Why work on self image if self actualization leads to disbelief of self image?

[CreamCat]

Leo says self actualization leads to destruction of self and self image. I'm confused.

Because you need to work up to it. Like in Spiral Dynamics. This is probably stage orange. I don't think you get disbelif of your self image after spiritual enlightenment, but rather a new understanding that "yourself" is just an idea inside yourself. Basicly, you don't become upset at "yourself" anymore. Stage turquoise might be to hard to grasp for you at the moment. If you develop yourself up the spiral, it will start to make a lot more sense. If you haven't watched Leo's series on SD i recommend you do that.

There IS a self, it's just not who or what you think it is

@Andreas I watched and summarized that video. My center of gravity is no longer Orange although I still fully embody Orange because it suits my life situation at the moment. I'm being Orange more consciously.

The point is to work on your self-image or YOU. You and self-image are the same person. You as Creamcat, make no mistake of thinking ego and self-image is separate. That's Trap I fell into. The correct term is You. Enlightenment means There is no more You to the point of not identifying your birth name when being called while you are still alive, the voice of YOU you hear inside is shut completely, ideas, worries won't generate constantly unless you want to think but that is impossible, your body will generate a new YOU soon after.  What YOU need is to Work on YOU=selfimage=Ego, enlightenment is when you are done developing your character that YOU play with people. Work so hard and get yourself so much money probably like 6 fig or 7 salary and recognition to the point you see most money is just complete horseshit and does nothing for you but attract artificial people, frenemies, doesn't cure any of your problems, makes you tired for working for it hard, and so you want to rest and use it to donate to charity, build shelters for poor people. This stage of success you have not reached. Keeep Polishing YOU until you get what you want life to transcend it.

LEO built successful life for himself. His videos of 4 years ago was at stage where he was pursuing money now money is not issue for him. He now sees as nothing but some mean to pay rent and food and clothing and way to develop himself spirituality and develop others with him as result.

So answer is think of yourself in a costume party, its all fake but at that moment a person who wears batman outfit believes he's batman and the one who wears the joker believes he's joker and they know its fake yet they play it. You must see life as illusion just like that costume party or masquerade. You play your role. If you wear military uniform, you seriously play like military man walking and greeting certain way and screaming yes sir, or police officer uniform....

Work on yourself as if your life is short. Everything dies out yet people work so hard to keep cities functioning. Similary you, work yourself so hard so that you don't become miserable for short amount of time on life.

First Leo's videos are about how to improve in the matrix, the lastest videos are meta-content when you are in process or trascended the matrix
