Discourse XI

August 8, 1932 

SAINT GERMAIN 

INVOCATION: Thou Mighty Infinite "Presence," Thou All౼Sustaining Power in the Cosmic World and in the Life of the individual. Thou art the only "Presence" and Energy. 0 Thou Mighty Light, clothe us with Thy Mighty Radiance that We may shine forth like the Great Sun, to heal, to bless, to enlighten all with whom We come in contact, and manifest Thy Mighty Sustaining Power. Silence and bring into subjection the outer self and activity that would spread its shadows in the Presence of the Light. 

祈请：全能无限的“临在”啊，祢是宇宙世界与个体生命中永恒的支撑之力。祢是唯一的“临在”和能量。哦，伟大的光，请为我们披上祢强大的光辉，使我们如同伟大的太阳般闪耀，治愈、祝福并启迪所有与我们接触的人，并彰显祢强大的支撑之力。愿祢使外在的自我及其活动静默，令其臣服于光的临在，不再投下阴影。

We take Our stand with firm determination to walk, to live, to be Thy Mighty "Presence" and Light. We give no quarter to the human or outer self that would interfere. We recognize, claim, and accept only Thy Mighty Radiant "Presence," Thy Mighty Sustaining Wisdom and Strength to lead Us forth on Thy Pathway of Life౼ever upward and onward, ever sustained by Thy Mighty "Presence" until at last We have attained Thy Gift of Dominion over the outer self and enter into the Temple of Light. 

我们以坚定的决心立下誓言，行走、生活并成为祢那强大的“临在”与圣光。我们绝不姑息任何干扰的凡我或外在自我。我们承认、认领并接纳唯有祢那伟大的辉煌“临在”，祢那强大的持续智慧与力量，引领我们踏上祢的生命之路——永远向上、向前，永远受到祢那强大“临在”的支撑，直至我们最终获得对外在自我的统御权，进入那光明的殿堂。

THE DISCOURSE

Instruction: I regret that you have not understood the importance of being in bed by midnight, so that certain Work might go on at those hours. It is important that the body be at rest by midnight. Certain Work is accomplished then; tremendous Work has been planned and cannot go on without the fullest cooperation౼and I am sure you are glad to do that. 

指示：我很遗憾你未能理解在午夜之前入睡的重要性，因为在那些时刻，有一些特定的工作需要进行。让身体在午夜之前进入休息状态是至关重要的。在此时段会完成某些工作；而且已经计划了巨大的工作，如果没有充分的配合，这些工作便无法进行——我确信你会乐意给予支持与配合。

Obedience: In all Activity of Life the highest attainment without obedience may fall to the lowest. In the beginning when the Divine became lowered to the present density, it was through the lack of obedience. Unless you can feel this willing, joyous obedience, it is not possible to continue this Work. We are glad to give Assistance. I will give you Help and Strength to help you obey. It is only because of Love for you that We want you to hold to this condition for the Work. We cannot use any of Our Force to compel. 

臣服：在生命的一切活动中，即使达到了最高成就，缺乏臣服也可能堕落到最低的境地。最初，当神圣的存在被降低到当前的密度时，就是因为缺乏臣服。如果你无法感受到这份自愿而喜悦的臣服，就不可能继续这项工作。我们乐于提供协助。我将给予你帮助和力量来支持你臣服。这完全是因为对你的爱，我们才希望你保持这种状态，以便完成工作。我们无法运用我们的力量去强迫你。

Use this every day: "Today, I will stand guard; and I will not become so interested in the outer activity that it will not give me opportunity to receive the Great Radiance of the 'Presence. ' God, govern and sustain me in the governing and mastery of the outer conditions." 

每天运用以下话语：“今天，我将守护自己；我不会因过于关注外界活动而失去接收‘临在’伟大光辉的机会。神啊，请引导并支持我，帮助我掌控和驾驭外在的境况。”

Determination and Divine Will: One of the greatest and mightiest simple Truths is to know that an unyielding determination for any specific accomplishment is the Open Doorway by which the Inner Strength flows out to its accomplishment. In our present era of activity, I think it is very well that Students should understand that what has always been termed "will" by the Instructors, is but determination to hold to the Light and that Ever sustaining "Presence." 

决心与神圣意志：最伟大、最强有力的简单真理之一，就是意识到对任何特定成就的不屈决心，是内在力量流向完成目标的开放之门。在我们当前的活动时代，我认为学生们应该明白，以往导师所称的“意志”，其实就是坚持光明和那永恒支撑的“临在”的决心。

I have observed so often that, like many other expressions used, the word "will" is not understood. There is only one Will that can be used, and that is the Divine Will. If we take a firm, unyielding determination to accept nothing but the Mighty Presence of God and that Activity of the Light, we are drawing into powerful action the Divine Will. However, I think it is much more readily understood by using this term "determination," for that cannot be misunderstood. This I am sure will help greatly the students that come under This Radiation. There is only one Energy that can be used, and that is the Life Principle in the individual, which is God's Energy. 

