, but there are certain bounds beyond which We may not go because of the Self-conscious advancement of the students which they must do for themselves.

我非常高兴并愿意给予学生们一切帮助，其他人也是如此，但有些界限我们不能跨越因为学生必须为自己做自我意识的进步。

However, every one of them has everything by which to be encouraged; but again let Me urge them that at no time may they divide the attention of the "I AM Presence." To do this means that you are releasing the stream of energy and giving power to outside things and simply delaying your progress.

然而，他们每个人都有一切可以得到鼓励的理由；但让我再次敦促他们，任何时候都不要分散对“我是临在”的注意力。否则这意味着你在释放能量流，并将力量赋予外界事物，从而只是延缓了你的进步。

I speak from experience. It is not possible to divide the attention, for it must all be given to the "I AM Presence" in order to go beyond a certain point of attainment.

我从经验中得知，注意力不可能被分散，因为必须将全部注意力集中在“我是临在”上，才能超越某一个成就点。

I do not wish to bring any shock to the students under this Radiation, but I must speak the Truth, that if those beloved students who have been brought under this Radiation are not able to hold their attention entirely upon the “I AM Presence,” it will close the door to Our Assistance to them for a long time. This need not be done if the students will follow the direction, make the sincere effort every time the attention wanders off, bring it back with firm determination and say: “I give all power to the 'I AM Presence' which 'I AM'; and I refuse with determination acceptance to anything else ever again. ” I wish to prepare the students that there will come the time when they may not be sustained by Our Messengers but must rely on their own ability to hold with such a firm grip upon the “I AM Presence” that they will always receive Its Mighty, Sustaining Power.

我不想为在这种照耀下的学生带来任何冲击，但我必须讲真话，如果那些被带到这种照耀下的学生不能将他们的注意力完全集中在“我是临在”上，这将会长时间关闭我们对他们的帮助之门。如果学生们能遵循指示，每次注意力偏离时都做出真诚的努力，坚定地将其带回，并说：“我将所有力量赋予‘我是存在’，因为‘我是’；我坚决拒绝接受任何其他东西。”我希望学生们做好准备有一天他们可能无法获得我们的信使的支持/帮助，但必须依靠自己牢牢抓住“我是临在”，这样他们将永远获得祂伟大的持续性力量。

It is useless and a mistake for any student after months of Instruction to each day, or every few days, allow himself to be thrown into a sense of depression or doubt of the Inner Power or his ability to apply It. This childish attitude of mind will in time shut the door if it is not discontinued.

任何学生在经过几个月的指导后，学生每天或每隔几天就让自己陷入对内在力量或应用祂的能力感到沮丧或怀疑的能力，都是没用且错误的。这种幼稚的心态，最终会关闭那扇门。

Each student should take his positive stand the moment discord of any kind attempts to enter into the mind, and assert his Dominion by declaring: “ 'I AM' the Almighty Governing Presence of my Life and my world, and 'I AM' the Peace, Harmony and Courage, Self-sustained, which carries me serenely through everything that confronts me.”

每当任何形式的不和谐试图进入心灵时，每个学生都应该立即采取积极的立场，并通过宣告来宣称自己的主权：“‘我是’我生命和世界的全能主宰，‘我是’我携带的和平、和谐和勇气，它使我平静地度过面临的一切。”

It is so important that the students have the benefit of the manuscripts that We must discontinue the Instruction until they are completed, for according to their ability to accept that which is illustrated in the manuscripts will the "Great Judge" determine what shall next be given. We may not under any circumstances take the student beyond the point where he is well fortified.

学生们获得手稿的好处是如此重要，以至于我们必须暂停指导，直到手稿完成为止，因为“伟大的审判者”将根据他们接受手稿中所说明的内容的能力来决定接下来会给予什么。在任何情况下，我们都不能让学生超他的能力范围。

I must say, for the protection of the students, that should certain phenomena manifest about them, to be calm, poised, and unmoved by it at all times and to go serenely along, not allowing their attention to be held by it; for it is not unlikely in this number of students that some may have sufficiently generated energy from past understanding at a certain point to produce certain phenomena. In such a case they should always take the firm stand: " 'I AM' the Governing Presence of this, utilizing it in its highest expression and use."

