00:00 How can we learn to play with dependent origination? The five aggregates; where does the self come from?

03:58 Contact is where feelings arise; wisely we can choose; everything is fluid and we can change

08:36 Tanha, upādāna, woeful states; wisdom at the point of contact; working with feelings

10:31 Watching how we feel and figuring out how we got there; taking control

17:11 Developing right effort through seclusion; the difference between vedanā and upādāna

21:37 Choosing ignorantly; not letting liking become wanting; not going into a woeful state

27:50 What kind of thoughts am I having? Attitude; ānāpānasati modifies paticcasamuppāda

34:04 You can feel the way you want to feel - if you remember

38:24 Turning around to the past instead of being in the moment and being OK right now
