Freedom from material things is your path to happiness
Strangely enough, a person who doesn't value things can't value human labor either. After all, absolutely any thing is the result of human work. So neglecting things, spoiling them, and destroying them is basically an unconscious desire to suppress the real causes of one's irritation. And all this comes from a negative attitude towards other people. Psychiatrists traced this connection many years ago, looking for the causes of such a common phenomenon as child vandalism. Entrances, elevators, fences, and even public transport that are spattered and covered with obscene inscriptions are most often the result of the activities of children and teenagers. Adults are much less likely to damage things, because they are much more experienced in suppressing irritation towards people, and, moreover, they are clearly aware of the connection between people and objects. So contempt for things is an extreme, almost a disease.The other side is exactly the opposite – it is an overly reverent attitude towards material goods, sometimes reaching fanaticism. The term "prophetism" is often used to define such a phenomenon.It is completely normal and correct when things fulfill their original purpose - to serve a person. In the opposite case, a person becomes just a slave to the benefits of civilization. Meanwhile, through the media, they are trying in every possible way to plant a cult of material goods. Propaganda of this attitude is conducted constantly, sometimes openly and intrusively, sometimes almost imperceptibly.You can do a little experiment. For example, go into any room of your house and select those things that are often advertised. You'll be surprised how many of them you have. Even when you choose a toothpaste for yourself, most likely you will choose not a tube of paste from a domestic manufacturer, but some kind of Colgate or something like that. Is he really better?This is largely due to the tricks used by manufacturers who are well-versed in consumer psychology.Diligent implementation of the Western way of life and its values is basically the most common way to gain a certain position in the market. Most often, we prefer those products that are constantly on the radar to those that, even if they are of higher quality, are not so widely known.From the point of view of esotericism, materialism is a shift of the natural emphasis from the spiritual world to the interests of a purely consumer nature. But, first of all, a person is his spirit, and when materialism changes life priorities, it's like watering the leaves and stem of a plant instead of watering its roots. It's no secret that the roots of all our actions and illnesses come from our soul. When we forget about these roots and let our lives take their course, without feeding ourselves with spiritual food, we wither, wither like a plant deprived of moisture.The one who is rich in spirit is truly rich. Unfortunately, this is often impossible for those who have everything to understand, because it is inherent in human nature to always want more. However, even those who are poor are only concerned with how to feed themselves and their family.There was once a miracle worker in India named Babaji. His followers burned something every day. By doing this, they demonstrated their independence from material wealth. Of course, it is much more expedient not to destroy things, but, for example, to share them with those people who need it. For example, one famous scientist simply threw out of the house all the things that he had not used for more than six months.There is nothing shameful in striving to live comfortably, but making an obsession out of it is already a sign of materialism, which deserves to be considered a real disease. Be free from the material world, and then the curtain will open for you into the treasury of spiritual riches. transescort.org/trans/spain/madrid/
