Go Within to Practice Minimalism. Minimalism is not about getting rid of your things. It’s about getting rid of your desire for things.
Minimalism is the key to happiness. The Kingdom of God is minimalism, a total lack if materialism. Organized religions separate us from our true nature with materialism and keep us from going "within" ourselves and finding true minimalism (lack of material desires) within ourselves. In the bible in Luke 17:21, it states, "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." and in Luke 11:52 "Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered."
When we allow ourselves to be subjected to sensory inputs from
television, magazine, and newspaper, advertisements, we are allowing man
to influence our desire. When we meditate and shut off the sensory
input of the eyes ears nose touch etc., we allow the God within us to
redefine our desire away from the material world and towards the
spiritual world.
Organized religions make us think that we first have to give up our things but we don't. You don't have to suffer if you address your desires first. You never have to give up anything if you meditate first thing in the morning at sunrise every day (the daily bread) and let God tell you your place in the universe and dictate what makes you happy. This is pointed out in Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Meditate every morning , gradually kill earthly desire, and the things which separate you from your true non-materialistic nature (God) will fall off automatically. When we meditate we allow God to tell us what to desire, what will make us happy.
