Here begins the third higher truth: the truth of the path to the end of pain. Let's take a glance at the way the universe itself is organized, and look for clues on how to stop the Great Mistake, the cause of all pain.

Everything we see around us is either at work or at rest. Things that work, or do something, change thereby. A few things, like the empty space or place that things stand in, never change.

We ourselves are ever-changing, a combination of physical elements like chemicals and conscious components such as our mind and powers of sense.

It's important to grasp that our perceptions of all things, whether they themselves are constant or in flux, are coming from the seeds in our minds. Then we can relate to the universe wisely. We can either blindly consume what our past seeds provide us, or embrace the bold endeavor of planting new seeds for a perfect world of freedom.
