圣哲曼系列 02《神奇的临在》THE MAGIC PRESENCE (part 22)

As each of us said good-night to Leto, it seemed as though a Gossamer Garment of Light enfolded us, and the fragrance of heather which had filled the room all evening clung to us while we retired. We met at breakfast and the Radiance was even greater than the night before. During the course of our conversation, I asked Her why we had been conscious of the fragrance of heather during Her Instruction.

当我们每个人向莱托道晚安时，我们似乎都被一件轻薄的光衣包围着，而在我们休息时，整个房间都充满了石南花的香味。我们在早餐时见面，这光辉甚至比前一天晚上还要大。在我们谈话的过程中，我问她为什么我们在她的教导期间会意识到石南花的香味。

“In the eleventh century,” She explained, “I lived in Scotland, and during an experience of that Life, the memory of heather became very dear. Ever since then, at most unexpected moments, the fragrance of heather radiates very strongly so much so that many times it is noticed by those about me.”

“在十一世纪时，”她解释说，“我住在苏格兰，在那段生命的经历中，对石楠花的记忆变得很珍贵。从那时起，大多在意想不到的时刻，就会有强烈的石楠花的香味散发出来  所以很多时候，我周围的人都会注意到这一点。”

I observed that Leto wore a simple white garment, yet it gave the effect of having a glint of many colors shining through. She answered my thought about it immediately by saying: “This garment I am wearing is a Seamless One, not made with hands, but precipitated direct from Pure Light Substance hence, the glint and Radiance you see. It will never soil nor show wear. It will not be long until each of you will be wearing the same kind of Garment. In the fully awakened, or what you call the Ascended Master Consciousness, we never encumber ourselves with luggage of any kind, for in the ethers all about us is the Pure Substance from which we form everything as we desire to use it.

我观察到莱托穿着一件简单的白色衣服，但却呈现给人一种闪烁着多种色彩的效果。她即刻回答了我的想法，说：“我穿着的这件衣服是那种无缝的，不是由手工缝制，而是直接从纯净的圣光材质沉降而来 因此，你可以看到它闪烁的光彩。它永远不会脏，也不会磨损。用不了多久，你们中的每个人也会穿着同样材质的衣服。在完全觉醒的状态，或者说，在你们所说的扬升大师的意识中，我们永远不会用任何类型的行李来拖累我们，因为在以太中，我们周围的一切都是纯粹的圣光材质，我们可以从这里形成我们想要使用的一切。”

“All we need to do is to bring it into form through holding the conscious attention upon our mental picture, or visualized form. This creates a focus for the concentration and condensation of the Electronic Light in the ether which fills all space everywhere. Our feeling, united with the mental picture, sets up a drawing activity a magnetic pull upon the Pure Electronic Substance. With this feeling there must enter a certain knowledge of how to raise or lower the vibratory rate in the aura around the electron; for the vibratory rate of the aura determines the quality and material of the precipitated article.

“我们需要做的，就是通过将意识的注意力集中在我们心智画面或观想形态上，从而把它带入到外在形态中。这为充满以太空间电子光的集中和凝结创造了一个聚焦点。我们的感觉，与心智中的画面结合起来，会在纯粹的电子物质上建立一种吸引力活动  一种磁性的牵拉。有了这种感觉，同时必须了解如何提高或降低电子周围光环的振动频率，因为光圈的振动频率决定了沉降物的质量和材质。”

“When I use the term electron, I mean an Eternally Pure Heart Center of Immortal Fire a Perfect Balance of Light, Substance and Intelligence around which is an aura of lesser Light that the scientific world calls a force field. The electron is forever changelessly Perfect, but the force field, or aura around it, is subject to expansion and contraction; and this is the determining factor in bringing substance into form from the invisible into the visible. “Because of the inherent intelligence within the electron, it becomes an obedient servant and is subject to the manipulation of the individual who acknowledges his Source of Life by his awareness of the ‘Mighty I AM Presence’ within himself. From this Height of Consciousness, such an individual, by a direct command to the Intelligence within the electron, can release a wave of its Fire to flow out, and cause the force field to expand or contract at his will.

