Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

re. seeking love, validation & approval. Do you think we can ever be truly free of seeking these things? I know that I need validation & approval far less and I am not looking for it a lot of the time. However there is still a small part of me that wants to be loved, recognised & approved of & despite being present with it when the need arises.Maybe I am asking the wrong question as I am wanting this suffering to end in me , the mind tells me it is wrong to want these human needs

A brief summary of this episode

There is a lot problematic going on in self, life and family of late. It is around mental health, physical health, relationship issues, house problems, slow down of beloved work, end of life care and all within this dark SAD time of year. I could list them all out specifically, yet I’m conscious that wouldn’t be a helpful practice. Very clear signs of overwhelm, stress, depression and anxiety in self are prevalent. In your latest wonderful book you share “moments of suffering are the greatest of gifts in our life’s.”“Enough of the fucking gifts!!!”They say things comes in threes and this is closer to 33. You can these situations in life The Field. I am getting very muddy. I SEE that this is a glorious opportunity to get curious and explore within. # What happens when it just feels endless and totally overwhelming?

How do we account for personality or nature?

A brief summary of this episode

I'm curious about your invitation to sit with the discomfort and bring it in closer, inquire about what is actually real, rather than avoid or numb with distraction. Sometimes I have the where with all to do this yet a lot of the time I can be in brain fog / overwhelm / busy mindedness / emotional reactivity and the distraction of going for a walk, doing Wordle, having sex (I wish more often), jumping in cold water helps my mind settle and I can then more clearly see what is actually real and what needs doing. I see these activities to complement being able to inquire and take a look rather than escapism although I can see it's that too.My question is whether it is alway sensible, realistic, even desirable to expect oneself to have the wherewithal to stay with the discomfort and bring it closer.

I am trying to break down my fears and understand what is behind then. Maybe due to my upbringing and environmental factors an learned behaviour, it seems I've always compared myself, been too self conscious, low self worth, self critical, etc. But behind it all I think i protect myself from being judged, found out; humiliated. It's all about the presence of others. It is such a strong force that it keeps me from doing stuff for fear of all those very things. I know we are all equal but it doesn't feel like that, or should I say, that is my perception.

how do you know whether you’re genuinely orientated towards the truth or secretly using this exploration to solve your problems / resolve your stresses and strife?

Completely understand the importance of where we direct our energy. When experiencing immense bouts of anxiety energy is so misused that the body becomes weak, breathless, shaky, jumpy, nauseous, and fragile. My question is does, or, will this suffering cause any actual harm to our mind or body in the long run? Surely it has an effect on our defenses over time after repeated bouts? This concerns me.

Its about the war in the middle east. I have for the mostpart been cutting myself off and trying not to think about it as the stories coming out are just so so horrific.. The stuff of horror films and nightmares. So much hate, loss, grief, and unimaginable suffering. When I do allow myself to think about it, I just feel utter despair and sadness. So heres my question. Is all this just a reflection of human consiousness right now? And if it is, it seems the only solution must be to simply go within and ask myself honestly, where do i feel hate, rage, seek revenge, make others suffer, etc etc. Would you agree?So all the futile attempts by goverments for deals/ peace agreements or whatever, is none of that needed or necessary? Is it all down to us as humans one by one to find peace and dissolve conflict within and then the outside world would automtically follow suit?Also, since the war is in the middle east, i was wondering if this particularly reflects the level of consiousness/inner conflicts of those living there and those most affected? Or would you say it could have happened anywhere and is a reflection of humanity in general?Would love your views..this topic to me seems so heated and hard to bring up for fear of attack..but I guess thats just more reflection...hall of mirrors, cant escape it, sending so much love,

How do you define Flow, Clare and how do we make The SHIFT from grind to Flow?

