BELOVED SAINT GERMAIN'S CHRISTMAS DAY DISCOURSE

SAINT GERMAIN

It is with Great Joy that We are observant of the tremendous accomplishment individually, nationally and Cosmically Speaking:  for when we have the use of and can cooperate with those Great and Mighty Cosmic Currents of Energy directed by that Great, Wise Intelligence, then we know that every step moved forward brings us nearer and nearer to that Mighty Glory and Freedom which many are learning to feel and rejoice in.

我们非常高兴地看到，从个人、国家和宇宙的角度来说，我们取得了巨大的成就：当我们能够运用并与那些由伟大的智慧所引导的强大宇宙能量流合作时，我们会知道，每一步的前进都让我们离那伟大的荣耀和自由更近，而许多人正在学会感受并为之欢欣鼓舞。

How different all activities are when working in conjunction with that Great, Cosmic Wisdom which is no longer compelled to withhold Its Mighty Energy because of the free will of the individual; for now the Cosmic Activities of the nations are of first consideration; then comes the individual.

当与那伟大的宇宙智慧合作时，所有的活动都变得不同了，这种智慧不再被迫因个人的自由意志而保留其强大的能量；因为现在，宇宙的活动以国家为首要考虑，其次才是个人。

Therefore, because of the individual, certain Cosmic Activities had to wait. Now the Great Cosmic Wheel has turned, bringing all national, emotional and mental activities into that Great Preparation where every cog of the wheel must fit into the Cosmic Reality.

因此，由于个人的原因，某些宇宙活动不得不等等。现在，伟大的宇宙之轮已经转动，将所有国家、情感和精神活动带入那伟大的准备阶段，每一个齿轮都必须契合宇宙的现实。

The free will of the individual still binds and limits the outer sufficiently, so there will be many individuals and conditions in which it will be as though they were being run through great rollers in which all undesirable qualities are pressed out, and by the power of the Consciously Directed Flame, are consumed.

个人的自由意志仍然足以束缚和限制外部，以至于许多个人和情况会像是被通过巨大的滚筒一样，所有不良的品质都被压榨出来，并通过有意识地引导吞噬火焰的力量来消灭。

The Mighty Radiance, consciously directed by the Great Host of Ascended Masters from the Great Central Sun, is not only having tremendous effect on the minds and feelings of mankind on the surface of the earth, but far within the crust of the earth itself. Hence it has been possible to avert many great disasters.

由伟大的天扬升师从伟大的中央太阳有意识地引导的强大照耀，不仅对地球表面人类的思想和感情产生了巨大的影响，而且深远地影响了地球的地壳内部。因此，许多重大灾难得以避免。

Here I want to say in Great Love, Gratitude and Blessing to the hundreds of students who have been projecting the Mighty Love, Wisdom and Power of the "Mighty I AM Presence" into the mental and emotional world, and assure them that a gigantic work has been accomplished; for if mankind and the beloved students can once understand that all cause rests within the mental and emotional worlds, then they will have reached a point of understanding where in they know with complete assurance that the outer activity of mankind must and will come into Perfect Order when the only cause—the mental and emotional activities—are corrected and held in subjection.

在此，我要向成百上千的学生表达伟大的爱、感激和祝福，他们一直在将“强大的‘我是’临在”强大的爱、智慧和力量投射到心智和情感世界中，并向他们保证，已经完成了一项巨大的工作；因为如果人类和亲爱的学生们能够理解所有的原因都存在于心智和情感世界中，那么他们将达到一种理解的境界，他们完全有把握知道，当人类的外在活动必定会进入完美的秩序时。唯一的原因是心智和情感活动要得到纠正并被控制。

This is how so much has been accomplished, even since last June. Here I want to assure those who have had some questioning in their minds, "Was it really true that great devastation had been averted?" that one day they will see and know the Truth of which I have spoken.

这就是为什么自去年六月以来已经完成了如此多工作的原因。在此，我要向那些心中有些疑问的人们保证：“真的避免了巨大的破坏吗？”有一天他们将看到并了解我所说的真相。

Since three hundred years after Jesus' ministry, mankind steadily and surely drifted back into dealing with effects instead of causes, and that is why no permanent assistance has been possible to be given. Now with the Assistance that the turn of the Cosmic Wheel permits, it is possible to bring the consciousness of mankind back into dealing with the cause—and the effect, if out of order, must disappear.

