Listener question: stuckness and motion

Listener question: I'm listening to the 1:1 conversations from the Change course. In one of them, you say the following:"The stuckness of mind is reflected in the stuckness of health or body, or the stuckness of surroundings or the stuckness of relationships, it's dynamic."I have not yet noticed a lot of shifting in the area where there's been a lot of stuckness around finances/work. There's motion but it almost seems like it's happening outside of me...unintegrated somehow. The mind is very sticky still. I don't really understand what's happening there. Where I have noticed a lot of shifting is with the body. I've started swimming twice a week in addition to nearly daily walks, I've managed to drink at least 2.5 L of water a day on top of tea and coffee and a smoothie. There's also been shifting in relationships where time with friends has involved more personal sharing than usual. And the movement of the body is happening despite the mind saying "I don't want to go swim" or feeling queasy or having fears "did I say something wrong" after time with a friend. Is this what you mean when you say that motion in one area ends up leading to motion in another? So there's freedom showing up in the body and in relationships and some of that stuckness of mind is moving too?

Listener question: oneness

Listener question: I can't see my head except when I look in the mirror. So when I see someone else's face, I don't think, that's me. Is that because we learned this? We are all one  means:  we are all one in the way the systems works? Not in form. So to realise that is were forgiveness starts? You are not doing this to me, you are just doing (in form). Or there is just doing and here it is seen as done by another person.Like someone says: you are stupid, you shouldn't have done that. That is just what there is and without making it personal, both sides, a fluid reaction will come? And if not I can see that I made it personal. And the more I see that, the more it will fade away?

Listener question: sabotage

What if the mind uses this understanding for sabotaging its own glimpses of understanding?There were glimpses and openings to a more peaceful, joyful way of being in the past. And since the change course there is an observation of of relentless negative activity of the mind, attempting to destroy this loving, joyful bodymind in myriads of ways. It feels like once the mind is in its old conditioned neuropathways it’s impossible to get out of there. Especially when I’m doing things that are there to be judged by everyone.The pure observation of these patterns didn’t dissolve them , it’s just very painful to witness.What is not seen here that keeps these unhealthy patterns so firmly in place?

Listener question: is the design wrong?

I just can’t help wondering why on earth we were designed this way?! It seems human nature has evolved (probably) to become really complicated, so that we need to spend so much time in discovery of our true self rather than that being the default. What’s anyone’s thoughts on that?

Listener suggestion: you should focus less on mind and body

Just completed the final lesson of the Change course. Thank you Clare for a wonderful journey. The exploration of the personal identity was especially useful. It seems that as you say it has enormous evolutionary advantages. We just need to learn how defending a concept is never going to succeed. My only suggestion is that if you focus less on the construct that is our body/mind system it would be easier for some of us to see beyond it.

Listener question: food, eating and stress

I was wondering if you could do a Podcast about gaining weight, food and the stress around it? I wish I could just eat 3 meals a day, enjoy it and not think about gaining weight. Instead I do not eat a proper meal, snack the whole day (specially now in Home Office), constantly think about food and keep beating myself up that I do not eat a proper meal. The excess calories I gain with the snacking I compensate with sports (which too is no fun anymore). The thought of gaining weight is terrible. I feel it is again one of your "Catch-22“: I am stressed about eating a packet of chips and cookies instead of a proper healthy meal - and then I calm my stress with eating more chips and cookies… I know it sounds like I am joking with myself - but still, I would love some insights around it!

Listener question: self compassion

I’ve been thinking about this “self-compassion” idea and wondering what you make of it, how the non-dual understanding would see “self compassion” especially if there’s no self to be compassionate toward, and how to talk about it.

Listener question: I can't find the awareness

What I am confused about is the "awareness/consciousness" as my true self.   I feel I don't know or don't experience consciousness directly. I experience or sense it only from  what I am aware "of", and not from an actual space or knowing of conciousness. When I ask myself who am I, I am aware of myself asking, and I am aware of being aware of that asking. It doesn't go anywhere, all I see is layer upon layer upon layer of thought created through me. It feels like all I am is always  thought... and I'm aware of that too being another thought.;)I'm laughing now, as I re read this,  it all sounds so ridiculous.  I think I'll send it anyway.

Listener question: overloaded brain

Listener question: Another question: my brain is overloaded and my heads hurts all the time (so is the rest of my body - + heart rythm disorder). (. The questions you ask in the second recording "What is at steak "can't be answered anymore(I did it in the past with the help of coaches over and over again and found a lot of answers). My outside situation has changed and is better, but my brain stays overworked as if it is continously looking for a way out and can't find it.  It still believes those needs, insecurities, fears and grief. So it keeps me in an emotional rollercoaster.  My brain will never find a solution for this - so I skip the question: what is at steak" and just go on...
