In a comment on one of my Project Empty posts, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
owzers said, "I'm still cleaning my house. I've been feeling this urgency to give stuff away - like maybe I'm not going to be around much longer or something. Kinda of freaking me out a little."
Groping for something useful to say, I replied that I'd had similar feelings, and that I was pretty sure they were a reaction to the death of an old way of life, and not a premonition.
Since then, I've started reading Eckhart Tolle*. In The Power of Now, Eckhart says something that accounts forowzers's decluttering panic better than any half-baked psychological theory I could come up with, and explains my own feeling that Project Empty is much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside.
( The Act of Radical Decluttering Is Spiritual. )
*Clutter-free reading: The Power of Now as an audiobook, and A New Earth as an ebook.
