Do Leo’s Life Purpose Course if you haven’t done it yet. Nows the time for you! You need more awareness into who you are, what you really have to offer, and what you really want. It’s amazing how confused we are about this.

Don’t try to read faster. Just be highly selective of the books you do read. Skim if you must. I get it, a lot of people do not know how to write-well, and our books are plagued by this. There’s a lot of fluff in our books. When you encounter fluff, just start to skim but catch all the golden-nuggets when you come upon those too. Learning how to skim is key. With many of these books you’re only gonna get two or three ideas from them — but those ideas are gonna be golden! You may see that the book would’ve been better off written as a pamphlet than a book (they had to add a lot of bullshit in there to turn it into a book.) But you do need to be reading books, lots of books. Your education depends on it. I’ve read hundreds of books myself. If you want increased and even above-average education, you gotta read lots of books — even nowadays, when there is so much info available online. Carefully research which books you will read. It’s like marriage — pay very careful attention to the selection process.

I’m taking Leo’s Life Purpose Course now. I thought I had a Life Purpose, but I made the mistake of not aligning it with career. I was all confused about career. But yes. I’ve always been living a life purpose. My life purpose has been until recently to write a book. But now I realize that that’s not quite right strategically. Life Purpose is about career and much deeper than what I thought. I lacked a lot of awareness about the theory of Life Purpose. That’s why I recommend everyone do Leo’s Life Purpose Course. What you think you know about Life Purpose is almost certainly wrong! This is one example of how theory can be massively important in Personal Development.

Maybe Sadhguru is wrong!

WOW! This is a great question. Freeing people from limiting-beliefs seems like a biggie to me.

I was using Viva Labs Krill Oil. Now I’m using Now’s Ultra Omega-3. The price-point is much better.

You’re probably not gonna be satisfied with that lifestyle forever by the way. Life Purpose is a dynamic thing. It’s almost like chasing a calling that’s a little bit smarter and craftier than you are. Most of the time you miss it by miles not inches. Then you catch up to it, and it runs off behind the weeds again to hide and plot it’s next mission. That’s the Muse and what it’s like to chase the Muse. If you settle-down, you have no chance. Then the Mind has you trapped and you’ll become fixed like a stone. That’s why you can’t be the camper you gotta be the climber in life. You gotta keep up with that Muse. And you gotta be willing to bust through the fear to follow it. The Ego will try to stop you from doing this. That’s the Big Boss in the video game right there. And who beats the Big Boss? Very few people. The most committed people. And even then, with a stroke of luck gracing them too.

Don’t look for a stock career, create a custom career.

The market is not the problem. Your strategy is the problem.

It seems like that from the Ego’s perspective. But the Ego is the true leap of faith. That’s the irony.

@Serge The Mind clings to lots of beliefs that distort reality. That’s the issue.

@AleksM This is the guru that the Beatles visited in India right? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles_(album) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharishi_Mahesh_Yogi

Law of Attraction is simple. Just think of what you want to create. That’s all Law of Attraction is. It has this big, fancy name — but it’s very simple and powerful in practice. Just think of what it is you want to create. Use the Mind in your favor.

That’s what Meditation accomplishes. I am basically always keenly-aware now. It’s like I am constantly meditating.

Get Leo’s Life Purpose Course. It’s good. I’m doing it now.

@Nahm Enlightenment without Life Purpose work is a bit too idealistic. Life Purpose grounds Enlightenment in a way. A lot of people don’t yet realize how much the Mind still has them by the balls (or ovaries) when they opine about Enlightenment. Remember — all thoughts are just labels placed upon a sea of ever-changing sensations. Even Enlightenment can become a trap if it is attached to in an unwholesome way. Truth is false. Did’ya grok that? Truth is a mere label. Reality is not concerned with labels. Life Purpose is about understanding reality through observation. So to that extent, Life Purpose is an application of awareness. It’s a trap to cling too tightly to our cultural terms. What are these labels worth really? They’re mostly distractions that lead us into mental and linguistic side-shows. Life Purpose gets at uncovering the facts of reality. Enlightenment is mostly concerned with raising-awareness regarding beliefs. Both are needed in this work though. But concepts/ words/ beliefs will never give us the kind of truth we are expecting them to. This may be the most devastating truth of all! As our categories wax and wane, reality moves forward unaware of our yammerings left in tow. We need to stop acting as if there is one right theory of reality! That is so low-consciousness. Of course there’s not one right (highly culturally idiosyncratic) theory of reality. But we wanna be Scientists, right? Watch out! This is one area where Scientists can learn from the Philosophers. Philosophy is 100 years ahead of Science in certain quarters of intellectual discourse today —and it’s been that way for the past 60-70 years now. Two words — Ludwig Wittgenstein. That dude turned culture on its ear in the early 1950’s.

