Listen "032 The Brick Wall"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is called “The Brick Wall”, because we're talking about a dead end and a complete full stop to the wants and needs to secure which cannot be secured. And that’s the identity. Identity relies on the belief system of being a separate, controlling entity. It's the attempt to control the experience of being, to control what we think of ourselves and what other people think of ourselves. Every single want that relates to controlling the experience of being is a 100% unfulfillable quest. And yet, our entire lives are dedicated to fulfilling these wants, and enormous industries are dedicated to maintaining these wants in place in the guise of fulfilling them. So today we’re going to unpack this wild goose chase that is securing the ego identity, and we’ll see how we can go in a different direction, other than hitting the brick wall over and over again. What is Covered: -How the beauty industry and alcohol industry exploit our fundamental insecurity-Why the wants and desires that begin and end with ‘me’ are completely unachievable-Why our wants attempt to control the uncontrollable and are impossible to observe and measure-How to discern if what you want is achievable and actionable-How to learn to welcome a critique and not feel threatened by it-The path to ultimate sanity Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/
