Division and Labels

When we think of the "human condition" we think of a world that is a slave to its own devices.  We divide ourselves into categories so that we think we understand.  We label groups of people according to their economic status, their religion, their politics etc. And within each of these groups we further divide according to "our" definition of what is right and wrong, good and bad, righteous and evil.  So we establish a great wall of prejudice and indifference.  Our words become the labels of justification and tyranny.  And we live in a world of illusion, a world that we have created.  A world of ideology rather than reality.

Looking and actually seeing a world of reality requires that you discard your labels so that you can see through your own prejudice.  It requires you to discard your position so that there is no opposition. Most people will not be able to do this because they have so much invested in what they believe.  If you have ideals that you support and believe in then you are lost.  You will continue down a path of rigid idealism that has no room for the reality of what is.  You will always be looking for and demanding the continuity of your own conditioned mind.  A mind that is without compassion or understanding.

If you can stop labeling people then you can start understanding.  A mind that is clouded with the misrepresentation of what actually is can never see the truth of the moment.  In the moment there are no labels.  There are only people, not numbers or statistics.  Your words mean nothing because they are the emptiness of death and destruction.  They carry nothing except the empty illusions of what was.  Is it not time to breakaway from the past to forge a new intelligence that see's through the prejudice of the past.  Change, your change is in the moment.  Look and see the reality of what is without a mind that is clouded with the angst of what should be.

The actual reality is this...there are only people all else is the made up illusion of those who live in it.
When you realize and free yourself, then you understand.  And for the first time you don't think in terms of labels.  Compassion that is without a cause is ones reality.
