What happens when I analyze others’ ideas without directly experiencing them? I don’t find it easy to explain metaphors and symbols while staying disconnected from the realities they represent. But why?

Are there different types of fear? I think about how my anxiety is tied to specific situations or fears of the future. But then there’s this other kind of fear, a vague unease that arises when I face reality itself.

A thousand dreams that would awake me—different colors made of tears.

What changes when I look at these different kinds of fear? One type responds to treatment and reassurance, while the other feels unapproachable since it lacks a specific cause or trigger.

How do some ideas resonate with me, depending on my state? What feels insightful to me might seem pointless to someone else. The exact words can hold completely different meanings to me.

Isn’t my urge to grasp these explanations worth questioning? I rush to interpret and understand everything, turning my experiences into ideas. What gets lost in this process?

Everybody sees you’re blown apart; everybody sees the wind blow…

When I shift from experiencing directly to analyzing, what transforms? A teacup becomes a symbol, leaves turn into thoughts, and swirling represents my mental activity. While these “meanings” can be helpful, they might also create a barrier between me and my direct experience.

Perhaps everyone could recognize the movement toward explanation and the invitation to just be here. Everyone can know the mind that seeks to understand through concepts and the awareness that knows directly, without anyone and anything filtering.

You are always welcome.
