What's the worst enemy for the self actualized life?

[Leo-Tzu]

I would say negative thinking but that's a madeup concept so maybe it's addictions

[Ingit]

our own mind I would say

[Athena]

Fear

[BjarkeT]

Procrastination & lack of responsibility 

edit: also victim thinking. Thinking you are a victim.

An enemy requires separation. There is no separation in a self-actualized life. All is within the whole.

surrendering with codepending. counterreacting with complete surrender to the wrong. surrendering with blind counterreaction. codepending without counterreacting to the wrong. not questioning the right. not shifting perspectives. not  accepting codependency as an interdependency of body mind soul vs or with the world.

not accepting, that this is a lifetime job you will be never done with.

Overmasturbation and  porn addiction mess up the brain.

Neurotransmitters lose balance. Decision making, ambition, impulse control and others are affected negatively.

For me, it has been emotional pain.

Accepting everything without questioning it -> TV, fake news, manipulated history, etc.

It's funny (and fun) to see all the different perspectives in here based on people's individual experiences of life

 

Personally I'd have to vote for distraction. I know that's kind of vague so I'll try to give examples: all the hours spent at a bullshit job, on social media, on my phone in general, listening to less-than-productive podcasts and audiobooks just to fill the negative space. Giving up all of these would net me about 10hrs of free time a day....and likely a place to live I guess because I'd be broke lol

From experience, laziness, myopia, and neuroticism have been recurring roadblocks.

@Joseph Maynor you think that the actualizing agenda has anything to do with the enlightenment one?

Enemies are just teachers that we're not willing to listen to.
The more they hurt us, the more valuable their lessons are.
