Understanding the illusion of ownership and being 'poor in spirit'
The speaker used to enjoy window shopping without feeling the need to buy, as they recognized the beauty without needing to possess it. They discuss the ego's tendency to equate having with being and live through comparison, drawing from a quote in the Bible about the poor in spirit meaning having no inner baggage or identifications. The speaker came to this interpretation after an inner shift, realizing the truth behind the conventional interpretation and understanding 'poor in spirit' as being free from internal burdens.
