The laws of balance and counter-balance are in operation on the mental as well as on the physical planes, and an understanding of these laws enables one to seem to overthrow laws, whereas he is merely exerting a counterbalance.
平衡的法则和反向平衡的法则是在精神层面上运作的，如同在物理层面上，并且对这些法则的理解，表面上赋予一个人去推翻法则，事实上，他只是努力达到了一个反向平衡。

"Nothing escapes the Principle of Cause and Effect,but there are many Planes of Causation, and one may use　the laws of the higher to overcome the laws of the lower."
--The Kybalion.
没有什么可以逃避开因果法则，但有许多因果的层级，一个人可以利用较高的法则，去克服较低的法则。
——Kybalion

By an understanding of the practice of Polarization, the Hermetists rise to a higher plane of Causation and thus counter-balance the laws of the lower planes of Causation.
通过理解极性实践，赫尔墨斯者们可以提升到因果关系的更高层面，反向平衡低层面的因果法则。

By rising above the plane of ordinary Causes they become themselves, in a degree, Causes instead of being merely Caused.
By being able to master their own moods and feelings, and by being able to neutralize Rhythm, as we have already explained, they are able to escape a great part of the operations of Cause and Effect on the ordinary plane.
靠着提升到普通的原因层面之上，他们改变自己到某个程度，在那里原因替代了结果。
靠着能够去掌控自己的心态和感受，并且靠着能够中立节律，正如我们已经说明的，他们能够躲避开在普通层面上因果运行的一大部分。

The masses of people are carried along, obedient to their environment; the wills and desires of others stronger than themselves; the effects of inherited tendencies; the suggestions of those about them; and other outward causes; which tend to move them about on the chess-board of life like mere pawns.
大众们是被动的，顺从着他们的环境、那比自己更强大的他人的意志和期望、遗传倾向的效果、他人对自己的暗示以及其它外在的原因。
这样，趋向在移动着他们，有如象棋盘上兵卒的生命。

By rising above these influencing causes, the advanced Hermetists seek a higher plane of mental action, and by dominating their moods, emotions, impulses and feelings, they create for themselves new characters, qualities and powers, by which they overcome their ordinary environment, and thus become practically players instead of mere Pawns.
靠着提升到这些影响原因之上，优秀的赫尔墨斯者们寻找较高层面的精神行动，靠着支配他们的心态，情绪，冲动，和感受，他们为自己创造新的人格特征、品质和力量，靠着这些，他们超越普通的环境，这样事实上他们变为了弈者，而非只是棋子。

Such people help to play the game of life understandingly, instead of being moved about this way and that way by stronger influences and powers and wills.
这些人会心地玩人生的游戏，而不是被更强的影响、力量和意志的所左右。

They use the Principle of Cause and Effect, instead of being used by it. Of course, even the highest are subject to the Principle as it manifests on the higher planes, but on the lower planes of activity, they are Masters instead of Slaves.
他们利用因果法则，而不是被因果法则所利用。当然，就是在最高层面也要服从显化在更高的层面上的法则，但在较低层面的活动中，他们是主人，而不是奴隶。

As The Kybalion says:
正如Kybalion所说：
"The wise ones serve on the higher, but rule on the lower.
智慧者是在更高层面运作，控制更低层面。

They obey the laws coming from above them, But on their　own plane, and those below them they rule and give orders.
他们服从来自他们上面的法则。但他们支配并且给出指令，在他们自己的层面和之下的。
And, yet, in so doing, they form a part of the Principle,instead of opposing it.
这样做，他们组成了法则的一个部分，而不是对抗法则。
The wise man falls in with the Law,and by understanding its movements he operates it instead of being its blind slave.
智慧者遵从法则，靠着理解法则的运行来操作，而不是被法则驱动的盲目的奴隶。

Just as does the skilled swimmer turn this way and that way, going and coming as he will,instead of being as the log which is carried here and there
--so is the wise man as compared to the ordinary man
--and yet both swimmer and log; wise man and fool,are subject to Law. He who understands this is well on the road to Mastery."
--The Kybalion.

正如熟练的游泳选手随意转来转去，向前向后，而不是象漂浮的木头般随波逐流
——这就是智慧者和普通人的差别
——然而游泳选手和木头，智慧的和愚笨的，都要服从法则。理解这点的，已经走上了大师之路。——Kybalion

In conclusion let us again call your attention to the Hermetic Axiom:
在结束处，让我们再来看一句赫尔墨斯格言：

"True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art."--The Kybalion.
真的赫尔墨斯转化是精神的艺术。——Kybalion

In the above axiom, the Hermetists teach that the great work of influencing one's environment is accomplished by Mental Power.
在上面的格言里，赫尔墨斯者们教导的是，影响一个人的环境的伟大工作是由精神力量完成的。

The Universe being wholly mental, it follows that it may be ruled only by Mentality.
宇宙是完全精神的，它只遵循精神控制法则。

And in this truth is to be found an explanation of all the phenomena and manifestations of the various mental powers which are attracting so much attention and study in these earlier years of the Twentieth Century.
这个真理是基于在所有现象和不同精神力量的显化的阐释，这在二十世纪的初期，吸引了众多的注意和研究。

Back of and under the teachings of the various cults and schools, remains ever constant the Principle of the Mental Substance of the Universe.
在不同奥秘体系和学派教导的背后和根基上，永远保留着宇宙的精神实质的法则。

If the Universe be Mental in its substantial nature, then it follows that Mental Transmutation must change the conditions and phenomena of the Universe.
如果宇宙实质本性是精神的，那么其遵循这点：精神转化必须改变宇宙的状况和现象。
If the Universe is Mental, then Mind must be the highest power affecting its phenomena.
如果宇宙是精神的，那么思想必须是影响现象的最高力量。

If this be understood then all the so-called "miracles" and "wonder-workings" are seen plainly for what they are.

