圣哲曼系列 03《“我是”开示 》THE“I AM” DISCOURSES (part 17)
DISCOURSE XVI
INVOCATION: Thou Mighty, Wondrous Presence! We give praise and thanks for Jesus Christ's Presence today. We rejoice in the Fullness of the Christ Activity, the Active Presence of God.
祈祷文:祢事强大、奇妙的临在!我们对耶稣基督今天的临在表示赞美和感谢。我们因基督活动的完整及活跃的神之临在而感到欣喜。
Out of the Fullness of this Presence comes pouring, like a mighty stream gushing forth from the mountains, the Energy of Illumination. This Great and Mighty Stream of Life, with all its attributes of Perfection surging into the hearts of mankind, is anchoring in everyone Peace, Love, Harmony, Faith, and Charity to all.
从这个临在的丰盛中倾泻而出,就像一条强大的溪流从山中涌出,如光明的能量涌出。这条伟大而强大的生命之流,会带着完美的属性涌入人类的心灵,将和平、大爱、和谐、信仰和慈悲锚定在每个人的心中。
Thou Mighty Presence, Infinite Love, enfolding all mankind! Give special notice to these earnest students who have come under this Radiation. Give every Assistance that is permissible. Strengthen them to stand unwaveringly in the Light and face the Truth, joyously willing to pluck out of their lives and creation all undesirable things.
祢强大的临在,祢无限的大爱,笼罩着全人类!请特别注意这些接受圣光又认真的学生。提供他们一切适当的协助。加强他们,让他们坚定不移地站在光中并面对真理,且愿意快乐地从他们的生活和创造中剔除所有不受欢迎的东西。
Fill all official places with Mighty Messengers of Light! Sustain them by Thy Mighty Ascended Host, that they may be strong enough to stand unwavering and successful before any sinister force.
让强大的光之使者充满所有官方场所! 用你强大的扬升大军来支持他们,使他们足够强大,能够在任何邪恶势力面前坚定不移并取得成功。
We give praise and thanks for this day as an uplifting and wonderful memory established in the consciousness of mankind. May that rapidly approaching time come when every day may be a thanksgiving in the hearts of mankind for Thy Light ever enfolding all who wish it.
我们感恩并赞美今天,它成为了人类意识中一段振奋人心、美好的记忆。愿那迅速临近的时刻快速到来,让每一天都成为人类心中感恩的日子,因为祢的光永远笼罩着一切渴望的人们。
I bring you Greetings from the Ascended Host and Jesus himself.
我向你们带来扬升存有和耶稣的问候。
THE DISCOURSE
The First Principle of activity from the Godhead is projection, or precipitation. Therefore, Its nature is to project, or precipitate Itself.
神活动的首要原则是投射或沉降。 因此,它的本质就是投射或沉降它自己。
The first activity is the divided Rays going forth into individualization, into visible expression. When I speak of individual, or visible expression, I use that term because of the physical activity, not that it is not always visible, because it is; but to those in the physical form, I speak of it as visibility.
第一个活动是分裂的光束进入个体化,进入可见的表达。当我谈到个体或可见的表达时,我使用这个术语是因为物理活动,不是因为它不总是可见,因为它是可见的;但对于身处物质形态的人来说,我将其称为可见性。
Thus you will see the nature of your Being as Rays of Light, and who you are as the Natural Quality of Life which you so much desire at this time. The day is rapidly approaching when many, many students will begin to use the Light Rays of which they are a part especially the Ray of Vision and Sound.
因此,你将看到自己的本质是光,到时你将会是你此刻渴望的生命的自然品质。这一天很快就要到来,许多学生将开始使用他们所属的光束,尤其是视觉和声音的光束。
Even in your physical world today there are being discovered means of producing and uses of these Rays. These are strange activities-I say strange to the visible activity, but natural always to the Inner Presence. The manner of using these Rays at present is crude, it is true; but it will require only another step to take them through the veil.
即使在你们今天的物质世界中,也已经发现产生和使用这些光束的方法。这些都是奇怪的活动,我说对于可见的活动来说是奇怪的,但对于内在的临在来说总是那么的自然。确实,目前使用这些光束的方式还很粗糙;但只需再迈出一步,就能揭开面纱。
The Power of the "I AM Presence" and Intelligence to use these Rays will always remain infinitely more powerful than any mechanical contrivance by which they are used. However, to the student who has not yet found his ability to use these Rays, the scientist's experience will be of wondrous encouragement to know the amazing Truth of the individual's ability to use them.