为了保护学生们，我必须说，如果在他们周围出现某些现象，他们应始终保持冷静、沉着和不受其影响，并平静地前行，不要让注意力被这些现象所吸引；因为在这批学生中，不太可能有一些人在某个阶段通过过去的理解积累了足够的能量来产生某些现象。在这种情况下，他们应始终坚定地宣告：“‘我是’这一切的掌控者，我将充分利用它最高的表达方式和用途。”

You see, in all this amount of Instruction that has been given, it is but a fragment upon which the student must build. The student must always watch for ideas from within himself upon which to build his expansion.

你们看，在所有已给予的指导中，这仅仅是一个片段，学生必须在此基础上继续构建。学生必须始终关注自身内心的想法，以此来扩展自己的成长。

The first premise for every student on earth who wishes to attain permanent achievement is to first remind himself that: "'I AM' the Presence and Intelligent Activity." This is the first principle and in It he can never go astray.

地球上每个希望取得永久成就的学生，首先要提醒自己：“‘我是’临在和智慧的活动。”这是首要原则，在这个原则中他永远不会误入歧途。

I assure the beloved students that they need not crave nor desire phenomena, for the Natural Law of their Beings in their sustained progress will produce abundant phenomenal proof as they are ready for it. In this, mark you, I do not in anywise refer to the appearance of any of the Ascended Ones, for that is an entirely different thing and is really not to be taken as phenomenon of any kind.

我向亲爱的学生们保证，他们不需要渴望或追求现象，因为在他们持续进步的过程中，他们的自然法则会在他们准备好时自然产生丰盛的现象证明。请注意，在这点上，我丝毫不指代任何升天者的出现，因为那是完全不同的事情，实际上不应被视为任何类型的现象。

I watched with great interest the Inner Activity of the students, Tuesday and Wednesday, and it was very gratifying to see the expansion of that Inner Light within them as the Power of Love grew more intense. It should be remembered by the students that when they say "I AM, "they are making the outer activity a Mighty Magnet for the Light to reach and expand. I think it would be very wise for each student to take the attitude at this time, or in the beginning of the use of both the Instruction and the manuscript: " 'Great I AM Presence,' take me within Thyself; there instruct me and cause me to retain the Full Memory of these Inner Instructions."

我非常有兴趣地观察了学生们在周二和周三的内在活动，非常令人欣慰的是看到他们内在之光的扩展以及爱之力量的增强。学生们应当记住，当他们说“我是”时，他们正在使外在活动成为一个强大的磁铁，使光能够到达并扩展。我认为，每个学生在这个时候，采取这样的态度将非常明智，或者在开始使用指令和手稿：“‘伟大的我是临在’将我带入到祢的内部中；在那里指导我，并让我保留这些内在指导的完整记忆。”

As Messengers of the Light, this training is very essential, but the idea should not in anywise cause anxiety-or tension in the desire to retain, because an attitude of that kind might easily close the outer memory of the Inner experience.

作为光的使者，这种训练非常重要，但这种想法不应以任何方式引起焦虑或紧张，因为这种态度很容易关闭外在记忆对内在的体验。

I cannot help but smile to myself at the closeness with which some of the students are coming to most surprising things; but I trust they will always find themselves poised and serene in whatever the experience is, knowing that: " 'I AM' the One, Eternal, Self-sustained Life in action," and to forever remove from their consciousness that there is such a condition as so-called death anywhere in the Universe.

我不禁为一些学生们接近那些最令人惊讶的事物的程度而微笑，但我相信他们无论在什么经历中都能保持镇定和宁静，知晓：“‘我是’合一、永恒、自我维持的生命在行动，”并永远从他们的意识中移除所谓死亡这种情况在宇宙中存在的概念。

The outer activity of the mind and world is a passing maya, shifting as the sands of the desert, and need never cause anyone the slightest concern, for: " 'I AM' the Eternal Life, knowing no beginning and never finding an end."

