A deep insight from Ram Dass:

Think about this one real deep:
"If everyone gets caught in your game, you lose."
Notice how scientists' and physicists' brains break when they encounter Infinity. But they don't understand why. They think encountering Infinity is a mistake. Not at all.
From a scientist's narrow, myopic point of view, Infinity seems like hell breaking loose. Well, that's right! Infinity is so free that it even contains Hell, demons, goblins, unicorns, cosmic horrors, and much more terrifying stuff. What physicists hide from laymen is that they are always wrestling with Infinity, but they don't understand that they are wrestling with God. The evidence of God is found across all of physics in the form of intractable infinities.
Consciousness/God is an infinite field of infinite singularities. This is more beautiful, profound, and true than anything any physicist has ever said. But nobody wants to listen, so I'm just talking to myself.
One of the most seductive self-deceptions is thinking you are better than you are, gooder than you are. You are not nearly as good as you think you are. That’s very painful to realize. Which is why most people aren't Good. Evil is when you think are Good without having done the work to become Good. All the most evil people think they are Good, and they are incapable of seeing otherwise. Being evil is a kind of hypnotic spell that one gets lost in, in which you think you are Good when you aren’t. Evil is a kind of delusional self-absorption. All evil people are delusional. Their view of themselves is not accurate, not objective, not truthful. Evil is a disconnection from truth. And in general, people are not even close to understanding how much work is required to become truly Good.
Being the good guy is usually a self-deception.
"I am the good guy."
That's where your skepticism should go.
The mind fools itself that it is the good guy when it is just being selfish. This is an amazingly powerful self-deception that most people never see through.
