the expression in his face, you can tell that he doesn't know
whether he's chewing on dog poop, cherry pie, or what, . And it
takes about a good three or four seconds of chewing before the
qualities of sweetness and cheeriness, get conceptualized, and he's
able to break into a smile and go, umm, like that. That's what Ithought
about when I read your teaching where you say in
recognizing awareness, the tendency to identify exclusively with
mental labels relaxes. We experience the warmth of the sun
directly rather than through the label it's a nice day. I mean, we all
go around all day long, how are you, nice day, we don't actually,
right?
SCOTT KILOBY: Yes, I think that part of that is a like being aware
of the sensory and emotional experience more fully in our
experience instead of always collapsing it straight down into a
concept. Although the concepts are fine too, it's fine to say it's a
nice day, I just think that my tendency was always to live so much
in the labels that I forgot that part of the nice day is literally the
sun beating down on my skin and the warmth, the raw sensation
of that. There's so much to our experience that's so full that when
we collapse everything down and just stay only in the viewpoints
we kind of, it feels like we miss out on part of our experience, the
fullness of our experience.

TRIP: You give a lot of stuff away on that website for free, Scott,

things that really blew me away before I just get…
WIZARD: You usually have a tough question. [Laughter]
