The One Desire Beneath Everything

From a Buddhist perspective, every being in the Universe is seeking one thing: happiness. But most of us — even those on the spiritual path — are still looking in the wrong places.

We chase comfort, safety, romance, recognition, or control… not because we are shallow, but because we are confused.

Because we’ve forgotten what true happiness actually is. True happiness is not found in any outer form. It lives in the freedom of an awakened soul — in the clarity, compassion, and connection that emerges when ego no longer runs your life.

What’s Really Blocking Your Joy?

There’s a word in Hebrew mysticism: Ratzon Atsmi — the “selfish will.”

In Sanskrit, it’s called Ahamkara — the “I-maker,” the ego that builds identity around illusion.

In Tibetan Buddhism, it’s marigpa — ignorance of our true nature.

The result is the same: We suffer because we see ourselves as separate.

• Separate from God.

• Separate from each other.

• Separate from our own soul.

We try to fix this suffering with noise: more success, more therapy, more tools, more knowledge, more light, more healing.

But without deep inner transformation — we’re just spiritually rearranging furniture in a burning house.

The deepest obstacle to awakening isn’t your trauma. It’s the structure of your self that you’ve unconsciously built around it.

The problem is OUR Egocentrism (Not in the way you might think). Egocentrism isn’t about arrogance. It’s about living life as if you are a separate self — isolated, defensive, always managing or proving or fixing something.

Our entire world is built around this egoic lens: Our institutions, our culture, even much of our spirituality is saturated with it.

But from the view of an enlightened being, this egoic structure is the source of all suffering.

We commit.

Not to a weekend workshop. Not to a temporary high. We commit to a life of remembering. Because in truth, your soul already knows the way home.

• In Kabbalah, your true nature is called Neshama — divine breath.

• In Buddhism, it is Buddha Nature — the awakened essence beneath the mind.

• In Yogic tradition, it’s Sat-Chit-Ananda — existence, consciousness, and bliss.

You are already whole.

But you’ve been wrapped in layers of distortion — what the Hebrew tradition calls klipot (shells), what the Eastern path calls veils, and what we call… programming.

Real transformation is not about becoming someone else. It’s about unraveling what you’re not, and returning to what you’ve always been.

We begin the real work — not just “healing” to feel better, but transforming to become who we really are. And we do it together.

Because no one can walk your path for you… But you were never meant to walk it alone.

We guide liberation — through a framework that holds you steady in the real work, week after week.

So What Do We Do?
