Without faith you cannot travel this spiritual path. Without trust there is no love; and without love life is empty. Open your heart and keep the love flowing, no matter how difficult life may appear to be on the surface. Rise above your outer conditions and circumstances into those realms where all is light, all is peace, all is perfection, and there is no separation. You have to make the choice to do it, and then you have to do it. Allow nothing from without to depress you. See that glorious silver lining behind every dark cloud, and concentrate on it until the cloud is no more. Learn to soar like a lark, up, up into the heights, singing songs of praise and thanksgiving. Be not anchored to the ways of the world, to the materialism in life. It is the ways of the Spirit that matter. Start right now to live by the Spirit and walk in the ways of the Spirit.

　　若沒有信念我就無法進行這段靈性的旅程。沒有信任就沒有愛；而沒有愛，生命就是空洞的。敞開我的內心，讓愛保持流動，無論表面上生活可能多麼得困難。超越我的外在狀態和環境，進入一切都是光，一切都是寧靜，一切都是完美的領域，在那兒沒有隔離。我必須得做出去做到這一點的選擇，然後去做到它。

　　不要允許任何外在的事物讓我失去信心。總是看到黑暗中那榮耀的曙光，並一直專心於它直到黑暗消失。學習像雲雀一樣高飛，往上，再往上，飛上高空，唱著讚美與感恩之歌。不要被俗世的方式和生活中的唯物主義給固化。靈性的方式才是真正重要的。從現在開始以靈性而生，行在靈性的道上。
