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?

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!

Hell yeah! That’s an insight my friend! What is the takeaway? Give me a short paragraph.

Start to get into Personal Development at the newbie stage. Realize this is a long term project, not a quick fix. Start to explore work in Enlightenment.

Good. Do this for me. For each one of those goals — give me a couple of sentences saying what you plan to do to achieve each of them. So — What is the price you will pay to achieve each one of those goals?

This is deep. Thanks. It really gets at the way the Mind individuates reality and then turns a heterogyny into a monolith. We need to see how language does this on the larger scale Leo. The way that the Mind and language work together to order reality is what people need to be able to see with the highest degree of awareness. This awareness in me is one of my greatest strengths in this work at this point. But it requires some theory, some explanation to bring about this kind of awareness. That’s because people aren’t exposed to these ideas unless they happened upon them in Philosophy studies or somehow otherwise.

You’re gonna have a few big surprises yet if you stay on this path. That Rationalist Paradigm you hold is a piece of culture that the Mind is laying on top of Being. Welcome to the journey. It’s a disjointed affair.

What do you consider to be a fact? Give me a short paragraph please.