以“我是临在”的力量及智慧来使用这些光束将永远比通过任何机械装置使用它们的方式更强大。然而,对于尚未找到使用这些光束的能力的学生来说,科学家的经验将极大地鼓励他们了解个人使用这些光束的能力的惊人真相。
Here it is important to know that there are Natural Rays penetrating through all the atmosphere, or etheric belt within the earth's atmosphere. When I say natural, I mean those Rays projected from the Godhead, or Great Central Sun, which in recent years, shall I say within a few years, have been made permanent.
这里重要的是要知道,所有穿透地球大气层或乙太层的自然光束都来自于神圣本源或中央太阳。我可以说在几年里这些光束将被设定为永久存在。
Then there are the Created Rays, created and projected by the Ascended Host-by Those who have raised the body. The latter are the most potent of all Rays because they are consciously manipulated.
然后扬升存有(那些肉体扬升的存有们)将创造及投射这些创造性的光束。这些光束是所有光束中最强大的,因为它们是被有意识地操纵的。
The Rays the scientists are contacting are the Natural Rays, having a certain natural potency.
科学家所接触到的光束是自然光束,具有一定的自然效力。
The great need, as stated in The Magic Presence, is the preparation of earnest students who can be raised and taught the use of these Rays. There are those among you who can do this, and as they are prepared with a determined steadfastness to the Light, they will have more and more of the Law revealed to them concerning the use of these potent Forces.
正如《扬升奥义,神奇的临在》中所述,当务之急是培养认真的学生,培养他们并教导他们如何使用这些光芒。你们当中有人能够做到这点,并且当他们准备好坚定地致力于光,他们将获得越来越多关于如何使用这些强大力量的法则。
I feel a very great joy in the possibilities before you and your students. I trust they can find within themselves the strength and steadfast determination to hold fast to the outer and Inner Work that is being done for them-with a joyous feeling of sureness of the Limitless Powers which true Freedom brings.
我对你和你的学生们面前的无限可能感到非常高兴。我相信他们能够在自己内心找到力量和坚定的决心,来紧紧抓住正在为他们做的外在和内在的工作-带着对真正自由带来的无限力量的喜悦和确定感。
I have from time to time endeavored to give a word of encouragement, and through that, enfold them in the Radiation of Strength which is fearless and dauntless in the Light. The loving, joyous stillness in the attitude of the students is wonderfully encouraging, for the expectant attitude is the right attitude to be maintained.
我不时试图给予一些鼓励的话语,通过这些话语,将他们包围在一种毫无畏惧的力量放射。这种力量在光中坚定而无畏。学生们在态度上的充满爱与喜悦的宁静,是一种令人鼓舞的迹象,期待的态度是应该保持的正确态度。
I would suggest that those who have been having unpleasant experiences would consciously withdraw from those conditions all power they have been giving them, mostly unknowingly. When it is necessary to discuss some condition to understand it, immediately follow by withdrawing any power that has been given it, and then know: "'I AM' the Harmonious Presence, ever pervading whatever the condition may be."
我建议那些家里过不愉快事件的人要有意识地从这些情境中撤回他们所赋予的力量,这些力量大多是无意中给予的。当有必要讨论某些条件来理解它时,立即撤回已被赋予它的任何力量,然后宣告并知晓:“‘我是’和谐的临在,无论情况如何,都始终存在。”
As I have intimated before, and it has only partially reached through, I will repeat it again: Anyone, especially the student, who has experienced inharmony or limitation in his mind, home, or world, can, with persistent, tensionless effort, by holding with determination to the following Statement, keep his home clear of anything undesirable: " 'I AM' the Governing Presence, governing in Perfect Divine Order, commanding Harmony, Happiness, and the Presence of God's Opulence in my mind, my home, and my world."
