Body investigation: nobody wants to hear about it but you first need to investigate the body before investigating the mind; Belief: some people believe consciousness arise in the brain but when you've practiced enough, you see intentions arise first in the citta before being processed by the brain; Being around us: we can't see them so we assume they don't exist; Hell: at the time of death, we are the one to see our faults and send us to Hell; Human birth: it's the jumping board to ge out of the cycle of birth and death; Finding some happiness in your life is not so difficult with meditation, but breaking out of the cyle requires a lot of effort; Body contemplation technics; Bad actions: at first, we feel bad but after a few times, it becomes a habit; People who have been in the present moment think it's the ultimate paradise; Kamma of suicide: you go to Hell and you develop a tendency for the next human lifes.
