I had a place sitting at the feet of the greatest spiritual teacher ever to appear on earth, a fully enlightened God-Man. It was like being in Heaven at the feet of God while being filled with Divine Grace. All the money in the world could not match that reality.
In fact Governor Moonbeam,Jerry Brown, came by and even got a tour of the place but when asked to see the teacher he was told to come back as a devotee.
Now without that Teacher, I am one of the poorest people on earth, but I do have a solar heated hot tub,solar sauna, and wood stove.
The poor help the poor and the rich help the rich,
thats how it goes,
everybody knows.