A brief summary of this episode

I feel like I've asked this question in many forms, but here I am again. I've just watched your latest video in the "Energy" course. I was shouting out to it, "but I do move into the space of discomfort, in fact it feels like there's no choice about it!" The retraumatization that you talk about is seen so clearly and of course it's depleting my energy. Over the past few years I've decided that it's not worth my short or long term health anymore. I've been applying to any job where I feel like I can at least cover my bills. No interviews have been offered. I have lots of stories about that too as I've done all the research and any housework that seems necessary. I also shouted at the podcast about you saying that if the listener wanted another job they would have one. I seem to shout at you a lot even though I love you like crazy! I ask the big questions and stay in my body as much as possible. I don't have the capacity to do this all the time therefore, I"m not in that place where you've been, where you didn't care about what came up for you in the talk you gave. I've listened to another of your podcasts about it being more difficult for people who've been harshly conditioned or traumatized. This is the situation here. I therefore, have thoughts about how it's always going to be like this and the trap gets tighter and tighter. I'm not exactly sure what my question is now, except that I'm very envious of the people who see thru it all and then suddenly it's magical or at least it seems like things fall away and there's a larger capacity. Can the forcing of the facing of things be too much for the system especially when the programming is strong? I did this job for 2 decades without a problem and now the brain rewiring is also a story I tell myself about. This is quite a long winded question, but if you can make heads or tails of it, it would be much appreciated.Thank-you Clare. I have so much love for you. Most of the time I'm not shouting at your videos and podcasts, instead they resonate deeply, and yet nothing shifts so there's huge frustration. There's the feeling of haven't I suffered enough already! Ughhhh

Just reflecting on energy. More specifically the amount of energy that as stated by Adyashanti it takes to maintain those illusory beliefs,the false narrative ,the conditioning ,the projection of the I at the centre of a created reality as opposed to being alive, in flow, whole, true and home. My question is are we saying that we do not have a mind i.e it is a maladaptive programme running on false data. Or that the mind does exist but that inner engineering is required to make it work in service of us as human beings. Hope this makes sense ?

I am still marvelling at the shifts happening on a daily basis at the moment.I forgot to mention on our call about how out of seemingly no-where I find myself doodling, drawing, painting, making shapes out of paper napkins…. having never done anything like that before and swearing I didn’t have a creative bone in my body !This really is like magic!

Good morning, my dear ClareI just finished listening to your utterly brilliant response to the participant in your Energy course who is struggling with histamine issues. My mind was immediately transported back to 2019 when I was taking all of you courses, and when I took REAL for the second time in October of that year, my own histamine symptoms went through the roof! I was terrified. And yet, something kept my ass on the seat in your course. My mind hated every word you said, and my body’s histamine symptoms increased and morphed daily as I continued the exploration. And then, for whatever reason I’ll never know, something deep within me really SAW that the symptoms were BRILLIANT. They were my greatest teachers. Something within me stopped fighting them so much. There was a knowing that the actual physical symptoms were somehow doing amazing work on behalf of this exploration and expansion. By December, they diminished and by January, they were gone altogether. They simply were no longer needed. Now, I see the beauty and intelligence in the body’s sensations and symptoms. I recently wrote a love letter to my brilliant body with all its adorable little idiosyncrasies. I’ve attached it in case you’d like to read it. Thank you, Clare, for always pointing us INTO the very core of the body, the sensations, and the emotions.❤️ So very helpful. Love Missy https://www.missymaioranocoaching.com/blog/a-letter-to-my-body

These last few days have been really uncomfortable and at times painful, as I am staying with what’s going on. No numbing, no trying to change it. I feel the pain, I feel the grief as I see again and again where my mind goes to… the stories it tells, the narrative that’s been going on for so long, most of the time unnoticed. “Unconscious mind activity makes you unhappy” says Eckhart Tolle, and I am seeing more of this activity now. I am experiencing “feeling” like I’m unwanted, ‘low vibe’, ‘a failure’… The deep feeling of not ‘enoughness’, and of rejection. I was reflecting on that today, and the fact that some people weren’t answering my messages (yet), and how my mind was going to habitual and painful narratives. I realized again how these were opportunities I am thankful for. Opportunities to actually observe those narratives. And less than five minutes later, I received a message… haha! A wink from the Universe, like a confirmation. “Yeah! You’ve unlocked the next level at the game of life.”All of it is a mirror. Life is mirroring ‘yourself’ back to you. This story of rejection is a very old story, but what is new is seeing the nuances and being present when it emerges, instead of lost in the mind’s story. And I am so grateful for that, because this is the key to the prison’s door. This is freedom, “Feel the pain and know that you are free”

I’ve not asked a podcast questions since ‘Find the narcissist in you’ many, many moths ago, so here’s a new question inspired by page 66 of GAME…Whist I get the subjective lens of the character, is it True that there is NO absolute reality?

