Does Money Make You Happy?
Saturday – May 23, 2026

Having or not having... Perhaps that should be the question? At least if you are a modern man. At least if you are a man that operates under the material assumption of functionality... You empty, poor soul! Shame on you!

    Look, that last part is out of scope I know, but money is important, at least that is the world we have to contend with, not that the creator, read "Who or What is God?", intended for this, but then again we have to understand the world from the point of view of the Cyclical order if we intend to actually make something of this all; if we actually intend to make a clear statement about whether or not money should make you happy. It would be perfectly, indeed it is perfectly, understandable that most men would become more happy if they suddenly, that sudden part is important here, became more wealthy, but the fact that this crude and temporal wealth is the only thing that actually appears to make men happy in this our 21st century should be concerning, but part of this all is also time of course, read "The End of History", and time does something to people and increasingly so today. In the remote past, people had a radically different perception of time; for those men happiness was not a pursuit in and of itself, read "Happiness?", because their entire movement was ordered with the skillful intention in mind; truly these men existed in harmony with the natural world, read as well "The Primordial Body" and "Hierarchy". Besides all of these points, the entire idea that life should revolve around happiness is depraved to begin with, because men are only supposed to feel happiness whenever their senses are somehow affected, and whether or not their senses are being affected adversely or not never mattered, and this is the whole reason for addiction, or rather this is the whole reason why men become attached to the material in the first place, and in order to gain higher reasoning, read "Knowledge", it is simply not good enough to dig in further; to "dig in further" simply refers to the effort that most men appear to engage in that seeks to obfuscate the world.

    I may have strayed too far from the topic at hand, but the overall point still stands: if men have as their highest goal happiness, and if money is the only thing that can actually make them happy, then there is nothing left to be preserved. Beauty simply does not require happiness, nor does God, or indeed the Celestial Paradise, for one man's utopia is, and has always been, another man's hell; this is a universal and timeless truth, truly a principle without which you may not contend with the world. Yes, the world is not a great place, nor was it created to be "great", and all of these attempts to perfect the world have only created a greater and greater monster, read "Disintegration", really a greater and greater pressure. So if you are a man that says to yourself: "I do not find money important, nor do I fancy what it does to my senses, and even if money makes me happy this is only temporary"; you are mistaken. Money will make you happy, because you are a modern man, and you may have a certain sense of divine inspiration, but this sense has been so battered and so bashed that ugly has replaced your ideal of beauty, true and transcendent beauty, because this is what beauty does best and why even most moderns claim, quite rightly, that money cannot pay for true art, yet they do not act in this way. This dissonance will not liberate anyone anytime soon, but keep acting in this way and you will receive an answer at the end of time. I should also admit that while money can make you happy, it will, it can only do this for a short amount of time, and for the people who are now almost or even completely solidified money can no longer do this, and whether or not completely solidified people tend to be born or created is unfortunately a somewhat disputed subject among the scholars, and, I should add, is placed far outside the scope of this post. I should also mention that there are some people who may not become happy, or rather money may not make these people happy, for reasons having not to do with them being solidified, and this is perhaps the case with the very few men who are truly of an ascendant rank, such as Brahmins (ब्राह्मण).

    Of course, the populist lie is, now from a political point of view, that money does not concern ordinary people beyond the "bread and butter" and the sentimentalism of the little unit, the family, but the hard truth is of course that most people concern themselves far more with money than what their populist contentions would admit, and this is profoundly sad, because there used to be a time in which this was true, and the fact that politicians are so crude as to appropriate this history goes to show and prove their Satanic intentions, read "What are Demons?". I have also stated in the past, read "Gold", that while money used to be something sacred and quite real, today money represents the most deviated form, and as I am writing these money is disintegrating and the crude intentions of the "banksters" never seem to let up; it has even reached the point where money has become completely illusory and imaginary. What kind of money am I even referring to? Actually I do not know, because money truly represents something completely virtual these days, and it is also quite telling that the most repressive governments are at the forefront of this great lie. What kind of value, even if this is only material, could be attached to this imaginary unit? Why do people increasingly feel no need to sense the money? So is it then not the case that while money does make people happier, this happiness is really a kind of delirium, read "What is Mental Illness?"? Yes, to a large extent the love of money, usury, is a kind of Satanic delirium, and recognized as such in ancient and not so ancient, for that matter, times. But as long as the world keeps "runnin' on money", there is no hope for man, but this all must still be understood as an expression of the cyclical development, and it is to be expected that men should become mentally ill and delirious in these times, read "The Eschatology of the Kali Yuga". Well, if this is happiness I do not want it, and neither should any man seeking a higher plane.
