You seem to me as you are trying to master the material world and the spiritual world- good luck with that. I see them as opposing forces. |
Spiritually I also value Bill Gates' contribution. I find the explosion of the software market to be very empowering, at least as much as what I learned from the teachings of Jesus and Buddha. I started using Microsoft products from age 10. MS-DOS, Windows, and Word helped me grow a lot more than reading the Bible did.
To me the material world is merely a projection of the spiritual world. The two are inseparable.
