Wha Tsin Aname Haha, love the emptiness flanking.
This question arises within a context of Buddhist practice.

HH just observe them. One will eventually see their arising and
disappearance, thus their nature.

Soh To be realized as they are. We do not realize and experience the five
skandhas for what they are because we relate to them in terms of conceived inherent
self and things, subject and object. That is why pointers like Bahiya Sutta leads
realizing no behind self/agent/seer besides the seen/heard/cognized, otherwise
nothing direct. When insight of anatta arises, the aggregates are self-seen. Then
you can look into its impermamence and unsatisfactoriness as well. Then apply
emptiness to all constructs and objects (but this must not be done only at a
mental/intellect level but through applying this insight of anatta in direct
vipassana, so that there is both the realizing/piercing through of deluded
constructs and the releasing into direct touch of energies/sensations free from
imputation).
e.g.
"We may think we can touch a visible object, but when there is "touching", what
appears? It may be hardness, softness, heat, cold, motion or pressure. A visible
object, that which appears through the eye door, can't be touched, it can only be
seen. When a visible object is touched, it becomes a tangible object appearing
through the sense-door of the body, being a completely different experience from
that of a visible object. Seeing and touching can't appear at the same time; they
appear one at a time, at different moments.
It is the elements of mind which may connect up the two experiences to relate to
a certain thing, but again that process of nama is another series of different
"conditioned realities" arising and falling away one at a time; it is not Self. When
we touch a table it is not the table which appears, but a tangible object or an
experience of hardness, etc. At the moment hardness appears, there is only hardness
and the "experience of hardness"; there is no table in hardness, there is no Self in
hardness. If the rupa which appears is not realised as it is, (i.e., not Self) one
is bound to cling to it as happening to him.
We may think of the concept "table", but thinking and formulating concepts are
different conditioned phenomena altogether from those of hardness and the experience
of hardness, etc.
If there is no mindfulness of the characteristics of nama (feeling, perception,
thinking, mental moods, and consciousness) as they arise one at a time, we fall into
the delusion of a Self who experiences. Rupas arise through the body senses---eye,
ear, nose, tongue, and body. Namas arise only through the mind-door. They are all
conditioned and not Self. If one still thinks it is "I" who experiences these
phenomena of matter and mind, he has still not developed any insight."
