Labels,Concepts and attachment.

The last 4yrs,i have looked up on new age,buddism,hindu,taoism etc etc,twin flame concepts,souls,along with astrology and yoga in an effort to find a better understanding and meaning to life,well the truth.

I have been in transition and have totally turned my life around and turned my back on this capitalist system.

I have also gotten to this point,that i don't attach to labels and concepts.

And take everything with a grain of salt.

Who rightly knows anything?It is easy though to be mislead isn't it.

I generally think people pay too much attention and make too much effort and affected by labels and concepts.

Consumed in a sense.

But isn't that the whole point.

IE:Leading one up the garden path through many roads to find 'something'.

Something i mean 'tangible'.

Yet attaching.

The way i see it,people are mislead by label and concepts,attaching someone elses experience/s that is not there own.

And haven't taken into the account as well,the 'capitalist system'.

In my view, we can never lose the attachment to labels, because even "not labeling" things, is still an attachment to labels.

What I feel needs to happen, is to see a label as being more of a "descriptive thing" rather than a "defining thing" and losing attachments simply means that whether you have an attachment or not is really not important.

People think that making progress means to associate with the opposite thing that was holding them back, when the opposite thing can be JUST as self-limiting and sabotaging as that they are trying to "escape" from...so, instead of rejecting, escaping, seeking the opposite...why not either FULLY accept it or just let it go with love?

I have no problems with labeling things, but some others may have problems with the fact that I do and they do not. Will it make any difference to either party? nope...so why worry?

Firstly thankyou for your reply,i really appreciate it.

I though beg to differ somewhat,i like to form a view we can 'taste' but not 'eat',in regards to attachment and labels.

What you describe though as your looking for something 'tangible'.

Regards progress and association,you've lost me and confused me by your reasoning,it ain't logical nor makes sense.

In time,you'll find,the short answer is all you need.

As to your last sentence,i'm trying to help,i know things aren't processing as they should,and i've been there myself.

I now have an older woman conveying now too.

I though,have misgivings about this site and others actually.

People should discern for themselves.

So do I, my friend...so do I (and it is getting much worse).

Yes, people should discern for themselves and it is indeed unfortunate that "freedom of Religious expression" is seen as a great sin by some people.

I grow tired of the accusations of "delusion" and "deception" by those who believe they are "God's gift to humanity" .

I'm over it.

Freedom of Religious expression,exactly.

We are all in this together,trying to make sense of it all and trying to join the dots.

No ones better or higher than anyone else.

Anyhow,don't let it get to you,i'm sure you have thicker skin.

I hope that you know that you contribute so much and are extremely insightful [many times]. I at least am grateful.

Hard to see how anyone can detach from labels - they're the words we use to classify and specify any and everything we need to communicate. Just signs. Semiotics and semantic hierarchy: nouns to specify what we're talking about, the subjects and objects; verbs to describe the actions upon them; adjectives to focus in on particularities - and the rest.

Doesn't matter whether it's spiritual, abstract or concrete stuff; ideal or real essence.

.

Detaching is same as observing a thought and letting it pass.

You take note,you consider it,you take it with a grain of salt.

You look at the whole picture,just not one part.
