Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

The images of the unconscious place a great responsibility upon a man. Failure to understand them, or a shirking of ethical responsibility, deprives him of his wholeness and imposes a painful fragmentariness on his life. 

Carl Jung

I'm working my way through the course and I'm finding it to be a combination of enlightening and overwhelming-sometimes both at the same time!!

As a result of meditation(which is something that you never refer to, which I found surprising), I'm aware of my thoughts, and I often "catch myself" during the day. 

I sometimes get the sense that I'm watching myself think, but wonder if this is one part of the mind watching another part of the mind, or if that's the witness that you refer to.

I suppose my question is, once I finish the course, where to next? I say this while knowing that I spent a lot of my life being "somewhere else" , or thinking that once I get somewhere I will be happy

I know what I want( an end to suffering(worry & anxiety) and a sense of direction) but from listening to your course/podcasts etc, you seem to suggest letting things be and the universe will sort out the rest.

To make long story short I purchased something online and had to be assembled.  The instructions were confusing and they didn't answer the phone and my husband who was trying to build it got very angry. He had other things going on this week and I think this was his boiling point.

All my life I have had a trigger about anger and both my husbands have had anger issues.  In the past I would numb out and do anything to not have the anger affect me, get defensive, angry back, and afterward do anything to distract myself from sitting with the bad feelings.  This time I stayed calm and told him I would send it back but after I felt gut punched and it took awhile to get peace back.  I realized after listening to your video I was doing anything to escape the feelings even diving into 3P.

It wasn't the situation with the assembly, I knew it might cost money if seller refused to take back, but I was more upset and fearful of my husbands anger and just like in your video #2 where you say it happens over and over again, that has been the pattern all my life and I am 65!

I found out about 3P year and half ago in a senior course at local university and now a few of us from that course started a weekly discussion group a few months ago and that has really changed my life. 

So far what it sounds like you are saying is to sit with the emotional pain and feelings and explore what they mean.  In the past if I try to sit with feelings or journal them the thoughts about the situation send me down the rabbit hole and instead of seeing wisdom it gets worse.

So I am not understanding how you can sit in pain and be comfortable with that?

When the identity is struggling to survive I am noticing a yucky feeling especially when conversing with others as if I am trying to bolster my identity and then I reflect back on the conversation and feel double yucky.

Hi lovely Clare, your video on generational healing was so timely for me. I recently met a homeopath for my son. She was very intuitive and told me that his 'autism' is not really autism but rather a result of generational trauma! She said in order for him to heal that I need to go into long term therapy to have someone connect me back to my heart space and my feelings. She said I am traumatised and emotionally disconnected and this has been passed down from my parents/grandparents etc due to holocaust stuff which is all over my family from both sides where everyone was completely traumatised and on the run. And that now I am on the run and cant settle anywhere. And this is why my son cant develop because he is too busy coping with such a chaotic environment. Everything she said felt so true. 

Would you agree that I need to feel all the pain (my own and that of past generations) in order to heal?? Must I really go sit in therapy for months and feel the pain ?! It feels like the answer is yes and I do feel like I am in constant fight flight barely keeping things together. And it feels like so much sadness does need to be felt and expressed. But Im so confused and really dont want to get caught up in stories. What is true here? Is it just to feel the emotions from an impersonal perspective? Feel the raw feeling without getting attached to any story? This feels like it would be almost impossible. I would love your view on this!

I know that a lot of suffering is caused by the future imaginations of the mind.  If I understood properly, you suggested that not avoiding things and meeting reality with whatever shows up will reveal and heal.  What if this doesn't seem to be happening.  I don't avoid things as it's work related so it seems that I can't, and I keep having the same experience.  The revealing part is showing up, but I don't think any healing is happening.   I have a suspicion that you might say something about resistance, but how does one go into the body and meet the emotions in that moment when there's a job to be done. When I focus on my own sensations in this situation, they seem to get worse, which is really the last thing that's needed at that moment.

When The Body Says No by Dr Gabor Maté. The Sunday Book

Should you really open your eyes and see, you would behold your image in all images. And should you open your ears and listen, you would hear your own voice in all voices.

If you get a chance, I’d love it if you could say more about something I hear in the first wholeness video. You said that’s when something has happened and we say ‘I’m ok with it now’ we aren’t. If there is still an ‘it’ we are not done.

This feels really cool and important somehow but I can’t put my finger on it. So, for example, with sleep I have felt and said on numerous occasions that I’m ok with not sleeping and the issues it caused me BUT this is the same as saying I’m not ok with it 😂🙃I was still seeing it as a problem that I overcame. 

I think what your saying is that if ‘it’ is still seen as a ‘problem’ or even as a ‘thing’ then we are just on the flip side of the coin again.

When it becomes ‘no thing’ it just isn’t there to be ok or not ok with….

Hope that’s makes sense…probably not!

Something keeps popping into my head and I am hoping you can shed some light on it. Hopefully I will be able to explain what the question is. I have an understanding through your teachings that we really don’t have any control over the future – that we are life experiencing itself. That life happens from moment to moment. I also keep hearing in the spiritual world about manifestation… about being able to manifest your future. I am wondering if I have some missing understanding here as this is confusing. One of these statements somewhat contradicts the other? I am probably spending too much time ’thinking and trying to work this out and hence not hearing the answer’, so I wondered if you would be able to unpick this and make any sense of it?
