Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

Have you experience in working with people who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. I’m looking for some support. I am a student of non duality for over 10 years. I’m struggling to deal with the nuts and bolts of life with this condition. I was diagnosed six years ago when I was 54 years old after having read Gabor Mates book. I would like to know your thoughts. Many thanks.

First off I want to express my profound gratitude for you and for the HOME course. The videos, the subliminals, the webinars, the FB page, interactions with other participants have all been revelatory. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

My question: I've been loving the subliminals. With the first one I felt some, for lack of a better description, movement in the body/mind. But as I became acclimated to it I found I could play it and subsequent ones pretty much all the time and could even fall asleep with them playing.

But the last two, peace and even more so with love, I've had very strong reactions so that I could not fall asleep with them on. While they played, as the love one is playing now, I feel a strong kind of buzzing energy in the middle of my forehead. I feel them physically. This puzzles me.

In moments of connection and expansion, there is always a sense of both of these, love and peace. And I would expect (Oh, oh -- an expectation) that love and peace would not be challenging or confrontational or cause the ripples I feel. I would think (!) they would be soothing and calming.

Although it's not imperative that I understand why, I'm wondering why this is so. Can you/would you explain?

Some comments on this article:

"I’ve got to say it’s the very toughest absence as a clinician to work with someone who is hopeless. "

"Or being the person without hope it’s almost impossible to see around it at the time."

"Without some differentiation some readers may miss the great message because they may feel you are saying we are helpless pawns unable to change the world."

I'm seeing a person I care about struggling. Seeing the world as against them. Playing out the patterns of their childhood. There are urges to point out where this person is getting things 'wrong'. And maybe to be their 'saviour' even.  I see that ideas of me...and them are all over this ...

It's confusion. For sure.  

Starting here,  I can look to the ways that I do this? Does this mean not challenging the thinking of others? Ever? I want to ask if it's wrong to try to share the things this conversation has shown me (even though I know that question in itself containx the confusion)

The confusion is suggesting to me that this whole dilemma is created from the idea of self and other 

Much of what you write seems to touch on the illusion of the self and how this is the source of a good number of our problems. However, I think I can differentiate between two 'selves': there's the 'fictional' self which is the one which creates either hypothetical future scenarios (about which we can scare ourselves sh*tless) or which ruminates needlessly over past regrets; and there's an 'authentic' self which seems to me at least to be able to step back and observe such imaginings more dispassionately. This latter self seems to be able to experience moments which are hard to put into words because they seem to be accompanied by feelings of expansiveness or perhaps transcendence, and they are very fleeting, but the poets and mystics have spoken and written about them throughout the ages, and far more eloquently than I can muster. 

I was wondering how prayer fits into this conversation. 

I have always spoken to whoever :God, angels, the Universe, and it is always soothing and helpful. 

Now I am wondering, what is this, the 'I' speaking to itself? 

I always feel guidance and help through this conversations, so how would you see this topic? 

I really want to have insight in reality. I’m all in, but it feels like I’m doing something wrong. Instead of sleeping, I lie awake at night - pondering on what is true; instead of playing with my kid, i’m asking what’s at stake; instead of working I’m trying to feel what I’m feeling. It’s a total mess and I’m afraid that if I continu like this, I end up in a straight jacket and getting a lobotomy ;-) 

So for one more time: can you please elaborate on what you mean with the question: what is truth? I think that you mean that all the thinking and ‘selfing’ exists only in my head and therefore it isn’t truth. But for me, the thoughts and feelings look very real. Knowing on some philosophical level that thought isn’t real, isn’t enough for me. I really want to know.
