00:00 Intro
00:16 Could you have had an awakening and not know what it was? What is awakening, presence/consciousness, the role of distorting thought reflections.
8:14 Lacking a context in which to place “awakening” experiences or foretastes
9:48 The role of faith, doubt mass, and determination in enlightenment/awakening/realization. Distinguishing faith from “belief.”
17:11 The deep dissatisfaction and suffering (dukkah) that can light a fire to seek authentic, living truth
25:25 Can people with “good” lives and success wake up? The role of brutal honesty and authenticity in self-realization
26:15 Medical professionals, “successful” people and the threat to identity that awakening might represent, the role of surrender and authenticity
28:06 If you start down the path, DON’T STOP (here’s why), dealing with frustration and roadblocks
34:03 The crucial importance of the present moment (rather than thought or stories ABOUT presence), the mind’s time-based hypnosis
37:00 The difference between “experience” and “realization” and the loosening of thought-based identity structures
47:00 Non-duality (no subject-object distinction, just experiencing itself)
49:45 Suffering is the entry point, the role of retreat and surrender
