From Optimization to OMNIPRESENCE: The Radical Truth That Ends the Search for Self-Improvement
You have won the game of human life, but the prize feels hollow. It’s not because you haven’t done the work—it’s because you are trying to fix a self that doesn’t exist.
You closed the deal, mastered the routine, and won the game of life. So why, at the very peak of your professional success, does the anxiety still tighten its grip and the emptiness remain?
If you are a high-performing professional, CEO or founder, you are likely familiar with the exhaustion of “winning.” You have exhausted biohacking, standard therapy, and productivity habits. You have done the hard work, gone through the realizations, and applied every positive affirmation, yet the anxiety tightens its grip and the emptiness remains.
Why does winning feel like losing?
The answer lies in a radical shift from Optimization to BEING. It requires deconstructing the “human project” and recognizing that the source of your suffering is a case of mistaken self-identity.
What if the secret to lasting peace isn’t more self-improvement, but no self-improvement at all?
Every self-help book, every affirmation, and every productivity hack has failed you because you are trying to heal an illusion. The suffering high-achievers feel is woven into the very fabric of the “human identity”, a false self you were never meant to fix.
The Trap of the “Human” Identity
Most of us operate under a massive case of mistaken self-identity: we believe we are “human beings”—mortal, flawed creatures born into suffering and destined for death. This belief is rooted in superstitious beliefs, human assumptions about life, and theological teachings that claim we were born sinful, separated from God, and must earn our way back to perfection.
We view our lives through the lens of a “human being.” The belief that Life begins at birth and ends at death. This definition of your being and self-identity as a mortal is the Ego.
The Ego is the “false self-Identity.” It creates a trap where you feel separate from Wholeness and constantly struggle with hidden fears, depression, and the need for external validation. As long as you identify as a mortal human being trying to “fix” yourself, you cannot escape suffering, because suffering is woven into the very fabric of the human self-identity.
How do I know that?
I was once a victim of the ego.
I viewed myself through the lens of a human self-identity that my life began when I was born and will end at death. I did not know I was wearing or carrying the ego’s self-identity.
For years, I went through cycles of mental, physical and emotional suffering to the point where I had to challenge God. Being a born-again Christian, I could not understand why God would allow me to go through so much grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma, all of which started as a result of losing my mother, my grandmother and my sister within the space of six years.
I lived entirely from a limited, ego-based identity, believing my life was confined to birth and death without realizing this was an ego construct. After losing their mother, grandmother, and sister within six years, I fell into intense mental, emotional, and physical suffering, questioning why God allowed such pain despite being a born-again Christian.
I sank into deep, numbing depression marked by existential dread, a constant fear of who might die next, and an overwhelming fear of death itself. Life became a monotonous cycle of merely surviving—going to work, returning home, and isolating —without hope or a sense of a meaningful future.
I tried taking the paths of self-improvement, exercising to knock out the depression, doing more of my hobbies, and self-help, but all felt empty and pointless, offering no real relief. This inner emptiness produced profound loneliness and the belief that I was a burden to others, which led me to withdraw further from friends and family and sever connections.
Ultimately, this emotional shutdown left me unable to feel genuine joy, happiness, or even full grief. Depression became like a barrier of glass between me and life, cutting me off from the highs and lows and leaving me in a state of emptiness, grayness, and occasional bursts of anger. I used to at least feel sad, but it got to the point where I felt nothing. Pure emptiness and sadness with occasional bursts of anger.
The sadness, emptiness and lack of trust in God led me to the point where I said I would not have anything to do with God and the church except God showed ITSELF to me and ended my sufferings.
The overwhelming sadness, emptiness, and profound lack of trust in God drove me to a point of ultimatum: I declared I would abandon all association with God and the church unless God were to reveal ITSELF to me and bring an end to my suffering.
I was also led to question God’s very existence. If God truly is All-Powerful, how could Satan, evil, and the ego dominate my life daily? This contradiction compelled me to challenge God to show ITSELF, if indeed IT existed.
Surprisingly, God showed ITSELF through a “Still Small Voice”, almost immediately declaring an absolute lack of knowledge concerning my suffering or the universal cry of humanity’s sufferings, simply because the realm of God precludes humanity.
This voice also revealed God’s complete ignorance regarding the “lost Soul,” the talking serpent, the mythical tale of Adam and Eve, and the current-day complex problems facing humankind.
The “Still Small Voice” communicated that God exists purely as “PRESENT TENSE”.
As OMNIPRESENCE, this Eternal Nature, or “BEING,” is not involved in creating, conceiving, or producing anything that could give rise to human existence.