如果理解了这点，那么所有被称为奇迹和非凡作为的，对于他们，看起来就是很普通的了。

"THE ALL is MIND; The Universe is Mental."--The Kybalion.
全能者是思想；宇宙是精神。——Kybalion

CHAPTER XII　CAUSATION
第十二章因果

"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause;
everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a
name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of
causation, but nothing escapes the Law."--The Kybalion.
凡因都有果；凡果都有因；每一件事情的发生都遵循法则；运气只是法则的一个名称，而不是它本身得到承认。有许多层面的果，但任何事物都逃脱不了法则。
——Kybalion

The great Sixth Hermetic Principle--the Principle of Cause and Effect--embodies the truth that Law pervades the Universe; that nothing happens by Chance;
伟大的赫尔墨斯第六法则
——因果法则
——揭示的真理是：法则遍及宇宙；没有什么是偶然发生的。

that Chance is merely a term indicating cause existing but not recognized or perceived; that phenomena is continuous, without break or exception.
偶然只是一个描述词汇，表示的是，存在的原因是无法认识，或者无法觉察；现象是连续的，不会断裂或者出现例外。

The Principle of Cause and Effect underlies all scientific thought, ancient and modern, and was enunciated by the Hermetic Teachers in the earliest days.
因果法则是所有科学心理的基础，不论古代还是现代，在最初的时期里就被赫尔墨斯教导明确阐述了。

While many and varied disputes between the many schools of thought have since arisen, these disputes have been principally upon the details of the operations of the Principle, and still more often upon the meaning of certain words.
当各种不同的争论在众多心理学派之间出现时，这些争论主要集中在法则运作的细节上，也经常与某些词汇的意义有关联。

The underlying Principle of Cause and Effect has been accepted as correct by practically all the thinkers of the world worthy of the name.
隐藏的因果法则已经被这个世界所有真正的思想者作为正确的而实际接受了。

To think otherwise would be to take the phenomena of the universe from the domain of Law and Order, and to relegate it; to the control of the imaginary something which men have called "Chance."
去思考另一方面，那会把宇宙的现象从法则和有序的领域，带入到想象的控制中，一个人们称为偶然的境域。

A little consideration will show anyone that there is in reality no such thing as pure chance. Webster defines the word "Chance" as follows: "A supposed agent or mode of activity other than a force, law or purpose;
做一点思考就会对任何人显明，实际上没有什么纯粹的偶然这种事情。韦伯字典定义偶然为，力量、法则、目的之外的，一个假设的活动动因或者方式；

the operation or activity of such agent; the supposed effect of such an agent; a happening; fortuity; casualty, etc."
这种动因的运作或者活动，这种动因的假设效果，一个碰巧；意外；意外事物，等等。

But a little consideration will show you that there can be no such agent as "Chance," in the sense of something outside of Law-something outside of Cause and Effect.
但思考一下，你就会知道没有那种在法则之外——在因果法则之外，这种偶然的动因。

How could there be a something acting in the phenomenal universe, independent of the laws, order, and continuity of the latter? Such a something would be entirely independent of the orderly trend of the universe, and therefore superior to it.
事物如何可以独立于宇宙的法则、秩序和连续性，而在现象的宇宙中行动？这样一个事物需要完全独立于宇宙的有序趋势，凌驾在宇宙之上。

We can imagine nothing outside of THE ALL being outside of the Law, and that only because THE ALL is the LAW in itself.
我们能够想象，没有什么是在全能者的法则之外的，也只有全能者是它自身的法则。

There is no room in the universe for a something outside of and independent of Law.
在宇宙中，对于那些在法则之外和不依赖法则的，无处容身。
The existence of such a Something would render all Natural Laws ineffective, and would plunge the universe into chaotic disorder and lawlessness.
这种事情的存在会使所有的自然法则无效，并且把宇宙投入到混乱无序和无法则的状态。

A careful examination will show that what we call "Chance" is merely an expression relating to obscure causes; causes that we cannot perceive; causes that we cannot understand.
细心的查验会显示，我们称为的偶然只是一个对不明原因的表达；我们还没有觉察到的原因；我们还不理解的原因。

The word Chance is derived from a word Meaning "to fall" (as the falling of dice), the idea being that the fall of the dice (and many other happenings) are merely a "happening" unrelated to any cause.
偶然这个词来自意味着掉落下来（如同色子掉落下来）这个词，那个近似的概念是色子的掉落，只是一个和任何原因无关的发生。

And this is the sense in which the term is generally employed.
这个词比较普遍地在这种情况下使用。

But when the matter is closely examined, it is seen that there is no chance whatsoever about the fall of the dice.
但是对于这个问题做进一步的考察，就能看到色子的掉落并非偶然。

Each time a die falls, and displays a certain number, it obeys a law as infallible as that which governs the revolution of the planets around the sun.
一次色子掉落，现出一个确定的数字，它遵守着一个法则，是和确定了地球围绕太阳的旋转的法则一样的。

Back of the fall of the die are causes, or chains of causes, running back further than the mind can follow.
在色子掉下的背后，是有原因和原因链的，比心理能够追踪的延伸到更远。

The position of the die in the box; the amount of muscular energy expended in the throw; the condition of the table, etc., etc.,
色子在盒子里的位置；在抛掷时肌肉力量的运用；桌子的具体状况，等等，

all are causes, the effect of which may be seen. But back of these seen causes there are chains of unseen preceding causes, all of which had a bearing upon the number of the die which fell uppermost.
所有都是原因，结果能够看到。只是在这些可看到的原因背后，有不可见的原因链条，所有都和要出现的色子上的数字有某种关系。

If a die be cast a great number of times, it will be found that the numbers shown will be about equal, that is, there will be an equal number of one-spot, two-spot, etc., coming uppermost.
如果色子被掷出的次数够多，会发现每个数字的出现频率近乎相等；那就是，一个点，两个点，等等，出现是平均的。

Toss a penny in the air, and it may come down either "heads" or "tails"; but make a sufficient number of tosses, and the heads and tails will about even up. This is the operation of the law of average.
抛一个硬币，落下来可以是正面或者反面；抛的次数足够多，正面或者反面的出现是相等的。这是均数法则的运作。

But both the average and the single toss come under the Law of Cause and Effect, and if we were able to examine into the preceding causes, it would be clearly seen that it was simply impossible for the die to fall other than it did, under the same circumstances and at the same time. Given the same causes, the same results will follow. There is always a "cause" and a "because" to every event. Nothing ever "happens" without a cause, or rather a chain of causes.
但是均数和单一抛掷这两者都是在因果法则之下，如果我们能够查验之前的原因，在同样的条件下和在同样的时间里，很清楚，色子的不落下，这个现象是完全不可能的。给予同样的原因，会产生同样的结果。对每一个事物，总是有一个原因和一个因为。永远没有什么的发生，可以没有原因或者原因链。

Some confusion has arisen in the minds of persons considering this Principle, from the fact that they were unable to explain how one thing could cause another thing--that is, be the "creator" of the second thing.
As a matter of fact, no "thing" ever causes or "creates" another "thing."
在考虑这个法则时，心理上会出现一些混淆，这来自于他们不能解释一个事物怎样导致了另一个——那是，第二个事物的创造者。

事实是，没有事物曾经导致或者创造另一个事物。

Cause and Effect deals merely with "events."
原因和结果只是在和事情打交道。

An "event" is "that which comes, arrives or happens, as a result or consequent of some preceding event."
一个事情是到来，来到，或者发生，只是作为某些先前事物的结果或者后续。

No event "creates" another event, but is merely a preceding link in the great orderly chain of events flowing from the creative energy of THE ALL.

