Labelling

Posted on by philipdodson

Imagine if we stopped labelling people and things…wow, our minds could be silent, as we would not be able to judge people or ourselves, based on another person’s mind labelling of us or others.

Labels are constructs of the individual mind and/or the collective mind, they serve only to allow a feeling of superiority for the individual ego and/or the collective ego.

Comparison and superiority are what the ego thrives on and is fuelled by labels.

When we are conscious, opinions of ourselves and others do not matter and nor do labels.

The next ‘big’ thing is what many spend their life waiting for…a wedding, a holiday, a promotion, a new car and so on. The mind and its ego waiting for the ‘important’ and opportunity to perhaps become superior for a moment, of course, the moment is short-lived.

The problem is the ‘big’ things only amount to about 0.1% or less of our life. So that means we spend 99.9% of our time waiting for the ‘big’ thing, waiting to be noticed, waiting to feel ‘special’ or ‘important’.

The little moments, as in this one right now are what we could choose to be aware of and enjoy, or instead, we can carry on projecting into the future in our unconscious mind-state and ignoring 99.9% of our lives.
