In this episode Andrew recalls his experiences when attending a 10 day Vipassana Meditation course. The frustration of concentration development, the nature of seeing the path, and perception expansion experiences, are all described in detail. The difference between thinking and feeling, processing thought content and the nature of desire are also insights we discuss, which are simple enough, but hard to realise on a deep level.

In this episode we discuss the three key factors to the heroes journey. The call is the call to action, and makes itself known in many subtle and obvious ways. The arrow is the direction of motivation, the path, the process and builds itself out of a string of calls. The door is ever present and immediate.