没有事物创造另一个事物，只是从全能者的创造性能量而来的，在一个巨大有序的事情链条的流动中，与之前事情连接的一个事物的出现。

There is a continuity between all events precedent, consequent and subsequent. There is a relation existing between everything that has gone before, and everything that follows.
在所有事情之间都有连续性，先前的，随后的，再后的。在任何事情之间有相关的存在，一个走了，一个跟着就来。

A stone is dislodged from a mountain side and crashes through a roof of a cottage in the valley below. At first sight we regard this as a chance effect,
but when we examine the matter we find a great chain of causes behind it.
一块石头从山边滚落，打烂了下面山谷里一座茅屋的屋顶。开始，我们会认为这是一个偶然的结果，但是，当我们查验这个事情，我们发现在它后面有一个巨大的原因链。

In the first place there was the rain which softened the earth supporting the stone and which allowed it to fall; then back of that was the influence of the sun, other rains, etc.,
先是雨水松动了地表对石头的支撑，使它能够跌落；在它后面是太阳的影响，还有雨，等等，

which gradually disintegrated the piece of rock from a larger piece;
从较大的石头不断裂碎出小石块；
then there were the causes which led to the formation of the mountain, and its upheaval by convulsions of nature, and so on ad infinitum. Then we might follow up the causes behind the rain, etc.
那么这里有山的构造方面的原因，自然的震荡造成了它的变化，无限的如此种种。这样我们能够探究在雨后面的原因，等等。

Then we might consider the existence of the roof In short, we would soon find ourselves involved in a mesh of cause and effect, from which we would soon strive to extricate ourselves.
然后我们能够考虑茅屋顶的存在。简要地说，我们很快发现我们自己陷在一个原因和结果的网里，我们要马上把我们自己从里面解脱出来。

Passing on from the Great Mental Plane to the Great Spiritual Plane, what shall we say? How can we explain these higher states of Being, Life and Mind, to minds as yet unable to grasp and understand the higher subdivisions of the Plane of Human Mind? The task is impossible. We can speak only in the most general terms.
讲过了思想这个大层面之后，我们该来讲灵魂这个大层面了。

对于一些甚至还没有理解和掌握人类思想层面中较高层面的人们，应该怎么向他们解释这些更高级状态的存在物、生命还有心理？要想向他们做出专业的解释简直是不可能的。我们只能用最通俗的语言。

How may Light be described to a man born blind--how sugar, to a man who has never tasted anything sweet--how harmony, to one born deaf?
这就像要向天生双目失明的人解释光明是怎么回事，向从没有吃过任何甜的东西的人解释糖是什么，以及向一个天生双耳失聪的人说明什么是和谐之音一样，这怎么能解释得清楚？

All that we can say is that the Seven Minor Planes of the Great Spiritual Plane (each Minor Plane having its seven sub-divisions) comprise Beings possessing Life, Mind and Form as far above that of Man of to-day as the latter is above the earth-worm, mineral or even certain forms of Energy or Matter.
因此，我们只能做出以下解释同物质层面、思想层面一样，精神层面也包括七个小层面，其下又各分成七个更小的亚层面。这些层面包含具有生命、思想和形式的存在体。它们和现在人类的关系就像人类和蚯蚓、矿物质或者其它一些能量和物质形式的关系相似，都是高级和低级的关系。

The Life of these Beings so far transcends ours, that we cannot even think of the details of the same; their minds so far transcend ours, that to them we scarcely seem to "think," and our mental processes seem almost akin to material processes;
这些存在体的生命目前超过我们，我们甚至无法想象；它们的思想也远超过我们，对于它们，我们根本不是在“思考”，我们的心智过程几乎可以低到与物质的过程相类比；

the Matter of which their forms are composed is of the highest Planes of Matter, nay, some are even said to be "clothed in Pure Energy." What may be said of such Beings?

它们的构造是由物质层面中最高级的组成，一些可以被称为“包裹在纯能量里。”对于这些存在体，还能说些什么呢？

On the Seven Minor Planes of the Great Spiritual Plane exist Beings of whom we may speak as Angels; Archangels; Demi-Gods. On the lower Minor Planes dwell those great souls whom we call Masters and Adepts.
在灵魂层面的第七个小层面上有一些存在体，我们可以称之为天使、天使长和半神人（Demi-Gods）。向下较低的一个层面包含一些伟大的灵魂，我们称之为大师和行家；

Above them come the Great Hierarchies of the Angelic Hosts, unthinkable to man;
and above those come those who may without irreverence be called "The Gods,"
so high in the scale of Being are they,
在他们之上是天使会的森严的等级，这是人类难以想象的。
再往上就是备受尊敬的众神，他们是存在等级中高高在上的神。

行家、大师、天使、天使长、天神、天使会、众神

their being, intelligence and power being akin to those attributed by the races of men to their conceptions of Deity.
他们的存在、智慧还有力量与人类头脑中关于神的观念是相近的。

These Beings are beyond even the highest flights of the human imagination, the word "Divine" being the only one applicable to them.
这些存在都是超乎人类想象的，也不是人们用神圣这个唯一合适的词语就可以形容的。

Many of these Beings, as well as the Angelic Host, take the greatest interest in the affairs of the Universe and play an important part in its affairs.
许多存在体以及天使会都对宇宙事物有很大兴趣，而且他们也在这些事物中发挥着自己的影响力。

These Unseen Divinities and Angelic Helpers extend their influence freely and powerfully, in the process of Evolution, and Cosmic Progress.
在万物进化过程中以及宇宙进程中，这些人类看不见的神与其天使助手可以按照他们的意愿强有力地扩大他们的影响。

Their occasional intervention and assistance in human affairs have led to the many legends, beliefs, religions and traditions of the race, past and present.
正是因为有了他们时常的帮助，人类社会才出现了许多传说、信仰、宗教，还有各种不同的传统，过去如此，现在依然如此。
They have superimposed their knowledge and power upon the world, again and again, all under the Law of THE ALL, of course.
他们一再地将自己的知识和力量传递到人间。当然，这些都是符合全能者的法则。

But, yet, even the highest of these advanced Beings exist merely as creations of, and in, the Mind of THE ALL, and are subject to the Cosmic Processes and Universal Laws. They are still Mortal.
即使是最高等级的存在物也都只是存在于上帝的精神中的，他们也都是宇宙进程中的一部分，是符合宇宙规律的。但是他们又是永存不朽的。

We may call them "gods" if we like, but still they are but the Elder Brethren of the Race,
我们也可以称他们为神。可另一方面，他们又只不过是人类的兄长

--the advanced souls who have outstripped their brethren, and who have foregone the ecstasy of Absorption by THE ALL, in order to help the race on its upward journey along The Path.
——超过了人类的更高一级的灵魂，为了帮助人类向更高一级发展，在上帝召唤时，他们放弃了这个机会。
But, they belong to the Universe, and are subject to its conditions--they are mortal--and their plane is below that of Absolute Spirit.
不过他们仍然是属于宇宙的，他们有自己的状态——他们是永存不朽的——他们位于仅次于绝对精神之下的层面。

