I have an idea to become enlightened and to be productive, not sure if it works

@hyruga Read Sun Tzu Art of War don't share your plans with toxic people, in this case, my family.

@QandC Well, its an invention I made because it's so hard the ego always comes back and tells you: "let's pick up girls"," lets party", "let's masturbate five times", "Let's not study tonight", etc. He is so damn strong and there are radical implications for it like reshaping your subconscious towards enlightenment.

[QandC]

@Marks199 Why wouldn't you be able to do that and still become enlightened? Just do it consciously with awareness. You're creating a sort of substance dualism with that attitude. I'd say go all out and do those things until you're sick of it, then you'll start seeing some real awareness coming in. 

Also, yes you are right. Your 'ego' does try to distract you doing those things, but your 'ego' also is the one telling you to write the affirmations, to do the enlightenment work. Of COURSE you have to do that work. But become aware of what is truly going on here, go meta