我常观察到，正如许多其他表达方式一样，“意志”这个词常被误解。事实上，唯一可以使用的意志是神圣意志。当我们坚定而不屈地决心只接受神的强大临在及光的活动时，我们就会引导神圣意志进入强大的行动。然而，我认为用“决心”这个术语会更容易被理解，因为它不容易引起误解。我确信，这将极大地帮助那些接受这一辐射的学生们。能被使用的只有一种能量，那就是个体中的生命原则——神的能量。

Please understand: Therefore when individuals aim, through the attention and determination, to use this energy constructively, then they have entered into the fullness of the outer activity that will loose the Inner Activity to do the work. Students so often unknowingly drop into the mental attitude that they of the outer have to do certain things, when the True Activity is but to keep the attention centered upon that Mighty Inner God Power which is the only "Presence" that can ever achieve any permanent results. 

请理解：当个人通过专注和决心致力于建设性地使用能量时，他们的外在活动便进入完整的状态，从而释放出内在活动去完成工作。学生们常常不自觉地陷入一种心态，认为外在的自己必须完成某些任务。然而，真正的活动只是将注意力集中在那强大的内在神圣力量上，因为它是唯一能够实现持久和永恒结果的临在。

The certain Victory: The conscious use of Decreeing, backed up by the conscious determination, is an Invincible Power and cannot be interfered with when the determination is held unyielding. Everyone knows what "determination" means, leaving no wavering or questioning in the mind. But to most people the word "will" leaves a peculiar sense of vacancy in the consciousness because of the uncertainty of just what it means in the individual's activity and use. I want this to be very clear and definite, for it is the stumbling block over which many trip. 

必然的胜利：有意识地运用宣告（Decreeing），并辅以坚定的决心，是一种不可战胜的力量，只要决心始终不动摇，这种力量便无法被干扰。 每个人都知道“决心”意味着什么，它在心中不会留下任何动摇或疑问。然而，对于大多数人来说，“意志”一词却在意识中留下了一种奇怪的空白感，因为个人在行动和运用中对其意义并不完全确定。我希望将这一点讲得非常清楚和明确，因为这是许多人绊倒的绊脚石。

The difference between human and Divine Will: So few, even among Students, can distinguish between what is called the human and the Divine Will. Therefore, We think it much better when referring to the Inner Activity, to use "Divine Will" ౼and "determination" when referring to the outer activity. This explanation will make it impossible for confusion to accumulate in the mind. Knowing that the outer determination to do or accomplish something, opens the Inner Door for the Inner Power to rush forth to its fulfillment ౼ this removes instantly all uncertainty that it can be done. This is so important to the Student who wishes continuous, definite progress. 

人类意志与神圣意志的区别：即使在学生中，也只有极少数人能够区分所谓的“人类意志”和“神圣意志”。因此，当提及内在活动时，我们认为最好使用“神圣意志”这个词；而在提及外在活动时，则用“决心”。这样的解释可以避免心智中积累任何混淆。理解这一点非常重要：外在的决心去做或完成某件事，打开了通向内在力量的大门，从而使内在的力量能够涌现并实现目标——这会立刻消除任何“是否能够完成”的不确定性。对于希望获得持续且明确进步的学生来说，这一点至关重要。

In the Retreats, every Student is given private work, particularly in regard to his or her own individual activity. Until now, there has not been given out a clear understanding so the Students could utilize and apply it, except in the Retreats. 

在闭关期间，每个学生都有自己的工作，特别是关于他或她自己的个人活动。 到目前为止，除了闭关修炼之外，还没有一种明确的理解可以让学生加以利用和应用。

In moving in the outer world there can always be this same constant Love and Prayer for your Light and Protection. When you have been in contact with the outer vibration, it takes a very positive force to repel that outer contact and release you from that disturbing element. There may not be the slightest thing noticeable in the outer activity, but sometimes the mere contact with the disturbance of the outer world allows it to rush in if you are not on guard. 

