Poverty of the mind is therefore the only real poverty and this is also true of wealth.
Spirit is all, and is everywhere present. It is all a matter of awareness. We tune in to our own vibratory rate whether it is on a material plane of thought or a higher spiritual vibration.
This is actually what is meant by varying planes of thought, for this is a mental world and our concept of it may vary greatly from our neighbor’s. Our thought world is always carried with us whether we move from New England to the far flung Pacific for it is all the same and truly all we really possess.
Our riches lie simply in our spiritual outlook on life or our poverty, as the case may be, rests solely on our outlook. Many a person poor in the world’s material goods is far richer in the true values he holds mentally. Therefore, he is really rich for the mental outlook determines our destiny and brings to us that which we expect, whether it be good or bad. It is a law and one that is always at work.
Poverty of the mind is therefore the only real poverty and this is also true of wealth. That is all we can carry with us into the Spiritual realm of life -- our own mental outlook, our spiritual awareness or the lack of it.
Does it not then appear to your reason that mental outlook and spiritual awareness is all important? Think on this and you will find that it is so.
