关于推出医疗床的 12 页文件
运营披露，2021 年 11 月 21 日
什么是医疗床？
1. 医疗床。
他们使用一种技术，通过使用您 DNA 中的原始代码，将您的身体转变为最佳健康状态。这项技术已经过测试。有了这项技术，我们的社会将转向关注健康而不是医疗领域的疾病。任何行业都没有理由从疾病中获利。有了 Med Beds，每个人都将能够自由地恢复健康并过上比我们最近能够经历的更年长的健康生活。
2. 技术。
这项技术已经使用了 50 年，并且非常安全。在过去的 50 年里，秘密太空计划成功地使用了它。
可用性
资金。
医疗床正在专门的治疗中心设置。最初，它们将在当前的医疗保健系统之外提供。当医疗床技术公开后，医院和大型制药公司将被淘汰。这是因为我们的医疗系统将不再以疾病为基础，而是以健康为基础。
该技术将完全由白帽/军队资助。
成本。
使用 Med Beds 是免费的。它们将免费提供给公众。医疗床的费用将由军队和白帽支付。
时间表
1 推出。
每个国家都会有一个中央中心供人们预约。第一次预约将是一次咨询，其中包括病史和全身检查。然后患者的信息将被输入到一台量子计算机中，计算机将决定患者医疗需求的紧迫性。将根据该评估安排附近的中心。
2. 发射。
预期发射。目前，预计任命将在中旬开始
2022 年 1 月。该日期可能会因军事活动而改变。
最初，医疗床将在一段时间内受到军方的严格控制，因此该技术不会被滥用。不会因为社会地位而受到优待。所有人都将得到公平对待，床位将首先提供给急需的人。
3. 全国性的。
当医疗床被释放时，将建立一条全国电话热线供人们预约。
4. 生产。
Med Beds 正在使用先进技术进行复制。据估计，每天可以生产 1,000 张 Med Beds 用于分发。
专业人员
1. 医务人员。
Med Beds 是一种先进的医疗技术。起初 Med Beds 仅适用于特定的康复中心，您自己的诊所或家庭无法购买。像所有先进的医疗技术一样，安全使用该技术需要进行大量培训。它还需要大量关于生物学、医学和疾病的知识。对于没有接受过医学培训的人来说，至少需要 12 到 18 个月的培训。首次推出时，医疗床仅供经过军事人员培训的专业医务人员使用。
这些诊所将由军队的医疗部门与仁人一起经营。那些将作为学员使用床位的人将被要求仅受邀工作。稍后，将为医疗专业人员提供课程和职位空缺。
未经医学培训的人不能操作这种医疗技术。例如，如果您的患者患有心力衰竭或因车祸严重受伤，您需要了解急救以及如何在进入 Med Bed 之前对患者进行治疗。
专业人士需要知道如何读取床上出现的某些异常情况。许多人不会了解医疗技术。这不是一个人可以简单地按下按钮来操作的技术。根本不是那样的。
2. 中心。
我的理解是，它们最初将位于分散在每个州的主要中心，并且无法购买。据我所知，您的应用程序将取决于需要，已经可用的服务。如果需要，在等待时将有机会使用其他技术。
3. 培训。您知道是否会有针对 Med Beds 或未在大学接受过灌输的较低技术的培训计划？可能会有医生短缺，因为他们中的许多人将被指控犯有危害人类罪。
基本上，将首先接触真正具有更高振动的医护人员或具有医学知识的人。最初将仅通过邀请选择医疗专业人员。
人们将接受所有类型的医疗床的培训，因为每个中心将有多种类型的床。每位工作人员都需要接受操作医疗床的培训。
4. 无需培训费用。
军队和仁人将提供训练。最初的培训是免费的。培训类型将与您的个人背景相关。例如，助理护士需要比脑外科医生更多的培训。
5. 团队。
如果你想拥有一个医疗床中心，你需要六间手术室和七张医疗床；两个在需要超大的房间之一。需要有一个术前室和一个恢复室。两者都有大约 30 张床位。此外，还有一个有大约 27 个房间的过夜病房，每个房间有四张左右的床。还需要大约 15 到 20 名辅导员以及任何其他整体工作人员。您还需要支持人员，如接待员、自助餐厅工作人员、清洁工、洗衣工作人员、看守人员等。然后是负责操作病床的医生和技术人员。此外，您需要许多护士进行前后护理。这是一项艰巨的任务，这就是为什么在很长一段时间内，Med Beds 将由军队和联盟控制。
治疗准备和预期
初次预约。
程序持续几分钟到 15 小时不等，具体取决于您所做的事情。因此，当您致电您的国家中心时，他们将与您附近的中心进行初步咨询。到达会诊时间后，医务人员会去查看您的病史。在那次会议上，您将进行全身扫描，通常会穿着一种医院礼服，仅持续几分钟。然后他们将讨论扫描结果和结果的详细信息。您将讨论您想要做什么，并且该信息将被输入计算机。然后计算机将决定您在名单上的位置，并通知您治疗日期、时间和地点。
在您接受治疗的当天，当您到达时，您会被要求换上长袍并给予轻微的镇静剂。然后当你上床时，会释放出一种睡眠气体。这种气体会让您在治疗期间保持睡眠。治疗完成后，您将被转移到恢复区并由医疗专业人员进行检查。根据您经历的程序类型，您也可能会被辅导员看到。
2. 会议。
大多数问题将通过一次访问得到解决。更复杂的案例可能需要多达 3 个会话。
3. 会议准备。
每个人都在上床前服用镇静剂，然后在治疗期间入睡，无论是几分钟还是 15 小时。幽闭恐惧症不是问题。
4. 优先级。
未接种者将优先于接种者。自愿将疫苗毒药注入体内而遭受副作用的人将在未接种疫苗的人之后接受治疗。一段时间以来，关于疫苗潜在危险的大量信息已经出现。每个人都能够做功课并了解潜在的危害。那些出生时患有严重疾病并患有其他疾病的人将首先使用医疗床。每个人都可以选择是否接种疫苗。每个人都可以自己选择风险。
尽管未接种疫苗的人有优先权，但预计所有需要治疗的人都会得到及时治疗。无需担心在医疗床上接受治疗。
5. 无家可归者。
将有人道主义小组为无家可归者提供治疗。没有人被抛在后面。
6. 期望。您还需要意识到，有了 Nesara/Gesara，世界将会改变，正如我们现在所看到的那样。不会有无家可归者、乞丐、贫穷、苦难或饥饿。一切都会改变。
治疗能力
1. 健康益处。
Med Beds 可以纠正患者的医疗问题，使个人的身体恢复到最佳状态。
2.再生器官。
床可以替换或生长四肢和器官。
3. 新骨头和治疗。
对于那些有假体的人，假体将被床移除并溶解，以便进行有益的愈合。
4. 手术。
医疗床的手术将立即产生效果。例如，需要手术的棒球投手可以进入医疗床并在治疗后很快准备好投球。实际上，他们将在醒来并离开医疗床之前准备好投球。
5. VAX 损坏。
床可以逆转vax造成的伤害，但是那些没有vaxx并且有自然伤害的人，他们的伤害将是优先考虑的。
6.心脏病患者。
Med Beds 可治愈各种类型的心脏问题。
7. 成瘾。是的。上瘾是可以治愈的。但是人们仍然需要首先研究为什么他们会上瘾。
8.溶解术加片。
床将溶解任何通过手术添加的碎片并修复损伤，使身体恢复到问题开始之前的健康状态。
9. 化疗。
Med Bed 不仅可以治愈化疗造成的损伤，还可以使身体恢复完全健康，消除所有异常生长。
10. 过敏。
过敏将被消除。
11. 牙科。
所有牙科问题都将得到修复。牙齿会再生。如果需要，牙齿也会重新矫正。
12. 超重。
是的。您可以恢复到理想体重。
13. 视觉与听觉。
是的。您的视力和听力可以恢复到最佳状态。白内障也可以得到矫正。
14. 疤痕。
疤痕会被修复并消失。
15. 精神分裂症。
心理问题是可以修复的。
16. 自闭症。
可以帮助自闭症儿童康复。
17. 骨骼问题。
骨骼调整和骨骼矫正等正畸问题也将得到处理。
18. 抑郁症。
抑郁症会逐渐得到帮助。最终，个人将不得不以积极的方式应对创伤。将有许多受过精神训练的人类和非人类顾问来帮助任何患有抑郁症的人。
19. 改进。
Med Beds 可以使某人更善解人意、更聪明等。还可以学习/下载其他语言。然而，重要的是要有理由使用您请求下载的改进。例如，如果您不打算使用它们，就没有理由下载这个星球上的所有语言。在这个星球上体验的很大一部分是学习你需要的知识的过程。
20. 完美健康。
床将使您的身体恢复最佳健康状态。
21. 治愈心灵。
当你治愈心灵时，你就治愈了身体。
22. 活力。
Med Beds 使个人恢复最佳健康状态。例如，如果您 80 岁，您将拥有 80 岁的最佳健康状况。这并不意味着你会像 30 岁一样敏捷和健康。年龄回归可以延长你的寿命。不是每个人都会被批准进行年龄回归。这不是掉以轻心的事情。它将被批准用于正确的目的。
23. 出生问题。
床可以纠正甚至在出生时就出现的问题。
24. 脱氧核糖核酸。
Med Beds 将逆转被关闭的基因表达，例如 MTHFR、雌激素优势以及 DNA 排毒和清理的甲基化问题。
其他物理变化
1. 头发。
你可以改变你的头发颜色和头发的生长。
2. 眼睛。
你可以改变你的眼睛颜色。视力和眼睛问题也可以修复。
3. 高度。
但是，只有在极端情况下才能改变您的身高。
4. 性别。
如果需要，Med Beds 可以将性别切换回您的原始性别。
5. 回忆。
如果他们被制服，所有的记忆都会回来。
6.纹身。Med Beds 可以去除纹身。
7. 牙齿。
牙齿可以矫正和再生。
8. 吸烟。
Med Beds 可以消除多年吸烟造成的伤害。
9. 知识。
信息下载是可能的。任何信息都可以下载到您的大脑中，包括其他语言。然而，人类经验的一部分是获取知识。
精神创伤
1. 什么被排除在外？
精神和情感创伤不会得到修复。该技术可以抑制记忆，但在某些时候，您将需要处理创伤。
2. 提升。
Med Bed 似乎只修复了身体，但情绪和精神问题是每个人都需要自己解决的问题。显然，解决这些问题是使个人提高振动的原因。所以也许，拥有一台机器来做这件事会阻碍这个人的扬升过程。这可能就是为什么 Med Bed 始终专注于治愈身体的原因。
一、治疗时间表
1. 最多三次。
这个时候，床唯一不能做的就是让一个人的年龄退化超过三次，因为脑细胞对于超过两次的退化并不大受影响。
2. 信念。
有些人似乎相信治疗必须让我们的意志和所有暗示的困难参与进来。他们可能认为他们需要抗拒奇迹般的医治。
相信这样的事情是每个人的选择，我们必须尊重他们的信仰。
3. 自由意志。
每个人都有自由意志。对于那些消极思考的人，他们可能会离开 Med Bed 会议，并且由于他们的想法，他们可能会在第二天像在 Med Bed 之前一样。有些人享受他们的问题和痛苦。
Med Beds 和新地球不是为了让人们变成你喜欢的样子。这项技术旨在帮助身体健康和活力。以某种方式思考、感受和行动是每个灵魂的选择，以便那个灵魂体验那个特定的生活，而干涉这种体验选择是违反宇宙法则的。
J. 年龄回归
1. 年龄回归。
秘密太空计划尚未完善处理年龄退化对大脑影响的技术。年龄回归是一个与愈合非常不同的过程。该技术在年龄回归中的作用与在愈合中的作用不同。
目前，如果您的年龄退化超过三次，那么痴呆、疤痕组织、神经和运动技能问题的可能性就更大。
2. 年龄回归限制。您可以安全地进行两次年龄回归。第三次，脑细胞开始死亡。
K. 宠物
1. 宠物。
床也适用于宠物。这包括所有动物。狗、猫、马和任何生物。所有动物都可以从 Med Bed 技术中受益。
L. 生活方式
1.生活方式。
人们可能需要一些关于如何保持健康生活方式的教育，以便他们不依赖技术。这就像如果你接受了治疗，然后你继续回去做你一直在做的所有事情，你的结果可能会开始消退。是的，在许多情况下需要更好的生活方式选择。
2. 寿命。
你不能选择永远活着。在脑细胞开始死亡后，您最多可以退缩三次。你需要灵魂转移才能继续。
3. 100 年以上。
是的。您将能够活到 100 岁以上并且保持健康。事实上，人类有可能活到 200 岁以上。
4. 频率。
频率和能量模式访问 DNA 以及它以几何方式组织自身的方式。DNA 本身就是一根天线，从原始源（场）中汲取频率/能量。因此，每个人对源头的个人表达都是特定的，甚至外貌也是其个体方面的表达。
敞开心扉接受祝福是至关重要的。

医疗保健的未来
1. FDA。FDA 不需要批准这项技术。FDA 将被关闭。它们不适合人类。
2.家用。Med Beds 在首次推出后的一段时间内将无法购买。至于成本，在这个问题上没有任何消息。
3. 繁荣富足。期待人类在不久的将来拥有健康、繁荣和富足。医疗床是这种繁荣的一部分。
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

完结
第十五章 格言
"The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by a manifestation and expression in Action, is like the hoarding of precious metals-a vain and foolish thing.
Knowledge, like wealth, is intended for Use. The Law of Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by reason of his conflict with natural forces."
--The Kybalion.
如果不和行动的表达相伴随，知识的拥有，只是如同贵重金属的储存一样——一个徒然和愚蠢的事情。
知识，如同财物，要被使用。去使用的这个法则是普遍性的，并且那些违反的，要承受他们对抗自然力量的痛苦。
——Kybalion
The Hermetic Teachings, while always having been kept securely locked up in the minds of the fortunate possessors thereof, for reasons which we have already stated, were never intended to be merely stored away and secreted.
赫尔墨斯教导，总是被安全地闭锁在有缘的拥有者们的思想里，这样做的原因，我们已经讲过了，但从来都不只是为了远远地储存和严加保密。
The Law of Use is dwelt upon in the Teachings, as you may see by reference to the above quotation from The Kybalion, which states it forcibly.
去使用的这个法则，就在教导里，正如你能从上面的Kybalion引语中看到的那样，从这里面强有力地表达出来。
Knowledge without Use and Expression is a vain thing, bringing no good to its possessor, or to the race.
知识，不去利用和表达，是无益的东西，不会给它的拥有者或者种族带来好处。
Beware of Mental Miserliness, and express into Action that which you have learned. Study the Axioms and Aphorisms, but practice them also.
要小心精神的吝啬，要实践那些你已经学到的。研习这些格言和谚语，并且也要实践它们。
We give below some of the more important Hermetic Axioms, from The Kybalion, with a few comments added to each.
下面我们给出，出自Kybalion的赫尔墨斯格言中一些比较重要的，对每一个加了一点注解。
Make these your own, and practice and use them, for they are not really your own until you have Used them.
要让这些成为你自己的，并且去实践和贯彻它们，因为直到你去利用它们，否则它们还不真正是属于你的。
"To change your mood or mental state--change your vibration."
--The Kybalion.
去改变你的心态和心理状态——改变了你的振动。
——Kybalion
One may change his mental vibrations by an effort of Will, in the direction of deliberately fixing the Attention upon a more desirable state.
靠着意志的努力，在有意识地把注意固定到一个更适宜的状态这个方向上，一个人可以改变他的心理振动。
Will directs the Attention, and Attention changes the Vibration. Cultivate the Art of Attention, by means of the Will, and you have solved the secret of the Mastery of Moods and Mental States.
意志指引着注意，并且注意改变振动。依靠意志的方法，去培养注意的技巧，那样，你就解开了心态和心理状态掌控的奥秘。
"To destroy an undesirable rate of mental vibration,put into operation the principle of Polarity and concentrate upon the opposite pole to that which you desire to suppress. Kill out the undesirable by changing its polarity."
--The Kybalion.
去改变一个不良的心理振动速率，让极性法则运转，凝神在你要求抑制的相对极性上。靠着改变它的极性，消去不需要的。
——Kybalion
This is one of the most important of the Hermetic Formulas. It is based upon true scientific principles. We have shown you that a mental state and its opposite were merely the two poles of one thing, and that by Mental Transmutation the polarity might be reversed.
这是最重要的赫尔墨斯规则之一。它是建立在真实的科学法则之上的。我们已经向你展示了，一个心理状态以及和它相对的只是一个事物的两极，依靠心理的转化，极性能够被反转。
This Principle is known to modern psychologists, who apply it to the breaking up of undesirable habits by bidding their students concentrate upon the opposite quality.
