There is always another rung of the ladder to be climbed. Be not faint-hearted, but go forward and upward always reaching for the highest. Life is movement; it is change; it is growth. No soul can remain in the same state all the time. Nature cannot remain static; it is ever changing and expanding, growing from one stage to the next. The acorn grows to a mighty oak; the bulb grows and produces beautiful flowers; the seed of corn produces grain. Change is taking place all the time. If change is not taking place in you, you may be sure that something is wrong, and it is necessary for you to find out what it is and then do something about it. Do not resist change, but flow with it and accept it. It may not always be comfortable, but be willing to accept a little discomfort so that the glorious new can evolve in and through you, transforming you into a new being, filled with light, love and inspiration.
總是會有下一個梯子的梯階需要被攀登。不要變得缺乏勇氣，而是一直向前向上去達到最高。生命是動態的；它是變化的；它是成長的。沒有靈魂可以保持一成不變。自然無法是靜止的；它總是在變化、擴展，從一個階段成長到另一個階段。一顆橡子成長為一個巨大的橡樹；球莖生長並誕生出美麗的花朵；玉米的種子生產出糧食。變化一直在發生。如果在我之中沒有變化發生，我可能得確信某些事情出錯了，並且我有必要去找到那是什麼，然後對它採取一些行動。不要抵抗變化，而是順其自然去接納它。這可能不會總是讓我感到舒服，但要願意去接納一點點的不適，榮耀的新事物才能夠從我的內在進化出來，將我轉化為一個新的生命，讓光、愛與靈感充滿（我）。
