Episode notes
Labels Distort Inner Experience
- Words like "foggy" describe subjective, abstract experiences that differ between people.
- Labels can obscure the raw experience of consciousness and create unnecessary judgment.
The Label Is Also A Thought
- The thought that names an experience ("this is fogginess") is itself just another thought.
- Noticing and setting that labeling-thought aside reveals the unlabelled experience underneath.
Set Aside Judgments And Return
- Set aside the judgmental thought that says "I don't like this" and return to the immediate experience.
- Don't fight or rationalize the thought; notice it and then shift attention back to simple awareness.
