Mark, all these writesrs have a role to play in preparing the ground for Seth, as it were. I first heard of Seth in reading "Supersoul" by Ian Lawton. Supersoul is Lawton's term for the word Entity used by Seth:

Though there are people far richer than Tolle or Chopra (a billionaire, for instance, is a millionaire 1000 times over), how much money is enough, beyond which one is dollar hoarding?

This Seth quote indicates, loosely, that there is something like too much money (and what he says could well apply to, say, CEOs who can make 400X what a common person in their organization might make, yet surely do not work 400X as hard):

"...your society has not learned to deal with its creative people. It underpays them, ignores them, or extravagantly overpays them...."

—Seth, TPS5, Deleted Session, August 12, 1979

In a very ballpark way, my opinion is beyond, say, $5 million, maybe less, one is dollar hoarding.

Are you having a down day?

Why would any one care how much money others make ? Its none of yours or my business.

There is nothing wrong with someone being in life, experiencing, "dirty filthy rotten stinkin rich!"

Nothing at all.

Nothing wrong with either side.

Do we lift others up and see others who could be "poor" as living in abundance or gripe about rich people having too much lol

Pick your own personal battles znd write them down on paper ( byron katie is awesome) . Mind your own business and lift others speech, and their general well being,  ... up up up !

You focus on problem as solution and you will STAY IN THE QUICKSAND.

Here's why:

The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger by Richard Wilkinson, Kate Pickett, Robert B. Reich (Foreword by)

This groundbreaking book, based on thirty years' research, demonstrates that more unequal societies are bad for almost everyone within them-the well-off and the poor. The remarkable data the book lays out and the measures it uses are like a spirit level which we can hold up to compare different societies. The differences revealed, even between rich market democracies, are striking. Almost every modern social and environmental problem-ill health, lack of community life, violence, drugs, obesity, mental illness, long working hours, big prison populations-is more likely to occur in a less equal society. The book goes to the heart of the apparent contrast between material success and social failure in many modern national societies.

The Spirit Level does not simply provide a diagnosis of our ills, but provides invaluable instruction in shifting the balance from self-interested consumerism to a friendlier, more collaborative society. It shows a way out of the social and environmental problems which beset us, and opens up a major new approach to improving the real quality of life, not just for the poor but for everyone. It is, in its conclusion, an optimistic book, which should revitalize politics and provide a new way of thinking about how we organize human communities.

And why would Seth use the term "extravagantly overpays"?

Even at least some of the very very rich don't feel secure:

Mike Nesmith writing in Infinite Tuesday: An Autobiographical Riff (excellent book but, for the Monkees-curious, very little about the other 3 in the single, Monkees-era chapter):

"I have talked to friends who have become Masters of the Universe and made billions of dollars, and they all have the same two concerns in common. The first is that they feel as if, in some unexplainable way, their wealth and success is a fluke, like hitting the lottery. Second, they fear it will all suddenly vanish and leave them wretched and homeless, living under a freeway overpass."