Only the most advanced Hermetists are able to grasp the Inner Teachings regarding the state of existence, and the powers manifested on the Spiritual Planes.
只有最优秀的赫尔墨斯主义者才能领会关于存在状态的本质要义，以及显化在灵魂层面的力量。
The phenomena is so much higher than that of the Mental Planes that a confusion of ideas would surely result from an attempt to describe the same.
因为这里的现象要比精神层面的现象更加高级更加复杂了，在我们试图把它讲解清楚时必然会产生一些问题让大家迷惑。

Only those whose minds have been carefully trained along the lines of the Hermetic Philosophy for years--yes, those who have brought with them from other incarnations the knowledge acquired previously--can comprehend just what is meant by the Teaching regarding these Spiritual Planes.
只有信仰并仔细研读了赫尔墨斯哲学好几年，而且完全摈弃了以前所被灌输的知识的人才能理解以上关于灵魂层面的主张。

And much of these Inner Teachings is held by the Hermetists as being too sacred, important and even dangerous for general public dissemination.
这些内在教导中的一部分被赫尔墨斯们掌握着，因为太神圣，太重要，对于普通大众的传播甚至太危险。

The intelligent student may recognize what we mean by this when we state that the meaning of "Spirit" as used by the Hermetists is akin to "Living Power"; "Animated Force;" "Inner Essence;" "Essence of Life," etc.,
智慧的学生能够认识到我们所说的这些，我们所说的“灵魂”的意思，正如同赫尔墨斯者们用到的“充满活力的力量”，“给予生命的力量”，“内在实质”，“生命的实质”，等等，

which meaning must not be confounded with that usually and commonly employed in connection with the term, i.e., "religious; ecclesiastical; spiritual; ethereal; holy," etc., etc.
这些的意思千万不能与通常还有常识里的这些词联系起来，诸如“信仰的，神圣的，精神上的，天堂的，圣洁的，”等等，等等。

To occultists the word "Spirit" is used in the sense of "The Animating Principle," carrying with it the idea of Power, Living Energy, Mystic Force, etc.
对于神秘主义者而言，灵魂这个词被用于动力法则中，带有力量、充满活力的能量，神秘的力量等含义。

And occultists know that that which is known to them as "Spiritual Power" may be employed for evil as well as good ends (in accordance with the Principle of Polarity),
神秘主义者清楚他们所指的灵魂力量会被用于好的方面，同样也会用于坏的方面，这是遵循极性法则的。

a fact which has been recognized by the majority of religions in their conceptions of Satan, Beelzebub, the Devil, Lucifer, Fallen Angels, etc.
其实大部分宗教都意识到了这个问题，所以他们脑中都有像撒旦、别西卜魔王、恶魔、路西法、堕落天使等等这些观念。

And so the knowledge regarding these Planes has been kept in the Holy of Holies in all Esoteric Fraternities and Occult Orders,--in the Secret Chamber of the Temple.
鉴于此，关于所有层面的讨论都是仅限在所有隐秘修会和奥秘传承的至圣所——教会的密室。

But this may be said here, that those who have attained high spiritual powers and have misused them, have a terrible fate in store for them, and the swing of the pendulum of Rhythm will inevitably swing them back to the furthest extreme of Material existence, from which point they must retrace their steps Spiritward, along the weary rounds of The Path,

but always with the added torture of having always with them a lingering memory of the heights from which they fell owing to their evil actions.

The legends of the Fallen Angels have a basis in actual facts, as all advanced occultists know.
但是要在这里说的是，那些达到高级灵魂力量的，如果滥用，他们就是在积恶，韵律的摆锤不可避免地把他们带回到最原始的物质存在上去，从那里再开始回溯精神的脚步，开始新的轮回，但总是要经受更多的磨难，而且他们总有对高点处萦绕的记忆，从那里，因着他们的罪孽而跌落。堕落天使的传说有真实的依据，正如所有优秀的奥秘学者们所知的那样。

The striving for selfish power on the Spiritual Planes inevitably results in the selfish soul losing its spiritual balance and falling back as far as it had previously risen.
在灵魂层面上，自我力量的努力，无可避免的结果是自我灵性在它的平衡上的失落，直到跌回到他先前上升之处。

But to even such a soul, the opportunity of a return is given--and such souls make the return journey, paying the terrible penalty according to the invariable Law.
但是，即使是对这样的灵魂，上帝都会给他一次悔改的机会，
因而他们还是有机会达到被惩罚前的高度的，
但按照恒定的法则，他们都是要付出代价的。

In conclusion we would again remind you that according to the Principle of Correspondence, which embodies the truth: "As Above so Below; as Below, so Above,"
结语有必要再强调一下，根据一致法则向我们展示的真理：源头怎样，支流就怎样；支流怎样，源头就怎样。

all of the Seven Hermetic Principles are in full operation on all of the many planes, Physical Mental and Spiritual.
这七个赫尔墨斯法则是存在于以上所有层面的，包括物质层面、精神层面和灵魂层面。
The Principle of Mental Substance of course applies to all the planes, for all are held in the Mind of THE ALL.
精神法则必然可以运用到所有层面，因为一切都是存在于上帝思想中的。

The Principle of Correspondence manifests in all, for there is a correspondence, harmony and agreement between the several planes.
一致法则显化于万物中，因为各层面之间存在着一致性、和谐关系。

The Principle of Vibration manifests on all planes, in fact the very differences that go to make the "planes" arise from Vibration, as we have explained.
振动法则显化于所有层面，事实上正如我们所解释的，产生各层面的差异本身也是源于振动的。

The Principle of Polarity manifests on each plane, the extremes of the Poles being apparently opposite and contradictory.
极性法则显化于每个层面，极端的极性是显然的对立和矛盾。

The Principle of Rhythm manifests on each Plane, the movement of the phenomena having its ebb and flow, rise and flow, incoming and outgoing.
节律法则显化于每个层面，现象的运动有它的涨起和消落，上升和下降，涌入和涌出。

The Principle of Cause and Effect manifests on each Plane, every Effect having its Cause and every Cause having its effect.
因果法则显化在每一个层面，有因必有果，有果必有因。

The Principle of Gender manifests on each Plane, the Creative Energy being always manifest, and operating along the lines of its Masculine and Feminine Aspects.
性别法则显化于每个层面，创造性能量一直显化着，这些能量在雄性和雌性方面起作用。

"As Above so Below; as Below, so Above."
This centuries old Hermetic axiom embodies one of the great Principles of Universal Phenomena.
源头怎样，支流就怎样；支流怎样，源头就怎样。
这句流传了几百年的赫尔墨斯格言揭示了宇宙现象的伟大法则。

