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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

行家、大师、天使、天使长、天神、天使会、众神

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Hermetic Principle of Mentalism, while explaining the true nature of the Universe upon the principle that all is Mental, does not change the scientific conceptions of the Universe, Life, or Evolution.
赫尔墨斯的精神法则，尽管借由一切都是精神的法则来解释宇宙的真正本质，但并没有改变宇宙、生命或进化的科学内涵。

In fact, science merely corroborates the Hermetic Teachings. The latter merely teaches that the nature of the Universe is "Mental," while modern science has taught that it is "Material"; or (of late) that it is "Energy" at the last analysis. The Hermetic Teachings have no fault to find with Herbert Spencer's basic principle which postulates the existence of an "Infinite and Eternal Energy, from which all things proceed."
事实上，科学只是验证了赫尔墨斯的神秘学说。后者只是告诉我们宇宙的本质是精神的，而现代科学则说它是物质的，或者最近分析说是能量。赫尔墨斯学说与赫伯特•斯宾塞（Herbert Spencer）假设存在一个使万事万物持续下去的无限和永恒的能量的基本法则完全一致。

In fact, the Hermetics recognize in Spencer's philosophy the highest outside statement of the workings of the Natural Laws that have ever been promulgated, and they believe Spencer to have been a reincarnation of an ancient philosopher who dwelt in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, and who later incarnated as Heraclitus, the Grecian philosopher who lived B. C. 500.
事实上，赫尔墨斯主义者认识到在斯宾塞的哲学中有着曾经传播的关于自然法则运行的最高陈述，而且他们相信斯宾塞是几千年前居住在古埃及的一位古代哲学家的再生，后来这位哲学家化身为生活在公元前500年古希腊哲学家赫拉克利特。

And they regard his statement of the "Infinite and Eternal Energy" as directly in the line of the Hermetic Teachings, always with the addition of their own doctrine that his "Energy" is the Energy of the Mind of THE ALL.
他们把他的关于无限和永恒的能量的论述视为与赫尔墨斯学说直接一脉相承，总是在关于他们自己的法则的补充说明中说，他的能量就是全能者思想的能量。

With the Master-Key of the Hermetic Philosophy, the student of Spencer will be able to unlock many doors of the inner philosophical conceptions of the great English philosopher, whose work shows the results of the preparation of his previous incarnations.
用赫尔墨斯学说的万能钥匙，斯宾塞的学生将能够打开这位伟大的英国哲学家关于内在哲学的许多概念之门。
His teachings regarding Evolution and Rhythm are in almost perfect agreement with the Hermetic Teachings regarding the Principle of Rhythm.
斯宾塞关于进化和节律的学说与赫尔墨斯关于节律法则的学说几乎完全一致。

So, the student of Hermetics need not lay aside any of his cherished scientific views regarding the Universe. All he is asked to do is to grasp the underlying principle of "THE ALL is Mind; the Universe is Mental--held in the mind of THE ALL."
因此，赫尔墨斯的学生不必把他任何宝贵的关于宇宙的科学观点放到一边。他所需要做的是领会隐藏着的：全能者是思想；在全能者的思想里，宇宙是精神的。

He will find that the other six of the Seven Principles will "fit into" his scientific knowledge, and will serve to bring out obscure points and to throw light in dark corners.
他将会发现其他的六项法则非常吻合他的科学知识，并有利于推导出深奥的难点和照亮黑暗的角落。

This is not to be wondered at, when we realize the influence of the Hermetic thought of the early philosophers of Greece, upon whose foundations of thought the theories of modern science largely rest.
当我们意识到赫尔墨斯心理对早期希腊哲学的影响，以及现代科学理论极大地建立在它的基础上，我们对这一点就毫不足奇了。

The acceptance of the First Hermetic Principle (Mentalism) is the only great point of difference between Modern Science and Hermetic students, and Science is gradually moving toward the Hermetic position in its groping in the dark for a way out of the Labyrinth into which it has wandered in its search for Reality.
对第一法则（精神法则）的接受只是赫尔墨斯学生与现代科学之间的一个极大的不同之处，科学正在黑暗中摸索而逐步移向赫尔墨斯学说的位置，以便走出一直在其中徘徊的迷宫，从而找到真理。

The purpose of this lesson is to impress upon the minds of our students the fact that, to all intents and purposes, the Universe and its laws, and its phenomena, are just as REAL, so far as Man is concerned, as they would be under the hypotheses of Materialism or Energism.
这节课的目的，是要给我们的学生大脑里留下这样的印象对所有的意图和目的来说，宇宙和它的法则，以及它的各种现象，确实象对人类所认为的那样真实，他们应当是处于唯物主义和能量主义的假设之下。

Under any hypothesis the Universe in its outer aspect is changing, ever-flowing, and transitory--and therefore devoid of substantiality and reality.
在任何假设之下，宇宙的外层领域都在变化、永远流动并且是短暂的——因此没有实体和真实性。

But (note the other pole of the truth) under the same hypotheses, we are compelled to ACT AND LIVE as if the fleeting things were real and substantial. With this difference, always, between the various hypotheses--that under the old views Mental Power was ignored as a Natural Force, while under Mentalism it becomes the Greatest Natural Force.
但（注意：真理的另一极性）在任何相同的假设之下，我们都必须行动和生活，好像流动的事物是真实和确定的。由于这样的不同，总是在不同的假设之间——在老观点之下，精神能量像自然的力量一样被忽视，但在精神法则之下，它成了最伟大的自然力量。

