The Universal Solution to Human Conflict: Revealing the Illusion of Separation.
Humanity has long been divided by conflicts based on the unrecognized illusion that we are distinct and separate entities. The ongoing Israeli-Palestinian and Russian-Ukrainian wars, like many others, are rooted in this fundamental misunderstanding. A single, unbiased fact—unknown to most people—can change the course of human history and resolve not only these conflicts but all conflicts across the world instantly. This fact, backed by simple science and logic derived from existence itself, proves that how people appear to exist is contrary to how they actually exist. Once understood, it can free us from the illusion of separation, which manifests in the cycle of endless suffering, fear, hatred, dissatisfaction, and war.
The Illusion of Separate Selves.
Most people perceive themselves and others as unique, independent entities—individual selves with distinct identities. Israelis and Palestinians, Russians and Ukrainians, like all people, believe they possess an essence that makes them different from one another. This belief is reinforced by physical appearances, experiences, cultural identities, and societal labels. However, this perception is a deception created by our senses, fueled by ignorance of how everyone truly exists. The truth is that no human being exists as an independent, singular entity the way they appear to our senses.
Our bodies and minds are not composed of a permanent, unchanging essence—some kind of individual self that is uniquely "me" and thus different and separate from all others and existence itself. Instead, they are made up of an infinite number of ever-smaller physical and nonphysical parts. Neither the whole body, the mind, nor any part of them is one entity full of its own essence. What is not one entity has no individual or unique essence or separate nature capable of generating itself, as it was produced by an infinite number of ever-smaller particles. No atom, quark, human body, or mind is one entity with an independent nature capable of producing itself—rather, everything is full of universal nature and essence. Just as our bodies are made of atoms—carbon, nitrogen, calcium, and so on—our minds are made of fleeting moments of perception, thought, and feeling. No moment of the mind is one, standalone moment either, but a product of the previous infinite number of ever-shorter moments of consciousness. There is no fixed "self" that endures over time or is of a different essence from what produced it. This continuous flow of experiences and elements is constantly changing, and it belongs not to an independent self but to the whole universe that produces and lives through the endless forms our minds label "me," "them," "universe," "humans," "animals," and so on. Facts of existence reveal that no person or part of the universe is a singular entity with an individual nature capable of self-generation. Everyone's nature is identical to the universal nature and universal essence. We wrongly believe that the cause producing us (the universal nature) is different from the effect (us), but the cause and effect are one and the same—only differing in our mind's labels of "cause," "effect," "me," "universe," etc. We'll go further into the role of labels later in the article.
The Science of Interconnectedness and sameness.
Scientifically, we know that all life shares a common origin because no one can generate themselves, and no part—no matter how large or small—can either. The elements that make up our bodies today have existed for billions of years, forming the first cells and evolving through countless forms of life. They are life itself, perpetually unfolding from moment to moment. These same elements have been the DNA and bodies of plants, animals, and people long before they were labeled "Israeli," "Palestinian",“Russians”, “Ukrainians” or any other superficial identity. The idea of distinct, independent selves is merely an invention of our minds—a social convention, a mental construct, a label that exists only in our minds and not in reality.
Labels like "Israeli", "Palestinian", “Russians” or “Ukrainians” are not part of our physical or psychological reality. They are invented by the mind and projected onto selfless existence and incorrectly believed as facts apart from our mind. The body parts and minds of people are real and valid, but they are not inherently Israeli, Palestinian, Russian or Ukrainian without our minds projecting and believing in labels such as "Israeli", "Palestinian", “Russians” and “Ukrainians” as facts about the bodies. The bodies, or any physical form is not Israeli, Palestinian, Russian or Ukrainian without our mind’s belief in these labels. But notice that majority of people believe the labels originate from the side of the bodies and not from their minds, this is how it appears to us, yet it is 100% contradictory to facts. All labels come from our minds and not from the side of the physical bodies. When we examine the nature of existence closely, we find that all differences are relative to our knowledge and understanding, and thus superficial and inaccurate and exist only in our mind’s labels because we are all fundamentally the same universal selves without a trace of inherent difference. We are all products of the same universal nature—not apart from it—and therefore there is no essential difference between anyone or anything.
The Role of Labels in Creating Conflict.
The conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians, and Russians and Ukrainians—like all human conflicts—arise from our unfamiliarity with our identical universal nature and the mistaken belief in the reality of labels. We treat others as different and separate because we believe in the labels we assign to them. However, these labels are not based on reality. The body and mind of a person labeled "Israeli" are identical in essence to those labeled "Palestinian." The only difference lies in the concepts created by the mind and our ignorant belief in them as facts—nothing more.
This ignorance of our true nature (nondualistic) leads to endless dissatisfaction and suffering. We fabricate divisions between ourselves and others based in our mind’s concepts. These baseless and imagined divisions give rise to war, hatred, and dissatisfaction in our minds only. In truth, all conflict between people is conflict against oneself that only appears as other because of our own ignorance of our true nature and labels. The victim and the victimizer are not two separate entities; they are the same. When we engage in conflict, we are fighting against ourselves—against our shared, universal nature.
A Universal Solution to End Conflict.
The key to ending all human conflict lies in understanding this fundamental truth: there is no separate or different self outside of what appears to be me. Once we recognize that all people are identical in essence—products of the same universal nature—the reasons for conflict dissolve. Fear, hatred, and distrust lose their power, and the divisions created by our minds are finally seen as 100% false.
This realization offers a universal and impartial solution to all conflicts, whether they are based on race, religion, nationality, or any other label. The correct understanding of how we exist unites us with a sense of purpose and fulfillment. It removes fear and offers permanent peace, compassion, and unconditional care for all living beings. Peace, happiness, and prosperity become achievable when we acknowledge that we are all one with the universe that only appears to produce us.
Conclusion: Embracing the Truth for a Better Future.
The truth about our existence has the power to transform humanity. It can end all wars and conflicts by exposing the illusion of separation. Israelis and Palestinians, Russians and Ukrainians—like all people—are not distinct, independent entities; they are continuations of the same universal nature existing in all life forms. The only differences between them exist in the labels created by the mind, and nowhere else.
By embracing this truth, we can create a world where conflict is replaced by understanding, and hatred gives way to compassion. The facts about how we exist make ending war not only possible but imperative and easy, as all wars are ultimately fought against ourselves. The path to peace lies in recognizing that there are no others—only ourselves mislabeled as "others" by our minds and misunderstood as facts.
This understanding, supported by science and logic derived from existence istself, is the key to a future of security, peace, and prosperity for all. It is the perfect cure for humanity’s problems, and it is available to anyone willing to look beyond the illusions created by their senses and the forgetfulness of our true nature shared with everyone and existence itself.
