I have seen a lot about my weight issues in the last few weeks and days. I saw the war going on inside between wanting to be thin and not being thin and also about wanting to be thin and not being able to make myself thin. Two wars going on, so much effort and exhaustion. In looking deeper, I saw that what I want from being thin is life to be easy, because life is so hard for me. I don’t really have a hard life, the opposite is true, but life appears just so hard, except for eating, sleeping, re...

You often say something like : see what's true, or what is real. This is highly confusing to me. I don't know what the definition of 'true' or 'real' could be. Doesn't it depend of situation and person and, and, and? So it's highly subjective and transient? For example I might see in a moment the truth as beeing treated unfairly by someone, and in another moment just feeling angry, in another moment just feeling energy moving through my body and in another moment just a body sitting. All truth a...

I am afraid to do things wrong in eyes of this course.. or that i am not allowed to have a different view. (Projection) My upbringing was, based on indoctrinate with less room of free thinking and was a lot about those topics of approval and judgment of God. (someone outside of me who says and dictate what i have to think or do.) This caused that I project on others around me, like; They know better than me. I am not good enough. When i am writing this i see it's total confusion. And maybe that'...

Over the years I have learned to trust in following my intuition as best I can. As I might put it now, to make the choices that I most "resonate with" at the time. To put it in your words, I might say that my system will make the choice that makes the most sense to it at the time of the choice. I might also say that in the moment of the choice/action, is the only time that I will know the best choice to make. So, be faced now with some major life changing choices, I wonder. Can I teach my system...

The mind is just going very hard, fast for such a long time. Attacking itself etc It feels like the fear is too big. Guilt, shame. I feel, think that I will never be normal again. Too damaged with all the thoughts.

I have a question about the home course. It seems like it’s increasing my patterns of social anxiety. On the other hand, the things you say don’t really sink in. The information looks like interesting concepts, but i doesn’t cause me to really experience that i am awareness of intelligence of live etc. So listening to the courses and noticing the thoughts and feelings apparently isn’t enough. How does a person comes from the perspective we’re i’m in, to the perspective that you describe? What ca...

I have just watched day 22 video on Aliveness. Your description of your Dad passing reminded me of seeing my Grandad pass, that life of him there one moment and gone the next. He was elderly and poorly and it seems to me that the body couldn’t sustain the life force or aliveness any more. I’m now piecing this together with the suicide of my relative, where it looks to me that the actions of the body prevented the life/aliveness from being able to be in that form any more. Although the body was s...

The Choice by Dr Edith Eger; The Sunday Book This is the passage I read out: A fourteen-year-old boy who had participated in a car theft was sent to me by a judge. The boy wore brown boots, a brown shirt. He leaned his elbow on my desk. He said, “It’s time for America to be white again. I’m going to kill all the Jews, all the niggers, all the Mexicans, all the chinks.” I thought I would be sick. I struggled not to run from the room. What is the meaning of this? I wanted to shout. I wanted to sha...

"You don’t have to create physical objects by your speaking. I don’t have to say, ‘chair, chair, chair’ to have the chair exist. It’s here. I can touch it. I can sit on it. But love is different. States of being don’t exist in physical reality. If you want love, you must speak it into reality, every day. If you stop speaking it, it will disappear.” Steve Hardison

One message some of your podcasts emphasize is that the identity, and what's believed, is in the reactions to things. So when you encourage us to get as close to life as possible by jumping in and doing whatever it is - we can see what's true and what isn't true based on what the reactions are. Today I received news that I've been hired to receive a short term work situation that will pay me the most money for a single job I've made in my life (thank you for these teachings as I think they've co...

I’m really struggling with what is going on in the world “out there” and how this equates to what we are learning about. Would a universal source allow this to happen? I recognise in my own mind body system a physical (sick) feeling caused by genuine fear and anxiety. Whilst I have done my best to avoid the news, it is everywhere. I can switch off when I’m working with the children in my class as I enter their world of joy. But I’m finding everything else completely overwhelming. I suppose my un...

