===Quote===
“… [[spirit]]-born [[individuals]] are so remotivated in life that they can calmly stand by while their fondest [[ambitions]] perish and their keenest [[hopes]] crash….” [[100:2|100:.7]]
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: The above quote [[resonated]] with you, as you have personally [[experienced]] what it depicts. Indeed, whoever is ‘reborn’ is at the onset of a brand-new [[experience]] that makes the previous one pale by [[comparison]]. Why is this so?

“Whenever you are [[born]] in Spirit, you are indeed ‘reborn’, as it is a mighty [[conversion]] experience that turns your world upside down and inside out — literally. Indeed, a spiritual rebirth has all to do with the higher [[values]] it invites into your life. It gives you a [[taste]] of them and leads you to wish to incorporate them into your life’s pursuits, as they shed a new and brighter [[light]] on how you view what happens to you.

“Once born of the Spirit, your spiritual [[DNA]] gets activated, so to speak, and, as you grow up spiritually, you increasingly display the spiritual and emotional [[Godlike]] family resemblance by which you can be identified — no need for a [[secret]] handshake there.

“Human lives are driven by a variety of ‘[[motivators]]’ — or [[stagnate]] due to the lack thereof for those who lack personal drive. There is definitely a ‘before’ and an ‘after’ [[epoch]] in the life of those who experience such a spiritual birth. They come to [[understand]] that [[adversity]] is actually on their side, as it promotes their [[growth]] and their understanding of what truly matters in a life well lived — that which is of everlasting import.

“Which ‘valuables’ remain when your material [[possessions]] are taken away from you? This actually is the revolving door that gets you in [[touch]] with your spiritual side, as you do have to figure a positive and [[gracious]] exit from these trying circumstances. It is when you realize that your hard-earned spiritual treasures are untouchable — no matter how severe your material [[bankruptcy]] may be.

“You also come to [[accept]] that what has been taken away from you is not [[leading]] you to a dead-end, but to the starting gate of a much brighter [[future]], as your life has been stripped from its [[shortsightedness]] and you have acquired a far-reaching [[perspective]] that includes your eternal [[future]].
===Closing===
“Rather than hosting a [[pity]]-party for your losses, you start counting the [[blessings]] that they brought into your life. This is the reason why a constant [[attitude]] of [[gratitude]] is the key to such an upgrading [[transformation]]. [[The Father]] is constantly working toward the [[unfoldment]] of your life’s plan. “Thank you, God, for the good that will come out of it” is the most [[efficient]] theme that extirpates you from the [[victim]] mentality and its associated [[complaining]] mode. Indeed, a thank-you works [[wonders]], as it takes you from a state of inner [[resistance]] and [[resentment]] to one of [[acceptance]] and allowing — allowing the blessings to fill the [[vacuum]] left by what was taken away from you.”