自耶稣传道后三百年以来，人类逐渐且坚定地重新回到处理结果而非原因上，这就是为什么没有可能提供持久的帮助的原因。现在，随着宇宙之轮转动所允许的帮助，可能将人类的意识重新带回处理起因上——而如果结果失控，必定会消失。

This is why the knowing of the "Mighty I AM Presence," Its Powers and Where abouts, is bringing the students to deal only with that One and Mighty Presence, whose Cause is Full Perfection, as hundreds of these students are proving for themselves. When their attention is fixed upon the "Mighty I AM Presence," they are dealing with the One and Mightiest Cause, whose One and Only Expression is Perfection. Therefore, their worlds first become filled with ease and rest, and through that, they begin to feel the Glory of this Mighty Presence. As they begin to feel It, they realize that they can reach forth to this "Mighty Presence" consciously and release such a Mighty Avalanche of Its Mighty Energy that the human does not even have time to requalify but a fragmentary part with its limitations and inharmonies. Therefore, the strength which is required to give the Eternal Proof to the individual is sustained. Thus, through the individual's own Self Conscious effort, comes the greater and greater recognition of the possibilities within his conscious grasp. Mark you, I say, conscious grasp, for it is only through first, conscious acknowledgment; second, acceptance; and third, application, or in other words, consciously directing this Mighty Intelligence and Pure Energy, that the outer, or human, is kept dissolved enough for the outer to truly grasp these Mighty Activities.

这就是为什么了解“强大的我是临在”、它的力量和所在之处，会让学生只与那个唯一的强大的存在打交道，它的原因是完全完美，正如数百名学生自己所证明的那样。当他们的注意力集中在“强大的我是临在”上时，他们正在与最强大的原因打交道，其唯一的表达就是完美。因此，他们的世界首先变得轻松和安宁，通过这种方式，他们开始感受到这个强大存在的荣耀。当他们开始感受到它时，他们意识到他们可以有意识地接触到这个“强大的临在”，并释放出宛如雪崩般的强大能量，以至于人类甚至没有时间重新适应，而只是带着局限性和不和谐的碎片。因此，给予个人永恒证明所需的力量是持续的。因此，通过个人的自我意识努力，他对自己有意识掌握的可能性的认识会越来越强。请注意，我说的是有意识的掌握，因为只有通过第一、有意识的承认；第二、接受；第三、应用，或者换句话说，有意识地引导这种强大的智慧和纯能量，外部或人类才能保持足够的溶解，使外部真正掌握这些强大的活动。

Oh, the pity mankind has believed so long, and many individuals very sincerely, that they could cure hate, condemnation and criticism with those same qualities. How futile and tragic has been this false concept. Believe Me, O Children of the Light! Hate never cured hate and never will. Condemnation and criticism never cured their kind, for as We have so often said to you: that which your attention and vision is held upon, you are qualifying and compelling to come into your world abide and act there.

啊，可惜人类长期以来一直相信，许多人甚至真诚地相信，他们可以用同样的品质治愈仇恨、谴责和批评。这种错误的概念是多么徒劳和悲惨。相信我吧，圣光之子们！仇恨从来都不能治愈仇恨，也永远不会。谴责和批评从来都不能治愈他们，因为正如我们经常对你们说的那样：你们的注意力和视野所关注的，正是你们有资格和吸引力来到你们的世界，在那里居住和行动。

With all We have said and given forth, so little has been grasped of how much the personality is constantly qualifying the very atmosphere and conditions about it with the things it does not want, through the belief that it can continue to have any kind of feeling and speak words of discord, hate and limitation, and still be unaffected by it. This stubborn, false concept of mankind has filled the world with all kinds of tragedy.

尽管我们已经说过很多次，但人们却很少意识到，人格在多大程度上不断地用它不想要的东西来修饰周围的环境和条件，因为它相信自己可以继续拥有任何一种感觉，说出不和谐、仇恨和局限的话语，却仍然不受其影响。这种顽固而错误的人类观念让世界充满了各种悲剧。

Now this Mighty, Eternal Light is being released to show mankind why the outer world has been so filled with tragedy. If I were to show you for one half hour how much selfishness has been removed from the mental and feeling world of humanity since these Classes of the "I AM" began, you would scarcely believe that so much accomplishment in so short a time could have been possible. It could not and would not have been possible, except for this Mighty, Eternal Radiation of Light from the Great Host of Ascended Masters, from the Great Central Sun, the Masters from Venus, the Silent Watcher, Cyclopea, and the Mighty Gods of the Mountains.

