The good news is that the transition from "having" to "being" is available to all of us. Give it a try. The only thing you have to lose is your anxiety and unhappiness…
Thom--Equanimity, perhaps another way to express the idea?
The idea of equanminity is psychological stability and composure undisturbed by emotions, pain, or other phenomena that may cause others to lose the balance of their mind.
One can see this in the Dalai Lama, who has often been quoted as saying that he is just a simple monk with no possessions. Actually he was an official head of state earlier in life and there are plenty of material things at the huge complex at Dharamsala where he lives. Despite that, he is into just being at 89 years old.
