Doesn't God create balance for all things. Does 'I' have a good side too? 22:25 - Can't all the abilities we achieve through meditation just be achieved by contemplating and studying the Dhamma. When we contemplate, we also gain understanding? 25:33 - What are some things that can speed up our practice besides flying hours, viriya, and parami? 28:04 - How do we prove selflessness (Anatta) through meditation?