As we proceed with our consideration of the remaining Principles, we will see even more clearly the truth of the universal nature of this great Principle of Correspondence.
当我们继续进行对其余法则的思考，我们将看得更加清楚，这个伟大的一致法则是宇宙本质真理。

6. The Principle of Cause and Effect
VI.因果法则

"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause;
everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name
for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation,
but nothing escapes the Law."--The Kybalion.
凡因都有果；凡果都有因；每一件事情的发生都遵循法则；运气只是法则的一个名称，而不是它本身得到承认。有许多层面的果，但任何事物都逃脱不了法则。
——Kybalion

This Principle embodies the fact that there is a Cause for every Effect; an Effect from every Cause.
这个法则包含这样的真理，即每一种结果都有一个原因；一种结果来源于各种原因。

It explains that: "Everything Happens according to Law"; that nothing ever "merely happens"; that there is no such thing as Chance;
它表明：每一件事情的发生都遵循法则；从来没有一件事情只是单纯的发生；没有运气这样的事情；

that while there are various planes of Cause and Effect, the higher dominating the lower planes, still nothing ever entirely escapes the Law.
尽管有各种层次的原因和结果，但总是更高层次的统御更低层次的，始终没有任何事情逃脱得了法则。

The Hermetists understand the art and methods of rising above the ordinary plane of Cause and Effect, to a certain degree, and by mentally rising to a higher plane they become Causers instead of Effects.
赫尔墨斯主义者懂得升华而超越于普通层面因果的艺术和方法，从而达到某个特定的层级，并且通过精神的升华达到更高的层级，以致他们自身成为主动的原因者而非被动的结果。

The masses of people are carried along, obedient to environment; the wills and desires of others stronger than themselves;
一般大众是被带动的，他们屈服于环境；其他人的意志和愿望比他们的更强大；

heredity; suggestion; and other outward causes moving them about like pawns on the Chessboard of Life.
遗传，建议，还有其他外部的原因，使得他们像生活棋盘上的兵卒那样来回变动。

But the Masters, rising to the plane above, dominate their moods, characters, qualities, and powers, as well as the environment surrounding them, and become Movers instead of pawns.
但是，大师们，升高到上级层面，控制他们的情绪、性格、品质和力量，也控制他们周围的环境，这些大师成为主动者，而不是兵卒。

They help to PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE, instead of being played and moved about by other wills and environment.
他们主动去玩生活的棋局，而不是被他人的意志和环境所玩弄和驱动。

They USE the Principle instead of being its tools. The Masters obey the Causation of the higher planes, but they help to RULE on their own plane.
他们运用法则而不是成为它的工具。大师们遵循更高层面的因果律，他们主动去控制他们自己的因与果。

In this statement there is condensed a wealth of Hermetic knowledge--let him read who can.
这里有一个表述是赫尔墨斯知识财富的浓缩——让他明白谁有能力。

7. The Principle of Gender
VII.性别法则

"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine
and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all
planes."--The Kybalion.
性别存在于一切事物中；每一种事物都有它的雄性和雌性的法则；性别显化于所有层面。
——Kybalion

This Principle embodies the truth that there is GENDER manifested in everything--the Masculine and Feminine Principles ever at work.
这个法则包含这样的真理，即每一种事物中都显化出性别——雄性和雌性的法则一直都在发生作用。

This is true not only of the Physical Plane, but of the Mental and even the Spiritual Planes.
不仅在物理层面，而且在精神，甚至在灵魂层面，这都是千真万确的。

On the Physical Plane, the Principle manifests as SEX, on the higher planes it takes higher forms, but the Principle is ever the same.
在物质层面，这个法则显化为性，在更高的层面，它以更高的形式来显化，但这个法则永远是相同的。

No creation, physical, mental or spiritual, is possible without this Principle.
没有这个法则，就不可能创造任何物理的、精神的或者灵魂的存在体。

An understanding of its laws will throw light on many a subject that has perplexed the minds of men.
对这个法则的理解将会使许多困惑人们心理的课题变得豁然开朗。

The Principle of Gender works ever in the direction of generation, regeneration, and creation.
性别法则永远在产生、重生和创造方面运作。

Everything, and every person, contains the two Elements or Principles, or this great Principle, within it, him or her.
每一种事物、每一个人都包含有这两种要素或法则，或者这个伟大的法则在它、他或她里面。

Every Male thing has the Female Element also; every Female contains also the Male Principle.
每一个雄性体具有雌性成分，每一个雌性体也有雄性成分。

If you would understand the philosophy of Mental and Spiritual Creation, Generation, and Re-generation, you must understand and study this Hermetic Principle. It contains the solution of many mysteries of Life.
如果你要掌握精神和灵魂的创造、产生和重生的哲学，你就一定要理解和研究这个神秘的法则。它隐含着许多生活秘密的解决之道。

We caution you that this Principle has no reference to the many base, pernicious and degrading lustful theories, teachings and practices, which are taught under fanciful titles, and which are a prostitution of the great natural principle of Gender.
我们提醒你，这个法则无关那些在各种花哨的名义下传教的，以及滥用这个伟大的固有法则的许多低级、卑劣和淫秽的理论、教条和实践。
Such base revivals of the ancient infamous forms of Phallicism tend to ruin mind, body and soul, and the Hermetic Philosophy has ever sounded the warning note against these degraded teachings which tend toward lust, licentiousness, and perversion of Nature's principles.
这些败坏的、臭名昭著的古代生殖崇拜主义的重演会导致心理、肉体和灵魂的毁灭，而赫尔墨斯哲学一直发出警告声明，反对这些导致贪淫放纵和歪曲自然法则的低劣的教导。
If you seek such teachings, you must go elsewhere for them--Hermeticism contains nothing for you along these lines.
如果你寻找这样的教导，你就去其他地方寻找它们——赫尔墨斯主义没有任何这类污秽的内容给你。

To the pure, all things are pure; to the base, all things are base.
想要纯洁，一切都会纯洁；想要卑劣，一切都会卑劣。

第二章七个赫尔墨斯法则

"The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these,
understandingly, possesses the Magic Key before whose
touch all the Doors of the Temple fly open."--The Kybalion.
真理的法则有七项。懂得这些法则的人，将拥有一把神奇的钥匙，触及庙堂的所有门都会自动打开。——Kybalion

The Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy is based, are as follows:
整个的赫尔墨斯哲学都建立在七个赫尔墨斯法则上，法则如下：

1. The Principle of Mentalism.
2. The Principle of Correspondence.
3. The Principle of Vibration.
4. The Principle of Polarity.
5. The Principle of Rhythm.
6. The Principle of Cause and Effect.
7. The Principle of Gender.

