圣哲曼

INVOCATION: Thou Infinite, AllPervading Presence! With Thy Mighty Radiance surging forth throughout the atmosphere of earth, we give praise and thanks for the onrushing Christ Power of Love and Wisdom, which with no uncertainty is raising the consciousness of mankind above the sordid selfishness of the activity of the outer self.

祈请：祢无限、无所不在的临在！在祢伟大的光辉遍布地球大气、奔涌而出之时，我们为这奔流而来的爱与智慧的基督力量，献上赞美与感恩，它正毫无疑问地将人类的意识，提升至超越外在自我那卑劣自私的活动之上。

We give praise and thanks that we have become conscious of Thy Mighty, Active Presence at all times, and that in the conscious recognition of Thee, Thou dost charge our minds and bodies with Thy Pure Presence forever.

我们献上赞美与感恩，因为我们已能时时刻刻意识到祢那伟大、活跃的临在，并且在对祢的有意识认知中，祢将祢那纯粹的临在，永远充满我们的心智与身体。

I bring Greetings from the Radiant Host to you all.

我代表那光辉的主人，向在场所有人致以问候。

THE DISCOURSE

From within the Radiance of the Great Electronic Belt “I AM” projecting this today.

「我是」此刻正从伟大的电性纽带的光辉之中，投射出这次的对话。

From the Heart of the Golden City the Twin Rays come forth, upon which are the speech, the Light, and the sound.

孪生光束从黄金之城的中心发出，言语、光与声音皆由此而生。

The time has rapidly enfolded us when we must be more aware of the Great Electronic Belts encompassing all creation from the Godhead to the individual.

时间已迅速将我们包围，如今我们必须更加意识到那从神性源头延伸至个体、环绕一切创造物的伟大电性纽带。

The Etheric Belt around the Golden City is impenetrable far more so than a wall of many feet of steel would be.

环绕黄金之城的以太纽带是不可穿透的 — — 远比数英尺厚的钢墙还要坚固。

So in a lesser degree may the individual, with sufficient comprehension of the Active Principle of the God Self, surround himself with an Electronic Belt or Circle, which he may qualify in any manner he may choose; but woe be unto the individual who qualifies it destructively.

同样地，在较小的程度上，对神之自我那活跃之道有足够理解的个体，也能用一道电性纽带或圆环环绕自身，并依其所选择的方式定性它；但若有人以破坏性的方式定性它，那便是他的祸患。

If anyone should be foolish enough to do this, he would find this Belt of Electronic Force closing in upon his own outer form, and it would be consumed; but those who with wisdom build and qualify it with God’s Mighty Love and constructive Power will find themselves moving in a world untouched by the ignorance of mankind.

倘若有人愚蠢到如此行事，他会发现这道电性力量之环朝着他自己的外在形体收紧，并将其消融；然而，那些以智慧将其建造、并以神伟大的爱与建设性的力量定性它的人，将会发现自己行走于这世界之中，丝毫不受人类无知的触碰。

The Cosmic Period has arrived when those who have attained a certain degree of understanding must create, apply, and use this Wondrous Electronic Circle. Every creation that is Self conscious action has this Circle of pure Electronic Force about it naturally, but to a large degree its force is ungoverned, therefore dissipated.

特定的宇宙周期已经到来，那些已具备一定理解程度的人，必须创造、应用并运用这奇妙的电性圆环。一切以自我意识行动的创造物，自然都带有这纯粹电性力量之环；只是在很大程度上，这股力量未受治理，因而被耗散。

In consciously creating this Mighty Ring of Pure Electronic Force, you stop all leaks in the generation of this Limitless Essence, and hold it in reserve for conscious use and direction. After a few months of this conscious creative activity of and within this Electronic Ring, one will need to be very careful in loosing or directing this Force in any manner except by Divine Love.

