00:11:46 Knowledge and vision of what is and what is not the path (MN 24 and MN 48)

00:22:49 Go into a state of practiced liking; maintaining your joy and happiness in everyday life

00:31:12 Our duty to the Dhamma is to spread joy; states of avoidance

00:36:41 Polishing the buckle

00:39:02 Direct awareness - seeing without processing; first jhāna is the base camp

00:45:57 Burning by day and smouldering by night; dreams and reality; anchors and habits

00:59:18 Sense anchors; thusness - interrupt habitual processes and find new combinations