“当我使用电子这个术语时，我指的是一个永生之火的永恒纯粹中心  圣光的完美平衡点，材质和智能环绕着它，形成了一个较小的圣光场域，科学界称之为力场。电子处于永恒不变的完美中，但是环绕着它的光环，会膨胀和收缩；这是把材质从不可见领域带入可见领域形态中的决定性因素。因为电子内在固有的智能，它成为一个服从的仆从，受制于通过意识到自己内在的‘伟大我是临在’来认可自己生命之源的个体的控制。从这样意识的高度，这样的个体，通过直接命令电子内部的智慧，就可以释放出一波电子之火流出，让力场根据自己的意愿扩张或收缩。”

“This is the raising or lowering of the vibratory rate and is the activity that causes the force field to register, or become the quality of the material which he brings into physical form. For illustration, iron has a much lower vibratory rate than Gold, and if one be precipitating Gold, the force field around the electron would naturally be much larger in extent, and hence contain more of the Immortal Fire than would that of iron.

“这就是提升或降低振动频率，就是在力场上留下印记的活动，或者说是成为他带入物质形态的材料的特质。举例来说，铁的振动速率比黄金低得多，如果要去沉降黄金，电子周围的力场自然要大的多，因此，黄金要比铁含有更多的永生之火。”

“In bringing about this sort of manifestation, the vision and feeling must be held steady to produce quick results. It is the work of the student to master himself and maintain the Conscious Control and direction of the energy within his own mind and body. Then he is able to govern the flow of its power through the channels of sight and feeling to a definite objective, and hold it there until the receptacle, which is his mental picture, is filled full of the Living, Luminous Substance from the Universal Fire of Life.

“在进行这种类型的表达时，心智画面和感觉必须要保持稳定，才能产生快速的结果。学生的工作是掌握自己，并保持他自己心智和身体有意识的控制和能量流动。然后他就可以控制其力量的流动 通过视觉和感觉的渠道  来达成一个明确的目标，一直保持在那里，直至接收器，也就是他心智的画面，充满了来自宇宙生命之火的活跃的发光材质。”

“This Instruction is for your use, and you must apply it if you wish to attain any degree of Mastery; for only by use of the knowledge we already have can we utilize that which is still greater. No one can ever attain any degree of Mastery except through the operation of the Great Inner Law of the ‘I AM.’

“这是供你们使用的指导，若是你希望获得任何程度的精通，就必须使用它；因为只有通过使用我们已经拥有的知识，我们才能去利用那更伟大的。除非通过‘我是’的伟大内在法则的运作，否则没有任何人能够获得任何程度的精通。”

“The greatest of all fundamentals is to remember forever that from the lowest to the Highest Being in the Universe, the only Presence and Power which can move or do anything constructive is that Conscious Intelligence which acknowledges its own Being and Manifestation by decreeing ‘I AM,’ followed by whatever quality that Being desires to bring into outer existence. It is the Word of God through which all Creation takes place, and without It, Creation does not take place. Remember, there is only One Power that can move through Creation, and that is the Mighty Electronic Light existing everywhere and interpenetrating all manifestation.

“所有基本原则中最重要的是要永远记住  从宇宙中最低等的存在到最高等的存在，唯一可以移动、或者做任何建设性事情的临在和力量是有意识的智能，通过‘我是’喻令，它承认自己的存在和表达，跟随的是那位存在想要带入外在存在中的各种特性。它是神的话语，所有的创造都通过它发生，没有它，创造就无法发生。请记住，只有一种力量可以穿越造物，那就是无所不在的、渗透于所有显化中的伟大电子圣光。”

“The individual who can say ‘I AM,’ by that Acknowledgment of his own existence, must accept the responsibility of his own Decrees. The Great Creative Principle is everywhere present, the same as the use of the multiplication table, but it takes the individual’s Acknowledgment of his ‘I AM Presence’ to set it into action and fulfill his plan of Life which is Perfection, or Perfect Balance.

