圣哲曼系列 03《“我是”开示 》THE“I AM” DISCOURSES （part 18）
DISCOURSE XVII
INVOCATION: Thou Mighty Infinite Presence, All-Pervading Intelligence, All-Pervading Substance of Light, Thou Mighty Presence, Thou Ascended Jesus Christ now manifest through His Mighty Radiance! We give praise and thanks unto the Light, unto Thee, 0 Mighty Brother! We give praise unto the Central Sun to the One from whose Ray we receive today.
祈请：伟大的无限临在，无所不在的智慧，无所不在的光之实体，伟大的临在，扬升的耶稣基督现在通过他的强大照耀显化！我们赞美并感谢光，感谢祢，伟大的兄弟！我们向中央太阳，赞美今天我们接收给予我们光的那一位。
Out of the fullness of Thy Radiant Life, O God, we bow in adoration before Thy Mighty Presence.
从祢光辉生命的丰满中，神啊，我们在祢伟大的临在前俯伏敬拜。
I bring you Greetings from the Great Master or God Meru, whose Messenger is Nada. He is to one great mountain of this earth, whose mystery shall one day be explained, as the Master Himalaya is to the Himalayan range. Nada is with Me in the Golden City upon whose Twin Rays We come forth today.
我从大师或梅鲁神带来问候，他的使者是娜达。他就像这地球上的一座伟大山峰，其奥秘将有一天被解释，正如大师喜马拉雅属于喜马拉雅山脉一样。娜达与我同在金色城市，我们今天从其双光线中来到这里。
During these next seven weeks, as designated and as you have felt, Our joint Ray shall come to you each time from the Golden City.
在接下来的七周内，如你所感受到的，我们共同的光线将每次都从金色城市到达你那里。
THE DISCOURSE
When the students are strong enough to bear it, We will bring forth in descriptive expression one of the most stupendous expressions of the right use and wrong use of this "Mighty I AM Presence." This actual experience took place in what is now the Andes Mountains in South America at a remote period when the Children of God first began to forget their Source, and to claim the Mighty Energy of which they were aware as their own. Only through that authority could such an experience take place.
当学生们足够坚强以承受时，我们将以描述性的表达方式，呈现出关于这个“伟大的我是临在”正确与错误使用的最惊人的表述之一。这一实际经历发生在现在的南美洲安第斯山脉，在一个遥远的时期，当时神的孩子们开始忘记他们的源头，并开始声称他们所意识到的伟大能量为己有。只有通过那样的权威，这样的经历才可能发生。
Students and mankind have but a small conception, even in the distress they have created for themselves, of how mightily this force was used at one time for selfish purposes. A similar condition has never before been known. There still remains today the subterranean city which will be described and in which this activity took place.
以前从未发生过，学生们和人类对于这种强大的力量曾经被用于自私的目的，而给自己创造了痛苦的情况只有小小的概念。今天仍然保留着地下城，我们将描述其中发生过的事情。
Oh, that the Children of God would awaken to the Stupendous Activity that the Powers of Light use for the good of humanity when their attention is sincerely focused on that Light.
哦，但愿神的孩子们能够觉醒并意识到当他们注意力真诚地集中在圣光的时后，光的力量就会以惊人的行动为人类带来更多的福祉。
If the many students of the various angles of Truth on the earth today could put away the ignorance of the outer mind and believe in the seeming miracles all down the ages, how it would break the shell of the outer self and let in the Light. The faith to believe in the things not seen is one of the greatest means to open the door to the conscious activity of the Light of the "I AM Presence."
地球上有许多不同角度去看真理的学生，如果他们能够放下外在心智的无知并相信历代以来看似奇迹的事物，那将打破外在自我的躯壳并使得圣光得以进入。相信看不见的事物之信念是打开“我是临在“的光之意识的行动之门最伟大手段之一。
As you use the automobile and airplane to cover distance quickly, so does the "Great I AM Presence" use the body. The body represents the airplane, and the mind is the mighty motor through which the "I AM Presence" propels it.
