Discourse II

SAINT GERMAIN

    INVOCATION: Thou “Mighty I AM Presence” from the Heart of the Great Central Sun! We face Thy Sunrise!

祈请：祢是来自伟大中央太阳中心之“强大的我是临在”！我们面向祢的光芒！

THE DISCOURSE

    Daily exercise: You may do this at any time during the twenty౼four hours. Stand erect, face the east, and say mentally or aloud(be guided by your own feelings as to whether you should say it aloud or not), but let it be firm:”Mighty God in me! I face Thy Eternal Sunrise and receive Thy Mighty Radiance and Activity visibly manifest in my experience now.” The use of this sets into motion certain powerful principles.

每日练习：你可以在24小时内的任何时候进行此练习。站直，面向东方，心中默念或大声说出（根据你自己的感觉，决定是否需要大声说），然后必须坚定地说：“我内在的伟大神！我面向你永恒的光芒，接收你在我体验中看得见的显化的强大之照耀和行动。” 这个练习会启动某些强大的法则。

    Warning: If Students use this, they should analyze themselves first and see if they are really sincere in their determination to have and serve the Light unconditionally. If they be sincere, let them stand to the Light and then go forth. Awake! Stand to the Light and serve only the One Presence of Right and Justice.

警告：如果学生要使用这个练习，首先要分析自己，看看是否真正诚心决定无条件地拥有并服务于光。如果他们是真诚的，就站在光中，然后前行。觉醒！站在光的一方，服务那唯一的正义与公正的存在。

    Know that God, the “Mighty I AM Presence” in you, governs and controls all unfoldment in Perfect Divine Order. As the sea holds all created Life in its embrace which is designed for its sphere, so the air holds within its embrace those created forms of Life belonging to it. These are two links ever active between the human and the Divine, or the physical and the White Fire Body. We may call upon these forms of Life to give us the best of their element.

知晓神，即是你内在的“强大的我是临在”，掌控并控制所有事物在完美的神圣秩序中展开。就像海洋拥抱所有为它的领域而创造的生命一样，空气也拥抱那些属于它的生命形式。这两个链接始终在物质与神性、或人类与白火身体之间活动。我们可以呼唤这些生命形式给予我们其元素的最佳力量。

    Man is the only creator of inharmony. The elements and their inhabitants are always harmonious in themselves, and it is only when one gets out of one’s element that inharmony is created; but the inharmony is not of the element itself.

人类是唯一的混乱创造者。元素及其所属者始终是和谐的，只有当人脱离自己的元素时，才会产生不和谐；但这种不和谐并非源自元素本身。

    The human element, or outer sphere of mankind, is the only element in Creation that deliberately creates inharmony and consciously misuses the energy of the God sustaining it. This is the only sphere in the Universe where those who function within it have taken command and declared themselves independent of God. I mean by this, those who are refusing to acknowledge the active Presence of God in their lives.

人类元素或人类外在领域是宇宙中唯一故意创造不和谐，并有意识地滥用维系它的神的能量元素。这是宇宙中唯一在其运作的个体宣称自己独立于神的领域。我所指的是那些拒绝承认神在他们生命中活跃临在的人。

    No principle or activity can blamed for the misuse mankind makes of it. All through the ages. humanity has tried to place upon God the responsibility for its destructive activities. Hence the ruse of manufacturing gods who could be either angry or joyous according to mankind’s whim.

没有任何法则或活动可以因为人类对它的滥用而受到责备。贯穿各个时代，人类试图将其破坏性的行为归咎于神。因此，人类编造了可以随意愤怒或快乐的神明。

    I assure you from My own observation, that those Great Ones—far greater than I — through aeons of investigation, have indisputable proof that there is but One God — the Life, Wisdom, and Energy of all Creation. Therefore, the Energy of God cannot be blamed for the inharmony created when someone misuses It. Neither can the principle of banking be blamed because of dishonest bankers. Neither can the activity or principle of giving out information by the press be blamed because of malicious reporters or dishonest editors. 