正如我之前所暗示的,虽然这个信息可能只有部分被理解,我将再次重复一遍:任何人,尤其是学生,如果在他的思想、家庭或世界中经历过不和谐或限制,可以通过坚持不懈的、无紧张的努力,通过坚定地遵守以下声明,让他的家远离任何不受欢迎的东西:“‘我是’统治的临在,以完美的神圣秩序进行统治,在我的思想、我的家和我的心中指挥着和谐、幸福和神的丰盛。”
When I say: "'I AM' the Governing Presence," "I AM" fully, consciously aware that I have set in motion the Full Power and Intelligence of God producing the desired conditions, and that they are thus Self-sustained.
当我说:“‘我是’统治性的临在”,“我是”完全、有意识地意识到我已经启动了神的全部力量和智慧,并产生了所需要的条件,因此它们是自我维持的。
It seems to me that it has not been clearly understood that when you use the expression: " 'I AM the Presence' in my mind, home, and world," you are not only commanding the Conquering Presence of this activity through your own consciousness, but you are calling forth the Assistance of the 'I AM, " or God Presence, into your home and world, of whomever contacts it.
当你使用这样的表达方式:“‘我是临在’在我的心智、家和世界中。” 在我看来,人们还没清楚地理解这句话。你不仅是透过你自己的意识来命令这一活动的统治性临在,而且还在召唤“我是”或神的临在的帮助,进入你的家庭和世界,以及与之接触的所有人。
This is so vital for the student to understand. Do not be discouraged if you do not see immediate manifestation of this harmony which you desire, but go right on feeling the "Conquering I AM Presence." Do you not see that in this Consciousness, there is no other Presence to act, except what you are conscious of? All other activity of the outer which is undesirable is but a distorted activity and use of this Mighty Energy. Therefore, when you say: "'I AM the Conquering Presence'! I command this 'I AM Presence' to govern perfectly my mind, home, affairs and world," you have sent forth the greatest Decree possible to be given; and you have but to feel the Sustaining Power of this in the face of every appearance until you find Perfection manifest in your mind, home and world.
对学生来说理解这点非常重要。如果你未看到你所渴望的和谐没有立即显化,不要灰心,而是继续感受“‘我是’胜利的临在”。难道你没发现在这个意识中,除了你所意识到的之外的,就没有其他存在可以行动吗?所有其他不受欢迎的外在活动都只是这种强大能量的扭曲活动和使用。因此,当你宣告“‘我是’胜利的临在!我命令这个‘我是’的临在完美地管理我的心智、家、事物和世界。”你就已经发出了可能的最强大的命令;你只需要在面对每一种外在活动时感受到这股支持的力量,直到你的心智、家庭和世界中看见完美的显化。
I wish the students would read this particular part every day to keep before them the Mighty Truth underlying these Statements.
我希望学生们每天都阅读这部分,以了解这些宣告背后的强大真理。
Now we come to a vital point, and that is the Personal Ray or Rays sent forth by Jesus direct. Many will ask, why especially Jesus? I answer, because humanity has been taught to look to the Presence of Jesus the Christ, few having any knowledge at all of the Ascended Host of the Great Masters of the Great White Brotherhood who wield limitless Power to assist mankind.
现在我们来到一个关键点,那就是耶稣直接发出的光束。 许多人会问,为什么特别是耶稣呢? 我回答,因为人类被教导要仰望耶稣基督的临在,很少有人对伟大白色兄弟会,伟大的扬升存有有任何的了解,他们拥有无限的力量来帮助人类。
You and your students will have, for the next seven weeks, the Personal Ray of Jesus the Christ. Those who can put aside any thought of other personalities and with open arms, mentally speaking, welcome these Rays into each one's mind, home and world, will find almost anything possible.
接下来的七周里,你和你的学生将会得到耶稣基督的光束。那些能够抛开其他个人的想法并在心灵上张开双臂来欢迎这些光束进入到每个人的心智、家和世界中的人,将会发现所有的一切皆有可能。
I assure all of you that the idea of these Personal Rays of Jesus the Christ is no imaginary thing; and you, Our Beloved Messenger, have the personal thanks of Jesus the Christ for your fearless stand and use of the Ascended Jesus Christ Presence.
我向你们所有人保证,耶稣基督的这些个人光束的概念并非虚构;而是真实存在的。 我们敬爱的使者,耶稣基督对您无畏的立场和对扬升耶稣基督临在的运用表达个人的感谢。
As the Messenger gives forth riches of Wisdom and Truth, so should students, in their loving sincerity to the teacher, through the "I AM Presence," work for the health and prosperity of the Messengers. This would open doors to the students not otherwise possible.
