Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

I‘m wondering about something.. over the next two months there are many different projects coming up, that need preparation. It seemed to me that it should be possible to handle everthing and to be prepared well.. but now I‘m sick and my body is in so much pain that it feels like I can‘t do the work that should get done..

In my mind it looks like, the only way out of it would be if one of the projects would be moved to a later date.. it looks so real but what makes me suspicios about it is that it looks so much like the ONLY way out of it and i guess out of my pain..

I‘m on your REST course and have been listening to the subliminal a couple of times.. 

it seems to me that there is so much in the topic of rest for me that I can‘t see yet.. also it seems to be my thing to get sick or to be in pain when there is a lot to get done..

Is it possible that all of this is a reaction to the subliminal or to being confronted with those copingmechanisms?

Sorry for this long question, i think it shows how confused I am 🙈

I loved todays blog on mental health and the accompanying podcast (19th May).

I understand that we cannot control our thinking, but what about changing/choosing the thoughts we focus on?

I seems to me that “I” do do have some control over that or am I imagining that?

 I always find “no doer” confronting but I did feel resonance with the very end of the talk that even self inquiry might be doomed until the doer is made more transparent. As you know, I struggle with the Witness as I find that term to be nihilistic. An entity or process that just observes is passive with no power.
  The truth is I rarely see this logic that you say is so obvious. I am aware that motor functions occur before the conscious mind is even aware, yet the artificial intelligence movement has created machines with far less power than the brain that do take responsibility for actions based on sensors. Maybe that metaphor fits your dialog also, but the obvious logic is really not obvious (I had this problem throughout HOME as well).
  I suppose my greatest problem with “no doer” is that it requires Faith that in giving up the doer all of this wonderful accountability and Wisdom will appear to align the mind and body to its greatest good (healthy behaviors, compassion, happiness for no cause, etc,). This has always been my only obstacle to fully understanding Syd Banks remarkable teachings, which you know I view as life-saving for me. 
   What is the evidence for this Faith? What is the evidence that this Wisdom and accountability that appears will protect the doer as best as it can be done so the doer can let go. Or if we don’t have any evidence, how does one actually take the leap?

Today’s ‘how should I listen’ podcast finds me excited. 

Excited enough to return to exploring what is true. 

Yet what does that truly mean?

The Work of Byron Katie starts with questioning ‘is it true?’ 

I get that. It’s crystal clear. 

Please can you dive deep into what exactly you mean by “Just listening to see what’s true. That’s all.”

…And how exactly do I/we do this? 

Thank you. 💎🙏🏼💙

'YOU need to change YOUR thinking!' 
This is something we hear and read quite often. What is true in it, if anything? 

Can you clarify the difference in terminology between the 3 principles and nonduality/advaita, by use of a metaphor (for example the ocean and the waves, or the movie and the screen)?

I am on my second round of Home and really getting something from it slowly and surely. It’s like so many little YES moments. Little snippets of truth that i recognise as such. But … I’m having traditional therapy for the first time and really enjoying it. Is there benefit, alongside this, for the ‘I’ to examine the avator self to examine the conditioning to bring it into the light ? I find it interesting to see the links my brain has made and why but does this drag me more into the brambles and less into seeing that it’s all made up? 

Would appreciate your view ! 

You asked me what was driving the need to understand - for the mind to understand what you were sharing. It stopped me in my tracks because up until this point I had understood that the tension I perceived was being created from the mind trying to grasp something it can never grasp, was the indicator to let go. What you pointed to was that it was no problem that the mind wanted to understand but it was the underlying reason for needing to understand.

And it came to me this morning. I need to understand because of what's on offer that I don't already (perceive) that I have. Ultimate peace, relaxation, sleep, trust, unconditional love. In everything you share there is the perceived message that once the mind is no longer identified life will be amazing. So obviously I want that and therefore have the need to understand.

Intellectually I know what you are pointing to - that we are that already. But right now, where I am, it doesn't feel like that and hence the minds desire to understand!

Does that make sense? I don't know what the question is except how does seeing what the need to understand is about, help?
