Question for Leo

[Ook]

Hi!

Just wanted to ask: Does life get any easier after success in self-actualization/fulfillment of life purpose? You once said that no matter how you slice it, life is hard. Is it still hard for you or it's a lot easier than it used to be? How do you deal with hard times of life? 

 

[Leo Gura]

I wouldn't hope on life getting easier. If you are growing properly, life will always present you with greater and greater challenges.

Life becomes less dysfunctional though, and less about raw survival and the associated negative emotions.

If you become financially independent and secure thanks to your LP, that does take a huge survival load off your shoulders. But life can still be hard. 2020 was one of the hardest years of my life thanks to unforeseen health problems. No amount of success or money or even spiritual work will save you when you have the right kind of health problem.

Generally speaking though, life is a hamster running endlessly in a wheel until it dies of exhaustion. You are the hamster, and no matter how much success you achieve you ultimately get nowhere. Because there's nowhere else to be. This is one of the biggest things spirituality teaches you. Be. Here. Now. This. Is. It.

If you can't be happy now, you never will be.

If you learn to be HERE and NOW, does it mean you've aced life? 

I've been feeling pretty depressed and unmotivated, thinking no matter what i do, life is gonna be hard and painful. Maybe i shouldn't be focusing on that aspect of life?

In a sense, yes.

Although to truly ace life you need to become enlightened.

Don't get me wrong, your life can become a lot better if you are stuck in depression. You don't have to keep being depressed forever.

Many severe negative emotional states you can learn to outgrow and just drop. In this way your life will feel much better.

@Leo Gura What should be the ultimate thing that motivates you and keeps you going in life, in your opinion?

[Leo Gura]

@Ook Truth, but that's just me.

@Leo Gura I'm so sorry to hear it. Do you know about German New Medicine? I do not believe or disbelieve it, but I got rid of a chronicle problem of mine after knowing about it, and work on it with this knowledge. I don't know if was a coincidence it stopped by that time or not, but you can check it out if you want. https://learninggnm.com/home.html New agey, woo-woo stuff tho. 
I wish you the absolute best Leo.

Why is this in your opinion?

I understand it might be for you, but why is this an advice you give to everybody?

Also, im assuming you mean that you become enlightened without psychedelics.

@Leo Gura

Credit means you owe him something.

Do you want to keep using a credit card forever?

Do you want to keep being in debt forever?

Then you will never become enlightened.

Sorry.

.

Oh and by the way:

Fuck Peter Ralston.

Seriously.

Fuck him.

Another false enlightened person trying to teach people bullshit?

Stop directing people to these idiots.

And start directing them in the right place.

It is not me.

It's up to you.

To figure out:

Where that is.

Get me out of here.

If you want to...

Solve this problem.

Either

1) Kick me out of this forum.

Like.

Give me a huge kick in the ass

Or:

2) Solve this problem.

3) Skype me.

4) ?????????????