正如使者赐予丰富的智慧和真理一样,学生也应该本着对老师的热爱和真诚,通过“我是临在”,为使者的健康和繁荣而努力。 这将为学生打开原本不可能的大门。
There are indications at this time that during the next seven weeks revelations may be given to some of a certain use of Liquid Light. I wish the students' attention to be fixed on this so that those who are ready may receive. Here let Me say that the right attitude of the student is always to rejoice at the advancement of his or her brother or sister, for each individual receives that which is most needed at the time, and if one receives one thing, another may receive something else. So the student should at no time feel that he should have the same thing that someone else receives. (I mean in regard to revelation.) As no two are alike or of the same state of advancement, you can see how they could not each receive the same thing at the same time.
目前迹象表明,在接下来的七周内,可能会有人获得关于液体光的一种特定用法的启示。我希望学生们的注意力集中在这点上,以便那些准备好的人可以接收。在这里我想说学生的正确态度应该是为他的兄弟或姐妹的提升进步而感到高兴,因为每个个体都会得到当时最需要的东西,如果一个人得到一样东西,另一个人可能会得到其他东西。因此,学生不应该在任何时候觉得自己应该得到与别人相同的东西。(我是指关于启示方面。) 为什么他们不可能在同一时间得到相同的东西,因为没有两个人是一样的,或者处于相同的进展状态,
The most wonderful attitude of the student is to continually bless and rejoice at any revelation that comes to his fellow students, thus keeping the door wide open to that glorious Inner Presence at all times.
学生最美的态度就是不断地祝福和欣喜于他的同学得到的任何启示,从而让那光荣的内在临在敞开大门。
For the encouragement of those interested in aerial transport, I wish to say there is nearing the approach of planes that will be proof against accident. These will make transportation quick, sure, and easy anywhere one wishes to go. The obstructive mental attitude of those interested in aerial navigation which has been opposing the coming forth of this much needed knowledge is rapidly being broken down, until there will come forth a flood, so to speak, of wonderful ideas and Perfection, which can and will be used in this wonderful means of transportation. Many of you will not need them- but there are always those who do-for one's own aerial equipment within him will always far excel any outward conveyance, for the Higher Body is the most wonderful vehicle of aerial transportation there is.
为了鼓励那些对航空运输感兴趣的人,我想说有一种即将面世的飞机将能够防止事故发生。这些飞机将使运输变得快捷、可靠且轻松,任何人想去的地方都可以到达。那些对航空航行感兴趣的人持有阻碍性的想法的话,将反显化这种迫切需要的知识的出现,但这种心态正在迅速瓦解,直到出现一场奇妙的想法和完美的潮流(意识),这些将被用于这种奇妙的交通工具。许多人可能不需要这些外在的飞行工具,因为你们自己内在的飞行工具远远超过任何外在的交通工具,更高级的身体是最了不起的空中运输工具。
Some of my argumentative friends may suggest that this vehicle is not able to carry great loads, but I say to them, how shall ye judge-until ye are able to use this means? It is most amusing to watch the activity of so-called practical minds who feel that there is nothing real except what they can feel and handle; but unless one believes in the Limitless Powers and Laws of Intelligence of God Individualized, he can in no-wise receive to any great extent from this Mighty Inner Presence.
我有些爱争论的朋友可能会说这种车辆不能承载很大的负载,但我对他们说,在你们使用这种方法前,你们是如何判断的呢?看着那些所谓的“实际型”头脑的活动真是非常有趣,他们认为除了他们能感受到和触摸到的东西,其他的都不是真实的;除非一个人相信个体化上帝的无限力量和智慧法则,否则他无法从这种强大的内在临在获得任何重大的收获。
The practical mind that forever doubts a thing it cannot see has a long way to go unless, as you lop off the undesirable limb of a tree, this limb of doubt be cut off. You know, it is a good idea, after it has been cut off, for you to consume it in the Consuming Flame-that it does not come back again. It seems so difficult for the student to realize what a tremendous Power the Consciousness of this Consuming Presence is.
