This article explores the common experience of achieving major worldly success (like wealth and goals) only to feel a sense of emptiness or void, explaining this phenomenon from a “God’s Eternal Perspective.”
The core argument is that this emptiness is a predictable result of operating from a false, ego-driven state and a mistaken understanding of one’s true Individual-Self-Identity.
The False Perspective (Ego/Mortal)
- Misconception of Identity: The false belief that the physical body is the “Image and Likeness of God,” leading to an identification with a “mortal human” and a false self/mind called the “ego.”
- The Problem of Sin and Death: This mindset is rooted in theological superstitions that claim the Spirit and Soul are separated by sin, introducing a state of mind separate from “God’s Eternal MIND.”
- Futility of Striving: Human effort and the pursuit of material possessions are ultimately futile because they are performed within this false belief system, which is confronted by the inescapable certainty of death. Every gain is eventually negated by mortality, creating an existential void.
The Eternal Foundation (Spirit’s Perception)
Genuine happiness and peace are found by shifting to “Spirit’s Perception” and focusing on “God’s Eternal Truth.” This involves recognizing:
- God’s Attributes as Antidotes to the Void:
- Omnipresence vs. Absence: God is OMNIPRESENCE, meaning the void is an illusion and a “perceptual error” rather than a reality.
- Eternity vs. Mortality: God is ETERNAL, and recognizing oneself as an Eternal BEING removes the pressure of the “clock running out.”
- Love vs. Transaction: God is LOVE. Your True SELF—the Soul, the Image and Likeness of God—is “Eternally God’s Eternal Love,” which is dynamic and “thrilling with enjoyment and happiness,” contrasting with the transactional ego world.
- The True Nature of SELF: Your ONE and Only SELF-Identity is the Image and Likeness of God, the Soul, which is a Spirit BEING and cannot be contained within a physical body. Your Soul IS God ITSELF.
- Present Abundance: “SELF-Awareness”grants the certainty that the “Kingdom of Heaven is perpetually at hand,” providing an “Eternal Affluence” to be enjoyed in this very moment.
The feeling of emptiness is reframed as a “denial of the Eternal Truth,” arising because the self, being, and mind one identifies with (the ego/mortal human) “does not truly exist.”

I. Introduction: The Predictable Void
You did it. You hit the six-figure mark, closed the big deal, or launched the dream business. The fireworks went off, the congratulations poured in—and then, the silence. In the aftermath of your greatest victory, a profound, unsettling emptiness set in. You sacrificed everything to get to the summit, yet the view from the top is hollow. Why does reaching your biggest, most ambitious goal—the one you were certain would bring lasting joy—leave you feeling like you missed the entire point? This article explains why that feeling is not a sign of ingratitude, but a predictable signal that you’ve been operating from a false identity and are ready for a shift to your true Eternal Self.
True happiness cannot be found through human effort, the pursuit of material wealth, physical or material possessions. Millions of people have been falsely educated and conditioned to believe that happiness, peace of mind and fulfilment can be gotten through accumulating money and things, under the mesmerising illusion that “the more money and possessions one has, the happier the person would be”.
People work hard, reach their goal, get the money-lot of it and then what? Emptiness.
They do all the work and get everything they want except fulfillment. They dedicate their lives to achieving financial success, acquiring significant wealth… and then face a void. They accomplish everything they set out for, except true fulfillment.
The critical question is: Why?
From God’s Eternal Perspective, the common experience of feeling “empty” even after achieving outward success. This feeling is not an unusual occurrence; rather, it is a predictable result of operating from a false, ego-driven state, which fundamentally arises from a mistaken understanding of one’s true self identity.
This void is a predictable result of operating from a “false, ego-driven state” and a mistaken understanding of one’s true identity (“God’s Eternal Perspective”).
II. The False Perspective: The Ego’s Fatal Flaw
Theological superstition believes introduced our current basis of how we perceive “self”. The basis of our individual-self-identity lies in the belief of sin and death. This belief claims that the Spirit and the Soul are separated because of sin. Hence introducing a new state of mind, being and self different from God’s Eternal MIND which is the Only MIND.
A. The Misconception of Identity:
The false belief that the physical body is the “Image and Likeness of God,” leading to identification with the “mortal human” and the “ego.”
Let me take you back to where this all began. The whole of Genesis chapter 1 to the end tells us of how we came to being. Go read, and when you do you will see that God made MAN in His Image and Likeness.
As you pay attention to the MAN God made you discover that the MAN God made in His Image and Likeness in Genesis chapter 1:26-27 is a Spirit being who had no body. That Divine MAN had no physical body hence no brain, flesh, legs, hands. That is God’s making Himself in the Image and Likeness of Himself.This is the ONLY Individual-SELF-Identity God made and recognized and this Individual SELF is Spirit.
