Listener question: I am considering what is at stake when the fear is future physical suffering. It’s not immediate physical harm or the examples of idea of self you gave. But since the fear is about something physical (sensations and harm), there does seem to be something solid there to protect. It does seem like a mother bear on its hind legs - not in front of me but around the corner! Although I see that it is all a creation of mind - and therefore as nonexistent as identity, confidence, repu...

Listener question: in this body-mind there is a constant underlying feeling of not living my full potential. With getting older rapidly, questions about achievements getting louder, are there any? And what’s actually holding me back from being an artist, there is a longing and a fear in equal measures. What’s holding me back?

Listener question: Resistance is felt in this notion of that everything that is showing up is an exact mirror of ourselves. So if we stop reacting to aggression aimed at us, isn’t there a risk of being treated like a doormat? Although instantly I see this is the same dual perspective. So i need to stay still with these aggressions to see more about the dual dynamics in it? There is a deep fear/hurt in being guilty for everything, so it’s Hard to stay still with that. And the question arises how ...

Listener question: I am a bit unsure around 'severe' conditions like multiple personality and clinical depression - I wonder whether these are showing up as cycles of belief or if there is a physical component to those.

Listener question: Today I got triggered by a colleague, deep hurt was felt because I could feel hatred oozing from him. It seemed like he projected his unfounded hatred onto me, constant micro aggressions and the whole day there was a toxic atmosphere in the air. He apologised but continued to be hostile. It seemed I had a slightly different perspective on this than in the past, I could see that it was his thought storm and I didn’t have to go automatically into self blame. But still I was tryi...

Listener question: A question that often comes up with my readers and clients is this idea of needing to process ‘stuck’ emotions and trauma in the body. Especially since working with the 3Ps approach I have seen less and less of a need for this and am not sure it serves people with psychological suffering. I do believe thoughts change our physical chemistry and can lead to what we see as clinical depression, but I am less sure about stuck trauma. What do you think?...

Listener question: I realised every time I’d been triggered today was because I was witnessing my perception of bullying behaviour. Then I realised all of the people at work I have issue with are the strong minded, direct talking, pushy, in your face characters and I perceive them as bullies. I’ve realised bullying is a huge huge trigger. It’s been my last few posts. It is coming through time and again. If the behaviour is directed at me I feel inferior, intimidated, tearful, unhappy, not good e...

Listener question: I am making delicious treats for my very picky dog (more cat than dog), I finally found some that she likes. And I very much love doing all that and there is so little of quality ones at the market and I am thinking of selling it. BUT – I would be in business where animals would be slaughtered because of me! So I think that in the end, I probably won't go with it... (I still am not really sure.) But I think this is really an interesting topic and you might have some interestin...

Listener question: At work my line manager has very limiting beliefs and uses me to vent to about anyone and anything which annoys her. I find this increasingly difficult to deal with....... Most of the time I don’t agree and recently rather than going with it I have found myself trying to reason with her and convert her to my beliefs! Why? I know I can’t change her......... Every time this happens though I just find myself annoyed, upset, stressed out and exhausted by it. It’s almost daily and ...

Listener question: Do you have any comments that I could consider in terms of taking blame or feeling guilt for something, please? The position of self (which feels like me, inseparable, not something I am observing) is that I made choices to set boundaries in relationships, which in these instances meant prioritising a professional coaching relationship rather than a friendship. The result in the others is that they feel rejected and hurt. I feel responsible for their pain and I hate that I hav...

Listener question: I am wondering how you see boundaries in the context of non-duality. I would say that I have very weak boundaries whilst being deeply suspicious that we need them! If we are in touch with our true self does that not take care of the need for them?

hi Clare - I wonder if you could sum up the simple essential truths about this understanding. I love how you explain everything in different ways to make it more understandable. It shows how this works in our daily life. But sometimes it feels good for me to see the big and simple picture, to get back to simplicity. It gives an overview or a frame for it all.
