AM - Working Directly with the citta

|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Puja means to praise or offer the heart to that which is worthy. It’s a going forth of citta from the habits. Citta is not in the head, it’s not a thought. It’s much more direct. Citta gets obscured, but we can clear this by staying with awareness, breathing through blocks, and sustaining the bodily presence. The body gives awareness a foundation; an open heart gives awareness the willingness to be with this process.

Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Body can be experienced in multiple ways - physical, perceptual, somatic, and energetic. In this light, body is an experience rather than a thing. It plays out in meditation. It’s important to establish a more accurate body, clear of perceptual taints and distortions, biases and kammic impositions.

AM - Detox - clearing the ‘Business Model’
52:52
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Conditioning of the business model - performance, achievement, self-criticism - drives us up into our head. Purification of the unskilful, of self-hood, is possible. It’s accomplished through awareness and energy. Balancing yin (receptive) and yang (driving) energies in the body resets our system, easing the compulsive self that has been formed personally and energetically.

1. Can a stream enterer lose contact with the Dhamma? 2. (1:47) Can non-Buddhists become stream enterers? 3. (12:12) Should we observe defilements or cultivate wisdom to get rid of them? 4.

PLEASE NOTE: 'The Mirrored Gates' is a set of talks (recorded by Rob from his home) attempting to clarify, elaborate on, and open up further the concepts, practices, and possibilities explained in previous talks on imaginal practice. Some working familiarity with those previous teachings will provide a helpful foundation for this new set; but a good understanding of and experiential facility with practices of emptiness, samatha, the emotional/energy body, metta, and mindfulness is necessary and presumed, without which these new teachings may be confusing and difficult to comprehend.
