The Spiral of greed.






                   It is with peace in mind that I come to you. These previous
            few  times  that  we  have  been  together  have  been  testing  trying
            times but like any good foundation it has to be allowed to settle
            first and after a period of curing can then be built upon. This night
            shall be spent in examining the question of orthodox teachings on
            Spirit.



                   In  early  times  all  was  reasonably  well  in  the  world  you
            inhabit,  man  trusted  man  within  reason,  and  a  certain  sense  of
            serenity  prevailed  allowing  the  various  tasks  that  each  had  to
            perform to be accomplished. Then came the advantage taker, he
            grabbed what he could with the minimum of effort. This human
            lived a world of no spiritual advantage. Those who suffered at the
            hands  of  this  human  resolved  not  to  be  fooled  again  in  such  a
            manner.  They  watched  the  wrongdoer  and  saw  only  the
            superficial signs of well being, a surplus of material goods piled
            around his door. Jealousy began to manifest and soon all wanted
            those  goods  back  and  as  the  original  wrongdoer  was  too  smart
            and  watched  his  back  too  well,  they  had  to  find  another  easier
            source.  Thus  began  the  spiral  of  greed,  the  gaining  of  material
            wealth at the least by the easiest method and at the most at any
            cost. Many are the stories that have been told of the man who sells
            his very soul so that he may gain material wealth.