And this one difference revolutionizes Life, to those who understand the Principle and its resulting laws and practice.
对于领会这个法则及其卓有成效的实践的人来说，正是这一点不同使生命发生了革命性的变化。

So, finally, students all, grasp the advantage of Mentalism, and learn to know, use and apply the laws resulting therefrom.
因此，所有学生最后都领会精神法则的优势，并从此学着运用这些法则。

But do not yield to the temptation which, as The Kybalion states, overcomes the half-wise and which causes them to be hypnotized by the apparent unreality of things, the consequence being that they wander about like dream-people dwelling in a world of dreams, ignoring the practical work and life of man, the end being that "they are broken against the rocks and torn asunder by the elements, by reason of their folly."
但是不要屈从那些诱惑，正如Kybalion中所说的，要超越小智小慧，那会导致他们迷惑于事情非真实的显化上，那样的结果就是他们如同做梦者般活在梦中世界里，忽视人类实际的工作和生活，最终“因为他们自己的愚蠢，搬起石头，砸自己的脚。”

Rather follow the example of the wise, which the same authority states, "use Law against Laws; the higher against the lower; and by the Art of Alchemy transmute that which is undesirable into that which is worthy, and thus triumph."
故此，不如追随聪明人所树立的榜样，运用大法则抵制小法则用高级的抵制低级的并运用炼金术来把不想要的变成有价值的，进而获得成功。

Following the authority, let us avoid the half-wisdom (which is folly) which ignores the truth that: "Mastery consists not in abnormal dreams, visions, and fantastic imaginings or living, but in using the higher forces against the lower--escaping the pains of the lower planes by vibrating on the higher.
跟随权威，让我们牢记这样的事实：“成功不在于漫无边际的梦想、幻想和令人着迷的意象或生活。而在于利用较高的力量对抗较低的力量——在更高层面振动以避开较低层面的疼痛。”

" Remember always, student, that "Transmutation, not presumptuous denial, is the weapon of the Master." The above quotations are from The Kybalion, and are worthy of being committed to memory by the student.
学生们要永远记住：成功者的武器是转化，而不是自以为是地否定。以上引言来自Kybalion，值得学生们设法深深印记。

We do not live in a world of dreams, but in an Universe which while relative, is real so far as our lives and actions are concerned. Our business in the Universe is not to deny its existence, but to LIVE, using the Laws to rise from lower to higher--living on, doing the best that we can under the circumstances arising each day, and living, so far as is possible, to our biggest ideas and ideals.
就我们的生命和行动来说，我们不是生活在梦想的世界，而是在相对真实的宇宙中。我们在宇宙中的任务不是否定它的存在，而是生活，是运用法则而从更低的层面上升到更高的层面——持续生活，在每天出现的环境下做到我们所能做到的最好程度，直到我们可能达到的最伟大的思想和理想。

The true Meaning of Life is not known to men on this plane .if, indeed, to any--but the highest authorities, and our own intuitions, teach us that we will make no mistake in living up to the best that is in us, so far as is possible, and realising the Universal tendency in the same direction in spite of apparent evidence to the contrary.

We are all on The Path--and the road leads upward ever, with frequent resting places.

在这个层面上，人们不懂得生活的真正意义——真的，任何人都不懂——但最高的权威，或我们的直觉告诉我们，我们将不会在上升到我们所能到达的最高的境界中犯错误，并意识到无论出现多少明显相反的证据，宇宙趋势都与我们在同一方向上。
我们全都在路上——这条路永远向上，并时常有可以停靠的地方。

Read the message of The Kybalion
--and follow the example of "the wise"-
-avoiding the mistake of "the half-wise" who perish by reason of their folly.

要读懂Kybalion的信息：
——跟随“智者”的榜样
——避免“小智小慧”的错误，他们因为愚蠢而枯萎。

Absolute Truth has been defined as "Things as the mind of God knows them," while Relative Truth is "Things as the highest reason of Man understands them."
绝对性的真理被定义为“那些只有上帝的思想知晓的事情”，而相对性的真理是“那些人类最高理性可以理解的事情”。

And so while to THE ALL the Universe must be unreal and illusionary, a mere dream or result of meditation,
因此，对于全能者，宇宙一定是不真实和虚幻的，只是一个梦或冥想的结果

--nevertheless, to the finite minds forming a part of that Universe, and viewing it through mortal faculties, the Universe is very real indeed, and must be so considered.
——然而，对于构成的宇宙的一部分，并且通过凡人的天赋去观看的有限的思想，这个宇宙是非常真实和确定的。

In recognizing the Absolute view, we must not make the mistake of ignoring or denying the facts and phenomena of the Universe as they present themselves to our mortal faculties--we are not THE ALL, remember.
在承认绝对论的观点时，我们不要犯了这样的错误，即忽略或否认宇宙的事实和现象，正如它们向我们普通人所呈现的那样——记住，我们不是全能者。

To take familiar illustrations, we all recognize the fact that matter "exists" to our senses--we will fare badly if we do not.
举大家熟知的实例，我们都承认物质是相对于我们的感觉而存在的事实，如果我们不这样，我们的遭遇就不好。

