Yes i live on the material plane, but i consciously day in day out try not to give into its temptations. I perceive the material world as a test from God.
You are under estimating the power money has. It is not a tool like an axe. More people have died for money than they have over an axe.
And i disagree i believe your spirituality starts to diminish the more you focus on the material world rather than the spiritual. Your talking as if you can acquire wealth like a game and then not be attached to it. Subconsciously your ego will be attached to it.
I know ppl dont think Jesus and Buddha offered much ''social value'', but heres one teaching they both agreed on;
''be in the world but not of it''.
( apologies if i have offended the Pavlina followers, but this is something that i had to express. I am merely expressing and opinion.)