当你使用汽车或飞机来高速移动时，伟大的“我是临在”也是如此使用这个身体的。我们的身体代表飞机，而心灵则是强大的引擎，“我是临在”透过它来推动飞机。
Students, I am sure, have not understood how subtle a form doubt takes at times. Where there is a questioning in the mind, knowingly or unknowingly, concerning the All-Power of the "I AM Presence," it is a subtle form of doubt. Those who want or attempt to argue the question of the Reality of the Great Truth of Life, whether they believe it or not, are admitting doubt into their lives.
我相信，学生们还没理解怀疑采取的微妙形式。只要心中有关对“我是临在”无限力量的疑问，无论是有意识还是无意识地，都是怀疑的微妙形式。那些想要或试图讨论生命伟大真理的真实性的人，无论他们是否相信，他们都在生活中引入了怀疑。
In this day, no sincere, reasoning mind, once turning its attention and keeping it firmly fixed on the "I AM Presence," can argue, doubt, or question the Omnipotence of that "I AM Presence."
如今，任何真诚、理性的头脑一旦将注意力转向并集中地固定在“我是临在”上，就无法争论、怀疑或质疑“我是临在”的全能。
The scarcely recognizable form of doubt that lets into the mind argument concerning the Source of its Being is but a lack of strength to stand up against the Law of Resistance- by which growth in the outer can be measured.
那些难以觉察到的怀疑的形式，让心智中充满了对其存在的源头的争论，这只是缺乏力量去抵抗阻力法则的表现，而这个法则是用来衡量外在成长的。
There is a vast difference between sincere questioning to know the Truth and the human propensity to argue against the very Reality they want to believe. We always welcome most earnestly, sincere questioning for Truth; but We will have nothing to do with that nature whose dominating propensity is to argue against the Reality of Truth. The more the argument of Truth is admitted into the Life of an individual, the greater the barrier that one sets up to surmount before the distant day when he does surmount it.
真诚地质疑以求知真相与人类倾向于反对他们想要相信的真相之间有着巨大的区别。我们始终热诚地欢迎对真理的真诚质疑；但我们与那种主导性倾向是对真理实际存在进行辩论的本性无关。当一个人对真理的辩论越多，他在突破这个障碍之前，所设立的障碍就越大，直到他最终突破它的那一天。
The students who criticize, condemn, or sit in judgment upon this channel of the Truth's expression will surely find themselves standing upon the edge of a precipice into which they may plunge at any time- for no reason in the world except their own creation.
批评、谴责或评判这一真理表达渠道的学生肯定会发现自己站在悬崖边缘，他们随时可能会跌入悬崖，除了他们自己的创造之外，没有任何原因。
I wish all to understand: This Radiance of the Light has been established for a certain divine Purpose; and It will go forth doing Its Work regardless of any personality, or of all personalities in existence. I say this plainly that the students of this Radiation may understand they are dealing with Mighty Forces which are as Real as Reality can be; and those who cannot stand the test and Radiance of the Light need never, never blame anyone but themselves; for they have free will and are given the use of the "Mighty I AM Presence" by which they can maintain absolute Self-control.
我希望所有人都明白：这个光之照耀已为了某个神圣的目的而建立； 无论任何个性或所有已存在的个性如何，它都会继续做它的工作。 我明确地说这一点，是为了让被这个照耀的学生们明白，他们正在处理的是强大的力量，这些力量与现实一样真实；而那些无法经受住光之辉煌和考验的人，永远不应该责怪任何人，只能责怪自己；因为他们有自由意志，并且被赋予了“强大的‘我是’临在”来维持绝对的自我控制。
I must put plainly before them again: the sure way that they run into deep waters of doubt and questioning is when they are foolish enough to attempt to discuss the Sacred Truth which is being given them for their own liberation and use with those who know nothing about it.