And yet, even our finite minds understand the scientific dictum that there is no such thing as Matter from a scientific point of view--that which we call Matter is held to be merely an aggregation of atoms, which atoms themselves are merely a grouping of units of force, called electrons or "ions," vibrating and in constant circular motion.
然而，即使我们有限的心理能够领会科学的宣言——从科学的观点看，没有像物质这样的东西——我们所说的物质只是作为原子的集合体而维持着，原子自身也只是能量单位的组群，称为电子或离子，它们振动着，并处于永恒的循环运动中。

We kick a stone and we feel the impact--it seems to be real, notwithstanding that we know it to be merely what we have stated above.
我们踢一块石头，然后我们感觉到碰撞——它似乎是真实的，尽管我们知道它只是像我们以上所说的那样。

But remember that our foot, which feels the impact by means of our brains, is likewise Matter, so constituted of electrons, and for that matter so are our brains. And, at the best, if it were not by reason of our Mind, we would not know the foot or stone at all.
但记住，借助大脑而感觉到碰撞的我们的脚，也是物质，因此也由电子组成。最主要的是，如果不是由于我们的大脑，我们根本不会认识到脚或石头。

Then again, the ideal of the artist or sculptor, which he is endeavoring to reproduce in stone or on canvas, seems very real to him.
再比如说，艺术家或雕塑家想方设法在石头或帆布上再现的理想，对他来说是非常真实的。
So do the characters in the mind of the author; or dramatist, which he seeks to express so that others may recognize them.
作家或戏剧家心里的人物形象也是如此，他试图表达出来，以使其他人认识它们。

And if this be true in the case of our finite minds, what must be the degree of Reality in the Mental Images created in the Mind of the Infinite?
如果就我们的有限的思想来说，这是真实的，那么什么才会是在无限思想里，精神图像创化的真实等级哪？

Oh, friends, to mortals this Universe of Mentality is very real indeed--it is the only one we can ever know, though we rise from plane to plane, higher and higher in it.
啊，朋友们，对于凡人们，这个精神宇宙是非常真实的——它是我们永远能够知道的唯一一点，尽管我们在它之内，从一个层面上升到又一个层面，越来越高。
To know it otherwise, but actual experience, we must be THE ALL itself. It is true that the higher we rise in the scale--the nearer to "the mind of the Father" we reach--the more apparent becomes the illusory nature of finite things, but not until THE ALL finally withdraws us into itself does the vision actually vanish.
为了通过确切体验来认识它的其他方面，我们必须是全能者本身。我们越是上升到更高的层面——越是接近造物主的思想，有限事物的虚幻特征就越明显，这是真的。但只有到全能者撤离我们而回到它自身，虚幻才会消失。

So, we need not dwell upon the feature of illusion. Rather let us, recognizing the real nature of the Universe, seek to understand its mental laws, and endeavor to use them to the best effect in our upward progress through life, as we travel from plane to plane of being. The Laws of the Universe are none the less "Iron Laws" because of the mental nature.
因此，我们不必老想着虚幻的特征。不如让我们来认识宇宙真实的特性，设法领会它的精神法则，在生命的向上进步中努力运用它们达到最好的效果，以便从一种生存层级迈向另一层级。宇宙法则不会因为其精神特性而不是铁则。

All, except THE ALL, are bound by them. What is IN THE INFINITE MIND OF THE ALL is REAL in a degree second only to that Reality itself which is vested in the nature of THE ALL.
除了全能者之外，一切都受其制约。在全能者无限思想中是真实的一切，在层级上仅次于全能者本质所授予的真实本身。而那个真实性属于全能者的性质。

So, do not feel insecure or afraid--we are all HELD FIRMLY IN THE INFINITE MIND OF THE ALL, and there is naught to hurt us or for us to fear. There is no Power outside of THE ALL to affect us. So we may rest calm and secure.
所以，不要感觉不安或恐惧——我们所有人都牢牢根植于全能者的无限思想中，没有什么伤害我们或使我们害怕的。没有什么外在于全能者而影响我们。因此，我们可以平静和安全地生存。

There is a world of comfort and security in this realization when once attained. Then "calm and peaceful do we sleep, rocked in the Cradle of the Deep"--resting safely on the bosom of the Ocean of Infinite Mind, which is THE ALL.
In THE ALL, indeed, do "we live and move and have our being."
一旦明白这一点，我们就会有一个舒适和安泰的世界。然后，我们平静而安详地入睡，在深深的摇篮里轻轻摇摆。在无限思想的海洋怀抱中安然歇息，它就是全能者。
真的，在全能者中，我们生活、进步，并存在。

Matter is none the less Matter to us, while we dwell on the plane of Matter, although we know it to be merely an aggregation of "electrons," or particles of Force, vibrating rapidly and gyrating around each other in the formations of atoms; the atoms in turn vibrating and gyrating, forming molecules, which latter in turn form larger masses of Matter.
当我们停留在物质的层面上时，物质永远是物质，尽管我们知道，它只是电子的集合体或能量微粒，它们高速振动，并以原子的形态相互围绕着旋转。这些原子依次振动和旋转，从而形成分子，随后形成更大的物质团。

