One Recognition Can Put an End to All Personal Problems
What overlooked fact of life, missed by 99% of people, creates unhappiness and conflict?
A single false belief about how everything exists is responsible for every problem in our private lives and the world. Do you know which one? Every single problem and source of suffering—from emotional hunger, desire, negative emotions, disappointment, physical illness, depression, pain, jealousy, hatred, racism, greed, and inequality, to war—exists only because 99% of people don't understand how everything exists. Our misunderstanding of existence causes our experience to be opposite to what it should be. So, instead of experiencing harmony, peace, happiness, and bliss, we face endless problems and conflicts. What’s worse is that, instead of recognizing the root cause of all our problems and removing it, we cling to a false idea about existence, perpetuating our misfortunes.
However, there is good news because simple science and logic can expose our misunderstanding and reveal a clear path to unmatched peace and happiness. It is amazing that we, as modern societies, don’t invest our efforts into understanding and eliminating this single false belief that, if exposed, would end all problems and wars forever. Not only are we not actively helping each other understand the root cause of all personal and world suffering, but we seem not to care even to try. We are so accustomed to false ideas that imprison us that, when we hear the facts of how everything exists, we have difficulty accepting them and often dismiss them as impossible.
How to recognize how everything exists?
This profound understanding of how everything exists, which can effortlessly eliminate all problems and suffering—even any future potential of them—was discovered almost 2,000 years ago, yet to this day, not a single public or private school offers a course on it. Isn’t it strange? We claim to want happiness and peace, yet we don’t focus on the only permanent way that could fulfill our wishes effortlessly. True peace and happiness can exist only when we recognize that the way everything exists is contrary to how they appear to our minds.
Currently, 99% of people perceive and experience everything as possessing an individual self—as if everyone has their own essence that has always been theirs, making them what they are today, and that their essence must be different from ours. All things appear that way to us, and we accept that as natural and true. However, this type of perception is completely opposite to how all living beings actually exist. All living beings, including ourselves and objects, seem to have an individual self, but in reality, we don’t. Instead, we have a universal self that is identical to everyone else and to the universe itself.
Here’s why: Only something that is one partless, self-generated entity can claim to have its own essence (self). If something or someone is not one entity, they are instead a product of something else and its essence. If we honestly examine anything, we will discover that, contrary to our belief, nothing is a self-generated, singular entity. Therefore, no one possesses any individual essence that has always been theirs or can be different from anyone or anything else. No living organism or object can exist without parts or without being produced by something else. Yet, most believe otherwise, and thus our experience contradicts the truth. By experiencing ourselves as separate individuals, we are subjected to all the pain and suffering that comes with this ignorance. Only the removal of this ignorance can set us free from all the misfortunes of separation and free us forever.
Summary and the benefits of knowing how everything exists.
Vast Self Corp offers help to anyone or any organization seeking effortless happiness and peace. As long as we don’t recognize our false assumptions about everything and ourselves, there is no chance for happiness in our lives or the world. It is simply impossible. Just look back at the last hundred years of history for proof. Has there been peace and happiness in the world during this time? Real peace and happiness are the true nature of everything that exists, but because of our inability to see the facts of life as they are, we experience the opposite. It is our choice. We can begin to experience real peace when we start recognizing that our perception of ourselves and the world as two different selves is false. Science and logic explain the facts of how everything exists; we don’t have to force anything new onto our beliefs. We just need to recognize that our separate sense of self is robbing us of peace and happiness, creating constant misery in our lives and the lives of others. Isn’t it time we started living as we were meant to—free, peaceful, content, happy, and beyond the cause of suffering?