我必须再次明确告诉他们：当他们愚蠢到试图与那些对此一无所知的人讨论他们自己的解脱和使用的神圣真理时，他们就会陷入怀疑和质疑的深渊中。
This much I may say to you: in the past, students who were taken into the Retreats for instruction were never permitted, nor do they ever think of discussing the Truth with each other. They silently, earnestly apply the instruction of their teacher, and the results they desire are certain to follow.
我可以告诉你的是：在过去，那些被带入隐修院接受指导的学生从未被允许，也从未想过与他人讨论真理。他们默默地、认真地应用他们老师的指导，并期待他们肯定会实现的结果。
Better were the students stoned in the streets than to condemn, criticize, or judge the Light that is given them; for if they will enter into the "I AM Presence" as directed, every question, every problem in their lives will disappear as the mist before the radiance of the morning sunlight.
学生们被在街上被丢石也比谴责、批评或评判赋予他们的光更好；因为如果他们按照指导进入“我是临在”，他们生活中的每一个问题、每一个困难都将如晨曦的光芒前的薄雾般消失。
I take it that all the students are strong enough to hear the Truth and use the Strength of the "I AM Presence" to govern and control the outer, so they may receive the full Presence, Love, Wisdom, Power and Opulence of the Great and Mighty "I AM Presence," which enables them to think, to feel, to live, and which has given them the desire to reach for the Truth- the Light.
我认为所有学生都足够强大到能够听到真理并运用“我是临在”的力量去征服和掌控外在，这样他们就能够获得伟大而强大的“我是临在”的完整临在、爱、智慧、力量和富裕。这使他们能够思考、感受、生活，并让他们拥有追求真理的光。
I wish to say plainly and with the "Wand of Fire" placed in the consciousness of the students, that this Brother and Sister who are giving this forth are but Messengers of Those who have known and proved this Law for many centuries. These Great Beings to whom your attention has been drawn are no myth no figment of the imagination of the outer, but Living, Wise, Loving Beings, possessing such Power which They may wield or use at Their own discretion, that it is not possible for the human mind to conceive It.
我想用学生们意识中的“火之杖”来清楚地说，这位正在传授法则的兄弟姐妹只是那些在许多世纪以来已经知道并证明了这法则的使者。 你们所关注的这些伟大存有并不是神话，也不是外界想象的虚构，而是活生生的、智慧的、充满爱的存在，拥有他们可以自行决定运用或使用的力量，这是人类思想不可能想象的。
Always before there has been great, almost limitless time in which the student could wander about making his decision whether he wished to act in the Light or wander on in ignorance of Its Mighty Presence and Power. The Cosmic Cycles have turned, again, again, and again, until the time has come when the children of God must make their decision final whom they will serve.
在此之前，总是有一段伟大的、几乎无限的时间，学生可以在其中徘徊做出决定，是希望在圣光中行动，还是在对圣光强大临在和力量的无知中继续徘徊。 宇宙周期一次又一次地转动，直到上帝的孩子们必须最终决定他们将为谁服务的时刻到来。
Never in the history of the world has there been such opportunity or instance given to the children of earth to face the "Sunshine of God's Eternal Light" and walk steadfastly and fearlessly into Its Radiant Splendor free, forever free from all limitation living in the Abundance of that Light enfolding them like a mantle of peace and rest.
世界历史上从未有过如此机会或时刻，给予地球的子民面对“神的永恒之光的阳光”，坚定而无畏地走进其辉煌的光芒中，永远摆脱一切限制，生活在那束平和与安息的光芒中。
Again I say to the beloved students: If you cannot feel in your hearts the Truth of these Instructions brought to you on a golden platter, then don't ever, in the Name of your "I AM Presence," say or do that which would discourage another from the Light he might receive. The plain, unadulterated Truth I give to you in the fullness of the Great Love of My Being, that Its Radiance may cause you to understand and know what it means to dare, to do, and to be silent.
