We boldly call this initiative One Solution because it demonstrates that all societal problems actually stem from a singular problem. While this might seem overly simplistic, to quote Einstein, “Anybody can make something more complicated; it takes a genius to make it simple.”
The singular problem is this: humans misperceive their experience of life – which includes their feelings and their perception of reality – as being caused by external forces. This single erroneous assumption is as detrimental and limiting as believing the world is flat or that disease is caused by miasmas.
Until now, humanity has lacked a set of causal principles to explain how we have our experience of the world. While we no longer attribute disease to “noxious air,” we do fall for the illusion that the world is happening to us, when in truth, it is coming from us – via momentary thought.
Humanity has made an error. We’ve labeled things as complex “problems,” unaware that they are actually symptoms being caused by a singular problem: people do not understand that their experience is created from the inside-out. Because of this error, there is chronic bad feeling in the world, masquerading as a good reason for a plethora of socio-global issues. Furthermore, well-intentioned people and organizations are putting tremendous money and effort into solving the problems that only exist because of this error.
If we want to solve the biggest global challenges of our time, we must go to the source: the human mind.