这个法则，现代心理学家们已经知道了，他们利用这个法则来终止不良的习性，依靠指导他们的学生集中注意到相反的品质上面。
If you are possessed of Fear, do not waste time trying to "kill out" Fear, but instead cultivate the quality of Courage, and the Fear will disappear.
如果你是在恐惧中，不要浪费时间去尝试消去它。而是要，去培养勇敢的品质，恐惧就会消失。
Some writers have expressed this idea most forcibly by using the illustration of the dark room. You do not have to shovel out or sweep out the Darkness, but by merely opening the shutters and letting in the Light the Darkness has disappeared.
某些作家的作品靠着利用黑屋子的描写来强烈地表达这个观念。你不是去铲去，或者扫除黑暗。只是打开窗帘，让阳光进来，黑暗就消失了。
To kill out a Negative quality, concentrate upon the Positive Pole of that same quality, and the vibrations will gradually change from Negative to Positive, until finally you will become polarized on the Positive pole instead of the Negative.
去消除一个负面的品质，只要集中注意到同样品质的正面极性上，直到最终，你变得在正向极性上极化，而取代负向的。
The reverse is also true, as many have found out to their sorrow, when they have allowed themselves to vibrate too constantly on the Negative pole of things.
反过来也是真的，比如有些人允许他们在事物的负面极性上振动得太久，他们已经陷入到了他们的悲痛中。
By changing your polarity you may master your moods, change your mental states, remake your disposition, and build up character.
依靠改变你的极性，你能够控制你的心态，改变你的心理状态，重新安排你的控制，建立起人格品质。
Much of the Mental Mastery of the advanced Hermetics is due to this application of Polarity, which is one of the important aspects of Mental Transmutation.
优秀的赫尔墨斯者的许多心理掌控是由于这个极化的利用，这是精神转化的最重要的方面之一。
Remember the Hermetic Axiom (quoted previously), which says:
记住，这个赫尔墨斯格言是这样说的：
"Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted from state to state; degree to degree, condition to condition; pole to pole; vibration to vibration."
-The Kybalion.
思想（如同金属和元素）可以被转化：从一个状态到另一个状态；从一种程度到另一种程度；从一个条件到另一个条件；从一个极性到另一个极性；从一种振动到另一种振动。
——Kybalion
The mastery of Polarization is the mastery of the fundamental principles of Mental Transmutation or Mental Alchemy, for unless one acquires the art of changing his own polarity, he will be unable to affect his environment.
极化的掌控是精神转化或者精神炼金术的基本法则的掌控，因为除非一个人获得了他自己极性改变的技巧，否则他不能够去影响他的环境。
An understanding of this principle will enable one to change his own Polarity, as well as that of others, if he will but devote the time, care, study and practice necessary to master the art.
对于这个法则的理解，如果他希望，将赋予一个人改变它自己的极性，还有他人的极性，去奉献时间、关注、研习，以及实践，到控制技巧所需要的上面去。
The principle is true, but the results obtained depend upon the persistent patience and practice of the student.
这个法则是真的，但要获得结果，要靠学生的持久的忍耐和练习。
"Rhythm may be neutralized by an application of the Art of Polarization."
--The Kybalion.
节律能够依靠极性技巧的利用而被中和。
——Kybalion
As we have explained in previous chapters, the Hermetists hold that the Principle of Rhythm manifests on the Mental Plane as well as on the Physical Plane, and that the bewildering succession of moods, feelings, emotions, and other mental states, are due to the backward and forward swing of the mental pendulum, which carries us from one extreme of feeling to the other.
正如前面章节中所指出的，赫尔墨斯者们在精神层面的显化上把握着节律法则，如同在物理层面上一样，令人困惑的心态、感受、情绪，以及其它心理状态的兴替，是由于心理摆锤的前后摆动，把你从感受的一个极端带到另一个。
The Hermetists also teach that the Law of Neutralization enables one, to a great extent, to overcome the operation of Rhythm in consciousness.
赫尔墨斯者们也教导，中和法则能够使一个人，到达更大的范围，进而克服在意识上的节律的运作。
As we have explained, there is a Higher Plane of Consciousness, as well as the ordinary Lower Plane, and the Master by rising mentally to the Higher Plane causes the swing of the mental pendulum to manifest on the Lower Plane, and he, dwelling on his Higher Plane, escapes the consciousness of the swing backward.
正如我们已经解释的，在这里既有意识的较高层面，也有意识普通的较低层面，大师，依靠在精神上升到较高层面，导致精神摆锤的摆动显化在较低层面，而自己安居于较高层面，避开回摆的意识。
This is effected by polarizing on the Higher Self, and thus raising the mental vibrations of the Ego above those of the ordinary plane of consciousness.
这受到在更高的自我上极化的影响，因此提升自我的精神振动达到那些意识的普通层面之上。
It is akin to rising above a thing and allowing it to pass beneath you.
如同升到一个东西上面，让它从你下面通过一样。
The advanced Hermetist polarizes himself at the Positive Pole of his Being-the "I Am" pole rather than the pole of personality and by "refusing" and "denying" the operation of Rhythm, raises himself above its plane of consciousness, and standing firm in his Statement of Being he allows the pendulum to swing back on the Lower Plane without changing his Polarity.
优秀的赫尔墨斯者极化到自我到存在的正向极性上——全能者的极性，而不是靠着拒绝和否定节律的运作来极化到个人的极性。提升他自己到意识的层面之上，牢固地站立在他存在的状态里，他们允许摆锤在较低层面摆回，而不改变他的极性。
This is accomplished by all individuals who have attained any degree of self-mastery, whether they understand the law or not.
无论他们是否理解这个法则，达到的任何级别的自我掌控的所有人都能够完成这个过程。
Such persons simply "refuse" to allow themselves to be swung back by the pendulum of mood and emotion, and by steadfastly affirming the superiority they remain polarized on the Positive pole.
靠着坚定不移肯定他们在正向极性保持极化的优越性，这些人简单地拒绝容许他们自己被心态和情绪的摆锤带回。
The Master, of course, attains a far greater degree of proficiency, because he understands the law which he is overcoming by a higher law,
and by the use of his Will he attains a degree of Poise and Mental Steadfastness
almost impossible of belief on the part of those who allow themselves to be swung backward and forward by the mental pendulum of moods and feelings.
当然，大师达到了熟练的更高等级，因为他们理解这个法则，这样他通过更高法则的利用而达到超越，
并且靠着意志的利用，他达到了一个平衡的层面，以及思想的稳定，
这已经几乎不能够被那些允许自己，随着心态和感受的心理摆锤，前后摇摆带动的人们所相信。
Remember always, however, that you do not really destroy the Principle of Rhythm, for that is indestructible.
无论如何，总要记住，你不是真的摧毁节律法则，那是不能毁灭的。
You simply overcome one law by counter-balancing it with another and thus maintain an equilibrium.
你只是单纯地依靠另一个来平衡这个，而超越某个法则，这样保持住了平衡。
He also finds that the "I" is able to stand aside and witness the operations of the "Me's" mental creation and generation. There is this dual aspect in the mind of every person.
他也发现主体的我I能够站在一边观看客体的我Me运作精神创造和生产。这是在每个人思想里的两个方面。
The "I" represents the Masculine Principle of Mental Gender-the "Me" represents the Female Principle.
主体的我I代表着心理性别的雄性法则——客体的我Me代表着雌性法则。
The "I" represents the Aspect of Being; the "Me" the Aspect of Becoming.
主体的我代表存在的方面；客体的我代表成为的方面。
You will notice that the Principle of Correspondence operates on this plane just as it does upon the great plane upon which the creation of Universes is performed. The two are similar in kind, although vastly different in degree.
你会注意到一致法则运作在这个层面上，正如其在宇宙创造执行所在层面。这两者在类型上是相似的，尽管程度上有巨大的不同。
"As above, so below; as below, so above."
如在上的，亦在下；如在下的，亦如上。
These aspects of mind-the Masculine and Feminine Principles-the "I" and the "Me"-considered in connection with the well-known mental and psychic phenomena, give the master-key to these dimly known regions of mental operation and manifestation.
这些思想方面——雄性和雌性法则——主体的我和客体的我——被认为和所知的心理和心灵现象联系在一起，是对于这些精神运作和显化的未知领域，进行认识的关键钥匙。
The principle of Mental Gender gives the truth underlying the whole field of the phenomena of mental influence, etc.
精神性别法则，给出了精神影响的现象的整个领域，是基础真理。
The tendency of the Feminine Principle is always in the direction of receiving impressions, while the tendency of the Masculine Principle is always in the direction of giving, out or expressing.
雌性法则的趋向，总是在接受影响的方向上；而雄性法则的趋向，总是在给出或者显性的方向上。
The Feminine Principle has much more varied field of operation than has the Masculine Principle.
较之雄性法则，雌性法则有更多样的运作的场域。
The Feminine Principle conducts the work of generating new thoughts, concepts, ideas, including the work of the imagination.
雌性法则操控产生新心理、新概念和新观念，包括想象的工作。
The Masculine Principle contents itself with the work of the "Will" in its varied phases.
雄性法则在它的不同时期，用意愿的工作满足自己。
And yet, without the active aid of the Will of the Masculine Principle, the Feminine Principle is apt to rest content with generating mental images which are the result of impressions received from outside, instead of producing original mental creations.
而且，没有雄性法则的意愿活动的帮助，雌性法则满足于歇息在产生心理图像上，那是接受来自外在的图像的结果，代替产出原生的心理创造。
Persons who can give continued attention and thought to a subject actively employ both of the Mental Principles-the Feminine in the work of the mental generation, and the Masculine Will in stimulating and energizing the creative portion of the mind.
积极地利用两方面的心理法则，人能够持续给出注意和心理到一个主题上——雌性法则，在精神产出的工作上；雄性法则的意愿，在精神的创造部分的刺激和充能上。
The majority of persons really employ the Masculine Principle but little, and are content to live according to the thoughts and ideas instilled into the "Me" from the "I" of other minds.
大部分人很少真正利用雄性法则，满足于活在，那是由他人心理的主体的我，逐步在自己心理和观念里灌输成为的客体的我上。
But it is not our purpose to dwell upon this phase of the subject, which may be studied from any good text-book upon psychology, with the key that we have given you regarding Mental Gender.
只是停留在这个主题上，不是我们的目标，对这些，可以去研究现在优秀的心理学教科书，只是要带着我们已经给你的关于精神性别的钥匙。
The student of Psychic Phenomena is aware of the wonderful phenomena classified under the head of Telepathy; Thought Transference; Mental Influence; Suggestion; Hypnotism, etc.
心灵现象的学生把对奇异现象的觉察，划分到这样一些标题下：心灵感应，意念传送，精神影响，暗示，催眠，等等。
Many have sought for an explanation of these varied phases of phenomena under the theories of the various "dual mind" teachers. And in a measure they are right, for there is clearly a manifestation of two distinct phases of mental activity.
在不同的二元思想教师的理论之下，许多人已经在寻找对这些不同现象的解释。可以评估一下，在这点上他们是正确的，因为很明显，有精神活动的两个不同相位的显化。
But if such students will consider these "dual minds" in the light of the Hermetic Teachings regarding Vibrations and Mental Gender, they will see that the long sought for key is at hand.
但是，如果这些学生，是在赫尔墨斯关于振动和精神性别的教导的光亮中，考虑这些二元思想，他们会看到长久以来寻求的钥匙已经在手里了。
In the phenomena of Telepathy it is seen how the Vibratory Energy of the Masculine Principle is projected toward the Feminine Principle of another person, and the latter takes the seed-thought and allows it to develop into maturity.
在心灵感应现象上，看起来，雄性法则的振动能量是投射到他人的雌性法则上，后者获得种子思想，并且让它发展成熟。
In the same way Suggestion and Hypnotism operates.
暗示和催眠也是同样运作。
The Masculine Principle of the person giving the suggestions directs a stream of Vibratory Energy or Will-Power toward the Feminine Principle of the other person, and the latter accepting it makes it its own and acts and thinks accordingly.
一个人的雄性法则给出暗示，引导一束振动能量或者意志力量朝向他人的雌性法则，后者接受了它，并且把它当成自己的，落实到他的行动和思想上。
An idea thus lodged in the mind of another person grows and develops, and in time is regarded as the rightful mental offspring of the individual, whereas it is in reality like the cuckoo egg placed in the sparrows nest, where it destroys the rightful offspring and makes itself at home.
这样一个观念寄宿到他人的思想里，成长、发展，到时间，成为这个个体自己实际的精神后代，然而，在实际上就像是杜鹃鸟把蛋下到麻雀的窝里，这蛋摧毁了真正的后代，让自己占了窝。
The normal method is for the Masculine and Feminine Principles in a person's mind to co-ordinate and act harmoniously in conjunction with each other,
对于雄性法则和雌性法则的一般的方法是，在一个人的思想里，在彼此联合中，合作并且和谐行动，
but, unfortunately, the Masculine Principle in the average person is too lazy to act
-the display of Will-Power is too slight
-and the consequence is that such persons are ruled almost entirely by the minds and wills of other persons, whom they allow to do their thinking and willing for them.
但是，不幸的是，一般人的雄性法则太懒惰，以致无法行动
——意志力量的显示太微小
——结果就是，这样的人几乎完全被他人的思想和意识控制着，他们允许他们自己的思想和意志为他人行动。
How few original thoughts or original actions are performed by the average person?
一般人的初心或者原初行动，能执行几许？
Are not the majority of persons mere shadows and echoes of others having stronger wills or minds than themselves?
难道大多数人，不正是具有强大意志或思想的其他人的影子或者回声吗？
The trouble is that the average person dwells almost altogether in his "Me" consciousness and does not realize that he has such a thing as an "I."
麻烦的是，一般人几乎完全居住在他或者她的客体Me的我的意识里，并且无法认识到他或者她自己有个主体的我I。
He is polarized in his Feminine Principle of Mind, and the Masculine Principle, in which is lodged the Will, is allowed to remain inactive and not employed.
他被极化在他的心理的雌性法则里，并且雄性法则在这里是客居的意志，被要求保持在不活跃和不被利用的状态下。
The strong men and women of the world invariably manifest the Masculine Principle of Will, and their strength depends materially upon this fact.
这个世界里强大的男人和女人，总是显示着意志的雄性法则，他们的力量，在本质上是这个方面的利用。
Instead of living upon the impressions made upon their minds by others, they dominate their own minds by their Will, obtaining the kind of mental images desired, and moreover dominate the minds of others likewise, in the same manner.
而不是活在他人对自己思想的压迫下，他们用自己的意志支配他们自己的思想，得到期望的精神图像，而且同样支配他人的思想。
Look at the strong people, how they manage to implant their seed-thoughts in the minds of the masses of the people, thus causing the latter to think thoughts in accordance with the desires and wills of the strong individuals.
看一下强势的人，他们是如何达成播撒他们的种子-思想到大众的思想中去的，这样促成大众按照强势个体的意愿和意志去思考思想。
This is why the masses of people are such sheeplike creatures, never originating an idea of their own, nor using their own powers of mental activity.
这是为什么大众如绵羊一般，从来不去创造一个他们自己的观念，也不利用他们自己精神活动的力量。
The manifestation of Mental Gender may be noticed all around us in everyday life.
在每天的生活中，在我们周围的一切中，都能看到精神性别显化，
The magnetic persons are those who are able to use the Masculine Principle in the way of impressing their ideas upon others.
有吸引力的人，是那些能够利用雄性法则，去印刻他们的观念到其他人之上的。
The actor who makes people weep or cry as he wills, is employing this principle.
演员，当他愿意，可以让观众哭泣，利用的是这个法则。
第十四章 精神性别
Students of psychology who have followed the modern trend of thought along the lines of mental phenomena are struck by the persistence of the dual-mind idea which has manifested itself so strongly during the past ten or fifteen years, and which has given rise to a number of plausible theories regarding the nature and constitution of these "two minds."
心理学领域的学习者，沿着思想现象的线路，已经跟随现代的思考趋势，在二元-思想的观念上走了很远。这个观念在过去的十年或者十五年间有强势的显化，这个观念也给出若干，有关这些二元思想的本质和构造的值得称道的理论。
The late Thomson J. Hudson attained great popularity in 1893 by advancing his well-known theory of the "objective and subjective minds" which he held existed in every individual.
最近汤姆森-哈得逊，靠着他广为人知的客体和主体心理，在1893年引起公众注意，他认为这个现象存在在每个人身上。
Other writers have attracted almost equal attention by the theories regarding the "conscious and subconscious minds"; the "voluntary and involuntary minds"; "the active and passive minds," etc., etc.
另一些作家靠着这样一些理论，也同样吸引了注意：关于意识和潜意识心理；自主和非自主心理；主动和被动心理，等等，等等。
The theories of the various writers differ from each other, but there remains the underlying principle of "the duality of mind."
