Thank you for your replay Mato.
On the issue of labels, to use or not to use. I think there are good points and bad points to be made for each case. Perhaps it may help guide us, early on, like a finger pointing at the moon, perhaps there is a danger that we become trasnfixed on the finger (the words), and forget the moon (what it is that the words attempt to describe). Always though, I think it is for the individual to choose for themselves, what is appropriate for them.
I wasn't trying to make a big point about this in my post though, just highlighting that it was a real thing, and had an energy about it, and that I didn't really know what to call it. Maybe it's not so important.
On reflection, it may have well done me favours, and I can say that I have improved my lot in life, certainly in terms of who I am, a better person I feel to be.
On these theme, I can see how other (more mundane) things in life have happened to me, that have been something of a kick up the bum, and that it's only when we experience a lot of pain, and discomfort, that we are most motivated to do, or to change something.
It's quite refreshing too, for me, because it kinda makes the universe look like a less hostile and terrifying place.
Thank you once again.
