Getting to Know the Mind

Last Updated on July 15, 2026 by Matthew Sockolov This week’s talk builds on some talks in previous weeks (Papañca and Creating Conditions for Wisdom to Arise). The focus here is on getting to know the mind in its natural state. When we are constantly intervening in meditation, we don’t get to see how the mind behaves naturally. In this talk, I cover the benefits of getting to know the mind, what gets in the way, and how we can work toward practicing in a way that supports insight.
