Day One Hundred and Thirty Five

The struggle to name and to categorize and to see with the mind continues. The body is not of the mind, there is a feeling there of touching that is separate from the mind. I must give up some of this strong desire to see things in words.

I understand the idea of looking at bare feeling. But that is the recognition that it is caused by contact; which is caused by sense base and object. I see that touching can be before craving for any state to change. The stone is pleasant or neutral before the mind wraps around that. The body has its own craving separate from mind. Thus it has become a body.
