1. We don't even need food, water, and shelter...only our bodies need that...we (our timeless bits of nothing) don't even need a planet or a universe...
2. Turns outs...we came to earth...a world of form...with Stuff. The problem isn't stuff per se...it is our thinking that the stuff IS part of US...somehow the ego likes to identify with stuff (among other things)....if you can get over that then there is nothing wrong with IPODS...enjoy it while it lasts...like the earth.
3. Consumerism is CRAZY!!! meh...everyone's crazy...it's just a matter of degree. |
This got me to thinking about consumerism as it relates to the recession...mostly that Congress is thinking about a "TAX HOLIDAY" to encourage people to spend money...That is pretty stupid...
...So I wrote about it:
Wealth Consciousness and Consumerism
Again...if you could lemme know my level of suckiness...that would be much appreciated.
