Apologies for the occasional audio hiccups. :|

Though, on the upside, it is quite amusing that it blipped just as Stephen began discussing cessation ;).

Wherein I host Stephen and Andrés for a wide-ranging discussion and sharing of perspectives covering jhāna, Brahmavihārās, comparisons with psychedelic states, and the journey to and from the Absolute.

Enjoy!
