Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

How come we don't do or have what we think we want to do or have ? 

A brief summary of this episode

Can you please do a podcast on listening to others while our own dialogue is happening. Even though I am aware of it, it is so easy to get caught up in it.

Listener question: what slightly confuses me is this ... i see that our nervous system is the thing that tells us we are in or out of capacity right - and so if it is constantly in freeze then its tell me i'm out of capacity somehow - its not that the nervous system is flawed or needs re-programming because thats just the 'alarm' isnt it  or can it be 'broken' and not resp...

Listener question: I have a scattered mind. How do I calm it down to do boring tasks?

Listener question: So if the selfing patterns are established over years of habitual thinking (Neurons that fire together wire together) does it require a certain amount of willpower to not slip into these patterns? Or is willpower an activity of the self as well? You often speak of beliefs and behaviours falling away, does this happen through witnessing patterns and staying with uncomfortable fee...

Still have to look into it more. I feel a sense of where you are pointing at but my head is busy with it. It is like when I am teaching Dutch. I just do Dutch all the time. Now I have to explain Dutch I go deeper in that language and my head is busy with the rules and I get confused about the language I just do when I am not teaching/thinking about it. Love Ingrid

Listener question: I'm wondering if you could guide me in some way.  I have financial difficulties so I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself in the area of work.  I have insecurity issues which tie into this.  In particular I wanted to ask you about feeling insecure around certain clients.  I see that I feel less than them and then tend to have panic attacks with them.  I can see that i...

Someone said to me 'I feel like I can't trust anyone'. Let's look at that...

A brief summary of this episode

Listener question: I think resentment comes about as I have to suppress rage all the time. It’s a very disempowering place to be in as a woman. Aren’t we colluding with thousands of years of suppression of female power/rage when we say it’s all our own creation, therefore all our own fault? 

Somehow, you made the jump from the three principles to this non dual approach. I suspect insight was part of your early and later experiences. Yet, I would love to know more about your evolution.  Reading “Real” and listening to this course and the “Real” Course did not give me the clue as to your initial moments and how you jumped over the gap between traditional 3 P to non - dual inside out.  

I struggle many days with trying to fill a void that in reality doesn't exist. Searching from the outside to make me feel whole on the inside. Depending on others to bring me happiness that never comes. I need more help to become happy within myself.  Any ideas to share with me?

A brief summary of this episode

Could you podcast on whether there’s a connection between seemingly separate pieces of learning.  Can learning/conditioning be compartmentalised or is it like the skeleton; ‘the hip bone’s connected to the thigh bone’ etc.  And if they are connected, might attention on one ‘area’ of conditioning shine light on other areas, gradually or suddenly revealing the whole structure of the made-up self eve...

Listener question: what is separation and the mirror? 

Can i just ask for a heads up ... i have done your Change and Stress courses .... i am observing things in the way you suggest ... i notice i am suddenly freaking out big time because i have a tiny kitten arriving ... this feels like a huge thing for me as i already live in a hoarders chaos and find it so hard to manage things in the material form  i am really worried that this is just me ADDING t...

Listener question: Thank you for the stress course, unfortunately, I have taken a break from this one.  It amazes me I have never found this before but STRESS has really hit home, which I know is not a bad thing but has put me in a much more cautious ​mood and I have stalled at day 16.  I do hope to go back to the course and am confident that I will continue.   I can only offer this as evidence th...

Listener question: There's appreciation for this opening up and suddenly a sadness that there are many statements that seem like clarity that, if shared, may spark confrontation for the listener. I imagine that you aren't coaching all people all the time in your life and that you maybe have close loved ones who are very much in the world of free will exists and a self is the doer - do yo...

Looking at Dr Gabor Maté's quote:  “A therapist once said to me, “If you face the choice between feeling guilt and resentment, choose the guilt every time.” It is wisdom I have passed on to many others since. If a refusal saddles you with guilt, while consent leaves resentment in its wake, opt for the guilt. Resentment is soul suicide. Negative thinking allows us to gaze unflinchingly on our...

Listener question: what can I do about my children's mental health? 

Listener question: I work for the NHS. So we are basically asked, on a continual basis, to ‘ fit a quart into a pint pot’ . So that is a ‘form’ problem, with a solution- another pint pot. But that is not on offer, and it is not an option to say it’s not possible and walk away, because the patients will suffer. So not sure how I can help colleagues , it looks intrinsically stressful, not just ‘ our...

Listener question: Just wasn’t clear how the cleaning up happens.  Is it the seeing, or transparency, that does the cleaning up?  I guess that’s what’s implied in your podcast, but thought I’d check if that’s what you mean. For me, every action can be seen/interpreted as self playing out, but perhaps this cleaning up subtly changes actions over time.

Listener question: I am worried about my mental health

Listener question: I listened to your podcast this morning. This concept of freeing ourselves from the illusion of the self to 'be what we really are' is something I find difficult to understand. Is it even possible to know 'what we really are' without some underpinning of what we mean by 'we'? If my concept of my 'self' - complete with all its baggage and c...
