Ownership of items, land, or anything really is a social construct. When you have an object, a home, or even funds your relation to them is one of control. You believe you own objects, but in reality you are just controlling the object in deciding where it is kept, what is done with it, by who, etc. The idea of ownership falls apart due to various reasons. One is that no item in the world inherently belongs to us except our physical bodies. Another reason is that any item we have can possibly be taken from us whether it is from thieves, government entities, or even natural disasters that destroy the possessions that we control. Ownership without control is not really ownership and control without legal ownership is a form of control regardless and is functionally the same as ownership. When you want to own a home or new phone, what you really want is to control it so you can decide who lives there and who you allow to use it. I would even go so far as to say we can remove the word ownership from the language and replace it with control. This would probably also help societyโs perceptions of material wealth. And even in situations such as holding onto a personโs belongings for them, youโre still technically exercising control over the objects, you are just doing so for someone else temporarily.
In America where capitalism is the dominant worldview, this seems ridiculous. However, separating actual ownership from control helps us to understand how a socialist society can continue to function despite everything being owned by the state. They understand that while a person may control and use a home, land, or corporations, they are still owned by the state and therefore are subject to the desires of the public. This contrasts with capitalistic thought, where ownership is seen as inherent, unquestionable, and it is a taboo to question why those in charge are allowed to control so much of societyโs resources even to the detriment of literally everything else in existence. The people, the environment, the future generations.
If you suffer in relationships with others, ask yourself as well if you are attempting to control people in similar ways to your belongings. Usurping the autonomy of a lover, family member, or any other person in the name of authority or their own well being echoes the control of objects where you are the person who decides how they are used, where to keep them, and who has access to them.
This kind of thinking also takes โOwnershipโ off of a pedestal and realizes that the functional benefit is just having legal control over it. When you are manifesting wealth or other things you should avoid terms like owning or having. It is better to view it as being available to you because modern ideas of ownership are heavily romanticized and from the perspective of the soul it is all temporary and an illusion. It also helps you to have a healthy mindset about the items you possess in the 3D reality.
