  1. Leo, I often find my self trying to make time to do some self work, and work to try and realize the true self. However I wonder if I'm wasting my time? I like to do a range of different hobbies, and love spending time with my friends and family. I've used self actualization to basically end the anxiety that I have had throughout my life, and I have greatly grown as a person. I guess my question is, what is the point in giving up this self, and sacrificing everything to reach enlightenment when this is what was meant to be in the first place? If the GREATER self has constructed this world and everything in it including what I use to believe of as the actual me, then why destroy it and become the True nature if we are all already headed that way? If everything wasn't the way it was and everyone was enlightened then nothing would exist? Why not live in the delusion and have the most fun with the ego until it inevitably goes away anyway? @Leo Gura
