00:00 Enjoying walking meditation; experience and the self; nouns and verbs
11:52 Arising and passing away of the self-concept; dukkha and protecting the self
16:02 Jhānas are not something for the self to attain; raw experience and processed experience
19:23 A computer analogy; just receiving data; flickering sensations and fourth jhāna as a way of looking
25:30 Paticcasamuppāda (dependent origination) consciousness and database matching; salāyatana, processing, thinking
31:45 Sampling rate; always in the past; fast thinking - stopping and taking more data
37:09 Answers as separation and confusion; happily ignorant; the nun’s habit
42:11 Fourth jhāna; arūpa-jhānas: “mental” jhānas; magic; “infinite” is a bad translation; boundary-less
45:39 “Infinite space” - the boundaries in space don’t exist; direct experience is not magical
47:54 “Infinite consciousness” - consciousness has no boundary; a flood of data
48:41 The experience of sensation fades away and becomes less solid
50:00 “Neither perception nor non-perception” and “nothingness” - processing and dukkha
