The answer to what ails the world exists within you and me – within each and every one of us.
‘This reads like an academic paper’ – was the feedback. ‘It lacks a compelling story that readers can relate to, be moved by.’
I responded, ‘Libraries and bookstores are full of beautiful stories, inspiring stories.’ Then added, ‘Have these stories written throughout human history moved us to be kinder, more understanding, using wisdom and common sense?’
This essay does lack a beautiful story. But it diagnoses what ails humanity and unerringly points to where the cure exists. A cure that is already within you, me, and every human being.
SOME OUTCOMES OF WHAT AILS THE WORLD?
As you read this, thirty blood and guts-soaked wars are occurring worldwide*.
Ukraine and Gaza are only the two most prominent, vile, insane and inhumane examples.
You will agree that humanity has advanced scientifically and technologically beyond belief.
And yet we remain psychologically, philosophically, spiritual cave dwellers beyond comprehension.
The proof is evident worldwide: The homeless, starving, malnourished, and the flood, fire and drought ravished.
We (you and I) must address these inhumane conditions quickly, carefully and sustainably. All the natural resources and accumulated wealth to do so exist.
To the answer …
CREATING PEACE, NOT WAR – LOVE, NOT HATE – SUCCESS, NOT FAILURE
All of us are familiar with ‘thinking’.
We do it all the time. For most, unthinkingly.
Too few are, at this time in our evolution, intimately familiar with ‘Thought’ (with a capital T to differentiate it from its form - our moment-to-moment thinking).
Thought is the energy source of all human thinking, feelings, and actions.
A self-realised understanding of Thought holds the answers humanity seeks.
With such insight, we become part of the solution rather than being part of the problem.

DEFINING THE ANSWER
Our understanding of Thought and the power in its manifestations – our moment-to-moment thinking, feelings, and behaviour – answers why war or peace, love or hate, success or failure and every aspect of human behaviour that we classify as good, bad, or indifferent exists.
This piece provides the answers to the following questions and, more importantly, points to our innate Realm of Possibility, where those answers become our personally discovered reality:
1) What is Thought?
2) Where does it exist?
3) How does Thought manifest in our mind as our thinking and as a uniquely personal and separate reality?
4) Where do you, I and every human being walking the planet – directly experience the essence of Thought?
5) What are the benefits to us individually and humanity as a whole in you and I having a direct experience of and, therefore, coming to understand Thought?
6) As a first step towards the yet-to-be-seen, are there benefits in understanding Thought intellectually (as offered in this essay)?
