Just because they're labels doesn't equal not communicating. I don't see the conditioning that way.

Nothing is also a label

Its hard to see things you're attached to and making the decision to let them go. Knowing if you had them you would have to give them up eventually, through a change in circumstances or in death. I know longing for things I don't have leads me to more suffering, instead of being grateful for the moment I am living in. Giving up can be quite painful. We think we will be happy when we get a certain thing, instead of realizing we can be happy for the sake of being happy right now not conditioned by anything. I don't mean giving up and committing suicide, I mean giving up ambition and giving up striving for change. If I am still striving for the truth, then I'm still striving. Does anyone have any good pointers in regards to the path concerning ambitions/desire and its weakening or strengthening?

I.S is only used on this forum. Attracting incidents was due to a certain type of being I experienced that day, due to a certain meditation technique carried out the night before.

What if you don't attribute any meaning to the name? Does the name still have power?

Is the Veil of Paroketh similar to seeing the emptiness of self, and the Abyss similar to see the emptiness of phenomena?

The sad thing is, we are all parasites, relaying on something else for survival.

Very interesting links, thank you

Humility can be sought alone as a means to de-emphasise the ego

Stosh did your hardships play a part in searching for truth?

Is this why there is a term, 'Grumpy old men', always unhappy, caught up and weighed down by their preconceived notions/conditioning.

Maybe, fulfilled, complete, content?

Because you think you're not happy?

Taking on too much baggage aka social conditioning.

What is it within ourselves that get embarrassed? Programming that works within the realm of preconceived notions. Maybe my name is not so stupid after all and is a practice in itself.

Well it came from Creepy Pasta.

I think he was responding to my original post. Spotless did you get my PM, any advice? Don't respond if you can't.

Hell is a state of mind.

What if you're not your name? Your name was picked up along the way and was given to you which stuck for the time being. Are people entangled with their own name? Not realizing they existed before their name was given to them.
