4:27--"If your psycho-physiological system assumes that all the danger you were subject to once is still present in the environment, it will set you on edge as if you are walking on dangerous territory." Would it be inaccurate to say, "psyche", instead of, "psycho-physiological system"? Sure would be more efficient! hehehe...The "environment", as a term, has problematic resonances; "the external world" is more unequivocal of a term. But, "set you on edge as if you are walking on dangerous territory", describes "awareness" rather well! I don't see any reason for the psyche to "assume" that all the dangerous experience you've ever had is on the verge of being re-had, so to speak. That's the operation of "fear". The memory of dangerous experience previously encountered is a living thing in a practical sense, in that it is available to "ping", to recall into being resonantly. The choice available to awareness is to recall or not recall, knowing recollection would require the psyche to reenact the experience, to whatever degree necessary or possible. As recollection plays on the screen of imagination, the body responds as if the recalled experience is occurring presently! "On edge" is a description of an emotional state of acute readiness, which, in itself, is not undesirable. However, the attendant tension is rather less desirable, especially as it tends to increase. There is an implication, here, that if you deeply reexperience a memory while being completely--COMPLETELY--physically relaxed, the connection to the body in the memory may be reduced to a degree...so it doesn't "ping" too forcefully, too easily, too quickly.

1:03:00--"Apprehend the vision with your feelings"! There's two ways to take this, depending on what "feelings" are. Firstly, observe something, identity it, then, if desired, "remember" the "experience" of it...go into it--what does it smell like, feel like, sound like--extend the physical senses, imaginatively, to contact it! The second interpretation supposes "feelings" refers to "awareness", "vision" to "intention", and "apprehend" to "observe", or "attention". This latter interpretation might be peculiar to my personal perspective.