那些永远怀疑看不见的事物的“实际型”头脑还有很长的路要走,除非你像砍掉一颗树的无用树枝一样,将这条怀疑的树枝砍掉。你知道,在它被砍掉之后,用吞噬之火将它烧掉,这样它就不会再回来了。对于学生来说,要认识到这种吞噬意识的临在有多么巨大的力量似乎是非常困难的。
To some it is difficult to get away from the thought that It is imaginary, but could you see from the Inner standpoint, you would see that It has a Mighty Presence and Power, and is very Real.
对于某些人来说,很难摆脱“它是想象的”这个想法,如果你从内在的角度来看,你会发现它具有强大的临在和力量,并且非常真实。
I wish you for about two minutes to feel this Dazzling Ray of Light penetrating every atom of your Being.
我希望你花大约两分钟,感受这道耀眼的光芒穿透你存在的每一个原子。
There should be splendid accomplishment during the next seven weeks. The reaching out of humanity as Christmastime draws near, with the already added impetus of the Christ Force, enables accomplishments to take place at this time which have not before been possible.
在接下来的七周里应该会有辉煌的成就。随着圣诞节的临近,人类的努力加上基督力量的额外推动,使得此时可能实现以前无法实现的成就。
There are certain activities which must be contacted by the Inner Presence before the outer attention can be drawn to them. This is hard for the student to understand. The student must first reach out, and he can only reach out through his Inner Presence.
有些活动必须先由内在本质接触到,之后外在的注意力才能被吸引到这些活动上。这对学生来说很难理解。学生必须首先伸出手去,而他只能通过他的内在本质来达到这一点。
A simple but very wonderful thing is for one to give praise every night and morning for that magnificent Presence of Life which animates the mind and body. It is a tremendous thing to feel deeply this thanks giving for the Presence of Life which holds within Itself all things. Just be grateful to Life for all It is and contains. The very Presence of Life enables Us to do the things we are conscious of and desire to do, because we cannot move without this Presence. We cannot even think without It.
每天早晚赞美那伟大的生命临在,是一件简单又非常奇妙的事情。这种生命本质激发了我们的思想和身体,深切地感恩这种存在是一件极其了不起的事情。它自身包含了一切。对生命的感激之情应当包括对其所有所是和所含之事的感激。生命的这种存在让我们能够做我们意识到并希望做的事情,因为没有这种临在,我们连动一下都做不到。没有它,我们甚至无法思考。
If one would take this Statement: "'I AM the Presence' thinking through this mind and body," he would receive some very remarkable ideas.
如果有人这样宣告:“‘我是临在’透过这个心智和身体在思考”,他将会收到一些非凡的点子。
The brain is the first point where obstruction begins to register, because that is the point of contact with wrong ideas. Wrong ideas register most quickly and intensely in the brain structure because that is the field of atomic activity. However, the attention held upon the "I AM Presence" so releases the Power of the Perfection, which is within the electron at the center of the atom, that the wrong ideas and obstruction to the Light simply dissolve and disappear.
大脑是阻碍开始出现的第一个地方,因为那是与错误想法接触的地方。错误的想法在大脑结构中记录得最快、最强烈,因为那是原子活动的领域。然而,专注于“我是临在”释放了原子中心的电子内的完美力量,错误的想法和对光的阻碍就会简单地溶解并消失。
Q. Don: Where are you going?
A. Saint Germain: To the Golden City.
Don问:你去哪里?
圣哲曼答:黄金城。
From this time on, until three weeks after New Year's Day, it is a time of great rejoicing in the Golden City, for it gives a great opportunity to convey into the physical world, through the Light and Sound Rays, Its own Mighty Radiance. If humanity could understand and appreciate this fact, remarkable things could take place; but that does not prevent individuals who can grasp It from receiving Its remarkable benefit.
从刻起,直到元旦后的三周,这是黄金城将迎来一个巨大的欢乐时刻,因为它提供了一个绝佳的机会,通过光和声音的光束,将其强大的震动传递到物理世界中。如果人类能够理解并欣赏这一事实,那么非凡的事情就会发生;但这并不妨碍那些能够掌握它的人获得其显著的好处。
The very simple thing, if students could only understand and apply it, is to absolutely keep the mind off every personality and know only: " 'I AM' the only Presence there." It would open the doors oh so wide!
这是一件非常简单的事情,只要学生能够理解并应用它就是完全将注意力从每一个人上移开,只知道:“‘我是’是那里唯一的临在”。这将大大开启通往理解的大门。
Love, and a reaching out to an Ascended Being, enable Radiation to be given that would not other wise be possible.
