We live in a world defined by labels. We cling to different ideologies, identify as religious, and anchor our lives in various philosophies. But despite our intellectual structures, most of us have yet to see the truth of the universal mechanism.
The reality is far simpler, and far more profound, than our theories suggest.
The Myth of Division
According to ultimate truth, we are not divided. We are not separate entities struggling against one another. The same fundamental energy passes through every one of us, and our lives arise from the same singular root. We are a global community trapped in a collective misunderstanding. We believe we are separate because we are trapped in our mental limits, mistaking our narrow range of thoughts for the absolute truth. We defend our boundaries, yet we wonder why our peace has not yet dawned.
The Burden of Created Values
When viewed from the perspective of the “Whole,” our individual existence is a tiny particle. In the grand cosmic scale, it has no inherent “value” in the way we usually define it.
We have mentally created all the values we live by—success, failure, status, and pride. Ironically, it is because of these self-created values that we find ourselves suffering and suffering. We are being crushed by the weight of concepts we built ourselves.
The Journey to Nowhere
One of the greatest shifts in spiritual consciousness is the realization that life is not about achieving a destination. True wisdom is knowing that there is no journey while living. We think we are traveling from point A to point B, from “unbroken” to “healed,” or from “ignorant” to “enlightened.” But to know the truth is to see that the journey itself is part of the dream.
- To know illusion is to know the truth.
- Illusion is the truth, and truth is the illusion.
Realizing the Doctrine of Emptiness
A person who has realized the ultimate goal no longer looks for a destination. They understand that everything they once perceived as a solid reality—their problems, their goals, their very “self”—is merely a mirage and a dream.
By abandoning the “personal identity,” you stop fighting the ghosts of your own mind. You step into the doctrine of emptiness, where there is nothing to lose, nothing to gain, and nowhere to go. In this emptiness, you finally find the fullness of being.
