Do not make money your God, strive from something higher

When you make money your God, you kill every notion of a God. Whether within a known religious structure or a spiritual structure. That connection with common humanity is lost.

So, you can then pretend to be or believe yourself to be anything, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Pagan whatever. It doesn't matter. You can be a bishop or high priest in whatever domain and it would not matter. Because your soul now has a monetary attached and it can be bought and sold dependent on the market demands. You have from there lost your connection.

This is basically what has happened to the vast majority of the Western civilization. There is no point of shouting, Christ is King, on the streets as a way to cure this ailment if you are unwilling to understand the wisdom behind the scripture. There is no point in following any religion apart from making yourself feel good, and then turning that itself into some grift. You have lost the soul of a seeker, a regimental routine and forced emotions will not bring you closer to any sense of God. The God doesn't even necessarily have to be real for you to understand the wisdom of something beyond ourselves and the deep connection we are supposed to have with all aspects of life.

Please stop chasing the green dragon. That treasure will not make you happy. That gold will kill us all and make us slaves unto our own temptations and desires. It will make us into a limited species. We must break from this spell.