“通过承认自己的存在而说出‘我是’的个体，一定要接受他自己喻令的责任。伟大的创造法则无处不在，就像使用乘法表一样，但是它需要个人认可他自己的‘我是临在’，才能将其付诸行动，并实现他的人生计划  那就是完美、完美的平衡。”

“The personality, or outer activity of the individual, is but one focus through which ‘The Magic Presence’ of the ‘I AM’ acts. If the energy of the ‘Mighty I AM’ is qualified by thoughts and feelings that consider only the appetites of the flesh body, the Perfect Balance of the individual’s vehicle is not maintained and is like a wheel off center; hence imperfection and discord is expressed. But if the individual considers the Perfect Balance and makes his Decree include the whole instead of only a part of his universe, he will only follow his Acknowledgment of the ‘I AM Presence’ and the release of Its Power by Decrees that maintain the Perfect Balance. Any decree of Life that accepts less than Limitless Perfection is not the Plan of God and will continue to destroy the forms in which it is focused until the Decree of Full Perfection is expressed. When the student understands this, he will keep joyously radiant and firmly conscious of only his ‘Mighty I AM Presence,’ never allowing his spoken word to go forth decreeing anything less than the Perfection of Life.

“人格、个人外在的活动，仅仅是‘我是神奇临在’发挥作用的一个焦点。如果‘伟大的我是’能量被只考虑肉身欲望的想法和情感所限定，那么个人载具的完美平衡就无法维持，就会像一个偏离中心的轮子，因此不完美和不和谐就被表达了出来。但是如果个人去思考完美的平衡，让他的喻令囊括完整的宇宙，而不是他自己世界的一小部分，他就会只跟随他对‘我是临在’的认可，并通过喻令释放出其力量来保持完美的平衡。任何接受低于无限完美的生命喻令都不是神的计划，会持续摧毁它所关注的形态，直至全然完美的喻令得到表达。当学生理解了这一点时，他就会保持喜悦的光芒，并坚定地只意识到他的‘伟大我是临在’，决不允许他的言语去要求任何低于生命之完美的事物。”

“From Our Height of Consciousness, after having watched mankind for centuries in the struggle through self-created misery and discord, it is amazing how humanity refuses to understand why the minds and bodies of the race continue to grow old, decay and disintegrate, when some of the most materialistic scientists acknowledge that the cell of which the physical bodies are made up is eternally Immortal. The cell contains within it the power to eternally renew and sustain itself because there is Perfect Balance in all its parts. If left to its own activity and sphere, it will continue to maintain that Perfection. The wonder to Us is that the race is content to go through the experience of death, while all the time clinging to youth, beauty and Life, and yet refusing to keep harmonious enough to let it be maintained. The student who will stand at one with his ‘I AM Presence,’ accepting and decreeing only Its Perfection and Great Inner Power, will release Its Flow through the outer activity of mind and body and produce whatsoever he decrees.

“从我们意识的高度来看，目睹了人类几个世纪以来在自己制造的痛苦和不和谐中挣扎之后，令人惊讶的是，当一些最唯物主义的科学家承认构成肉身的细胞是永恒不朽的时候，人类拒绝理解为什么人类种族的心智和身体会持续衰老、腐烂和瓦解。细胞中蕴含着永恒更新和维系自身的力量，因为在它所有的组成中都有着完美的平衡。若是把它留在自己的活动和领域中，它会继续保持这种完美。对我们来说，让人吃惊的是，这个种族满足于经历死亡的体验，与此同时执着于青春、美丽和生命，但是却拒绝保持足够的和谐来维系它。与他的‘我是临在’校准的学生，只接受、并要求它的完美和伟大的内在力量，通过心智和身体的外在活动释放其能量流，产生他所要求的一切。”

“To be able to come and go from the body at will is a necessary step in the student’s Freedom that will lead to many greater Attainments. A part of my Service to humanity is in teaching individuals how to do this a work for which I have a deep Love and natural ability. I am able to convey this idea to others so they too are able to go forth and comprehend Life in a greater measure.

“能够跟随自己的意愿离开身体是通往学生自由的必要步骤，这会带来更多伟大的成就。我为人类服务的一部分就是教导个人如何做到这一点  我对这份工作有着深沉的爱和与生俱来的能力。我能够把这个想法传达给其他人，从而让他们也能够继续前进，并更大程度地理解生命。”

“Within two months you will be able to come and go from your bodies consciously as easily as you now come and go from your home. At first I will assist you until you understand and fix the operation in your consciousness; then you will be able to accomplish what you desire entirely by your own effort. We rarely find several individuals ready for this Instruction at the same time, but because you four are two sets of Twin Rays working together, is this unusual condition explained.

