Most of those dwelling in the human state of consciousnes want more material things, because the habit has been acquired, and many are without the will to help break such habits. The law of ECK is that desire is the source of all pain.

I can relate to this problem. Recently I bought myself something and after reading this passage I realize my weakness to buy things to occupy my time and money. From my readings I believe the solution here isn’t to force myself to change, but rather to embrace the daily spiritual practice. In time my life will adjust to the new consciousness being born.