Consequently, this Eternal MIND of God knows nothing of the human animal, nor does it discipline or even contain human existence.
I was confused and dismayed when the “Still Small Voice” instructed me not to let my heart be troubled.
The “Still Small Voice” gave me confidence that identifying the error of “Satan,” the fallacy of “evil,” and the non-existence of mental, physical, and emotional health struggles would not result in despair or powerlessness. This understanding invalidates the very concept of the “lost soul” and the doctrine of “sin and death,” thereby eliminating its related concepts: evil, the devil, human gods, creation, and its victims.
The message was clear: I am not being robbed or deprived in any way. It is a fundamental Truth in God’s Eternal Reality that I can neither know nor experience depression, anxiety, trauma or emotional pain and suffering. My experience with mental, physical and emotional pain and suffering meant I was living out of a false self, being and mind.
The “Still Small Voice” asked me to read the whole of Genesis chapter 1 and Genesis 2:1-3.
The “Still Small Voice” said the Whole of existence, everything within the physical universe, Divine Individual God made in IT’s Image and Likeness are completely Spirit. All of which are within the Image and Likeness of God, also known as the Soul, where the Spirit + the Soul functions as ONE SINGLE ETERNAL INDIVIDUAL SELF.
Hence, demonstrating that God is the Substance of All things. Making God the All in All BEING and the ONLY Identifier of Existence, including All, because God is All in All.
Contrary to the mistaken human sense, Existence and life, often mistakenly viewed by humans as an objective creation of matter, are, to Eternal Perception, a form of Reality conceived within and by the OMNIPRESENT MIND.
The “Still Small Voice” conveyed a profound insight: That I was not perceiving myself through the Light of God’s Eternal Nature. Had I been, I would have recognized that the Image and Likeness of God is God’s I-AM-SELF-Identity.
This means God’s I-AM-INDIVIDUAL-SELF-Identity is God, existing as Individually Eternal in the Image and Likeness, which is the Soul. The “Still Small Voice” asserts that God knows nothing more intimately than this Image and Likeness because IT IS IT’S BEING.
The Image and Likeness of God, or the Soul, is God ITSELF, characterized by:
- Eternal Intelligence
- Individual Life
- MIND being Individually and All-inclusively BEING
- Soul’s Total Actio – All-sensible and Eternally Cognizant of:
- Eternal Perfection
- Pure Beauty
- Unrestricted and Undimensional Immensity
- Reality
- The Image and Likeness of God, the Soul being God’s SELF-being
This essence is God’s I-AM, existing NOW and throughout Eternity. God is UNCHANGEABLE and can never be more or less than IT IS.
Consequently, the “Still Small Voice” declared that nowhere in God’s Eternal BEING can God find: sin and death, evil, ego, Satan, duality, a fall from Grace or the demand to rise again, a creation, or a “time” in which atonement is feasible or possible.
After years of torment and trying to “control the mind, heal myself from mental health” the realization that changes everything was the above revelation from the “Still Small Voice.”
The Revelation: The Self You Are Trying to Fix Doesn’t Exist.
“The self you’re trying to fix doesn’t exist… That ‘I’, ‘self’ or ‘being’ going through depression… that’s not you.”
It was revealed to me by the “Still Small Voice” that the “self” I was trying to fix was a fabrication of human illusion.
1. The Ego (The False “Human” Self)
The Ego is described not merely as arrogance, but as the entire “human Project”—a “massive case of mistaken self-identity” where individuals believe they are mortal, flawed creatures.
Origin in Superstitious Beliefs, Theology & Human Assumptions:
The Ego is a false reality and state of mind rooted in superstitious Beliefs, Human Assumptions and theological and religious conditioning, which wrongly teaches that the body is the Image and Likeness of God, the Soul is lost and encased within the body, human are born sinful and separated from God. This “doctrine of the lost soul” creates a void where the Ego and human personality are formed and defined as our “being, self and mind.
A Dualistic Mindset:
Because it is built on the lie of the separation of the Spirit and the Soul, the Ego operates in a “dualistic mindset”. It is the “I,” “self,” and “being” that constantly feels separate from Life and wholeness. The Spirit and the Soul have never been separated, divided, contrary to what theological and religious doctrines teach and have conditioned us to believe.
Now, whose reports do you believe? God’s Eternal Truth, Theological superstitions, beliefs or human assumptions about life, existence and God? Let me know in the comment section
The Source of Suffering:
To live as the Ego is to be trapped in suffering, as suffering is inherently “woven into” the human-self- identity. This false “self” struggles with “hidden fears, depression, anxiety, trauma,” and an addiction to external validation. It is driven by “crazy emotional pain, suffering and meaningless urges” because it approaches and perceives life and self through the lens of a mortal mentality, an offspring of biology, of nerve-irritation which perpetually feels broken, incomplete, and limited.