在有意识地创造这伟大的纯粹电性力量之环时，你便止住了这无限本质在产生过程中的一切泄漏，并将其保留，供有意识的使用与引导。在围绕并身处这电性圆环、进行这样有意识的创造性活动几个月后，一个人在以任何方式释放或引导这股力量时，都必须格外谨慎 — — 唯独透过神圣之爱例外。

In the beginning of man’s individualization, he was naturally surrounded by this Magic Circle, but as the consciousness was lowered more and more, rents were made in this Great Circle of Force, causing leaks, as it were, until It has almost entirely disappeared. This, however, was not a conscious creation of the individual, but was a natural, enfolding circle.

在人类个体化之初，他自然地被这神奇的圆环所环绕；但随着意识不断降低，这伟大的力量之环上开始出现裂痕，造成了泄漏，直到它几乎完全消失。然而，这并非个体有意识的创造，而是一种自然、自行环绕的圆环。

Now students of the Light must go to work with no uncertainty and consciously create this Electronic Belt about themselves visualizing It Perfect with no rents or breaks in its construction.

如今，光之学子必须毫不犹疑地着手努力，有意识地在自身周围创造这道电性纽带，将它观想为完美无瑕、毫无裂痕或破损的构造。

Thus it will be possible to consciously reach within the Electronic Belt of the Godhead, and there receive Limitless Wisdom, Love, Light, and the Application of simple Laws by which all creative power is possible.

如此，便有可能有意识地触及神性源头的电性纽带之内，并在其中接受无限的智慧、爱、光，以及那使一切创造力得以成为可能的简单法则的应用。

While the student is admonished to look always, and never forget it, to his own God Self, which is the Creator of his individualization, yet never has there been a single attainment in which there has not been given the Assistance of those still in advance.

学子固然被告诫要始终仰望、永不忘记他自身那位作为他个体化之创造者的神之自我；然而，从来没有任何一项成就，是未曾得到那些更为进阶者的协助而完成的。

There being but the One God, the One Presence, and His AllPowerful Activity, then the one more advanced than the other is but more of the God Self in action. In this recognition you will understand why you can feel, “ ‘I AM’ here and ‘I AM’ there,” for there is but the One God Self everywhere.

由于世上只有一个神、一个临在，以及祂那全能的活动，那么比他人更为进阶者，不过是更充分地展现着神之自我活动的人。在这样的认知中，你便能理解为何你能感受到「『我是』在此，『我是』在彼」，因为世上只有那唯一的、无处不在的神之自我。

When the student can once understand that the Ascended Host of Masters are but the more advanced Consciousness of himself, then he will begin to feel the unquestionable possibilities within his grasp. Whether he speaks to the Godhead direct, to one of the Ascended Masters of Light, or to his own God Self, in reality it makes no difference, for all are One.

当学子一旦能够理解，揚升大师之团仅是他自身更为进阶的意识时，他便会开始感受到那确实可掌握的、毋庸置疑的可能性。无论他是直接向神性源头说话，还是向某一位光之揚升大师，或是向他自己的神之自我，事实上都没有差别，因为一切本是合一的。

Until one does reach this state of Consciousness, it does make a difference, for the individual is almost certain to feel a division of the One Self, which is not possible to be made except in the ignorance of the outer activity of the mind.

然而，在一个人尚未达到这种意识状态之前，差别确实存在，因为个体几乎必然会感觉到与那唯一自我的分离 — — 而这种分离，唯有出于心智外在活动的无知，才会被造成。

When the student thinks of the outer expression, he should at all times be aware that it is but the outer activity of the One Intelligence, guarding himself at all times against trying to divide in his own consciousness this One Mighty GodPower centered in him.

当学子思考外在的表达时，他应当时刻意识到，那不过是那唯一智能的外在活动；并时刻警惕，防止自己在意识中，试图将那居于他之内、唯一伟大的神之力量加以分割。

Again I must remind you that this Limitless, Mighty Power of God cannot intrude Its Wondrous Powers into your outer use except by your invitation. There is only one kind of invitation that can reach it and loose it, and that is your feeling of deep devotion and Love. When one has generated about himself this Electronic Belt or Ring, there is no power that can penetrate it except Divine Love. It is only your consciousness of Divine Love that can penetrate within this Great Inner Blazing Belt of the Godhead, through which the Godhead sends back to you Its Great Outpouringmark you through His Messengers, Transcendent Beings so far surpassing anything of your present conception that it is not possible in words to convey to you the Majesty of the Love, Wisdom and Power of these Great Ones.