我再次对亲爱的学生们说：如果你们不能在心中感受到这些金盘上带给你们指引的真理，那么永远不要以你们的“我是临在”的名义说或做一些事情去阻止另一个人接受她可能接受的光。我以我充沛的伟大之爱赐予你纯粹、未经掺杂的真理，愿其照耀使你理解并知晓敢于、行动、和保持沉默意味着什么。
Any feeling of questioning in your minds of the Reality or genuineness of the Source of your Instruction but hampers your progress and causes you to require months or years to accomplish what you might easily do in a few weeks with a free, peaceful mind.
你们心中对指导的来源的真实性或真实性的任何疑虑感只会妨碍你们的进步，并使你们需要几个月甚至几年的时间来完成几个星期内就能轻松完成的事情，这需要一个自由、宁静的心态。
As One who has chosen you, I know and feel your every thought. It is very easy at times for the student to think that his acts or thoughts are under cover and not known, but to the Ascended Host there is no act or thought that can be hidden from Them, because everything you think or feel is registered in the etheric world about you, as plain as the nose on your face.
作为选择了你们的人，我知道并感受到你们的每一个想法。对于学生来说，有时会觉得自己的行为或想法被掩盖起来而不为人知，但对于已经扬升存有来说，没有任何行为或想法能够隐藏，因为你们所思所感的一切都被记录在你们周围的以太世界中，就像你们脸上的鼻子一样明显。
So do not ever make the mistake of feeling that you may think or act in secret. You may readily do this from the outer self, but never from the "I AM Presence," which the Ascended Host are with no obstruction. This, My Dear Beloved Students, is as far as I am permitted to go in helping to set up the guard for you. In the future no further reference to this will be made. Remember that the decision lies within you to go forward or not.
因此，永远不要以为可以隐藏自己犯错的想法或行为。你们可以从外在意识很容易做到这点，但永远不能从“我是临在”中做到，扬升存有对此没有任何阻碍就能知道。我亲爱的学生们，这就是我被允许帮助你们设立的警戒范围。今后将不再提及此事。请记住，是否继续这样的行为决定权在你手中。
Now I shall say something very encouraging. The only possible reason why the Personal Ray of Jesus could be given forth to those under this Radiation at this time was because seven of this group of students were witness to the Ascension of Jesus the Christ two thousand years ago. He saw and recognized them then, as He sees them and is giving not only recognition at this time, but Great Assistance.
现在，我想说些非常鼓励的话。在此时能被耶稣个人之光照耀的人们，唯一可能的原因是因为这群学生中有其人见证了两千多年前耶稣基督的扬升。他当时看到并认出了他们，正如他现在看到他们并不仅仅是现在给予的承认，而是给予了巨大的协助。
As this Radiance goes to you, Beloved Ones, so does It go on reaching into the hearts of those who can receive the Presence. Because of this Radiation, many who have a deep Love for Jesus, or of Jesus, through the orthodox channels, will be awakened to the Presence of the God within. Outside of this, the joint Activity of Jesus with the Ascended Host is spreading its Mantle of Love, Peace and Light over humanity, this being the time of year when their attention is most easily gained.
当这照耀照在你身上时，亲爱的人们，祂也在不断地触及那些能够接受这份存在的人们的心。因为这照耀，透过正统渠道许多对耶稣基督有深厚的爱的人们将被唤醒，并意识到内在神的临在。除此之外，扬升的大能之间的共同活动正在将他们的爱、和平和光明的披风覆盖在人类之上，这是他们最容易引起注意的时候。
Beloved Ones! Does it sound incredible to you when I say the Masters of Light and Wisdom have passages through the earth in all directions, just the same as you have highways for your automobiles in going from coast to coast on the earth?
亲爱的！当我说光明和智慧的大师们在地球的各个方向都有通道，就像你们在地球上从一海岸到另一海岸行驶汽车时所使用的高速公路一样，这对你们听起来是否令人难以置信？
Did you understand the atomic structure of the earth, you would not feel this such an incredible thing, for those Great Ones who have assisted the progress of humanity from the beginning have but to use certain Rays, and They walk through the earth as easily as you would walk through the water-different however, in that They leave the opening behind them, while in your walking through the water, it closes behind you and the path is not apparent.