不同作家的理论彼此不同，但里面都有一个潜在的思想的二元性的法则。
The student of the Hermetic Philosophy is tempted to smile when he reads and hears of these many "new theories" regarding the duality of mind, each school adhering tenaciously to its own pet theories, and each claiming to have "discovered the truth."
赫尔墨斯哲学的学生，当读到或者听到这些关于心理的二元性的新理论时，会忍不住发笑，那些学派都在顽强地坚持自己喜爱的理论，各自声称已经发现了真理。
The student turns back the pages of occult history, and away back in the dim beginnings of occult teachings he finds references to the ancient Hermetic doctrine of the Principle of Gender on the Mental Plane-the manifestation of Mental Gender.
当学生转回到奥秘历史的书卷中，回到奥秘学教导朦胧的开始，他发现涉及古老的赫尔墨斯心理的，在精神层面上的性别法则——精神性别的显化。
And examining further he finds that the ancient philosophy took cognizance of the phenomenon of the "dual mind," and accounted for it by the theory of Mental Gender.
进一步查验，他发现古代哲学有对二元思想现象的认识，用精神性别的理论予以讲述。
This idea of Mental Gender may be explained in a few words to students who are familiar with the modern theories just alluded to.
对于熟悉现代理论的学生，只需要很少的文字就能对他们解释精神性别这个概念，虽然这些现代理论只是隐约地和这个概念有联系。
The Masculine Principle of Mind corresponds to the so-called Objective Mind; Conscious Mind; Voluntary Mind; Active Mind, etc.
思想的雄性法则，相当于现在被称为的，客体思想；意识思想；主动思想；积极思想，等等。
And the Feminine Principle of Mind corresponds to the so-called Subjective Mind; Sub-conscious Mind; Involuntary Mind; Passive Mind, etc.
思想的雌性法则，相当于现在被称为的，主体思想；潜意识思想；非自主思想；被动思想，等等。
Of course the Hermetic Teachings do not agree with the many modern theories regarding the nature of the two phases of mind, nor does it admit many of the facts claimed for the two respective aspects--some of the said theories and claims being very far-fetched and incapable of standing the test of experiment and demonstration.
当然，赫尔墨斯教导并不赞同许多现代有关心理的两相位态本质的理论，也不接受许多声称有两个各自外表的说法——这些理论和声称中的一些走得太远——是为了吸引眼球，并且也无法被试验和范例来检验。
We point to the phases of agreement merely for the purpose of helping the student to assimilate his previously acquired knowledge with the teachings of the Hermetic Philosophy. Students of Hudson will notice the statement at the beginning of his second chapter of "The Law of Psychic Phenomena," that: "The mystic jargon of the Hermetic philosophers discloses the same general idea" i.e., the duality of mind.
我们指出这些赞同的方面，目的只是为了帮助学生，便于消化他之前从赫尔墨斯哲学的教导中获得的知识。哈得逊的学生会注意到他在第二章心灵现象的法则开始的陈述，赫尔墨斯哲学的奥秘行话揭示了同样的基本概念。，这里说的是思想的二元性。
If Dr. Hudson had taken the time and trouble to decipher a little of "the mystic jargon of the Hermetic Philosophy," he might have received much light upon the subject of "the dual mind"
--but then, perhaps, his most interesting work might not have been written. Let us now consider the Hermetic Teachings regarding Mental Gender.
如果哈得逊博士花点时间费神去破解一点赫尔墨斯哲学的奥秘行话，他就会获得对于思想的二元性这个主题的更多的认识
——但是，可能，也许，他最有兴趣的作品就不会写出来了。让我们现在就来思考关于心理性别的赫尔墨斯教导。
The Hermetic Teachers impart their instruction regarding this subject by bidding their students examine the report of their consciousness regarding their Self. The students are bidden to turn their attention inward upon the Self dwelling within each.
赫尔墨斯导师们给出有关这个主题的他们的指导，是要求学生，去查验有关他们自己的意识里的报告。学生们被要求朝内转回他的注意，到每个人内里的自我上面去。
Each student is led to see that his consciousness gives him first a report of the existence of his Self-the report is "I Am."
This at first seems to be the final words from the consciousness, but a little further examination discloses the fact that this "I Am" may be separated or split into two distinct parts, or aspects, which while working in unison and in conjunction, yet, nevertheless, may be separated in consciousness.
每个学生被引导去看他的意识给他的自我存在的第一份报告——这个报告是"I Am"。
首先这似乎是来自意识的最后的词汇，但再进一步的查验揭露出的事实是，这个"I Am"可能被割裂或者分离成两个明显的部分或者方面，还有，两者协调并且联合工作，然而，在意识上两者是可以分离的。
While at first there seems to be only an "I" existing, a more careful and closer examination reveals the fact that there exists an "I" and a "Me." These mental twins differ in their characteristics and nature, and an examination of their nature and the phenomena arising from the same will throw much light upon many of the problems of mental influence.
开始似乎只有一个I存在，更细致和更深入的查验揭示出的事实是，存在一个主体的I（显意识）和一个客体的Me（潜意识）。这个精神双胞胎在它们的特征和本性上是不同的，并且，一个对这个双胞胎本性的查验，以及从这个同样的东西中升出的现象，将会照亮在心理影响下的许多问题。
Let us begin with a consideration of the Me, which is usually mistaken for the I by the student, until he presses the inquiry a little further back into the recesses of consciousness.
让我们从考虑客体的Me开始，这通常被学生错认为主体的I，直到他的探查，进一步推进回入到意识的停息处。
A man thinks of his Self (in its aspect of Me) as being composed of certain feelings, tastes likes, dislikes, habits, peculiar ties, characteristics, etc.,
一个人思考他的自我（在客体Me的方面），是作为某种感觉的调解人，味觉的喜好，不喜欢，习俗，癖好，特点，等等，
all of which go to make up his personality, or the "Self" known to himself and others. He knows that these emotions and feelings change; are born and die away; are subject to the Principle of Rhythm, and the Principle of Polarity, which take him from one extreme of feeling to another.
所有这些造就了他的人格，或者他自己和别人认为的他的自我。他知道这些情绪和感觉的变化，出现和离去，是服从节律法则和极性法则的，这把他从感受的一个极端带到另一个。
He also thinks of the "Me" as being certain knowledge gathered together in his mind, and thus forming a part of himself. This is the "Me" of a man.
他也思考客体的Me，把它作为是在他的心理里的知识的堆积，并且因此构成他自己的一个部分。这是人的客体的Me。
But we have proceeded too hastily. The "Me" of many men may be said to consist largely of their consciousness of the body and their physical appetites, etc.
但是我们已经走得太快了。许多人的这个客体的Me，可以说大部分是由他们的身体意识和他们的生理喜好，等等，组成的。
Their consciousness being largely bound up with their bodily nature, they practically "live there." Some men even go so far as to regard their personal apparel as a part of their "Me" and actually seem to consider it a part of themselves.
他们的意识过于捆缚于他们的身体本性上，他们只是活着。有些人走得过于遥远，认为他们的服饰就是他们客体的Me的一部分，并且竟然认为就是他们的一部分。
A writer has humorously said that "men consist of three parts--soul, body and clothes."
一位作家这样幽默地说，人是由三部分组成——灵魂，身体，和衣服。
These "clothes conscious" people would lose their personality if divested of their clothing by savages upon the occasion of a shipwreck.
这种衣服意识的人，如果在海上遇险时，不得不剥去他们的衣服，那就是要失去他们自我的人格了。
But even many who are not so closely bound up with the idea of personal raiment stick closely to the consciousness of their bodies being their "Me" They cannot conceive of a Self independent of the body.
就是那些不是过于绑缚在个人物品观念上的，只是粘附在他们的身体意识上的，也是他们客体的Me。他们无法想象不依赖于身体的自我。
Their mind seems to them to be practically "a something belonging to" their body-which in many cases it is indeed.
对于他们，他们的心理似乎就是某些属于他们身体的东西——在许多案例里正是这样。
But as man rises in the scale of consciousness he is able to disentangle his "Me" from his idea of body, and is able to think of his body as "belonging to" the mental part of him.
但是，当人沿着意识的标度上升，他们能够从他的身体观念中解脱开他的客体的Me，能够去思考他的身体是从属于他的精神部分。
But even then he is very apt to identify the "Me" entirely with the mental states, feelings, etc., which he feels to exist within him.
仅仅是在那之后，他是非常倾向去辨识客体的Me，里面的心理状态、感受，等等，那些是他感觉存在在他里面的。
He is very apt to consider these internal states as identical with himself, instead of their being simply "things" produced by some part of his mentality, and existing within him--of him, and in him, but still not "himself."
他会是非常倾向于去考虑，作为和他自己的认同，这些内在的状态，而不是由他的某些心理部分产生的简单的东西，以及存在在他里面的——他的，和在他里面的，但仍然不是他自己。
He sees that he may change these internal states of feelings by all effort of will, and that he may produce a feeling or state of an exactly opposite nature, in the same way, and yet the same "Me" exists.
他明白依靠意志的全然努力能够改变这些内在的感受状态，并且依靠同样的方法，它能够造就一个完全相对习性的感受或者状态，并且还是同样客体的Me的存在。
And so after a while he is able to set aside these various mental states, emotions, feelings, habits, qualities, characteristics, and other personal mental belongings
这样，一个时期以后，他能够搁置这些各种各样的心理状态，情绪，感受，爱好，品性，特征，和其它个人精神资产。
--he is able to set them aside in the "not-me" collection of curiosities and encumbrances, as well as valuable possessions.
This requires much mental concentration and power of mental analysis on the part of the student.
But still the task is possible for the advanced student, and even those not so far advanced are able to see, in the imagination, how the process may be performed.
——他能够搁置那些非-Me的好奇和累赘物的收集，珍宝也是一样。
这要求学生相当的精神集中和精神分析的力量。但就是对于优秀的学生，只是一个任务。对不够优秀的学生，也能想象这个过程是如何执行的。
After this laying-aside process has been performed, the student will find himself in conscious possession of a "Self" which may be considered in its "I" and "Me" dual aspects.
在执行这个站队过程后，学生们会发现他自己是在一个自我的意识过程中，这个自我可以被从主体的Ｉ和客体的Me两方面来认识。
The "Me" will be felt to be a Something mental in which thoughts, ideas, emotions, feelings, and other mental states may be produced.
客体的我会被感受为某些精神，其中有思想、观念、情感、感受和其它的精神状态，能够产生。
It may be considered as the "mental womb," as the ancients styled it-capable of generating mental offspring.
可以被看作能够产生精神后代的古老时尚的精神子宫。
It reports to the consciousness as a "Me" with latent powers of creation and generation of mental progeny of all sorts and kinds. Its powers of creative energy are felt to be enormous.
它是作为客体的Me向意识报告，带着创造和产生所有种类心理后代的潜能。它的创造能量的力量是如此巨大。
But still it seems to be conscious that it must receive some form of energy from either its "I" companion, or else from some other "I" ere it is able to bring into being its mental creations.
但是，他仍然似乎被意识到，它必须接收某种能量形式，或是从他的主体I的合作中，或是来自其他的主体I，它能够携带进入它的精神创造的存在。
This consciousness brings with it a realization of an enormous capacity for mental work and creative ability.
这个意识携带着一个对于精神工作和创造能力的可能的巨大能力的实现。
But the student soon finds that this is not all that he finds within his inner consciousness. He finds that there exists a mental Something which is able to Will that the "Me" act along certain creative lines, and which is also able to stand aside and witness the mental creation.
但是，学生马上发现这不是他在他的内在意识里发现的全部。
他发现存在着一个精神东西，能够指使客体的me，沿着某条创造路线行动，并且也能够站在一边观看精神创造。
This part of himself he is taught to call his "I." He is able to rest in its consciousness at will.
他自己的这个部分，被告知称为主体的I。他能够随意歇息在它的意识里。
He finds there not a consciousness of an ability to generate and actively create, in the sense of the gradual process attendant upon mental operations, but rather a sense and consciousness of an ability to project an energy from the "I" to the "Me"--a process of "willing" that the mental creation begin and proceed.
他发现，这不是一个有能力去创造和行动的意识，这是在逐步出现在心理运作的视角上看，但仍然有一个视角和能力的意识，从主体的我I（显意识）向客体的我Me（潜意识）投射能量——一个意志的过程，使精神创造开始，并且维持。
CHAPTER XIII GENDER
第十三章 性别
"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
The great Seventh Hermetic Principle--the Principle of Gender--embodies the truth that there is Gender manifested in everything--that the Masculine and Feminine principles are ever present and active in all phases of phenomena, on each and every plane of life.
伟大的赫尔墨斯第七法则——性别法则
——揭示的真理是，在任何之中都有性别的显化。雄性和雌性法则，是永远出现在和活动在，所有的现象阶段里，在生命的每一个层面上。
At this point we think it well to call your attention to the fact that Gender, in its Hermetic sense, and Sex in the ordinarily accepted use of the term, are not the same.
在这里，我们不是想要把你的注意吸引到性别这个事情上，在赫尔墨斯哲学的视角里，和被普遍使用的性这个词汇，是不一样的。
The word "Gender" is derived from the Latin root meaning "to beget; to procreate; to generate; to create; to produce."
性别这个词来自拉丁语词根，意思是招引、生殖、产生、创造、结出果实。
A moment's consideration will show you that the word has a much broader and more general meaning than the term "Sex," the latter referring to the physical distinctions between male and female living things.
思考一下会显示出这个词具有比性这个词更广泛和更普遍的意义。性所涉及的是男人和女人，活的机体的生理特征。
Sex is merely a manifestation of Gender on a certain plane of the Great Physical Plane--the plane of organic life.
性也是大物理层面的某个具体层面上的性别显化——机体组织生命体的层面。
We wish to impress this distinction upon your minds, for the reason that certain writers, who have acquired a smattering of the Hermetic Philosophy, have sought to identify this Seventh Hermetic Principle with wild and fanciful, and often reprehensible, theories and teachings regarding Sex.
我们希望把这个差别刻印到你们的心理上，因为有些作者，学了点肤浅的赫尔墨斯哲学，已经开始用狂热和想象去寻求给七个赫尔墨斯法则贴标签，总是认为是有关性的理论和教导，这样的说法是应该受到责备的。
The office of Gender is solely that of creating, producing, generating, etc., and its manifestations are visible on every plane of phenomena.
性别的职责只是创造、生产、繁殖等等，并且它的显化，在每个现象层面都是可见的。
It is somewhat difficult to produce proofs of this along scientific lines, for the reason that science has not as yet recognized this Principle as of universal application.
沿着科学的路线，还难于产生这方面的证据，原因是科学还不能认识到这个法则是寰宇普适的。
But still some proofs are forthcoming from scientific sources. In the first place, we find a distinct manifestation of the Principle of Gender among the corpuscles, ions, or electrons, which constitute the basis of Matter as science now knows the latter, and which by forming certain combinations form the Atom, which until lately was regarded as final and indivisible.
但是，从科学的来源，也还是有些证据姗姗到来。在首要的位置，我们发现在粒子、离子、电子，之中的性别法则的明显显化，粒子、离子、电子是组成物质的基础，正如科学晚近所知道的，它们的结合构成原子，不久前还认为原子是最终极的和不可分的。（*再一次注意，这是1908年。）
The latest word of science is that the atom is composed of a multitude of corpuscles, electrons, or ions (the various names being applied by different authorities) revolving around each other and vibrating at a high degree and intensity.
科学上到目前的讲法是，原子是由若干的粒子，电子，或者离子（不同的权威所用的名称不同）彼此围绕旋转，并且在一个很高等级和强度上振动。
But the accompanying statement is made that the formation of the atom is really due to the clustering of negative corpuscles around a positive one---the positive corpuscles seeming to exert a certain influence upon the negative corpuscles, causing the latter to assume certain combinations and thus "create" or "generate" an atom.
但是伴随的陈述是这样的，原子的构成是负类粒子围绕正类的——正粒子看起来尽力影响负粒子，因此负粒子与之结合，这样创造或者产生原子。
This is in line with the most ancient Hermetic Teachings, which have always identified the Masculine principle of Gender with the "Positive," and the Feminine with the "Negative" Poles of Electricity (so called).
这是和最古老的赫尔墨斯教导站在一条线上的，赫尔墨斯教导总是把性别法则的雄性法则定为正极，雌性法则定为电子的负极（只是如此称谓）。
Now a word at this point regarding this identification.
在这里有一个词需要说明一下。
The public mind has formed an entirely erroneous impression regarding the qualities of the so-called "Negative" pole of electrified or magnetized Matter.