我向你保证，通过我的观察，那些伟大的存在——远比我伟大的存在——通过无数的调查，拥有确凿的证据证明只有一个神——即所有创造的生命、智慧和能量。因此，神的能量不能因某人滥用它而受到指责。就像银行业的原则不能因为不诚实的银行家而受到指责，新闻业的原则或活动也不能因为恶意记者或不诚实编辑而受到指责。

    I assure you that the day is not far distant when these principles of activity will be used in their highest constructive power. The constructive, educational moving picture will also be used as the quickest, easiest, and most certain way of educating the outer perception. 

我向你保证，不远的将来，这些活动原则将以其最高的建设性力量被使用。建设性或教育性的电影将成为教育外部感知最快、最容易、最确定的方式。

    Too long has mankind usurped and misused the Energy of good, which is God. The Inner Quickening, by the Cosmic Radiation through the Mighty Arisen Messengers of God into the Heart of each individual, is rapidly drawing the human desire into the Divine. As is the case in all seeming struggles between two forces, so in the conditions of today, they are but the old conditions being repeated. And out of it all will come, for the first time on Earth, a permanently established condition and right attitude of mind in the outer activity of humanity.

人类篡夺并滥用了善良的能量，即神的能量，太长时间了。通过神圣的使者向每个人心中传递的宇宙照耀，内在的觉醒正在迅速将人类的欲望引导向神圣。就像所有看似两股力量之间的斗争一样，今天的状况不过是旧有的状况在重复。而从这一切中，地球上将第一次出现一个永久既定的状态，以及人类外部活动中正确的心态。

    I want so much to have each one of the Students keep before them the fact that they alone are the governor of their Life and its activity, and are commanded to choose what they wish to manifest in their Life — always remembering that they are not to stop and worry about this or that individualization. They are to fix their vision, which is God's Inner Activity, on the Goal and hold it there with a firm, joyous determination to reach it.

我非常希望每一位学生都牢记这样一个事实：只有他们是自己生命及其活动的统治者，并被命令选择他们希望在生活中展现什么——始终记住，他们不应该为这个或那个人个体化烦恼或担心。他们应将目光固定在神的内在活动上，坚定而愉快地决心实现它。

    No advice to others: Knowing this, there is no one who should attempt to advise another. The God in each is the only one who knows what is best for each individual. 

不给他人建议：知晓这一点，任何人不应试图给予他人建议。每个人内在的神是唯一知道什么是对他最好的。

    Those who are experiencing discordant activity should go where they can be absolutely quiet and uninterrupted; then to the best of their ability, enter into the Great Silence and, as they become quiet, say: " 'Mighty I A M Presence!' I demand to know the right attitude and activity that I should take in adjusting and solving this problem!" If the Answer does not come at once, each day enter into the Silence again and continue to demand that the Divine Answer come forth. Also demand to be shown, through the Inner Vision, every detail which should be carried out. Then all of a sudden, possibly when most unexpected, will come forth into the outer consciousness the full unquestionable solution to the problem or situation. 

那些正在经历不和谐活动的人应该去一个可以完全安静且不受打扰的地方；然后尽自己所能进入伟大的静默中，并在平静下来时说：“‘强大的我是临在！’我要求知道我应采取的正确态度和行动，以调整和解决这个问题！”如果答案没有立即出现，每天再次进入静默，并继续要求神圣的答案显现出来。同时要求通过内在视觉显示应执行的每个细节。然后，或许在最意外的时候，答案会全然、无疑地浮现在外在意识中，问题或状况的完整解决方案也将出现。   

    Running away: As one may not at any time run away from anything, this will make clear to him the complete situation, and reveal whether he is being held by the hypnotic influence or whether he is fulfilling a just obligation.

逃跑：任何人都不应该逃避任何事情，这会让他完整清楚地看见完整的情况，并揭示他是受到编程的影响还是正在履行正义的义务。

    If I were to unleash My Love for My Students and attempt to advise them, I might be interfering with opportunity of immense value to them. Because I might know a thing, does not permit Me to take away from the Student valuable opportunity. No one should feel distressed or lose hope because of outer conditions, when a few moments' contemplation can but reveal the fact that there is only One Power, Energy, or Activity to use or that is being used which is God! When one depends upon and demands of this Supreme "Presence" the right solution of any problem or situation, it will be solved or adjusted with the most wonderful Divine Activity. The Divine Solution will far transcend anything the outer mind could conceive of, even if it had the power of accomplishment within itself.