1. the principle of mentalism　精神法则
2. the principle of correspondence　一致法则
3. the principle of vibration　振动法则
4. the principle of polarity　极性法则
5. the principle of rhythm　节律法则
6. the principle of cause & effect　因果法则
7. the principle of gender　性别法则

These Seven Principles will be discussed and explained as we proceed with these lessons. A short explanation of each, however, may as well be given at this point.
这七个法则将在后面的课程里进一步讨论和说明。这里只对每一个进行简短解释。

1. The Principle of Mentalism
I.精神法则

"THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental."--The Kybalion.
全能者是思想；宇宙是精神。——Kybalion

This Principle embodies the truth that "All is Mind."
It explains that THE ALL (which is the Substantial Reality underlying all the outward manifestations and appearances which we know under the terms of "The Material Universe"; the "Phenomena of Life"; "Matter"; "Energy"; and, in short, all that is apparent to our material senses) is SPIRIT which in itself is UNKNOWABLE and UNDEFINABLE, but which may be considered and thought of as AN UNIVERSAL, INFINITE, LIVING MIND.
这个法则包括这样的真理，即一切都是思想。
它表明万事万物，包括隐含在所有外在表征和现象即我们所知的物质世界之下的大量事实、生命现象、物质、能量，一句话，一切对于我们的身体感官来说显而易见的事物，都是精神，而它本身是不可知和不可界定的，但可以视为一体的、无限的、充满生命力的思想。

It also explains that all the phenomenal world or universe is simply a Mental Creation of THE ALL, subject to the Laws of Created Things, and that the universe, as a whole, and in its parts or units, has its existence in the Mind of THE ALL, in which Mind we "live and move and have our being."
它也说明现象世界或宇宙只是全能者的精神创造罢了，它们遵从于事物的创造法则。而宇宙作为一个整体，以及它的各个部分或单元，在全能者的思想中都有它的存在，在思想那里，我们“生活着、运动着，并拥有我们的存在体”。

This Principle, by establishing the Mental Nature of the Universe, easily explains all of the varied mental and psychic phenomena that occupy such a large portion of the public attention, and which, without such explanation, are non-understandable and defy scientific treatment.
这个法则，通过宇宙精神特质的建造，很容易地解释所有各式各样的占据如此一大部分公众注意力的精神和心灵现象，而且，没有这样的解释是不可理解和不符合科学论述的。

An understanding of this great Hermetic Principle of Mentalism enables the individual to readily grasp the laws of the Mental Universe, and to apply the same to his well-being and advancement.
对这个伟大神秘精神法则的理解，使个体能充分地领会宇宙的精神法则，而且同样地应用于自己的健康和进步。

The Hermetic Student is enabled to apply intelligently the great Mental Laws, instead of using them in a haphazard manner.
赫尔墨斯神秘学说的学生能够聪明地运用这些伟大的精神法则，而不是偶然地应用它们。

With the Master-Key in his possession, the student may unlock the many doors of the mental and psychic temple of knowledge, and enter the same freely and intelligently.
由于拥有这样的万能钥匙，学生可以打开许多精神和心灵圣殿之门，也同样可以自由和明智地进去。

This Principle explains the true nature of "Energy," "Power," and "Matter," and why and how all these are subordinate to the Mastery of Mind.
这个法则解释了能量、力量和物质的真正特质，以及这些为什么和怎样从属于精神的主宰。

One of the old Hermetic Masters wrote, long ages ago: "He who grasps the truth of the Mental Nature of the Universe is well advanced on The Path to Mastery." And these words are as true today as at the time they were first written. Without this Master-Key, Mastery is impossible, and the student knocks in vain at the many doors of The Temple.
很久很久以前，一位古老的神秘大师写道：掌握宇宙精神特质真理的人，将在通往权力的道路上遥遥领先。这些话在今天仍然是正确的，就像它刚被写下的最初时刻那样。没有这把万能钥匙，获得权力是不可能的，而学生也只能在许多圣殿的门前徒劳地敲击。

2. The Principle of Correspondence
II.一致法则

"As above, so below; as below, so above."--The Kybalion.
源头怎样，支流就怎样；支流怎样，源头就怎样。——Kybalion

as Above, so Below; as Below, so Above.——Kybalion
其下如其上；其上如其下。——Kybalion

This Principle embodies the truth that there is always a Correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various planes of Being and Life. The old Hermetic axiom ran in these words: "As above, so below; as below, so above."
这个法则包含了这样的真理，即在法则与万物和生命各个层面的现象之间总是有着一致性。古老的赫尔墨斯公理用这样的话讲述：“源头怎样，支流就怎样；支流怎样，源头就怎样。”

And the grasping of this Principle gives one the means of solving many a dark paradox, and hidden secret of Nature.
领会这个法则，可给一个人以有效的方法来解释许多看似自相矛盾的隐晦说法，以及隐藏着的自然秘密。

There are planes beyond our knowing, but when we apply the Principle of Correspondence to them we are able to understand much that would otherwise be unknowable to us.
有很多层面超出我们的所知，但当我们应用一致法则来面对它们，我们就理解很多，否则，我们将对其懵懂无知。
This Principle is of universal application and manifestation, on the various planes of the material, mental, and spiritual universe--it is an Universal Law.
这个法则在物质、精神和灵魂世界的层面上是普遍适用和广泛显现的，它是一个宇宙法则。
The ancient Hermetists considered this Principle as one of the most important mental instruments by which man was able to pry aside the obstacles which hid from view the Unknown.
古代的赫尔墨斯主义者把这个法则看作是一个最强大的心理工具，它可以使人撬开隐藏于某处的看不见的障碍。

Its use even tore aside the Veil of Isis to the extent that a glimpse of the face of the goddess might be caught.
它的应用甚至撕开伊西斯的神秘面纱，以致我们可以窥见女神的容颜。
Just as a knowledge of the Principles of Geometry enables man to measure distant suns and their movements, while seated in his observatory, so a knowledge of the Principle of Correspondence enables Man to reason intelligently from the Known to the Unknown. Studying the monad, he understands the archangel.
正如几何法则的知识使人坐在天文台上就能够测量遥远恒星的距离，以及它们的运动，因此一致法则的知识可以使人聪明地从已知推测出未知。研究单细胞，他就理解天使长。

3. The Principle of Vibration
III.振动法则

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."—The Kybalion.
　　没有什么事物是静止的；一切都运动；一切都振动。——Kybalion

This Principle embodies the truth that "everything is in motion"; "everything vibrates"; "nothing is at rest"; facts which Modern Science endorses, and which each new scientific discovery tends to verify.

