Re: A curious practitioner
What about the content of thoughts, what they describe?
The content of thoughts describe more thoughts. A thought apple appears, then another thought appears about the thought and this process is continued.
Is there really an ‘apple’ here, or only color and a thought ABOUT ‘apple’?
There is ...

Re: A curious practitioner
1. Is one truer than the other, and If so, which one?
Describing experience without "I" is truer, as it has less stories attached.
2. What is here without labels?
Awareness, that notices/experiences through sense organs
3. Do labels affect the experience or just describe it?
