The divine self does not necessarily demonstrate "supply" as money; it may demonstrate it by reducing one's bank account still further. True supply is entirely spiritual, the bringing up of a set of circumstances to the personal self which will afford it the spiritual lesson, expression, or opportunity necessary at the time. Those circumstances may be either prosperous or poverty stricken, as the wisdom of the Overself determines. Destiny, too, has something to say in the matter, but it is best left in the background of our reckonings; for, needless to say, destiny always works hand in hand with the Overself because both arise out of the same great Source--God. Poverty for some has been a gateway to higher things, for in times of prosperity the necessity of obtaining some understanding of the deeper side of life is not so strongly felt.
