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.

Exploring how the relief and comfort of having what we think we need or getting rid of what we think we don't want is not the freedom it appears to be.

Exploring how purpose is a thought created idea and how perhaps ultimately the only purpose of life is the dissolving of all concepts - including the idea of purpose itself.

Exploring how the idea of self is like an onion and layer by layer it can dissolve to reveal there is absolutely nothing there.

Exploring how the attempt to hold on to and seek the 'right' experiences, thoughts and emotions and to resist the 'wrong' ones is unfulfillable and is hiding the peace, joy and freedom that we are actually looking for.

Exploring how the idea of values maintains an identity that is separate from the world around it and how, in the dissolving of that identity, our truest essence is lived in effortless wholeness.

Exploring the apparently ludicrous - that there is no one to be ill or to experience illness.

An exploration of how the discomfort when we feel stuck can take us deeper into a belief in limitation or can show that belief for the imagination it really is.

Exploring how flourishing has nothing to do with what we think.

Exploring what is going on with fear and how it often has nothing to do with physical danger and everything to do with the loss or vulnerability of something that doesn't even exist.

Exploring how the suffering apparently caused by other people is telling us 'there is no other'.

There is so much evidence for our beliefs. So they can remain unquestioned. Or we can start to explore how the beliefs themselves create the evidence...

Exploring how believing the imagined idea of the future is a delusion and the source of suffering while the concept of time, understood for what it is, is simply useful.

Exploring how this apparent reality is all there is. And how that apparent reality is never all there is.

Exploring how the search for peace in the right emotions and right circumstances is hiding the peace we're searching for...

Exploring how trying to change behaviour fixes it in place and where change really arises from.

Exploring what is going on when we try to accept something.

Exploring how flow is what we are - not something we have to achieve

Exploring the freedom we really are.

Exploring what is going on with panic

Exploring how other people, events and circumstances are the characters in a story of self and what that tells us about who we really are.

Exploring the roller coaster of emotions and experience and how trying to stay at the top with the right emotions and experience is pointless.

Exploring how the idea of a limited self is evidence of creativity in action.

Exploring navigation of a thought created world

Exploring the perception of limitation and how it is never what we think it is.

Exploring the nature of concepts (including the concept of self and Coronavirus) and how believing them to be actual reality hides everything we are looking for.
