Greetings, everyone.

Lovely to be with you in this moment in time.

And I'm delighted to be continuing to explore together the five aggregates,

teaching this important teaching by the Buddha, the five condas, the five heaps,

five constituents of our experience.

That our experience, the way we perceive, the way we feel the world are in the world,

know ourselves as being human and our experience of reality is really made up of these five constituents,

nothing else. So it's quite profound, quite profound.

And by bringing awareness to these aspects, we become more awake in as to how this is made,

how this sketched out of our experience, this happens often unconsciously.

So we discussed our Rupa first day, Rupa body the first day.

And the second day we explored, read enough or feeling tone, pleasant and pleasant neutral.

And today we're going to spend more time with recognition, perception, Sanya.

And before we move to Sanya, there was a question in chat that I noticed afterwards,

that I wanted to address regarding Vedina that came up yesterday.

So there was a question, and this actually comes up for a lot of practice.

And so I appreciate the question coming in that sometimes it feels like the feeling tone,

pleasant unpleasant or neither pleasant or unpleasant, but usually these two pleasant unpleasant seem very strong,

seem very intense and sometimes they they feel mild.

So is that different? Is that what's what's up with that?
