A detailed description of each link in dependent origination with advice and encouragement for coming out of the cycle of delusion. Start by working on avijjā, ignorance. Step out of the speed and blur of conditioning that causes pressure. Once stopped, attention can shift, and something else becomes available. Release from pressure is now possible. [57:58] How do you find mental stability? Citta is what is affected. We can use the body to affect citta with signs of ground, stability and space.

That which can be liberated is citta – sometimes translated as mind, heart, awareness. The gateway to citta is feeling. “All dhammas converge on feeling.” But mental feeling is chronically suppressed or ignored because it’s inconvenient. If we enter citta appropriately we have access to that which is deeply agreeable – patience, compassion, goodwill. As a result of this sympathetic resonance, citta can be stimulated to wake up to its own potential. Citta is the only one that can liberate citta.
