The definition of “insist” is;
“demand something forcefully, not accepting refusal.“ or
“ demand forcefully to have something.” or
“ persist in doing something even though it is annoying or odd.”
When one says “He insists upon himself” It means they’re are requiring of you to put more effort in understanding their Ambiguousness.
For example, when Jesus Christ tells parables or Socrates ask questions; they are insisting upon themselves, they’re requiring of you to do some thinking in order to understand what’s being taught, instead of giving you literal messages of their rhetoric.

Like in Family Guy, S9, Ep.17; Peter Griffin In thinking his family is going to die, expresses his true feels on the God Father movies
Brian: “Why didn’t like it?”
Lois: “explain yourself”
Peter Griffin: “it insists upon its self, Lois”
Lois: “what does that even mean”
Chris: “cause it has a valid point to make! It’s insisting!”
Chris hits the nail on the head, it’s trying to make a point, it has a message, so it insists upon you to pay attention and think. Peter doesn’t like the film because it’s subtle and doesn’t hold your hand like other films do; telling you what’s going on and having tons of exposition so your not lost.. in other words, Peter is moron who can’t pay attention and has poor deductive skills so he doesn’t understand what’s going on in the film, therefore doesn’t like it.
