Not-Two Is Peace
Introducing "Not-Two Is Peace: The Ordinary People's Way of Global Cooperative Order, by the World-Friend, Adi Da. (Read the entire book online at www.Da-Peace.com.) In this book, Adi Da invites everyone to consider his urgent calling for the founding of a Global Cooperative Forum to address the profound ills of today's world, and to re-establish human civilization based on principles of mutual trust, cooperation, tolerance, prior unity, and the limitless participation of all of humankind in transforming its own destiny. |

Adi Da's term "prior unity" points to the unity that exists prior to all the apparent differences and conflicts in the world. That unity, in other words, is senior to all apparent signs of disunity. Adi Da also calls this the "unifying life-principle" and the "cosmically extended pattern of Oneness". In this gem of instruction we find Adi Da asking all of mankind to do something completely different, as a whole. He writes in this book: "It is a matter of the greatest present-time urgency that the prevailing global mood of political separatism, end-game competitiveness, and endlessly multiplied divisiveness be immediately and thoroughly and universally and permanently relinquished such that the entire world-population of humankind becomes universally intelligent with the heart-positive mind of cooperation and tolerance." Ervin Laszlo, scientist, philosopher and President of the Club of Budapest, has written the introduction to this book. In addition, there are endorsements from Professor Ashok Gangadean of Haverford College and the Global Dialogue Institute, Patricia Gagic of the Colours of Freedom Foundation, Hilde Rapp of the Centre for International Peacebuilding in London, Rolf C. Carriere, former U.N. official and Senior Adviser to the Nonviolent Peaceforce and Professor Jonathan Lynch of Penn State University and many others. | |
