<p>No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.</p>
Accepted Answer
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. - Matthew 6:24
Mammon, the least erected Spirit that fell from heaven (Netzach), for even in heaven his looks and thoughts were always downward bent, admiring more the riches of Heavens pavement (Malkuth), trodden Gold, Then aught divine or holy else enjoyed in vision beatific: by him first men also, and by his suggestion taught, ransacked the center, and with impious hands rifled the bowels of their mother Earth for Treasures better hid.
Soon had his gang opened into the Hill a spacious wound and dug out ribs of Gold.
Let none admire that riches grow in Hell (Klipoth); that soil may best deserve the precious bane.
And here let those (dimwitted ones) who boast about mortal things, and wondering tell of Babel (babble, or intellect), and the works of Memphian Kings Learn how their greatest Monuments of Fame, And Strength and Art are easily out-done by (intellectual) Spirits reprobate, and in an hour What in an age they with incessant toil and hands innumerable scarce perform. – Milton, Paradise Lost
Therefore:
In an irrefutable, axiomatic manner, we can and even must define Mammon with two terms:
A = Intellectualism
B = Money (gold, material wealth)
We, the Gnostics (as Memphian Kings), plainly disappointed with the stubborn intellectualism of Mammon, drink the wine of meditation from the cup of perfect concentration. - Samael Aun Weor

the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof. - Revelation 5: 5
