"But hope is all some people have.." Answering comments on an article exploring the hopelessness of hope

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."

Helping others? Listener question

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 conversation has shown me (even though I know that question in itself containx the confusion)The confusion is suggesting to me that this whole dilemma is created from the idea of self and other

'Two selves or all illusion?' Listener question

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 dispassionately. This latter self seems to be able to experience moments which are hard to put into words because they seem to be accompanied by feelings of expansiveness or perhaps transcendence, and they are very fleeting, but the poets and mystics have spoken and written about them throughout the ages, and far more eloquently than I can muster.

Prayer? Listener question

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?

Desperate to understand: listener question

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 truth? I think that you mean that all the thinking and ‘selfing’ exists only in my head and therefore it isn’t truth. But for me, the thoughts and feelings look very real. Knowing on some philosophical level that thought isn’t real, isn’t enough for me. I really want to know.

"...who we are is never broken...' Rohini Ross. Wonder-Full Words

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.

Innate morality: Listener question

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?
