Wealth and power are essential. Without them we can do nothing. Money is the measure of all things. It is no longer just a tool. This is intellect pushing past the point that it works.
Money is a simple quantitative measure of success.
It is a goal intellect can focus on, but it is an empty goal that leads nowhere. Without a religious sense of connectedness to something beyond one's individual existence nothing has an enduring meaning. This cannot be a regression to the old fairy tales. We must renew the eternal values with a vision of religious truth that is compatible with the achievements of modern science. That is perhaps the greatest value that can come from Jung's work.