对于电性物质和磁性物质的，被称为负极的品质，在大众的思想上已经形成了完全错误的印象。
The terms Positive and Negative are very wrongly applied to this phenomenon by science. The word Positive means something real and strong, as compared with a Negative unreality or weakness. Nothing is further from the real facts of electrical phenomenon.
正和负这个词对于这个现象，在科学上是被非常错误地使用的。正一词当和负相比时，被用在真实和强大的意义上，而负被用在不真实和弱小上。
没有什么比电性现象的真正事实更能说明这个问题的了。
The so-called Negative pole of the battery is really the pole in and by which the generation or production of new forms and energies is manifested. There is nothing "negative" about it.
被称为的电池的负极只是一个极，从这里有新的形式出现，有能量表达。关于这个没有什么是负的。
The best scientific authorities now use the word "Cathode" in place of "Negative," the word Cathode coming from the Greek root meaning "descent; the path of generation, etc,"
现在最高的科学权威，使用雌性极（cathode）这个词来替换负（negative），雌性极一词来自希腊语词根，意思是家系；世代的轨迹，等等。
From the Cathode pole emerge the swarm of electrons or corpuscles; from the same pole emerge those wonderful "rays" which have revolutionized scientific conceptions during the past decade.
来自雌性极极性现出电子或者微粒涌动；从同样的极性，现出那些奇妙的射线（rays），它们在过去的十年里革新了科学的观念。
The Cathode pole is the Mother of all of the strange phenomena which have rendered useless the old textbooks, and which have caused many long accepted theories to be relegated to the scrap-pile of scientific speculation.
雌性极是奇异现象之母，这些想象在旧的教科书中被无益地提供出来，这些已经导致一些长期被接受的理论的废弃，置放到科学思考的废品堆中。
The Cathode, or Negative Pole, is the Mother Principle of Electrical Phenomena, and of the finest forms of matter as yet known to science.
雌性极，或者负极，是科学上所知的物质的最优美形式，这个电性现象的母性法则。
So you see we are justified in refusing to use the term "Negative" in our consideration of the subject, and in insisting upon substituting the word "Feminine" for the old term.
所以你看，我们在我们考虑的主题上拒绝使用负这个词应该是合适的，并且强调用雌性替换旧的词汇。
The facts of the case bear us out in this, without taking the Hermetic Teachings into consideration.
在这里的思考上，并不涉及赫尔墨斯教导，这个事物本身的事实，在这里就已经给了我们证明。
And so we shall use the word "Feminine" in the place of "Negative" in speaking of that pole of activity.
这样，后面在说到活动的极性的时候，我们会用雌性这个词在原本负的这个地方。
The latest scientific teachings are that the creative corpuscles or electrons are Feminine
(science says "they are composed of negative electricity"-we say they are composed of Feminine energy).
最近的科学教导说，创造性微粒或者电子是雌性的
（科学说它们由负电子组成。——我们说它们由雌性能量组成。）
A Feminine corpuscle becomes detached from, or rather leaves, a Masculine corpuscle, and starts on a new career.
一个雌性微粒变得分离，或者说是离开一个雄性粒子，开始一个新的组合。
It actively seeks a union with a Masculine corpuscle, being urged thereto by the natural impulse to create new forms of Matter or Energy.
它积极地寻求与一个雄性粒子的结合，强烈地出于本能驱动去创造一个新形式的物质或者能量。
One writer goes so far as to use the term "it at once seeks, of its own volition, a union," etc.
有一个作家甚至于这样说：它立刻以自己的意志去寻求结合。
This detachment and uniting form the basis of the greater part of the activities of the chemical world.
这个分离和结合，构成了很大部分化学世界活动的基础。
When the Feminine corpuscle unites with a Masculine corpuscle, a certain process is begun.
当雌性粒子和一个雄性粒子结合，开始了一个确定的过程。
The Feminine particles vibrate rapidly under the influence of the Masculine energy, and circle rapidly around the latter. The result is the birth of a new atom.
在雄性能量的影响下，雌性粒子快速地振动，并且快速地围绕雄性个体旋转。结果就是一个新的原子的诞生。
This new atom is really composed of a union of the Masculine and Feminine electrons, or corpuscles, but when the union is formed the atom is a separate thing, having certain properties, but no longer manifesting the property of free electricity. The process of detachment or separation of the Feminine electrons is called "ionization."
这个新的原子，是由雄性和雌性的电子或者微粒，结合而成。但在构成的原子里却是独立的，有自己的特性，但不再显化自由电子的特性。雌性电子的分离或者分开的过程，称为离子化。
These electrons, or corpuscles, are the most active workers in Nature's field.
这些电子或者微粒，是自然场中最活跃的工作者。
Arising from their unions, or combinations, manifest the varied phenomena of light, heat, electricity, magnetism, attraction, repulsion, chemical affinity and the reverse, and similar phenomena.
从它们的结合体，或者合成物，显化着光、热、电、磁、吸引、排斥、化学亲和力，以及相反的，还有类似的现象。
And all this arises from the operation of the Principle of Gender on the plane of Energy.
并且所有这些活动，起源于，在能量层面上的性别法则的运作。
The part of the Masculine principle seems to be that of directing a certain inherent energy toward the Feminine principle, and thus starting into activity the creative processes.
雄性法则的部分，好像是在某种内在能量的引导下朝向雌性法则，这样开始进入创造性过程的行动。
But the Feminine principle is the one always doing the active creative work-and this is so on all planes. And yet, each principle is incapable of operative energy without the assistance of the other.
但是，雌性法则总是这个创造性工作的进行活动的一方——这是在所有的层面上。还有，每一个法则，如果没有另一个的帮助，是不可能进行能量运转的。
In some of the forms of life, the two principles are combined in one organism.
在一些生命形式中，两个法则组合在一个生物体里。
For that matter, everything in the organic world manifests both genders--there is always the Masculine present in the Feminine form, and the Feminine form.
就这个问题而言，在有机世界里的每一个都显示着两种性别——总有雄性显化在雌性构成里，雌性显化在雄性结构里。
The Hermetic Teachings include much regarding the operation of the two principles of Gender in the production and manifestation of various forms of energy, etc.,
赫尔墨斯教导包含了很多关于不同形式的能量的生产和显化中性别的两个法则的运作的内容。
but we do not deem it expedient to go into detail regarding the same at this point, because we are unable to back up the same with scientific proof, for the reason that science has not as yet progressed thus far.
但是我们不认为在这里去讨论那些细节是有益的，因为我们不能给出这些的在科学上的证据，这个原因是，科学还没有发展到那么深远。
But the example we have given you of the phenomena of the electrons or corpuscles will show you that science is on the right path, and will also give you a general idea of the underlying principles.
但是，我们给你的这个电子或者粒子现象的例子，能够告诉你，科学是走在正确的道路上，并且也会给你潜在法则的一般的观念。
Some leading scientific investigators have announced their belief that in the formation of crystals there was to be found something that corresponded to "sex-activity" which is another straw showing the direction the scientific winds are blowing.
某些领先的科学研究者已经宣告，他们相信在水晶的构成里已经发现了某些是和性-活动有关的，这是让我们感受到科学的风向的另一根麦秆。
And each year will bring other facts to corroborate the correctness of the Hermetic Principle of Gender.
每一年，都有一些材料出现，来确证赫尔墨斯性别法则的正确性。
Just as a man has two parents, and four grandparents, and eight great-grandparents, and sixteen great-great-grandparents, and so on until when, say, forty generations are calculated the numbers of ancestors run into many millions--so it is with the number of causes behind even the most trifling event or phenomena, such as the passage of a tiny speck of soot before your eye.
如同一个人有双亲，四个祖父辈，八个曾祖父辈，十六个曾曾祖父辈的亲人，如此，上推到四十代前，那是几百万的祖辈——同样，即使最微小的事物和现象背后的原因数目也是如此，哪怕是你眼前面的一粒灰尘。
It is not an easy matter to trace the bit of soot hack to the early period of the world's history when it formed a part of a massive tree-trunk, which was afterward converted into coal, and so on, until as the speck of soot it now passes before your vision on its way to other adventures.
要追踪这个小灰粒到星球历史的较早期阶段绝非容易的事，那时候它是大树的一部分，从树桩转化为煤，如此等等，直到它成为一粒煤灰来到你的眼前，继续它的下面的经历。
And a mighty chain of events, causes and effects, brought it to its present condition, and the later is but one of the chain of events which will go to produce other events hundreds of years from now. One of the series of events arising from the tiny bit of soot was the writing of these lines, which caused the typesetter to perform certain work; the proofreader to do likewise;
一个事物如此巨大的链，原因们和结果们，把这个灰尘带到现在的状态，此后它依然是在事情的链条中，进入此后数百年的其它事物中。从这个些微的灰尘，升起的一个事物系列中的，一个就是写出的这几行文字。排版工人进行了工作，校对员也做了贡献。
and which will arouse certain thoughts in your mind, and that of others, which in turn will affect others, and so on, and on, and on, beyond the ability of man to think further-and all from the passage of a tiny bit of soot, all of which shows the relativity and association of things, and the further fact that "there is no great; there is no small, in the mind that causeth all."
这些文字会在你的心理中产生某些想法，这些想法可能又会影响其他人，如此下去，下去，再下去，远到超越人的想象能力——所有这都来自一粒灰尘，所有这些都显化着事情的关系和联系，进一步的事实是，在导致一切的思想中，没有什么伟大，没有什么渺小。
Stop to think a moment.
If a certain man had not met a certain maid, away back in the dim period of the Stone Age--you who are now reading these lines would not now be here. And if, perhaps, the same couple had failed to meet, we who now write these lines would not now be here.
让我们停下来想一下。
如果远在石器时代的晦暗的日子里，一个人如果没有遇到某个女人——你这位现在正在读这些文字的就不会在这里。如果，这样的一对没有相遇，我们写这些文字的现在不会在这里。
And the very act of writing, on our part, and the act of reading, on yours, will affect not only the respective lives of yourself and ourselves, but will also have a direct, or indirect, affect upon many other people now living and who will live in the ages to come.
我们的写作行动，你的阅读行动，不仅会影响到你的和我们的特别的生命，也会直接或者间接地影响许多其他的人，现在的和以后世代会来到的。
Every thought we think, every act we perform, has its direct and indirect results which fit into the great chain of Cause and Effect.
我们思考的每一个心理，我们显化的每一个行动，都有它直接和间接的效果，汇合到巨大的因果链条之中。
We do not wish to enter into a consideration of Free Will, or Determinism, in this work, for various reasons.
出于多种原因，在这个工作中，我们不希望涉入到自由意志和决定论中去。
Among the many reasons, is the principal one that neither side of the controversy is entirely right-in fact, both sides are partially right, according to the Hermetic Teachings. The Principle of Polarity shows that both are but Half-Truths the opposing poles of Truth.
在这些原因中，最主要的是对立的双方没有一个是绝对正确的——事实上，按照赫尔墨斯教导，两方面都有部分的正确。极性法则显示了，两个方面都只是部分的真理，真理的相对的两个极性。
The Teachings are that a man may be both Free and yet bound by Necessity, depending upon the meaning of the terms, and the height of Truth from which the matter is examined.
教导是说，人既需要自由又要束缚，靠着对事物的检验，得到内里的认识，并且从这里达到之上的真理层面。
The ancient writers express the matter thus: "The further the creation is from the Centre, the more it is bound; the nearer the Centre it reaches, the nearer Free is it."
古老的作者这样来表达这个意思，创造物离中心越远，束缚就越多。离中心越近，离自由就越近。
The majority of people are more or less the slaves of heredity, environment, etc., and manifest very little Freedom.
大部分的人或多或少是遗传、环境，等等，的奴隶，只显化出很少的自由。
They are swayed by the opinions, customs and thoughts of the outside world, and also by their emotions, feelings, moods, etc.
他们随着外部世界的议论、习俗和心理摆动着，还有他们自己的情绪、感受、心态，等等。
They manifest no Mastery, worthy of the name.
他们很少显化出大师的样式，那和这个名字相配的行动。
They indignantly repudiate this assertion, saying, "Why, I certainly am free to act and do as I please--I do just what I want to do,"
他们激愤地做这样的断言，难道我不是按自己的喜好自由地在行动吗？我做的正是我想要做的。
but they fail to explain whence arise the "want to" and "as I please." What makes them "want to" do one thing in preference to another; what makes them "please" to do this, and not do that? Is there no "because" to their "pleasing" and "Wanting"?
他们却无法说明想要做的和自己喜好的来自何处。是什么让他们想要做这个，而不是别的？是什么让他们喜好做这个，而不是那个？难道对于他们的喜好和想要就没有原因了吗？
The Master can change these "pleases" and "wants" into others at the opposite end of the mental pole. He is able to "Will to will," instead of to will because some feeling, mood, emotion, or environmental suggestion arouses a tendency or desire within him so to do.
大师可以改变这些喜好和想要，去到心理极性的相对一端。他能够有意志地去做，而不是被在内里升起的一些感受、心态、情绪的驱动或者欲求，还有周围的暗示，而去做。
The majority of people are carried along like the falling stone, obedient to environment, outside influences and internal moods, desires, etc., not to speak of the desires and wills of others stronger than themselves, heredity, environment, and suggestion, carrying them along without resistance on their part, or the exercise of the Will.
大多数人，有如落下的石头，服从着环境，外在的影响和内在的心态、欲望，等等，更不要说那些强过他们自己的人的欲望和意志、环境、暗示，把他们推动着，他们无法抵抗，或者有自身意志的练习。
Moved like the pawns on the checkerboard of life, they play their parts and are laid aside after the game is over.
生命如同象棋棋盘上的兵卒一般被挪动，他们扮演着他们的角色，当棋局结束就被搁置一旁。
But the Masters, knowing the rules of the game, rise above the plane of material life, and placing themselves in touch with the higher powers of their nature, dominate their own moods, characters, qualities, and polarity, as well as the environment surrounding them and thus become Movers in the game, instead of Pawns-Causes instead of Effects.
但是大师们，知道游戏的规则，上升到物质生命的层面之上，让自己接触他们本性中更高的能量，支配他们自己的心态、特质、品性，和极性，对围绕他们的环境也是如此，这样，他们成为游戏中的博弈者，而非棋盘上的兵卒——用原因取代结果。
The Masters do not escape the Causation of the higher planes, but fall in with the higher laws, and thus master circumstances on the lower plane.
大师们不能逃避更高层面的原因，而是变得与更高的法则相和谐，这样控制了在较低层面上的环境。
They thus form a conscious part of the Law, instead of being mere blind instruments. While they Serve on the Higher Planes, they Rule on the Material Plane.
他们这样构成了法则的意识部分，而不是它的盲目的工具。当他们服务于更高层面，他们就控制了物质层面。
But, on higher and on lower, the Law is always in operation. There is no such thing as Chance. The blind goddess has been abolished by Reason.
但是，在较高的层面和在较低的层面上，法则总是运作着。没有偶然这种事情。盲目的女神已经被理性废除了。
We are able to see now, with eyes made clear by knowledge, that everything is governed by Universal Law-that the infinite number of laws are but manifestations of the One Great Law-the LAW which is THE ALL.
我们现在能够看到，知识使我们的眼睛明亮起来，万物都是由宇宙法则管理的——无限的法则只是显化着的一的伟大法则——这个法则就是全能者。
It is true indeed that not a sparrow drops unnoticed by the Mind of THE AL--that even the hairs on our head are numbered
这是真的，在全能者的思想里没有一只麻雀的掉落会不被注意到——就是你头上的头发也是被数算过的——正如《圣经》经文所说的。
--as the scriptures have said There is nothing outside of Law; nothing that happens contrary to it. And yet, do not make the mistake of supposing that Man is but a blind automaton-far from that.
没有什么是在法则之外的，没有什么是违反法则发生的。也不要错误地假设，人只是一个盲目的自动机器——远不是这样。
The Hermetic Teachings are that Man may use Law to overcome laws, and that the higher will always prevail against the lower, until at last he has reached the stage in which he seeks refuge in the LAW itself, and laughs the phenomenal laws to scorn. Are you able to grasp the inner meaning of this?
赫尔墨斯教导这样说，人能够利用法则去克服法则，较高的总是胜过较低的，直到最后他抵达这个站点，在那里他寻找在这个法则自身里的庇护，并且讥笑现象法则们的不屑。你能不能抓住在这里面的内在意义呢？
And so it has ever been with the majority of persons
--tides of feeling have ever risen and fallen with them, but they have never suspected the cause or reason of the mental phenomena.
大部分人永远都是这样
——感受的潮汐在他们里面起起落落，但他们从来没有考虑这个精神现象的来源或者原因。
An understanding of the workings of this Principle will give one the key to the Mastery of these rhythmic swings of feeling, and will enable him to know himself better and to avoid being carried away by these inflows and outflows.