Theological and superstitious beliefs suggest that the Divine Man God committed a sin, leading to the separation of the Spirit and the Soul. Consequently, the Soul is deemed lost due to this sin. This line of reasoning inherently implies that God-Individual-SELF-Identity sinned, the Soul is lost and the Image and Likeness of God is now mortal, cursed, fallen from grace and separated or divided from God.
The emptiness and void you experience stem from this fundamental misconception: the belief that the physical body is the image and likeness of God within which is the lost soul.
This premise misdirected attention to the body as the distinct individual self, claiming it harbors a “lost soul,” imprisoned by sin and transgressions.
By defining this supposed Image and Likeness of God as a mortal human, an entirely new state of mind ( Ego), being (Mortal), and self (Personality) was introduced—one wholly separate from God’s Eternal MIND, which is the Only MIND.
B. The Basis of Conflict (Sin and Death):
This ego-mind is rooted in theological superstitions that claim the Soul is separated from God becuase of sin, creating a mind separate from “God’s Eternal MIND.”
Operating from a foundation of theological superstition requires one to accept the false premises of sin and death. This flawed way of thinking and being embraces a worldview where God is considered deceitful, Eternal Truth is false, Life is mortal, the Image and Likeness of God is merely human, Omnipresence is absent, Omnipotence is weak, Omniscience is foolish, and Omniaction is paralyzed.
As a direct and predictable result of this delusion, a person actively avoids God’s Eternal Spiritual Principle, rejects God’s Eternal Authority, denies their God-given Eternal Individual-SELF-Identity, and consequently finds themselves in deep conflict with their own self – the Image and Likeness of God or the Soul.
The feeling of “emptiness” you experience, even with all your perceived wealth, stems from control by a false mind—the “ego.”
This ego represents a false consciousness, a false self, or a false being that dictates and controls your life. By identifying yourself with your physical body, you allow the ego to take control. Therefore, any attempt to engage with or act against the ego inherently means rejecting the Eternal Nature of God.
C. The Futility of Worldly Striving:
Theological doctrines, teachings, and superstitious beliefs often direct attention toward external realities, fostering a relentless longing for material possessions and constant acquisition. Historically, humanity has been driven by this quest for a livelihood and a secure social standing. This unending struggle is fueled by a desire for “more” that can never be satisfied.
People work hard, reach their goal, get the money-lot of it and then what? Emptiness. They do all the work and get everything they want except fulfillment. They dedicate their lives to achieving financial success, acquiring significant wealth… and then face a void.
Human labor and the pursuit of material possessions are ultimately negated by the inescapable certainty of death.
Yet, despite this boundless ambition, humans are aware that their gains will inevitably be taken away by death. This inescapable certainty fuels their labour, but they rarely question the stacked odds against them in a game where no human player can truly win.
Every material gain is temporary, leading to a fundamental, existential void.
III. The Eternal Foundation: Shifting to Spirit’s Perception
To address the root cause of existential emptiness, one must look beyond clinical psychology into the realm of Eternal Spiritual Individual-SELF-Identity. The core of the issue is that human history has been defined by a relentless striving for survival and status, fueled by a cognitive capacity for foresight that is ultimately confronted by the inescapability of death. Every monument and unit of wealth is eventually negated by mortality, creating a fundamental futility that serves as the engine for human labor but also the source of an existential void.
- A. The True Nature of SELF: Your ONE and Only SELF-Identity is the Image and Likeness of God, the Soul, a Spirit BEING that is God ITSELF.
- B. God’s Attributes as Antidotes to the Void:
- Omnipresence vs. Absence: The “void” is an illusion—a “perceptual error”—because God is OMNIPRESENCE.
- Eternity vs. Mortality: Recognizing yourself as an Eternal BEING removes the pressure of the “clock running out” and the futility of mortal striving.
- Love vs. Transaction: Your True SELF is “Eternally God’s Eternal Love,” which is dynamic, vital, and “thrilling with enjoyment and happiness,” in contrast to the transactional ego world.
- C. The Reality of Present Abundance: “SELF-Awareness” grants the certainty of “Eternal Affluence”—the “Kingdom of Heaven is perpetually at hand” to be enjoyed now.
The Construct of the “Mortal Human” and the Ego-Mind
Genuine fulfillment is unattainable through human effort or material accumulation because these actions are performed within a “false belief system of sin and death”. This framework, often referred to as the “Ego’s sense” or “Adam’s sense,” perceives the world as limited, flawed, and unsatisfying.