在外部世界中活动时，你依然可以始终保持这种恒久的爱，并为自己的光明与保护祈祷。当你接触到外在的振动时，需要一股非常积极的力量来驱散这些外在接触，并将你从干扰因素中解放出来。外部活动中可能没有任何明显的异常，但有时，仅仅是与外部世界的干扰接触，若你未能保持警觉，它就可能迅速渗入。

This Work must not be interrupted for the gratification of the outer self or activity. Everywhere you go, know and use always, "God! surround me, and protect me from every outer vibration!" This is one of the rarest privileges where I have been allowed to warn the Student. Owing to our home life of long ago, it is permitted that I warn you. If this Work is uninterrupted there will come tremendous Light, Abundance, and Freedom; and tremendous things will be accomplished. The reason that I speak of this is that Obedience is the most important of all things. Nothing so destroys the attention as rebellion within; for it not only rebels to the outer but to the Inner. 

这项工作绝不能因外在自我或活动的满足而中断。无论你去到哪里，都要牢记并常常使用这句话：“神！围绕我，保护我免受一切外在振动的影响！” 这是我被允许警示学生的最为罕见的特权之一。由于我们久远的家庭生活，这种提醒才得以被允许。如果这项工作不受干扰，将会带来巨大的光明、富足与自由；伟大的成就也会随之而来。我之所以强调这一点，是因为顺从是所有事物中最为重要的。没有什么比内在的叛逆更能破坏注意力，因为这种叛逆不仅针对外在，同时也针对内在。

For writing: If you are accustomed to writing, make up your mind before you begin, to keep a certain spot as a focus. If you move, it changes the current and you never get exactly the same condition again. The time has come when the Students must anchor to a definite, perfect thing and hold to it. This Brother years ago took the determined stand to know the Truth and hold to It. All Students should take the same stand to know the Truth absolutely. Then they do not take on a condition they have to get rid of later. 

关于写作：如果你习惯于写作，那么在开始之前，请下定决心为自己保留一个特定的聚焦点。如果你改变位置，就会改变能量流动，且无法再完全恢复到之前的状态。现在，学生们必须锚定于一个明确而完美的目标，并始终坚持下去。多年前，这位兄弟坚定地立下志向，要了解真理并坚持它。所有学生都应采取同样的态度，绝对地追求真理。这样，他们就不会陷入需要日后摆脱的境况。

Foresight: "God in me, give me foresight and guard all future activity that all concerning it may be maintained harmoniously." "Foresight" means that we are loosing the Inner Protection against any approaching disturbance. 

远见：“神在我之中，请赐予我远见，并守护所有未来的活动，使一切相关事宜都能和谐地维持。” “远见”意味着我们正在利用内在的保护，防御任何即将到来的干扰。

Divine Memory: "Divine Memory" covers all speech, thought, and action. "Memory" is that which has accrued from former speech, thought, and action. 

神圣记忆：“神圣记忆”涵盖所有的言语、思想和行为。“记忆”是由过去的言语、思想和行为累积而成的。

The Guarding Activity of the Cherubim: Govern the feeling at all times, for it builds that which even an Ascended Master may not interfere with. A certain sudden concentration upon the Cherubim in the Student's mind, is good now. 

智天使的守护活动：时刻管理自己的情感，因为情感会创造出一种即使是扬升大师也无法干涉的力量。对于学生来说，现在集中思想于智天使是非常有益的。

Where a reference is made to the Hierarchy of Cherubim, say They are direct Messengers of God. It is a very rare thing when the Cherubim can give direct Radiation, as is done here. There is usually one step down to the point given. We are sustained by our own Mighty God Self within and the Ascended Host or Watchers. The Cherubim is a Dynamo or charging forth of the Power of Divine Love. They are Guardians of Force that has been focused, and of Foci to be. Others work under Them. Sometimes there are two or three steps down, depending on the requirements of the human channels through which They are to operate. 

提及智天使的层级时，可以说祂们是直属于神的使者。智天使能够直接释放辐射能量（如这里所描述的情况），是极其罕见的。通常情况下，这种能量需要经过一级递减，才能传递到指定的目标。我们依靠自身内在的全能神性和扬升存有或守护者来维持。智天使是神圣之爱的力量发电机，释放出充沛的能量。祂们是已聚焦力量的守护者，也是未来聚焦点的守护者。在祂们之下，还有其他存有在工作。有时，根据祂们需要通过的人类渠道的具体需求，这种能量可能需要两级或三级递减后才能有效运作。

Always feel your own God Self holding you in Its Arms, and know that all is dispelled and you are free. 

时刻感受你的神我将你拥入怀中，知道一切都已消散，你获得了自由。

The Cherubim guard Shamballa, as well as the Great Ones Themselves. The Cherubim guard the Ark of the Covenant. That is the case always when the Manifestation of a High Power comes within a mixed force. Whenever a Being comes like this, you can imagine the importance of the Focus established here. If the Great God saw fit to place a Cherubim as a Guardian over this Focus, you must know it is of great importance. Thus you see how great this can grow in this civilization. As you read about the buried cities of the Amazon in Unveiled Mysteries, you will see how such a Focus takes place. 

