The talks and exercises from this 'Tending the Holy Fire' retreat are intended for experienced practitioners who already have a working familiarity with this particular Soulmaking paradigm, as outlined, for example, in the following retreats: 'The Path of the Imaginal (Longer Course)'; 'Re-enchanting the Cosmos: The Poetry of Perception'; and 'Of Hermits and Lovers: The Alchemy of Desire'. Integrating that previous material and also taking the talks in this new set in their intended order will, for most, support a better and fuller understanding of the teachings from this course. Without this practice and knowledge base, the material from this retreat may be confusing and unhelpful.

1. Could you say more about the citta? 2. (6:47) I believe you suggested this (the conditions for the citta to understand) is where things have to be undone. Could you explain this please? 3. (31:10) Could you talk about “the patience that crosses over”? 4. (44:00) If you know someone who is very dishonest and a Buddhist, what is the most appropriate way to interact?

A lot of the Buddhist approach is in not doing - relaxing, softening, and relinquishing harmful and unskilful inclinations. Establish a firm foundation from which to let go. Don’t get fascinated by content, just establish the frame of reference. Everything is “yes” in terms of its existence, but “no” in terms of getting activated by it. Just acknowledging and letting go, recognizing there’s an alternative, and the energy of the activation shifts by itself and discharges.

1. Further comments on spherical experience of the breath and the experience of the body; 2. (19:43) What is the role of metta bhavana in practice?; 3. (47:32) If the body energy and breath have settled should one proactively introduce an object or wait for an object to present itself?; 4. (48:44) Is it important to be grounded all the time?
