No matter how many toys you have.
You can't take them with you.

Yes, basically what Alexander the Great said....with his hands turned-up, thus, empty handed
outside his casket to show just that.

Exactly. Like letting some air out of a truck's tires to fit under a bridge.

Well one of those wives has kept something of her fathers. Might want to check her bags.

Ten camels as witnesses, what a think, a congregation of Camels that pick a bride, and yet they had to be there.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than someone rich to enter the kingdom of God.

But not impossible, if you leave your baggage behind.

I believe this is exactly right. To the bible literalist the rich man is the guy with a bunch of money, but to the spiritually minded it's about those of us who are rich in our biases, prejudices and misconceptions about God and the kingdom that not only stands in the way of us entering but hinders others. I'm seeing more and more the process is more about letting go than changing.
