Hi everyone! Recently I got introduced to the network marketing. Quite by accident someone gave me his business card with a quote on the back "The major key to your better future is you". As I don't really have my life purpose defined yet I took those words as a good omen and I went for a meeting to see what this is all about. I got introduced to some product and to the new way of starting a business which is network marketing. In the core of that company is a motto: make your dreams come true by showing others opportunity to make theirs dreams come true. As unreal as it sounds the facts are that if you are taking it seriously you can become financially independent - it's like having your own business with assets. It's been 3 months since I meet that guy and in the meantime I was getting more sceptic about it but last week my employer who is my good friend said to me that he just got introduced to the network marketing and he sees a future in it. And that got me to rethink it again. I would love to hear from anyone who has any experience or some better knowledge about it than me and 90% of the internet. Thanks a lot for any insights

Hi everyone! I'm new here but "good friend" of Leo for almost a year now. For what I'm very very grateful:) But anyway I was just reading this topic and thought that I share my point of view on the ego. Alan Watts said something that ego is like a radar on the ship - constantly looking for a "danger". Egoistic ego danger. I believe that so called "danger" is unique for everyone of us, conditioned throughout our childhood experience growing up in particular family, place, friends, neighbourhood and so on the list is probably neverending. So it's a "program" runs by earlier defined emotions. Emotions are fuelled by thoughts. Thoughts arise constantly and the more we are identified with them the stronger the ego and the stronger is the emotion which affects our actions. Obviously thoughts arise from nothingness so it is our choice then to align with them or just observe it as a part of reality, just like sound or feeling or bird flying by. The more I read about it and put it into practice the clearer it gets. I know it's very chaotic and simplified - and it's hard to put it all in just few words - but that's how I see it at this stage of my life. Ps. It's nice to see others points of view because everyone gives different perspective and new insights and they all very interesting! Cheers and have an nice day!