Nor does Matter become less Matter, when we follow the inquiry still further,
当我们顺着这个探索下去，物质必定永远成为物质。

and learn from the Hermetic Teachings, that the "Force" of which the electrons are but units is merely a manifestation of the Mind of THE ALL, and like all else in the Universe is purely Mental in its nature.
更进一步地，我们从赫尔墨斯神秘学说中学到，这些能量微粒只是全能者思想的显化，就像宇宙中的其他物质一样，在本质上纯粹是精神的。

While on the Plane of matter, we must recognize its phenomena-- we may control Matter (as all Masters of higher or lesser degree do), but we do so by applying the higher forces.
在物质的层面上，我们要认识到它的现象
——我们可以控制物质（如级别或高或低的大师们所做的一样），但我们要这么做，必须运用更高的力量。

We commit a folly when we attempt to deny the existence of Matter in the relative aspect.
当我们在相对层面上否定物质的存在时，我们就犯了愚蠢的错误。

We may deny its mastery over us--and rightly so--but we should not attempt to ignore it in its relative aspect, at least so long as we dwell upon its plane.
我们可以否认它控制着我们——恰恰如此——，我们不应该在它的相对面上试图忽略它。

Nor do the Laws of Nature become less constant or effective, when we know them, likewise, to be merely mental creations. They are in full effect on the various planes. We overcome the lower laws, by applying still higher ones--and in this way only.
自然法则永远如一或生效，当我们了解它们时，同样的，它们只是精神的创造物。它们在各个层面上完全有效。我们通过运用更高级的法则来控制更低级的法则——这是唯一的方式。

But we cannot escape Law or rise above it entirely. Nothing but THE ALL can escape Law--and that because THE ALL is LAW itself, from which all Laws emerge.
我们不能逃避法则或完全超越它。除了全能者，没有什么可以逃避法则——因为全能者是法则自身，所有的法则都从它那里产生。

The most advanced Masters may acquire the powers usually attributed to the gods of men; and there are countless ranks of being, in the great hierarchy of life, whose being and power transcends even that of the highest Masters among men to a degree unthinkable by mortals, but even the highest Master, and the highest Being, must bow to the Law, and be as Nothing in the eye of THE ALL.
最高超的大师可以获得通常属于人类之神的力量；宇宙有无数的存在等级，在占统治层级的生命中，其性质和能量甚至超过人类中最优秀的大师而达到常人难以想象的程度，但是，即使最高级的大师和最高级的生命，也必须服从于法则，而且在全能者的眼里，他们什么也不是。

So that if even these highest Beings, whose powers exceed even those attributed by men to their gods--if even these are bound by and are subservient to Law, then imagine the presumption of mortal man, of our race and grade, when he dares to consider the Laws of Nature as "unreal!" visionary and illusory, because he happens to be able to grasp the truth that the Laws are Mental in nature, and simply Mental Creations of THE ALL.
因此，即使这些最高级的生命，其能量超过那些属于人类并成为他们的神——即使这些生命也受限和屈从于法则，那么，设想一下普通人和我们的同类的自以为是，他竟敢于把自然法则视为不真实的、虚幻的、不实际的，因为他碰巧能够会法则在本质上是精神的，仅仅是全能者的精神产物的事实。

Those Laws which THE ALL intends to be governing Laws are not to be defied or argued away. So long as the Universe endures, will they endure
--for the Universe exists by virtue of these Laws which form its framework and which hold it together.
那些全能者有意使之成为统治的法则不容抵制或辩驳。只要宇宙继续存在，它们就继续存在
——因为宇宙的存在要靠这些法则构成它的框架，并把它维系起来。

第三章精神转化

"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. True Hermetic Transmutation
is a Mental Art."--The Kybalion.
思想（就像金属和元素一样）是可以转化的，从一种状态到另一种状态；从一种层级到另一种层级；从一种境界到另一种境界；从一种极性到另一种极性；从一种波到另一种波。真正的赫尔墨斯转化是一种精神艺术。
——Kybalion

As we have stated, the Hermetists were the original alchemists, astrologers, and psychologists, Hermes having been the founder of these schools of thought.
正如我们已经说过的，赫尔墨斯主义者是最原始的炼金术士、占星学家和心理学家，赫尔墨斯一直是这些心理学派的奠基人。

From astrology has grown modern astronomy; from alchemy has grown modern chemistry; from the mystic psychology has grown the modern psychology of the schools.
从占星学演变出现代天文学；从炼金术演变出现代化学；从神秘心理学演变出现代各个学派的心理学。
But it must not be supposed that the ancients were ignorant of that which the modern schools suppose to be their exclusive and special property.
但不要认为古人对那些现代学派们认为是他们专有和独特的知识财产很无知。

The records engraved on the stones of Ancient Egypt show conclusively that the ancients had a full comprehensive knowledge of astronomy, the very building of the Pyramids showing the connection between their design and the study of astronomical science.
雕刻在古埃及石头上的记录极具说服力地显示，古人具备完整的天文学知识，恰恰是非凡的埃及金字塔的建筑证实了他们的设计和天文科学研究之间的联系。