From this perspective, the “mortal human” is a counterfeit Individual-self-identity—an “inverted likeness” of the true Spiritual Individual SELF-Identity.
The emptiness one feels is the result of accepting profound contradictions: that life is mortal, that the image and likeness of God can be trapped in sin, and that the fundamental attributes of God—Omnipresence, Omnipotence, and Omniscience—are somehow absent or weakened in the human experience.
To operate from the “Ego” is to deny the “Eternal Truth” that God is All-in-All.
Analysis of Divine Attributes: Omnipresence, Eternity, and Love
God is OMNIPRESENCE,” “God is ETERNAL,” and “God is LOVE”—provide the conceptual antithesis to the experience of emptiness.
- Omnipresence vs. Lost Soul: The feeling of “emptiness” you feel is a mere perceptual error, not an objective reality, because the Omnipresence of God is an Eternal FACT where the Spirit and the Soul function as a SINGLE BEING. This Eternal Truth directly refutes ” theological superstitious belief of a mortal human being” misconception that the the Soul is lost, that the Image and Likeness of God is a sinner fallen from Grace and the Divine MAN made in God’s Image and Likeness is a mortal human being within it is the Soul.
- Eternity vs. Mortality: “God being ETERNAL” addresses limiting beliefs, the fear of death and the emptiness you experience. Looking at your current experience through God’s Eternal Lens, you will discover that the Soul is God’s Present All Perceiving Intelligence. The Soul is the part of God’s BEING which identifies “What is” and “What is NOT.” It’s like how the body has different parts and each part has its own function. So the Soul or the Image and Likeness of God is that part of God’s Nature which functions in identifying “What is true and What is not true. So whenever the ego brings up any of its false suggestions, the Soul or the Image Likeness is the part that takes every suggestion and put them under the lens of God’s Eternal Truth to determine if that suggestion is real, truth or not. Now that you have been presented with a false image of a self, have been conditioned to believe that the soul is lost, that Soul’s ability just does not exist in the pretend state of the ego-mind.
Theological superstitious beliefs and claims that the Soul is lost means they have no idea of who God truly is and are ignorant of God’s SINGLENESS and the fact that the Soul is the ONLY Single lens of perception. Recognizing your SELF as God’s Eternal Individual-SELF-Identity removes the pressure of the “clock running out” and frees you from the emptiness so that you will start seeing clearly.
- Love vs. Transaction: “God is LOVE” identifies the true nature of your true Individual- SELF-Identity. Your true SELF is “Eternally God’s Eternal Love,” an intelligence that is dynamic, vital, and “thrilling with inner peace and happiness”. This is totally different from the ego’s usual world, which is always about competing and trading, where you feel like you have to earn your value by what you achieve.
The Differences
| Eternal Pillar | Ego/Mortal Perspective | God Eternal Spiritual Reality | Visual Representation |
| Presence | God is distant; the Soul is lost, the void is real. | God is Omnipresence; the void is an illusion. | God is OMNIPRESENCE |
| Duration | The image and Likeness of God is human, Life is mortal; death negates achievement. | Life is Eternal; Soul is indissoluble. Spirit is indivisible, impossible to separate | God is ETERNAL |
| Individual-SELF-Identity | Personality is the self, Self-worth equals net worth. | The Image and Likeness of God, the Soul is God ITSELF. SELF is God’s Eternal SELF. | God is LOVE |
| Substance | Matter is the basis of life and joy. | Spirit/Mind is the only Substance. The Substance of All Things. Spirit is the Substance of All, hence God is All in All. | Eternal Nature of God |
“Denial Of The Eternal Truth”
Adopting the false mindset of the ego—rooted in the concepts of sin, mortality, and linear causality—is the source of profound internal mental, emotional and physical conflict. This external, mortal worldview necessitates accepting contradictions that negate God’s Eternal Truth: claiming that God, who is All in All, is false; that the Image and Likeness of God, which is God ITSELF, sinned (implying God is deceitful); and that Life of God is mortal, despite God asserting that His Image and Likeness is God ITSELF.
Although the human world narrative says the contrary, God’s Eternal Truth Stands. God’s Eternal Reality is the only true, never-fading reality, as it is within and of God. Therefore, God made ONLY ONE SINGLE INDIVIDUAL SELF, which is God ITSELF, in His Image and Likeness.
God NEVER created a mortal human being.
Your Soul IS God ITSELF and cannot be contained within a physical body, despite the popular narrative of the theological superstitious and human world.
God’s Eternal Truth remains unchanged because God is unchangeable.