对于这个法则运作的理解，会给予他掌控这些节律摆动感受的钥匙，给予他更好地了解自己，避免被这些流入流出的摆动所带动。
The Will is superior to the conscious manifestation of this Principle, although the Principle itself can never be destroyed.
We may escape its effects, but the Principle operates, nevertheless. The pendulum ever swings, although we may escape being carried along with it.
意志胜过法则的有意识显化，尽管这个法则自身从来不会被消除。
我们可以避开它的影响，但这个法则依然总是在运作着。虽然我们能够不随摆锤舞动，但它永远在摆动着。
There are other features of the operation of this Principle of Rhythm of which we wish to speak at this point. There comes into its operations that which is known as the Law of Compensation.
这个节律法则的运作还有其它特征，在这里，我们也需要说一下。这里有被知晓的补偿法则的运作。补偿一词的定义或者意思里，
One of the definitions or meanings of the word "Compensate" is, "to counterbalance" which is the sense in which the Hermetists use the term.
有一方面是弥补，这就是赫尔墨斯者们使用这个词汇的角度。
It is this Law of Compensation to which the Kybalion refers when it says: "The measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates."
这个补偿法则，Kybalion提到时说，向右摆动的计量，就是向左摆动的计量；节律的补偿。
The Law of Compensation is that the swing in one direction determines the swing in the opposite direction, or to the opposite pole-the one balances, or counterbalances, the other.
补偿法则是这样的，在一个方向上的摆动，决定了在相反方向上的摆动，或者说是到相对的极性的摆动——一个平衡，或者弥补另一个。
On the Physical Plane we see many examples of this Law.
在物理层面上，我们可以看到这个法则的许多例子。
The pendulum of the clock swings a certain distance to the right, and then an equal distance to the left. The seasons balance each other in the same way.
钟摆向右摆动到某个距离，那么向左也会达到相同的距离。同样，季节们也彼此补偿。
The tides follow the same Law. And the same Law is manifested in all the phenomena of Rhythm. T
潮汐遵循同样的法则。这同一个法则显化在所有节律现象里。
he pendulum, with a short swing in one direction, has but a short swing in the other; while the long swing to the right invariably means the long swing to the left.
钟摆在一个方向上有一个短距离的摆动，在另一个方向上也会有个短距离的摆动；在右边有个长距离的摆动，不可避免地在左边也有个长距离的摆动。
An object hurled upward to a certain height has an equal distance to traverse on its return.
一个物体被向上抛出多高，就会落回多少。
The force with which a projectile is sent upward a mile is reproduced when the projectile returns to the earth on its return journey.
This Law is constant on the Physical Plane, as reference to the standard authorities will show you.
推动物体向前一英里需要的力量，让它返回也需要这么多。这个法则在物理层面是恒定的，正如把持标准的权威们告诉你的一样。
But the Hermetists carry it still further. They teach that a man's mental states are subject to the same Law. The man who enjoys keenly, is subject to keen suffering; while he who feels but little pain is capable of feeling but little joy. The pig suffers but little mentally, and enjoys but little--he is compensated.
但是，赫尔墨斯者们把这带到更远。他们教导说，人的精神状态服从同样的法则。一个人容易感受快乐，也就容易感受痛苦；那些不易感受疼痛的，也就不容易得到喜乐。猪没有什么心理上的痛苦，也就没什么快乐——它得到了补偿。
And on the other hand, there are other animals who enjoy keenly, but whose nervous organism and temperament cause them to suffer exquisite degrees of pain and so it is with Man.
另一方面，有些动物容易快乐，但它们的神经系统和气质使得它们容易感受痛苦，对于人也是一样。
There are temperaments which permit of but low degrees of enjoyment, and equally low degrees of suffering; while there are others which permit the most intense enjoyment, but also the most intense suffering.
有些素质限定了难以快乐，也就相等程度地难以痛苦；另一些人限定了强烈的喜乐，也必然是强烈的痛苦。
The rule is that the capacity for pain and pleasure, in each individual, are balanced. The Law of Compensation is in full operation here.
这个法则是，痛苦和喜乐的能力，在每一个人身上，是平衡的。补偿法则在这里充分运作着。
But the Hermetists go still further in this matter. They teach that before one is able to enjoy a certain degree of pleasure, he must have swung as far, proportionately, toward the other pole of feeling.
但是，赫尔墨斯者们在这个问题上仍然是走得更远。他们教导说，在某个人能够感受一定程度的快乐之前，他一定是已经朝感受的另一个极性做了相等程度的摆动。
They hold, however, that the Negative is precedent to the Positive in this matter, that is to say that in experiencing a certain degree of pleasure it does not follow that he will have to "pay up for it" with a corresponding degree of pain;
无论如何，他们在这个问题上把握住了，负向的是正向的前导，也就是说，经验了某种程度的快乐，他并不一定要有一个痛苦的程度进行补偿来全部偿还；
on the contrary, the pleasure is the Rhythmic swing, according to the Law of Compensation, for a degree of pain previously experienced either in the present life, or in a previous incarnation. This throws a new light on the Problem of Pain.
相反的，快乐是节律的摆动，按照补偿法则，之前有一个痛苦的程度被经历到，或者是在此生的生活上，或是在前世的投生中。这在痛苦的问题上照射了一缕新的亮光。
The Hermetists regard the chain of lives as continuous, and as forming a part of one life of the individual, so that in consequence the rhythmic swing is understood in this way, while it would be without meaning unless the truth of reincarnation is admitted.
赫尔墨斯者们认为生命链是连续的，并且是构成个体的完整生命的一个部分，这样把这推导到节律摆动的理解上，除非转世的事实得到承认，否则就无法有什么意义了。
But the Hermetists claim that the Master or advanced student is able, to a great degree, to escape the swing toward Pain, by the process of Neutralization before mentioned.
但是赫尔墨斯者们声明，大师或者优秀的学生能够达到一个很高的程度，在痛苦出现之前，靠着中立的过程，去避开朝向痛苦的摆动。
By rising on to the higher plane of the Ego, much of the experience that comes to those dwelling on the lower plane is avoided and escaped.
依靠提升到自我较高的层面上，那些是在较低层面的许多经验，可以被消除和避免。
The Law of Compensation plays an important part in the lives of men and women. It will be noticed that one generally "pays the price" of anything he possesses or lacks.
补偿法则在人类生命中扮演了一个重要的角色。要注意到，一个人对任何的拥有和失去，总是要付代价。
If he has one thing, he lacks another--the balance is struck. No one can "keep his penny and have the bit of cake" at the same time Everything has its pleasant and unpleasant sides.
他得到了某个，他失去另一个——维持着平衡。没有人在同一个时间，能够不花钱又吃到蛋糕。每一个事物有它快乐和不快乐的方面。
The things that one gains are always paid for by the things that one loses. The rich possess much that the poor lack, while the poor often possess things that are beyond the reach of the rich.
一个人的获得，总是由另一个的失去来支付。富人拥有很多穷人所没有的，而穷人拥有的却是富人的财富买不到的东西。
The millionaire may have the inclination toward feasting, and the wealth wherewith to secure all the dainties and luxuries of the table, while he lacks the appetite to enjoy the same;
he envies the appetite and digestion of the laborer who lacks the wealth and inclinations of the millionaire, and who gets more pleasure from his plain food than the millionaire could obtain even if his appetite were not jaded, nor his digestion ruined, for the wants, habits and inclinations differ.
百万富翁倾心于盛宴和财富，维持桌面上的华丽和美味，但同时却失去了享受它们的胃口。他妒忌劳动者的胃口和消化能力，而劳动者却缺少财富，向往成为百万富翁，可他们从他们普通的食物中得到了比百万富翁得到的更多的快乐，即使百万富翁的胃口很好，消化能力也没有衰退，但是希望、习惯和爱好却是不同的。
And so it is through life.
The Law of Compensation is ever in operation, striving to balance and counter-balance, and always succeeding in time, even though several lives may be required for the return swing of the Pendulum of Rhythm.
这些贯穿着生命。补偿法则永远运转着，努力朝向平衡和反向的平衡，总是在时间中持续着，要完成节律摆锤的回摆，甚至可能需要几次生命的过程。
CHAPTER XI RHYTHM
第十一章 节律
"Everything flows out and in; everything has its tides;
all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests
in everything; the measure of the swing to the right,
is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm
compensates"--The Kybalion.
一切事物都在流动，有出有进；一切事物都有它的潮汐；一切事物都升起又回落；钟摆现象发生在每一事物中；右摆的幅度就是左摆的幅度；节律互相补偿着。
——Kybalion
The great Fifth Hermetic Principle--the Principle of Rhythm-embodies the truth that in everything there is manifested a measured motion; a to-and-from movement; a flow and inflow; a swing forward and backward; a pendulum-like movement; a tide-like ebb and flow; a high-tide and a low- tide;
between the two-poles manifest on the physical, mental or spiritual planes.
The Principle of rhythm is closely connected with the Principle of Polarity described in the preceding chapter.
Rhythm manifests between the two poles established by the Principle of Polarity.
伟大帮赫尔墨斯的第五法则
——节律法则
——揭示的真理是，显化在物理、精神和灵魂的层面上，在两个极性之间，在每一个事物中，都显化一个可测量的运动、一个往复的运动、一个流入和流出、向前和向后的飘动、一个钟摆般的运动、一个潮汐般的涨落、一个大潮和一个小潮。
节律法则与前一章讲述的极性法则有紧密的关系。
节律通过极性法则在两个极性之间显化着。
This does not mean, however, that the pendulum of Rhythm swings to the extreme poles, for this rarely happens; in fact, it is difficult to establish the extreme polar opposites in the majority of cases. But the swing is ever "toward" first one pole and then the other.
无论如何，这不是意味着节律的摆锤摆动到极端点，这是极少发生的；事实上，在众多案例里，确定极端的端点是困难的。摆动总是从一个极性再到另一个极性。
There is always an action and reaction; an advance and a retreat; a rising and a sinking; manifested in all of the airs and phenomena of the Universe.
在宇宙的所有事物和现象中，总是有一个行动和一个回返的行动；一个前进和一个倒退；一个上升和一个下降。
Suns, worlds, men, animals, plants, minerals, forces, energy, mind and matter, yes, even Spirit, manifests this Principle.
恒星们，社会们，人类，动物，植物，矿物，力量，能量，思想，物质，还有，甚至灵魂，都显化着这个法则。
The Principle manifests in the creation and destruction of worlds; in the rise and fall of nations; in the life history of all things; and finally in the mental states of Man.
这个法则显化在社会的创立和毁灭之中；在民族的兴起和没落之中；在所有事物的生命历史中；最后在人类的精神状态之中。
Beginning with the manifestations of Spirit
--of THE ALL
--it will be noticed that there is ever the Outpouring and the Indrawing; the "Outbreathing and Inbreathing of Brahm," as the Brahmans word it.
由精神的显化开始
——全能者
——要注意这里的持续的流出和吸入；婆罗门说的梵天的呼与吸。
Universes are created; reach their extreme low point of materiality; and then begin in their upward swing.
Suns spring into being, and then their height of power being reached, the process of retrogression begins,
and after aeons they become dead masses of matter, awaiting another impulse which starts again their inner energies into activity and a new solar life cycle is begun.
宇宙的被创造，达到它们物质性的极端低点，然后开始它们向上的摆动。
恒星跃入存在，它们力量的高点一旦达到，衰退的过程就开始了，
在亿万年后，它们成为死寂的物质，等待另一次的推动把它们的内在能量带入活跃，并且开始一轮新的生命循环。
And thus it is with all the worlds; they are born, grow and die; only to be reborn. And thus it is with all the things of shape and form; they swing from action to reaction; from birth to death; from activity to inactivity--and then back again.
这个过程伴随着所有的世界；它们诞生，成长，死亡，只是要去再生。这是伴随着所有形状和形式的所有事物的；它们摆动，从行动到反应；从出生到死亡；从活跃到不活跃
——然后的再回转过来。
Thus it is with all living things; they are born, grow, and die--and then are reborn. So it is with all great movements, philosophies, creeds, fashions, governments, nations, and all else-birth, growth, maturity, decadence, death-and then new-birth. The swing of the pendulum is ever in evidence.
这也在所有生命事物中；他们出生，成长，和死亡——然后是再生。这也同样伴随着所有伟大的运动，哲学，信仰，时尚，政府，国家，和其它所有的——诞生，成长，成熟，衰落，死亡——然后是再生。摆锤的摇摆永远是显而易见的。
Night follows day; and day night. The pendulum swings from Summer to Winter, and then back again.
夜以继日，日以继夜。摆锤从夏摆到冬，然后又返回来。
The corpuscles, atoms, molecules, and all masses of matter, swing around the circle of their nature.
粒子，原子，分子，和所有的海量物质，围绕它们本性的循环摆动。
There is no such thing as absolute rest, or cessation from movement, and all movement partakes of rhythm.
The principle is of universal application.
在运动上没有绝对停滞或是静止的事物，所有的运动伴随着节律法则，这个法则是寰宇适宜的。
It may be applied to any question, or phenomena of any of the many planes of life.
它可以被用在生命的许多层面的任何问题和任何现象上。
It may be applied to all phases of human activity.
它可以被用到人类活动的任何阶段中。
There is always the Rhythmic swing from one pole to the other.
总是有个节律的摆动，从这个极性到另一个极性。
The Universal Pendulum is ever in motion. The Tides of Life flow in and out, according to Law.
宇宙的钟摆永远处在运动之中。生命的潮汐也遵循法则涨落。
The Principle of rhythm is well understood by modern science, and is considered a universal law as applied to material things.
节律法则已经很好地被现代科学所掌握，被认为是应用在物质事物上的宇宙法则。
But the Hermetists carry the principle much further, and know that its manifestations and influence extend to the mental activities of Man,
and that it accounts for the bewildering succession of moods, feelings and other annoying and perplexing changes that we notice in ourselves.
但是，赫尔墨斯者们把这个法则推到更广远的境地，知道它的显化和影响同样也是扩展到人类的精神活动上，
它揭示了那些我们注意到在我们之内的，混乱轮替的心态、感受，以及其它的烦恼和困惑的变化。
But the Hermetists by studying the operations of this Principle have learned to escape some of its activities by Transmutation.
但是，赫尔墨斯者们利用研习这个法则的运行，学会了通过转化去避开其中的一些影响。
The Hermetic Masters long since discovered that while the Principle of Rhythm was invariable, and ever in evidence in mental phenomena, still there were two planes of its manifestation so far as mental phenomena are concerned.
赫尔墨斯大师们久远以前就发现节律法则是永恒的，永远显化于精神现象，在涉及的精神现象上，它的表象有两个层面。
They discovered that there were two general planes of Consciousness, the Lower and the Higher, the understanding of which fact enabled them to rise to the higher plane
and thus escape the swing of the Rhythmic pendulum which manifested on the lower plane.
In other words, the swing of the pendulum occurred on the Unconscious Plane, and the Consciousness was not affected.
他们发现有两个普通的意识层面，较低的和较高的，对这个事实的理解，使他们能够提升到较高的，
这样得以避开在较低层面显化的节律摆动。
换一种说法，摆锤的摆动，发生在潜意识层面里，显意识层面不受影响。
This they call the Law of Neutralization.
这称为中立法则（Law of Neutralization）。
Its operations consist in the raising of the Ego above the vibrations of the Unconscious Plane of mental activity, so that the negative-swing of the pendulum is not manifested in consciousness, and therefore they are not affected.
它的运作由精神活动的潜意识层面的振动自我提升，钟摆的负向摆动，不显化在显意识上，他们就不受影响。
It is akin to rising above a thing and letting it pass beneath you.
这类似于你上升到超过某个事物，让它在你的下面通过。
The Hermetic Master, or advanced student, polarizes himself at the desired pole, and by a process akin to "refusing" to participate in the backward swing or,
赫尔墨斯大师，或者优秀的学生，在期望的极性极化他们自己，依靠类似”拒绝”的方法参与回摆，或者，
if you prefer, a "denial" of its influence over him, he stands firm in his polarized position, and allows the mental pendulum to swing back along the unconscious plane.
如果你愿意，去否定作用在他身上的影响。他坚定站在他极化的位置上，并且允许精神摆锤沿着潜意识的层面回摆。
All individuals who have attained any degree of self- mastery, accomplish this, more or less unknowingly, and by refusing to allow their moods and negative mental states to affect them, they apply the Law of Neutralization.
所有已经达到自我控制等级的人，都靠着拒绝让他们的心态和负面心理状态影响他们，或多或少无意识地这样做，他们在应用中立法则。
The Master, however, carries this to a much higher degree of proficiency, and by the use of his Will he attains a degree of Poise and Mental Firmness almost impossible of belief on the part of those who allow themselves to be swung backward and forward by the mental pendulum of moods and feelings.
