Motivation: Listener Question Superpowered Mind With Clare Dimond podcast

19:03

This month’s episode is an introduction to our May programme, which is all about the intelligence of the mind, how it is liberated and how it comes into its full potential as the most miraculous and capable organ on the entire planet. Basically, all our programmes are looking at how the mind becomes more sane. One of the ways in which the mind becomes more grounded in reality is through problem solving. Today, we’re going to look at two kinds of problems that our mind is trying to solve, and how that contributes to grounding ourselves into the truth of what we really are. What is Covered: -How and why the mind creates projections of the reality -What identity problems are and what they get exacerbated -Problems in the world of form and of information -Why we claim that all problems in this world can be solved -What stress is telling us when we are solving a problem -The difference between the identity want and the form want -Other types of problems that we can look at Resources: -Sign Up for REAL Membership and Intelligence and Problem Solving Course at https://claredimond.simplero.com/page/650028 -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

054 Don't Let Go of the Outcome 16:41

6 weeks fa16:41

“Let go of the outcome” is such a modern mantra, isn't it? Let go of the outcome and just focus on the process. And that mantra gets very confusing, because why would we let go of an outcome that is highly achievable and highly beneficial either to us, or to others, or to the world? Think about the work of surgeons and what would happen if they let go of the outcome. The problem is that letting go of the outcome can start to imply to not even try, not think about it, it almost becomes an opt-out from effort. So in this episode, we’re going to bin “let go of the outcome” and start thinking about achievable and unachievable wants instead. What is Covered: -Why focusing on the outcome creates so much stress -Learning to understand unachievable wants -What happens when “I” is both the subject and the object of a want -How to avoid wanting outcomes that are impossible to pin down -Why sometimes the wanted outcome is unrelated to the action being taken -The impossibility of resisting or fixing certain emotion in place -The value of putting all the research, effort and hard work only into achievable outcomes Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

053 The Direct Path 19:27

8 weeks fa19:27

19:27

The direct path is a spiritual approach which considers that the content of experience is a creation of the mind. And for the mind to be in truth, we should turn away from that content to what lies behind all of the experience of being, which is consciousness, intelligence, love. The direct path is completely solid and grounded, and that’s awesome. But the thing is, the mind is still operating in a world where we work, we have family, mortgages to pay or problems with our boss. So if the only truth is what is prior to the mind's creations, what do we do now with this reality? That’s what we are exploring in this episode. What is Covered: -Explanation of the direct path -The problem with a lot of spiritual teachings of the direct path -How the direct path grounds us deeper into reality -Expanding the emotional capacity vs. denying the pain -How the direct path reveals itself in the midst of the confrontation -Why “What do you want?” is the crucial question to ask ourselves Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

052 Find Your Why 18:01

“Find your why” is a very common phrase that we hear in self-help circles. It's the idea that there is a higher purpose, a bigger meaning we can find, a deeper motivation that will inspire us, and that will keep us going through tiredness and frustrations. It’s a very powerful argument, and that power is incredibly problematic. Because, if our why relates to securing the ego identity, then that whole thing is completely insane. So in this episode, we’re going to explore why finding our why can lead us to chaos, and how we can understand it in a way that brings joy, relief and great experiences. What is covered: -Why “Find your why” is such a compelling invite -The problem with finding your why and the belief system it relies on -How our problematic why’s can lead to burnout and health problems -The risks of finding our why in being a great parent or in helping others -How we can reverse Find your why to learn more about our wants -How finding your why can be fulfilled with excitement, joy and learning Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

Today, we’re going to explore the gift of the fun house. The title of this episode came about as I remembered how my son experienced the fun house at a yearly fair in our town. For two years in a row he was scared, running into the same mirror and getting bumps on his head, and then the third year he just thought it was boring. Boring is such a good word when it comes to what the mind creates, the enormous roller coaster that the experience of being can go on in the grip of total identification. But then it gets really interesting when that experience starts to become boring, and that’s what we are going to talk about in this episode. What is Covered: -The grip that the identified mind holds over our existence -Why we almost feel possessed in the moments of a perceived survival threat -How the tension and the drama we’re experiencing can become boring -What boredom signalises to our body-mind -How we can shift from focusing on securing the identity to solving problems -How boredom frees the mind to fully participate in the world Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

