Prior Unity


 
Prior Unity

Prior unity is not a union of many. Prior unity is an intrinsic unity in which there is no separateness, no "difference", no otherness, no opposition, no duality. It is one.

The working-presumption of prior unity can, therefore, address anything -- and self-organize it, straighten it, make it right, and just get on with it.

"Not-two" is peace. "Not-two" is prior unity. Conversely, "two" is separateness, prior disunity, "difference", otherness, competetiveness, opposition, confrontation, chaos, and war.

Prior unity is always already the case, and the old is now finished. If it is understood that what was is finished, great clarity can awaken.

Prior unity then can be the basis for the establishing of an entirely new mode of human civilization, the human civilization not of "tribes", but of the human totality.

A Global Cooperative Forum representing humankind as a whole would operate based on the principle of "prior unity" -- meaning an acknowledgement of the fundamental unity of humanity and of all existence.

Prior unity, and the need to implement prior unity via a Global Cooperative Forum, must be presented as tacitly, self-evidently heart-true, and everyone's participation is to be invited on that basis.

The human family would be represented at a Global Cooperative Forum by morally-enlightened leaders capable of moving the world population into a separatism-transcending view, and, thus, into modes of cooperation.

On the basis of the working-presumption of prior unity, such a Global Cooperative Forum would deal with all the urgent issues that humankind has in common.
