[0:00] It's really opening a window.
[0:02] Is what we're doing in retreat the first
[0:04] few days especially. Opening a window.
[0:07] Uh
[0:10] And just know that it's it's kind of
[0:12] tricky for the mind to track how this
[0:14] goes here.
[0:16] Meaning your your thoughts can tell you
[0:18] anything about what's happening.
[0:20] Uh
[0:21] Don't worry about it.
[0:23] Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter what you

[1:04] insights.
[1:06] Much much more auspicious in terms of
[1:09] shifts.
[1:11] And awakening.
[1:13] If that's
[1:15] what you're oriented toward awakening,
[1:16] your first awakening.
[1:19] That first
[1:21] clear insight into the nature of being.
[1:25] Um this is a very auspicious time for
[1:27] you.
[1:28] And doesn't matter if your thoughts are
[1:29] saying oh I haven't done I haven't gone
[1:31] anywhere. I'm more confused than before.
[1:34] I'
