Understanding Reality Requires Unlearning Labels

The mind’s energy manifests as subject and object, creating dualities such as experiencer and experienced. This results in a deeper ignorance tied to identification, where subjective labels and descriptions obscure true reality. As individuals develop concepts and classifications, they mistakenly believe they gain clarity and power. However, from a Buddhist perspective, this process leads to a delusion, as all descriptions are mere creations rather than accurate representations of existence. The understanding of reality is hindered by culturally reinforced conceptual elaborations, prompting a need to unlearn these labels to recognize the true nature of experience.
