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
