yeah, i'm pretty sure that's straight out of isaac luria, or maybe it was abraham abulafia. moses de leon has a bit in the zohar about how the torah is like a fund manager, winking and flashing bills at you from the door of her wall street office, but if you're not willing to be rich and famous, you won't notice and won't pursue her. but if you do . . . jackpot, baby!
