Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

We often find ourselves in a situation, a partnership, a friendship, or a job where we're feeling stressed, anxious and frustrated. And then we ask ourselves the question: should I stay or should I go? 

This is a great question for us to explore, because any situation in which there is stress is an opening space of inquiry for the superpowered mind. What often happens is that we either stay or we leave and nothing changes in our life. We stay stuck in the same situation or we replicate it in the next partnership or in the next job. 

So how do we get out of this confusion and how do we really decide if we should stay or we should go? This is what we’re going to look at in today’s episode. 

What is Covered: 

-How we can look at the stress as a valuable signal of misalignment

-Using stress as a starting point for inquiry 

-The distinction between achievable and unachievable wants

-How to understand and resolve unachievable wants

-What to do after we discover an achievable want in our situation

-The recipe for answering “should I stay or should I go?”

It’s time for us to get really clear about what the Ego is. 

The ego definition that we usually encounter, particularly when we talk about someone having a ‘big ego’ is that they think they are better than other people. 

But actually - they might in many respects be better at doing certain things. Recognising talent, ability and strengths of a body mind has nothing to do with ego. 

Ego is simply the obsessive attempt to secure the self-identity. And all of those attempts fail, because it’s literally impossible to secure the idea of self that doesn’t even exist.

So in this episode, we’re going to take a different approach and instead of measuring the feeling of self-esteem or self-enhancement, we’re going to use three much more powerful measures of ego. 

What is Covered: 

-Can our ego get bigger after practicing meditation and yoga? 

-Fight or flight - the intensity of reactions to a perceived threat to our self-identity

-How the unachievable wants of our ego can drive us to constant disappointment in life 

-Why the most powerful and creative minds tend to get stuck in a loop of self-belief

-How we can begin liberating our mind

What are we actually discussing in the question - is there free will? And then, where do our intentions really come from? And how can wants and desires be the means through which the power of the mind is realised? 

Today we are looking at this seemingly impossible conundrum of the non-existence of free will and the complete accountability for everything that arises in experience.

We are considering what happens to the self identity as the mind settles into the truth of what we are. 

What is Covered: 

-The impossibility of there being free will and an independent chooser, separate from beliefs and conditioning

-How intentional and unintentional actions can be understood

-Understanding impersonal accountability 

-Seeing the experience of separation as a temporary misalignment 

-Stress as an indication of a lost mind

-How to understand and honour our desires

Today we’re looking at what we can expect to happen or to change from an exploration about reality, self and identity. Right in there is the biggest irony. On one hand, it's guaranteed through this exploration that the lived experience of being will become more peaceful, more joyful, more aligned to what we truly are. The problem is that this guaranteed outcome happens in proportion to how much we stop attempting to get it. 

That’s the cosmic joke we’re about to tackle. In this episode, we’re going to explore the five gains we can get by exploring reality, self and identity, and how to find a way through the irony of this search.  

What is Covered: 

-Why the search for happiness creates more separation and lack instead of less of it

-How to stop searching for the sense of wholeness and what happens then

-The value and health of emotional release and openness to experience

-The inner check of the narrative of separation: is this true? 

-The increase of accountability and decrease of blame and shame

-The new curiosity and joy of moving into areas of discomfort

-Understanding the creative role of the mind

Today, we're looking at the difference between cause, symptom and cure. If your role or level of responsibility involves working with other people and helping them with their problems, this episode is for you.

It is so easy to override or spiritually bypass the actual cause of why someone is behaving the way they do, and keep them unintentionally in a limbo, not helping them get to what is actually going on. In this episode, we’re going to make a vital distinction between root causes, symptoms and true healing, valuing symptoms for the information they provide, and pointing the way towards addressing underlying causes and starting to transform our reality. 

