"It's a lot of work to stay alive."

The trap of human life boils down to this:
In life there are things which feel good but are very bad for you. And there are things which feel bad but are very good for you.
The trick to a great life is to always be keenly aware of this trap and to proactively and counter-intuitively act against it.
Wisdom is doing that which feels bad but is very good for you. Foolishness is doing that which feels good but is very bad for you.
Contemplate how many times you've fallen into this trap.
The good life is so counter-intuitive it's hiding from you in plain sight. Having the good life is not just a matter of working hard or achieving more, it's about seeing reality in a different way. It's fundamentally a problem of perception. Which is why the wise highly value right perception and fools do not.
It's hard for the non-wealthy to fathom how it could be that the ultra-wealthy are just as miserable, if not even more miserable, than average people.
That's because true happiness in life comes from love and selfless. The reason life purpose makes you happy is because it's supposed to an act of love and selfless. To have a life purpose is to devote your life in the service of others, showering the world with your love. If you don't have that, no amount of money will fulfill you.
So what's really being missed is a spiritual connection to life. Spirituality is just the cultivation of your love and selflessness.
And this is the fundamental problem with capitalism. Capitalism creates a relentless pressure to chase after more wealth and material success at the cost of spiritual connection. Most material resources are funneled to the top 10% or 1%, while everyone else is left in wage slavery. In such a system the ultra-wealthy are too busy hoarding resources to develop a spiritual connection while the non-wealthy are too busy working for crumbs to develop a spiritual connection. And so neither the top nor the bottom of society has any spiritual depth, with both ending up miserable. It's a lose-lose dynamic.
People keep wanting a proof for God. But what never occurs to them is that God is so selflessly doing the human you that God becomes invisible.
God is invisible BECAUSE it is absolutely selfless!
Since God is ONE, it's selflessness and your selfishness precisely occupy the same space. You can't see God because your finite self lies perfectly in its place. Or, in other words, God is BEING you so profoundly that all you see is your human self instead of God.
God's absolute selflessness is what allows you to be so selfish. You don't see God because God is fully giving you what you want: to be your finite self. Which leaves no more room to see God. To see God you'd have to give up yourself. But you want to keep yourself and still see God. Well, that's impossible because God is absolute selflessness!
If you want proof of God become selfless and you will realize that God is you. You are God's existence proof! — but only if you manage to recognize yourself as God. It's not a matter of proof, it's a matter of recognition.
The reason you cannot prove God is because you assume God is other to you, and you're too selfish to surrender yourself to discover that God isn't other, it's YOU!
It's like you're trying to yank up a rug without recognizing that the reason it won't budge is because you're standing on it. "But Leo! The rug really won't budge!"
Of course! Get out the fucking way first!
"I am human" << this one idea is what prevents you from proving God. So long as you keep imagining and insisting that you are human you are doomed to be disconnected from God — your True Self. Your whole life you have been denying yourself, and you dare to call this humility. No! This fake humility is the height of egotism.
This gives you a sense of what Infinity is like:
Reality has no beginning or end. Consciousness is circular and infinite in all directions, all dimensions.
100 years from now the Coca-Cola Company will be seen as a crime against humanity. The Coca-Cola Company should not be thought of as a food manufacturer but rather a company whose business is to brainwash innocent and ignorant people into consuming poison. The Coca-Cola Company's business is to be a mind-parasite. They invest hundreds of millions of dollars every year to brainwash young people into liking their poison.
This is how The Social Matrix is used by companies to make huge profits.
You should start to regard all soda as poison for your body.
The fastest way to lose weight is to replace all sugary drinks with ice tea or water.
This video will blow your mind.
It is enough to study the human body in detail to realize that Infinite Intelligence exists. Your body is not some fucking accident, it is a design of a genius consciousness that should boggle your finite mind.
You should also contemplate how poorly you treat such a beautiful piece of high performance engineering with the kind of junk you fuel it with.
Notice how much intelligence went into creating your body, and how little intelligence you put into maintaining it.
What if you started treating your body as if you were conscious that God gave you one of the most intelligently designed vehicles in the Universe? What if you became conscious enough to realize that your body is God!
Stop looking for God in the clouds. Your body is literally God! God didn't just create your body, God is your body! God creates your body by being it, by actively holding it within consciousness — NOW! NOW! NOW! The body is not a static physical object. The body doesn't create consciousness. Consciousness actively imagines the body. The flow of every particle of blood, the division of every cell, the regulation of every organ — this is happening in real-time within Your/God's consciousness using Infinite Universal Intelligence. That's what a body is.
Imagine that God knocked on your front door and asked to have dinner with you. What would you serve God for dinner? A plate full of toxic junk?
Remember that next time you get the urge to gobble down a Big Mac.
