013 Is There Free Will?

013 Is There Free Will?

Author: Clare Dimond May 13, 2024 Duration: 16:01

Free will, choice, decisions, doership, control - however we call it, the real question behind all these things is, does free will exist at all?

And the answer is that the "I" that I think I am, the "I" that thinks it has free will, the "I" that  thinks it should be in control, that "I" doesn't exist. I know it sounds a bit crazy, because the lived experience of being is of a separate individual, but that’s the fundamental confusion of the mind. 

So in this episode, I’m going to explore this idea of free will and the quest for control which is completely unfulfillable, and how we can approach it with more sanity and understanding. 

What is Covered:

-Why the idea of free will is the epicenter of the confusion of the mind 

-Where our behaviour really comes from

-How the belief structure that gives us an idea of what we are is formed 

-How to settle the mind into the space of inquiry and observation instead of control

-Where to find the space of actual change and genuine transformation

There's a quiet sense many of us carry, a feeling that the constant chase for better strategies in work, health, and life is missing the point. Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond speaks directly to that intuition. Hosted by Clare Dimond, this podcast moves beyond the usual self-improishment advice to explore a foundational shift in how we experience thought itself. It’s for anyone who suspects that real peace and clarity aren't another hack away, but emerge from a different understanding of our own minds. Conversations here aren't about adding more techniques to your routine; they gently point you toward the innate resilience and well-being that get obscured by stress and overthinking. Whether you're navigating business decisions, personal fitness goals, or mental quietude, this podcast offers a space to consider how a change in perspective alters everything. You'll find episodes that feel like a series of quiet revelations, stripping away complexity to reveal the simplicity of a mind operating freely, without the struggle we so often assume is mandatory. It’s an invitation to stop seeking a superpower and to start recognizing the one you’ve always had.