心灵和世界的外在活动如同沙漠中的流沙，是一种短暂的幻象，不需要引起任何人的丝毫担忧，因为：“‘我是’永恒的生命，无始无终。”

Out of the Heart of that Great Silence comes the Ceaseless, Pouring Stream of Life of which each one is an individualized part. That Life is you, Eternally, Perfectly, Self-sustained, and the garments It clothes Itself with are of but little consideration, until one comes to the point of recognition wherein the attainment has prepared him for the "Seamless Garment," Self-sustained, radiant with every prismatic color.

从那伟大的沉寂之心中涌出的是永不停息的生命之流，每个人都是其中一个个体化的部分。那生命就是你，永恒、完美、自我维持。它为自己穿上的衣服并不重要，直到一个人达到认知的程度，获得了“无缝的衣服”，以自我维持并闪耀着每一种棱镜色彩。

Then may one indeed rejoice in that Eternal Garment that is Ever-Radiant and Changeless, which has removed him from the wheel of cause and effect and has made him a Being of Cause only. That Cause is the Radiance of Divine Love, ever pouring and evolving from Its Conscious, Self-poised, Radiant God Center-the Heart of the "I AM Presence"—which is Eternal Youth and Beauty, the All-knowing Presence, containing in Self-conscious action the past, present and future-which after all, are but the One Eternal Now.

愿人们为那散发照耀和永恒的外衣欢喜鼓舞，这使他脱离了因果之轮，成为一个纯粹的存有。那因果是神圣之爱的照耀，不断从其自觉、自持、照耀的神之中心，即“我是临在”的心中倾洒而出和进化——这是永恒的青春与美丽，全知的临在，在自我意识的行动中包含过去、现在和未来，而这一切不过是一个永恒的现在。

Such is the eternal elimination of all time and space. Then you find your world people with Perfect Beings, your buildings decorated with choicest jewels; you, standing in the center of your creation—the "Jewel in the Heart of the Lotus"—Its petals your Mighty Avenues of Its Perfect Activity.

这就是所有时间和空间永恒的消失，然后你会发现你的世界充满了完美的生命，你的建筑装饰着最精美的珠宝；你会站在创造的中心——在那“莲花之心的宝石”——它的花瓣是你完美活动的强大道路。

Such is a humble picture of that which stands before you, beckoning you into your Perfect, Eternal Home and Radiance.

这是一个谦逊的画面，展现在你面前，召唤你进入你那完美、永恒的家园和照耀。

You see, I feel that Glorious Radiance, and if each one, especially the students, could center themselves in the Presence of Divine Love and hold themselves there firmly, what wonderful experiences would come to them—if they would  shut out the interference  of the outer activity of the mind.

你知道，我感受到了那荣耀的照耀，如果每个人，特别是学生们，能够把自己集中在神圣之爱的临在中，并坚定地保持在那里，他们将会有多么奇妙的体验——只要他们能够排除心灵外在活动的干扰。

For one to take the attitude that: "I AM' the Presence of Divine Love at all times" would do such wonderful things. To use this Statement and feel it would at all times close the door to the outer activities of the mind.

一个人采取这样的态度：“‘我是’神圣大爱的临在”，将会带来美妙的效果。使用这一宣告并感受它，将随时关闭心智外在活动的大门。

The solution of every problem is always right at hand because the "I AM Presence" always holds everything within It.

每个问题的解决方案总是近在咫尺，因为“我是存在”总是掌握着一切。

A demand is the impelling of the solution into expression. "I AM" is the Intelligent, Active Principle within us, the Heart of our Beings, the Heart of the planet and the Heart of the system.

需求是将解决方案推向表达的动力。“我是”是我们内在的智慧、活跃的原则，是我们存在的核心，是地球的核心，也是系统的核心。

I cannot refrain from reminding the students again, for they should always know that whenever you say "I AM," you are releasing the One Almighty, Intelligent Energy, Power and Self-sustained Element. Keep at it, and you will come into a condition so supreme, so wonderful.

我忍不住再次提醒学生们，他们应该始终知道，每当你说“我是”时，你正在释放那唯一的全能、智慧的能量、力量和自我维持的元素。坚持下去，你将进入一种至高无上的、美妙的状态。

When you are looking into the physical sun, you are really looking into the Great Central Sun, the very Heart of the "I AM Presence."

