Hey, this is Leo, for Actualize.org.

And in this episode, I'm going to talk about the enlightened self,

otherwise known as the true self,

to give you a really accurate description of your existential nature. This is an advanced episode that's intended to help those people who are already on the path towards Enlightenment and are doing

self-inquiry work. And I want to use the information that I want to give you here

for you to cut through all the crap when you're doing self-inquiry and get right to the

delusions of grandeur and all sorts of mystical concepts of what you actually are.

And in giving you these tips, you're going to develop a much stronger conceptual framework of how to do

Enlightenment work.

it's still very important because if you have a weak or misguided conceptual

framework when you're on this spiritual journey you're going to fail miserably and

you're going to get lost in many cul-de-sacs and traps and you're going to waste a lot

of your time and a lot of your energy and you're going to become very, very frustrated. So let's cut right to the chase.

What do you mean by existential nature, Leo?

Well, basically, I'm talking about what are you actually, existentially?

What are you? To most people, this question doesn't even become relevant

until they've gone quite far down the personal development journey, because the answer to that question is of course I'm I'm me I mean