“两个月之内，你们就可以有意识地离开你们的身体，就像你们离开自己的家那样来去自如。首先我们帮助你们，直至你们理解，并在意识中掌握这个操作；然后你们就可以完全通过自己的努力来完成你们的意愿。我们极少发现几人可以同时做好接受这个教导，但是因为你们四人是两组双生光在一起工作，所以这种非同寻常的状况得到了解释。”

“Let us enjoy the sea breeze, the beauty of the night, and the perfect weather which we shall have while crossing; for there are never storms or disturbances where there is a Focus of the Great White Brotherhood. Each Member is a Definite Focus. I have work to do now at a distance, so must leave you until four this afternoon when I will return and be with you at dinner.”

“让我们来享受海风，享受夜晚的美丽，还有我们跨越海洋时的完美天气；因为当存在伟大白色兄弟会圣光聚焦的地方，永远不会有风暴或骚乱。每一位成员都是圣光的焦点。我现在有远方的工作要去做，所以必须离开，下午四点会回来，那时会跟你们共进晚餐。”

I have always enjoyed travel at sea, but this voyage was more than enjoyable, for our association and work with Leto kept us constantly aware of the God Presence. Later in the day I had occasion to chat for a few minutes with the Captain, and he said during his entire fifteen years on the sea he had never had a more marvelous voyage. I could have told him why, but it was the part of wisdom to remain silent.

我总是很喜欢在大海上航行，但是这次旅途带给我们的不仅仅是愉悦，因为我们与莱托的连结和工作，持续地让我们意识到神的存在。当天晚些时候，我有机会跟船长聊了几分钟，他说在他航行的十五年中，从未有过如此美妙的旅行。我本可以告诉他原因，但保持沉默是明智之举。

As we were taking our places at the table for dinner, Leto returned and joined us, saying: “I have joyous information! Splendid things have just been accomplished for the Blessing of humanity. I tell you this much that you may rejoice with me, but later you shall know the full details of it, probably when we arrive in Arabia. It pleases me that you have been able to keep your consciousness so well focused upon ‘The Magic Presence’ of the ‘I AM.’ Tonight before our work begins, I want you to enjoy the sunset with me; for you shall not have another such opportunity for fifty years due to certain Cosmic Activities which as yet you do not understand.”

当我们在餐桌上就座吃饭时，莱托回来加入了我们。她说：“我有让人欣喜的信息！刚刚完成了辉煌的事情来祝福全人类。我告诉你们，这样你们就会跟我一同祝贺，不过稍后你们才会知道它的全部细节，可能会是我们到达阿拉伯的时候。令我愉悦的是，你们能够一直把意识集中在‘我是’‘神奇的临在’之上。今晚，在我们的工作开始之前，我希望你们能够跟我一同欣赏日落；因为由于你们还尚未理解的一些宇宙活动，你们在五十年内不会再有这样的机会。”

Leto had chairs placed on the top deck where we would be undisturbed. When we were all comfortably seated, She continued: “You remember that Beloved Saint Germain said to you, the Sun of this system is to the whole system what the Heart is to the human body, Its Currents of Energy being the blood stream of this system of worlds; the ether belt around this Earth, being the lungs through which the currents of energy, constantly pouring forth, are ever purifying the body of the Earth. The Sun is also the head, or Father of this system, through which this Mighty Energy is constantly generated by the Mighty Intelligence focused there from Glorious Ascended Beings who have charge of and govern that Activity.

莱托让我们把椅子放置在顶层甲板上，这样我们就不会受到打扰。当我们都舒适地坐下后，她继续说：“你们还记得敬爱的圣哲曼对你们说，这个太阳系的太阳对整个太阳系来说，就像是心脏之于人体，它的能量流是世界系统的血流；地球周围的以太带，是不断涌出能量流的肺，持续地净化地球的身体。太阳也是这个系统的头部或天父，通过太阳，集中在这里的伟大智能持续不断地产生的强大能量 伟大的智能来自负责和管理这项活动的荣耀扬升存有。”

“The Sun is not hot as scientists think. It is as cool and a thousand times more refreshing than the gentle zephyrs of the most delightful summer evening. It is only as the Sun’s Currents of Energy pass through the ether belt of the Earth that they become heat. The Sun is the electronic pole, and the Earth is the magnetic pole. The ether belt is the element through which the currents are diversified.

