Episode notes
Actions Reshape Perception
- Ethical habits reshape perception so the same situation yields different experiences.
- Repeated unskillful actions muddy consciousness and block the wisdom of interconnectedness.
Manage Conditions To Reduce Reactivity
- Notice bodily and situational conditions (niyamas) that make unskillful actions more likely.
- Care for yourself (sleep, food, rest) to reduce reactivity and support wise choices.
Realms As Temporary Mind-States
- The six realms are psychological models of temporary mind-states, not only literal rebirth places.
- They overlap and flash in and out, offering a navigational map for practice.