Nor were they ignorant of Chemistry, for the fragments of the ancient writings show that they were acquainted with the chemical properties of things;
他们也不是对化学无知，因为古代的书面残片显示，他们知晓事物的化学特性

in fact, the ancient theories regarding physics are being slowly verified by the latest discoveries of modern science, notably those relating to the constitution of matter.
——事实上，古代关于物理的理论正逐渐被现代科学的最新发现所证实，特别是那些有关物质构成的。

Nor must it be supposed that they were ignorant of the so-called modern discoveries in psychology
也不要认为他们对所谓的现代心理学上的发现非常无知

--on the contrary, the Egyptians were especially skilled in the science of Psychology, particularly in the branches that the modern schools ignore, but which, nevertheless, are being uncovered under the name of "psychic science" which is perplexing the psychologists of to-day, and making them reluctantly admit that "there may be something in it after all."
——相反，古埃及人尤其擅长心理学，特别是那些现代学派忽略的分支，然而，这些正在心灵科学的名义下得到揭示，而这些正困惑着今天的心理学家，并且迫使他们不情愿地承认终究，或许有一些东西在它里面。

The truth is, that beneath the material chemistry, astronomy and psychology (that is, the psychology in its phase of "brain-action") the ancients possessed a knowledge of transcendental astronomy, called astrology; of transcendental chemistry, called alchemy; of transcendental psychology, called mystic psychology.
事实是，在物质性的化学、天文学和心理学（心理学处于脑行为阶段）之下，古人还具有超越人类智慧的天文学，称为占星学；超越人类智慧的化学，称为炼金术；超越人类智慧的心理学，称为秘密心理学。

They possessed the Inner Knowledge as well as the Outer Knowledge, the latter alone being possessed by modern scientists.
他们同时具有内在的知识和外在的知识，而现代科学家只具有后者。

Among the many secret branches of knowledge possessed by the Hermetists, was that known as Mental Transmutation, which forms the subject matter of this lesson.
在赫尔墨斯主义者掌握的许多秘密分支中，就有人们所知道的精神转化，它构成了这一节课的主要内容。

"Transmutation" is a term usually employed to designate the ancient art of the transmutation of metals--particularly of the base metals into gold.
转化是一个经常用来说明古代关于金属转化技艺的词语——尤其是把基本金属转化为纯金。

The word "Transmute" means "to change from one nature, form, or substance, into another; to transform" (Webster).
转化的词意是从一种性质、形式或物质转变为另一种；使改变。
And accordingly, "Mental Transmutation" means the art of changing and transforming mental states, forms, and conditions, into others.
相应地，精神转化意思是改变和转化精神状态、形式和境况，使之成为另一种精神状态、形式和境况的艺术。

So you may see that Mental Transmutation is the "Art of Mental Chemistry," if you like the term--a form of practical Mystic Psychology.
因此，你会明白精神转化是精神化学的艺术，如果你喜欢这个词——实用的神秘心理学的一种。

But this means far more than appears on the surface.
但是，这个词的内涵远远超出表面显现的。

Transmutation, Alchemy, or Chemistry on the Mental Plane is important enough in its effects, to be sure, and if the art stopped there it would still be one of the most important branches of study known to man.
思想层面上的转化、炼金术或化学的作用十分十分地重要，可以确信，即使这种方法、艺术已经停止或中断，它依然是人类所知的最重要的一个研究分支。

But this is only the beginning. Let us see why!
然而，这种研究仅仅是一个开始。让我们看为什么！

The first of the Seven Hermetic Principles is the Principle of Mentalism, the axiom of which is "THE ALL is Mind; the Universe is Mental,"
七项神秘法则的第一项是精神法则，箴言说：全能者是思想，宇宙是精神，

which means that the Underlying Reality of the Universe is Mind; and the Universe itself is Mental--that is, "existing in the Mind of THE ALL."
这就是说隐藏在宇宙事实下面的实质是思想。还有宇宙自身是精神——那就是，一切都存在于全能者的思想中。

We shall consider this Principle in succeeding lessons, but let us see the effect of the principle if it be assumed to be true.
在接下来的课程中，我们将仔细讲解这个法则，但如果这个法则被假定是正确的，让我们看看它的效应。

If the Universe is Mental in its nature, then Mental Transmutation must be the art of CHANGING THE CONDITIONS OF THE UNIVERSE, along the lines of Matter, Force and mind. So you see, therefore, that Mental Transmutation is really the "Magic" of which the ancient; writers had so much to say in their mystical works, and about which they gave so few practical instructions.
如果宇宙在本质上是精神，那么精神转化一定是沿着物质、力量和思想的路线改变宇宙境况的艺术。因此，你会明白，精神转化是古代作家在他们神秘的作品中大量论及的、真正的魔法，而其中给予的实际指导却又是那么少。

If All be Mental, then the art which enables one to transmute mental conditions must render the Master the controller of material conditions as well as those ordinarily called "mental."
如果一切都是精神，那么能使一个人转化思想状态的方法或艺术，一定使得大师可以控制物质状态，就像控制通常所说的精神一样。

As a matter of fact, none but advanced Mental Alchemists have been able to attain the degree of power necessary to control the grosser physical conditions,
可事实上，没有人而只有高超的精神大师，能够获得必要层级的能量来控制更为原始的物理状况，

such as the control of the elements of Nature; the production or cessation of tempests; the production and cessation of earthquakes and other great physical phenomena.
例如：控制自然元素；暴风雨的形成和停止；地震的产生和停止；还有其他大规模的物理现象。

