That all is essentially God or Divine is taught by the Advaita Vedanta philosophy expounded by Adi Shankaracharya.

Here it should be understood that a mere intellectual appreciation of the theory of Advaita is not enough. Spiritual evolution takes place only when a corresponding change in the subjective life is accomplished through proper philosophical study, contemplation and meditation. The company of an enlightened master greatly helps in this regard.

Otherwise it can easily lead to egotistic tendencies and delusion as well.

The Advaita Vedanta philosophy has a high degree of complexity which makes it very hard to comprehend, but when it is comprehended properly, it can be a source of tremondous bliss, joy and peace.

One comes to understand that behind all the varied multiplicity that one perceives in this world, there is actually only one singular unity pervading it, call it God, infinite consciousness, love,truth...

Complete spiritual development does not happen en masse. It is an individual journey which results in enlightenment at the end. The duration varies for all.

I would say, appreciation of the teaching of karma, that one reaps as one sows, could help to get rid of all the negativities mentioned.