What is Covered: 

-Why it is vital to discern causes from symptoms

-What happens when we manage symptoms without addressing the cause

-What happens when we just ignore the symptom for too long

-How we can recognise a dysfunction in our sense of being

-Why sometimes we don’t do what’s curing us even if we know the cause of our problems

-How to avoid the re-traumatising circle of curing a symptom with more of the same symptom

-What we can do better when we identify a dysfunction in our experience of reality

This episode is called “The Brick Wall”, because we're talking about a dead end and a complete full stop to the wants and needs to secure which cannot be secured. And that’s the identity. Identity relies on the belief system of being a separate, controlling entity. It's the attempt to control the experience of being, to control what we think of ourselves and what other people think of ourselves. Every single want that relates to controlling the experience of being is a 100% unfulfillable quest. And yet, our entire lives are dedicated to fulfilling these wants, and enormous industries are dedicated to maintaining these wants in place in the guise of fulfilling them. 

So today we’re going to unpack this wild goose chase that is securing the ego identity, and we’ll see how we can go in a different direction, other than hitting the brick wall over and over again.  

What is Covered: 

-How the beauty industry and alcohol industry exploit our fundamental insecurity

-Why the wants and desires that begin and end with ‘me’ are completely unachievable

-Why our wants attempt to control the uncontrollable and are impossible to observe and measure

-How to discern if what you want is achievable and actionable

-How to learn to welcome a critique and not feel threatened by it

-The path to ultimate sanity

What does it really mean when you want to tell someone a few “home truths”? Even if you resent someone’s behaviour and you feel called to put them right, does it really make you powerful or is there something else going on? 

Today, we’re going to dive into what “home truths” are and how they drive you to actually miss true power. We’re also going to look at five truly powerful questions that you can ask yourself whenever you feel triggered by someone else’s behaviour. Although these questions can be very challenging, they will help you clear your perception and begin the end of separation.  

5 Questions of Power: 

-What is really being resisted here? 

-What is being gained from the ego identity in this altercation?

-How is this person’s behaviour the exact mirror of my own behaviour?

-How is my behaviour either creating, continuing or maintaining the behaviour that I am most resentful of?

-What do I really want?

Many of us find ourselves wanting to do something, for example to write a book, or to get fit, or to build a business, but we just can’t get ourselves motivated to start on it.  

Where does our motivation come from? How can we get more motivation to do the things that we want to do? It's a great question that opens up the whole area of mind, desire, capacity and real world understanding that starts to make our mind the superpower asset that it really is.

So in this episode, we’re going to discuss and explore the three aspects of our experience of being, and how understanding them unlocks true motivation. 

What is Covered: 

-The Absolute, the Relative and the Illusory aspect of being

-The prerequisite of experiencing anything as a human being

-Motivation and desire to experience the world of form

-Why we can never find wholeness through separation

-Understanding true motivation

-How to find the intrinsic motivation to do things in life

-Unlocking the healthiest and the most sane kind of motivation

This week, we are looking at healthy boundaries, and how the conversation about identity, self and reality can have an enormous effect on the sanity of our boundaries. 

One of the main dangers in setting healthy boundaries is that the confrontation involved in maintaining those boundaries and establishing deep relationships can be too much. If our earlier experiences taught us to avoid respecting our own space for the fear of being laughed at or shamed, we may even find ourselves spiritually bypassing boundaries, by claiming that there is no objective self and objective others. 

So in this episode, we’re going to navigate around this confusion and learn how to enable strong and healthy boundaries that are grounded in reality. 

What is Covered: 

-Different ways in which we avoid to set healthy boundaries

-Boundaries on the level of body and the overlay of boundaries within our mind

-When we are most vulnerable to other people’s offences 

-How we can start to set strong and healthy boundaries

-How to resist reacting in the moment of perceived attack on our boundaries

-The question to ask yourself when you’re choosing how to react to someone’s behaviour

Today’s topic is around focus, and in order to talk about focus, let’s first consider what focus is. Focus is pure attention. It is also called flow, the gap, deep presence, immersion and other names, but it is the fullness of attention given to something. So, focus has an object that our conscious mind illuminates like a spotlight. 

But what is the object of focus, and what controls where our attention goes? That’s what we are diving into today, because it takes us directly to what conscious mind is, and answers the question how we can have more focus. 

What is Covered: 

-The dynamics of focus and attention

-What controls where the spotlight of our focus goes

-What happens when the object of focus is identity threat

-Why our mind confuses and focus on the things that are not real

-Two questions to help you clear your focus 

-How we can liberate our attention and our mind
