042 You Create Your Own Reality. Why That is a Problematic Phrase

042 You Create Your Own Reality. Why That is a Problematic Phrase

Author: Clare Dimond December 9, 2024 Duration: 15:30

Today we're looking at the phrase you hear a lot in spiritual circles -  You create your own reality

This is a really interesting one, because it all depends on what that “you” is. How we understand that “you” will determine whether this phrase sends us into complete confusion, more frustration, more insanity, more stress, or whether it's a portal to sanity and to a deep understanding of what is going on within the mind.  

In this episode we are going to explore the two you’s that this phrase could be referring to, and why I’ve decided that I wouldn’t ever say it to someone. 

What is Covered: 

-Why believing that that we create our own reality can send us into more self-blame and shame

-The false belief that we can somehow change our inner state so that our reality changes

-What is that you? What is reality? What is the relationship between the two?

-Why the phrase “you don’t exist” or “nothing really exists” sounds false

-The shift from an identified mind to an inquiring mind

-Why we need to constantly explore what the “you” really is

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.
