Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

Introducing a new mini-series exploring the world of form, self and reality. 

Exploring how looking to the world to categorise right and wrong behaviour only leads to more confusion about what is true and where change can come from. 

Concluded our mini-series exploration into the relationship between self, mind and body. Thanks for listening x 

Exploring how the idea of trying to accept an illness can send us into a tailspin of futility, exhaustion, self-blame and hopelessness. 

Exploring how there is a role for all types of thought, belief and association interventions in the sanity of knowing who we really are. 

Exploring how a diagnosis is only ever a container or frame for reference and information, the flight of imagination it creates is never reality. 

Exploring how an understanding of what is true means that medicine and drugs will be used in response to reality rather than trying to fix confusion. 

Exploring how therapy can be transformational when practiced within an understanding that there is nothing fixed, objective or true in the idea of self, other, past or future. 

Exploring how the understanding that the idea of self is the activity of mind means that techniques like meditation and mindfulness are seen for what we already are. 

Exploring the cycle of eating behaviour and sense of separation. 

Exploring how exercise or body work can seem like a way to secure the self and seek out the 'zone' until it is realised that the self will never be secured and that the zone is what we are already. 

Over the next week or so we are going to look at different practices in relation to the self concept to explore the dynamic between our idea of who we are, the mind and the body. 

Exploring how the self and other are made of the same stuff - just appearing as separate. If you have a topic request please let Clare know on clare@claredimond.com. Or visit the website http://www.claredimond.com Thanks x 

Exploring how the moments of flow and absence of self can be seen as an escape from reality or understood to actually be reality. 

Exploring how detachment is only about intimacy 

Wondering about responsibility when there is no self to control anything. 

Exploring where resolution lies.  

Exploring how talent and ability are nothing to do with an individual separate idea of self. 

Exploring the idea of right and wrong behaviour and how it can take us to an exploration of the ultimate source - ourselves. 

Exploring how gaslighting - psychological manipulation that leads an individual to question their own memories, perceptions or judgement - depends on a confusion about what is real in the first place. 

Exploring today what is perhaps the ultimate fear - fear of our own liberation. 

Exploring how trying to control the world in order to not feel fear is a futile effort. 

Looking at phobias specifically, how they are created and where freedom lies 

Exploring how trying to get out of our own way just creates more confusion. 

Exploring how the need to avoid our worst fears coming true is a powerful motivation but one that is destructive and unnecessary.
