Metaphorically, without all our possessions, we are often described as being stripped down to our essential selves. This means we are seen for who we are at our core, without the material belongings or external trappings that can sometimes mask or define us in society. It’s a way of emphasizing the importance of our character, values, and inner qualities over material wealth or status. In this state, we may be more vulnerable, but it can also be an opportunity for authentic self-discovery and connection with others on a deeper level. Liam