现在，这股强大而永恒的圣光正在被释放，向人类展示为什么外部世界充满了悲剧。如果我用半个小时向你们展示自从“我是”的这些课程开始以来，人类的精神和情感世界中有多少自私被消除，你们几乎不会相信在如此短的时间内能够取得如此多的成就。如果没有这股强大而永恒的圣光，这一切都不可能实现，这股圣光来自伟大的扬升大师、来自大中央太阳、来自金星的大师、沉默的守望者、独眼巨人和山中的强大神灵。

All this is making possible the achievement for which the Legion of Light and the Great White Brotherhood have labored for centuries. For over fourteen thousand years, this Work has continued without cessation, the Great Ascended Ones seeing the Victory from the beginning; but oh! the Infinite Patience, to wait upon the waywardness of mankind, century after century. Yet was there no single thought of impatience, or: "Why does not humanity change?" It is only within the compass of human thought and feeling that judgment and impatience enter in.

这一切都使光明势力和伟大的白光兄弟会几个世纪以来的努力得以实现。一万四千多年来，这项工作从未停止，伟大的扬升大师从一开始就看到了胜利；但是，哦！透过无限的耐心，一个世纪又一个世纪地等待着人类的任性。然而，没有一丝不耐烦的想法，或者说：“为什么人类不改变？”只有在人类思想和情感的范围内，判断和不耐烦才会出现。

Not for seven thousand years has there been such rejoicing at the Inner Octaves of Activity for mankind as comes with the ushering in of 1935. While it is true there will be some great extremes in both constructive and destructive activity, yet the forward impulse is so great that many of the destructive things will pass with much less notice than otherwise would have been.

七千年来，人类从未像 1935 年那样为内部活动的和谐而欢欣鼓舞。虽然建设性和破坏性活动中都会出现一些极端的情况，但前进的动力是如此之大，以至于许多破坏性的事情将会以比原本更不引人注意的方式过去。

As more and more of the students of the “Mighty I AM Presence” realize that their thought and feeling are the only causes in their worlds, and that it is entirely within their province—within their ability and dominion—to govern their thought and feeling, then they will know that to govern these harmoniously, sustaining this activity, will fill their worlds with Eternal Perfection. This day, when the great feeling and thought are fixed upon the Christ Activity, it has made possible as never before the filling of the mind and feeling world of mankind with this “Mighty Cosmic Christ Presence.”

随着越来越多的“强大的我是临在”的学生认识到，他们的思想和感觉是他们世界的唯一原因，而控制他们的思想和感觉完全在他们的权限范围内——在他们的能力和统治范围内——那么他们就会知道，和谐地控制这些，维持这种活动，将使他们的世界充满永恒的完美。今天，当伟大的感情和思想集中在基督活动上时，它使人类的思想和感觉世界充满这种“强大的宇宙基督存在”成为可能，这是前所未有的。

Thus can you understand how great Our Happiness is on this Christmas Day to see the Goal of the Freedom of mankind in sight. Once they learn to withhold all power they have given the screaming human appearances, then individuals will see how quickly those appearances will disappear; for no kind of discord nor human limitation can be sustained unless by the thought and feeling of individuals.

因此，你可以理解，在这个圣诞节，我们是多么的快乐，因为人类自由的目标已经在望。一旦人们学会不再将力量赋予那些叫嚣的表象，他们就会看到这些表象会多么迅速地消失；因为任何形式的不和谐或人类的限制，若没有个体的思想和情感支撑，是无法持续的。

Therefore, O Beloved Students of Light! to every discordant, limiting appearance, say: "Get thee hence, thou powerless human creation! I know thee not! My world is filled only with the Mighty Perfection of my 'Mighty I AM Presence.' I take away from you, foolish appearance, all power to harm or disturb. I walk henceforth in the Light of the 'Mighty I AM Presence' in which there is no shadow, and I am free, forever free."

亲爱的光之学生们！对于一切不和谐、限制性的实相，宣告：“退去吧，毫无力量的人类造物！我不认识你！我的世界只充满了‘伟大的我是临在’的强大完美。我从你这里拿走一切伤害或扰乱的力量。从此，我行走在‘伟大的我是临在’的光中，在那里没有阴影，我是自由的，永远自由。”

I say to you, O Beloved Students! Do not fail to charge your mind, body, home, world and activity with the Mighty Love, Perfection and Intelligent Activity of your "Mighty I AM Presence."

我对你们说，亲爱的学生们！不要忘记用你们的“伟大的我是临在”的强大爱、完美和智能活动来充满你们的心灵、身体、家庭、世界和活动。

Send forth through conscious projection, like the belching forth of a great cannon, the Mighty Violet Consuming Flame, consuming everything undesirable and imperfect in your world of activity. Consciously qualify this with the "Full Power of Divine Love in Action. "Then see and feel what great beauty, happiness and Perfection you will experience as you move forward.