我必须再次提醒你，神无限、伟大的力量，无法将其奇妙的力量带入你的外在使用之中，除非经由你的邀请。能够触及并释放它的邀请只有一种，那便是你内心深切的虔诚与爱的感受。当一个人已在自身周围生成这道电性纽带或圆环时，除了神圣之爱，没有任何力量能够穿透它。唯有你对神圣之爱的意识，才能穿透并进入这神性源头那伟大、闪耀的内在纽带之中；透过它，神性源头将其伟大的倾注回赠予你 — — 请留意 — — 是透过祂的使者，那些远远超越你当前一切概念的超凡存有，以至于无法用言语向你传达这些伟大存有之爱、智慧与力量的庄严。

At this point let Me again remind you that the student who will dare to do and be silent will find himself lifted into the Transcendent Radiance of this Inmost Sphere; then by experiencing and seeing will he comprehend this of which I have spoken. The soul who is strong enough to clothe itself in its Armor of Divine Love and go forward will find no obstruction; for there is naught between your present consciousness and this Mighty, Transcendent Inner Sphere to obstruct the approach of Divine Love.

在这一点上，让我再次提醒你，敢于实践并保持静默的学子，将会发现自己被提升进入这至深之域那超凡的光辉之中；而后，透过亲身的经历与所见，他将领会我所说的这一切。那灵魂若强大到足以用神圣之爱的铠甲将自己包裹并勇往直前，便不会遇到任何阻碍；因为在你当前的意识与这伟大、超凡的内在之间，没有任何东西能够阻挡神圣之爱的临近。

When you have touched and seen within this Inner Circle, you will then understand how imperfect is the present expression of Divine Love. Once one becomes consciously aware of these Great Spheres to which he may reach, he will find himself fearlessly reaching deeper and deeper within the Radiance of this Mighty Intelligent Hub of the Universe from which all worlds, all creation have proceeded.

当你曾触及并目睹这内在之环时，你便会理解，当今对神圣之爱的表达是多么不完美。一旦一个人开始有意识地觉知这些他可以触及的伟大领域，他便会发现自己无所畏惧地、越来越深入地探入这宇宙之伟大智能枢纽的光辉之中 — — 一切世界、一切创造，皆由此而生。

There are among you strong, dauntless, fearless souls who will understand this and be able to use it with great blessing to themselves and others. There are those who will understand and see that the “Presence” which beats each heart is God in Action; that the Activity sending the circulation through the body is God; that the Essence charging forward to vitalize the outer form is God in Action.

你们之中，有着坚强、无畏、毫不畏惧的灵魂，他们将理解这一点，并能以此为自己与他人带来伟大的祝福。会有人理解并看见，那跳动每一颗心脏的「临在」，正是行动中的神；那推动血液在身体中循环的活动，正是神；那充入并赋予外在形体生命的本质，正是行动中的神。

Then, O Beloved Students, awake to this now! Do you not see how great a mistake it is to sink under the ignorance of the outer self, feeling pain, distress, and disturbance, all created by the ignorance and activity of the outer self; when a few moments of earnest contemplation will cause one to realize that there can be but One Presence, One Intelligence, One Power acting in your mind and body, and that is God.

那么，噢，亲爱的学子们，现在就觉醒于此吧！你们难道看不出，沉溺于外在自我的无知之中 — — 感受痛苦、苦恼与不安，而这一切皆由外在自我的无知与活动所造成 — — 是多么大的错误吗？只需片刻真诚的默想，便会使人重新意识到，运作于你的心智与身体之中的，只能有唯一的临在、唯一的智能、唯一的力量，那就是神。

You see how simple, yet powerful, is this Consciousness within you to loose the full recognition of the Great, Pure Activity of God into your mind and body; and to let its Wondrous, Transcendent Essence fill full to overflowing every cell.