如果你理解了地球的原子结构，你就不会觉得这是不可思议的事情了，因为那些从一开始就在帮助人类进步的伟大存在只需要运用某些射线，就可以像你在水中行走一样轻松地穿过地球。不同之处在于，他们在走过的地方会留下开口，而在你行走水中时，水会在你身后关闭，路径不会显现出来。
Just so with the Great Beings who have blazed the trails for humanity into the Light. The trail remains that those children of lesser Light may always find the Pathway and follow it. If at times they should make a mistake and turn on to the byway, they have the "I AM Presence" to call them back to the main power and carry them forward, until they too may be Torch Bearers, or Trail-Blazers to those still following on.
正如伟大的存有为人类开辟通往光的道路一样。这条路径仍然存在，以便那些较少光的孩子们能够找到这条路径并跟随它。如果有时他们犯了错误，走上了歪路，他们仍有“我是存在”的力量把他们召回到主要力量，并将他们带向前，直到他们也能成为那些还在跟随的人的火炬手或开路者。
"'I AM the Mighty Presence,' who never becomes impatient nor discouraged at the long periods in which the children of earth turn aside from the Light, enjoying the sense activities until they become so repellent to them that with almost their last breath they cry aloud: 'O God save me.'"
“‘我是强大的临在’，在地球的孩子们远离圣光、享受感官活动的漫长时期里，我永远不会变得不耐烦或灰心，直到他们变得如此排斥这些活动，以至于他们几乎在最后一口气时哭泣大声说：‘神啊，救救我。’”
I cannot help but smile to Myself as I wonder how some of you may think Me a very crabby old fellow but if so, one who has the courage to tell you the Truth of your needs, that you may profit by it. When you come to know Me better, you will not think Me such an old crab after all.
我禁不住对自己微微一笑，想着你们中的一些人可能认为我是一个非常暴躁的老家伙，但如果是这样的话，那是一个有勇气告诉你们自己需要的真相，这样你们就可以从中受益的人。当你们更了解我时，你们就不会认为我是个那么讨厌的老古板了。
So long as the student has a questioning in the mind, he does not open himself to the Truth of the Instruction fully.
只要学生心中存有疑问，他就不会完全敞开心扉接受教导的真理。
If it is seen that it is worthwhile, determined entirely by the up reaching of humanity to the Light, then the Natural Rays are made permanent to the earth and placed within the center. The earth is composed of earth, water, and air. The Rays are the Cosmic Fire interpenetrating all the three other elements. The Rays pass through the earth, and where they interlock, they soften and form this Luminous Substance, or Radiance the concentrated Activity of the Light.
One Ray enters the crust of the earth at a point just south of the center of the Gobi desert, and the other one enters just east of Lake Titicaca in the Andes Mountains. It is the largest lake in South America and the highest in the world. It was a point of very great importance centuries ago.
如果被认为这是值得的，自然的光束要永久地赋予地球并放在其中心，这完全取决于人类对光的向往。地球是由土、水和空气组成。这些光束是宇宙之火，贯穿了其他三种元素。光束会穿过地球，在它们交错的地方软化并形成这种发光物质，或照耀，即光的集中活动。其中一条射线从戈壁沙漠中心偏南的某点进入地壳，另一条光束从安第斯山脉的提提卡卡湖东部进入地壳。这是南美洲最大、世界上海拔最高的湖泊。几个世纪前，它曾是一个非常重要的地点。
These are the two most intense points of Light in the earth. There is always a Cosmic Activity taking place at certain cycles which may not be interfered with. The Great Cosmic Laws are exact to the minutest detail, and there is no such thing as failure nor accident connected with them.
这两个点是地球上最强烈的光点。在某些周期中，总是存在着无法干预的宇宙活动。伟大的宇宙法则精确到最微小的细节，与它们相关的事情没有失败或意外。
A great change which takes great quantities of people out of the body only takes them where they cannot fight for awhile. In the World War, both sides hated the men they were sent against, and also the governments that sent them, because of being sent.
