Thick Face, Black Heart

[Lyubov]

I’m in the process of reading a book called “Thick Face, Black Heart.” I found it on Leo’s book list but started reading it all the way through a week ago. Honestly it’s probably a life changing book for me. I read only a handful of books a year and on average I come accross 1 book a year or so that it’s powerful and just the knowledge that I need for my next steps. Leo calls it a book for success and for cutting out people pleasing but also it’s much more than that. It actually has a powerful spiritual component to it and is steeped in Taoism. 

Thick face = able to shield yourself from caring what others think of you, including your own inner critic. 

Black heart = Able to move through the world ruthlessly without misplaced compassion or care for others.

A lot of people who are successful in this world have this, and in and of itself thick face black heart is a tool. It can be used without conscious and for total disregard for everyone but it need not be. The book teaches how to use it selflessly and for the greater good of all, which for me in life has been hard.
 

Especially for us spiritually sensitive people that come to places like actualized we are probably an odd bunch who are a little different than the masses. We can be overly sensitive and sometimes sacrifice ourselves for others in the name of spirituality and selflessness. This book corrects this and brings you back to a harmony where you know how to stand up and pursue what you want consciously.

Yes, thick black all the way. I first read this book while in university and immediately recognised it as a crucial element of my philosophy that would result in career success and beyond. I was already drawn strongly to Taoism so this material felt like the ideal link between my spiritual practice and work life. Work as spiritual unfoldment, sublime spiritual insight as an essential tool to conquer the day-to-day realities, unshakable clarity and focus to discover and achieve intended destiny 👌
