"Stress is a feeling, and like all feelings, it comes only and always from our innocent misuse of the gift of Thought." I just read this from a 3P teacher. A couple of years ago I'd have said 100% yes. But interestingly it really jarred when I read it. Over simplification, spiritual bypass came to mind.
I often wonder if my 'problem' is the feeling like i'm broken and need fixing and all the solutions i have in seeking to 'fix' that e.g even being here and doing these courses ... do they actually somehow feed my problem.
Hi from India ...so happy to find ur game book in Kindle n then later found this blog. I was in the path of wisdom and devotion for few years...I go Tiruvannamalai every week as I live close by in a place called pondicherry...u made it very clear and simple ...it just resonated only from ur words even though u read loads of scriptures....there is no personal self ,u made it clear ...the moment it got cleared there is no more question if apparent reality or forms and it's mechanisms... But still ...
if there is a lingering question it is related to this sentence; "Or, as I suspect, that as our understanding changes, so do the questions and the requests they are showing up with? Because they are ARE us. And simple giving and receiving happens.” How is it possible for the questions and requests to change from one day to another simply as our understanding changes? Say a therapist….. just because their understanding shifts, there will still be clients to be seen who had made their appointments...
if you’re into the 3p, you hard towards ease and flow, we do what our superpower makes us uniquely brilliant at, the easiest way to earn a living. If you’re into Clare, we navigate towards the areas of greatest difficulty and suffering. The hardest way to earn our living, but serves up the only way to know ourselves more deeply….which way to go? Assuming chooser and choices which in theory there are none but doesnt yet look like truth to me yet. And any area of our lives. It’s like you draw that...
I wonder if you could talk a little about how your experience with NLP and hypnosis informs your work and the way you communicate with clients? Am I asking if I'm being hypnotised? Yes 😊 You have full permission to do so of course (as per your podcast yesterday which I loved) Sometimes I listen to/watch your patterns of speech/gestures and I wonder if there are techniques that come from your background in these areas? I'm not a coach so I know nothing about these things. I'd imagine it's a huge...
If you want to see Lottie 'the colleague' I'm referring to - she is here! https://www.dropbox.com/s/1w0h9nt3grg41do/Happy%20New%20Year.mp4?dl=0
I have really been struggling with my mh for the past yr. I think looking back it started with the pandemic, I had Covid & was quite unwell, from then on I experienced a large accumulation of very sad losses , several deaths , relationship breakup , empty nest son leaving for uni , Menapause,it all took a hold. Unfortunately my job came to an end, as I was unable to present for work. I am now in receipt of UC , so on limited income. My overall well-being is not good , personal care is limite...
I spent Christmas on my own because I have broken up with my partner am estranged from my family. I don’t have anywhere to go for New Year either. I do have some friends but they live on the other side of the country and I’m too embarrassed to ask them . I am just so lonely. So fed up of being on my own. It is a deep pain to me to see groups of people laughing together and having fun. How can I create close relationships and stop this feeling of being on my own all the time.
Have listened twice. Will need to listen a few more times I think...but a follow up question: So if we are showing up with our clients who are asking us to create a six-figure business strategy with them so that they can prove to their parents that they can or so that THEN they can relax, or showing up to our kids who are asking us for more social media time so that they can show off how many snaps or toks they have (or whatever the cool kids do) - do we somehow need to first educate them about ...
This conversation makes total sense but my question is what do we do about the world of form? What place is there for business planning? Or holidays? Or running courses? If there is no doer and no decider and everything that is thought is not fixed, constant or based on objective truth (agree) - then are we all left with nothing to do except share non-duality teachings with each other? What about planning how to build an aeroplane? Or deciding what to do about the war in Ukraine? If we're only e...
I recently saw a quote from you along the lines of 'Everything that is not here and now is imagination, categorically'. This is something I've been very very keen to impart to my followers. Can you say something more about this?
One of the things I admire most about you, Clare, is your utter uncompromising integrity. You tell it how it is no matter what, even if it's not what I want to hear. ESPECIALLY when it's not what I want to hear. How does this truth, this honesty look and feel for your, and why do you think this is SO important.
A brief summary of this episode
It looks to me like we are using the same word “I” for 2 different experiences; There seems to be the Big I who is not identified in as the doer/controller and takes into account both the conscious and sub-conscious mind and then there is the little i that is totally identified in as the separate self. Am I seeing this correctly? If so, would it not be so much easier to use different words for the entire “I” (I) and the smaller conscious part of “I” (i)? It seems that every time I use the word “...
