For the last forty-five years, the thought of ending my life has passed through my mind at least twice a week. It started when I was seven, attempted aged seventeen, and after that hanging myself is constantly in my thoughts. I’ve worked with a psychologist psychotherapist, and tantric teachers, I’ve explored somatic experiences, and brain therapy through shifting mindset, I’ve been doing Ashtanga yoga for ten years five days a week, been doing vipassana meditation for twenty years. I have wonde...

I was listening to your podcast the other day and something you said around 'no truth in what the mind is projecting', made me think, maybe that's not true?! My mind projects something and it seems to come true time after time. Can you say a little about this?

I am in a relationship in which I am suffering. should I stay in it to ‘get the gifts’ as you say or should I get out?

why look at the mechanics of how life works. Why can’t we listen to more of how to be in the world rather than look at how the mechanics of our own system works.

Can you talk about trust and decision how do I make decisions in work and in relationships if there is no doer? Since following the three principles I have based my actions on following my intuition and wisdom and it has helped but now that this idea of no doer is thrown into the mix I’m not sure how to decide things.

That is one thing I find very hard to come to terms with re non duality - love. The love I feel for my husband feels/is so real, just as I am certain sure is the love you feel for your children. I'm struggling to accept how the reality of our deepest, most "meaningful" relationships seems to evaporate along with everything else in this understanding. But there's no understanding of this unfathomable-ness we find ourselves in that can render the desolation of those we love's death any the easier ...

I tried to stop vaping yesterday, I finished the book and everything made sense. I didn’t last very long! I’ve been writing it out and it clearly feels very unsafe to stop vaping. The identity is terrified and I felt so unsafe. Logically I know that vaping cannot make me safe, but it feels like it does, as it’s keeps the identity and separate self alive. It is bad for me and I am bad so… I can only stay alive in that identity. (It doesn’t feel anywhere near as threatening to do the walking/ wate...

Thank you for a brilliant today's podcast. It helped to see it also from a bit different angle. We could so easly end our 1:1 conversation in total different direction... we could end in war. What are the odds of two people out of 8 bilion, who are different age, different cultur, different nationality, different background, different language, etc. to have a sane conversation which is healing for both sides :) What we demonstrated in our conversation and what you teach fills me with hope for al...

My question is regarding this mind-body returning to being a tube….is this the same as Mindfulness (as in being the Observer?) And if not, what is the difference?

Do you know that when you write “accountability” I scratch my head a bit. What is accountability again ? 🙄😂

I have been watching the violence in Israel in absolute horror. So many innocent people killed and injured. I feel angry not just with the perpetrators but also with my spiritual exploration because in these moments talking about reality and self seems to be nothing but bypass. A complete waste of time when what is required is action because of course this is real, this is actually happening. How do I not become disillusioned both with the state of the world and humanity and with non-duality tha...

When there is no do-er, no chooser, no decider - how can a pattern of abusive behaviour, particularly towards others, stop? The pattern of ‘wanting’ to intimidate others is noticed. It isn’t wanted…….but how will it or can it stop?

Hi Clare, I am a listener of your podcast and I have a question I've been wrestling with for awhile that I'm hoping you can touch on. I am struggling with the teacher-student aspect of this understanding or any spiritual understanding for that matter. In my life, I feel like I constantly have so many questions about what is true or not, who is telling the truth and really just what is the truth? And listening to non-dual teachers, reading books, watching videos or anything is relieving a bit bec...

Clare you talk about the I, myself. That it doesn't exist. If this is so then who are we, and how do we refer to ourselves? I don't understand the message you are trying to give.

It was a great podcast thank you! I appreciate the wild goosechase reminders. The caveat seems to be that the mind will create resistance to feeling each time, there's no doer that does the resisting, it just happens, yet there's the witnessing of it happening that's also where the potential for it shifting is. The agenda is in the resistance. The witnessing of it has no agenda. For some reasons this feels like a paradox. Might be overthinking. It feels like there's a separate me that is the o...

I thought for a while whether I had any follow ups or anything but tbh I couldn’t take in your response. I keep asking people for help in the form of wanting advice or joining various courses, trying to find someone who gets it and to help me see what to do about various things, not just my daughter, but don’t seem to be able to receive the response and I’m not really sure what to do with that. As I write that I’m realising that that is what I’ve heard you talk about, the ask and the observing o...

Hi Clare I have a question for you separate from this video. I wondered whether or not you have a faith, believe in god or a higher presence? If so how important is this concerning living in the present moment, actuality etc, or does it have no bearing at all?

thank you Clare and the listener who wrote in about their conditioning of wanting to run away during a wake. I understand that there is no doer that changes conditioning but is it true to say that they way we act and behave can change someone else’s conditioning.

Email 1 thank you so for talking about my email i do get it clare but it's so hard for me to understand my conditioning when everyone else's conditioning is like the same i no it's not the same but they seem to be able to be a part of gatherings and parties and me i just want to run away i don't even know how i got this programme in me because my family are Irish and growing up we always had massive gatherings and i always would be hiding somewhere mostly under a table .i did read a school repor...
