The Fight Against Interpretation

La lucha contra la interpretación

A question about the experience of mental struggle, where awareness keeps turning everything it encounters into ideas, and the resistance that arises against that very process.

The Fight Against Interpretation

A question about the experience of mental struggle, where awareness keeps turning everything it encounters into ideas, and the resistance that arises against that very process.

In the experience, there's a lot of noise, a lot of fighting in a mental way. But it's being realized that the mind keeps turning everything it holds into an idea.

Let's understand the story.

There is a topic coming into something. There's a movement of turning into, or trying to understand and interpret, and there is a fighting against this interpretation.

You're fighting against interpretation?

It's realized, yes.

Resisting the resistance

I understand that there's a struggle, a fighting, a trying to understand what's happening. It's actually resisting resisting. Resisting the interpretation. It's realized that the mind is trying to interpret, and something doesn't like that interpretation.

Right, it doesn't like the interpretation.

But who is saying it doesn't like the interpretation? Wouldn't you be able to say, "I don't like the interpretation"?
