The Mammonite Agenda:
Quotes about the Book

"Mammon to me means the misuse of wealth in all its forms; i.e.. Beauty, knowledge, strength, riches (land, property, etc), fame and renunciation. It's not what you have or what you do but the consciousness you do it in.”
Rasa S., Austin, Texas

“Like science, Stronghorse gives definition and title to a collective energy, many humans are experiencing as God. - Mammonite energy serves as an entitlement of personal values, purpose and motive that diverts from the intimacy and justice with nature.”
Eagle Star Blanket, Conifer, Colo.

"The material world can be a wonderful way to embody and express our spirit in form. Matter is moldable by our consciousness, so it becomes a sacred expression and creation."
Estara, Novato, Calif.

“Arguing about Mammon is a waste of good air. Margaret Meade once said, ‘What people say, what people do, and what they say they do are entirely different things’."
Jeff H. Detroit, Mich.

“Mammon: is one’s attitude towards all things owned, king or demon that is the personification of wealth. Mammon is the essence of self-pity. Mammon is self-centeredness, self-importance, self-pity. Mammon is selfish, short-term interest with complete lack of consideration for the long-term survival of the species – of the family. Mammon is behaving like you have no family.”

“The clearest vast-scale, visual example of Mammon is in the way people drive. The example I like to use is: Leave San Francisco at noon on Sunday. Drive south on Interstate 5 (a two lane highway). Discipline yourself to drive the entire time in the right hand lane. Look to your left and you can see Mammon at work. You will see people driving at speeds exceeding the speed limit within 5 feet of the car in front of them. Tailgating at 80-90 MPH. They tailgate because of the fear that someone else will have the room to cut in front of them. They will lose a car length. Their needs are more important than the physical safety of everyone around them. They are threatening others’ lives for the short-term gratification of getting ahead of the other guy – the short-term satisfaction of gain.”
Dan S. Los Angles, CA.

“Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. But the spirit of man is being destroyed all the time, mostly by other men in Mammon's material grip.”
Gil Gevins, PVR, Mexico
