Questions are précised. Q1 I heard you say energy is there before effort. Can you expand on this? Q2 08:14 Can you elaborate on citta and consciousness? Q3 26:49 Teachers have taught us about the slow effacement of the self. You’re teaching us to fully embody us. I am confused.

Questions are précised. 00:36 Q1 In your way of speaking awareness is not vinyana. What are the other Pali terms would you use for it? Is it related to citta or nibbana? 20:32 Q2 How to know the heart in the heart? 37:35 Q3 You've explained how the mind creates forms and that we need to see through these delusions.

How to avoid getting lost in concepts? 48:06 Q5 What's the difference between rights and rituals one should give up and those that seem to be part of monastic life.
