Possession obsession

Post by Bernard »

Coming onto Xmas i find myself reviewing my possessions side of life, especially tool collection, then my brother sent me the catalogue in the link below. I'd like to go back to owning just two bags of possesions, as I had managed up to the age of 35, but have settled more since and things collect. Do possessions hinder high thinking?

It is ok to have own things as long as they do not own you.

If an obsession, that is which what, when possession Owns you. And in effect all your null affects.

Ah, but if it an obsession, That is which, if what Owns you, not is what, of which you own. And in effect all your you're ill affects un end. Switch.

The only obsessions worthy of a human, are those which are either or neither... self contaminant or nor soul animant...
What asserts from weak will which brings you rest, there assures for ward well watch of the nest...

Ownership is about certainty of access and control. Reframe your life in that light and a lot of problems will clear up.