智天使不仅守护香巴拉，也守护伟大的存有们本身。智天使还守护着约柜。每当一种高级力量显现在一个混杂的能量场中，这种守护都是必不可少的。当一个存有像这样降临时，你可以想象这里所建立的聚焦点有多么重要。如果伟大的神明认为适合安排一位智天使来守护这个聚焦点，那么你必须明白，这一定具有非凡的重要性。由此，你也能明白，这种聚焦点在当前文明中能够成长到何等程度。当你阅读《揭开奥秘》一书中关于亚马逊地区埋藏的古城时，你将明白这样一个聚焦点是如何形成的。

Nothing in the Universe can say nay to an individual if he chooses to turn his vision down. Very few Students get this idea fully. One must of his own volition be joyously willing to render Service to the Light if he is to have help. The Student who sees that he has made mistakes and, through the God within, has the power to consume them, will certainly take the reins and do it౼and thus rid himself of barnacles, centuries old. 

宇宙中没有任何力量能阻止一个人如果他选择将自己的视野向下转移。很少有学生能够完全领悟这一点。如果一个人想要获得帮助，他必须出于自愿，并且怀着喜悦的心情服务于光明。一个学生如果意识到自己曾犯过错误，并通过内在的神性拥有力量去消解这些错误，他就一定会主动掌控自己的方向并采取行动——从而摆脱那些如同附着物般的古老包袱，甚至可以清除累积了几个世纪的障碍。

The fact is that God can consume that which has been personally generated. Anything that has been humanly generated can be dissolved and consumed, because God's Energy was used to create and, when requalified, has the Power to consume and recreate. When an individual says in a half౼hearted manner, “It is consumed," it is not necessarily so౼unless there was Power or Energy enough released to do it. When one gives a Real Command and means it, the feeling within it always carries force, and that force is its Accomplishing Power. 

事实上，神能够消解由个人创造的一切。任何由人性创造的事物都可以被溶解和消解，因为在创造时使用的是神的能量，而当这些能量被重新调整时，就具备了消解与重塑的能力。如果一个人半心半意地说“它已经被消解了”，那并不一定会发生——除非释放了足够的力量或能量来完成这一过程。而当一个人真正发出坚定的指令，并全心全意地相信它时，指令中所蕴含的感觉总会带有一种力量，这种力量就是实现其目标的成就之力。

Instruction on Unveiled Mysteries: The Scepter in the hand of the feminine figure in the Tapestry symbolized the focusing of the Eternal Cosmic Power for the Center in the Royal Teton. The Globe represented the fact that the future Activity of the Retreat and the Earth was known. The reason why I think you have the feeling that you should dwell considerably on that Tapestry, is because it would be well to dwell in detail on the description which reveals that They were the Founders of the Retreat. 

关于《揭开扬升的奥秘》的指导：挂毯中女性手中权杖象征着将永恒宇宙力量聚焦于皇家提顿山的中心。地球仪则表明，静修处以及地球未来的活动是已知的。我认为你会感到应该详细探讨这幅挂毯，是因为这确实值得深入研究。通过对挂毯的细节描述，可以揭示出他们是静修处的创始者，这一点尤为重要。

Question: "Where are You going today?" 

问题： “您今天要去哪里？”

Saint Germain: To Arabia, in the Retreat. There is no time that We meet here that there is not a Direct Ray sent to Washington for consciously directed Work. We do not have a Focus in Washington like this, but We do have Messengers there. 

圣哲曼：“去阿拉伯，前往静修处。每次我们在这里会面时，总会有一道直接的光线传送至华盛顿，用于有意识地指引工作。我们在华盛顿并没有像这里一样的聚焦点，但我们确实在那里有使者。”

Angel Deva and Cherubim: Through a consciously directed focus, the Angel Deva and Cherubim can pour Their Streams of Force out through the individual's own outgoing Stream. Sleep and the Great Great Silence: "Sleep" is entering the Great Silence. As the outer self becomes inactive, the Inner Action is released. 

天使天神与智天使：通过有意识地引导聚焦，天使天神和智天使可以通过个人外放的能量流倾注祂们的力量之流。睡眠与伟大的寂静： “睡眠”是进入伟大的寂静。当外在自我变得不活跃时，内在的行动便被释放出来。

Affirmations: 

宣告：

Use this constantly: "move within the core of the Ray from the Great Central, Spiritual Sun, and 'I AM' always within Its Invincible Protection!’ 

