Every object in our daily life resonates in the depths of our psyche. Each gesture and each connection with our environment reveals part of our relationship to the divine and can influence us. Even if they can seem trivial, unremarkable. Because how can we connect with the divine, if not in the immediacy, simplicity and depth of our immediate environment…
What differentiates the layman from an initiate is the intention, the symbolic and initiating significance of an everyday act. A mundane object or action can suddenly reach a higher dimension. If this is done consciously. The action becomes an act, the object a symbol.
The trash can contains everything that needs to remove. Without a trash can, everything would become dirty, stinky and overflowing. The trash includes everything we no longer need in an irreversible way, like old memories that have suddenly become intrusive. Before putrefaction and decay, everything is evacuated and released.
What is no longer useful but can be resold or donated does not have the same scope, because there is still a use.
Once the trash can and its contents are removed, space and cleanliness appear. Stale and dirty, old and unhealthy, all this leaves room for emptiness and cleanliness. Memories are removed from our daily lives, the void reveals an interior space that can receive the New. Because to create and bring in the New, we must first create a void. To attract energy, we need to create a new space. Then a new light can be incarnated.
Taking out your trash, if done consciously, becomes a small act of cleaning and liberation. Small, but significant in its repetition and intention. Each object thrown away therefore represents a part that has been evacuated, an old part that we renounce.
Throwing away your trash becomes an act of purification. This act, previously totally uninteresting and daily banal, becomes essential also for our energy system, our psychic and spiritual existence.
