2017-12-30 Morning - Wisdom Covers It All 47:43
Ajahn Sucitto
Wisdom makes life more manageable, more fun. We can find how we’re generating stress by knowing feeling: “all dhammas converge on feeling.” Trace activations to their roots, identify the feeling, widen to the place where it isn’t. There is a wider domain to feeling, an end to experiencing feeling, both pleasant and unpleasant.

2017-12-29 Dukkha and Soulmaking (Part 2) 44:04
Rob Burbea
PLEASE NOTE: 'The Mirrored Gates' is a set of talks (recorded by Rob from his home) attempting to clarify, elaborate on, and open up further the concepts, practices, and possibilities explained in previous talks on imaginal practice. Some working familiarity with those previous teachings will provide a helpful foundation for this new set; but a good understanding of and experiential facility with practices of emptiness, samatha, the emotional/energy body, metta, and mindfulness is necessary and presumed, without which these new teachings may be confusing and difficult to comprehend.

2017-12-29 Evening Talk: Wisdom of release 17:15
Ajahn Sucitto
The 10 Fold Path has to do with the development of release. Sometimes we don’t want things to arise, but they can’t be released otherwise. This is a piece of your kamma, the piece that has to be known, felt, opened to and carefully handled. Then it can dissolve.