爱,和与扬升存有的接触,使得光束能够被给予,否则这是不可能的。
One cannot long interfere with the progress or growth of another, for if the one obstructing does not release and relax his hold upon the other who is ready to go higher, the obstructing one will be removed by his own action. If one continues to hold steadfast and sincerely to the Light, personalities will be swept aside, or harmoniously disconnected from the individual's world.
一个人不可能长期干扰另一个人的进步或成长,因为如果阻碍者不放开对那些准备提升的人的控制,阻碍者将会因自己的行为而被移除。如果一个人继续坚定而真诚地坚持圣光,那么个性将被清除或和谐地与个人的世界断开联系。
At this state of growth, or rather, expansion of the Light, it is necessary to know: " 'I AM' the Active Presence of all channels of distribution of all things acting for my good." When the thought comes, "This is all I have," nip it in the bud and say: " 'I AM' the opulence of God in my hands and use today." This is the time to stamp it right out of your mind and feelings.
在这种成长状态或者更确切地说,在光的扩展阶段,有必要认知到:“‘我是’我好的面向中一切所有事物分配渠道的活跃性临在。”当你浮现这个想法:“这就是我所拥有的一切”,要立刻扼杀这种念头,并宣告:“‘我是’神的丰盛,今天就在我手中并使用。”是时候将它从你的心智和情感中驱除了。
This must be held as a Sacred Silence within each individual. Take this as a sacred, reverent Knowledge to be used. When you take from the "I AM" Self, it is impossible for you to take anything from any personality which rightfully belongs to that one. You are decreeing for your world, so you cannot take from anyone when knowing your own Law: "I AM the Presence" acting everywhere. There is no possibility of division of the "I AM Presence."
每个人都必须保持这种神圣的静默。 将此视为神圣的、值得尊敬的知识来使用。 当你从“我是”的自我中获取任何东西时,你不可能从任何个体那里拿周真正属于他的一切。“我是临在”不可能被分割。你正在为你的世界下达命令,所以当你了解你自己的法则时,你就不能从任何人那里那走任何东西:“我是临在”无处不在。
If you need money, say: "'I AM' the Active Presence, bringing this money into my hands and use instantly." It is so important to get away from the importance of money. It is but a means of exchange. Do not give it power. Put all your power back with God, and then when you command no matter what it is you want you have all power instantly on hand to bring forth the fulfilment of your Decree.
如果你需要钱,请宣告:“‘我是’活跃的临在,将这笔钱交到我手中供我使用。”重要的是要摆脱对金钱的执念。金钱不过是交换的工具。不要赋予它力量。将所有力量还给神,那么当你下达谕令时,无论你想要什么,你都会立即拥有所有力量来实现你的谕令。
The vibration within any element is always the Breath of God, Eternally Self-sustained. All pulsation is the Breath of God. The simple consciousness that: " 'I AM the Presence' of Perfect Health" is this Breath of God acting.
任何元素内的振动都是神的呼吸,它们永远地自我维持。所有的脉动都是神的呼吸。简单的意识:“‘我是完美健康的临在’”就是作用在神的呼吸。
" 'I AM the Presence' of forgiveness in the mind and heart of every one of God's children." This releases enormous vibratory action after its kind. Hold the following with vividness: " 'I AM' the Pure Mind of God."
“‘我是’每位神的孩子的心智和心灵中宽恕的临在。”这会释放出相应的巨大振动作用。请牢记一下内容:“‘我是’神的纯净心灵。”
BENEDICTION: Thou Infinite, Mighty, Personal Presence, Jesus Christi We give praise and thanks for Thy Radiance, for Thy Intelligent Rays, for Thy Qualifying Presence.
We give praise and thanks that we are conscious of that Special Radiance at this time; and that we may, through the loving open door of our conciousness, receive of Its Mighty Presence.
祝福:祢无限、强大、个人的临在,耶稣基督,我们赞美和感谢祢的光,你智慧的光芒,感谢你个体化的临在。
我们赞美和感谢,在此时此刻我们能够意识到这种特殊的光;并且通过我们意识中那扇满怀爱意的敞开之门,我们接收到祂强大的临在。
