Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

What about autism? “I am autistic” is an identification of the self as something other than what we really are. But to simply say it’s therefore untrue feels like a denial/spiritual bypass. And are the challenges this particular diagnosis presents with still ‘gifts’ that are portals to healing? 

I saw this quote: 

Late diagnosis means grieving all the time spent trying to fix parts of you that never needed fixing.

How does that fit with what you are teaching?

“Specificity forces the mind to say what it wants and get what it wants" 
Can you say more about that 

Is there a risk that this self reflection is creating more identitification and ego?

My first post in here. Absolutely love everything you share Clare Dimond. It's life changing. 

Just had a really cool experience I wanted to share. 

This morning I went to type an email greeting. My usual greeting is, 'Hi there' but on this email I had it in my head to write a different greeting. But my body remembered 'Hi there' and typed that instead. So the thoughts said one thing and the hands typed another.

Would love to hear thoughts on what is happening.  I think I can see a link between this and those habitual reactions our body has to the world 'out there'. Feels like a bit more clarity on this.

You often use the words aliveness, consciousness, intelligence, love and presence interchangeably but there are huge differences between them. Why don’t you stick to one?

Do things need to become conscious to change? What is the value of an experience being had at a conscious level 

Dearest Clare,

I think I understand this concept but want to check it out to be sure and clear – forgiveness  

A few times you have mentioned not using forgiveness or acceptance anymore  --- as a bypass is how I heard it.

Now in Be the Change (and yes, I laugh along with you as you love this course and so do I !!!!), you bring in the Ho-oponopono for us to use with the mirror exercise.

It does say, I am sorry, Please forgive me –etc.

Is this forgiveness “right” because we have already seen and acknowledged source accountability?

In other words, we don’t use acceptance of another’s behavior or just flippantly forgiving them without seeing the mirror of the behavior in ourselves first?

How about forgiving ourselves as we are just conditioned by so much when these reactions/triggers/resentments arise in relationships (after the mirror of course)?

I hear you talk about the absolute, the relative and the illusory. Can you remind me what these terms mean? I have it in my head that the absolute is the infinite/mind. The illusory is our constantly changing experience of form via the medium of thought. But then there this in-betweeny thing of the relative that is neither and the body, I’ve heard you say, sits in that category, and the body you talk of as ‘real’. I’m not sure why the body doesn’t also fall under the category of the illusory and gets its own category as it is also form. Confused…

Is there really an advantage to the separate self if so what is it and why does it make sense to dissolve it

Hi Clare,
I've been inquiring into the intense anxiety and desperateness that shows up in nearly all situations where it looks like I'm responsible for something.
The child wants approval from everyone, all the time. And yet there's not enough assurance in the world to address this deep bottomless need.
Is telling that child "I approve" part of addressing it? Does that reinforce a separateness in the psyche? How is it different from simply saying "I love you"?
Any input you have would be appreciated,
