00:00:00 Skills that need to be developed: remembering, looking, changing
00:08:10 Music and repetition; mercy, grace, and forgiveness
00:12:06 Noting and despair; the 16 stages of enlightenment; stage 16 is “never mind, start again”
00:16:54 Back to skills; playfulness comes with the expectation of success; taking the right effort to gladden the mind
00:22:17 Steve James and Daniel Ingram on Mahasi noting; any thought can be improved; samma sankappa (right attitude or intention)
00:29:48 Developing confidence; the practice of being a lion, of being in charge
00:33:34 Working with the feelings (vedanā); getting in touch with the senses; mindful walking
00:40:47 We use the mind and body to control the feelings; the fox and the grapes (MN 12); Western passivity
00:51:58 Training in sukha (MN 118); the primary feeling of fear
00:58:51 Comfort: relaxing the body; freedom from fear; safety, security, satisfaction, confidence (piti)
01:04:12 First jhāna and panoramic openness; sustaining the quality of feeling very good; arising and passing away
01:12:27 Everything is a skill to be developed
