materialism vs spiritualism
This is an issue I've been struggling with. Before I discovered the Tao form myself, I was a devout materialist. I was convinced there was nothing beyond the physical world and we should all be working at that. Girlfriend, property, gadgets, any sort of conspicuous consuption, I was behind it. While this drive faded with age, I never really considered any sort of spirtual world.

Then I saw the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?" It became very apparent to me that there was in fact more to the universe than what we could see.

When I quit my job and my "money" was swiftly drying up, I became more and more spiritual. I focused on that part of my life and life in general like never before. In fact I had completely convinced myself that the physical world was nothing, just some stop over on the road of eternity.

I am now earning money again and I feel myself being drawn back into the physical world. While I am not completely convinced that's a bad thing, it does worry me that the mere presence of money may have been the motivator.

I was just wondering how many of you have gone through these internal debates and where you currently stand on them. I'm convinced there's more than the physical world, but I am so uncertain as to the physical world plays.