But that such men have existed, and do exist today, is a matter of earnest belief to all advanced occultists of all schools.
但是，这样的人曾有过，而且今天确实有，这是所有学派中所有高超的神秘主义者都真诚相信的一件事情。

That the Masters exist, and have these powers, the best teachers assure their students, having had experiences which justify them in such belief and statements.
这样的大师存在，而且具有这些能量，最优秀的老师向他们的学生保证——已经有经验事实证明他们相信这样的信念和主张是有根据的。

These Masters do not make public exhibitions of their powers, but seek seclusion from the crowds of men, in order to better work their may along the Path of Attainment.
这些大师没有公开展示他们的能量，而是远离喧闹的人群去隐居，是为了更好地沿着通达之路进行他们的修炼。

We mention their existence, at this point, merely to call your attention to the fact that their power is entirely Mental, and operates along the lines of the higher Mental Transmutation, under the Hermetic Principle of Mentalism.
我们提及他们的存在，在这一点上，只是为了激发你关注这样的事实，即他们的能量完全是精神的，而且是在神秘的精神法则的指引下沿着更高层级的精神转化运行。

"The Universe is Mental"--The Kybalion.
宇宙是精神--The Kybalion

But students and Hermetists of lesser degree than Masters--the Initiates and Teachers--are able to freely work along the Mental Plane, in Mental Transmutation.
但是，学生们和比大师们（启蒙者和老师们）层级更低的赫尔墨斯主义者一样能够在精神转化上自由地沿着精神层面来运作。

In fact all that we call "psychic phenomena,"; "mental influence"; "mental science"; "new-thought phenomena," etc., operates along the same general lines, for there is but one principle involved, no matter by what name the phenomena be called.
实际上，所有我们所说的心灵现象、精神影响、精神科学、新思想奇迹等等，都是按照相同的总体路径来运行的，因为只涉及一项法则，而无论这些现象被叫什么名称。

The student and practitioner of Mental Transmutation works among the Mental Plane, transmuting mental conditions, states, etc., into others, according to various formulas, more or less efficacious.
精神转化的学生和从业者根据不同的准则在精神层面中运作，把一种精神状态、倾向转变为另一种，或多或少是灵验的。

The various "treatments," "affirmations," "denials" etc., of the schools of mental science are but formulas, often quite imperfect and unscientific, of The Hermetic Art.
精神科学各学派不同的疗法、肯定、否定等等，都只是赫尔墨斯艺术的准则，通常很不完善，也不科学。

The majority of modern practitioners are quite ignorant compared to the ancient masters, for they lack the fundamental knowledge upon which the work is based.
与古代大师们相比，大多数现代从业者是相当无知的，因为他们缺乏这项工作建立于其上的基本知识。

Not only may the mental states, etc., of one's self be changed or transmuted by Hermetic Methods; but also the states of others may be, and are, constantly transmuted in the same way, usually unconsciously,
不仅一个人自身的精神状态可以通过赫尔墨斯的方法而发生改变或转化，而且别人的心理状态也可以以相同的方式发生改变或转化，通常是无意识的，

but often consciously by some understanding the laws and principles, in cases where the people affected are not informed of the principles of self-protection.
但一些领会这些法则和法则的人经常可以有意识地转化，只要受影响的人不是充满自我防卫意识。

And more than this, as many students and practitioners of modern mental science know, every material condition depending upon the minds of other people may be changed or transmuted in accordance with the earnest desire, will, and "treatments" of person desiring changed conditions of life.
不但如此，就像现代精神科学的许多学生和从业者所知道的，依赖于其它人思想的每一种物质条件，可以按照渴望改变生活条件的人真诚热切的欲望、意志和态度而发生改变或转化。

The public are so generally informed regarding these things at present, that we do not deem it necessary to mention the same at length, our purpose at this point being merely to show the Hermetic Principle and Art underlying all of these various forms of practice, good and evil, for the force can be used in opposite directions according to the Hermetic Principles of Polarity.
目前，公众经常被告知有关这些事情，因此，我们不认为有必要详尽地提及相同的内容，在这一点上，我们的目的只是说明潜藏于不同实际操练形式之下的赫尔墨斯法则和艺术，也不论其好坏，因为根据赫尔墨斯极性法则，力量可以应用在相反的方向上。

In this little book we shall state the basic principles of Mental Transmutation, that all who read may grasp the Underlying Principles, and thus possess the Master-Key that will unlock the many doors of the Principle of Polarity.
在这本小书中，我们将讲述精神转化的基础法则，以使所有读它的人可以掌握这些隐藏的法则，因而拥有打开极性法则许多大门的万能钥匙。

We shall now proceed to a consideration of the first of the Hermetic Seven Principles--the Principle of Mentalism, in which is explained the truth that "THE ALL is Mind; the Universe is Mental," in the words of The Kybalion.
现在我们将继续解说赫尔墨斯七项法则的第一项——精神法则，它解释了这个真理——全能者是思想；宇宙是精神。

We ask the close attention, and careful study of this great Principle, on the part of our students, for it is really the Basic Principle of the whole Hermetic Philosophy, and of the Hermetic Art of Mental Transmutation.
就我们的学生而言，我们要求他们密切关注和仔细研究这项伟大的法则，因为它确实是整个赫尔墨斯哲学和赫尔墨斯精神转化艺术的基本法则。