你们看，这居于你之内的意识是多么简单，却又多么具有力量 — — 足以将神那伟大、纯粹的活动释放进入你的心智与身体之中，并让它那奇妙、超凡的本质，盈满甚至溢出每一个细胞。

It seems to Me, Beloved Students, that you cannot fail to grasp this simplicity of your True God Self acting in you Ever tum to It, praising It, loving It, demanding and commanding It to surge forth into every cell of your body; into every demand of the outer activity, in the home, in your affairs, in business. When your desire is sent forth clothed in the God Presence, Power and Intelligence, it cannot fail. It must bring to you that which you desire. Desire is but a lesser activity of decreeing. Decreeing is and should be the recognition of the accomplished desire.

在我看来，亲爱的学子们，你们不可能无法领会，那在你之内行动的真实神之自我，是如此简单纯粹。请永远转向它，赞美它，爱它，要求并命令它涌入你身体的每一个细胞之中；涌入外在活动的每一项需求之中，无论是在家中、在你的事务里，还是在生意中。当你的渴望被神的临在、力量与智能所包裹并发出时，它便不可能失败。它必然会将你所渴望的带给你。渴望不过是诺令这一活动较次一级的形式。诺令是，而且应当是，对那已然完成之渴望的承认。

Beloved Students, do forever put away any fear of the use of this Great Power. You know without being told that if you misuse It, you will experience inharmony. If you use it constructively, it will bring such Blessings untold that you can but give praise and thanksgiving for the moment when you awakened to the fact that this Limitless Power is omnipresent ever awaiting your conscious direction.

被爱着的学子，请一定永远地抛弃任何对于使用这伟大力量的害怕。你不需要别人告知就知道如果你滥用这力量，你就会经历不和谐。如果你以建设性的方式运用它，它就会为你带来如此难以置信的祝福，以至于当你终于清醒于这无尽的力量是无所不在的只等待着你意识去为其指路这一事实的时候，你能做的只有发出赞美和感恩。

The individual who has said that you cannot add one cubit to your height by your thought has stifled the activity and progress of the individual, for thought and feeling are the Creative Power of God in Action.

那个声称你无法用思想为你的身高增加一寸的人，正在扼杀个体的活动与进步，因为思想与感受正是行动中的神之创造力量。

The uncontrolled, ungoverned use of thought and feeling has brought about all kinds of discord, sickness and distress. Few, however, believe this, and keep going on and on continually creating by their ungoverned thought and desire, chaos in their worlds; when they could as easily as a breath face about, using their thought constructively with the motive power of Divine Love, and build for themselves a Perfect Paradise within the period of two years.

那些对于想法和感受不加控制的，不加管理的使用导致了所有种种的不和谐，虚弱，和沮丧。然而，相信这一点的人却寥寥无几，他们继续不断地以自己不受治理的思想与渴望，在自己的世界中创造混乱；而他们本可以像呼吸一样轻易地转身，以建设性的方式、带着神圣之爱的驱动力来运用自己的思想，并在两年之内为自己建造一个完美的乐园。当他们本可以像呼吸一样轻易地转身，以建设性的方式、带着神圣之爱的驱动力来运用自己的思想，并在两年之内为自己建造一个完美的乐园。

Even physical science has given proof that the body or outer form completely renews itself within a few months. Then you must see that with the conscious understanding and application of the True Laws of your Being, how easy it is to cause Perfection to manifest in your entire body, and every organ to leap into its Perfect, normal activity. In a short time it would not be possible for inharmony to enter your thought or body.

即便是物理科学也已证明，身体或外在形体，会在几个月内完全自我更新。那么你必须看见，凭借对你存在之真正法则的有意识理解与应用，要使完美在你整个身体中显化，使每一个器官都跃入其完美、正常的活动之中，是多么容易的事。在短时间内，不和谐便不再可能进入你的思想或身体。

O Children reaching to the Light! this great privilege is the Open Door of God before you, which none may shut but yourselves. None may obstruct or interfere with it but yourselves. Fearlessly use your Godgiven Dominion and Power and be free. You cannot attain and hold this Perfect Freedom except through consciously applied knowledge.