“太阳并不像科学家想象的那么热。它比最宜人的夏日傍晚的和风清爽一千倍。只有当太阳的能量流穿越地球的以太带时，能量流才变热。太阳是电极，地球是磁极。以太带是能量流进行分离的元素。”

“The Christ Mind is embodied in Great Beings upon the Sun similar to the way It is here on Earth. Always keep this in mind: God sent forth His Rays individualizing Himself in order to govern, regulate and direct His Activity through Self-conscious Beings. That is why we, as the Sons of God, are given Free Will choice.

“基督心智体现在太阳之上的伟大存有上，与在地球上相似。永远记住这一点：神发射出他的光芒让自己个体化，从而通过拥有自我意识的存有来进行统治、调节和管理他的活动。这就是为什么，我们作为神之子，被给予自由意志  选择权。”

“By recognizing and accepting fully this Mighty God Power, Love, and Intelligence anchored in us, we become able to express more and more of the Full Power of God in conscious action. Only the most advanced students realize there are Mighty Beings as much beyond the Lord of the Earth as the Lord of the Earth is beyond the ordinary mortal.

“通过充分认识和接受锚定在我们内在的这种伟大的神之力量、爱和智能，我们能够在有意识的行动中表达越来越多的神的全部力量。只有最进化的学生才能意识到，存在着超越地球之主的伟大存在，就像是地球之主超越了普通凡人那般。”

“Now, each of you, withdraw the consciousness from your body and place it fully upon the Sun. Partly close your eyes and then wait.” We sat very still for almost twenty minutes and then went forth as a group, Leto leading the way. She became Dazzling and Radiant. Deeper and deeper we entered into the Intense Light of that Great Focus of Cosmic Light, and presently became aware that we were approaching the Globe Itself. The Radiance which It emitted gave one a feeling of great exaltation with a glowing sensation of Peace and Power. The nearer Leto drew, the brighter became Her Radiance.

“现在，你们每个人把意识抽离身体，把它完全集中在太阳上。闭上你们的双眼，然后等待。”我们一动不动地坐了大约二十分钟，然后我们作为一个团体向前走出，莱托在前面带路。她变得闪耀、光芒四射。我们越来越深入地进入宇宙圣光伟大焦点的强烈的光芒中，然后我们开始意识到，我们正在接近太阳自身那个球体。它散发出的光芒给人一种极大的提升感，并伴随着一种和平与力量的闪耀之感。莱托越是靠近，她的光芒就变得越明亮。

We then approached a magnificent City called the “City of the Sun.” Within it were wonderful, Perfected Beings like ourselves, except Their Bodies were slightly larger than those of our humanity but Their Radiance and Beauty were transcendent beyond words. Presently we found ourselves receding. The Glorious City began to fade from view, the Indescribable Light grew less, and then we heard Leto speaking, commanding us to return with Her. With a sudden shock, we were conscious again of our physical bodies.

我们到达了一座宏伟的城市，被称作“太阳之城”。在其中有美妙的完美存有  这些存有很像我们，不过他们的身体比我们人类的身体稍大一些  但是他们的光芒和美丽超越了言语的形容。接下来我们发现自己正在慢慢远离。光辉的城市开始从视野中淡出，那难以形容的圣光正在减弱，然后我们听到莱托讲话，命令我们跟她一同返回。突然间，我们再次意识到我们的物质身体。

“A grand success,” She said smilingly. “I have brought this about that each may bear witness to the others of what you have seen, for in this is tremendous strength. The concept which mankind has that the Sun is a focus of great heat is absurd and infantile. The Truth is that the tremendous Rays of Energy which it sends forth to its system of planets are not heat rays at all, but Rays of Electronic Energy which only become heat as they contact and penetrate the atmosphere of the Earth. The atmosphere surrounding our planet is a force field produced by the rays of magnetic force sent forth from the center of this planet, and when the Rays of Electronic Energy from the Sun touch these, we have the phenomena in our atmosphere that we call heat and Light from the Sun.”

