The 7 Wonders of the World Have Nothing on This.

People don't exist the way our senses tell us they do. Simple science and logic can reveal the truth and set us free.

It’s astonishing that humans built the Pyramids in Giza, vetured to the Moon yet most people have never heard how our senses distort our perceptions and experiences, making us see ourselves and others as different and separate—contrary to how we truly exist. The fact that fundamental truths about existence are overshadowed by baseless ideas about ourselves and others is the greatest mystery of all. Unawareness of these truths results in a life filled with dissatisfaction and sorrow, with no understanding of how to end this cycle.

Our common experience of ourselves and others as distinct, separate selves is like an illusion. For example, if you perceive and experience an Israeli person as a separate self different from yours, remember this is only an illusion. The reality of how everyone exists irrefutably proves that we are all identically selfless, and this perception of separation is entirely false. The same applies if you perceive and experience a Palestinian person as separate from yourself; this too is just an illusion and thus 100% opposite to facts of reality.

How Do People Exist Versus How They Appear to Exist?

Regardless of superficial differences like height or skin tone, everyone has a valid sense of self. Yet, we mistakenly believe that we possess a unique, independent self that makes us distinct from others who also seem to have unique selves. We think we have always been this self, this Israeli or Palestinian, full of our own Israeli or Palestinian essence. But is this belief fact or fiction? When did you last check for yourself? We experience the self as a singular entity, assuming that we have always existed due to our own nature. Most people accept this idea, but this is where the problem lies, as the facts of existence don’t lie and offer us previously unimaginable benefits.

What Honest Observation Reveals About the True Nature of All Israelis and Palestinians.

Let’s establish a logical base for our inquiry: if we believe and experience something about ourselves and others, this belief must be found in reality, apart from our mind’s ideas. Otherwise, it is merely a wrong belief and not a fact.

Here is our basis: If every human were independent and distinct self, if we were truly Israelis or Palestinians, we would need to have individual Israeli or Palestinian natures capable of generating us as singular, fully independent entities full of our own Israeli or Palestinian essence.

On the other hand, if were generated by the same external nature, and the same interchangeable parts, we would be identical without a trace of different nature of individual essence. Therefore, our inquiry is to determine whether we possess an Israeli or Palestinian self or if we are inherently identical in essence and therefore selfless. If we were individual selves, we should be able to establish whether we exist as the mind, the body, a combination of both, or something separate from either. The closer we look at ourselves and others, setting aside our preconceived ideas, the clearer this should become.

So, let’s take a closer and honest look and examine ourselves.

Are We Truly Singular Entities? 

Our bodies and minds are not single standalone entity, they are composed of an infinite number of ever-smaller physical parts, where none can be truly one thing. Our minds are not one fixed and unchanging entities, but rather like a perpetually unfolding stream of consciousness moving from one moment to the next. Each moment of perception, feeling, and thought is a product of an infinite number of ever-shorter moments, forming a continuous flow of consciousness. No moment of the mind is one moment or can remain unchanged forever, and no physical body or any part of it is one entity or can remain unchanged forever. So, despite what we believe and experience, people who call themselves “Israelis” and “Palestinians” are not one entity. If we are not singular entities, it is illogical to treat each other as such. What is not a singular entity implies being a product of external factors, not its own independent essence. Which brings us to the second point.

Do We Have Independent Nature that Generates Us?

Obviously not, If we did, our bodies and minds would be comprised of permanent us and not a mix of countless dancing atoms of carbon, nitrogen, calcium, oxygen, phosphorus, hydrogen, adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, etc. And our minds would be made of permanent us and not perpetual fleeting moments of perception, feeling, thoughts, etc. There is no separate you, Israeli, or Palestinian entity apart from the body and mind. If there were, the body and mind would belong to someone else’s experience. No one can claim to experience themselves apart from the body and mind or to have assembled the countless atoms and moments of the conscious mind themselves. That claim would be absurd. The truth is, our bodies and minds arise from the universal nature and its countless physical and nonphysical elements. No one possesses an individual Israeli or Palestinian nature capable of generating an independent existence full of unique Israeli and Palestinian essence.

Therefore, there is absolutely no difference between anybody or anything. There is no difference between anyone and the universal nature that produced us and lives through us. We are all continuations of the same universal nature. Today, our mind calls these elements "my body," "Israeli," or "Palestinian," but they are the same elements that produced the first cells nearly 4 billion years ago. They have been the DNA and bodies of countless other plants, animals, and people since then, long before they were called "me," "them," "Israeli," or "Palestinian. This brings us to the final 3rd point, the role of our mind's labels and belief in them.

What Role Do Our Mind's Labels Play in Creating this Illusion of Separation?

Labels are mental constructs; they exist only in the mind and are not part of the physical form. Yet, most people misunderstand this.. As we recognized earlier, the body parts and mind or any part of them is not one, unchanging entity, Israeli or Palestinian, not even after our mind invents and believes in the labels like "Israeli," or "Palestinian,” These concepts exist only in our minds and nowhere else. The physical bodies are real and selfless, but they are not Israelis or Palestinians, even if we label them and believe it is so. But unfortunately, we believe in our labels and automatically treat all bodies as if they were Israelis or Palestinians solely because we label them as such—not because they truly are. This ignorance is the root cause of our insecurities, fear, greed, hatred, suffering and endless dissatisfaction that follows us like a shadow. We fabricate these divisions in our minds only, and they lead to endless problems and suffering. The only differences between people exist in the concepts and labels created by the mind—nothing more. All conflict and war between those who think they are Israeli or Palestinian is, in truth, a conflict against oneself.

A Universal Solution to Conflict.

The closer we observe ourselves or others, the more this independent self we believe in cannot be found. This isn’t just true for ourselves but for all phenomena, revealing something far more profound than our imagination could ever invent. Instead, we find that everyone is identical to us, selfless because everyone is a product of the same universal nature and its countless physical and nonphysical elements. Consequently, everyone is full of the same universal essence and not any individual or different from anybody. Thus everyone is identical to each other and the universal nature that produced us. Understanding this makes ending conflict and war a priority, as all wars are ultimately fought against ourselves. The appearance of others is like an illusion—because, in reality, there are no others, only ourselves labeled as “others,” “Israeli,” or “Palestinian.” Our blind belief in these labels needs to be examined and understood as mere conceptual designations for convenience, not factual reality. Correctly understanding these labels offers a universal and impartial solution, powerful enough to tear down the divisions of race, gender, ethnicity, politics, religion, and status that cause so much conflict. This understanding unites us with a sense of purpose, peace, and unconditional care for all beings. It is the perfect remedy for human problems, as peace, happiness, and prosperity are the best ways to live, and this knowledge makes them possible in an instant
