Ajahn Sucitto
Q1 In some sessions I find my self repeatedly lightly dreaming and then waking after a few seconds. How can I deter this? 25:46 Q2 If the mind has been trained to engage in either zero or 100% and knows very little of the in-between, how would one engage the mind via the body to find the middle path? 29:03 Q3 Can you say more about becoming as a cause for suffering?

2026-02-10 Cultivating direct animate experience with Q&A 45:47
Ajahn Sucitto
The recording starts with Ajahn describing the word cultivation and his suggestions as to how one can cultivate the most direct animate experience we have? Q1 06:53 Why do you make the distinction between the heart and the body? Can you elucidate the qualities of the heart please? Q2 13:06 I've read that the refuge is an awakening to reality because the unconditioned is reality. How do we awaken to the unconditioned? Is it not unformed and unoriginated? 24:38 Q3 how to answer the angel question what is the meaning of life? What do you believe our purpose is as human beings? 27:48 Q4 I detach when confronted by emotions avoid, suppress, don't discuss. What do you recommend to facilitate reconnection and healing. A related question: There's been a lot of mention of dissociated or dispassionate reactions. Is not a big risk of becoming detached and disassociated from life? 34:53 Q5 How can I manage equanimity when in the midst of raw grief, pain etc I'm left rudderless at sea. 40:52 Q6 You mentioned parami satta. Can you review them please?