噢，向光迈进的孩子们！这伟大的特权，正是摆在你面前那扇神之敞开之门，除了你自己，没有人能将它关闭。除了你自己，没有人能阻碍或干扰它。请无所畏惧地运用你这份神所赐予的统御与力量，并获得自由。除非透过有意识地应用这份知识，你无法获得并保持这份完美的自由。

Now I shall give you a secret that if understood by the angry or discordant individual would tear him or her from that destructive activity even from a purely selfish standpoint

现在，让我告诉你一个秘密 — — 若被那愤怒或不和谐的人所理解，哪怕仅仅出于纯粹自私的立场，也会使他/她立刻从那破坏性的活动中抽身而出。

The angry, condemning person who sends out destructive thought, feeling, or speech to another who is poised in his own God power, receives back to himself the quality with which he charged this power; while the poised person receives the energy which serves him, and which he automatically requalifies by his own poise. Thus, the creator of discord, through anger and condemnation, is consciously destroying himself, his world of activity, and his affairs.

那愤怒、谴责的人，向另一位安住于自身神之力量中的人发出破坏性的思想、感受或言语，最终收到的，正是他自己充入这力量之中的那种特质；而那安住于平静中的人，则接收到那为他效力的能量，并透过自身的平静，自动重新定性这能量。因此，那制造不和谐之人，正透过愤怒与谴责，有意识地毁灭着自己、自己的活动领域，以及自己的事务。

Here is a vital point students should understand. When one consciously reaches within the Inner Electronic Circle of God, he makes his outer expression and activity a channel for the ceaseless outpouring of the Pure Essence from the Godhead. This in itself, even though he be entirely silent in the outer expression, is one of the greatest services to humanity which but few not Ascended are aware of what it means to mankind.

这里有一个学生应当理解的至关重要的要点。当一个人有意识地触及神之内在电性圆环时，他便使自己的外在表达与活动，成为一条让神性源头那纯粹本质不断倾注而出的渠道。即便他在外在表达中完全保持静默，这件事本身，就已是对人类最伟大的服务之一 — — 而那些尚未揚升的人之中，几乎无人意识到这对人类意味着什么。

The one reaching within the Electronic Circle becomes a continual outpouring, and this very Radiation alone is a tremendous Blessing to all mankind. Thus, aeon after aeon, have there been those unselfish Messengers of God through whom was poured forth the Blessing of those not understanding the uplifting Presence of this surging energy. When there is one or more found who can be an outpouring for this great welledup Presence, it is likened unto the first trickling of a leak in a dam.

那触及电性圆环的人，便成为一股持续不断的倾注之流，单单这道光辉本身，便是对全人类巨大的祝福。因此，纵贯一个又一个时代，总有那些无私的神之使者，藉由他们自身，将这倾注而出的祝福，传递给那些尚不理解这股涌动能量中令人提升之临在的存有们。当发现一位或多位能够成为这伟大、积蓄已久之临在的倾注渠道时，便如同水坝中第一道渗漏的裂缝。

As the consciousness is held steady and firm, and as the rent in the dam increases, greater volume of water comes forth, for at last all obstruction is swept away, and the whole force back of it is poured forth into use. Unlike the water dammed up that rushes forward, dissipating itself because it is without direction, the God Power thus loosed goes direct to the channel of consciousness most receptive, and there builds Itself up, awaiting the opportunity to rush forward more and more. Thus, the student of Light, aside from his activity in dispensing the Truth, becomes, as it were, an artesian well, from the depths of which flows this Mighty Essence of God.

随着意识被稳固而坚定地持守，随着水坝中的裂缝逐渐扩大，便有更大量的水涌出，直到最终一切阻碍都被冲刷而去，其背后蕴藏的全部力量，便倾注而出，投入使用。与那因蓄积而决堤、因失去方向而四散奔流的水不同，这样被释放出的神之力量，会直接流向意识中最具接受性的渠道，并在那里自我建立，等候时机，越来越猛烈地向前奔涌。因此，光之学生，除了他在传播真理方面的活动之外，本身便成为了一口自流井，从其深处，涌流出神这伟大的本质。

The students should at all times remember that no matter what their mistakes may have been, God never criticizes nor condemns them; but at every stumble which is made, in that sweet, loving Voice says: “Arise, My Child, and try again, and keep on trying, until at last you have attained the True Victory and Freedom of your Godgiven Dominion.”

