8. The Magical Journey of Used Clothing

Have you ever watched the movie "The Cobbler" by Adam Sandler? The cobbler wore his customer's shoe then he transformed into that person and walk into his or her journey.

Well, I do believe in magic, in the unseen and the spiritual world. I believe that anything with energy have spirits and/or life.. or even the memory of life.

The clothes we wear are the closest we have around us, so close that it always touch our skin. The comfort that it gives, provides us with the best feeling we have for that day. It provides and it provides without asking much in return. It never ask you for food, for love and even affection. Maybe it will just ask to be cleaned and even then, it is for your own good.

Buying or choosing a used clothing to buy or wear, one should be a little careful of who wore it before and who is taking care of it now (the seller who sells you the clothes). It's a bit like getting a pet from a breeder, you will always try to find a breeder who care and love the animals rather than buying from the breeder who is rough, cruel and doesn't even care about his/her animals.

If animals have feelings, do other things (clothing) have feelings too? Of course we will say no, but we wish that they do. What if they do?

What if buying them from the people who respect them, care for them and love them would in turn transfer that love and care to you too?

What if getting them from the people who always praise them and see the high value in them would in turn transfer the praise and increase the value in you?

"What if" is always a good question to begin if you have big imaginations and the question "What if" have mostly lead to many creation of the things we have now.

Now we know from what type of breeder or seller we can choose to buy, but the next question is..

How do we know how good or bad the previous owner was? Does it come with a good or bad history before?

For me, a good breeder can help by becoming a good 'purgatory' (transition area) and help infuse positiveness into it by being positive, before it meets its new owner. Still, the feeling of positiveness and comfortableness must come from the new owner him/herself. If you feel good and happy about the clothes, just get it. Don't simply get it because it is dirt cheap, as you don't want to wear dirt on your skin.

Who knows, maybe one day your 'special used clothing' will take you on that magical and spiritual journey you have long for all this while!

That is why sometimes people collects and pay a very high price for a vintage wear. Maybe because of the magical & spiritual journey that lies within ~