4. The Principle of Polarity
IV.极性法则

"Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its
pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are
identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet;
all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be
reconciled."--The Kybalion.
所有事物都是双重的；所有事物都有两极；所有事物都有相互对立的两面；喜欢和不喜欢是一样的；对立的事物本质上是一模一样的，只是在程度上有所不同；极端的两面总是相连；所有的真理都只是相对正确的真理；所有看似矛盾的说法都可以调和。
——Kybalion

This Principle embodies the truth that "everything is dual";
"everything has two poles"; "everything has its pair of opposites,
" all of which were old Hermetic axioms.
这个法则包含了这样的真理，即:每一种事物都是双重的；每一种事物都有两极；每一种事物都有相互对立的两面。这些都是古老的赫尔墨斯公理。

It explains the old paradoxes, that have perplexed so many, which have been stated as follows:
它解释了自古以来困惑许多人的自相矛盾的观点，它们如下所述：

"Thesis and antithesis are identical in nature, but different in degree"; "opposites are the same, differing only in degree";
"the pairs of opposites may be reconciled";
"extremes meet";
"everything is and isn't, at the same time";
"all truths are but half-truths";
"every truth is half-false";
"there are two sides to everything,"
etc., etc., etc.
“主张女权和反对女权的人在本质上是一样的，但不同在于程度上”；

“对立的事物本质上是一模一样的，只是在程度上有所不同”；

“对立的两面可以调和”；

“极端的两面总是相连”；

“每一种事物都同时存在肯定和否定的方面”；

“所有的真理都只是一半正确的真理”；

“每一种真理都有一半是错误的”；

“凡事都有两面性”，等等。

It explains that in everything there are two poles, or opposite aspects, and that "opposites" are really only the two extremes of the same thing, with many varying degrees between them.
它揭示了在每一事物中都有两极，或相互对立的两面，而这相互对立的两面其实只是同一事物的两个极端，在它们之间有各种不同的程度，

To illustrate: Heat and Cold, although "opposites," are really the same thing, the differences consisting merely of degrees of the same thing.
例如：热和冷，虽然是“对立”的，但事实上是同一事物，不同只在于同一事物的不同程度。

Look at your thermometer and see if you can discover where "heat" terminates and "cold" begins!
看看你的温度计，是否发现“热”的终点就是“冷”的开始！

There is no such thing as "absolute heat" or "absolute cold"--the two terms "heat" and "cold" simply indicate varying degrees of the same thing, and that "same thing" which manifests as "heat" and "cold" is merely a form, variety, and rate of Vibration.
没有绝对的“热”和绝对的“冷”这样的事物——“热”和“冷”这两个词只是反映了同一事物的不同程度，而“同一事物”显化为“热”和“冷”只是振动频率的变化形式。

So "heat" and "cold" are simply the "two poles" of that which we call "Heat"--and the phenomena attendant thereupon are manifestations of the Principle of Polarity.
因此，“热”和“冷”只是我们称之为“热”的事物的“两极”——这种现象伴随着的是极性法则的显现。

The same Principle manifests in the case of "Light and Darkness," which are the same thing, the difference consisting of varying degrees between the two poles of the phenomena.
同样的法则显化在“光明和黑暗”的事例中，它们是同一事物，不同只在于现象两极之间的不同程度。

Where does "darkness" leave off, and "light" begin?
What is the difference
between "Large and Small"?
Between "Hard and Soft"?
Between "Black and White"?
Between "Sharp and Dull"?
Between "Noise and Quiet"?
Between "High and Low"?
Between "Positive and Negative"?
“黑暗”在哪里离去，“光明”又在哪里开始？
“大和小”之间的区别是什么？
“硬和软”之间呢？
“黑和白”之间呢？
“灵光和呆钝”之间呢？
“吵闹和安静”之间呢？
“高和低”之间呢？
“积极和消极”之间呢？

The Principle of Polarity explains these paradoxes, and no other Principle can supersede it. The same Principle operates on the Mental Plane.
极性法则解释这些看似矛盾的对立面，没有其他的法则可以超越它。相同的法则也在思想层面运行。

Let us take a radical and extreme example--that of "Love and Hate," two mental states apparently totally different.
让我们举一个激进和极端的例子，那就是“爱和恨”这两种明显不同的心理状态。

And yet there are degrees of Hate and degrees of Love, and a middle point in which we use the terms "Like or Dislike," which shade into each other so gradually that sometimes we are at a loss to know whether we "like" or "dislike" or "neither."

然而，有各种不同程度的爱和各种不同程度的恨，一个中间的状态就是我们用“喜欢和不喜欢”这样的词汇所表达的，它们彼此渗透相随，以致有时我们感到迷失，即不知道我们“喜欢”或“不喜欢”或“两者都没有”。

And all are simply degrees of the same thing, as you will see if you will but think a moment.
一切都只是同一事物的不同程度，如果你稍微细想一会儿，就会明白这个道理。

And, more than this (and considered of more importance by the Hermetists), it is possible to change the vibrations of Hate to the vibrations of Love, in one's own mind, and in the minds of others.
而且，不仅如此（赫尔墨斯主义者认为更重要），更重要的是，改变一个人自己思想和他人思想中恨的振动为爱的振动是可能的。

Many of you, who read these lines, have had personal experiences of the involuntary rapid transition from Love to Hate, and the reverse, in your own case and that of others.
已经读到这些字眼的、你们中的许多人，已有自觉迅速地由爱转变到恨的亲身体验，或许是你们自己的事例，或许是其他人的。

And you will therefore realize the possibility of this being accomplished by the use of the Will, by means of the Hermetic formulas.

