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