On today's podcast on truth you talk about Truth being beyond the mind. I've long been curious as to how all similar concepts that we might lump under "ethics", "eternal values" or "the verities" fit in with non-duality. Is it all relative in the Real, in the field beyond good and evil, with no place at all for absolutes? I've been rereading C. S. Lewis's "The Abolition of Man", and he does make a lot of sense about the pitfalls of trying to live in a world where all values are relative. But maybe if it's all ultimately love, that subsumes everything?

I'm loving the Energy Course that we are doing at the moment. Day 4 video WOW - I found everything you said just seemed to almost flow through me, making complete and utter sense. I have a question for you - one area I seem to struggle and get caught up in still, is my health (believed to be caused by high histamine levels). My mind/body system still wants to resist the energetic flow of Intelligence/life and shift back to a Reality of fear, confusion, insecurity when the physical symptoms appear. Interestingly over the last few months, these symptoms have become a lot worse, continually changing in how they present themselves. Along with that, there has been the growing frustration and annoyance around what I can eat, drink, how much rest, etc and wanting to give it all up and just eat what I want. Then again fear, confusion and insecurity appear.Why does this area still look so real - the physical symptoms keep changing and reappearing as more severe? Are the symptoms pointing me towards the resistance? Where to go with this?

I am finding myself at a lockdown all thought believed but unable to see a way through this. My husband died in 2015 when i was 51 and 3 months later my brother committed suicide. At the time of his death he was under mental health care. I believed 100% that he wouldnt kill himself, and tried to constantly tell my parents that he wouldnt and that it was all attention seeking, but he did. He hung himself and had a massive heart attack and was not dead when found and taken to hospital and put on life support, after brain scans he was deemed as brain dead and we had to make the decission to turn off his life support. His actual passing was traumatic for my Mum his son, wife and myself. So much guilt. Moving on my son 34yrs suffers with his mental health and i cannot see that this is ok. everything in me wants to secure him to secure myself and not have to face this again. I understand i cannot control anyone or anything but the ongoing fear of this is agonising and not good for our relationship. What my mind says is well you cant control anything so you know this can happen again, which i know is true and i cant see this any other way and any attempt to feel into it just blocked, nonething. If you have time to reply to me i would greatly appreciate it, i just dont know how to approach this.

I havent been on holiday abroad since 2017. In June 2018 I was ill with GAD and couldn't go on holiday with my husband and daughter. I came back in taxi and they went alone. That same year in November 1st my husband aged 51 passed away from sepsis at the hospital I worked at for 16 years, due to negligence. We won our case it was an awful experience. My anxieties are more to do with me all my life and are not about my husband if you understand what I mean. Grief is a completely emotion. I was very strong I have been told. I have been in a new healthy relationship for 2 years now and both our children get on amazingly. No problems at all, only my personal anxieties that never go away. So the main issue is going on holiday abroad. All the family want to go and I am having to say no I can't. I feel like a let down as I know everyone wants to go but I'm so afraid to commit in case the same thing happens because when I am hit by my anxiety I am very ill and I spiral right down to the pit of doom. I know the answer is to do the thing but I'm so afraid. That's why I'm doing your courses. You're the only person who seems to resonate in a different way. X

Seems to me that I have chosen to put myself into Reset to feel all the feelings or the identity has but my concern is, is that healthy for me? By saying there is nothing to gain, I get it but, I am here to gain something, some kind of change to the endless suffering. Aren’t we all here for something, some gain, change or peace from pain? The premise of Reset, seems to be re-traumatisation in order to see through the made up self-identity/story of me. It is based on a belief that this is true. How do we know what is true?

A brief summary of this episode

What does 'you are not broken' mean and what are the world's therapists, psychologists and counsellors doing if it is true?