请经常使用以下宣告： “在来自伟大的中央灵性太阳的光束核心中移动，'我是'始终处于其无敌的保护之中！”

Say to your Mighty Master within: "Reveal to me something that will put my finances which are mine by Divine Right, into my hands quickly; and sustain me in it, through overwhelming and everlasting Light and Love!" Say also: "Open Your Channels for my Mighty Supply! Put it in my hands now and continue it permanently!" 

向你内在的全能大师祈请：“向我揭示某种方法，能迅速将属于我的并依照神圣权利而来的财务交到我手中；通过压倒性的、永恒的光明与爱，维持这一切！”同时宣告： “打开您的渠道，为我带来丰盛的供应！立即将其交到我手中，并使其永续不绝！”

"God! Open all channels for my money supply now, and I accept nothing else!" Your only business is with the Master within. Say to It: "Dispense this in Thy Perfect Way through me in Wisdom and Love!" 

"神！现在就为我的资金供应打开所有渠道，我不接受任何其他东西！" 你唯一的事情就是与内心的大师打交道。 对它说："以你完美的方式，通过我以智慧和爱分配这些！"

It replies: "I, Christ, the 'Beloved Mighty I AM, ' being declared and to nothing else turning, show thee hidden riches from Secret Places. " 

回应：“我，基督，‘至爱的强大的我是临在’，被宣告且不转向他物，将向你显现隐藏于秘密之地的财富。”

Surrender all attention to the "I AM Presence" within you. Any one of you can now take the Consciousness of a new activity and accomplish it as surely as you live. 

将所有注意力交给你内在的 "我是临在"。 现在，你们中的任何一个人都能以新活动的意识去完成它，就像你们活着一样肯定

Say often, joyously: 'I stand with God, the Supreme, Reigning, Conquering I AM Presence'; and as that I AM Presence, 'I do not want for any good thing!" Say also: "God! Give me some money now, today!" This can no more fail than the Universe can cease to exist. 

经常带着喜悦地说：“我与神同在，至高无上的、主宰的、征服一切的‘我是临在’！作为这‘我是临在’，我不缺乏任何美好的事物！” 同时宣告： “神！今天就赐给我一些钱吧！” 这一祈求的实现就如同宇宙的存在一样不可失败。

Know: "This home is sealed in the Heart of the Cosmic Light and Love, and every right desire is created instantly!" 

请铭记： “此家园被封印在宇宙光与爱的核心之中，每一个正当的愿望都会瞬间实现！”

Remember forever: "The moment you fight a thing, it fights you back!" Always be on guard when the destructive element is discussed or read about. 

永远记住： “当你与某事对抗的那一刻，它也会反击你！” 每当讨论或阅读关于破坏性事物时，务必保持警觉。

Live every moment of the day in the Consciousness of the All౼powerful Presence of God in you. Say to yourself: "I have the Mighty Presence of God in me, and I do not give recognition or power to anything else!" There is nothing that can stand before that Invincible Presence of Almighty God, and all things must be and are compelled to bow before It and obey. 

每日生活在对内在全能神性临在的觉知中。对自己宣告： “我拥有内在的全能神性临在，我不会给予其他任何事物以承认或力量！” 没有任何事物能够在全能神性不可战胜的临在面前站立，一切事物都必须且必然向其屈服并服从。

The first thing in the morning, take the determined stand that "only the Ascended Host of Light can contact me mentally this day!" 

早晨第一件事就是坚定地立下决心： “今天，唯有光之扬升存有可以在思想上与我接触！”

Never fail to use: "There are no personalities! There is only God in Action at every point! I AM' the only 'Presence' acting!" 

永远不要忘记使用以下句子：“没有个人性格！每一点都只有神在行动！‘我是’唯一在起作用的‘临在’！”

Say to your God within: "My Great Love Self, I do receive instantly all of everything I require!" 

对你内在的神说：“我伟大的爱之自我，我即刻接收我所需的一切！”

BENEDICTION: Thou Mighty "Presence"! We give praise and thanks for Thy Wondrous Radiation and Sustaining Power! All unlike the Christ is consumed; and all now goes forth clothed with the Sustaining Activity of Thy Mighty Presence, holding all within Thy Great Silence and pouring forth Thy Greatest Activity. 

祈请：全能的“临在”啊！我们献上赞美与感恩，感谢祢奇妙的光辉与支撑的力量！所有不似基督的都被消融；如今一切都承载着祢全能临在的支撑之力而前行，将万物置于祢伟大静谧之中，并倾泻出祢最伟大的力量。
