Teacher's note on suitability: crucial note: it is highly unlikely that this talk will be properly or adequately understood without a prior very good working familiarity and competence both in actual practice and conceptually with soulmaking dharma teachings and practices, as well as with insight meditation. without this background it may be that the talk will in fact be misunderstood, and it is unlikely that the talk will be helpful. please note too that much of the material in this series of talks ( in psyche's orchard ) is based on or continues explorations of material laid out in a particular previous series ( four circles, four parables of stone and light ). in psyche's orchard was recorded by rob at his home.
