Listen "Culadasa March 2018 Patreon Q&A"
Episode Synopsis
Timestamps:
2:24 - Could you comment on [fire kasina or trataka] practice and say whether or not you see it as useful, in particular for working on TMI stages?
19:51 - Is there anything you retain from [your earlier Advaita Vedanta and TM practice] that you found beneficial to you on the path that you'd like to share? What are your thoughts in general on supplemental meditative practices outside of our regular TMI practice?
26:30 - Is it allowed to apply the techniques of a higher stage to achieve the goals of a lower one?
33:15 - How do right effort and equanimity fit together?
48:36 - Why do you think that those functional aspects of the mind -- information exchange and reflexive quality -- solve the hard problem of consciousness? Is your reasoning in this area intellectual, based on philosophical or scientific understanding, or rather based on the insight you've had into the ultimate nature of the mind?
57:46 - [Stage 5 practitioner describes meditative driving practice.] What do you think of this approach and is there a better way to support my practice while I am driving?
