Add to your spiritual riches

Everything we possess in celestial life is within ourselves and our outward clothing corresponds to our inner nature.

A hard, avaricious, grasping man enters this life. He has never felt pity or commiseration for the sufferings of others. He passes through the gate of death, enters the spiritual. He has been wholly bound up in self and what he could gather to himself. He may have spirit friends here but he had no love for anyone but himself, so his spirit friends are not particularly attracted to him and even if they would benefit him his soul is hard and repellant and, so, oftener than otherwise, he is all alone; there is no beauty within him, so his surroundings are bare and barren for he naturally gravitates to a plane corresponding to his inner self; his countenance takes on a fierce, scowling, ugly expression; his hair corresponds and is stiff and wiry and naturally takes on a dark, black colour; his hands correspond to his inner nature and they take on the appearance of grasping claws; he is usually stooped in his shoulders; his legs are thin as his body, also his arms; his feet are often very large and deformed, for he is of the earth earthy, consequently his feet become flat and large.

Now his natural spiritual garment is shrunken and shrivelled up, for the spiritual garment corresponds to the soul, the mind or the spirit. His legs and arms are, as a rule, covered with bristly hair, for the nearer a soul approaches the selfishness of the brute creation, the nearer the spirit's appearance approaches the appearance of the brute.