An Ultimate Illusion:
The most radical Eterna Truth revealed about the Ego is that
“The self you’re trying to fix doesn’t exist”.
Its entire existence and commotion lie within a framework of “fable, fabrication, and falsification”.
It exists only in the realm of a separate, made-up reality based on lies to pretend to function.
The “ego” is the false mind or screen behind which Satan operates as the human mind.
Within this consciousness, Satan clothed itself with superstitious laws and beliefs, sense perception, all of which lack the legitimacy of God’s Eternal Truth.
2. BEING (The True, Eternal SELF)
In stark contrast to the Ego, BEING is defined as the “ETERNAL NATURE OF GOD”. It is the authentic “I-AM-THAT-I-AM” Awareness and the true “Image and Likeness of God”.
Complete and Unified:
The Image and Likeness of God or the Soul is an “ALL-Inclusive” God’s INDIVIDUAL-SELF-Identity that is “Complete, Entire, Universal”.
It functions as a Perfect union in which “Spirit (Male) + Soul (Female) = ‘I-MIND’,” according to Genesis 1:26-27.
Because God’s Eternal BEING cannot be divided, the Spirit and Soul are completely intact and Whole right NOW.
Changeless Perfection:
Unlike the human Ego-self-identity that tries to evolve, heal, or progress, BEING-God’s Eternal-SELF-Identity has “no history of development… no evolution, no progression”. It is the indestructible, inalterable, and incorruptible “Substance of the universe as a Spirit BEING”.
Freedom from Struggle:
Your true and ONLY SELF never struggles with the ego, depression, or an inflated sense of self. Operating in this Eternal SELF-Identity and within “BEING-God’s Eternal Nature” brings the “REST OF GOD as promised in the Book of Hebrews, Inner Peace of MIND and Happiness – which simply means the Presence of God”. IT sees only “Perfection as IT truly IS” and recognizes that the entire universe is held within IT’s Eternal SELF-Awareness.
3. The Resolution: Abandoning the Ego
You cannot solve the problems of the Ego, the multiple problems humanity is facing, by trying to fix it or delving further into the “problem of being human”.
- High achievers exhaust themselves trying to heal this false “self” through therapy, biohacking, and productivity habits, only to find the suffering returns because the “self” they are trying to fix is an illusion.
- Because “The Spirit and the Soul have never been separated, divided contrary to theological claims or become two separate beings,” there is no actual “lost soul” to recover and no departure from Perfection.
Therefore, the ultimate shift from Ego-self-improvement to SELF-Identification with one’s Eternal SELF, BEING, MIND requires recognizing that “There is absolutely no Eternal Truth in humanity’s perception and definition of self and being.”
The solution to human suffering is not more humanity or a better Ego-self, but nohumanity—a complete surrender to God’s ETERNAL MINDSET where only the One Life (God) exists.
Why Self-Help Has Failed You
The reason therapy and self-help often hit a ceiling is that they attempt to repair the “human ego, the fake or pretend-self-identity.” But you cannot repair an illusion. The “human self” is a false reality based on fable and fabrication.
The Solution: The “I-AM-SELF-Identification” And “SELF-Awareness”
True healing, happiness and inner peace of mind come not from optimizing the human “self”, but from recognizing your True ETERNAL SELF.
According to Eternal Intelligence, your true nature is “BEING.” This is the Image and Likeness of God—the Soul.
- The True Self is Changeless: It never fell from grace, never sinned, and never separated from Spirit.
- The True Self is Complete: It is the “I-THAT-I-AM Awareness” where the Soul does not struggle with ego or trauma.
- The True SELF is Eternal: It did not originate from biological birth and cannot be destroyed or corrupted.
How to Move From Optimization to BEING
To stop the cycle of pain and suffering, you MUST STOP identifying with the “human self-identity”, its history and narratives.
You must realize there is no history of development or evolution of God’s Image and Likeness for the Soul—it is already Perfect!
When you stop trying to “solve” the problem of being human and instead stand in the SELF-Identification and Awareness of the “Allness of God,” you find the REST OF GOD, Happiness and the Inner Peace you have been seeking.
This isn’t about more humanity; it is about no humanity. It is about acknowledging that the “I-AM-SELF” is the ONLY Presence, Power, and Reality.
The Takeaway:
You don’t need another productivity hack.
You need to wake up from the dream of being a broken human self, being.
You are, and have always been, the Perfect, Eternal Image and Likeness of God.