如果我释出我对学生的爱并尝试为他们提供建议，我可能就会干扰到对他们来说具有巨大价值的机会。因为我可能知道一件事，就是不允许我从学生身上夺走宝贵的机会。任何人都不应该对外在情况感到苦恼或失去希望，因为只需花点时间静坐就能够明白只有一种力量、能量或活动可以利用或正在利用，那就是神！当一个人依靠并要求这个强大的“临在”来正确地解决问题或情况时，祂将会透过最奇妙的神圣活动得到解决或调整。神圣的解决办法将远远超过外在心智所能想象的任何事物，即使它具有成就的力量。

    Knowing that the outer mind or consciousness is a mighty vehicle through which the tremendous Energy of God can be consciously directed, then we know that we have every moment, all about us, the most powerful Presence for Protection and Direction, and the Supreme Solver and Adjuster of every condition that opportunity brings before us. It would save so much distress to the individual if on the first intimation of any intruding discord he or she would leap, as it were, into the Heart of this Mighty "Presence" and say: "Seemingly the outer has made a mistake. I call on Thy Law ofForgiveness. See that this is adjusted quickly and completely. "

知晓外在心智或意识是一个强大的载体，透过它可以有意识的引导神的强大能量，然后我们知道我们每时每刻都拥有保护和指引的最强大的临在，以及最高级的解决方案和在机会来到我们面前之前调整所有条件的调节者。如果在第一次出现不和谐的暗示时，他或她可以进入强大“临在”之心并说：“这是外在犯的错误，我呼请祢的宽恕法则。看见这个并快速又彻底的进行调整。”

    Take a firm grip on the Inner "Presence" to govern every inharmony and to remove any wrong condition permanently. The highest and quickest action is always to make the Demand to the Great Inner "Presence." God's Energy always acts according to the consciousness we have of It. Opportunity is a very poor master; it is you who must always govern it. Use opportunity, but never let it use you.

牢牢地抓住内在“临在”来控制每一个不和谐并永久消除任何错误的情况。最高和最快的行动始终是对内在强大的“临在”提出要求。神的能量始终在我们拥有神的意识时行动。机会是一个非常糟糕的主人；你必须始终控制它。利用机会，但永远不要让它利用你。

     The Assistance of the Masters: The Great Ones may and do give Assistance at all times, whether the Students know it or not. One of the Greatest Activities of the Ascended Beings which They perform for the Students, is to give Courage, Strength, and Assurance, until such a time as they make a strong enough contact with their own Inner "Presence" to fully and clearly loose Its Mighty Wisdom and Activity into the outer self.

大师们的协助：不论学生是否知道，伟大的一可能会随时提供协助。其中一个伟大的活动是扬升存有给予学生勇气、力量和保证，直到他们与自己内在的“临在”建立足够强大的链接，并能够完全又清晰地将其强大的智慧与活动释放到外在的自我中。

    The result of this Radiation is that the Students build permanent strength of character, and it saves them endless repetition and recreation of imperfection. In the past, down through the centuries, the Call to the "Mighty I AM Presence" within the individual has been but intermittent. Now the work before each one is to make the contact with the God within and hold it.

这种照耀的结果是学生建立了永久的个人力量，并且避免了他们对不完美的不停地重复和在创造。在过去的几个世纪里，个人内在对“强大的我是临在”的呼唤只是断断续续。现在摆在每个人面前的工作就是与内在的神接触并保持它。

    The idea is not to ease up as soon as a problem is solved and think that no further effort is required — but to keep calling to this Mighty Inner "Presence," and recognizing and accepting It going before to see that these foolish human problems are consumed at their first intimation. In this way the Divine Self keeps you free from the outer disturbing or binding conditions.

