Episode notes
Self-Concept Is A Mental Construction
- Clare Dimond: The self-concept is a mental device used to imagine future and past versions of ourselves and to project into others' minds.
- Believing that concept literally makes the mind battle its own creation and drains energy defending an imagined entity.
No Separation Between Self And Reality
- Clare Dimond: External reality and our self-concept arise from the same conditioning and are not truly separate.
- The more we defend our self-idea, the more relationships and events will reflect that insecurity back to us.
Behavior Emerges From Subconscious Patterns
- Clare Dimond: Behavior, emotions and perceptions originate from a subconscious foundation, so free will is an illusion of the conscious mind.
- Seeing behavior as subconscious reveals underlying fears and needs rather than proving or disproving our worth.
