Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

Exploring how a self that must be protected and defended and loved will always encounter people that threaten the identity. Seeing who we really are means there is nothing to defend. Toxic people disappear. The body, of course, will move away from physical harm. 

Exploring how the idea that I am in control of my  behaviour, thoughts and experiences is essentially the same belief as I am not in control. 

Exploring how self blame is a separation from reality, while the understanding that there is no free will creates completeness and present responsibility. 

Exploring why potential can never have anything to do with the idea of who we are, how it is revealed in the absence of any idea. 

An unusual topic today - exploring the unconditional love from a pet and what this can tell us about human relationships 

Exploring the attempt to secure ourselves by controlling the people or the world we see around us and why that will never work. 

Exploring why physical and mental health symptoms would ramp up when the self identity is questioned and how all peace and freedom is realised right there. 

Desire can be the separation out of this moment. And it looks like the way to go with this conversation is turning away from all form. But actually the opposite is true, life is the desireless immersion and playful expression. 

Life can seem to be about trying to make sure all  conditions are met so that we can be happy and fulfilled. But when it becomes clear that conditions are never ending, that search falls away and the true unconditional nature of being is revealed.  

Exploring how the objectified I is  never real and as that dissolves it leaves a lightly held concept that is simply part of expression. 

Exploring how for the self that is seeking freedom, peace and happiness there is no point in this conversation. In fact it is torture for that self. Yet what this conversation points to is the only realisation of freedom, peace and happiness. 

Exploring how there is no 'I' in the body, the body is in the 'I'. 

Exploring why all the emotions, thoughts, feelings and symptoms that we have been trying to avoid might get worse in this exploration...

Exploring what it actually means to 'be realistic' - and it isn't the superficial, unquestioned belief in an objective reality... 

Exploring how the limit of any teacher is the extent to which a belief has become a position to defend. 

The unimaginable - that there is no controlling self making life happen - becomes the only possibility. 

Exploring how realisation of who we are makes it clear that realisation of who we are is not necessary...! 

Exploring why there is nothing the self can do to access greater wisdom. 

Exploring how a genuine exploration of reality is full immersion and nothing to do with dissociation or denial.

Exploring how nothing exists in the way it is believed to exist. 

Exploring how intimacy has nothing to do with proximity or time. 

Exploring how nothing is personal. Even though it looks like it is. 

Exploring the compelling refuge, distraction and apparent order of stories and how ultimately the self is absent of all story. 

Exploring how trying to find peace through making sure that only the 'right' emotions, thoughts and circumstances are experienced is hiding the true peace of our being. 

Exploring how the lightening of the idea of self allows for a transformation in the body.