当你注视物质层的太阳时，你实际上是在注视伟大的中央太阳，即“我是存在”的核心。

You must take the unconditional stand with your body that: "The 'I AM Presence' governs this physical body completely and compels it into obedience." The more attention you give your body, the more it is the master, and the more it will demand and keep demanding from you.

你必须对你的身体采取无条件的立场：“‘我是临在’完全支配这个物质身体，并迫使它服从。”你对身体给予的关注越多，它就越是主宰，它会不断地向你提出要求并不断地要求你。

When the physical body is either chronically ill or continually showing disturbance, it proves that it has been given attention over a period of years to one disturbance or another, and it will never improve until one takes the positive attitude and whips it into obedience.

当物质身体长期生病或持续表现出不安时，这表明它多年来一直受到各种不安的关注，除非采取积极的态度并强迫其服从，否则它永远不会好转。

You can positively produce whatever you want in your body if you will fix your attention upon the Perfection of it-but do not let your attention rest on its imperfections.

如果你能将注意力集中在身体的完美上，而不是其缺陷上，你就可以肯定地在身体上创造出你想要的一切。

For the Ascension: " 'I AM' the Commanding Presence." Use this often, for it stills the outer activity so you become centered in the Activity of Love. 

为了扬升：“‘我是’指挥的临在。” 经常使用这个声明，因为它能平息外在活动，使你集中于爱的活动。

The instant you feel something discordant, turn away from it. You have the Scepter of Power in your consciousness—now use it!

当你感到有不和谐的东西，立即转身离开。你在意识中拥有力量的权杖——现在就使用它！

You are to follow Jesus' command: "See no man after the flesh." It means exactly what it says: recognize no human imperfection in thought, feeling, word or deed.

你要遵循耶稣的指令：“不要以外表看人。”这句话的意思非常明确：在思想、情感、言语或行为上都不要承认人的不完美。

A very powerful thing to use in problems is to take the simple consciousness: "God in me, the 'I AM Presence,' come forth! Govern and solve this situation harmoniously." It would do wonders. The whole thing is to instantly draw forth the "I AM Presence" and set It to work.

在面对问题时，一个非常有力的方法是采用简单的意识：“神在我内，‘我是临在’，显化吧！和谐地掌控并解决这个情况。”这将产生奇迹。关键在于立即引出“我是临在”并让它开始工作。

Jesus said: "Ask, and ye shall receive." "Seek, and ye shall find."

耶稣说：“要求，你就会收到。” “寻找，你就会找到。”

"Knock: it shall be opened unto you."

“敲门：祂会为你开门。”

Say to your Divine Self: "See here, God! come forth and take care of this." God wants you to set Him to work. This releases a flood of the God-Energy, Intelligence and Substance which flows forth to do the command.

对你的神圣自我说：“神！看看这儿，然后现身并处理这个。”神希望你让祂开始工作。这会释放出一股神的能量、智慧和物质的洪流，流出并执行命令。

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty, Commanding, "I AM Presence"! assert Thy Dominion within the heart and consciousness of each student! Command the Life Activity to express Its fullness! Set Thyself as a Guard at the door of the mind of each one, so he admits only that which is helpful and harmonious. Bless each one with that power to hold fast and go forth to harmonious attainment. We thank Thee.

祝祷：伟大的、掌握一切的“我是临在”！在每个学生的心中和意识中彰显祢的掌控力！命令生命的活动表达其圆满！设定祢自己为每个人心智之门的守卫，使他只接纳有益和和谐的事物。赐予每个人坚定不移的力量，迈向和谐的成就。我们感谢祢。

NOTES 备注

Cha Ara, his Mother, Nada and Saint Germain were working very intensely on the expanding of the Inner Light within each one who was here.  We wished that the students might see from the Inner standpoint. It would be an experience never to be forgotten.

查阿拉，他的母亲，娜达和圣哲曼正专注在在场的每一个人身上所绽放的内在之光。我们希望学生们能够从内在的角度看到这一点。这将是一次永生难忘的体验。
