This session explores the futility of seeking fulfillment in time and thought, inviting participants to taste the peace already present by putting down the search. Dialogues address the distinction between gradual evolution and immediate awakening, the mechanics of getting lost in thought versus seeing thought as thought, and how fear and sensation drive mental contraction. A soon-to-be father's vulnerability leads to reflections on equanimity, the reality of fear, and the difference between the fear that ends and the natural fears of being human.
