Spiritual Thinking is the simple revelation of true humility.
James 4:10
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you.
Colossians 3:12
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
James 4:6
6 But he gives us more grace. Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
Luke 14:11
11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Proverbs 11:2
2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
Spiritual Thinking is the result of the synchronization of the human mind with the Divine Mind, which is present in each of us all the time. Unchecked, the human mind develops an ego and pride, which drives us away from God, Spirit, Brahman, or the Divine Mind, which is the cause of all destructive thoughts. When we practice Spiritual Thinking through frequent affirmations of God being the only Power, our human thoughts start coordinating with the Divine Mind, and we enjoy peace, harmony, health, and prosperity all the time. Since God, the Divine Mind is the cause and effect of everything in this universe, He can supply all our needs and more, and we are always joyful and grateful, ready to receive even more.
If, on the other hand, we let our human ego and pride dominate our thoughts, we become selfish and autocratic and start manipulating everyone. We become miserable and make others miserable, also. The human ego is in eternal conflict with the Divine Mind, and this is discussed in a previous post:
Eternal Conflict of the human ego and the Divine Mind:

By affirmations of the truth and prayers, we start suppressing this human ego, and our thoughts are then derived from the Divine Mind. This is what Spiritual Thinking is all about. When perfected, our thoughts, derived from the Divine Mind, become intuitive, and we experience happiness all the time. At this stage, our allegiance is to the one and only God, the Divine Mind and is the revelation of true humility. The autocratic, human ego-derived individuals, who think they are the only Gods, get angry because Spiritual Thinking people do not bow to them or consider them to be Gods. They try to mock and humiliate the Spiritual Thinking people. This is unfortunate, but we can overcome this annoyance if our faith is strong. Ultimately the egoistic people will be humbled down before God.
In the Upanishads, the importance of eliminating the human ego and arrogance, called ‘AHAM,’ is necessary to grow spiritually. The ‘Aham” is substituted by “OM: which denotes the Brahman, the Divine Mind that is present in all of us. That is why all Vedic mantras start with “OM” as the accurate representation of God, all the Power in this universe. For those who cannot conceptualize, the “OM: is seen in various forms, such as Rama, Krishna, Narayana, and Nama Sivaya. Lakshmi , Saraswati, Ganesha, Durga, etc. We chant the mantras as ‘OM Namo Narayana’ etc., as we can visualize God as the image we hold in our thoughts/ It does not mean that there are so many Gods, as it is misunderstood. It is just one God we see in so many forms. This, however, is limiting, and it is hard to imagine the enormity of the supreme power since we are visualizing God in a human form. But as Jesus emphasized, we are given a particular faith to meet our needs.
