I didn't even notice 🙃 Identifying as female is so low on my radar I do often miss inclusive type stuff.

No, found. I must say, it is on the nasty, vitriolic side for a meme. Someone was upset when the made it 💀 She looks spiritually constipated to me. Strained smile. Bit of uncanny valley with the over emphasised chin, mouth, teeth. And smile that doesn't extend to the eyes. Overall a deranged meme 🤣

Quite the claim. Burden of proof.

@theleelajoker To be clear I'm not shitting on concepts/ideas/labels or thought. They have their use and they are absolutely an asset. But we if are talking spiritual process, freeing, acceptance, integration, ending unnessecary suffering and awakening - as you start to dissolve conditioning we see how these things act to fuck everything up. So you learn exactly when to throw them away, and when you use them. It also becomes very clear when others are using them to identify with ego, centralising experience. Rather than dissolving the subject / object relationship we have and being within experience in a nonlocal, free way. No judgement. Only discernment. It's like seeing the clouds and saying 'those are MY clouds, MY sky' 'MY ideas, MY thoughts' Not sure if this resonates with you? I think you understand this part of the path ❤️

How come you were unable to see your shadows without the label?

Yeah, it seems to be the actual root issue behind the surface discussion regarding labels/concepts/ideas. It's not about ND not ND. NT not NT. It could be anything. It's the underlying theme behind the human drive towards concept/idea/label in an attempt to seek existential meaning. Without investigating what meaning is, in an of itself. There appears to be attachment present. And reassurance / relief from said attachment. Evidence by emotional attribution. This is actually counter to equinimity. There's a huge mix of users who are more direct experience based, and those more concept/thought based. Sometimes there isn't the realisation the concept/thought/idea/label acts as a cataract between the eyes and the vision/truth. This is a heavy model/concept thread. I am aligned with your view. But I don't want to engage, pick my battles etc 🥹

I suppose the thread title is also a misnomer - no one needs to be fixed. No one is broken. We are all valid as we are, without having to prove it, fit in. Or show worth...

How come we cannot accept ourselves without a label/concept/idea ? Perhaps we look too much to society to tell us what is right, rather than within.

@PolyPeter You may enjoy a lot of Peter Ralston (if you have not already heard of him). His delivery is forceful, emotive, passionate and earnest. Candid. Some cannot get past that. But if you can, he has a lot to say about beliefs. It is an asset to be able to make a distinction between a truth and a belief. Regardless, both are an asset/have use. In my opinion

Oh wow thank you - this is additional context that changes a lot! Will think on this. Other users might find your addition above useful also
