Being extremely wealthy is one aspiration we all have. We want to own the biggest houses, the flashiest cars, large tracts of land, the most expensive designer clothes, and so on. We are so obsessed with becoming wealthy that we are unaware that the pursuit of wealth is an endless pursuit that only brings temporary satisfaction: a journey characterized by endless desires that can never be fulfilled even across infinite lifetimes, because the more you accumulate wealth, the more you desire to accumulate more. They say that if you reach the peak of one mountain of wealth, you realize that there are many more mountains to climb.
Anyway, this is not what I will be discussing today. What I want to discuss today is much darker.
It recently dawned on me that we have been conditioned to be obsessed with the pursuit of wealth. In the ancient times, this obsession only dwelt in the hearts of a few men. Conversely, today, almost everyone wants to be wealthy, and this is because we have been conditioned to desire excess wealth from a young age. Capitalists have always spent billions of dollars on psychological marketing strategies that ensure that we are obsessed with accumulating material possessions that we don’t really need.
These individuals market luxurious houses with massive gates, expensive holiday vacations on tropical islands, expensive hotels that promise peace of mind, million-dollar watches, designer clothes, private jets, and glamorous lifestyles that appear almost divine. Everywhere one looks, these images dominate the modern world. They appear on billboards, movies, music videos, magazines, and social media feeds. Humanity is constantly surrounded by carefully constructed images of luxury and excess material wealth, which ensure an obsession with the pursuit of wealth.
One could think that this conditioning mostly aims to ensure the profitability of corporations. It is right to think so, but there is also a darker agenda hidden within this conditioning. If you think deeply about this conditioning, you’ll find that its agenda is more spiritual.
The people who are conditioning us to be obsessed with wealth already possess more money than entire populations could spend in multiple lifetimes. They own private islands, corporations, media platforms, luxury properties, and political influence beyond ordinary imagination. These individuals have reached a point where they have realized that the desire for wealth is endless and wealth never satisfies the soul. They have discovered that the endless nature of the pursuit of wealth ensures that the mind is always in a negative and restless state. This is precisely what makes the agenda behind keeping us obsessed with the pursuit of wealth darker. If the capitalists have reached this point, it is clear that the conditioning is not primarily about acquiring more money from the population.
If you take a deeper look, you’ll find that this conditioning is all about distraction. It aims to keep us from understanding the true nature of reality and knowing what we truly are. The more we pursue wealth, the more we become anxious, depressed, and frustrated, because the gap between our current state and the wealth we desire always widens. This pursuit ensures that the mind is constantly projected into the future: planning, calculating, comparing, and strategizing how to acquire more.
This state of mind is always reaching for something, and for this reason, it never rests in what is. It is trapped in an endless cycle of dissatisfaction, where peace is postponed indefinitely into a future that never arrives. Attention becomes scattered across possibilities, fears, ambitions, and imagined versions of oneself, while direct awareness of the present moment steadily weakens.
This state of mind can never understand the true nature of reality, the self, and our relationship with our creator because this understanding is only attained by a still mind, which, according to many ancient sages, is the key to divine knowledge and mysteries.
A restless mind is blind to divine truth because it always interprets reality through desire and fear. It filters experience through comparison – that is, what is missing, what can be gained, and what might be lost – rather than perceiving what simply is.
When the mind is constantly moving outward, it loses the capacity for deep inward perception. Ancient traditions across different cultures have often pointed to this same principle: that truth is not something to be accumulated or achieved through effort alone, but something revealed when mental noise settles. In silence, the usual boundaries between the observer and observed begin to disappear, and everything becomes clearer.
This is what the capitalists who condition us to be obsessed with the pursuit of wealth want to avoid. They don’t want us to access divine truths, and honestly, I don’t know why they don’t want us to do so. Maybe it is because their system of control will collapse when we know what Earth really is and who we really are. Or maybe it’s a more sinister agenda, which conspiracy theorists have popularized over the years. An agenda to ensure that we are always stressed so that we constantly emit negative energy, which is food to the dark entities that have been trapped in the material realm. I really do not know, but what I surely know is that the pursuit of wealth is a distraction from life, as it eventually becomes the center of our attention and replaces the direct experience of living in reality.
