There is no need for suffering in the New Age. For those souls who are moving into the new, suffering is no more. If you still feel that suffering is necessary, you are not of the new, but are firmly stuck in the old. There you will remain, drawing suffering to yourself until of your own free will you move on and accept that it is no more. Concentrate on the wonders and joys of this life, and accept the very best which is your true heritage. It is not being an ostrich, afraid of life and not facing it. It is seeing the reality of this glorious life which is yours and, in doing so, helping to bring it about. The more clearly you can see it, the more quickly will it come about. Accept the vision of the new heaven and new earth, and hold it ever in your consciousness, for it is no unattainable dream. It is reality, and you are part of it.

　　在新時代是沒有受苦的必要的。對於那些進入新時代的靈魂們而言，受苦已經不復存在了。如果我仍然感到受苦是必須的，我就不是新事物的一部分，而是牢固地卡在舊事物中。在那兒我會停滯不前，將苦難吸引過來，直到出於我自己自由的意志，我才會繼續前進，接納它已經沒有了。

　　將注意力集中在這生活的奇蹟與愉悅上面，並接納最好的那些，它們才是我真正的繼承物。那不是當一隻鴕鳥，害怕生活，不去面對它。而是看到這榮耀生活的現實性，並在這樣做時，幫助去實現它。我越能清晰地看見它，它就會越快被實現。接納這新天地的景象，並將它存於我的意識層面之中，因為沒有無法達到的夢想。它是真實的，而我是它的一部分。
