From the angels: Do not focus on lowly endeavors. Why would you want things? What joy derives from having things others don’t possess? If your neighbors had no food or water and will starve, would you take pleasure that you had mountains of food and drink? Would you feel the same in relation to transport or shelter? Things are molecules of energy formed in varied shapes and uses.

Things bind your soul from climbing to the heights. Things trap you to earthly ways. Things possess, entrap, and keep you from the lofty ways of rising into love. Things can shackle you like chains. They hold you from the freedoms the soul aches to know.
