100:2.6 The goal of [[human]] [[self-realization]] should be [[spiritual]], not [[material]]. The only [[realities]] worth striving for are [[divine]], [[spiritual]], and [[eternal]]. [[Mortal]] man is entitled to the [[enjoyment]] of [[physical]] [[pleasures]] and to the [[satisfaction]] of [[human]] [[affections]]; he is benefited by [[loyalty]] to [[human]] [[associations]] and [[temporal]] [[institutions]]; but these are not the [[eternal]] [[foundations]] upon which to build the [[immortal]] [[personality]] which must [[transcend]] [[space]], vanquish [[time]], and achieve the eternal [[destiny]] of [[divine]] [[perfection]] and [[finaliter]] [[service]].

100:2.7 [[Jesus]] portrayed the [[profound]] surety of the [[God]]-knowing [[mortal]] when he said: "To a God-knowing kingdom believer, what does it matter if all [[things]] [[earthly]] crash?"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_6] [[Temporal]] securities are vulnerable, but [[spiritual]] sureties are impregnable. When the flood [[tides]] of human [[adversity]], [[selfishness]], cruelty, hate, malice, and [[jealousy]] beat about the [[mortal]] [[soul]], you may rest in the [[assurance]] that there is one inner bastion, the citadel of the [[spirit]], which is absolutely unassailable; at least this is true of every [[human being]] who has [[dedicated]] the keeping of his [[soul]] to the indwelling spirit of the [[eternal]] [[God]].

100:2.8 After such [[spiritual]] [[attainment]], whether secured by [[gradual]] [[growth]] or specific [[crisis]], there occurs a new [[orientation]] of [[personality]] as well as the [[development]] of a new [[standard]] of [[values]]. Such spirit-born [[individuals]] are so remotivated in life that they can calmly stand by while their fondest [[ambitions]] perish and their keenest [[hopes]] crash; they positively know that such [[catastrophes]] are but the redirecting [[cataclysms]] which wreck one's [[temporal]] [[creations]] preliminary to the rearing of the more [[noble]] and enduring [[realities]] of a new and more [[sublime]] level of [[universe]] [[attainment]].
