Mammon is related with wealth, the riches of the earth. It is a demon, an individual that treasures gold, money. This is why it is stated that this society is a mammon society. Everybody wants money and more money. "Give me gold, intellectualism," everything in relation with this mind. "I want to be famous," so you have to be a millionaire, etc. That is mammon. So, to be against mammon is to be against your mind, and not to be a slave of money. You need money, OK, but do not be a slave of money, do not be identified with it; follow the rules of God. This is why Jesus said: "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven." Heaven is in the head, it relates to the pineal gland, and beyond your consciousness. “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,” because everybody on the earth wants to be rich, to have treasures. It is not bad to have what you need, to have money. It is good, but do not identify with it. Do not make your life out of covetousness; do not make of collecting money the reason to be alive. Just have what you need. What do you need? You need to eat, to clothe yourself, and to have a shelter. Clothes, food, and shelter is why you need money in this day and age. In previous ages, in ancient times you did not need money for that. But now, money is the base for that, so you need it, thus get it just to satisfy your necessities. But let your priority be the kingdom of your own consciousness, the kingdom of your own Spirit, because if you want to work today for God and tomorrow for mammon, or in the morning for mammon and in the afternoon for God, then, you are serving two lords at the same time. You cannot do it.
If you work because you need money in order to survive, do it, but in your job, be aware of yourself. Work for your God. Be in hell as an angel, not as a demon. This is difficult, because none of the demons like to be in hell acting as angels but as demons, yet the angel is tested in hell. Do you want to be an angel? Do you want to awaken your consciousness? The consciousness awakens here in hell where you have to be tested so that you can work with yourself.
This is how this must be understood, because there are people who, for instance, say: "First I'm going to have my home, my car, a certain quantity of money in the bank, and then I will work for God." That is ludicrous, because then the ego of greed within you will say: "Well, you need this, and this more, and this more," and like this, years pass, you get old, and at the end you die. And from those treasures that you were treasuring a lot, you do not take a cent, nothing, because you go alone into the grave and this is it. Then you go into other dimensions. Your physical life ended. So why do we have to identify with the treasures of the earth, with mammon?