可是大师，把这带入到一个更高的精熟程度，靠着他们的意志，他们达到的平衡和心理稳固的程度，那是随着心态和感受的心理摆锤摇来摇去的人们，几乎无法相信的。
The importance of this will be appreciated by any thinking person who realizes what creatures of moods, feelings and emotion the majority of people are, and how little mastery of themselves they manifest.
这里的重要性为每位思考者认同，他们认识到大部分人是心态、感受和情绪活动的傀儡，在他们的显化上，能够把握的是如此微小。
If you will stop and consider a moment, you will realize how much these swings of Rhythm have affected you in your life
如果你愿意停下来思考片刻，你会认识到在你的生命中，这些节律的摆动多大地影响了你
--how a period of Enthusiasm has been invariably followed by an opposite feeling and mood of Depression.
——一个高度狂热的阶段如何总是跟随着一个消沉的反面感受和负面心态。
Likewise, your moods and periods of Courage have been succeeded by equal moods of Fear.
同样，你的勇敢的阶段被相等的恐惧心态追随着。
In addition to the changing of the poles of one's own mental states by the operation of the art of Polarization, the phenomena of Mental Influence, in its manifold phases, shows us that the principle may be extended so as to embrace the phenomena of the influence of one mind over that of another, of which so much has been written and taught of late years.
依靠极化艺术的运作，一个人可以增加自己的精神状态的极性的改变。在精神许多阶段里的这个心理影响的现象，告诉我们，这个法则能够被扩展到包括作用于对其他精神影响，这个现象上去，对于这些，近来已经有很多作品和教导出现。
When it is understood that Mental Induction is possible, that is that mental states may be produced by "induction" from others,
then we can readily see how a certain rate of vibration, or polarization of a certain mental state, may be communicated to another person, and his polarity in that class of mental states thus changed.
当理解了精神感应是可能的，就是精神状态能够被来自他人的感应而产生变化，
那么我们能够容易看到，某种特定心理状态的振动速率或者极化，能够沟通到其他人，并且他在那类的心理状态的极性，这样就被改变了。
It is along this principle that the results of many of the "mental treatments" are obtained. For instance, a person is "blue," melancholy and full of fear.
沿着这个法则，可以获得许多心理态度的效果。例如，一个人是哀愁、忧伤、非常恐惧。
A mental scientist bringing his own mind up to the desired vibration by his trained will, and thus obtaining the desired polarization in his own case, then produces a similar mental state in the other by induction, the result being that the vibrations are raised and the person polarizes toward the Positive end of the scale instead toward the Negative, and his Fear and other negative emotions are transmuted to Courage and similar positive mental states.
精神科学家依靠意志的训练，把他们自身的心理增加到期望的振动，在他们自己的情景中获得期望上的转变，依靠感应，产生相同的心理状态在其他人身上，结果是振动的提升，病人的极化方向被修复朝向标度的正向一方，而不是朝向负向，他的害怕和其它负面情绪，被转变，达到勇敢以及同样的正向心理状态。
A little study will show you that these mental changes are nearly all along the line of Polarization, the change being one of degree rather than of kind.
一点小小的研究可以告诉你，这些精神改变只是沿着极性的的路线，这个改变只是在程度上，而非在类别间的。
A knowledge of the existence of this great Hermetic Principle will enable the student to better understand his own mental states, and those of other people.
认识这个赫尔墨斯伟大法则的存在，将使学生能够更好地理解他自己以及其他人的精神状态。
He will see that these states are all matters of degree, and seeing thus, he will be able to raise or lower the vibration at will
--to change his mental poles, and thus be Master of his mental states, instead of being their servant and slave.
他会看到这些状态都只是程度上的，有这样的看到，就是你将能在意志上提高或者降低振动——能够改变它的心理极性，而变为他的精神状态的主人，而非它们的仆人或者奴隶。
And by his knowledge he will be able to aid his fellows intelligently and by the appropriate methods change the polarity when the same is desirable.
靠着他的知识，他可以聪明地帮助他周围的人，依靠适宜的方法，当在适当的时候，改变极性。
We advise all students to familiarize themselves with this Principle of Polarity, for a correct understanding of the same will throw light on many difficult subjects.
我们建议所有的学生，要让自己熟悉这个极性法则，对极性法则的正确理解，将照亮到许多困难事物。
Scientists have offered the illustration of a rapidly moving wheel, top, or cylinder, to show the effects of increasing rates of vibration.
科学家们提出的对快速运动的轮子、顶盖、或者圆柱体的解释，显化了振动速率提升的效果。
The illustration supposes a wheel, top, or revolving cylinder, running at a low rate of speed--we will call this revolving thing "the object" in following out the illustration.
这种解释假设一个轮子、顶盖，或者旋转的圆柱是在一个低速运行状态
——我们要在下面的讨论中称这个旋转的东西为客体。
Let us suppose the object moving slowly.
让我们假设这个客体是在慢速运动。
It may be seen readily, but no sound of its movement reaches the ear. The speed is gradually increased. In a few moments its movement becomes so rapid that a deep growl or low note may be heard.
它已经能够被看到，但却没有运动的声响达到你的耳朵。速度逐渐增加，几分钟后运动变得很快，一个深沉或者低音可以被听到。
Then as the rate is increased the note rises one in the musical scale. Then, the motion being still further increased, the next highest note is distinguished.
然后，当速度提高，在音乐标度上的音频升高。
运动进一步加快，音频还在继续升高。
Then, one after another, all the notes of the musical scale appear, rising higher and higher as the motion is increased.
随着运动进一步加快，一个接着一个，音乐标度上的所有音符都出现了。
Finally when the motions have reached a certain rate the final note perceptible to human ears is reached and the shrill, piercing shriek dies away, and silence follows.
最终，当运动达到某个速率，人耳可以觉察的最高音符来到了，尖而刺耳的声音消失，平静到来。
No sound is heard from the revolving object, the rate of motion being so high that the human ear cannot register the vibrations.
再没有来自旋转客体的声音可以被听到。运动的速率如此之高，人耳无法再记录这个振动。
Then comes the perception of rising degrees of Heat. Then after quite a time the eye catches a glimpse of the object becoming a dull dark reddish color.
那么再来到对热的上升程度的感知上。经过一段时间之后，眼睛捕捉到客体迟钝、暗淡、红化色彩的感受。
As the rate increases, the red becomes brighter. Then as the speed is increased, the red melts into an orange.
随着速率的上升，红色变得明亮了。当速率再上升，红色溶入橘黄色。
Then the orange melts into a yellow. Then follow, successively, the shades of green, blue, indigo, and finally violet, as the rate of sped increases.
然后，橘黄色溶入黄色。再然后，当速率上升，继续跟随的，是绿色、蓝色和紫罗兰色的光亮。
Then the violet shades away, and all color disappears, the human eye not being able to register them.
然后，紫色消退，所有颜色消失，人的眼睛无法再记录它们。
But there are invisible rays emanating from the revolving object, the rays that are used in photographing, and other subtle rays of light.
但还是有不可见光从旋转客体发射出来，那可以被用在摄影上，以及其它种的射线。
Then begin to manifest the peculiar rays known as the "X Rays," etc., as the constitution of the object changes.
然后，当客体的构造改变，开始显化的特殊射线是所知的X光，等等。
Electricity and Magnetism are emitted when the appropriate rate of vibration is attained.
当达到振动的适当速率，会出现电磁辐射。
When the object reaches a certain rate of vibration its molecules disintegrate, and resolve themselves into the original elements or atoms.
当客体抵达某一个振动速率，它的分子破裂，分裂自身成为原本的元素或者原子。
Then the atoms, following the Principle of Vibration, are separated into the countless corpuscles of which they are composed.
然后是原子，遵循振动法则，分裂成无法计数的粒子，原子原本是由这些组成。
And finally, even the corpuscles disappear and the object may be said to Be composed of The Ethereal Substance.
最终，粒子也要消失，客体可以被说成，是由以太实质所构成。
Science does not dare to follow the illustration further, but the Hermetists teach that if the vibrations be continually increased the object would mount up the successive states of manifestation and would in turn manifest the various mental stages, and then on Spiritward, until it would finally re-enter THE ALL, which is Absolute Spirit.
科学还不敢继续作进一步的讲说，但是，赫尔墨斯者们教导说，如果振动继续上升，客体会沿着显化的状态继续提高，而来到不同心理状态的显化上，在精神的方向上，直到最终再进入全能者，那是绝对的精神。
The "object," however, would have ceased to be an "object" long before the stage of Ethereal Substance was reached,
but otherwise the illustration is correct inasmuch as it shows the effect of constantly increased rates and modes of vibration.
无论如何，当客体到达以太实质阶段前很久，就已经不再是一个客体了，
但是在另一方面，这个讲说是对的，是在表示振动速率和模式的不断提升的效果上。
It must be remembered, in the above illustration, that at the stages at which the "object" throws off vibrations of light, heat, etc., it is not actually "resolved" into those forms of energy (which are much higher in the scale),
必须记住，在上面的讲说里，在客体抛出光、热，等等的振动的状态的阶段，在这个阶段，它不是实际被熔解进入那些能量形态（这些能量在标度上是更高的），
but simply that it reaches a degree of vibration in which those forms of energy are liberated, in a degree, from the confining influences of its molecules, atoms and corpuscles, as the case may be.
但简单地说，它达到了一个振动的等级，在那里，那些能量形态被从禁锢中释放出来，从它的分子、原子，和粒子的限制中，依照各自的形态。
These forms of energy, although much higher in the scale than matter, are imprisoned and confined in the material combinations,
这些能量形式，虽然在标度上远高于物质，是被禁锢和限制在物质的合成体里的，
by reason of the energies manifesting through, and using material forms,
因着能量显化的缘故，通过利用物质形式，
but thus becoming entangled and confined in their creations of material forms, which, to an extent, is true of all creations, the creating force becoming involved in its creation.
但是因此变得纠缠和禁锢在它们的物质形态的造化物中，在范围上，这对所有的造化都是真的，造化的力量变得纠缠在它的造化物里。
But the Hermetic Teachings go much further than do those of modern science.
They teach that all manifestation of thought, emotion, reason, will or desire, or any mental state or condition, are accompanied by vibrations, a portion of which are thrown off and which tend to affect the minds of other persons by "induction."
但是赫尔墨斯教导，比那些现代科学走得更远。
它们教导说，所有思想、情感、推理、意志、或者意愿，或者任何精神状态或情境，这些的显化，都是由振动相伴的，其中一部分是通过感应，对他人的思想进行推开或者吸引。
This is the principle which produces the phenomena of "telepathy"; mental influence, and other forms of the action and power of mind over mind, with which the general public is rapidly becoming acquainted, owing to the wide dissemination of occult knowledge by the various schools, cults and teachers along these lines at this time.
法则产生的现象，比如意念移物、精神影响，以及其它形式的，心理约束心理的行动和力量形式，这些普通大众已经很快变得熟悉了，这要归功于现在沿着这条道路上发展的不同体系、门派、教师，对奥秘知识的广泛传播。
Every thought, emotion or mental state has its corresponding rate and mode of vibration.
每一个思想、情绪或者精神状态，有它相应的振动速率和模式。
And by an effort of the will of the person, or of other persons, these mental states may be reproduced, just as a musical tone may be reproduced by causing an instrument to vibrate at a certain rate
--just as color may be reproduced in the same may.
依靠自己或者他人的意志的努力，这些精神状态能够被产生出来，正如一个音乐上的音调，可以通过让乐器的在某一个速率上振动而达成
——同样，颜色也可以被同样方式造就。
By a knowledge of the Principle of Vibration, as applied to Mental Phenomena, one may polarize his mind at any degree he wishes, thus gaining a perfect control over his mental states, moods, etc.
依靠振动法则的知识，应用到精神现象上，一个人可以极化他的心理到他希望的任何等级，那样就获得对他的心理状态、情绪，等等，的完美控制。
In the same way he may affect the minds of others, producing the desired mental states in them.
同样的方法，他可以影响其它人的思想，在他们之中造成期望的精神状态。
In short, he may be able to produce on the Mental Plane that which science produces on the Physical Plane
--namely, "Vibrations at Will."
简言之，他能够在精神层面上成就，而科学在物理层面上成就
——我们可以称为在意志上的振动。
This power of course may be acquired only by the proper instruction, exercises, practice, etc., the science being that of Mental Transmutation, one of the branches of the Hermetic Art.
当然，这个能力只能够通过正确的指导、锻炼和实践等得到，这是精神转化的科学，一个赫尔墨斯艺术的分支。
A little reflection on what we have said will show the student that the Principle of Vibration underlies the wonderful phenomena of the power manifested by the Masters and Adepts, who are able to apparently set aside the Laws of Nature, but who,
in reality, are simply using one law against another; one principle against others; and who accomplish their results by changing the vibrations of material objects, or forms of energy, and thus perform what are commonly called "miracles."
反思一下我们讲到的，将告诉学生这样一点，
振动法则是大师们和行家们展示的神奇力量现象的根基，他们能够明显地把自然法则搁置一边，
但是事实上，他们只是简单地使用一个法则对抗另一个法则；一个法则对抗其它法则；
依靠改变物质体的振动，或者改变能量的形式，而达到他们的效果，这样他们表演了大众称为的奇迹。
As one of the old Hermetic writers has truly said: "He who understands the Principle of Vibration, has grasped the scepter of Power."
正如一位古老的赫尔墨斯作者真诚地说的，那些理解了振动法则的，已经握住了力量的权杖。
The Plane of Energy (C) comprises seven sub-planes of energy so highly organized that it bears many of the characteristics of "life,"
but which is not recognized by the minds of men on the ordinary plane of development, being available for the use on beings of the Spiritual Plane alone--such energy is unthinkable to ordinary man, and may be considered almost as "the divine power."
The beings employing the same are as "gods" compared even to the highest human types known to us.
能量层面（C）下又分为七个层面，这些能量层面组织有序，具有许多生命体的特征。
但是该能量层面并不被处在普通发展层的人所认可（普通人），只有那些发展到精神层面达到一定境界的人才对其加以认可和使用。
在一般人看来，这种能量形式是不可思议的，几乎可以被看成是神的力量。
而可以利用这一层面能量的人，即使与最高级的人类形态相比，也几乎就是神了。
The Great Mental Plane comprises those forms of "living things" known to us in ordinary life, as well as certain other forms not so well known except to the occultist.
The classification of the Seven Minor Mental Planes is more or less satisfactory and arbitrary (unless accompanied by elaborate explanations which are foreign to the purpose of this particular work), but we may as well mention them. They are as follows:
大精神层面包含我们日常所指的有生命的物体形式，还有一些仅为神秘主义者所熟知的其他形式。
思想层面下的七个亚层面的划分也是具有一定任意性的，也许举一些具体的例子会更有说服力，但是那样会偏离我们的主题。
尽管如此，我们还是要提及一下，它的七个亚层面分别是：
1. The Plane of Mineral Mind
2. The Plane of Elemental Mind (A)
3. The Plane of Plant Mind
4. The Plane of Elemental Mind (B)
5. The Plane of Animal Mind
6. The Plane of Elemental Mind (C)
7. The Plane of Human Mind
I.矿物思想层面；
II.基础思想层面（A）；
III.植物思想层面；
IV.基础思想层面（B）；
V.动物思想层面；
VI.基础思想层面（C）；
VII.人类思想层面。
The Plane of Mineral Mind comprises the "states or conditions" of the units or entities, or groups and combinations of the same, which animate the forms known to us as "minerals, chemicals, etc."
矿物思想层面包含上述物质层面的组合实体、合成体。物质层面赋予了我们所知道的矿物质化合物等形式以生命。
These entities must not be confounded with the molecules, atoms and corpuscles themselves, the latter being merely the material bodies or forms of these entities, just as a man's body is but his material form and not "himself."
注意不要将这些实体与分子、原子和细胞等混淆了，分子、原子和细胞只是这些实体的物质部分或者形式，就像人类的身体只是人的肉体而不是人类本身。
These entities may be called "souls" in one sense, and are living beings of a low degree of development, life, and mind--just a little more than the units of "living energy" which comprise the higher sub-divisions of the highest Physical Plane.
从某种意义上讲，这些实体可以称作灵魂，它们是处于低级发展阶段的生命体，是生命与思想发展的萌芽状态，仅仅比包含位于最高级物质层面中较高级的小层面的生命能量的组合体高级一点点。
The average mind does not generally attribute the possession of mind, soul, or life, to the mineral kingdom, but all occultists recognize the existence of the same, and modern science is rapidly moving forward to the point-of-view of the Hermetic,
普通人一般不会认为矿物质层面具有思想、灵魂或者生命，但是所有的神秘主义者都这么认为，他们相信矿物质是有生命的。
in this respect. The molecules, atoms and corpuscles have their "loves and hates"; "likes and dislikes"; "attractions and repulsions". "affinities and non-affinities," etc.,
在这一点上，现代科学也转变了立场，接受了赫尔墨斯的观点。他们认为分子、原子和细胞都是有心理有感情的，它们都有自己的爱与恨、喜欢与厌恶，这样它们会相互吸引，或者相互排斥，等等。
and some of the more daring of modern scientific minds have expressed the opinion that the desire and will, emotions and feelings, of the atoms differ only in degree from those of men.