Welcome to our 50th episode! With almost 50,000 downloads so far, inspired by those fives, today we’re going to discuss five of my favourite quotes for life. Tune in to hear why I’ve chosen them and how they inspire and connect with the conversation around our Superpowered Mind. I hope they give you as much to reflect on as they give to me. "The real you is a field of intelligence in which the person you have identified yourself with, all other persons, as well as the environment in which they exist, all co-arise and co-evolve as a result of your own self interactions." - Deepak Chopra "Our parents, our children, our spouses and our friends will continue to press every button we have, until we realise what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves yet. They will point us to our freedom every time." - Byron Katie "It is slavery to live in the mind unless it has become part of the body." - Khalil Gibran "I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in or moving out, and I say, oh, I am miserable, what shall— what should I do? And the sea says in its lovely voice: Excuse me, I have work to do." - Mary Oliver "You believe that you live in the universe, when in reality the universe lives in you." - Steve Chandler Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

049 Being Seen 17:36

12 weeks fa17:36

17:36

Today we're looking at the driver to be seen. Everybody wants to be seen, to be heard, to be acknowledged. It provides the temporary feeling of validity, worth, and survival even. And that makes sense when looked at from the belief system of what we are as a separate entity, that can somehow find wholeness through attention and love, regard and respect. In the midst of this tremendous drive to be seen, we use elements at our disposal, such as our work, our body, our looks or our help and support of other people. In this episode we are going to explore the difference between being seen and seeing, and how between the two lies a freedom that sets free all of these elements that would be used in the attempt to solidify the identity, and instead just become what they are. What is Covered: -Philosophical aspects of being seen vs. seeing -What is the “I” that wants to be seen? -The relationship between individual and infinite consciousness -How consciousness operates through our body-mind form -Analysis of Descartes’ “cogito ergo sum” -How the understanding of what we are sets free our relationships Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

Today, we're looking at the difference between a mind that is claiming doership and source accountability. We're going to take a story from a beauty salon to explore the mind’s confusion about being a separate doer that’s making things happen, and the state of mind that is sane, inquiring and settling back to truth about what we are and what is real. We're going to use simple messages that we can receive like compliments or insults to reveal the deeper meaning behind them about our belief systems, and to explore source accountability as the system of moving intelligence and consciousness through the world. What is Covered: -The anecdote from the beautician’s about having “nice eyebrows” -Why we tend to take compliments or insults personally -The belief system behind compliments and insults -The fundamental insecurity behind the belief that we are a separate doer -The difference between avoidance through spiritual bypassing and perceiving feedback information -Source accountability and its learning cycle -How intelligence and consciousness really operate in the world -How to find peace in the constant movement of consciousness Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

Last week, we looked at one horrible question to ask ourselves in the midst of resentment: What is my equivalent? This week we're looking at an even more horrible question: What is the benefit? It is a horrible question because on the surface, it has the potential to be really dangerous. We need to understand its full power when we are in situations where there’s resentment towards someone or something. Is it possible that we might be benefiting directly from that situation? So in this episode, we’re going to explore why exactly this is a dangerous question, and how we can start using it as a tool for liberating our superpowered mind. What is Covered: -The surface level and the deeper level of benefiting from resentment -Why resentment is an ego stabilising space -The possible hidden benefits of staying in situations of resentment -How to acknowledge choices that are being made in our present situation -Transitioning from hidden choices and unachievable wants to conscious and achievable ones -Why we should pose the question “What is the benefit?” only to ourselves Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

Today we're looking at one of the most powerful, humbling and liberating questions that we can ever ask ourselves. It's a question that comes into its full power in the moments when we are feeling resistance or resentment to someone. The question is: What is my equivalent? It’s a horrible question, because in those moments when we want someone to change their behaviour, the ego is having a field day. There's a full sense of me versus them, and it’s a wonderful place for the ego identity to hang out. But then in comes this question, which completely rewires our thought patterns and takes us somewhere new. In this episode, we’re going to explore that new place and become open to the possibility of changing how we experience ourselves and the reality. What is Covered: -Why our ego identity enjoys being in the state of full separation -How do we start to default to “What is my equivalent?” -What equivalent really means and how we can recognise it in different situations -How equivalent can be a direct or indirect mirror of somebody’s behaviour -How to get into the space of understanding and compassion instead of separation -How the outside world starts to change when we change the concept of what we are Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

