"Money can't buy real friendship—friendship must be earned. Money can't buy a clear conscience—square dealing is the price tag. Money can't buy the glow of good health—right living is the secret. Money can't buy happiness—happiness is a mental condition and one may be as happy in a cottage as in a mansion. Money can't buy sunsets, songs of wild birds and the music of the wind in the trees—these are as free as the air we breath. Money can't buy inward peace—peace is the result of a constructive philosophy in life. Money can't buy a good character—good character is achieved through decent habits of private living and wholesome dealings in our open contacts with our fellow men."

To be part of the problem automatically means WE hold the solution. It simply isn't any other way. We just have to see what it is we are doing and how we are thinking that creates our poverty mindset, which creates lack in our lives. Once we can see clearly that it is our unoriginal re-actions to situations and/or our inability to simply act all together that produce our limitations, we are in a better position to change ourselves so that we can go on to experience ourselves in the world in a different way. Ultimately, it is our ignorance and blindness that keeps us in poverty.
So, what can we do to turn aspects like 7,8,& 9 of this law around? Other religious customs promote "giving" as a means of "getting" in return; I would have to whole-heartedly agree that this activity fits in very nicely with the Law of Gratitude, for instance, which stipulates that there is a:
"sense of satisfaction in knowing that energy, which has been given, receives its certain reward according to its nature. Energy that is given moves out on that curved and unequal line, and when extended far enough, can only return to its source bearing its appropriate gifts."
The Law of Magic, which creates change, helps us see that it is within our power to change conditions that we aren't happy with. Further, the Law of Vacuum--is a reminder that getting rid of anything (be it mental, physical, or emotional) AUTOMATICALLY makes room for something else to take it's place.
(It is important to keep going back to the previous laws and re-minding ourselves because all the Cosmic Laws work in tandem, corresponding as they do necessarily with each other.)
I can see nothing more for me to add to this subject as the Law is in and of itself outlined explicitly.

Whatever poverty we speak of... it all starts in the mind. What I have learned in my life experiences is that some people want to be in poverty (of what ever nature they have chosen) because it attracts to them that which they seek. Until they chose to work through that stage of their life, they will see no solution or way out.

I have known lots of people that fit willingly into each aspect without even realizing it. I myself can fall into some aspect of poverty on any given day, if I let the illusion of "having something" blur my vision. I am a recovering addict and I am surrounded by recovering addicts quite frequently and we all can identify with aspects 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9.
On the other hand, the Law of Magic and other forms of it have helped me immensely in recovering from the poverty I have created for myself. There are so many things that can cause me to be mentally ill, and feeling like I need "things" to be ok, is at the very top of that list. If I can master the art of just breathing and taking in the beauty of nature, I can surely surpass these aspects of poverty.

Well here is my take on the Top 10...
1. Feeling undressed...
2. Feeling like someone stole your clothes...
3. Theft through and through...
4. Me, well close anyway...
5. Need for boundaries...
6. Having put all your eggs in one basket...
7. STUCK
8. We are in the NOW at this point...
9. I can attest to this one....or write a book on it...
10 Happiness is a by product of a life well lived inside and out of Self...You can not take material product with you...Most of the time it deals with inside stuff...
