Enlightenment is the realization of your actual physical nature. Most people know who they are but they are wrong. If you unwire the belief of who you are you are enlightened. The process of becoming enlightened is really difficult and long (years). What are the benefits? -          A massive reduction of your levels of suffering: Macro (catastrophes in your life) and micro (stupid and common stuff like the weather, your girlfriend pissing you off, etc). SUFFERING IS NOT A PART OF LIFE, IS PART OF THE ILLUSION.   -          Freedom from things like fear, worry and anxiety: Think about how much energy you spend in any of these states.   -          Freedom from the fear of death: EVERYONE FEARS DEATH and many of the things you do today is caused by your fear of dying. Death, after enlightenment, is another stupid belief.   -          Permanent end to overthinking: Think about how much time you waste thinking about stupid stuff. After enlightenment, you only think when it is necessary; you will be able to enjoy the present moment fully.   -          Immunity to heavy emotions: You will still feel emotions but not in a deep and incredibly painful way.   -          The end of addictive and compulsive behavior: No more hard nor emotional behaviors (self-sabotages, relationship issues).   -          Stop worrying about what people think of you: No more concerns about how you look o how you act.   -          Permanent end to the striving on life: Most of your drives are neurotic. Worrying about having more love, more money, power, status, etc. No more time spending how to acquire external stuff.   -          Eliminate loneliness and neediness: These are complete illusions of your mind.   -          Eliminate neurosis (emotional psychic patterns)   -          Eliminate much stress from your life: How much time you are stressed by your family, health, wealth, etc? That will be no more. Imagine doing all the things you do but without stress and without any concern.   -          Less need for sleep and much more physical energy: You don’t imagine how much energy our thought process consumes. Your body is actually burning calories to feed these processes. All your energy after enlightenment will be directed to enjoying life or pursuing your actual passions.   -          It is the foundation of self-actualization work: You didn’t even begin to tap into self-actualization until you ask yourself who you are. Until you discover who you really are your ability to do personal development is very very limited. Most of your progress is really shallow and superfluous. You cannot comprehend most of the advanced self-development until you have some enlightenment experiences. Enlightenment is really the beginning of the whole journey that you stay till the rest of your life.   -          It opens you up to change your life in whatever way you want and imagine: You can change your personality in whatever way you want. You can do whatever you want with your career, your relationships. IT FREES YOU UP IN ALL THE AREAS OF YOUR LIFE SINCE THE ONLY THING THAT WAS IN YOUR WAY WAS YOUR IDENTITY. Your biggest obstacle is your identity and what you accomplish will be determined by who you think you are.   -          Have a way to deal with chronic pain   -          It gives you a way to deal with disasters: Love ones dying, a big problem to your health or business. With enlightenment you know how to deal with them and stay unaffected.   -          It puts you in touch with your body: You will enjoy your physical vitality.   -          Longer life and better health: Your mental environment will be much healthier.   -          It enables deep self-acceptance and self-love that wouldn’t be possible unless you unwire your ego. You will experience unconditional self-love. Imagine how powerful your life can be if you live from a position of deep self-love and self-acceptance.   -          Enables true love: What you think is love is not love at all. You are not capable of true love as long as you believe you are a separate individual living in a body. If you can become enlightened you can love all reality unconditionally. YOU LOVE ALL REALITY.   -          It enable powerful and authentic relationships: You now think you have authentic relationships with people and the answer is no. You don’t have a clue about what an authentic relationship is (friendships, love relationships, family, children, customers, bosses, etc). If you want to take your relationships to a whole new level of depth and beauty and health become enlightened. You need to realize who you are and then realize who the other person is existentially, then you can have an authentic relationship that is not based on neediness, manipulation or self-agenda.   -          You become immune to existential crisis   -          You will get the deepest knowledge and truth about reality and existence. Truth is not accessible through knowledge, it is accessible by experience.   -          Death without regrets: Become enlightened and you will die without any regrets.   -          YOU ARE BEING, NOT DOING.   -          It gets you a healthier attitude towards the world, society and humanity: No more dysfunctional relationship with the world and people. You can change the world by being enlightened.   -          Much more honest and ethical, and this will help to improve the world   -          It greatly improves the world: You want to change the world for the better? Get enlightened, it is the best gift you can give to the world.   -          Life can become satisfying again, like it was when you were a child.   -          A feeling of being in the zone all the time, without any concerns and when you flow with life effortlessly. THE ABILITY TO BE SO PRESENT THAT YOU ARE IN THE ZONE 24/7 AND IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE HAPPY AND WITH PEACE OF MIND. There is a cost to all these benefits: The greatest cost, you and your entire way of life. You need to give up your identity, your ego, yourself. You have to give up even the parts you love of yourself. YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP THE IDEA THAT YOU ARE A PHYSICAL HUMAN BODY. Enlightenment will give you all these benefits but it will destroy your identity, it will reveal that life is meaningless, that everything you think about how the world works is false, that there is no such thing as good or bad, that every judgement is a lie, that there is no value in anything, that there is no one who benefits from self-improvement work and there is no one that is gonna be improved; you don’t have control over life because there is no you to have control, it is an absolute surrender. There are really no benefits of enlightenment and there is no you who is gonna be benefited by enlightenment. YOU NEED TO GET PASSED THE POINT OF NO RETURN. Your life will be extraordinary after enlightenment but it will not be yours anymore; but this is not gonna be a problem since the ego will not exist. The paradox of enlightenment is that even though it has some negative aspects (life is meaningless, there is no one to be benefited, etc), it is the most meaningful pursuit ever; YOUR LIFE ONLY REALLY BEGINS AFTER YOU GIVE UP YOURSELF, LIFE BEGINS AFTER ENLIGHTENMENT. You are now living in a hollow dream, a portion of life and you don’t even comprehend what true life entails. Not a single enlightened person regretted it. Imagine that you are actually living in hell and that by waking up you will be into heaven; with enlightenment you will be in heaven and you will never want to come back. The problem here is that the ego made hell its home and it thinks that there is nothing beyond it, and this is a tragedy. YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND ALL OF THIS; if there is wisdom in you you will realize that you should be pursuing enlightenment. Leo gave you the ultimate strategic intent, ENLIGHTENMENT IS THE ULTIMATE STRATEGIC INTENT AND IT IS ALL YOUR LIFE SHOULD BE ABOUT. The quality of your life will not get better with more success.