And now I recall another thing I would love to hear you speak about again, and that is "separation". What is it, when you use this word what do you really mean? What is not separated from what. I think I know mostly but I remember months ago when you spoke about it I saw something new (but I do not quite remember). And I love that you all the time find new ways of explaining things.
A brief summary of this episode
I’m finishing up the year the way I began it by going through the HOME course. It’s so nice of you to have updated the course with words that now make it so very much more relatable. (Joke) I’m amazed at how much more depth of resonance there is with this course and with the subliminals. I’m deeply grateful. A question comes to mind. It’s hard to express but I guess the essence of it is, does consciousness in form need an “I” to experience life in form? Is that why it bubbles up? I know there ar...
Hi dear Clare! I would love that you speak something about the balance between two things; to see the thing in myself that I see in another ("see the narcissist in me" from your recent podcast) and the thing that we are also influenced by others. I really like that you speak about seeing the same things in ourselves. For me there is a healthy humility that comes from this. But also at the same time see that we are influenced by one another and not bypass our own feelings and accept things from o...
In a call with someone else, I don't remember who, you said 'it's bliss if it's just about the other', which I thought you can say about anything, like just about the form, just about the thing. Can you say more about that, maybe in a podcast
The Complete Book of Awakening. Interview with authors Helen Amery and Sara Priestley. https://thoughtfulraven.co.uk Helen Amery I guide others in their awakening and enlightenment. After my own journey through corporate HR, then psychology-based coaching, I realised there was something more fundamental going on. It opened the door to something I never thought I'd have in my life - a spiritual understanding. It led me to the recognition of who I really am - who we all really are - awakening. And...

Maybe you've already spoken to my question: thoughts are not reality, humans use thoughts to make up concepts, so to speak. Then howcome bypassing is a "thing" to take seriously? Isn't it just another concept? And bypassing / not bypassing becomes irrelevant as there is no bypassing or anything to bypass regardless?
Somewhere in between since i got to your teaching I got very angry thinking: Why it's always has to be on us to do the work. To explore out inside and what's true and to sit with discomfort. And others can walk around without any responsibility/acccountablity doing crazy things and being dick heads. How do we know when this work is done, that we enquiry something as much as we could....and then the jobs are left, relationships are ending, unspoken words get voiced...etc. Also at the same time no...
I've been noticing how challenging it is for the attention to stay with sensations. I revisited your Change course from last year (see attached diagram) where you indicated that physical sensations are intolerable as they confirm the story of self. In the experience over here it feels more like resistance confirms the story, not the feeling of the sensations. The sensations are transitory and reveal flow and change as constants. *Not feeling them* seems to hold the idea of separation in place. M...
It seems the longer I am working with you the less I can make meaning of what you and other reset people are saying. I see your mouths moving and I know you are speaking English but I cannot understand. is that normal?
Clare, the WANT course was absolutely wonderful. I don’t know how you manage to record in advance a video that addresses a question or concern of mine each morning that I listen. Just wonderful! Totally mind-blowing! Throughout this year taking your courses so much has become clear. The suffering, the new information, and the logic of it all has resulted in major shifts. I came to your work to learn more about nonduality. But really with the ulterior motive of fixing/curing/solving a lifelong mu...
My brother contacted me today. We've not spoken in years. When you asked if there were any things unresolved from our past, this is it. This, and my relationship with my Mam. All tied up in a lot of pain from the past. His messages really hit me. Aside from all the specifics of the stories involved in this, what I noticed was an immediate need to reach out. To a friend I have sought closeness with these past few years, to the group, to you. I wondered what can be seen in this. In some ways it se...
What really confuses me is I feel like I am owning all of these “feelings” I have every day, every waking hour of my life. How do we let go, come home, and be home? I wake up, my MIND immediately goes to my teeth, (When I lost everything ($$) with the cancers, I had to stop going to the dentist and now I am embarrassed because every piece of food must be cut up, several teeth are missing, and I haven’t felt comfortable to smile for several years now. I feel horrible about myself. My dad used to ...
This thought came to mind today Clare, please will you create one of your beautiful podcasts around it… Find the narcissist in you. 💭
