Definitely. Higher-dimensional love.
It’ll make you forget about money. Having this love, you already have everything you might want.

Walt Whitman had this to say about what is probably a higher form of love than what I’ve been experiencing:
“Thou, O God, my life hast lighted,
With ray of light, steady, ineffable, vouchsafed of Thee,
(Light rare, untellable—lighting the very light!
Beyond all signs, descriptions, languages!)
For that, O God—be it my latest word—here on my knees,
Old, poor, and paralyzed—I thank Thee.” (1)
On another occasion, he burst forth:
“The ocean filled with joy — the atmosphere all joy! Joy, joy, in freedom, worship, love! Joy in the ecstasy: Enough to merely be! Enough to breathe! Joy, Joy! All over joy.” (2)
Now I haven’t had that level of experience of love or joy, but the experience I have had is enough to allow me to fully appreciate what he’s saying.
Joy of the intensity that he’s describing would, I imagine, like love, wipe the slate clean and leave one pure and innocent.
Notice what he says here: “The ocean filled with joy.” He’s in an Ocean of Joy. That is, he’s immersed in joy.
Perhaps you recall that, from my viewpoint, the difference between a feeling and a divine state is that a feeling is perceived as happening inside us whereas we perceive ourselves as being immersed in or swept away by a divine state. I was in an ocean of love; he was in an ocean of joy. (3)
So, yes, Elon Musk, the experience of this higher form of love is worth mega money. The Buddha said it was worth renouncing kingdoms in several worlds for. Yes, anything material does not hold a candle to this love.
In the face of it, the feelings we have about money are dissolved and transcended. We forget about money. And if and when we do, if we attach ourselves to the love of money again, our connection with the deeper love will disappear.
Sitting here, in the quiet, late at night, I’m experiencing this love. The mind falls quiet. A contented smile crosses my face, and I feel totally satisfied, with no need for anything else.
This love is its own reward. I am self-sufficient but yearning to share. Love must flow. We get to experience it in the sharing. (3)

(3) Archangel Michael: Love is the energy of the universe. It is the energy of the Mother. And it moves constantly, continually, eternally, infinitely. So, to have an experience of love, it [must move] through you. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Dec. 5, 2018.)
AAM: Love is a fluid energy. It has need to flow and so when it does not flow it becomes… Well, as you put it, it be can become dry and brittle. It has need to be given and received above, below, within, without and in every which way. (AAM, April 30, 2019.)