Is the aim to not go into your mind as a separate entity and view the world outwards without running it through the I filter if that makes sense?

Can personality be altered of who we are at our core? Can I change my comfort in routine and and discomfort in change? Will that ever fall away or is that my personality?

I love listening to you, and look forward to next weeks, final webinar. I find myself feeling like I’ve been told suddenly that the sky is not blue, having been a student of the three principles and the idea that it’s all a thought that brings us pain. I have been sad most of my life and have done everything to feel it and exorcise this unhappiness. And yet it persists. Years of therapy, Hypnosis, breath, work, mushroom work, 3P’s on and on. I don’t understand how much more I can feel this pain to be rid of it. I know where it’s from and have had deep feelings about it.What am I missing? I’m confused.

A brief summary of this episode

I have just listened to Elana's conversation around her fear of driving and its 1 mile boundary. This has been so helpful to me as right at the moment I am sitting in intense fear around the fact that my husband has had to travel interstate for an overnight business trip today. This is a situation that I have had a lot of fear around for awhile now. Over the last couple of years he has managed to only travel interstate on day trips, so home in the evenings. The day trips are now something that I don't see a lot of fear or thought around anymore. So from what I heard in the conversation and then saw for myself is that exploration of the fear is the key here. Having the fear - with all its intensity - around whatever boundaries we have created and exploring it with curiosity. I see there is an overnight stay, some alone time for me and whatever else arises. Am I on the right track with exploring this fear.

A brief summary of this episode

Such a delight seeing you again. For me, the webinar was super clear. I loved your fun and enthusiasm. Sometimes, I notice that noticing sensations is just happening. At those times, it feels like coming home. Other times, I notice a mind that desperately wants to feel sensations because of the assumption that if it does that, some magic enlightenment will happen. Of course, at those times i don’t experience the feeling of coming home at all. The logical question seems to be: “what can I do about this”? But I don’t think that question is helpful. Because it is coming from the separate self. So.. no question. Just a quick reply. Keep up the good work!

Still wrestling with the idea of non-duality.In order to see what is true and real the concept of you i.e. the narrative needs to be silenced bracketed or ignored ?I feel there is a light bulb moment coming but not quite there yet.

Your habit is not you with Amy Johnson: the Sunday conversation (from the archive)

I see that choice is happening and, similarly, values are being created - innocently.If I discover that someone has a different value (which upsets me and has me saying "I would never do that" as you mentioned in the podcast), must I necessarily be doing the same thing to someone in my life (I think this is what I heard)? I can, of course, see that I can be unreasonable, selfish, unfeeling - but not in the exact same circumstances, so the hurt does not fall away to just know this!I can find a certain amount of peace in knowing that I cannot know or explain the conditioning that resulted in their action / response, and neither can they. They are innocent - no separate self. But there remains the expectation of the same value being expressed again in future and so, as I see it, the relationship must shift. Or is there something I can pursue here, something I've missed, so the hurt / blame could fall away instead?

Duality is a confusion of the mind created by a set of beliefs which run the programming and inhibit what is true and real . Woke up with this thought . Am I on the right track ?

As I move forward in the world of dating. More and more insecurities pop up about my appearance. Sometimes I feel ok, other times I become hyperfocused on parts of my face that I want to change. Ok, it this is a constant narrative that gets louder or goes quiet for a while. I definitely feel like there is dysmorphia not so much with the body. This has been around from about the age of 12. I know it has nothing to do with me. I have sat with the feelings, know the theory, know I can not secure my identity by feeling attractive, however when something big in my life comes up it is very loud!

'There is absolutely nothing in the past that you can change. That's basic physics.' Bad Advice Wednesday

So on your last podcast about being of service. You said it’s better to ask what is true. I’m confused exactly what that means. How do you go about finding out what is true. Are there any examples?

Yes, today really clarified that EVERYTHING IN EVERY MOMENT is a reflection of the past conditioning. I hadn't realised the full extent of that before. Now what if that conditioning is so profoundly embedded into what materialises, there is no distinct feeling in the experiences to feel into? No "pain" of separation even if separation is believed. Is just the observation and understanding of the truth enough for things to fall away
