Disconnection from the Divine Source

The answer is that the distortion of the image of God and the emergence of negative judgments do not arise from inherent malice, but from the loss of connection to the true source of existence and the pristine essence of humanity. In the original design, man was created as a reflection of a higher reality; however, as a consequence of the fall and detachment from that source, his image begins to distort, and the perception of God becomes incomplete and negatively tinted. In other words, when the connection with truth and light is lost, people tend to see and express that which distances them from the original design.

The Eternal Journey of Spiritual Renewal

True spirituality manifests as the constant inner renewal of the soul, as a person strives to accumulate an incomparably valuable spiritual treasure through daily transformation and diligent work on his inner world.

Eternal Priorities

The choice between ephemeral material goods and the eternal treasures of the soul is considered key to our spiritual development, for it determines what fills our inner life and what true value will accompany us for eternity. In other words, it is through this choice that our soul is formed: if we accumulate only earthly riches, then as noted, “we will be temporary rich and eternal poor,” but if we devote our efforts to accumulating eternal treasures, “we will be temporary poor and eternal rich” (1184_5916.txt).

The Essence of True Spiritual Wealth

True wealth of the soul is determined not by material acquisitions but by a profound inner transformation that occurs through spiritual growth and the cultivation of virtues. This wealth is spiritual; it manifests itself in attaining eternal life, enriching the inner world, and undergoing transformation through turning to God. For example, one source notes, "We have already seen that, from a principled point of view, St. John recognizes only one true poverty—the lack of virtue—and only one true wealth—eternal life. Therefore, it is up to the will of the person to be truly rich or poor, and the current poverty is nothing more than a phantom, a mask, a picture, just like earthly wealth" (source: 1234_6166.txt).
