What is the human person as an embodied spirit?

Each spirit sees other spirits, according as their thoughts are, and if these are foul, the thinker appears foul in his body, that is, the garments of the thinker appear unclean if his ideas are so. Again, if he is miserly, that is, having thoughts engrossed with material instead of spiritual things, he appears as a man who is poverty-stricken in spiritual advantages simply because he has never laid up treasures in heaven. Hence, a man whose thoughts have always been of the earth earthy is a pauper in the spirit world because possessions are of no avail to the spirit. He may have been clothed in purple and fine linen when he died but he will rise up in the eyes of the spirit aorld a miserable creature, clothed in rags.
