I am not really sure where you're going with this now... the dominance of the will seems to be the only thing of import to you. Yes, all the archetypes are available for resonance, but only when we reflect them is there full resonance, otherwise they are as strings of an instrument not yet made to vibrate in resonance with the self.
Aha They are both existent, of course, but if you mean that one cannot occur without the other I suppose that is true to an extent, however the differentiation I would make is that material gain can sometimes actually cause more disharmony in the self and so a spiritual gain would not be constituted as such, although catalyst for the potential for spiritual gain is, of course, thus available.
My point was not on the value of either spiritual or material gain, that was not the original point which was about power. Do I think all material activities result in spiritual gain and increase of spiritual power? No, but they can increase material power.
Although perhaps I should change my wording to say social power, rather than material power.