Because we’re starting a new year, today we're looking at the phrase “New Year, New You.” You can see it throughout all of social media, all of the products, fitness plans, health kicks and diets - all selling the idea that you can create a new “you” through different behaviours. But is that true? Can going on a diet or giving up alcohol really make you feel like a new you? Obviously, any behaviour change, especially ending an addiction, is going to have a dramatic effect on the experience of what you are. But the most fascinating aspect of this exploration is - who is making that change and where does the change of behaviour come from? That’s what we’re going to consider in this episode. What is Covered: -Who is “You” in “New Year, New You”? -Considering your body mind as a sensory form where all experience is happening -Why your needs cannot be met through any external program -How you’re creating a new you in every single moment -New you as a field of pure potential -How to uphold your New Year’s resolutions effortlessly Resources: -Discover the Freedom of a Quiet Mind: Transform Your Mental Health in January 2025 https://claredimond.simplero.com/page/589461 -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

Discover the Freedom of a Quiet Mind: Transform Your Mental Health in January 2025 https://claredimond.simplero.com/page/589461 As Christmas is approaching, let’s dedicate today’s conversation to the greatest gift of all. There is enormous conditioning around the holiday season. It looks like at Christmas, we want to have all of the things we are told we should have - happiness, the perfect family, the right amount of attention and praise for what we do. We want to give and receive the right gifts that show us that someone knows us and that will make us peaceful, happy and joyful. But none of this is possible to achieve. Those are the unachievable wants of our mind. So what is it that we can give and receive instead, what would be the true gift of the holidays? Let’s find out in this episode. What is Covered: -What is our fundamental want and why it seems to be unachievable -Why the holiday season can be particularly stressful and what is the hidden gift of that stress -Considering holidays as the time to “up the lab” of inquiry -How each of emotional turmoils can become a field of peak experience -Observing and recognising vs. wanting and achieving -The greatest gift you can receive at the time of holidays Resources: -Discover the Freedom of a Quiet Mind: Transform Your Mental Health in January 2025 https://claredimond.simplero.com/page/589461 -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

Today, we're looking at the difference between peace and alignment, and the shift that happens when finding fake peace is no longer interesting. We have all experienced a strong urge and motivation to find and somehow keep our peace of mind. But if our entire experience of reality is based on our ego identity, on the idea of a separate “me”, it proves to be an impossible task. So why is that, that we try so hard to be at peace and simultaneously we end up further and further away from it? And how do we start to replace peace as a goal with alignment as an ongoing process? What is covered: -How we usually understand the state of peace and why we struggle to “find” it -How to shift our quest for peace to the understanding of alignment -What true alignment is and how to recognise it -Understanding stress as a signal of a temporary lack of alignment -Egoic reality vs. actual reality -How we can test our sense of peace and alignment -Alignment as an ongoing work of confrontation with ego and the process of a true spiritual understanding Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…

15:30

Today we're looking at the phrase you hear a lot in spiritual circles - You create your own reality . This is a really interesting one, because it all depends on what that “you” is. How we understand that “you” will determine whether this phrase sends us into complete confusion, more frustration, more insanity, more stress, or whether it's a portal to sanity and to a deep understanding of what is going on within the mind. In this episode we are going to explore the two you’s that this phrase could be referring to, and why I’ve decided that I wouldn’t ever say it to someone. What is Covered: -Why believing that that we create our own reality can send us into more self-blame and shame -The false belief that we can somehow change our inner state so that our reality changes -What is that you? What is reality? What is the relationship between the two? -Why the phrase “you don’t exist” or “nothing really exists” sounds false -The shift from an identified mind to an inquiring mind -Why we need to constantly explore what the “you” really is Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/…
