Well, I can see, by the way, as you probably know, it's about 14 minutes or 13 minutes to 6. So we probably should stop within the hour. We don't have that nice expression at the top of the hour. Within the hour. At the top of the hour. But I walked around, of course, to have a feel for the resonant field of each group.

And then as an example of contextual time the practitioner sees if he or she can find a way to enter a resonant field of time. And basically the six paramitas of the bodhisattva are practices to establish a resonant field. And the four Brahmaviharas, the divine abodes, are even very particularly how to establish a resonant field.

Divine abodes. Divine abodes. Okay, now let's start again. Anyway, so maybe tomorrow I can give you the practice, if you like, maybe you're all so familiar with it, of the divine abodes. I mean clearly you're all divine but maybe you're not ready for the abode yet okay so let's at least sit for a moment In the resonant field of our divine abode.
