I would take a look at the Vibration of Creation and combine it with Woven Worlds - Contentment
In my experience things bring mostly comfort and/or pleasure not really contentment. Being content means you are literally content with whatever arises in (your) life. Once you are content with everything life will becomes a play. On the surface things come and go but they have no impact on how you’re feeling. You will always feel abundant. There is also something like prarabdha karma. This karma plays at this very moment. If it’s not meant for you to become rich etc then it will never happen. Some will prove me wrong but is where i’m at right now. Sometimes you have to lose to win.
I lost a lot in this lifetime and especially during the last years. Lots of material things, friends, girlfriends… All my dreams are smashed. I don’t have a car, no heating, no warm water etc. I still enjoy things, but I don’t really depend on them. Slowly i’m becoming almost desire less. But what i gained is an immense feeling of joy and awareness just to be alive.
Life is process. Enjoy it while it lasts! One day the process will be complete…
Don’t take it personally but the ego is fighting back. Always remember the person (ego) does not exist. Your are the self! Always! The divine is playing with each of us. Just surrender. There’s no other way.
