I was one of those liars without knowing that I was, right? In my late 20s, I had sort of climbed the corporate ladder and achieved some material success after growing up really poor. And I thought that would complete me, make me happy, et cetera. And obviously, as you've already illuminated here, it did the opposite. We can get rid of our fancy things and then become consumers of meditation or other forms of dogma. But also consumers of prescriptions. These are the only currency that exists in the world today from the domains of the most spiritual and so-called sacred to the domain of the outright materialistic and worldly.
