haven't had time to listen yet, but just the title got me thinking about the subject of possessions. On the one hand, it is correct i think that most people these days are focused on material possessions, while ignoring more important spiritual, cultural type issues. Most americans are drowning in possessions, many deep in debt and slaving away at jobs they hate to maintain their lifestyle. And yet, they are deprived of the material possessions that they most need... clean, healthy natural foods... knowledge of how to live a healthy life. basics essentials to live a healthy life (cooking tools, quality clothing, access to nature, non-toxic building materials) etc. you have to be rich to afford quality stuff... but toxic junk, well, that is everywhere. what a world we live in.