“非常成功，”她微笑地说。“我带来这次体验，是为了让每个人向其他人见证你们所看到的一切，因为这其中蕴藏着巨大的力量。人类认为太阳是高温焦点的观念是荒谬和幼稚的。事实是，它向太阳系的其他行星发射的巨大能量射线根本不是热射线，而是电子能量射线，只有在接触和穿越地球大气层的时候才会变成热量。我们地球周围的大气层是由从地球中心发出的磁力射线产生的力场，当来自太阳的电子能量射线触碰到它时，地球大气层就会出现我们称之为来自太阳的光和热现象。”

We enjoyed the twilight on deck until seven-thirty and then went to Leto’s stateroom. We took our places in five reclining chairs which She had provided for our use in which the body was perfectly poised and at ease. Then Leto began Her Instruction.

我们在甲板上欣赏黄昏美景一直到七点三十分，然后就去了莱托的客舱。我们坐在她为我们提供的五张椅子上 我们的身体处于完美的平衡和放松状态。然后莱托开始了她的指导。

“Focus your attention on the Heart for a moment,” She explained. “Then raise it to the top of the head. Keep it there without change and let the following be your only thought: ‘Mighty I AM Presence which I AM, ‘ now take charge in Full Mastery of this body. See that I go and come from it consciously and at will. Never again can it bind me or limit my Freedom. “

“把你们的注意力集中在心轮一段时间，”她解释说。“然后把意识提升到头顶。让意识牢固地保持在那里，让下面这句话成为你唯一的想法：‘伟大的我是临在’，也就是‘我是’，现在请完全地掌控这具身体。让我有意识地从其中来去自如。它再也不能束缚我，再也不能限制我的自由。”

 It could not have been more than three minutes until we stood before our bodies, free consciously free in bodies of substance, but finer than that of the physical body. In these we were more clearly alert and free than we had ever been in the physical.

不到三分钟，我们就都站在了我们的身体前，自由自在地 有意识地自由自在  处于多维度身体中，不过这些身体的材质要比肉身更加精细。在这些身体中，我们也比在肉身中更加警觉和自由。

“Come with me,” said Leto, and instantly we passed out of the room over placid waters and went direct to Her home in Paris. We saw and greeted Her Master. Then we continued our journey to the Home of the Brotherhood in Arabia which we visited later. When we returned near our bodies, She spoke again: “Wait we are going to do this consciously,” She directed. She went to each body as it lay in the chair and touched the forehead. Immediately the body stood up, yet looked as if asleep. Then She gave the necessary direction, which I may not give here, and we were again fully conscious in our bodies. The whole experience was different from anything we had ever lived through before, and it left us with a certain indescribable confidence that we could do it again. We tried to thank Her, but She raised Her hand for silence.

“跟我来，”莱托说，即刻，我们立刻穿过平静的水面走出房间，直接到达她在巴黎的家。我们看到、并问候了她的上师。然后我们继续前往白色兄弟会位于阿拉伯的家。当我们回到我们的肉身附近时，她又说话了：“等等，我们要有意识地这么去做，”她指示道。她走到椅子上的每一具身体前，触碰它的前额。即刻，身体站了起来，不过仿佛睡着了一样。然后她给出了必要的指示，我还不能写在这里，接下来我们就在自己的身体中再次完全清醒过来。整个经历与我们以前体验过的任何事情都不同，它给我们留下了某种难以形容的信心，让我们相信我们可以再次做到这一点。我们想要感谢她，但是她举起手，示意我们安静。

“Love serves, because it is the nature of Love to give, and it is not concerned with nor does it expect acknowledgment of its Gifts. However, your gratitude is beautiful and well known to me. Just try to become the Love that does not wish to possess, for then Love is truly Divine.”

“爱是服务性的，因为爱的本质是给予，它不在意、也不期待别人对其礼物馈赠的认可。但是，你们的感激之情是美丽的，对我来说是已经知晓的了。努力成为那不期待去占有的爱，那时，爱才是真正神圣的。”

The following days were filled with joy, beauty, repose and peace as we watched the sunlit waters by day, and at night the wonderful moonlight, until one’s very being breathed praise and gratitude for the happiness of just being alive.

