I have a question for you that maybe you can address on a podcast if appropriate. My question is about all the conspiracy theories flying around about what's currently going on in the world (some of which are quite frightening!!). Going back to basics, it seems that nothing is really true. If everything is simply a reflection of the identity, do conspiracy theories appearing everywhere in front of my eyes just reflect my own fear and mistrust of what's going on and nothing more? So is there no p...

Listener question: As a follow up from today’s podcast can you please talk more about what you mean by ‘going into the body’ I’ve spent years scanning the body as a way to determine ‘how I’m doing’ This is unhelpful as it just ramps up my thinking! How is what you’re proposing different?

Listener question: Can you say more about when something is a pattern from the brain-body keeping an idea of self in place versus when it's a quality of unique beingness? It seems like anything can be either. In looking over patterns from a no-self accountability perspective, some patterns seem like they are preferences of this brain-body...sometimes keeping a self in place and sometimes not. For example this brain-body loves new experiences. On one hand, this body doesn't seem to find as much o...

Listener question: Just woke up. My alarm went off. I noticed for a very few seconds, kindness, friendliness. Then thoughts came, you have to, must (work etc). I started to think this at a certain moment in my life. I feel miserable right now, heavy, low, haert beating (almost every morning). It is hard to to let those thoughts feelings go, I think they scare me so much that I want to reduce them or something in my head. As if I am trying to manage them. But then they only stick isn't it. They f...

I have a short question: You speak often of going deeper into the experience and asking ourselves „what’s at stake here?“ That’s the point where the mind usually goes totally blank. Could you maybe give us some real life examples of how this would look, feel, be in simple terms please?

Listener question: Dear Clare I wonder if you have any help regarding anxiety? My anxiety has been in the background for the last 15 years. And I feel like all the actions I do are just to avoid feeling it. The discomfort is too much. I'd love my anxiety to end for good. Is there a way to get rid of it other than to just accept living with it?

hi Clare Can you talk about boundaries and relationships please? I’m in a relationship and I like him very much but I don’t know if he is good for me and I don’t know if that is just my fears of imtimacy resulting from a difficult childhood or whether it is a wisdom telling me to be careful with someone who could potentially harm or upset me. Thanks

Listener question: there has been a pattern in the past decade plus of judging my partner as "not giving me enough attention" and there is lots of evidence the mind will use to bolster this position. In recent months as I've worked with integration practices or noticing the patterns of self (sometimes called the shadow, or the unconscious) there's been a willingness to receive from my partner in a way that feels new. Then, in that receptivity, there is a feeling of deep received support, a form ...

Listener question: how does this blog post fit in this conversation? "Wherever you go, however far you travel, regardless of how hard you try to disconnect, you will always be there. I think, more than anything else, I began to realize the importance of living a life that I can be proud of . Because there is simply no escaping it. You will always be you. You can travel to the ends of earth, but you always take yourself with you.The habits we form, the relationships we foster, the parenting strat...

I loved your analogy about marriage being like a car which can loose its purpose (besides looking pretty in the driveway). On a similar line I was thinking of past relationships like old dresses which became too small in size and are not my style anymore but still hang in my closet. The closet gets so full that no more new clothes fit in - no more new ones fit in and at the same time I cannot wear the old ones. Back to the relationships in this analogy: I still remember all the birthdays, the da...

' While conversing the conversation flows and when I begin to feel like my “I” is in need of defense, protection and/or reaction I feel it, i become aware almost like a thick yellow highlighter is highlighting a scene. I continue to remember nothing is personal. We all have our own conditioned beliefs and that is where behavior arises from. And don’t meddle. Meddling was awhile ago a behavior of mine when “I” felt it was my job to explain this paradigm to others. I am now seeing how that too was...

What I'm not seeing is that you said we don't have free will- that the programming is running the show and it is that that decides all behaviours. An incident in the past therefore could not be personal or have been any other way because the programme decided the action. Does that not relinquish the individual of any responsibility then? Are we saying that they literally had no capacity for awareness in that moment to think 'I can choose not to take this action'?

I have been reading recently about how people who experienced the realisation of non-duality (not sure how else I could call it) experience life day to day. What’s the difference between the before and after the realisation. A few people pointed out that any kind of emotional suffering completely ceased for them and they experience nothing but peace or bliss every single day I don’t know why I’m sceptical of it but that’s my problem :) so I thought I’d ask you about your experience and whether t...

I see how much the “I” hates hates hates hates a colleague and a particular situation. Being with that anger in my body is challenging but slightly more possible than before. Is it a sign of my boundaries being crossed (origin of the pattern from early childhood)? Or what is under thread here in my identity?

Listener question: I'm not sure how to best put this question other than when there's this suggestion to move toward where there is the most resistance and fear, and to do whatever the things are that seem to bring up fear - what if there's no clear "most" fear? What if the body seems to go into resistance to any number of situations. Is it just pick one, any of them? I keep replaying our call together for this section: "watch the playout of the resistance, the fears, and what seems to be at sta...

I am hoping you could do a podcast around a subject of ”not knowing and health issues”. My son got a diagnosis of borreliosis recently. What has been a pattern so far when it comes to health related issues is an activity of using google and getting more information on the subject and getting more help from alternative medicin. I don’t seem to trust medical experts in the western medicin while I have had too many bad experiences and learned about so many other alternative methods that can be less...

Listener question: I still get caught up in or am stuck with the stories created by the ego mind when it comes to public speaking...and I know how familiar that will be to you with your own personal experience! I work in a fairly senior marketing job for a large corporation and 'public speaking' formally or informally is a major part of my day to day life! For big presentations or customer meetings I am often having panic attacks in the moments before (& even during) where the fight or fligh...

I was very impacted by the webinar last night. It’s really got me thinking about what we really are. I think the idea that the self is just learnt patterns that our brain joins up and makes a person from is fascinating. It’s like something at the very edge of my vision at the moment and if I try and look at it too much it disappears. But it’s really left me thinking - in a good way! It leave me wondering who I am, what I am? And in a way more importantly to me in this moment , what other people ...
