About Us

Vast Self is a nonprofit organization focused on addressing the root cause of human suffering and global conflict: the belief in separation.

Most attempts to create peace focus on fixing external problems. Our work begins at a deeper level—by examining the assumption that we are separate individuals living in a divided world. When this assumption goes unquestioned, fear, conflict, and harm naturally follow. Through direct observation, it becomes clear that separation is not an objective fact of reality, but a mental construction. Life is not divided into independent selves and opposing sides—it is a single, interconnected process.

This understanding is not a belief or philosophy.
It is something anyone can verify through honest looking.

Our Approach

Our work is grounded in nondual understanding, particularly the insight articulated by the Buddhist scientist Nāgārjuna, whose investigation into the nature of self and phenomena revealed that nothing exists independently, separately, or from itself.

We translate this insight into simple, practical tools that help people directly observe reality as it is—before labels, identities, and conditioning distort perception.

Rather than asking people to adopt new beliefs, we invite them to look honestly at their own experience.

When people see that:

• there is no solid “self” to defend,

• no truly separate “other” to fear,

• and no independent side to fight,

peace is no longer an ideal—it becomes the natural state.

Why This Matters

Conflict does not begin with weapons.
It begins with a mistaken perception.

When people believe they are separate, harm seems justified.
When separation is seen to be illusory, harm is no longer an option.

True peace does not need to be created.
It only needs to be uncovered.

Our mission is simple and urgent:
to make the truth of non-separation clear, accessible, and lived—because a world that sees itself clearly cannot continue to harm itself.

Our Vision

We envision a world where:

• identity no longer divides,

• compassion is not a moral demand but a natural response,

• and peace is recognized as our shared, underlying reality.

Not someday.
Not after agreement.
But now—through clear seeing.