甚至现代科学领域有一些更大胆的想法，有人提出原子是有自己的愿望和意志的，它们是有感情和感觉的，而且它们的情感跟人类情感相比只是程度不同而已。
We have no time or space to argue this matter here.
All occultists know it to be a fact, and others are referred to some of the more recent scientific works for outside corroboration. There are the usual seven sub-divisions to this plane.
在此，我们就不再深入讨论这一问题。
神秘主义者认为这是无可争议的事实，其余的观点是近来科学界给出的证据。和前面的层面一样，这一层面也含有七个亚层面。
The Plane of Elemental Mind (A) comprises the state or condition, and degree of mental and vital development of a class of entities unknown to the average man, but recognized to occultists.
基础思想层面（A）也是指一种状态或者状况，以及这一类实体的精神上的至关重要的发展等级。这些实体是普通人所不熟悉的，但是神秘主义者却认识到了。
They are invisible to the ordinary senses of man, but, nevertheless, exist and play their part of the Drama of the Universe. Their degree of intelligence is between that of the mineral and chemical entities on the one hand, and of the entities of the plant kingdom on the other. There are seven subdivisions to this plane, also.
人们并不能看到也感觉不到这些实体，但它们却是实实在在存在的，并且在宇宙中发挥着它们特有的作用。它们的思维能力介于矿物质、化学物质实体和植物实体之间。同样，这一层面之下也包括七个亚层面。
The Plane of Plant Mind, in its seven sub-divisions, comprises the states or conditions of the entities comprising the kingdoms of the Plant World, the vital and mental phenomena of which is fairly well understood by the average intelligent person, many new and interesting scientific works regarding "Mind and Life in Plants" having been published during the last decade.
Plants have life, mind and "souls," as well as have the animals, man, and super-man.
植物思想层面，下分七个亚层面，包含构成植物王国的实体的状态或者状况。这一层面上不可忽视的心理现象是具有一般理解力的普通人就能明白的。
过去十年有许多关于植物及其心理的科学成果发表，这些新出版的文章或者书籍都很有意思。
植物是有生命的，就像动物、人类和超人类有生命意义一样。 （加速，可在视频中看见植物如动物）
The Plane of Elemental Mind (B), in its seven sub-divisions, comprises the states and conditions of a higher form of "elemental" or unseen entities, playing their part in the general work of the Universe, the mind and life of which form a part of the scale between the Plane of Plant Mind and the Plane of Animal Mind, the entities partaking of the nature of both.
基础思想层面（B）下分七个亚层面，同样是指某种状态或者状况，是一些基础的、无形实体的更高级形式的状态或者状况。它在宇宙中发挥着独特的作用。这一层面处于植物思想层面和动物思想层面之间，同时具有两个层面的特征。
The Plane of Animal Mind, in its seven sub-divisions, comprises the states and conditions of the entities, beings, or souls, animating the animal forms of life, familiar to us all. It is not necessary to go into details regarding this kingdom or plane of life, for the animal world is as familiar to us as is our own.
动物思想层面下分七个亚层面，包含一些实体、生命体或者灵魂的状态和状况。正是这些实体、生命体和灵魂赋予了我们所熟知的生命以生命力和活力。关于动物王国这一层面我们就没必要详述了，因为人们对动物的了解已经像对人类自身了解一样了。
The Plane of Elemental Mind (C), in its seven sub-divisions, comprises those entities or beings, invisible as are all such elemental forms, which partake of the nature of both animal and human life in a degree and in certain combinations. The highest forms are semi-human in intelligence.
基础思想层面 (C)的七个亚层面包含一些实体和生命体的状态。这些实体、生命体和基础形式一样是无形的，同时具有动物和人类的特征。这一层面的最高形式在理解力和智力方面已与人类相当。
The Plane of Human Mind, in its seven sub-divisions, comprises those manifestations of life and mentality which are common to Man, in his various grades, degrees, and divisions.
人类思想层面，同样可以分为七个亚层面，包含生命和精神力的表征，这些都是人们所熟悉的。这些表征分为不同的等级、程度和类别。
In this connection, we wish to point out the fact that the average man of today occupies but the fourth sub-division of the Plane of Human Mind, and only the most intelligent have crossed the borders of the Fifth Sub-Division.
在此，我们想强调一点：今天的普通人只不过位于人类思想层面的第四个小层面上，只有最聪明的人才可以跨过这一层面达到第五个小层面。
It has taken the race millions of years to reach this stage, and it will take many more years for the race to move on to the sixth and seventh sub-divisions, and beyond.
尽管如此，人类是经过了数百万年的历史才发展到这一层面的。要想达到更高级的第六和第七甚至更高的层面，人们还得发展数百万以至更多的时间。
But, remember, that there have been races before us which have passed through these degrees, and then on to higher planes.
但是，我们应该知道，有些生物种类已经先于我们经过了这些发展阶段，达到了更高的层面；
Our own race is the fifth (with stragglers from the fourth) which has set foot upon The Path.
而人类才刚刚步入第五层面（与第四层面上的落伍者相伴）。
And, then there are a few advanced souls of our own race who have outstripped the masses, and who have passed on to the sixth and seventh sub-division, and some few being still further on.
尽管如此，人类当中还是有一部分精神境界高的人已经超过了大部分普通人，进入了第六和第七小层面，甚至有极少数领先的进入了更高的层面。
The man of the Sixth Sub-Division will be "The Super-Man"; he of the Seventh will be "The Over-Man."
进入了第六小层面的人可以被称为超人（The Super-Man），而进入了第七层面的人就可以被称为圣人（The Over-Man）了。
In our consideration of the Seven Minor Mental Planes, we have merely referred to the Three Elementary Planes in a general way.
We do not wish to go into this subject in detail in this work, for it does not belong to this part of the general philosophy and teachings.
以上我们讨论了思想层面的七个小层面，但是对于其中的三个基础层面我们只是做了概要介绍，本书不再深入探讨，因为它与普通哲学的相关内容关联不大。
But we may say this much, in order to give you a little clearer idea, of the relations of these planes to the more familiar ones
但是为了让大家对这些层面和大家更熟悉的基础层面之间的关系有一个更清楚的了解，我们再做一下补充说明。
--the Elementary Planes bear the same relation to the Planes of Mineral, Plant, Animal and Human Mentality and Life, that the black keys on the piano do to the white keys.
基础层面和其他层面，例如，矿物质、植物、动物以及人类思想层面的关系就如同钢琴键盘上的黑键白键的关系一样。
The white keys are sufficient to produce music, but there are certain scales, melodies, and harmonies, in which the black keys play their part, and in which their presence is necessary.
如仅供演奏之需，仅白键就足够了。
但是仍有一些音阶、旋律以及和谐之音是需要过渡的黑键来演绎的，这样黑键的存在就是必要的了。
They are also necessary as "connecting links" of soul-condition; entity states, etc., between the several other planes, certain forms of development being attained therein
同样，基础层面就像黑键一样，充当着不同等级的精神状态之间的连接角色，有一些发展实体形式已经达到了一个更高的等级。
--this last fact giving to the reader who can "read between the lines" a new light upon the processes of Evolution, and a new key to the secret door of the "leaps of life" between kingdom and kingdom.
如果读者可以领悟以上事实的言外之意，他就能明白这其实是一种进化过程，这样他也就掌握了从一个生命王国迈进另一个生命王国之门的钥匙，这里的每一步都是生命进化的飞跃。
The great kingdoms of Elementals are fully recognized by all occultists, and the esoteric writings are full of mention of them.
神秘主义者已经完全接受了这些基础层面的偌大的王国，这在他们历代的著作中都有充分体现。
The readers of Bulwer's "Zanoni" and similar tales will recognize the entities inhabiting these planes of life.
你如果有机会读一下十九世纪的英国大师布尔沃•利顿（Bulwer Lytton）的《扎罗尼》（Zanoni）或者类似的故事，你就会对这些生命层面的各种实体有一个新的认识。
But the idea intended seems to be that of the employment of the Divine Attention. "Attention" is a word derived from the Latin root, meaning "to reach out; to stretch out," and so the act of Attention is really a mental "reaching out; extension" of mental energy, so that the underlying idea is readily understood when we examine into the real meaning of "Attention."
但这个概念似乎倾向于对神圣的注意的利用。“注意”一词来自拉丁词根，本意是“伸出”（to reach out;to stretch out）。所以注意这个行动实际上是心智的“伸出”，或者心智能量的延伸出来。
这样，当我们查验了“注意”的真正意思，就容易理解它的内在观念了。
The Hermetic Teachings regarding the process of Evolution are that, THE ALL, having meditated upon the beginning of the Creation
--having thus established the material foundations of the Universe
--having thought it into existence
--then gradually awakens or rouses from its Meditation and in so doing starts into manifestation the process of Evolution, on the material mental and spiritual planes, successively and in order.
关于演化进程的赫尔墨斯增是这样的：
全能者，已经冥想着关于创造物的开始
——就这样建立了宇宙的物质基础
——已经构想着它存在
——然后从它的冥想中逐渐苏醒或者觉醒，就这样开始了演化的呈现过程，在物质、心理和精神层面上，连续而有目的地进行。
Thus the upward movement begins--and all begins to move Spiritward. Matter becomes less gross; the Units spring into being; the combinations begin to form; Life appears and manifests in higher and higher forms; and Mind becomes more and more in evidence--the vibrations constantly becoming higher.
这样，向上的运动开始——一切都开始朝着精神化的方向运动。物质变得不那么粗陋；各个单元涌现而存在；相互组合开始形成；生命出现了，并在越来越高的形态上显化；思想明显越来越多——振动持续地变得更高。
In short, the entire process of Evolution, in all of its phases, begins, and proceeds according to the established "Laws of the Indrawing" process.
简言之，整个演化的过程，在它的所有阶段开始，然后按照吸入法则的建立过程继续着。
All of this occupies aeons upon aeons of Man's time, each aeon containing countless millions of years, but yet the Illumined inform us that the entire creation, including Involution and Evolution, of an Universe, is but "as the twinkle of the eye" to THE ALL.
所有这些始终占据着一艾昂（Aeon）又一艾昂的人类时间，每艾昂包含着无数个百万年的时间，然而先觉者（光明天使）如是说，整个宇宙的创造过程，包括进化和演化，对于全能者来说，只不过是一眨眼的时间。
At the end of countless cycles of aeons of time, THE ALL withdraws its Attention--its Contemplation and Meditation--of the Universe, for the Great Work is finished--and All is withdrawn into THE ALL from which it emerged. But Mystery of Mysteries--the Spirit of each soul is not annihilated, but is infinitely expanded--the Created and the Creator are merged. Such is the report of the Illumined!
在一艾昂又一艾昂时间的无数周期的最终，全能者抽回它对宇宙的注意——它的注视和冥想，因为伟大的工作已经完成——然后一切都从它所出现的状态退回到全能者之中。但是种种的神秘——每一个灵魂的精髓都不会被彻底毁灭，不过可以无限地被扩散——被造物和造物主融为一体。先觉者（光明天使）如是说！
The above illustration of the "meditation," and subsequent "awakening from meditation," of THE ALL, is of course but an attempt of the teachers to describe the Infinite process by a finite example.
And, yet: "As Below, so Above." The difference is merely in degree.
以上关于全能者冥想和随后从冥想中苏醒的解说，当然只是老师借助一个明确的例子来描述无限过程的一个尝试。
然而支流怎样，源头就怎样。不同只在于程度上。
And just as THE ALL arouses itself from the meditation upon the Universe, so does Man (in time) cease from manifesting upon the Material Plane, and withdraws himself more and more into the Indwelling Spirit, which is indeed "The Divine Ego."
正如全能者自己从对宇宙的冥想中苏醒，人也停止在物质层面上显现自身，而越来越多地退回到内在的精神中，这就是真正的神圣自我。
There is one more matter of which we desire to speak in this lesson, and that comes very near to an invasion of the Metaphysical field of speculation, although our purpose is merely to show the futility of such speculation.
在这一节课中，还有一个我们希望说明的问题，它接近甚至侵入了形而上学思索的领域，尽管我们的目的只是表明这样的思索毫无意义。
We allude to the question which inevitably comes to the mind of all thinkers who have ventured to seek the Truth.
我们间接提及这个问题，因为它不可避免地出现在所有冒险寻求真理的思想者的思想里。
The question is: "WHY does THE ALL create Universes"
这个问题是：为什么全能者创造宇宙？
The question may be asked in different forms, but the above is the gist of the inquiry.
或许这个问题被以不同的形式问到，但以上就是各种询问的要旨。
Men have striven hard to answer this question, but still there is no answer worthy of the name. Some have imagined that THE ALL had something to gain by it, but this is absurd, for what could THE ALL gain that it did not already possess?
许多人殚精竭虑地想回答这个问题，但仍然没有什么有价值的解答。一些人猜想全能者通过创造宇宙来获得一些东西，但这非常荒唐，因为全能者怎么获得它事先所没有的东西呢？
Others have sought the answer in the idea that THE ALL "wished something to love" and others that it created for pleasure, or amusement;
or because it "was lonely" or to manifest its power;
--all puerile explanations and ideas, belonging to the childish period of thought.
其他人在全能者需要一些事物来爱的观念中寻求答案；还有其他人说，它是为了高兴、为了娱乐，因为它孤独或为了显现它的力量而创造它。
――所有这些幼稚的解释和观念，都属于儿童期的思想。
Others have sought to explain the mystery by assuming that THE ALL found itself "compelled" to create, by reason of its own "internal nature"--its "creative instinct."
其他人已通过假想全能者发现自己由于自身内在本质——它的创造本能——而被迫创造宇宙来寻求对这个奥秘的解释。
This idea is in advance of the others, but its weak point lies in the idea of THE ALL being "compelled" by anything, internal or external. If its "internal nature," or "creative instinct," compelled it to do anything, then the "internal nature" or "creative instinct" would be the Absolute, instead of THE ALL, and so accordingly that part of the proposition falls.
这个观念领先于其他人，但是它的弱点在于全能者被某些内在或外在的事物所逼迫。如果它的内在本质或创造本能逼迫它做一些事情，那么这个内在本质或创造本能就是绝对的主宰，而不是全能者，因此，这个主张就不成立。
And, yet, THE ALL does create and manifest, and seems to find some kind of satisfaction in so doing. And it is difficult to escape the conclusion that in some infinite degree it must have what would correspond to an "inner nature," or "creative instinct," in man, with correspondingly infinite Desire and Will.
然而，全能者确实创造和显现，似乎通过这么做来找到某种满足。而且，很难避开这样的结论，即在某种无限的程度上，它一定与人类的一种内在本质或创造本能相一致，具有相应的无限渴望和意志。
It could not act unless it Willed to Act; and it would not Will to Act, unless it Desired to Act and it would not Desire to Act unless it obtained some Satisfaction thereby.
它不能行动，除非它愿意行动；同样，它不愿行动，除非它渴望行动；它也不渴望行动，除非它因此而获得某种满足。
And all of these things would belong to an "Inner Nature," and might be postulated as existing according to the Law of Correspondence.
所有这些情形都属于一种内在本质，按照一致法则，它们有可能被视为一种理所当然的存在。
But, still, we prefer to think of THE ALL as acting entirely FREE from any influence, internal as well as external. That is the problem which lies at the root of difficulty--and the difficulty that lies at the root of the problem.
但，我们依然宁愿相信全能者是完全自由运行的，而不是受到各种内在或外在因素的影响。这是根本的难题——而困难就在于问题的根本。
Strictly speaking, there cannot be said to be any "Reason" whatsoever for THE ALL to act, for a "reason" implies a "cause," and THE ALL is above Cause and Effect, except when it Wills to become a Cause, at which time the Principle is set into motion.
严格来讲，不能说有任何理由使全能者运行，因为一个理由隐含着一个原因。而全能者超越因与果，除去当它愿意成为一个原因，此时有关法则开始运行。
So, you see, the matter is Unthinkable, just as THE ALL is Unknowable.
Just as we say THE ALL merely "IS"
--so we are compelled to say that "THE ALL ACTS BECAUSE IT ACTS."