Been loving your podcast questions, be great to hear one regarding the minds use once the personal is dropped, and how much fun to be had with it. I was confused about that in respect to its actual use, thinking it had to go and be silent, and it's not like that at all!

Do we keep questioning the way the mind functions at the same time we keep looking toward what is stable (what you call "true") because seeing the continual motion of thought, feeling and sensation compared to the backdrop of constant presence is what supports the realization of the core "I" as presence, instead of identification as temporary feeling/thought/beliefs? I noticed today that when there is more identification with a feeling, there is more resistance to the feelings we've been conditi...

Briefly my story is that I accidentally disovered the 3P in 2019, it completely changed how I saw things and I trained with Michael Neill Supercoach Academy in 2019. I find that the things I've seen bring so much ease and freedom to my life and I love helping clients find the same ease and freedom. However, I know that this only goes so far. Questions around behaviours, fears, other things, don't feel like they are fully addressed by the 3P understanding alone. Patterns repeat, fears stay in the...

Yesterday during the webinar you were talking going through it, feeling it all. But what about immediately reacting, numbing. This just happens. I didn't want to feel reality at that moment. Because I was ashamed I felt disgust about someone, I didn't want that. I felt sorry for the person and ashamed so I numbed it. I know I started, or the system started to do that. And now I am so numbed, closed, it's like the system isn't able to be natural anymore. It worries me....

You often use the metaphor mountain - no mountain - mountain. And you also encourage us to stay with the discomfort, to notice it, observe it, and see what's believed and what's actually true in those moments. A peer in your community shared with me that staying with the discomfort is "no mountain" - can you speak to that? I'm not seeing what she's seeing yet.

I have a question after hearing the last Home webinar, which I could not attend in person. You spoke about the conceptual mind as a gift, the only problem being that it makes a concept of self. But as I understand it at the moment, to build a concept of self is inevitable in the developmental phase. There is a time where the child just realizes it is a separate entity somehow and we call this I. So if this is the problem, why is it built into our evolutionary design? Or is it only in our culture...

I have long turned to writing as a way of, what feels like, processing or making known felt insights. Something stirs in me and I reach for my laptop to try to put words to the knowing that is felt. I love the process of trying to match words to a feeling. When what is written feels as complete as I can make it, I go back and reread it. I’m often struck by the wisdom, beauty and deep resonance in my words. I know I’m reading Truth. The moment passes and if I were to reread these same words later...

When I hear about the observer and the observed being the same thing it feels like there is a deep truth to this. My (very simplistic) understanding of quantum physics seems to point in that direction. I teach in a school for a living. So in my day to day experience, it seems as if what I'm being asked to do by my employer is to control the behaviour and (to an extent) the thoughts of others. But really, if there are no pupils and no me this can't really be the case? I feel like there is a lot t...

I feel like a grenade has gone off inside of me, very thing going off and blown up inside of me. I am experiencing the raw grief and heart ache of loosing my husband as you know. I have properties trying to be sold and yet have no home. I have money held in the bank but have no money. The security I had with being with my husband has blown up I am no longer a WE. I no longer have my husband to do things together. Wills and taxes and so much more having to be dealt with. I am learning from the co...

I was listening to the podcast about ‘Why do I shut down?’ As you know I’ve been experiencing anxiety and depression, everything has improved a bit even the low mood isn’t as low but the comment about triggers in the podcast and information that is being given made me curious. I notice that I am constantly comparing my life to others and as my life circumstances currently don’t feel favourable (although I know that is very outside-in) I have feelings of jealously, lack of connection and desponde...

Can you please help me out? The 'i' concept is not real. Like Allan Watts said in the quote you discussed on the "Saturday quote podcast." But the experience of it seems real. I can see that we are the lifeforce/consciousness but on the other hand my experience from nanosecond to nanosecond differs.. i sometimes really get lost in the stories the i (made of thoughts intangeled in each other) spins. Full of blame, selfpity, anger and fear. Then my body gets contracted, my heart area hurts. I want...
