If your Life Purpose is aligned with your deepest passion — you should have no problem mustering the work ethic of Arnold. Have you tried? If not, why are you assuming there is a problem when you don’t even have cause to believe there is one? The Mind is looking to forge some limiting-beliefs to justify you being blocked to take action. Can you see that? The Ego does not want to deal with your Life Purpose head on — it would rather dodge it, or find some excuse to block it. That’s what you’ve been doing up until now, is it not? See? -
I think it’s more like people are soft because society is carrying them — so they aren’t really quite earning their own way. This makes these people both soft and a leech off of whatever value they can get. But the value these manchildren actually provide is pitiful. If you were forced to provide for your own survival — the manchild would burn out of you very quickly.

Yes. This week I will be completing Part 3, the final part, of the Course myself. I highly recommend it.

Keep doing the personal development stuff no matter what. As you do that, eventually you will make the right decision.
-
This happened to me too. I think it’s a combination of a lot of things — including lots of change from your routine.
-
Get and do Leo’s Life Purpose Course. That’s how I did it.

So, it’s fair to assume that these cultural things (objects) could have been otherwise to achieve the same functional result — which is the raising of awareness for the human Mind. Given this cultural component to the discourse about and the teaching of Enligtenment — what are the ramifications of this insight in terms of the takeaway of this realization?
-
How do you handle that pragmatically? Now that we’re all closing-out the Christmas Holiday — I’m hoping someone has a great insight here. We’ve all been either dealing with family or thinking of family for the past couple of weeks. Can someone impress us with a wise insight?

Damn good insight! You keep that one handy as you move forward in this work! One of the biggest ways (among many other ways) that the Lower-Mind sabotages the aims of the Higher-Mind is it convinces you that: You need something else before you can or should take action. [TRAP] This leads to work prioritization problems, procrastination, and a feeling of being stuck. Basically what’s happening here is you’re clinging to a limiting-belief that’s now sabotaging you. But the Mind will tell you that that’s being reasonable and prudent. Do not believe the rationalizations the Mind spits at you! Examine them all. See the motive of the Ego in those stories if you can. If you can do this as part of your Mindfulness as you’re passing through your day, your awareness will get bumped-up substantially. So the Enlightened person is aware of how the Mind sabotages in this manner and can avoid it through noticing it when it is happening in the moment.

The more enlightened person is simply aware of more traps than the less enlightened person is — which are not just theoretically known, but put to work in practice.

Marketing is like money — it’s not bad in and of itself. We should remember that. That’s a deep truth.

This is exactly why I recommend that people do Leo’s Life Purpose Course — I’m not just wasting my words when I recommend that. Life Purpose work is the solution to this kind of problem.

You need to take that practice of Mindfulness and develop it deeper. Start to do newbie personal development work and start to look into the Enlightenment materials. This journey is a marathon, not a sprint. The amount of work you still need to do is huge. But congrats on realizing the importance of Mindfulness — it’s the foundation technique for raising-awareness. Your practice of Mindfulness will get better and better as you continue to walk this path. -
Neither is more important than the other. Loosely-speaking, however, the vision or goal should proceed the action, but not always. Don’t turn this into a limiting-belief.

Do you realize yet that you are playing word games that are totally keeping you stuck in the map — when what you need to fully appreciate is the territory? What can you tell me about nothingness? Not the word, but what the word is pointing to? -
The key to strength is to discover your deepest passion — because then you have all this inner-drive already to do it. Do Leo’s Life Purpose Course to find that for yourself.
-
My greatest gifts are my insights regarding self-acceptance and acceptance of reality.

He might be right. He might be wrong. The question is — what do YOU think? What is YOUR assessment, takeaway, conclusion, bit of wisdom, on this issue?

I think you should do Leo’s Life Purpose Course and then compare the results you get with that with the ideas you have for business now. -
What basis do you have to believe that the reality you see is different from the reality that others see?
-
Joseph Maynor replied to Samuel Garcia's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
You should do Leo’s Life Purpose Course if you haven’t done that yet. That’s my recommendation. -
All you’re looking to do here is to create a limiting belief, which is a distraction. Give me a paragraph of the kind of art that you want to create and why you want to create it.
-
The day I realized that everything is nothing and nothing is everything was a great day for me. And keep in mind that this is not about language or the meanings of these silly words. It’s what these silly words are pointing to — that’s what I’m talking about. People get so attached to words, which is a trap.

All beliefs, thoughts, and language are of the Mind. Do you see that reality is of a piece — and then the Mind individuates, turns heterogynies into monoliths, and conspires with language to create architecture where there is none — secure-footing when all there is is the Now? When the Mind is turned off — you can identify the Now. It is peaceful, it never changes, and you can always bounce back and forth from being the Watcher to surrendering to various degrees of lower-consciousness. Bring this insight into keen-awareness so you can adjust consciousness like a dial depending on the circumstances of the Now. -
You have to realize that the past does not exist. You also have to realize that you didn’t exist in the past. You also have to realize that you don’t exist. What is this ‘you’? This word, this attempt to turn a hererogyny into a monolith — this linguistic slight of hand? — this you!
