You “Having” Is Not You Being
If you're surfing Amazon without specific intention most likely, “stuff” owns you. Most likely stuff is addiction. Appeasing, numbing, shooting fear is what we do. Stuff takes the edge off temporarily. It’s what addiction does. Our big societal problem...stuff tends to be the measure of our success or value. The more shit we have the better we “are.” The spiritual reality? You are not your stuff. You need more than stuff. Stuff will not make you you. These lessons seem to be at the surface of our day-to-day but rarely do we pay attention until we are broke or maxed out hiding under the crush of debt, fearing the very thing we feared in the first place: not having value. Stuff is weight. You “having” is not you “being”. You “being” is living undefended without people, places or things being your happiness reality. We must learn to build structures of peace and happiness within ourselves. We must learn to receive love as our “being” and not simply rely on substance or the tickle of Amazon to get us through another day.
