Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

I’m leaving in just over a week to be with my dying dad. He left us when I was 6 and I didn’t see him again until I was 31. Something I’m aware of is a programme acquired around not being enough and things being my fault and I’ve wondered recently if this comes from a small child’s mind creating associations and innocent beliefs about that situation. I would like to directly ask my dad if he left...

Email 1 I am loving the ‘do the thing’  theme  and have a question that I hope you can help as I sense that at the root of this will be a huge shift. My father and I have had a difficult relationship for many years and we maintain the peace by keeping our conversations fairly superficial and avoid any ’sticky’ subjects. I call him every week to 10 days and notice myself getting uptight leading up...

'What was your revelation of no free will?' Listener question

Thank you again for a insightful conversation we had during 1:1 call. It was a big opener for me as I noticed that till then I misunderstood the principle of thought. I understood that feelings are product of my thinking about circumstance in my life. As i see it now from our conversation, feelings arise from thought (universal energy) and there comes feeling. For that feeling,  we then look outsi...

The Myth of Normal by Gabor Maté (part 1) Sunday Book

if we keep heading into and even appreciating the suffering, surely we’ll just keep finding ever more of it. In your mind that’s a good thing (!), in my mind ‘why would you want to ruin every day looking for more experiences of suffering?’ Why not choose to spend your time looking for all the obvious beauty, love and joyful moments instead? It seems to me we get more of what we focus on….? I guess...

'Who f**king cares?' Listener comment on a post about free will

I listened to a Syd Banks talk in which he said we have the free will to use our thinking in any way we liked. He said if someone argues with you that they don’t have free will, they are using their free will to argue with you.

You talk a lot of a witness. If there is no separate self or part of us that is separate, isn’t a witness only another creation of the mind?  How can we be a witness to feelings, thoughts or behaviours and be present and whole in the moment? Wouldn’t it mean that when we’re witnessing, we’re creating separation within ourselves?

The topic of calling in sick at work more than other people do.. Followed by guilt, and waiting for annoyed reactions of the people who get affected by this. Today I am sick for the second time this month. I called in sick, got an annoyed reply and started to be scared about not being good enough, eventually loosing my job and everyone gossiping about me. All those thoughts about am I just too wea...

A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere,  as long as it stays inside the maze. Margaret Atwood

Hi Clare, I have a question about the 'do the thing' thing.😂 This is quite a topic at the moment in the group and also you mentioned it in one Play video again in the context of looking for a good feeling.  I get the concept intellectually, and I also 'do the thing' for many years now, about seven or so, I feel the sensations, survive the thing, and on it goes again. Next time...

Is what we are talking about dangerous? 

Dear Clare I wonder if you could shed some light on the area of indecisiveness. I have been in a relationship for around 18 months  and for about the last 6 months am unsure whether to continue with it or not. I seem to change my mind on this constantly. It’s a push pull feeling and I watch my mind go back and forward with the dilemma. I am going around in circles and I feel like I am 50/50 and un...

A brief summary of this episode

A quick report. I have listened to snippets of Play and some of this weeks webinar. It’s all been too much to take on. I have had a deadline to meet this month ending next Friday. Completing paintings for an exhibition. I’ve been overwhelmed and gripped by fear. Im “trying” to remain calm and feel comfortable with being in the space where I am feeling shaken, swamped and inadequate. Completing tas...

I seem to have got myself to a point where I am asking myself, simply...what is the purpose of life?  Why bother?  If all I am is awareness, what is the point? Why put up with the hassle of everyday existence?  I'm alive now, doing what I do, then at some point, I won't be! It's inevitable.  People come, people go.    In amongst all the emotions of the Queen's dying, I was prom...

Many spiritual people are involved in a radical denial of what is happening. They want to transcend it, get rid of it, get out of it, get away from it. There's nothing wrong with that feeling, but the approach doesn't work because it's escapism in spiritual clothing. It's wearing spiritual clothing and spiritual concepts, but it is really no different than a drunk in the gutter...

Thank you for all your amazing courses.  I continue to listen and learn every day and am finding what you teach invaluable in so many ways.  I was listening to your podcast a couple of days ago entitled 'resistance, acceptance and choice' and the idea of ultimate accountability resonates with me (this also links with the story you told about the young girl working with Byron Katie who sa...

If there is no doer how does anything get done? And why do you suggest doing things like therapy or no-brainers. 

Resistance, acceptance and choice

In the 3 principles understanding, it's seen we feel our thinking in the moment - is this also part of your teaching and if it isn't what do you see that's different? Thank you.