这个法则指明了这样的真理，即“每一种事物都处于运动状态之中”、“每一种事物都振动”、“没有什么事物是静止的”。这个事实已得到现代科学认同，而且每一种新的科学发现都一再证实它。

And yet this Hermetic Principle was enunciated thousands of years ago, by the Masters of Ancient Egypt. This Principle explains that the differences between different manifestations of Matter, Energy, Mind, and even Spirit, result largely from varying rates of Vibration.
这一神秘的法则是由几千年前古代埃及的大师们所阐述的。这个法则揭示了物质、能量、思想等不同显化之间的区别，这些区别很大程度上起源于振动频率的各不相同。

From THE ALL, which is Pure Spirit, down to the grossest form of Matter, all is in vibration--the higher the vibration, the higher the position in the scale.
从作为一切源头的纯粹精神到形态最粗陋的物质，全都处于振动状态——振动频率越高，就越处于高等级的位置。

The vibration of Spirit is at such an infinite rate of intensity and rapidity that it is practically at rest--just as a rapidly moving wheel seems to be motionless.
精神振动频率的强度和速度无限大，以致它几乎是静止不动的——正如快速飞转的轮子似乎是一动不动的那样。
And at the other end of the scale, there are gross forms of matter whose vibrations are so low as to seem at rest.
在等级的另一极端，形态粗陋的物质振动频率是如此之低，以致看起来也是静止的。

Between these poles, there are millions upon millions of varying degrees of vibration.
在这两个极端之间，有成百上千种不同程度的振动频率。

From corpuscle and electron, atom and molecule, to worlds and universes, everything is in vibratory motion. This is also true on the planes of energy and force (which are but varying degrees of vibration); and also on the mental planes (whose states depend upon vibrations); and even on to the spiritual planes.
从血细胞和电子、原子和分子，到世界和宇宙，每一种事物都处于振动性的运动状态中。在能量和力量（它们只是不同程度的振动波）层面上，这也是正确的。
在心理（它的存在状态有赖于振动波）层面亦如此，甚至在精神层面也一样。
An understanding of this Principle, with the appropriate formulas, enables Hermetic students to control their own mental vibrations as well as those of others.
按恰当的准则来领会这个法则，能使赫尔墨斯的学生们控制他们的心理振动波，以及其他层面的振动波。

The Masters also apply this Principle to the conquering of Natural phenomena, in various ways.
大师们也以不同的形式应用这个法则来征服自然现象。
He who understands the Principle of Vibration, has grasped the scepter of power," says one of the old writers.
那些理解了振动法则的，已经握住了力量的权杖。一个古老的作家曾这样讲。

INTRODUCTION
导言
We take great pleasure in presenting to the attention of students and investigators of the Secret Doctrines this little work based upon the world-old Hermetic Teachings. There has been so little written upon this subject, not with　standing the countless references to the Teachings in the many works upon occultism, that the many earnest searchers after the Arcane Truths will doubtless welcome the appearance of this present volume.
我们怀着极大的喜悦，把这一个建立在久远的赫尔墨斯教导（Hermetic Teachings）之上的些微工作，呈现到奥秘学的学习者和寻求者的注视下。对于这个主题，只有稀少的材料，无法相对难以计数的神秘学方面的教导材料。正是因为这样，许多诚心的探索者，在经过对奥秘真理的寻求后，无疑会欢迎这样一本书的出现。

The purpose of this work is not the enunciation of any special philosophy or doctrine, but rather is to give to the students a statement of the Truth that will serve to reconcile the many bits of occult knowledge that they may have acquired, but which are apparently opposed to each other and which often serve to discourage and disgust the beginner in the study.
这本书的目的，不是为了阐述任何特殊的哲学或者体系，而是为了给学习者们一个关于真理的综括，这些真理散落在你们获得的奥秘知识里，而其中有些存在着明显的自相矛盾，使得初学者们，容易产生混乱并且导致反感。
Our intent is not to erect a new Temple of Knowledge, but rather to place in the hands of the student a Master-Key with which he may open the many inner doors in the Temple of Mystery through the main portals he has already entered.
我们的目的不是建立一个新的知识殿堂，而是要把万能钥匙交到他们手，让他们通过他已经进入的主要入口，打开众多奥秘之殿的内门。

There is no portion of the occult teachings possessed by the world which have been so closely guarded as the fragments of the Hermetic Teachings which have come down to us over the tens of centuries which have elapsed since the lifetime of its great founder, Hermes Trismegistus, the "scribe of the gods," who dwelt in old Egypt in the days when the present race of men was in its infancy.
在这个世界拥有的奥秘教导中，没有哪个部分，象赫尔墨斯教导的片断，这样封闭地保守着。它们从几十个世纪前传递下来，自从它的伟大的奠基者赫尔墨斯-特利斯墨吉斯忒斯（Hermes Trismegistus）消失后，那位众神的记录员降生在古埃及时代，这次文明中的人类那时还在幼年期。

Contemporary with Abraham, and, if the legends be true, an instructor of that venerable sage, Hermes was, and is, the Great Central Sun of Occultism, whose rays have served to Illumine the countless teachings which have been promulgated since his time. All the fundamental and basic teachings embedded in the esoteric teachings of every race may be traced back to Hermes. Even the most ancient teachings of India undoubtedly have their roots in the original Hermetic Teachings.
与亚伯拉罕同时，或者，如果传说是真的，古老传说中的一个教导者，赫尔墨斯（Hermes）曾是，当然现在也是，奥秘主义的伟大核心太阳，它的光芒点亮了无法计数的的教导。那些教导，从他的时代起，就已经开始传播。镶嵌在每一个种族中的那些奥秘教导的根基，所有的都能追踪到赫尔墨斯。甚至连印度的最古老的教义，也无疑是植根在传统的赫尔墨斯教导中。

From the land of the Ganges many advanced occultists wandered to the land of Egypt, and sat at the feet of the Master. From him they obtained the Master-Key which explained and reconciled their divergent views, and thus the Secret Doctrine was firmly established.
从恒河的岸边，许多优秀的奥秘学者走入了埃及之地，坐在大师的脚下。从他那里，他们获得这个万能钥匙——可以解释并且调和他们有分别的观点。由此，奥秘学说被坚固地确立了。
From other lands also came the learned ones, all of whom regarded Hermes as the Master of Masters,
也有从其它地域来的学习者，他们都承认赫尔墨斯是大师中的大师。

and his influence was so great that in spite of the many wanderings from the path on the part of the centuries of teachers in these different lands,
他的影响如此巨大，尽管多个世纪以来，许多心理流荡在许多不同地域的教师们有局限的教导中。

there may still be found a certain basic resemblance and correspondence which underlies the many and often quite divergent theories entertained and taught by the occultists of these different lands today.

但在它们之中，仍然可以发现某些基本的相同和相应处。在许多和通常教导完全分歧的理论中，那些如今仍被这些不同区域的神秘学者思考和教导着。

The student of Comparative Religions will be able to perceive the influence of the Hermetic Teachings in every religion worthy of the name, now known to man, whether it be a dead religion or one in full vigor in our own times. There is always certain correspondence in spite of the contradictory features, and the Hermetic Teachings act as the Great Reconciler.

