2017-12-26 Morning Instructions: Awakening to Reality 49:37
Ajahn Sucitto
Reality is the witnessing and getting perspective on the changeability and relativity of existence. Begin to recognize kamma (causes and effects) and where it goes, and the “me” package.

2017-12-25 Sensing with Soul (Part 5) 1:13:40
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.

2017-12-25 Revisiting Walking Instructions: Inner dialogue of the body 7:57
Ajahn Sucitto
The soles of the feet are incredibly sensitive, like receptors. Notice when the foot comes to the ground, the sole wakes up: this is firm, this is reliable, space around me. Walking like this is agreeable. (file edit 2023)

2017-12-25 The Khandha, me and Existence 60:22
Ajahn Sucitto
The Buddha’s teaching is aimed at liberation from suffering – the way out is through complete abandonment of clinging. Basic remedy is to pause – this is just an organic system operating, there’s nothing wrong with you. It’s not personal. Don’t follow the message of mind consciousness, follow the direct experience of the body.