通过有意识的投射，像一门大炮的喷射一样，发出强大的紫罗兰火焰，吞食你们活动世界中的一切不理想和不完美。以“神圣之爱的全能在行动”来有意识地赋予它力量。然后，看见并感受你将会体验到的多么伟大的美丽、幸福和完美，随着你前行。

I urge the students, with all the earnestness of My Being, to constantly charge everything within the activity of their thought and feeling with Love, Opulence and Perfect Achievement.

我以我存在的全部真诚敦促学生们，不断用爱、丰盛和完美成就来充满他们思想和感受的每一个活动。

Do this qualifying with dynamic energy! Put great feeling and sureness back of it, and you will find such changes taking place in your world of activity and environment as almost to compare with the rubbing of "Aladdin's Lamp."

带着强大的能量来完成这个任务！在其背后注入巨大的感受和确定性，你会发现你的活动世界和环境发生了如此大的变化，几乎可以与“阿拉丁神灯”的奇迹相比。

I say to you beloved students, with all the Love of My Heart: Use! Use! Use! this Mighty Application to your Freedom.

我以我心中的全部爱对你们这些亲爱的学生们说：使用！使用！使用！这个强大的应用来获得你们的自由。

When you call the Mighty "I AM Presence" into action, into your Life, environment and activity, all struggle ceases.  The undesirable moves out and the "I AM Presence" moves in; and you find that you have truly entered into a new world, filled with the Happiness and Perfection you have always known existed somewhere within your own heart.

当你呼唤伟大的“我是临在”进入你的生命、环境和活动时，所有的挣扎都会停止。那些不理想的东西会被移除，而“我是临在”会进入；你会发现你真的进入了一个新的世界，这个世界充满了你一直知道存在于你心中的幸福与完美。

Beloved Ones, no matter how humble your present position seems to be, by calling your "I AM Presence" into action, you can transform everything within your world and fill it with the Perfection that you desire to have there.

亲爱的，无论你目前的处境看起来多么卑微，只要呼唤你的“我是临在”进入行动，你就可以改变你世界中的一切，并用你渴望存在的完美来充满它。

 VERY IMPORTANT 

Train yourselves to still the outer, if only for five minutes, three times a day. At the end of that stillness, with all the calm earnestness of your Being, call the "Mighty I AM Presence" into action, and you will have all the proof in the world you wish of the Presence, Power and Dominion of your own "Mighty GodSelf." The Beloved Master Jesus wishes Me to extend His Love and Assurance that He will give forth His Special Radiance to the students under this Radiation for the entire year of 1935. He will not dictate over the Ray today, but will on New Year's Day. This is the Christmas Message which the Host of Great Ascended Masters, the Legion of Light and the Great White Brotherhood give to you today:

训练你自己，即使每天只静心五分钟，每天三次。在那静心的片刻结束时，以你全身心的平静与真诚，召唤“强大的我是临在”去行动，你将得到所有你想要的证明——关于你自身“强大神圣自我”的临在、力量和统治权。亲爱的耶稣大师希望我传达他的爱与保证，他将在1935年全年，向那些在这个照耀之下的学生们散发他的特别光。今天他不会通过光束发言，但将在元旦那天发言。这是伟大的扬升大师们、光之军团和伟大白色兄弟会在今天给予你们的圣诞节信息：

''May your hearts, O Beloved Students, be filled with Our Eternal Presence of Divine Love; and may you become so charged with Its Active Presence that Its very Radiance becomes an Eternal, Consuming Activity, keeping out everything but the Eternal Light   of Perfection. "

亲爱的学生们，愿你们的心灵，被我们永恒的神圣之爱的临在所充满；愿你们充满这种活跃的临在，以至于它的光成为一种永恒的、不断的活动，排除一切除了永恒完美之光之外的事物。”

I charge the mental and emotional world of humanity with Our Eternal, Active Presence of Divine Love, manifest everywhere in the hearts and minds of mankind. In the Name, in the Power, in the Love of that Eternal Light and Perfection of the Universe, I send forth the Consuming, Purifying Flame throughout the earth—freeing mankind, controlling the feelings of mankind, and holding them in the Governing Presence and Perfection of Divine Love, now and forever.

我将人类的精神和情感世界充满我们永恒的、活跃的神圣之爱临在，它在全人类的心灵和思想中无处不在。以宇宙中永恒之光和完美的名义、力量和爱，我释放出吞噬、净化的火焰，遍布整个地球——解放人类，控制人类的情感，并使其保持在神圣之爱临在的主导和完美之中，直至永远。

With all the Love of My Being,

怀着我全部的爱，
