I really valued your two Podcasts last month on clean questions and have listened to them several times. I see a link between don Miguel Ruiz’s most important First Agreement; Be Impeccable With Your Word and Clean Language/Clean Coaching. Please can you expand further on what you mean by clean questions and where it originated? I am just about to order Radical Candor and I wondered how that ties in with clean questions too. Please can you share a further Podcast on this?...

Listener question: Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the topic of selfidentity.. I am a musician and will soon have some concerts that seem very important for my future. I don‘t feel prepared enough, I have this feeling that I really don‘t know what is going to happen and if I will be able to play the pieces or if I will be too nervous. At the same time, I know that I would have the same feeling even if I had more time to prepare. I started wondering if playing in front of an audience kind o...

Listener question: Can you speak to the mind's tendency to hear/label statements like "there is no other" or "there is no self" or "any thought isn't true, all thoughts are untrue" or "this world is an illusion" as denial or bypassing illness, injury, racism, and other harms in this physical world? Is this a slippery way for the mind to reinforce itself and be "right" with its insistence that there IS a world, people, etc.? Or is the mind reinforcing itself when it avoids illness, injury, racism...

I’m revisiting the material in the YOU course and during one of the lessons you spoke about the: “Localisation of being in this apparent form” I’m not sure that I quite understand what you mean! I get the second part, the apparent form, but can’t grasp what you mean by localisation of being! Would you be able to talk more about this on a Podcast sometime please?

I've struggled with being significantly overweight most of my adult life and I'm finding myself more and more confused about it. This conversation has helped me to see more clearly around other suffering and I feel much more at peace with whatever arises. However, when I'm suffering about my weight (which is often) and I look at what's true, I get confused. It is true that it's healthier not being so overweight, and then there's hunger, I don't know when it's real or habit etc. Also, when you sa...

This may have been answered before, but how do you know where to draw the line in relationships? I have been married for over 30 years. My husband regularly -maybe once a month or every couple of months - loses his temper and then will shout and swear at me. I have told him not to do that on many occasions, and how my ‘self esteem ‘ ( I know, intellectually, no such thing, if no self)then sinks even further because I don’t just walk out. But if all is inside out, it is my thoughts about the shou...

I was wondering if you could follow up on your recent Podcast about 'Who are we' to talk about what makes us unique? Fundamentally we are all the same awareness, intelligence & energy made into form but what about personalities, preferences and skills? People in reality can seem very different - some people are more analytical and scientific whereas others are naturally creative or good at practical things. Where does this conversation sit with nature v's nurture? I like the idea that we all...

I have been reflecting on the use of the terms consciousness/awareness which appear to be interchangeable in the way some teachers use them and life/animating force/intelligence. I have heard our true self as both awareness and life/animating force/intelligence and although I know they are all concepts I wonder if you could help me understand them as relative concepts a bit better or in fact if they are pointing to the same indescribable truth.

Can you speak more to how dissolution of the self concept, or the belief in it, makes us more of what/who we really are? Who are we if we aren't identified with the constriction of fear? Thank you

I wanted to ask you about a lack of motivation for the conversation I have felt since dropping out of the STRESS course, I am doing the YOU course but feel I'm just going through the motions. I still enjoy and always listen to the podcasts, it seems to be the courses that are affected. When I dropped out of the STRESS course I could see that it was because the lesson (16) hit a nerve. I was having to face my biggest fear. I can see that it was part of SELF preservation but I'm getting caught up ...

Listener question: Being at work I am acutely sensitive to other peoples moods, interpersonal undercurrents and not to mention so-called elephants in the room. It feels like my sensitivity is too open for this maybe unhealthy atmosphere. What am missing here, what's true? How can I feel safer in this environment?

Your courses seem to provide a safe place to explore that the identity is not what we really are. So is that we are providing a support for the brain-body system so that the identity is less insecure that the information goes in? Or is it that when wholeness speaks to the wholeness the identity is simply less of a factor? both/and?

Hello, Just want to ask what you think of something that bothers me. Don’t really know why, but I’ll ask and if you don’t want to answer it’s ok. I don’t like subliminals. It’s not that I don’t like it, I would love it if I worked, and maybe it does, just like hypnosis,nlp,eft and so on. My thought is why do you use that, isn’t it to “risky” for you to get involved in “a technique”. What I come to like about 3p and non duality is that it’s vey pure, just our basic understanding of how we work as...

I currently feel as though I'm putting in a lot of mental effort to be 'conscious' of my thoughts and to bring awareness to what is being believed and felt in the moment. It's like a huge amount of self-talk back and forth with the ego. Especially in those moments of heightened anxiety or in anticipation of future events, I am trying to coach myself or rationalise the feelings in order to calm down*. I definitely have an increasing level of awareness but it has not become natural or effortless. ...

In relation to the podcast I have been noticing when I tell someone something, because of a hidden reason that I want to tell them. For example, I may bring up to someone about me being busy on Saturday doing a bike ride because I secretly want them to know I am going biking. When they never asked and I could of just said I am busy on Saturday. That is not a great example however it happens all the time. It is not a clean response to an answer to someone’s question because I, for some ego based ...
