Hi @Cahlen and @jin-out ,
I think both of you are right,
The confusion come in the owner definition I think,
- If you take I as being, the rider of the physical body, you don't own the body (the earth own the body) therefore anything I the material world would never be of your posession.
At best you are Keeper of this matter. Certain atoms arengments are of your reponsibility. - If you take I as being the physical body having an experience here on earth, you can own matter the exact way you described.
And I think both views are true.
Because having an experiment in the matter but not being the matter.
It's both sides of the same coin, go all materialistic is wrong go all spiritual is wrong too, you need balance.
How can you claim to be having an experience in the matter-realm whilst not being attached to it, and so forming these ideals as ownership?
We are emotional beings, and that's what emotional beings do. They get attached to things. But spirituality, that requires non-attachment, and that is very very hard. But at least we know the situation.
If you take the matter world as a playground, it is easier to not being attached to matter itself.
Like a game, if you play game of go, or chess you are not the game, you are playing the game.
For us it is trickery because we are playing a very immersive game here in the world of matter.
But as you said, knowing the situation helps.