At the last, THE ALL is All Reason in Itself; All Law in Itself; All Action in Itself
因此，你明白，这个问题不可想象，就像全能者不可知一样。
正如我们已经说的，全能者只是存在
——所以我们不得不说全能者运行因为它运行。
最终，全能者自身是一切理由，是一切法则，是一切运行
--and it may be said, truthfully, that THE ALL is Its Own Reason; its own Law; its own Act--or still further, that THE ALL; Its Reason; Its Act; is Law; are ONE, all being names for the same thing.
——也可以说，真的，全能者是它自己的理由，它自己的法则，它自己的运行——或者，更进一步说全能者，它的理由，它的法则，它的运行，是一，一切都是称呼同一事物。
In the opinion of those who are giving you these present lessons, the answer is locked up in the INNER SELF of THE ALL, along with its Secret of Being.
按照目前正在给你这些课程的人的观点，答案被锁在全能者的内在自我里面，与它存在的秘密伴随始终。
The Law of Correspondence, in our opinion, reaches only to that aspect of THE ALL, which may be spoken of as "The Aspect of BECOMING."
Back of that Aspect is "The Aspect of BEING" in which all Laws are lost in LAW; all Principles merge into PRINCIPLE--and THE ALL; PRINCIPLE; and BEING; are IDENTICAL, ONE AND THE SAME.
在我们看来，一致法则只是触及了全能者的表层，或许也可以说是形成的层面。表层的背面是本质的层面，在那里所有的法则都消失在大法则中，所有的法则都融合成大法则——而全能者、大法则和一切存在，都是一样的、是一、是同一事物。
Therefore, Metaphysical speculation on this point is futile.
因此，形而上学关于这一点的思索是毫无意义的。
We go into the matter here, merely to show that we recognize the question, and also the absurdity of the ordinary answers of metaphysics and theology.
我们在这里提及这个问题，只是为了表明我们认识到这个问题，同时也指明形而上学和神学关于这个问题的各种常见答案的荒谬。
In conclusion, it may be of interest to our students to learn that while some of the ancient, and modern, Hermetic Teachers have rather inclined in the direction of applying the Principle of Correspondence to the question, with the result of the "Inner Nature" conclusion,
最后，我们的学生可能有兴趣弄清楚这个问题，而一些古代和现代的赫尔墨斯神秘学说的老师宁可倾向于运用一致法则来指导，结果得出内在本质的结论。
--still the legends have it that HERMES, the Great, when asked this question by his advanced students, answered them by PRESSING HIS LIPS TIGHTLY TOGETHER and saying not a word, indicating that there WAS NO ANSWER.
据说，当伟大的赫尔墨斯被他进步的学生们问及这个问题时，他以嘴唇紧闭来回答他们，一个字也不说，表示这个问题没有答案。
But, then, he may have intended to apply the axiom of his philosophy, that: "The lips of Wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding,"
believing that even his advanced students did not possess the Understanding which entitled them to the Teaching.
但是，接着，他可能有目的地运用他的哲理箴言来回答：智慧的嘴唇是紧闭的，除非聆听它的耳朵才能理解。相信即使他进步的学生们都没有真正理解这个问题。
At any rate, if Hermes possessed the Secret, he failed to impart it, and so far as the world is concerned THE LIPS OF HERMES ARE CLOSED regarding it. And where the Great Hermes hesitated to speak, what mortal may dare to teach?
无论如何，如果赫尔墨斯拥有这个秘密，那么他也无法传授它，以致就世人而言，赫尔墨斯的嘴唇对它始终紧闭着。
But, remember, that whatever be the answer to this problem, if indeed there be an answer the truth remains that: "While All is in THE ALL, it is equally true that THE ALL is in All."
但是，请记住，无论这个问题的答案是什么，如果真有一个答案——真理依然是：一切存在于全能者之中，同样，全能者存在于万物之中也是正确的。
The Teaching on this point is emphatic.
关于这一点的教导非常重要。
And, we may add the concluding words of the quotation:
"To him who truly understands this truth, hath come great knowledge."
我们或许可以在它后面加上结论性的话语：
对于真正领会这个真理的人，他已经获得大智。
CHAPTER VII "THE ALL" IN ALL
第七章 全能者在万物之中
"While All is in THE ALL, it is equally true that THE
ALL is in ALL. To him who truly understands this
truth hath come great knowledge."--The Kybalion.
万物存在于全能者之中，同样地，全能者也存在于万物之中。对于真正领会这个真理的人，他已经获得大智。
——Kybalion
How often have the majority of people heard repeated the statement that their Deity (called by many names) was "All in All" and how little have they suspected the inner occult truth concealed by these carelessly uttered words?
大多数人经常反复听到这样的陈述，即他们的造物主是一切的一切，而他们很少怀疑这绝对草率的话语所掩盖的内在的深奥真理。
The commonly used expression is a survival of the ancient Hermetic Maxim quoted above.
As the Kybalion says: "To him who truly understands this truth, hath come great knowledge."
这个普遍使用的表述是上面所引用的古代赫尔墨斯箴言的延续。
正如Kybalion所说：真正领会这个真理的人，他已经获得大智。
And, this being so, let us seek this truth, the understanding of which means so much. In this statement of truth--this Hermetic Maxim--is concealed one of the greatest philosophical, scientific and religious truths.
正是如此，让我们寻求这个真理，这个真理包含的意义极多。在这个真理的陈述中——这个古代赫尔墨斯箴言——隐含着一个最伟大的哲学、科学和宗教的真理。
We have given you the Hermetic Teaching regarding the Mental Nature of the Universe--the truth that "the Universe is Mental--held in the Mind of THE ALL."
As the Kybalion says, in the passage quoted above: "All is in THE ALL." But note also the co-related statement, that: "It is equally true that THE ALL is in ALL."
我们已经给你赫尔墨斯关于宇宙精神本质的神秘教导：宇宙是精神的，存在于全能者的思想中。
恰如Kybalion在以上引用的段落所说：万物存在于全能者中。
但注意与之相应的陈述：全能者存在于万物中，也同样正确。
This apparently contradictory statement is reconcilable under the Law of Paradox. It is, moreover, an exact Hermetic statement of the relations existing between THE ALL and its Mental Universe.
这个明显矛盾的陈述在似非而是的一致法则下是相容的。而且，它恰恰是赫尔墨斯关于全能者和它的精神宇宙之间存在的关系的一个陈述。
We have seen how "All is in THE ALL"--now let us examine the other aspect of the subject.
我们已经明白万物存在于全能者之中。现在让我们来验证这个主题的另一面。
The Hermetic Teachings are to the effect that THE ALL is Imminent in ("remaining within; inherent; abiding within") its Universe, and in every part, particle, unit, or combination, within the Universe.
This statement is usually illustrated by the Teachers by a reference to the Principle of Correspondence.
赫尔墨斯教导的大意是：全能者内在于它的宇宙中，它存在于宇宙的每一个部分、微粒、单元或组合之中。
这个表述通常被论及一致法则的老师举例阐释。
The Teacher instructs the student to form a Mental Image of something, a person, an idea, something having a mental form, the favorite example being that of the author or dramatist forming an idea of his characters;
or a painter or sculptor forming an image of an ideal that he wishes to express by his art.
老师指导学生形成一些事物、一个人、一个创意、一些具有精神形式的事物以及作者或戏剧家反映他喜爱的性格特征的精神形象；
或一个画家、雕塑家形成一个他希望用他的艺术来表达的理想形象。
In each case, the student will find that while the image has its existence, and being, solely within his own mind,
yet he, the student, author, dramatist, painter, or sculptor, is, in a sense, immanent in;
remaining within; or abiding within, the mental image also.
在每一个例子中，学生会发现，在这期间这个形象有它的存在方式，而且仅仅在于他自己的内心，
然而，在某种程度上，他、学生、作者、戏剧家、画家或雕塑家都是固有于内心的。
保持于内心，遵从于内心，精神形象也是一样。
In other words, the entire virtue, life, spirit, of reality in the mental image is derived from the "immanent mind" of the thinker. Consider this for a moment, until the idea is grasped.
换一句话说，全部的德行、生活、灵魂、精神形象中的现实都来源于思考者固有的内在思想。好好思考这一点，直到领会它。
To take a modern example, let us say that Othello, Iago, Hamlet, Lear, Richard III, existed merely in the mind of Shakespeare, at the time of their conception or creation.
And yet, Shakespeare also existed within each of these characters, giving them their vitality, spirit, and action.
举一个现代的例子，让我们说奥勒留、拉戈、哈姆雷特、李尔王、理查德三世等，在构想和创造他们的时间里，他们仅仅存在于莎士比亚的内心。
同时，莎士比亚也存在于这些角色中，并给他们生命力、灵魂和行动。
Whose is the "spirit" of the characters that we know as Micawber, Oliver Twist, Uriah Heep
--is it Dickens, or have each of these characters a personal spirit, independent of their creator?
谁是我们所知道的麦考白、《雾都孤儿》中乌拉•希普的灵魂
——是狄更斯，还是这些角色各自有自己的灵魂而独立于他们的创造者？
Have the Venus of Medici, the Sistine Madonna, the Apollo Belvidere, spirits and reality of their own, or do they represent the spiritual and mental power of their creators?
维纳斯•梅迪西、西斯汀•麦当娜、阿波罗•贝尔维德勒有他们自己的精神和现实，还是只代表他们的创造者的灵魂和精神力量？
The Law of Paradox explains that both propositions are true, viewed from the proper viewpoints. Micawber is both Micawber, and yet Dickens. And, again, while Micawber may be said to be Dickens, yet Dickens is not identical with Micawber.
矛盾法则指出，从各自的视角看去，两方面都是对的。麦克白既是麦克白也是狄更斯。此外，可以说麦克白是狄更斯，虽然狄更斯不同于麦克白。
Man, like Micawber, may exclaim: "The Spirit of my Creator is inherent within me-- and yet I am not HE!"
人，就像麦考白，可能宣称：造物主的灵魂固然在我内心里——然而我不是他。
How different this from the shocking half-truth so vociferously announced by certain of the half-wise, who fill the air with their raucous cries of: "I am God!"
这和小智小慧者们的宣称有什么不同吗？他们满世界地叫喊：“我是上帝！”
Imagine poor Micawber, or the sneaky Uriah Heep, crying: "I Am Dickens"; or some of the lowly clods in one of Shakespeare's plays, eloquently announcing that: "I Am Shakespeare!"
想想可怜的麦考白，或鬼鬼祟祟的乌拉•希普，高喊着：我是狄更斯；或莎士比亚一部戏剧中一些小脚色夸张做作地宣称：我是莎士比亚！
THE ALL is in the earthworm, and yet the earth-worm is far from being THE ALL. And still the wonder remains, that though the earth-worm exists merely as a lowly thing, created and having its being solely within the Mind of THE ALL
全能者存在于蚯蚓之中，但蚯蚓远远不是全能者。
令人惊奇的还有，尽管蚯蚓只是作为低等动物而存在，但在全能者的内在思想里，它得以创造并独立存在
--yet THE ALL is immanent in the earthworm, and in the particles that go to make up the earth-worm. Can there be any greater mystery than this of "All in THE ALL; and THE ALL in All?"
——确实，全能者固然存在于蚯蚓之中，并在组成蚯蚓的微粒之中。哪儿能有比这个“万物存在于全能者之中，全能者存在于万物之中”更大的秘密？
The student will, of course, realize that the illustrations given above are necessarily imperfect and inadequate, for they represent the creation of mental images in finite minds, while the Universe is a creation of Infinite Mind
--and the difference between the two poles separates them.
当然，学生们会意识到上面所给的例证必定是不完美和不充分的，因为它们代表有限精神图像的产物，而宇宙是无限思想的产物
——两极之间的不同使它们各自分开。
And yet it is merely a matter of degree--the same Principle is in operation--the Principle of Correspondence manifests in each
--"As above, so Below; as Below, so above."
然而它们只是同一事物的不同等级——同样的法则在运行——一致法则显化在每一事物中
——源头怎样，支流就怎样；支流怎样，源头就怎样。
And, in the degree that Man realizes the existence of the Indwelling Spirit immanent within his being, so will he rise in the spiritual scale of life.
在等级上，人意识到自身固有的内在精神，因此他将上升到生活的精神层面。
This is what spiritual development means--the recognition, realization, and manifestation of the Spirit within us.
Try to remember this last definition--that of spiritual development.
It contains the Truth of True Religion.
这就是所说的精神发展的内涵——识别、实现和证明我们的内在精神。
一定要记住这个最后的释义——精神发展。
它包含着真正宗教的真理。
There are many planes of Being--many sub-planes of Life--many degrees of existence in the Universe.
在宇宙中有许多存在层面——生命的多个子层面——许多存在等级。
And all depend upon the advancement of beings in the scale, of which scale the lowest point is the grossest matter, the highest being separated only by the thinnest division from the SPIRIT of THE ALL.
一切都依赖于生存等级的进化。等级的最低端是粗糙的物质，最高等级的存在只能通过来自全能者精神的最稀薄的部分分离出来。
And, upward and onward along this Scale of Life, everything is moving.
沿着生命等级向上和向前，每一种事物都在运动之中。
All are on the Path, whose end is THE ALL.
万物都在路上，其终点是全能者。
All progress is a Returning Home. All is Upward and Onward, in spite of all seemingly contradictory appearances. Such is the message of the Illumined.
所有的进程都是一种回家。一切都在向上和向前，无论一切显得多么自相矛盾。这就是先觉者（光明天使）的信息。
The Hermetic Teachings concerning the process of the Mental Creation of the Universe, are that at the beginning of the Creative Cycle, THE ALL, in its aspect of Being, projects its Will toward its aspect of "Becoming" and the process of creation begins.
关于宇宙精神创造进程，赫尔墨斯教导是这样的：在创化周期的开始，全能者，在它存在的方面，表明了它朝向显化的意志，然后创造的过程就开始。
It is taught that the process consists of the lowering of Vibration until a very low degree of vibratory energy is reached, at which point the grossest possible form of Matter is manifested.
它告诉我们，这个过程由逐渐降低的振动组成，直到一个程度非常低的振动能形成，在这一端点上最粗糙的可能的物质形态得以呈现。
This process is called the stage of Involution, in which THE ALL becomes "involved," or "wrapped up," in its creation.
这个过程叫做回旋阶段，在该阶段全能者在它的创造物中被卷入，或者投入。
This process is believed by the Hermetists to have a Correspondence to the mental process of an artist, writer, or inventor, who becomes so wrapped up in his mental creation as to almost forget his own existence and who, for the time being, almost "lives in his creation,"
赫尔墨斯主义者认为这个过程跟艺术家、作家或者发明家的精神过程很一致，他在他的精神创造过程中是多么投入，以至几乎忘记他自己的存在，直至当前，几乎生活在他的创造物中。
If instead of "wrapped" we use the word "rapt," perhaps we will give a better idea of what is meant.
如果不用投入而用全神贯注这个词，或许我们将可以提供一个这意味着什么的更好的概念。
This Involuntary stage of Creation is sometimes called the "Outpouring" of the Divine Energy, just as the Evolutionary state is called the "Indrawing."
不知不觉的创造阶段有时也叫做神圣能量的流露，正如进化状态被称为吸入一样。
The extreme pole of the Creative process is considered to be the furthest removed from THE ALL, while the beginning of the Evolutionary stage is regarded as the beginning of the return swing of the pendulum of Rhythm--a "coming home" idea being held in all of the Hermetic Teachings.
创造过程的极端被认为是最大限度地远离全能者，而进化阶段的开始被认为是钟摆摆幅有节律的回摆——一个回家的概念在赫尔墨斯神秘学说中贯穿始终。
The Teachings are that during the "Outpouring," the vibrations become lower and lower until finally the urge ceases, and the return swing begins.
教导指明，在流露的过程中，振动变得越来越小，直到驱动力停止，然后回摆开始。
But there is this difference, that while in the "Outpouring" the creative forces manifest compactly and as a whole, yet from the beginning of the Evolutionary or "Indrawing" stage, there is manifested the Law of Individualization
但有这样一个区别，就是在流露的过程中，创造性的力量得到精确地显化，而作为一个整体，从进化或吸入阶段的开始，个性化法则得以显现
--that is, the tendency to separate into Units of Force, so that finally that which left THE ALL as unindividualized energy returns to its source as countless highly developed Units of Life, having risen higher and higher in the scale by means of Physical, Mental and Spiritual Evolution.
——即，分化成各个能量单元的倾向，以致到最后它们离开全能者，作为非个体化的能量回归到它的原处，就像无数高度发展的生命单元一样，已经借由生理、心理和精神的进化而上升到越来越高的等级。
The ancient Hermetists use the word "Meditation" in describing the process of the mental creation of the Universe in the Mind of THE ALL, the word "Contemplation" also being frequently employed.
古代赫尔墨斯们使用“冥想”这个词来描述，在全能者的思想里的，宇宙的精神创化过程。“沉思”一词也经常被用到。
