I feel that as far as material things in life are concerned.., everything that is material (outer world) in and around us is manifestation of our Spirit or mind (inner world). When you see a lot of clutter in your life (house. job. relationships. etc. ) this shows us what we are holding onto inside of ourselves. It is no walk in the park to deal with these issues, but it is important! Take time with yourself and all involved!!!

As we climb the mountain of life we pick up people. situations, events, emotions, etc. If we hold onto these things they become chains (attachements). If we do not experience then release these things they become more and more. The more chains you have the harder it is to climb. These are the times that we are forced to slow down and some times stop (look to the ruts in your life... these are to get your attention ). At the same time as this is happening the mountain is getting steeper. So it is important to let go of the past and many of our material possessions* (key hidden in that word), for in doing this we become lighter and lighter. We all know it is easier to climb unbound and light!!!! To reach the top of the mountain and master we must be naked to OURSELVES, the WORLD arid GOD.

not saving to go out and burn everything you own... there is something important to learn in the process of doing it slowly. Do not go too fast. There will be many emotional shifts as you deal with the material. If is heifer to have many small fires than to have one big FIRE! Think of this thr a moment: If your house (everything you owned was in it) was to burn down... what are the things that you would miss the most and why??? Do you have things you have not touched in years... that are just lying around. There is no need to get rid of everything.

EVERYTHING and I mean everything outside of the body is a mirror of what you carrying in your mind and spirit. The house is a good place to start looking. You all use Feng Shui.. you just do not realize that you do it. Did you that when you move into a house the house will already have problems associated with your problem areas. The house is a manifestation of what is already in your mind and Spirit. Look to the corners you have clutter.., this will show you where you are blocked. Sometimes you put clutter around issues you are trying to avoid. You may be surprised at what you find. In clearing out the clutter you may discover something you forgot you had ever had in the middle of it all. So this may also bring about issues (emotional, physical. mental and spiritual) you had buried and forgotten about.

"Possessions” - Something to ponder: Why would you want to possess anything? Are you holding on to the items or are you attached to them? Why do you feel the need to keep certain items? Can you truly own the land von live on? Does not the Earth belong to ALL? Many people try to possess other people can one truly possess another? Do your belongings tell you who you are? M&• ‘ue our wasttinu to possess a lot of things is our chngiie to fix: idea tint there win never he enough or that if we do not cling to sc’mcthmg we x~ ill fade away!

There arc also shifts in relationships !! You will start to deal with your connections/attachments to the people in your life. These connects are culled Chakr.i cords... cords that come out of your chnkra and connect to people, places and things. They can even reach into your past. As \ ou -aot o release and free yourself more arid more., you will cc through solnc tW~’ cm ~ issues and sift through old wounds. It is ill ~‘~‘th” in the long run WLn ~ ou finish, you will then get to deal with other people that have their corns anacned to you. As you deal with past events and people you come more into the NOW and life becomes less of a burden (a heavy bag you drag around), there is less of your energy that is being leaked into your past.

One last thing on clearing out the past to move forward: As you loosen your ties with the material it is important that you know how to go within. Your material things give you ties to the Earth... as these loosen

if you do not know how to go within you will he lost. For you will need to know that all you need is within you. To will start to carry all of what you are and have on your back/in you... like brother turtle! You will not riced a house to cover you or to stop and recharge before the next day... the house is only material... you will only have to go within to recharge and have the space that a house (at this point) gives you.

When you open your hand to release your grip on the past you have a place for the future to come into!! Going through the letting go of the OLD makes room for time NEW. Look to what does not serve your Spirit anymore arid set yourself and others free!!!

I give this in LOVE!!! I know that I do not know it all so my truth is always changing (except for two things... that we are all ONE and that LOVE is the Key). I also keep my mind open knowing that there are many pieces to the TRUTH everywhere.,, everyone is right and everyone is wrong at the same time.

Always keep you face to the Liuht and your back to the night. but remember that both are part of you. Listen to your Hearts for that is where God resides!!! Be loving and gentle with yourselves!!!