Anything that seems to contradict this God’s Eternal Present Perfection of who you are is without substance, lacking Presence, Power, or an Individual SELF-Identity.
Consequently, it is why you feel empty because the self, being and mind you identify as you does not exist.
The ego merely uses your body to simulate the existence of a personality, but it is not genuine.
IV. Actionable Insights: The Shift to Eternal Truth
- A. Seeing Beyond the Physical Body: Recognize yourself as a Spirit BEING, not a mortal creature, and see your body as “Perfect body formed in Spirit.”
- B. Embracing the Joy of Your True Individual-SELF-Identity: Understand that your true SELF is LOVE in action, dynamic and full of inner peace and happiness.
- C. Accepting Present Abundance & Certainty: Stop searching and struggling; accept that “Eternal wealth, riches” is already yours within your God-SELF-Individual-Identity.
You really find genuine happiness and inner peace when you start looking at things through “Spirit’s Perception” and basically change your whole idea of existence to focus on God’s Eternal Truth.
The feeling of emptiness arises because the self, mind, and being you identify with is an illusion; it does not truly exist.
Only God’s Eternal Reality, which is inherently God and resides within this God-Individual-SELF-Identity, for it is truly real and imperishable.
God’s Individual-SELF-Identity which is His Image and Likeness, is not a mortal human being.
Your Soul is God ITSELF and cannot be contained within your physical body, despite the conflicting narrative of the human world.
This Eternal Truth stands unshakeable.
Anything that appears to contradict this Eternal Present Perfection is insubstantial, lacking real Presence, Power, or an Individual SELF-Identity.
This shift brings happiness and peace of mind through a few key insights.
- I. Seeing Beyond the Physical Body (The True Nature of SELF and World):
When you view your existence and body through your Eternal Perception—the Eternal Truth that your ONE and Only SELF-Identity is the Image and Likeness of God, the Soul—the focus moves away from the physical. You recognize yourself as a Spirit BEING and your body as a Perfect body formed in Spirit. These Spiritual realities are described as “enduring, affluent and Eternally happy in ITs Eternal availability forever.” This reveals that the Image and Likeness of God is not a mortal creature, but a Completely Perfect God BEING.
- II. Embracing The Joy of Your True Individual-SELF-Identity:
Your True SELF—the Soul, or the Image and Likeness of God—is Eternally God’s Eternal Love. This Almighty Intelligence is far from static or dull; it is dynamic, vital, and consistently “thrilling with inner peace, the REST of God and happiness.”
V. Conclusion: The Real You Exists Now
- A. The Final Reframing: Your emptiness is a “denial of the Eternal Truth,” a signal that the ego-self you identify with “does not truly exist.”
- B. Final Call to Action: The shift from striving (“doing”) to BEING begins with a change in perception.
- III. Accepting Present Abundance (Immediate Wholeness):
There is no need to wait, search, or struggle for happiness and peace of mind. Your True “SELF-Identity” “SELF-Awareness” provides the constant certainty that the Kingdom of Heaven is perpetually at hand, forever within your God-SELF which is the Image and Likeness or the Soul. This grants an “Eternal Wealth” that comes with complete happiness and peace from God not from the Ego. True wealth is God. Is already yours to completely use and enjoy right NOW. It does not come with ego badges.
The “void” is reframed not as a lack of money or status, but as a “denial of the Eternal Truth”.11
- Omnipresence as the antidote to Loneliness: “Since God is OMNIPRESENCE, the void you feel isn’t an empty space—it’s a clouded perception of a false mind, self and being”.
- Eternity as the antidote to Burnout: “When you stop viewing your life from a mortal point of view against the clock and start seeing yourself as an ETERNAL BEING of God’s Eternal Mind, the ‘striving’ stops and ‘BEING’ begins”.
- Love as the antidote to Worthiness: “Your true Individual-SELF-Identity isn’t your body; it is LOVE in action, God being”.
Summary
The feeling of emptiness experienced after achieving major life goals is a predictable result of operating from a “false, ego-driven state” that mistakenly identifies the self with the mortal human body, an identity rooted in theological superstitions of sin and death. This “False Perspective” leads to the futile pursuit of material possessions, as all gains are eventually negated by mortality, creating an existential void because the self one identifies with “does not truly exist.” Genuine fulfillment is found by shifting to “Spirit’s Perception,” recognizing one’s true identity as the Eternal BEING (the Soul, which is the Image and Likeness of God ITSELF), and understanding that God’s attributes—Omnipresence, Eternity, and Love—prove the void is merely a “perceptual error,” allowing one to accept the “Eternal Affluence”and happiness that is perpetually available in the present moment.