这种重大变化将大量人群带出肉体，只是让他们在某段时间内无法战斗。在世界大战中，双方都憎恨派往对方的士兵，也憎恨派遣他们的政府，因为他们被派遣出去。
Never consider anything in the world but the "Great I AM Presence." Watch and govern your feeling, for if you do not, it will lead to a point where it will catch you unawares.
除了“伟大的我是临在”之外，永远不需要考虑世界上的任何事情。注意和控制自己的感觉，因为如果不这样做，它会导致你在毫无防备的情况下受到影响。
Many times, the student who knows the Law, when something comes up and he is disappointed, should tum to the "I AM Presence" immediately and ask what is to be done; but instead he so often holds the attention on the disappointment, and then it sometimes almost takes an earthquake to shake him loose from it.
很多时候，了解法则的学生，当事情发生而他感到失望时，应该立即转向“我是临在”并询问该怎么办； 但相反，他常常把注意力集中在失望上，有时几乎要经历一场地震才能让他摆脱这种失望。
Take the Statement: "This resistance must give way, and the sight and hearing must come through."
以此宣告：“这种阻力必须让步，视觉和听觉必须通过。”
Take the firm Statement: " 'I AM' the Presence of your Perfect sight and hearing" to heal those conditions. Each should take the statement: " 'I AM' my Perfect sight and hearing."
采用坚定的宣告：“‘我是’祢完美的听力和视力的临在”来治愈这些情况。每个人都应该采用这个宣告：“‘我是’我完美的视力和听力。”
The Arabian Nights' Tales: They originally came from the Masters, who gave them out as a veiled Truth to help humanity, and those who believed them through faith received marvelous manifestations.
《一千零一夜》的故事，它们最初来自大师，这故事被大师将它们作为隐晦的真理传达出去，用以帮助人类，而那些通过信仰相信它们的人得到了奇妙的显化。
In the beginning of these marvelous experiences, there must be faith to tide over, until we can manifest the Reality, for faith is the Sustaining Power, and if we can keep it generated, it becomes Reality.
在这些奇妙体验的开始，必须有信仰来度过难关，知道我们能够显化真实的实相，因为信仰是维持的力量，如果我们能够保持信仰，它就会变成现实。
There are always the two activities of the Law when you get deep enough into the action of it. They are: first, condensation, and second, etherealization. Go serenely along, and do not let time, place, nor things interfere. The outer mind must be calm and steady, and the outer and Inner Will must become one. As the attention is fixed on it with firm determination, more and more of the Inner Operation is revealed, until you can consciously manipulate it.
当你足够地深入了解法则的作用时，法则总是有两种活动。它们是：一，凝聚、二，精神化。要沉着行事，不要让时间、地点或事物干扰。外在的思维必须平静稳定，外在和内在的意志必须合而为一。当坚定地将注意力集中在上面时，越来越多内在的运作就会显露出来，直到你能有意识地操控它。
BENEDICTION: Presence of Meru, Nada, and the Great Ascended Host, we give praise and thanks for Thy Radiant Splendor, for Thy Wisdom, for Thy Substance which Thou art generating to make visible. We give praise and thanks that Thy Great Wisdom and Intelligence are ONE with the "Great I AM," which "I AM," ever bringing more of Itself forward into conscious action. We give praise and thanks that in the acknowledgment of the "I AM Presence," we have the Key to all things visible and invisible.
祝福：梅鲁、纳达和伟大扬升存有，我们对祢的照耀、祢的智慧、祢的物质表示赞美和感谢，祢创造了这些使我们能看见。 在“我是”不断将更多的自我带入有意识的行动中，我们赞美并感谢祢的伟大智慧和智能与“伟大的我是”合而为一。 我们赞美和感谢，在承认“我是临在”的同时，我们拥有了所有可见和不可见事物的钥匙。
