I like the "weighing me down"!. Attraction and connection to this world will definitely be a hinder as the years go by!. The more one has, when it comes time to receive the Mark of the Beast, the more they will tend to take it!. Love not the world, or the things of it!.!.!.
Many saints are getting a "restlessness" in their spirit, and I believe that is cause by the Spirits draw!.
I would not make any DRASTIC changes, but, I would live simple!.!.!.

To some, yes!. You have realized that there is more to life than just stuff!. But of course, there are necessary things, like food, water, clothing, and shelter!. If you are able to accept that you don't need anything than what is necessary, then yes, I believe you have reached a state of enlightenment!. I just hope you don't turn into a hobo, lol!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I feel like there is something beyond your personal belongings!. Like there is something holding you to those items including your house that you are actually trying to get rid of!. But other than that it can be an enlightening experience, but an expensive one!

thanks for keeping your dog that just would be cruel haha!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've heard we're all in enlightenment!.!.!.we just don't realize it yet!. also, I think you're supposed to be in a state of bliss no matter what happens when you experience that state of enlightenment!. If you feel your stuff is weighing you down, that doesn't sound like a happy state of bliss!. At least you have a sense of humor (re: your dog)!. Love it!.

Did you read Eckhart Tolle's latest book!.

You'll have less of an ego when you have less stuff - but only if you don't go around thinking of yourself as the person with no stuff!.

And you should definitely keep your dog!! ; >)Www@QuestionHome@Com

you're definitely getting there!. Material possessions mean nothing when you feel like you have everything you need within yourself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Good for you, Birdie! That's a sign of spiritual growth for sure!. I'm in favor of downsizing myself, just haven't figured out how to do it yet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
