The Global small self

Why War is a War on Ourselves

You are fundamentally connected to every human being on this planet. This is not a poetic sentiment or a comforting metaphor, but the mechanical reality of your existence. You, and everyone you will ever meet, are localized expressions of the exact same Spirit. We are all formed from the First Matter, the pure, vibrating energy that fuels the cosmos and orchestrates the dance of the universe. When you understand this foundational physics of reality, the concept of war ceases to be a necessary political tool and reveals itself as a profound biological and spiritual error. War is never the answer because it is structurally incapable of producing peace. To understand why, we must look at the mechanics of conflict through the lens of Simplicity, stripping away the geopolitical noise to see the raw energy operating beneath it.

​Right now, we are witnessing a masterclass in the destructive power of the small self on the global stage. We see it in the catastrophic decision by the American administration to launch major combat operations in Iran, raining destruction down on a sovereign nation under the guise of security. We see it in the unprecedented, aggressive kidnapping of Venezuela’s president in the middle of the night. We see it in the deliberate, suffocating blockades designed to starve the people of Cuba into a friendly takeover. And we see it in the bizarre, imperialistic attempts to steal Greenland, treating a massive landmass and its people as a simple real estate transaction. These are not isolated incidents of tough diplomacy. They are the symptoms of a profound spiritual sickness. Donald Trump’s actions represent the absolute mobilization of the small self, a perspective that views the entire world through the lens of fear, scarcity, and division.

​The small self is the construct of identity that relies entirely on separation to survive. It looks at the world and immediately draws arbitrary lines in the sand, creating labels of us versus them. It operates from a baseline of terror, convincing us that the universe is a hostile environment and that the only way to ensure our own safety is to dominate, exploit, or eliminate the perceived threat of the other. When an individual operates from the small self, they experience personal friction. When an entire nation allows this fear-based identity to take the wheel, the result is the mass mobilization of violence and coercion. It demands that we look at another expression of the First Matter and deny its inherent value. It forces us to forget our shared origin and believe the absolute illusion that we are fundamentally separate from the people we are harming.

​Because every sentient being is an expression of the same universal Energy, attacking another human being is mechanically identical to your left hand attacking your right hand. Just as a root system shares nutrients and information across a vast forest floor, humanity is bound together by the invisible, unbreakable threads of existence. To drop a bomb on a city in Iran is to send a massive shockwave of destruction through your own energetic system. To kidnap a foreign leader in Venezuela is a desperate attempt to exert physical control over the external world because of a profound lack of internal stability. There are no isolated incidents in a unified universe. When you destroy a part of the network, the entire network suffers the loss of that vitality. War and aggression are not defenses against an enemy. They are autoimmune diseases of the human species.

​This same spiritual error drives the economic and territorial aggressions we are watching unfold. To intentionally starve the island of Cuba through fuel and resource blockades is a failure to recognize the shared life force of its people. It treats human lives not as sacred expressions of Spirit, but as leverage in a geopolitical game. Similarly, the desire to absorb Greenland exposes the endless, unquenchable greed of the small self. The ego always believes that acquiring more territory, more wealth, or more power will somehow satisfy its deep internal emptiness. But the First Matter cannot be owned, bought, or stolen. The earth is not a commodity to be hoarded by the most aggressive player. It is the shared environment where the Creative Law operates.

​These global conflicts are almost always justified by the mechanics of Terminal Urgency. This is the dangerous belief that we must sacrifice the reality of the present moment to secure a hypothetical, peaceful future. Leaders declare that we must fight, starve, and dominate today so that we can have security tomorrow. But tomorrow does not exist. The Creative Law operates only in the absolute present moment. The Law is entirely neutral. It simply takes the energy you input and manifests more of the same. If a nation inputs the energy of violence, kidnapping, and starvation into the present moment, the Creative Law will inevitably shape a reality defined by violence, retaliation, and suffering. You cannot plant seeds of coercion and expect to harvest a crop of peace. The means are the end in the making.

​Furthermore, these actions are fueled by a massive accumulation of Emotional Debt. Nations carry historical grievances, refusing to release the past. Instead of applying the utility of forgiveness to sever the cord of history, war and blockades attempt to balance the ledger through retribution, which only creates a new ledger of debt for the other side. It is a perpetual motion machine of human suffering.

​The only mechanism capable of dismantling this machinery of conflict is a collective return to our True Nature. When you strip away the flags, the political ideologies, the historical borders, and the fearful narratives of the small self, you are left with the undeniable reality of Spirit. When you operate from your True Nature, you look across the ocean and you do not see a monster in Iran or a bargaining chip in Cuba. You see a reflection of yourself, temporarily lost in the exact same illusion of separation. You recognize the same energy breathing through their lungs. You understand that their desire for safety, love, and existence is identical to your own.

​Peace cannot be achieved through the mechanics of war, just as you cannot clean a window with muddy water. True peace is not the silent aftermath of a conquered enemy or a starved nation. It is the active, vibrant presence of Alignment. It is the realization that the world is a single, unbroken field of energy. Until our leaders choose to operate from the clarity of their True Nature, the friction of human history will continue to burn. But we do not have to wait for politicians to wake up. We can begin by refusing to participate in the hatred. We can recognize the unbreakable tether that binds us to the citizens of Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and Greenland. We can anchor ourselves in the truth of our shared existence. When we finally understand what we are made of, the weapons simply become useless metal, the borders dissolve into meaningless lines, and the profound simplicity of our shared reality is finally revealed.
