Hey Leo, I've followed your work for several years now and yes I watch every video to the end. I'd also like thank myself for making these videos--I'm doing a great job! I just went back and watched the recent video, "What is Actualized.org?" for some light content for today. A great slogan popped into mind while I was listening. So here you go: Actualized.org - the middleman between human and superhuman That'll be $19.50 ?

So, first of all, I think the obstacles only exist in your mind. But here's my attempt at an explanation--one that I came up with one morning when I was thinking about the same general idea that you're talking about. I wrote it down right away because it seemed like a fluid, coherent idea: I think what's happening in life is that 1)people are afraid of death. 2) people are afraid of death because they don't understand what death is. And because they don't get rid of this fear, it stays with them and they get used to ignoring it, but it's still there. This fear creates an energetic drive inside the person--in order to distract the person from their fear of death. And this drive is what we call "desires." Every thought and action that we engage in every day is driven by these desires. These actions and thoughts are then repeated each day, over and over and they become what you could call automatic or habitual, or addictive, or compulsory. And these thoughts and actions continue for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years until we die. And that is all life is. A metaphysical explanation: This life for you is existing right now in order for you to have the self realization that you are not a physical being. You are the consciousness that has created the reality that you see. When you have this realization then you will also realize that death is not real and therefore you overcome that fear and transcend all other fears and the mystery of life itself.... and that is the meaning of this physical life. Side note: I think a mistake is to think that we are here to achieve something grand. Or that there is anything you are here to physically DO at all in life (i.e. legacy achievements). All these complicated grand life plans are part of the material distractions away from the fear of death, which is the true driver of all human thought and action because that is what you are here to overcome, nothing more. But in the meantime, enjoy growing spiritually, watch some Leo videos, watch some Seinfeld and laugh, play some tennis and move around a bit.