接下来的几天充满了欢乐、美丽、宁静与平和，白天我们看着阳光照耀的海面，晚上看着美妙的月光，直至一个人的呼吸充满了对纯粹活着的幸福的赞美与感激。

The boat docked at Cherbourg, and following Leto as She led the way, we went to the waiting autos and were driven to Paris, Pearl and Nada riding in Her car, and Bob, Rex, and I in the second one. When we arrived at Her home in Paris, Her Master greeted us in His Gracious, Courtly Manner:

船停靠在了瑟堡，莱托带路，我们跟着她走向等候着我们的汽车，开往巴黎。珀尔、娜达乘坐她坐的车，雷克斯和我在第二辆车上。当我们到达她在巴黎的家时，她的上师以他亲切、礼貌的方式迎接了我们。

“It is Our Great Joy,” He said, “to have you make this your home as long as you wish, and We want you to feel just as free to come and go as if you were in your own home in America.”

“我们非常高兴，”他说，“只要你们愿意，就可以把这里当作自己的家，我们希望你们能像在美国自己的家中一样来去自如。”

The next few days we spent with these Blessed Masters learning many wonderful things and receiving some insight into the Marvelous Work of the Great White Brotherhood. Its Stupendous Power, Inner Working and Accomplishment simply stagger the intellect of one unaccustomed to this kind of Knowledge.

接下来的几天，我们与这些受到祝福的上师一起度过，学习到了很多奇妙的事情，并获得了对伟大白色兄弟会神奇工作的一些深刻见解。它惊人的力量、内在的运作和成就，会震惊不习惯这种知识的人的头脑。

We were placed under definite training, and Leto, after finishing our Instruction for the day, showed us the places of interest in the afternoon. Not a moment was wasted, as She said we were to leave soon for Arabia and that She expected the call within a week.

我们接受了明确的训练，莱托在完成对我们当天的指导后，下午带我们看了很多名胜。没有一刻钟的时间被浪费，因为她说我们很快就要前往阿拉伯，她预期一周内就会收到邀请。

While visiting the Louvre, Leto showed us a painting by a young artist who had painted a picture called “The Union of Two Souls.” It was intended to portray the Union of the Twin Rays and was a marvelous conception, a wonderful work of art.

在参观卢浮宫时，莱托向我们展示了一位年轻艺术家的画作，那副作品名为《两个灵魂的结合》。其目的是描述了双生光的结合，是一个奇妙的构想，一幅美妙的艺术创作。

“We are watching,” She said, “for an opportunity to see if this artist can be awakened to the Inner Wisdom after having received such an interpretation of his idea. In the midst of his work he unknowingly shut the door to the inspiration he had received at the beginning, and My Master, seeing the need, gave the necessary Assistance which reestablished his contact with his Divine Inspiration and enabled him to complete the picture. It was unknown, of course, to him, but the marvelous painting you see before you was the result.

“我们正在观察，”她说，“在寻找一个机会，看这位艺术家在接收到对自己想法的解读后，是否能够唤醒他内在的智慧。在他创作时，他不知不觉地关上了他在最初接收到灵感的大门。我的上师，看到了这样的需求，就给予了必要的帮助，重新建立了他与神圣灵感的连结，从而让他可以完成这幅画作。当然，这些对他来说是未知的，但是你面前看到的这幅奇妙的画作就是帮助的结果。”

“Often an artist, musician, writer, inventor, and many other individuals doing creative work are given such Assistance from the Ascended Masters of which those receiving the Help know nothing. This sort of Activity is one way in which We work impersonally.”

“通常，艺术家、音乐家、作家、发明家以及其他从事创造性工作的个人都会从扬升大师那里得到这种帮助 而那些接收到此帮助的人对此一无所知。这种活动是我们非个人化工作的一种方式。”

We attended one Meeting of the Great White Brotherhood to which Members came from all over the world, among them being Gaylord’s Friend whom I had met when Gaylord was abducted to Paris. It was a never-ending source of joy to know of the important Work being accomplished by the Members of the Great White Brotherhood, entirely unknown to the outer world. Many sincere people who wish to live the constructive way of Life are Members of this Brotherhood at the Inner Levels long before they become aware of it in the outer senses.

我们参加了一次伟大白色兄弟会的会议，兄弟会的成员来自世界各地，其中包括盖洛德的朋友，我是在盖洛德被绑架到巴黎时认识的他。知晓伟大白色兄弟会的成员正在完成的工作是一种永无止境的快乐源泉，外部世界对这些工作一无所知。许多真诚的人希望过上建设性的生活，早在他们外在感官中意识到这一点之前，他们在内在层面就已经是这个兄弟会的成员了。
