00:00:00 Things change at various frequencies; the sweet spot for seeing arising and passing away

00:07:42 The fourth tetrad of ānāpānasati; seeing how reality operates

00:16:06 Knowing that things are worth looking at; being happily curious

00:22:10 Slow and fast thinking; programming our intuitions; training our instincts

00:32:08 How is my sati? Wholesome reflection; data without emotional baggage; salāyatana; sankhāra 

00:43:40 Seeing the process of adding emotions to perceptions; getting the mind fit for work; paticcasamuppāda

00:51:26 Feeling the way we want to feel; the present moment is fine

00:57:38 Looking at the way we frame things; bastardising our data; permission to be unproductive 

01:06:55 The judgmental mind; reorient into this present moment

01:14:56 Doing shorter sessions; staying with the quality of skill development
