The key to our greater sanity and love begins with how we receive our world—how we sense it and how we process it. Maybe we wonder: How do we let the world become and enemy… or a friend?

Meditators have looked at this question for 2,600 years and say with complete confidence that you can see for yourself how all your joys and fears rise and fall. Discover for yourself how this investigation can restore our relationship to the world and heal our connection with natural goodness and wisdom.

We will cover:

• The ayatanas (the senses)—Talk about interesting! Introduce yourself to how sense perceptions either brighten our world or get snared by thoughts and habits.
• The skandha system—how a thought or impression grows into likes or dislikes, hopes or fears. 2,600 years of meditation reportage breaks it down for us to see how to stay awake, joyful and sane.
• Fear and the birth of ego—how the mirror of meditation helps us to lead a good human life.