这个想法并不是问题解决后就放松下来，认为不需要再付出任何努力——而是不断呼唤这种强大的内在“存在”，并提前认识和接受它，确保这些愚蠢的人类问题在第一次出现时就被解决。通过这种方式，神圣的自我让你摆脱外界的干扰或束缚。

    Experience is but opportunity and is one of the most powerful friends the outer self has; for it gives the outer a chance to bring forth the Divine Character of Life, which knows no imperfection. Allow Me to say again: " 'Mighty I AM Presence!' Reveal to me Your True Solution of this situation in which I seem to be concerned. Come forth in Your Wisdom and Strength and solve this in Divine Order without another moment's delay. I recognize that You do not need time, place, nor space, but that Your All powerful Activity is now! I accept this fact.”

经验只是个机会，是外在自我拥有的最强大的朋友之一；因为它是外在机会展现生命的神圣品质，而生命的神圣品质是没有任何瑕疵的。请容许我再说一次：“‘强大的我是临在！’向我揭示我所关心之事物，祢真正的解决方案。请用祢的智慧和力量来解决这个问题，并立即按照神圣的秩序来解决它。我知道到祢不需要时间、地点或空间，祢的全能活动就在当下！我接受这个事实。”

    Explanation of Cosmic Karma: I wish to put before the Students another very vital and important thing, which concerns human creation. The individual can call on the Law of Forgiveness and say to the “I AM Presence,” “Dissipate and consume this wrong creation.” This throws it back to the Cosmic Law for adjustment, wherein it is adjusted outside of the individual karmic activity.

宇宙业力的解释：我想向学生提出另一件非常重要的事情，它涉及人类的创造。个人可以呼请宽恕法则并对“我是临在”说：“驱散并消除这个错误的造物。”这样就能将它丢回宇宙法则进行重新调整，在个人业力活动之外进行调整。

    There are a great many individuals to whom this idea of Truth would give immense relief and great Freedom in a very short time. I cannot stress too strongly how the individual, being the only creator of inharmony, can, by the conscious Application of the Law of Forgiveness, remove from his or her individual activity a great deal that would be very distressing.

许多人在极短的时间内就能从这一真理观念中得到极大的解脱和极大的自由。我再怎么强调也不为过，个人是造成不和谐的唯一因素，通过有意识地运用宽恕法则，个人可以从个人活动中消除许多令人痛苦的事情。

    The old idea of karma — an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth – has not been correctly understood, except by a few. The majority have thought that karma must be balanced individual to individual. In some cases this is imperative; but there is so much that does not have to be balanced in that way, when the correct idea of it is understood.

以眼还眼、以牙还牙的旧业力观念尚未得到正确理解，只有少数人对此有正确理解。大多数人认为业力必须在个体之间保持平衡。在某些情况下，这是必要的；但是，如果理解了正确的业力观念，很多事情就不必以这种方式来平衡。

    One of the unfortunate things when the idea of karma was advanced, was the above mistake. It caused individuals to consciously bind themselves to each other for adjustment. Taking in to consideration that each individual has Free Will, you can see how this individual to individual balancing might become an endless thing. If one individual be not in a mood to cooperate in the adjustment of a condition, how then could the activity ever be ended? There must be and is a wiser means of help to do it. If the above material is carefully contemplated by the Students, they will find greater relief and peace from realizing that they have this Wise “Presence” upon which they may call in all conditions.

业力观念提出后，不幸的事情之一就是上述错误。它导致个人有意识地将自己与他人绑定在一起以进行调整。考虑到每个人都有自由意志，你可以看到这种个人与个人之间的平衡可能会成为一件无休止的事情。如果一个人不愿意合作调整某种状况，那么这种活动又怎么可能结束呢？一定有而且现在也有更明智的方法来帮助做到这一点。如果学生们仔细思考上述材料，他们将从意识到他们拥有这种智慧的“临在”而在任何情况下都可以召唤它中找到更大的解脱和平静。

BENEDICTION: We give praise and thanks that shortly Thy Messengers will fill every office in this Land, and that the Reign of God is now manifest on Earth.

祝福：我们赞美并感谢祢，因为不久祢的使者将遍布这片土地，神的统治现已在地球上显现。
