are most people's motivations for life purpose are coming from ego?

[Viking]

I noticed this in my past self, and it a lot of others.

people get motivated to pursue something to become someone great, to be remembered, to be rich, the best.

for example i wanted to be an inventor with a billion dollar company because then i would be great and remembered. either that or i would discover something no one else discovered in physics and become someone great like einstein. these motivations faded as i developed more self awareness, but now nothing motivates me. im like stuck in the middle where im conscious enough to not indulge in ego aggrandizement but not conscious enough to see the beauty of the world and be motivated to help others.

LEO covers this in his LPC.

 

Yes you're right about a lot of motivation can occur within EGO. But saying that is the only source is wrong. When you discover your life purpose, and more importantly who you are, the motivation and momentum occurs naturally in one's self.

Dig deeper about yourself, chip away the not authentic to you, find your core, core and True Self is in other spectrum.. i'm speaking from, i just got back from Vipassana , i have so many insights back there and i experience "Everything" i just woke up, not deep like Leo but deep enough that either i will accept all my life i will just here forever until i die and try to go deeper in here, or try enjoy Life in a meaningful way.. after all you exist and you wake up from here and have your life... path of enlightenment for us is too heavy for us to go just beeee right now, i can just like give me one year just in the vipassana meditation retreat i will become fully enlighten just give me 1 year myself is ready to surrender  but i see that i miss a lot in my life, i am wake here in earth not just only to see GOD but life here, the core in myself, I don't want to spend my life now to facebook all day,  or doing porn, i feel the sensation of porn but, what for? If i just give in it will generate sankara, and it cannot satisfy my existence here, it is not enough to spend time to enjoy your existence here as you who have life doing nothing and not meaningful things, it is better that we experience what you take in the path of enlightenment and it is important to express high self...  

 

i understand Leo why he cannot just go full buddha easy, he can but he is destructed by actualized.org... everyday if he full surrender his self he can fully liberate himself easily, but he has actualized.org this is his life, if he wants to go fully buddha he needs to be dead... so yea i want to process my enlightenment not just doing it fast, i want to enjoy other facets of life first.. i want to enjoy the life here in earth, i want to be happy and live everyday with my highest self, meaningful life.. meaningful activities... life purpose, selfactualization, i want to settle my self actualization in my life time, i want to actualized first , taste richness of life,    then maybe one day i will go to himalayas sit until i liberate fully, or wait for the time it's just hit me and boom! 

 

Because if you experience nothingness, it's nothing in there, pure, let the light from within burst..

yes. and that's why they suffer. the illusion of the ego works like a dark hole for vital energy.

you either work from your heart or be drained to death.

If it is from low conscious self.. if you express and go your highest self it will generete happiness not pleasure, ofcourse add consciousness work or meditation on the other side for you not to cling and crave for it just enjoy your stay here in earth as human being... go beyond and at the sametime express your full potential in life.. 

love "YOU"