学生应当时刻记住，无论他们曾犯下怎样的错误，神从不批评或谴责他们；而是在每一次跌倒之时，以那甜美、充满爱的声音说道：「起来吧，我的孩子，再试一次，并持续尝试，直到你终于赢得你那神所赐统御之真正的胜利与自由。」

Always when one has been conscious of having made a mistake, his first act should be to call on the Law of Forgiven and demand wisdom and strength not to make the same mistake a second time.

每当一个人意识到自己犯了错误，他的第一个举动应当是呼求宽恕的法则，并祈求智慧与力量，使自己不再犯下同样的错误。

God, being all Love, must have Infinite Patience, and no matter how many mistakes one may have made, he can always once again, “Arise and go unto the Father.” Such is the Love and Freedom within which God’s children are privileged to act.

神，作为完全的爱，必然拥有无限的耐心；无论一个人犯过多少错误，他总能一次又一次地「起身，前往父那里去」。这正是神的孩子们有幸得以在其中行动的爱与自由。

There is only one, mighty, invincible, evolving process, and that is through the power of consciously generating Divine Love. Love, being the Hub of all Life, the more we enter in and use It consciously, the more easily and quickly we release this Mighty Power of God, which is always standing as a dammedup force, waiting to find an opening in our own consciousness by which It can project Itself.

世上只有一个伟大、不可战胜的演化过程，那就是透过有意识地生发神圣之爱的力量。爱，作为一切生命的枢纽，我们越是进入其中并有意识地运用它，我们就越能轻松而迅速地释放神这伟大的力量 — — 它始终如同一股被蓄积的力量，等待着在我们自己的意识中找到一个开口，藉以将自身投射出来。

For the first time in many centuries, the Searchlights, or Rays, from the Golden City over the Sahara Desert, are set into active operation over. America and the earth. There may be some individuals who will see these Rays, not knowing what they are.

许多个世纪以来，第一次，从撒哈拉沙漠上方黄金之城所发出的探照之光，或称光束，正在美国及整个地球上方被设置为活跃运作的状态。世上或许有一些人会看见这些光束，却不知道那是什么。

Mankind need no longer think that personalities can continue to generate their destructive forces and long survive. Those who can use this Knowledge of the Electronic Circle should no longer be deprived of its benefits. Give it forth and the warning with it.

人类无需再以为，那些持续产生破坏性力量的人格能够长久存续。那些能够运用这关于电性圆环之知识的人，不应再被剥夺它所带来的益处。请将它，连同伴随的警示，一并传扬出去。

Use this Statement: “ ‘I AM’ the fulfilled activity and sustaining power of every constructive thing I desire.” Use it as a general statement, for the sustaining power is in everything that there is.” ‘I AM’ here and ‘I AM’ there” in whatever you want to accomplish is a splendid way to feel that you are using the One Activity, and you thus rise above the consciousness of separation.

请使用这句宣告：「『我是』我所渴望的每一件建设性事物之已实现的活动，及其持续维系的力量。」可将其作为一句通用的宣告来使用，因为这持续维系的力量，存在于一切事物之中。无论你想要达成什么，宣告「『我是』在此，『我是』在彼」，是一种极佳的方式，让你感受到自己正在运用着那唯一的活动，从而超越分离的意识。

BENEDICTION: O Mighty Ones of the Golden City! Glorified are we in Thy Wondrous Radiance. Privileged are we in the use of Thy Great Rays. Blessed are we in the conscious recognition of Thy Mighty Presence. Enfold us forever in Thy Transcendent Light.

祝福： 噢，黄金之城那伟大的存有们！我们因沉浸于祢那奇妙的光辉之中而何其荣耀。我们因得以运用祢伟大的光束而何其有幸。我们因对祢伟大临在的有意识认知而何其蒙福。请以祢超凡的圣光，永远将我们环抱其中。
