027 Burnout or Re-Energised: Understanding Capacity 20:09

9h ago20:09

20:09

Join our FREE Webinar on CAPACITY on Wednesday, August 28th at 8:30pm BST https://claredimond.simplero.com/page/567506 In this episode, we are looking at what capacity is and why it is the foundation of all experience of being. Capacity is the availability of resources from moment to moment. Resources such as attention, energy, compassion, enduranc…

026 Is There Such a Thing as Constraints? 18:38

4d ago18:38

18:38

Are constraints that we perceive real? It’s a vital question to explore, because our brilliant human mind, with its capacity for creating concepts and psychological devices, can very easily exit itself from reality. Our very ego is built on constraints and limitations. However, what we want is freedom to dive deeper into reality, we want to engage …

025 Spiritual Maturity 18:00

12d ago18:00

18:00

Welcome to our 25th episode! To celebrate 25, we’ll look at maturity, because the age 25 is the year when the frontal cortex reaches full maturity. Twenty five is also celebrated in many cultures as officially marking the move into adulthood. However, spiritual maturity happens throughout our life, and is an ongoing invitation right up to moments b…

024 Self-Esteem is the End of Self-Reference 17:25

19d ago17:25

17:25

Today we are looking at self-esteem and why it is the end of self-reference. This flies in the face of what the entire self-help industry is telling us. From what we read and hear, self-esteem comes from a focus on me, my confidence, my sense of being, my purpose in life and what I contribute. So it looks like to have high self-esteem, everything h…

023 Showing Up for Someone 18:57

28d ago18:57

18:57

What does it really mean to show up for someone? Is it being kind? No, because being kind is so fraught with what we think being kind is, which might not be what the other person has in mind at all. Is it giving them our opinion? Not really, because our opinions change all the time. Is it doing what they want? No, because doing what they want is th…

022 What is My Equivalent? 18:15

1M ago18:15

18:15

This question comes from my current course on compassion, in which ‘resentment’ is one of our core topics. Resentment feels so awful because it is coming from the belief system that all behaviour is personally decided on and personally directed. Our identity goes into protection overdrive, creating the full lived experience of victim-villain. In th…

021 Confidence 18:31

1M ago18:31

18:31

This week, we’re looking at the confusion around confidence. For decades, this was a confusion that I was completely lost in, suffering from paralysis around public speaking. It looked to me that if I could just have more confidence, then I would be okay. I read books on confidence, I went to courses on confidence, but none of it worked. And the re…

020 Impersonal Purpose 17:23

2M ago17:23

17:23

Today, we're looking at something that sounds a bit odd, but it’s really the bliss of human existence, which is impersonal purpose. Last week we looked at why this is the only conversation to be in, and it's because it is the end of the powerful mind using all its resources in the attempt to secure the unsecurable - our mental construct of a separa…

019 Why is This the Only Conversation to be in? 14:58

2M ago14:58

14:58

I say very often to my clients that this is the only conversation to be in. I do say that a lot, because the understanding of what the mind is, of what reality is, what the self or the identity is, of what is true and what the mind is capable of creating - all of that is liberation for the mind. Anything else other than this conversation is going t…

I’m confused, Joe’s confused, this one dude’s… scary, LG’s… well, she’s good. What does confusion mean in the face of horror? Yeah. Deep stuff.

018 The Future 15:03

2M ago15:03

15:03

Today we're looking at the future, and how an understanding of what the mind is and does can set the future and the experience of living free. There is a tension between the obvious usefulness of a mind that can imagine, plan and prepare for the future, and the paralysis of anxiety, fear, nervousness and foreboding when the mind gets lost in its im…

017 What is the Past? 14:31

3M ago14:31

14:31

This week we're looking at the past, and how a new understanding can completely transform the past. We're going to look at it from the perspective of what is true and what is useful. Because what happens is that the mind is so powerful and the way it represents things is so believable, that when the mind remembers the past, it looks like it's going…

016 What is a Healthy Ego? 15:34

3M ago15:34

15:34

Cambridge Dictionary refers to the ego as the idea or opinion that we have of ourselves. We can consider the ego as the ongoing conscious experience of existence and of what “I am” in relation to that experience of existence. But the current understanding of what we are is very individualistic and it's focused on that ego as being an entirely separ…

015 Resilience 18:26

3M ago18:26

18:26

I want to start this episode by introducing a thought that the way we've been looking at resilience is completely wrong and confusing. It’s actually creating a foundation in our lives that is profoundly unhelpful. So how about we start with this: consider that resilience is there to the extent that the focus is on the activity or the situation, rat…

014 The Role of Psychology 19:14

3M ago19:14

19:14

Psychology could be playing an enormous role in understanding what we are. And yet it's falling short, and that fact is contributing to the mental health crisis that we are finding ourselves in.The statistics are dire: in the last 20 years, antidepressant use in the U.S. has increased fourfold. 25% of people in Europe now suffer from depression or …

