Soul Sanitizer

Do you hand sanitize? I cannot use the alcohol laden stuff that is supposed to kill germs and bacteria and supposedly keep me safe from sickness - I never liked how it smelt or how it felt on my hands and hey, I like the good old fashioned and traditional methodology of washing my hands with soap and water.

I have been thinking about outside in, inside out purifying. I have a contractor that comes to my house and repairs what is broken, or out of place, or dysfunctional. Each time he is here and then leaves, I find myself getting rid of what needs to go, sorting and placing items that are not where they belong, and I complete tasks that have been pending. Why fix what is broken and not complete the job by finishing up in all areas, seen and unseen?

When my bedroom gets cluttered and messy, I know I am in need of some soul sanitizing: I know that there is something lurking in the closet of my mind, in the recesses of my spirit, that require attention and perhaps, revision. In preparation for this bit of writing, I looked up what impact hand sanitizer has on users and abuses, those amongst us that seem to be trying to wash out some unseen vermin, or keep it at bay... shoo fly, don't bother me, and keep your larvae to yourself too, is what they seem to be saying unconsciously - more on this a little later. What people do not understand is that while they wash themselves clean on the outside, their guts, their inner world and workings, are dusty, dirty, smudged, or down right filthy and infested with soul maggots.  

What good does it do you or me, to sanitize the outside, and neglect our insides? 

Outside in. There are some people that feel a sense of soothing calm wash over them when their environment is orderly. They cannot stand clutter or displaced things - it is unsettling for them and they will not rest until all is where it ought to be, according to their perception. Perhaps you live with someone that is obsessive about their environment? Perhaps this describes you?

Inside out. There are some people that feel a sense of soothing calm wash over them when their inner world is clarified and decluttered. This type of person may seem distracted and distant, incapable of connecting with others, until they have worked out what troubles them. Perhaps this describes someone with whom you live or associate? Perhaps this describes you?

Let us address now the unconscious actions of those that sanitize, and then sanitize some more, after human contact, or after any contact with surfaces that may be unclean and perceived as a potential hazard to health. Hand sanitizers are ubiquitous - here are some statistics for the funds generated for producers of these products:

The global hand sanitizer market is poised to reach a valuation of USD 5.8 billion in 2025 and is expected to expand to USD 10.3 billion by 2035, reflecting a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. 

These pump or dump on hands products are everywhere, and they are promoted as a quick fix to a germ ridden life problem. Making money honey, is the sketchy little not so secret scheme, behind this nonsensical and persistent misuse of substances that are harmful to humans. Bibles are ubiquitous too, and they are not pushed, promoted, propagandized for the masses as soul sanitizers, and yet, dear one, that is exactly what we need - to be cleansed from the inside out. Of course, working for the kingdom of heaven will not line the pockets of the product pushers, so I can see why Bible reading is not highly encouraged or even considered by the conglomerates, that are inclined to take health by causing illness, in exchange for cash. Rinse, or should I say sanitize, and repeat. 

Society is so sleepy, dear reader. Eyelids are at half mast, and hands reach for things that do not serve them, that in fact are extremely harmful. Habits have been formed that need breaking, and one of them, is going along with the product pushers that could care less about people, and that give all of their attention and affection, to the money they can hustle out of pockets. 

Be aware, beware, be cautious, be observant, make choices, think before you act, assess prior to jumping in, or sticking out your hands to be soaked and cracked open with alcohol and other "sanitizing" substances, that will affect your immune system, liver function, and other internal workings. Have a look at the article I have copied and pasted below, and please do consider, disuse of hand sanitizers, and perhaps, picking up a Bible and reading about the Healer that cleanses souls.
