Applied Labels

Each moment only provides the setting for it to be labeled. When it’s said you feel a certain way, it’s strictly your own judgement of that moment that labels it; the moment itself doesn’t label…

Through the senses life is labeled, and those labels are constantly applied. Everything is judged, even an empty cup on the counter is a judgment. Not a harmful one, but a judgment just the same. When it’s learned not to judge and apply the conditioned label, there’s awareness of the distractions that keep you from going beyond labeled living. With this new awareness the mind finally settles enough to notice the deeper view. This is the initial awareness, but it will require much more discipline to go deeper. The deeper you go the more the material world will be let go of which is the sensory world because it will not be needed. And the more the material world is let go of the more understanding there is of the deeper view and the freer you’ll be.

The senses are directly linked to the bondage of self as is the labeled view. So if you really want to understand life from the spiritual realm, you will have to get very quiet and become aware of how subtle the bondage to the delusional self really is. Conditioning is the only reason life is viewed the way it is by so many people as the quietness that’s necessary for the mind to settle isn’t practiced. This isn’t something that’s right or wrong, it’s just limiting. Without the discipline to understand the difference between label living and the deeper view, there will be no difference and the label view will be the only view that will be seen. Again not right or wrong, but it is limiting and what’s limited is your view…
