Hi, I am Raven. I am on a spiritual path, and wished to clear my mind, which was very troubled. I noticed that the main issue bothering me, was my strong desire for more material things - in my case, vinyl records. At one stage, I had a big collection (520 LP's and 500 singles - to me, this was a lot!). I could not stop craving more, and would wake every morning with this on my mind. However, I am also an artist and poet, so I felt that this, along with my spiritual path, could give me an alternative.
So gradually, I sold/gave away all the records (to charity shops) - there are only seven left, which I am selling. I do need to get a little money back, otherwise I'd give away the lot. The music system (separates) is going too.
Today, I have found peace. No longer do I base my happiness on material things. Instead, I concentrate on creating a happy home life for my child and myself, and only owning what I need. I did buy a DAB radio - this is reasonable I feel, and fits in with a less materialistic lifestyle.
This is my path and choice, but maybe it would work for others? It works for me.
