How to Fall in Love with Reality or Life

The Burden of Personal Development
- People on the spiritual path often lose their zest for life.
- Personal development can put pressure on individuals to act in a certain way, which can rob them of the naive ignorance and almost zest for life that comes from living mindlessly.

- Everything is consciousness - from the screws and gears in mechanical inventions to the computer being programmed or the advertisement being made.

Why Live Consciously?
