Wow Jeffrey! This again is powerful. I love the thought that minimalism is not about getting rid of things but more about getting to know the real essential in life – your true self. It is the same thought as my analogy of unwrapping your mind. It's not about getting rid of the wrapping – it is about having better access and better contact with what is wrapped – it is always about you. Know Thyself! And if you know thyself and are in contact with your true needs, it doesn't matter whether you have 100 or 1,000 things – if they all are supporting and not distracting your contact with yourself – they are good.

This one was stumbled and RT now :)

I really like Law #2. That's the way I try to treat simplicity– remove everything extraneous and start adding back what I really need and desire.

Great article, thanks!

Hi Jeffrey – This is so well said. I'm really into additions rather than subtractions lately. Because when we concentrate on adding what truly matters to our lives, which could be anything from eating organic vegetables to being in community with like-minded souls, then all the rest of what complicates our lives falls away naturally. There's just no longer any room for it.
