NEVER be wholly satisfied with your outlook on life. There is always something new and exciting to learn about, and you can only hope to do it if you keep open and sensitive to all that is taking place. The very new is not always easy to understand. Do not allow it to concern you, but be willing to accept it in faith, and know that your understanding will grow as you do so. You will know by that deep inner knowing whether these new ideas, new ways and new thoughts are of the truth or not. If you get that deep feeling of rightness, allow yourself to absorb these truths even if you do not understand them fully. Gradually the light will dawn, and you will awaken to the meaning of it all. You cannot go on for the rest of your life in the same old way. You must be willing to branch out into something new.
永遠不要完全地犧牲掉我對生活的展望。總是會有新的讓人激動的東西去學習,而只有當我保持對一切所發生的敞開與敏感時,才能希望做到這一點。最新的通常不是很容易被理解。不要讓這困擾我,而是願意在信念中接納它,同時知道我的理解會增加隨著我這樣去做。我會知曉,通過那內在深處的認知,這些新的想法、方式與思維是否來自於真理。
如果我有了正確的感覺,允許我自己去吸收那些真理,即使我還並不能夠完全理解他們。逐漸的,曙光會顯現,而我對這一切的含義(的理解)會蘇醒。我不能繼續舊有的模式,去度過我的餘生。我一定得願意擴展到新事物中去。
