We may attempt to regain a sense of wholeness through ownership of our families, property or material wealth, in this way trying to exert control over our lives.  

However, such control is artificial and out of touch with the natural laws and cycles that govern our bodies, minds, and the world around us.

It leaves us feeling trapped and unfulfilled, alienated from that with which we seek connection—ourselves, our loved ones, the universe itself.
