Most of us live our lives in mental concepts. Our good and bad values are more of a mental construct fed or programmed by our culture or society. These mental concepts become a great obstacle to direct experience of truth. Every concept restricts the flow of consciousness. Our mind gets attached and identified with many such concepts and eventually is in chaos!
Concept is static it’s got a label. For instance a bird or a tree once conceptualized and labeled in our minds it stops flowing in our perception, in other words it dies to our perception and gets disconnected from our being. It becomes static…it becomes a thought and not feel anymore. We somehow don’t perceive or feel its flow or its ever changing property. Other good example would be the river, once we give it a name or label and put it in a box it loses its flow. In our minds we just have it as a static dead object!.. Flow is moment to moment, it has to be experienced beyond our conceptions of our mind, and at that point truth is perceived.
Our concepts and labels filter out the truth or direct seeing. Our perception is devoid of truth, when perceived through mind it is colored and limited. Our own identification and clinging limits our perception. Once we get to see beyond our mental constructs, belief systems, concepts, clinging, attachments etc in other words once we get to see beyond our mind we are subject to direct seeing, or direct experiencing of truth. You become the truth. Reality is one and concepts are many!
