Values for Money, the Exchange

Recently, I attended a self-actualization seminar. It was not presented as such, and actually, I did not stay for the whole presentation. Let me explain.
A few months earlier, I signed up as a dealer for a multi level marketing company. Upon registering, I was advised that to advance to a level known as ’silver,’ I would have to sign up a certain amount of dealers under me and I would need to go to a special training that would last two days. I should have investigated this more closely, but I was eager to find another business; I wanted a career change. Even though I had tried MLM before, somehow, I thought this product would be different - and I was eager for a change because I was becoming distracted by the progressively, over-regulation of my industry.
My upline, whom I respect very much, advised me that the seminar was a ‘positive motivational’ type, but that it was not ‘New Age’ nor anti-God. They told me that, in fact, the seminar leader will tell you that it is not ‘New Age’ nor anti-God. Now that should have sent the red flags sailing. I do not remember Satan telling Eve, “You know, I have got this thing against God.” I should have known better. Years earlier, God brought me out of ‘New Age’ and I have been to a multitude of seminars in the past, but I trusted my people and dropped my guard.
