00:00:00 Power as a proxy for safety and security
00:06:01 Magical thinking and power
00:07:47 Levels of organisation and ideology; how do we treat ourselves?
00:15:03 Power and religion; the golden rule; treat people the way they want to be treated
00:18:21 Running power trips on ourselves; sankhāra; gladdening the mind
00:25:50 Everything starts in the mind; things are not dangerous
00:28:32 A joke about marriage; critical thinking vs. nurturing; punishment vs. rehabilitation
00:35:32 Approaching family conflict through friendship; teasing
00:39:53 Delayed gratification; trying and playing; it’s complicated but I’ll get it
00:47:20 Consciousness constricts to the things we want
00:55:31 Intellectual understanding; attitude; playing close attention to our thoughts so we can make a change
01:00:40 Share the practice with a smile