Gotcha. No problem.

Stop clinging to the limiting-belief that you are stuck. That is false. You are always response-able. You always have a way to move your piece forward. Nothing is holding you back but your belief that you can't act until you solve some non-existent problem. Do you see this? All blocks are illusory. What makes them real is only your believing that they're real. This is a nasty trap that the Mind pulls. You gotta be able to see through this deeply -- both theoretically and in the moment when the issue pops up. When you develop this kind of awareness, you'll see that all blocks and resistance are illusions of the Mind.

You could teach them a lot of Life Purpose principles. Get them oriented to find their authentic-self and get their majors aligned with their Life Purpose and chosen career field. You should do Leo's Life Purpose Course yourself just for the hell of it. It's only $250. You'll love it and it will make you a much better educator. You're gonna learn a lot about yourself that you still don't even know yet. I'm going through the course myself now.

When is the re-programming course gonna get rolled-out?

I need to take a deep dive into Shakespeare myself. That's on my list of things to do in life. I want to visit England and walk the grounds that he walked and breathe the air that he breathed first though. I want to imagine what life was like at the time he was alive and what his life must have been like, and what his performances would have looked like. I would probably even bring some of his writings with me to England and read them there. That's how I do this kind of work. I did this with Confucius -- I read him when I stayed in Taipei, Taiwan for 2 weeks, and it was amazing. I would walk through ancient temples with the book in my pocket. I would go sit in a pagoda and read for a while and drink tea, etc. Taiwan is more ancient than China because it never went through Mao's Cultural Revolution. I read Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle when I stayed in Athens, Greece for 2 weeks. That was incredible. I went to the location of Plato's Academy and saw the ruins of Aristotle's Lyceum. I walked the Ancient Agora where Socrates , Plato, Aristotle, etc. used to hang out. I saw the Parthenon, etc. That was the best 2 weeks of my life so far.

The Now doesn't tell you jack about your authentic-self. That's the paradox. You can be deeply enlightened and still be clueless about your authentic-self. Life-Purpose and Enlightenment are 2 very different sides of the same coin. They're two different perspectives on the same reality.

@Leo Gura Business is tricky. That's why I'm gonna start boning more up on business and marketing concepts myself. One aspect is burnout. Simple burnout. That's a trap in business. You just get tired of doing the same old shit, even if it was something you were once passionate about. So, your business needs to evolve with you to keep it interesting. That's an issue. Also, when you turn your hobby into your work you can also start to hate that hobby. I found that out when I tried to make money playing jazz gigs. I found that I loved making music on my terms but hated doing it for money where I felt forced. One thing I found good to commit to is to being a millionaire because even if you fail, at least you're gonna be focused enough on money that you're not gonna suck at bringing it in. As soon as you take your eye off the ball of making money, your business starts a slow-death. There's just too much competition out there to be passive in business. I like to say it like this -- If you shoot for an A, you'll probably get a C. If you shoot for a C, you'll get an F. That's how business works. You need that killer-instinct to be great in business. You gotta rip the shit out of your comfort-zone. Bust through those fears and limiting-beliefs. This is the most advanced Life Purpose work. I love this video. I've made it one of my goals to become a millionaire.

From the Ego’s perspective, Enlightenment looks like an evil ideology masquerading as a religion; like a bunch of scoundrel, wacky, miserable, dim-witted, drug-addicted, misguided, oddball, immature, trouble-making, hippie bums, who are under the unfortunate spell of an unconscious death-wish, hiding behind the pretense of a noble mystical cult — all in the misguided, compensatory attempt to feel less inferior and insecure about their childish, impish, foolish, self-destructive, idiotic, latently suicidal, worthless lives.
