…we can unveil the one truth that holds the key to word peace today.

An overlooked fact of life, missed by 99% of people, promises lasting peace and prosperity.

Our understanding of ourselves and others is rooted in our sensory experiences, they serve as the foundation for all experiences, knowledge and beliefs. Yet, the accuracy of our senses and the knowledge they provide remain unquestioned by most people and institutions. When was the last time you examined your own senses' accuracy and the experiences they provide you with?

A shared human experience is the perception and experience of self and others. Our senses convey the existence of a unique and individual self, some kind of distinct essence that separates us and makes us different from others. However, is this a factual reality or a fiction created by our unaware minds? Let's discover the truth through a remarkably simple and accurate 3-step personal inquiry. So, whether you think you are Jewish, Zionist, non-Jewish, Palestinian, or any other type, take a moment to examine if that identity you're experiencing is a fact or make-believe.

To claim an individual essence (self) we must be one unique and permanent self, full of our own essence, and not a product of everything else and their essence. We also must exist as different without our minds' labels. So, let’s take a closer look at ourselves.

Let's delve into these three questions:

Q1. Are you a permanent singular being?

Is your body or any part of it one unchanging thing? Is your mind, the stream of consciousness with its constant flow of thoughts, feelings, perceptions, etc, one unchanging moment? Or, do you experience yourself as one individual self, distinct from the body and mind? Despite what we believe our experience is not different or apart from the body and mind complex, and thus people aren't one unchanging thing. Our bodies and minds are not standalone entities, rather they’re like puzzles made of countless ever-changing and ever-smaller physical parts. Our minds are made up of an infinite number of ever-shorter moments of consciousness originating from previous moments. There is no other “you” anywhere that may be different and unrelated to the body and mind. No soul or other you can be found apart from the body and mind. If there was some other you or a soul, the body and mind and their experiences would have to belong and be experienced by someone else’s conscious mind. But our experience is only of the body and mind, we don’t have any other experiences without the body and conscious mind. So, where is the unique and individual me? There isn’t one unique me, there never was. “Me” is only a label, a concept the mind invents and projects onto the whole complex of ever-changing physical and nonphysical elements (the body & mind). So, without the body and mind, there is no other unlabeled unique me that exists apart from them. Therefore, all people are truly identical because everyone shares identical physical essence (our bodies are made of carbon, nitrogen, calcium, oxygen, phosphorous, hydrogen, adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and others, and our minds are made of countless moments of consciousness creating a sense of moment to moment existence. We also share universal origin because everyone lacks an individual nature that could generate us. Everyone is the manifestation of the same universal nature, and thus we are not different from it and simply living through all life forms.

Q2. Are you full of your own essence or full of everything else?

Is your body or any part of it truly full of your essence, or is it a product of various elements? Is your mind one unchanged moment since birth? Or is your mind composed of an infinite number of ever shorter moments of consciousness full of fleeing thoughts, perceptions, and feelings creating the sense of continuous flow of existence? Or, do you perceive and experience yourself as a distinct, permanent singular self unrelated to the body and mind? Let’s be honest and see the unbiased facts that your DNA and body are a mix of various and countless atoms of carbon, nitrogen, calcium, oxygen, phosphorous, hydrogen, adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and others. Today, your mind calls these elements "my body" or “me”, but they're the same elements that produced the first cells almost 4 billion years ago. They were the DNA and bodies of countless other plants, animals, and people since then and before you. They're not yours or theirs, they are the continuum of the whole of universal nature constantly recycling these parts and pursuing life from one form to the next, from this moment to this one. The shape of bodies may change but the essence and origin do not. The body and its parts are not a standalone, unchanging "you." They are not full of your essence, but full of the Universal essence. They are the product of everything that has ever existed before, and only now your mind calls all that “me”. The same is true with your mind. Your mind is not the same moment as it was at birth or before it. Your mind at birth was a product of the previous moment of the mind which led you to this moment. This current moment will produce another moment of consciousness ever evolving forever changing.

Q3. Are you a Jew, Zionist, non-Jew, or Palestinian without the mind's labels?

Let's revisit Q1 and Q2.

The analysis of Q1 and Q2 reveals that there is no unique essence or origin for anyone to claim. DNA, body, and mind are all identical because they are constantly changing and lack any individual nature or essence that could generate them. Instead, they are the products of the Universal nature and its essence. Everyone is fundamentally identical in essence and origin, this irrefutable fact makes us without individual selves. The belief in being Jewish, Zionist, non-Jewish, or Palestinian is only a fictitious belief. An ungrounded invention of our unaware mind and only exists in concepts our minds believe in. They are a product of ignorance of not knowing the true essence and origin everyone shares. Labels such as “Jewish”, “Zionist”, “non-Jewish”, or “Palestinian” are mere conceptual fictions created long before you adopted them. Do you remember when we played cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians as children? We called ourselves “cops” or “robbers” and got into the role, but we always knew this was just a make-believe role made up in our minds. Today, we must remind ourselves that according to the facts of existence, there are no truly Jewish or non-Jewish people without our mind's labels and belief in them. They only exist as concepts in our minds and not anywhere in reality. We convinced ourselves to play the make-believe game of a Jew or non-Jew, just like the make-believe game of cops and robbers. We must recognize that we are still playing this conceptual game now and it is causing us so much misery, and it is simply against our true nature.

Playing make-believe games of a Jew and non-jew is a pure fantasy that gives rise to two simultaneous realities.

  1. The relative, when we are not aware of the true nature of all existence. This reality is experienced by 99% of people today. Being rooted in ignorance it perpetuates dissatisfaction, problems, and suffering due to the incorrect belief in a unique and individual self.

  2. The ultimate reality is based on the irrefutable and unbiased facts of existence. The ultimate reality recognizes everyone's identical essence and origin, and views labels such as “me” and “you”, etc, as mere conveniences and not facts. In the ultimate reality, everyone is seen as identical, as oneself, eliminating the concepts of enemies and threats. Choosing this truth brings contentment, peace, and harmony to all.

Isn’t time for all of us to embrace the truth about ourselves and everyone and embrace the ultimate and true reality? Doing so would end Israeli-Palestinian conflicts and antisemitism in a single day forever. The choice is ours—to live in a reality of universal justice, happiness, security, prosperity, and world peace, or perpetuate ignorance that keeps playing the make-believe game and keeps pretending to be Jewish or non-Jewish. This only leads to narrow-mindedness, hatred, violence, war, and negativity without an end in sight.  Playing make-believe games is good for children as long as they are not truly harming themselves, but most of us are no longer kids and we should stop playing them and harming ourselves and return to our true nature that is full of peace, joy, and prosperity.