013 Is There Free Will? 16:56

4M ago16:56

16:56

Free will, choice, decisions, doership, control - however we call it, the real question behind all these things is, does free will exist at all? And the answer is that the "I" that I think I am, the "I" that thinks it has free will, the "I" that thinks it should be in control, that "I" doesn't exist. I know it sounds a bit crazy, because the lived …

012 What is Reality? 17:44

4M ago17:44

17:44

Today we're looking at the biggest question of all, the question at the heart of mental freedom and sanity. What is reality? To unpack this question, we’re going to analyse some quotes about reality by Albert Einstein, Deepak Chopra and Steve Chandler. We’re also going to explore the notion of “objective” reality, our self-understanding, the conten…

011 What is Security? 17:45

4M ago17:45

17:45

What is security is an enormous question. As security is explored, we can start to see that the more the mind associates security in either external circumstances or an inner realm of experiences being a certain way, the more the mind becomes confused and our lives become disrupted when things change beyond our control. That sets up existence as be…

010 What is Peace? 19:17

4M ago19:17

19:17

The search for peace is at the heart of so much of what we do. Our actions, our words and relationships are all done in order to try to bring about peace and ease of emotional and situational being. It’s all very understandable and logical, because as a baby, we live completely in the present, with no concept of past and future, so peace is actuall…

009 How Do I Get Rid of the Shame? 19:20

4M ago19:20

19:20

Shame, which I also refer to as an existential wrongness, is a deep feeling of being somehow responsible for everything that we feel is messed up within us. That ongoing sense of deep wrongness comes from the most fundamental confusion about the mind, about the body, and about our behaviour. However, shame is both our greatest suffering and the poi…

008 Why Can't I Get What I Want? 18:49

5M ago18:49

18:49

For all of us, in some area of our life, it might be that it feels just like a struggle, like we're pushing water uphill, and the more we try, the more the thing that we want moves away from us. Or otherwise, it might be that we want more money or more clients, but we don't even know where to begin. Maybe we want better health, we want to be strong…

007 Is My Personality My Fault? 14:49

5M ago14:49

14:49

This week, we are looking at the origin of personality and the 'me' that thinks it has a personality. We can define personality as the tendencies, traits and preferences, the ways of being and behaving that are the result of both nature and nurture. They're our genetic inheritance and they are how those genes are activated as a result of the indivi…

006 How to End Your Addiction 15:36

5M ago15:36

15:36

There is an interesting connection between addictions and the individual belief system. All behaviour, including addictions and compulsions, is the product of whatever subconscious conditioning is in operation. There is no separate decider. As this becomes more obvious, harmful, toxic and problematic behaviour that was carried out to secure the ‘se…

005 Fear and Insecurity 14:31

5M ago14:31

14:31

Every day I speak to people who have intense fears. It can be in any area of life: fear of public speaking, of driving, fear for their health, fear of dying, of not having enough money, of being rejected, and all other areas of life. What they're wanting, and what I wanted so desperately when I was in the midst of my public speaking phobia, was for…

004 How Trauma Influences Your Perception 17:26

5M ago17:26

17:26

Trauma is a distressing event that we can't cope with; that the body-mind system in that period of time doesn't have the capacity to assimilate, to recognise what's going on within the body in relation to it, or to talk about or find a way through it. Often these traumas happen during childhood, because the child is completely dependent on the care…

003 The Struggle and Your Unhappiness 18:55

5M ago18:55

18:55

Our mind is so powerful that it is literally able to cut itself off from reality. It believes whatever it is conditioned to believe. So all the suffering and unhappiness that we’re experiencing, for many of us comes from a deep fear, deep insecurity, a sense of lack, and the shame at the heart of not living up to expectations, of not comparing well…

002 What is the Superpowered Mind? 21:03

21:03

What do we really mean when we talk about a superpowered mind? A superpowered mind is completely sane, completely in reality, with full access to all the data available right now, as well as all the resources of that individual's experience, including the experience beyond the personal, in the nebulous space of the universal subconscious. This is a…

001 What is the Mind? 15:26

5M ago15:26

15:26

Let’s start with the most fundamental aspect of the origin of existence and experience of existence - the nature of the human mind. So, what is the mind? A simple question which we might not have ever inquired into, but which unlocks the entire understanding of ourselves and of reality. Everything begins with that question. In this episode, we’re g…

Free will and awakening: listener question 9:58

6M ago9:58

9:58

I was listening to a video where a teacher was describing his understanding of "free will". The teacher was sharing that freedom comes from awareness. He went on to say that before awareness, we are programmed to operate from the conditioned mind. We are identified with it and in that state there is no free will. Once we begin to wake up, it appear…

I would love to hear your thoughts on this ‘choice/no choice paradox’. “It is equally true that we have every choice and that we have no choice. (That is one of those famous Zen paradoxes we must grow into.) Through awareness practice, we come to see that our world continues to be the same not because that's the way the world is but because we cont…

I came across your podcast about a year ago and love your take on non-duality and the crucial piece of allowing the experience to be had rather than using a non-dual conversation to bypass it.

I am trying to break down my fears and understand what is behind then.

It's all about the p…
