I realize it costs money that’s why a lot of people are opining about it. But I would suggest this for people who are opining about this matter — do the Course yourself and then come tell us about what you think about it. Opining about it without going though it is a bit silly. Seriously! You don’t know everything a priori. You need to go through the process and then come out the other end — and then you’ll know. Leo’s Life Purpose Course is like that. Life Purpose is not inconsistent with Enlightenment. Again, do the Course and find out. Stop trying to pre-judge things a priori! That’s a big trap that I see a lot of people making, and some people seem to be more prone to this trap than others are. Life Purpose is part of the big-picture view of reality that you are formulating. A big-picture view of reality is a superpower in this work.

The Life Purpose Course is legit. I did it myself.

Each Perspective has a unique thought-story or conceptual system about what Enlightenment is.

The only way for you to know is to do Leo’s Course. You won’t find out the value of it unless you do it. So, don’t limit yourself a priori. Now, if you did the Course and told me this, that would be a different thing. I would say Life Purpose work is mandatory for people serious on the Path. Why would you forego doing this work? That seems like an unwillingness to explore.

It shouldn’t be. But Enlightenment and Life Purpose are very different things. So, maybe what you need to look at is Life Purpose. What does your Will to Explore want to do? What does your Muse want to do? What is your gift that you are stumbling around to try and deliver to the world? This is why Life Purpose work is so important and very much a necessary thing to do even if you’re Enlightened. You wanna be Enlightened PLUS know your Life Purpose Fully. I recommend doing Leo’s Life Purpose Course, which is what I did. Knowing your Life Purpose is such a critical and powerful thing to have nailed-down on the Path. Then you can just flow into your Life Purpose and not have to worry so much about whether you’re doing the right thing or not. It’s a very empowering thing to know your Life Purpose.

Nice post!

It’s a container-metaphor actually. You don’t exactly have a Mind no more than you have the number 2. The Mind is a thought-story.

A lot of people are stuck in this work because they see the Mind as an adversary. But they’re getting trapped in a thought-story. The Mind is a thought-story! The Mind is a system, a model. We made up the Mind, it’s a fiction, a metaphor, a model, a system.

Mind is a model, it doesn’t actually exist.

@AleksM Glad to know you are staying in touch!

My point of view is the totality of points of view.

He was so unique.

Come back to the Forum. Where have you been? I miss your perspective. This is a good little writing on Enlightenment.

Only for people who assume Personal Development is synonymous with Enlightenment. Those people are the worst haha! Just kidding.

Be an explorer.

To the Guru every perspective is a teacher.

I hope Leo is doing well.

Sure. People who act like Gurus but who depend on you staying lower consciousness than them so they can retain their Egoic power over the group. Think of a cult leader. These people don’t really want you to grow to their Growth Level because it’s a threat to their advantage over you. A true Guru wants you to reach whatever Growth Level you decide to evolve into, even if it’s higher than theirs. The anti-guru wants you to grow — but only so much as you don’t upset their system. The anti-guru is all about themselves — the true Guru is about the entire Network of perspectives.

This was a great video when it came out for me. I was so happy on 12/4/16! At that time I was nowhere near where I am now on the Path. But it was a distinct stepping-stone for me around this time period. I think Leo’s shift precipitated a shift in me. Of course he’s way ahead of me at this juncture, so the shift was more analogical on my end — but it was a true growth point.

Haha. Egoless got wise!

Nah. He’s gonna take it to the next level. Y’all need to make sure you grow yourselves too so you keep up. Leo loves this stuff, I can tell. I personally enjoy his newer videos.

I agree. The tongue can’t taste itself. I can’t take credit for this, I think it comes from Mooji. However — can the tongue BE itself? That’s what’s interesting! From the tongue’s perspective — what’s the difference between tasting and BE-ing? Or you can even get fancier — what’s the difference between the tongue’s tasting, BE-ing, and its becomming?

This resonates with me.

Correct. Rest as Awareness is a metaphor. It’s a pointer. It’s the best pointer we have. Adya is spot on.