因此，通过赫尔墨斯的准则与方法，你将会意识到运用意志完成这一点是可能的。

"Good and Evil" are but the poles of the same thing, and the Hermetist understands the art of transmuting Evil into Good, by means of an application of the Principle of Polarity.
“好”和“坏”只是同一事物的两极，借助极性法则的应用方式，赫尔墨斯主义者懂得转坏为好的艺术。

In short, the "Art of Polarization" becomes a phase of "Mental Alchemy" known and practiced by the ancient and modern Hermetic Masters.
简而言之，“极性化艺术”成为古代和现代神秘大师所知道和应用的精神炼金术的一部分。
An understanding of the Principle will enable one to change his own Polarity, as well as that of others, if he will devote the time and study necessary to master the art.
对这一法则的理解，将能使一个人改变他自己的极性，也能改变他人的极性，如果他投入时间进行必要的研究来掌握这一艺术的话。

5. The Principle of Rhythm
V.节律法则

"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

This Principle embodies the truth that in everything there is manifested a measured motion, to and fro; a flow and inflow; a swing backward and forward; a pendulum-like movement; a tide-like ebb and flow; a high-tide and low-tide;
这个法则包括了这样的真理，即在每一种事物中，都存在着有节律的运动：前进和后退；流出和流进；前摆和后摆；像钟摆那样的运动；像潮汐那样退潮又涨潮；有高潮也有低潮。

between the two poles which exist in accordance with the Principle of Polarity described a moment ago.
在两极之间，也存在着与刚才阐述的极性法则相一致的律动。

There is always an action and a reaction; an advance and a retreat; a rising and a sinking.
总是有着作用和反作用，有前进就必然有后退，有高涨就必然有低落。

This is in the affairs of the Universe, suns, worlds, men, animals, mind, energy, and matter.
这种现象存在于宇宙万事万物中，如太阳、地球、人类、动物、心理、能量和物质。

This law is manifest in the creation and destruction of worlds; in the rise and fall of nations; in the life of all things; and finally in the mental states of Man (and it is with this latter that the Hermetists find the understanding of the Principle most important).
这种法则显化于世间万物的创造和毁灭之中，显化于民族的崛起和没落之中;显化于一切事物的生命过程之中最后，还显化于人类的精神状态之中（正是在后者，赫尔墨斯主义者发现并领悟到这个法则极其重要）。

The Hermetists have grasped this Principle, finding its universal application, and have also discovered certain means to overcome its effects in themselves by the use of the appropriate formulas and methods.
赫尔墨斯主义者已经领会这个法则，发现它普遍适用，也发现通过运用适当的准则和方法可以克服这种法则在他们身上产生的效应。

They apply the Mental Law of Neutralization. They cannot annul the Principle, or cause it to cease its operation, but they have learned how to escape its effects upon themselves to a certain degree depending upon the Mastery of the Principle.
他们应用这种中和化的精神法则。他们不能消除这种法则，或使它停止运行，但他们已学会依靠这种法则而避开它发生在他们身上的影响，然后达到某种层级。

They have learned how to USE it, instead of being USED BY it. In this and similar methods, consist the Art of the Hermetists.
他们已学会应用它，而不是被它应用。正是这种方法或类似的方法，构成了赫尔墨斯主义者的艺术。

The Master of Hermetics polarizes himself at the point at which he desires to rest, and then neutralizes the Rhythmic swing of the pendulum which would tend to carry him to the other pole.
赫尔墨斯主义大师使自己偏向于他们想要保持的那一极的状态上，而中和或抵消促使他们倾向另一极状态的像钟摆那样的律动。

All individuals who have attained any degree of Self-Mastery do this to a certain degree, more or less unconsciously, but the Master does this consciously, and by the use of his Will, and attains a degree of Poise and Mental Firmness almost impossible of belief on the part of the masses who are swung backward and forward like a pendulum.
所有做到一定程度自我控制的个体，都或多或少无意识地在一定程度上这么做过，但是大师是有意识地做，而且通过运用意志，他获得一定层级的平静和精神镇定，而就那些像钟摆一样前后摆动的普通大众来说，达到大师这种状态是不可能的。

This Principle and that of Polarity have been closely studied by the Hermetists, and the methods of counteracting, neutralizing, and USING them form an important part of the Hermetic Mental Alchemy.
这个法则和极性法则已经被赫尔墨斯主义者密切研究，而抵消、中和的方法以及应用它们，则构成了赫尔墨斯精神炼金术的一个重要部分。

第二章七个赫尔墨斯法则

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

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

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

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

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

1. The Principle of Mentalism
I.精神法则

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2. The Principle of Correspondence
II.一致法则

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. The Principle of Vibration
III.振动法则

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

这些人奉献他们的生命到爱的工作上，这首诗篇以这样的诗句开始：

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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