Wealth you have to look after.
Knowledge will look after you.
But how to know if your knowledge is real?
I know a lot of people who know that their God is the real God, their politics, world views, etc.
That's why gnosticism appeals to me.
It is, in my feeble understanding of it, a built-in connectivity that taps into the One.
In other words, the Electric Universe where physical reality was created by non-living sentient beings.
That does not mean Artificial Intelligence.
Consciousness does not need a flesh suit to run around in.
What is called spirituality is, IDK, a formation of di-electric charges that religions label as "divine" or fractals of the Pleroma, supernatural, etc.
Our world was, according to gnostic sects, the result of a female aeon who disobeyed the rules and brought life into the mix. Her counterpart, Jesus, helped her out of her dilemma and appeared as the Enlightened One to lead Sophia and us fallen fractals back to the original state of perfection.
Not saying the Christ figure was a real person, any more than Buddha or Zoroaster.
See? Knowledge is so hit-or-miss, even if you study the available literature.
Gnostics claimed that the nerves in their pineal glands could reach up up up into the Akasha where all knowledge is stored.

"But how to know if your knowledge is real?"
The Truth is the same from all perspectives.
All of the "Religions" were introduced by the Controllers of this realm.
They only teach worship / service to the Creation, not The Creator.
IOHO
