Can we exist in a better world?

Question from the Internet:

“Why do so many people tell me that the world that we live in is the best of all possible worlds when I tell them it isn’t?”

You are right. We live in the worst possible world that is operated and governed by our inherently self-serving, self-justifying and exploitative egos.

And it is this unique human ego — that permeates and controls all of our thoughts, decisions and actions — that makes us believe that there is no other reality but what the ego controls and enjoys.

And we blindly follow and serve our ego, think we and the ego are the same and suffer torments, and obediently sleepwalk towards self-destruction like alcohol or drug addicts who cannot give up or cure their addiction.

There is a potentially perfect world that is filled with all the abundance we can imagine.

And we can reach and build that world right here and right now. But the condition for building and reaching that perfect world is separating ourselves from our ego and developing a selfless, altruistic “human being” from our “human observer” that presently associates itself with the ego.

And — as we can imagine — our ego does everything in its incredible power to trick us and deceive us so we would not even contemplate separating our “human observer” from it, or if we already started to try to do so, it will put all kinds of — seemingly insurmountable — obstacles before us.

Thus reaching the perfect world and existence we are capable of achieving goes through a unique and incessant inner war against our irrepressible and indestructible egos.

With the help of a unique, purposeful and practical educational method, we can learn how to subdue, harness and control the awesome driving power of the ego and use it for positive, constructive, mutually responsible and mutually complementing actions and cooperation.

Then we will start to exist in a very different, truly perfect and unlimited world — at the expense of the ego that we keep at an “arm’s length” so it serves us instead of us serving it.
