Thank your for the suggestion Chas, but I have tried having no material possessions and being homeless. It's very unpleasant when there are mosquitoes, it's cold and you have only a can of baked beans and no can opener and no water to drink. Sand is also very hard to sleep on and it's better to head for some grass on the side of the road.

Two years of it would be very unpleasant and pointless. I prefer to put a bit of effort in and come up with some excellent and well-appointed material accoutrements to enhance my life. Material possessions are no more limiting to mindfulness than is having feet, hands, eyes or ears. They simply help provide an interface from mind to 3D. I suggest you cut off your feet and hands to see what I mean. That might seem at first glance a silly idea, but that's just because you are trapped in your own mind.

See how you are trapped in your own mind with this idea? <As for you escaping the depths of your own mind, it is pretty much hopeless at your advanced age... > It is fixed and false belief you gained and have imprisoned your own thinking with it.