比较宗教的学习者，能够察觉每种宗教中赫尔墨斯教导的影响。这些名字，如今被人们所知晓的，在我们这个时代，无论是死的宗教或是那些充满活力的。尽管有些相对点，但总有某些相一致的，赫尔墨斯教导正是伟大的调和者。

The lifework of Hermes seems to have been in the direction of planting the great Seed-Truth which has grown and blossomed in so many strange forms, rather than to establish a school of philosophy which would dominate, the world's thought.
赫尔墨斯的毕生工作象是在播撒种子-真理，这些以多种奇怪的形式生长、开花，而不是去建立可以指导世界心理的一个哲学流派。

But, nevertheless, the original truths taught by him have been kept intact in their original purity by a few men each age, who, refusing great numbers of half-developed students and followers, followed the Hermetic custom and reserved their truth for the few who were ready to comprehend and master it. From lip to ear the truth has been handed down among the few.

但是，他教导的那些本源真理，还是被每个时代的一些人，完整地保持住它们原初的纯洁。这些人拒绝大量不成熟的学生和追随者，只是跟随赫尔墨斯的传承，保存这些真理给少数可以领会和掌控的。从唇到耳，这真理在少数人中传递着。

There have always been a few Initiates in each generation, in the various lands of the earth, who kept alive the sacred flame of the Hermetic Teachings, and such have always been willing to use their lamps to re-light the lesser lamps of the outside world, when the light of truth grew dim, and clouded by reason of neglect, and when the wicks became clogged with foreign matter.
每一代中，在地球的不同大陆，总有一些启蒙者，他们保持着赫尔墨斯教导的神圣火种的燃烧，也总是利用他们的光亮去点亮更暗的外在世界。

There were always a few to tend faithfully the altar of the Truth, upon which was kept alight the Perpetual Lamp of Wisdom.
当真理的光芒暗淡时，被轻视遮蔽时，当灯芯受到外在物质阻碍时，总有一些诚心照管真理之圣坛的，保守着永恒的智慧之灯的燃烧不息。

These men devoted their lives to the labor of love which the poet has so well stated in his lines:

这些人奉献他们的生命到爱的工作上，这首诗篇以这样的诗句开始：

"O, let not the flame die out! Cherished age after age in its dark cavern
--in its holy temples cherished. Fed by pure ministers of love
--let not the flame die out!"
噢，不要让火焰熄灭！在黑暗的洞穴中--它神圣的殿堂里，世世代代守护着它。用纯净的爱来服侍。不要让火焰熄灭！

These men have never sought popular approval, nor numbers of followers. T
这些人从不寻求大众的承认，也不希求追随者的人数。
hey are indifferent to these things, for they know how few there are in each generation who are ready for the truth, or who would recognize it if it were presented to them.
他们和这些不同，因为他们知道每个世代为这个真理准备的人是如此稀少，能认识呈现在他们面前的珍宝的人是如此稀少。

They reserve the "strong meat for men," while others furnish the "milk for babes." They reserve their pearls of wisdom for the few elect, who recognize their value and who wear them in their crowns, instead of casting them before the materialistic vulgar swine, who would trample them in the mud and mix them with their disgusting mental food.
当其他人只能吃婴儿乳汁时，他们贮藏着给成人吃的肉干。他们保存他们智慧的珍珠给少许被挑选者，被挑选者认识其价值，并且将其戴在头冠上的。而不是撒在追求物质的愚人面前，这些人会将其与他们可憎的精神食粮混在一起，在泥浆里践踏。

But still these men have never forgotten or overlooked the original teachings of Hermes, regarding the passing on of the words of truth to those ready to receive it, which teaching is stated in The Kybalion as follows:
"Where fall the footsteps of the Master, the ears of those ready for his Teaching open wide."
但这些人从不遗忘或者轻视这些赫尔墨斯的本源教导，对于传递真理的语言到那些准备接受的，在Kybalion中这样说，大师的脚踪落在哪里，那些对他的教诲有准备的耳朵大大张开。

And again: "When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with wisdom."
还有：当学习者的耳朵准备好倾听，那么智慧的嘴唇会来充满它。

But their customary attitude has always been strictly in accordance with the other Hermetic aphorism, also in The Kybalion: "The lips of Wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding."
但对那些他们习以为常的思考形态已经固化，则和其它赫尔墨斯格言一样，Kybalion说：智慧之唇紧闭，除了对可理解之耳。

There are those who have criticized this attitude of the Hermetists, and who have claimed that they did not manifest the proper spirit in their policy of seclusion and reticence.
有一些人批评这种赫尔墨斯者的态度，并且声称，在隐密和沉默的方针中，赫尔墨斯者们没有显化出特有的精神。
But a moment's glance back over the pages of history will show the wisdom of the Masters, who knew the folly of attempting to teach to the world that which it was neither ready or willing to receive.
但回顾一下：在历史之页上展示了大师们的智慧，他们知道试图教导这个世界的愚蠢，因为世人们还没有准备，也不愿意接受。

The Hermetists have never sought to be martyrs, and have, instead, sat silently aside with a pitying smile on their closed lips,
赫尔墨斯者们从不寻求成为烈士，而是默默地坐在一边，带着同情的微笑在他们紧闭的唇边，

while the "heathen raged noisily about them" in their customary amusement of putting to death and torture the honest but misguided enthusiasts who imagined that they could force upon a race of barbarians the truth capable of being understood only by the elect who had advanced along The Path.
当不信者们在他们身边对他们疯狂地叫嚣作为习以为常的消遣，折磨信仰者甚至使他们死去、消亡。
但是也有被误导的激进者，设想他们能够在野蛮种族上发力，让大众们有理解真实的能力，通过在这条道路上已有发展的拣选者去实现。

And the spirit of persecution has not as yet died out in the land. There are certain Hermetic Teachings, which, if publicly promulgated, would bring down upon the teachers a great cry of scorn and revilement from the multitude, who would again raise the cry of "Crucify! Crucify."
迫害的狂潮还没有从大地上死去。有一些赫尔墨斯教导，如果向公众传播，会召来群众对导师们的大声的嘲笑和诽谤，再一次出现钉死他！钉死他！的声浪。

In this little work we have endeavored to give you an idea of the fundamental teachings of The Kybalion, striving to give you the working Principles, leaving you to apply therm yourselves, rather than attempting to work out the teaching in detail.
在这个微薄的工作中，我们尽力给出Kybalion基本教导的概念，努力给予你们运作法则，把实践应用留给你们自己，而不是详细演绎教导。

If you are a true student, you will be able to work out and apply these Principles--if not, then you must develop yourself into one, for otherwise the Hermetic Teachings will be as "words, words, words" to you.

如果你是真正的学习者，你能够演绎和应用这些法则——如果不能，那么你必须发展你自己，和太一同在；否则，赫尔墨斯教导对你只是文字，文字，文字。
