In the TV series, “Hoarders”, you can almost see a spiritual warfare going on before your eyes when the cleaning crew and experts try to help the hoarders to deal with the psychological disorder and dump whatever garbage they have been hoarding in their house.
We are talking about tons of garbage. Garbage cover the entire floors and give sanctuary to critters.
It’s easy to judge and think that they are crazy, but I can see why they struggle. In their subconsciousness, their garbage means a lot of things to them. They have invested too much sentimental meanings into those garbage to dump them, even if it is hazardous and torturous to their families.
In the logical mind, they see every reason to make things better and stop hoarding, but their heads and hearts could never agree. If they try to dump the garbage, their anxiety level build up. Their breathe get heavy and they start to feel disoriented and depressed.
It’s a supernatural battle. It’s bigger than them.
Some say, dirt has demons, and I feel that is true after watching the show.
How about other struggles, like hoarding other things such as money? Or other disorders or addiction?
I can identify with the hoarders in my own problems. I can understand their anxiety level getting up when try to confront their problems. I have that symptom too when I confront mine. Now I understand it was not that I didn’t want to have my problem solved by taking the logical actions, like for the hoarder to simply dump their garbage, but there was an invisible wall that stood between me and the solutions to my problems.
It was a spiritual warfare.
