Walk in the light and never be afraid to let the light of truth be beamed fully on you. When you have nothing to hide, nothing to be ashamed of, you are as free as a very small child who has no inhibitions and expresses itself with real joy. It bubbles over with joy, and that joy is infectious, radiating to all who come into contact with it. Joy cannot be hidden or contained. It reveals itself in a hundred and one ways: in a look, a word, an expression. Joy draws people to it, for everyone responds to joyous, happy souls and enjoys being in their company. Joy draws souls to it like steel to a magnet, whereas misery and negativity repel. When you know you are doing the right thing and are in the right place, you radiate joy and freedom. Everything flows smoothly for you and falls into its rightful place. You draw the very best to you; you cannot help doing so, for like attracts like.

　　在光明中行走，並永遠不要害怕讓真理的光芒完全照射在我身上。當我沒有任何需要掩蓋的事情，沒有任何感到羞愧的事情時，我就如同一個幼小的孩童一樣自由，她／他沒有任何壓抑，而是帶著真正的愉悅表達她／他自己。她／他的愉悅都滿溢了出來，那愉悅是極具感染力的，會傳播給所有與之接觸的人們。愉悅無法被隱藏或儲存起來。它通過百千種方式展現它自己；通過一個眼神、一個詞語、一個表達。

　　愉悅吸引人們過來，因為每一個人都會回應愉悅的、快樂的靈魂，並享受有他們的陪伴。愉悅對靈魂的吸引就像是鋼鐵對磁鐵的吸引一樣，而消極與痛苦則會抵制。當我知道我在對的地方做著對的事情時，我便在傳播愉悅與自由。每一件事情都會流暢地為我流動起來，進入它正確的位置。我將最好的吸引過來；我無法不這樣去做，因為物以類聚。
