When the identity is struggling to survive I am noticing a yucky feeling especially when conversing with others as if I am trying to bolster my identity and then I reflect back on the conversation and feel double yucky.
Hi lovely Clare, your video on generational healing was so timely for me. I recently met a homeopath for my son. She was very intuitive and told me that his 'autism' is not really autism but rather a result of generational trauma! She said in order for him to heal that I need to go into long term therapy to have someone connect me back to my heart space and my feelings. She said I am traumatised and emotionally disconnected and this has been passed down from my parents/grandparents etc due to ho...
I know that a lot of suffering is caused by the future imaginations of the mind. If I understood properly, you suggested that not avoiding things and meeting reality with whatever shows up will reveal and heal. What if this doesn't seem to be happening. I don't avoid things as it's work related so it seems that I can't, and I keep having the same experience. The revealing part is showing up, but I don't think any healing is happening. I have a suspicion that you might say something about resista...
When The Body Says No by Dr Gabor Maté. The Sunday Book
Should you really open your eyes and see, you would behold your image in all images. And should you open your ears and listen, you would hear your own voice in all voices. Khalil Gibran
If you get a chance, I’d love it if you could say more about something I hear in the first wholeness video. You said that’s when something has happened and we say ‘I’m ok with it now’ we aren’t. If there is still an ‘it’ we are not done. This feels really cool and important somehow but I can’t put my finger on it. So, for example, with sleep I have felt and said on numerous occasions that I’m ok with not sleeping and the issues it caused me BUT this is the same as saying I’m not ok with it 😂🙃I...
Something keeps popping into my head and I am hoping you can shed some light on it. Hopefully I will be able to explain what the question is. I have an understanding through your teachings that we really don’t have any control over the future – that we are life experiencing itself. That life happens from moment to moment. I also keep hearing in the spiritual world about manifestation… about being able to manifest your future. I am wondering if I have some missing understanding here as this is co...
Have you experience in working with people who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. I’m looking for some support. I am a student of non duality for over 10 years. I’m struggling to deal with the nuts and bolts of life with this condition. I was diagnosed six years ago when I was 54 years old after having read Gabor Mates book. I would like to know your thoughts. Many thanks.
A brief summary of this episode
First off I want to express my profound gratitude for you and for the HOME course. The videos, the subliminals, the webinars, the FB page, interactions with other participants have all been revelatory. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My question: I've been loving the subliminals. With the first one I felt some, for lack of a better description, movement in the body/mind. But as I became acclimated to it I found I could play it and subsequent ones pretty much all the time and could even fall asl...

A brief summary of this episode
Some comments on this article: https://claredimond.com/hopelessness-of-hope/ "I’ve got to say it’s the very toughest absence as a clinician to work with someone who is hopeless. " "Or being the person without hope it’s almost impossible to see around it at the time." "Without some differentiation some readers may miss the great message because they may feel you are saying we are helpless pawns unable to change the world."
I'm seeing a person I care about struggling. Seeing the world as against them. Playing out the patterns of their childhood. There are urges to point out where this person is getting things 'wrong'. And maybe to be their 'saviour' even. I see that ideas of me...and them are all over this ... It's confusion. For sure. Starting here, I can look to the ways that I do this? Does this mean not challenging the thinking of others? Ever? I want to ask if it's wrong to try to share the things this convers...
Much of what you write seems to touch on the illusion of the self and how this is the source of a good number of our problems. However, I think I can differentiate between two 'selves': there's the 'fictional' self which is the one which creates either hypothetical future scenarios (about which we can scare ourselves sh*tless) or which ruminates needlessly over past regrets; and there's an 'authentic' self which seems to me at least to be able to step back and observe such imaginings more dispas...
I was wondering how prayer fits into this conversation. I have always spoken to whoever :God, angels, the Universe, and it is always soothing and helpful. Now I am wondering, what is this, the 'I' speaking to itself? I always feel guidance and help through this conversations, so how would you see this topic?
I really want to have insight in reality. I’m all in, but it feels like I’m doing something wrong. Instead of sleeping, I lie awake at night - pondering on what is true; instead of playing with my kid, i’m asking what’s at stake; instead of working I’m trying to feel what I’m feeling. It’s a total mess and I’m afraid that if I continu like this, I end up in a straight jacket and getting a lobotomy ;-) So for one more time: can you please elaborate on what you mean with the question: what is trut...
Stealing Fire by Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheal. Sunday Book
Life events can be tragic and challenging, but who we are is never broken. We have the resource of our true nature that does not exist in the world of form. It cannot be comprehended by the intellect, but the deeper knowing of the resilience and wellbeing it provides can be felt.
I wonder if there exists something which could be called ''Innate morality''? That rules given from society, what's right what's wrong are no longer needed on macro level and something new arises from understanding of who we truely are, as more and more people start to live their lives from this understanding. Would wars, murders and violence still exsist as behaviors?
My whole life has been turned upside down since my divorce and I have recently become aware of an intense fear of abandonment that seems to be controlling all aspects of my life especially my relationships. Also a deep fear has been uncovered that I do not want anyone to know my true feelings and self for fear of this rejection and abandonment. I cannot go on living this way and so desperate want to be free but it is not clear how and the control and hypervigilance continues.. it seems to be so ...
I was overweighed and (in my eyes) unattractive since I was a kid. I went through periods of dieting and binging until about 12 years ago I fell in love with movement/fitness and when exercising stopped being a way to lose weight but something I simply etnjoyed; it made me feel good and gave me energy. The weight loss followed naturally and so did changes in what I ate. My whole body shape changed and I’d be getting a lot of compliments since and I also got to the point where I could have said I...
Would you be able to say a bit more about the reason why "Non Duality" speaks to Wholeness, more than the word "wholeness" does? (ref your first video on Wholeness in Home). For me wholeness is the whole, there isn't anything outside that. If there's an implication, inherent in the word "whole", that there is something else that is not whole, then why isn't that also true for the word Non Duality - which points to the state of the very absence of non-duality very clearly. Simply because of the p...
As we progress through the HOME course I have noticed that I have been unsettled, unhappy, scared and just haven’t really felt happiness and peace inside me. The more I listen the more I am becoming scared of my feelings, of what is showing up in life. At first I was meeting whatever is showing up and felt my understanding was growing. My question is I feel my ego, self whatever we call it is trying to self sabotage. To frighten me off. My mental chatter is becoming so much louder and constant t...
Frientimacy by Shasta Nelson
We're not human beings having a spiritual experience. We're one spiritual being having seven billion human experiences. And who you really are is that one spiritual being. Your true identity is consciousness itself. Teilhard de Chardins
Can I ask you a question please ? I heard Jeff foster say that once the fear is in the body it has been admitted/ allowed there . And it’s just like a wave not separated from the ocean . Is this my opportunity to see the fear for what it is ? The apparent seperation - but still one with consciousness. My resistance by the mind to whatever the body has admitted is the source of my suffering? And unless I just allow it to be there it will plague me forever. It makes acceptance a little bit easier ...
In one particular area the stakes seem really high if I’m not going to be able to face a certain situation which is quite imminent. I’m aware this is just a story as I have no idea how it will turn out but equally I feel very uncomfortable and sometimes overwhelmed about this sticky area.
I have real financial problems. I am living hand to mouth in a job I hate and am desperate to leave. I feel completely trapped. It seems to me that there is a reality to money and that anyone who says it is just a mental creation is just denying the facts and making it worse for those of us in poverty. There is a webinar on 6th April 8-9 pm BST to look at the hidden treasures that money reveals....
