125  Not-Two Is Peace
- The Vision of World-Friend Adi Da on The Ordinary People’s Way of Global Cooperative Order

Civilization is in crisis. The human world altogether is in crisis. The notions of security, longevity, freedom from need, and enjoyment of life are showing themselves to be illusions—very tentative, and able to be enjoyed by only a relative few. And the relative few who enjoy such life-conditions do so at the expense of others—and, in fact, on the basis of the suffering and exploitation of others.
Something new must emerge. That something new is not going to emerge from the pattern of nation-states, or even from the gathering of nation-states (in the form of the United Nations). That something new can only emerge from everybody-all-at-once—the power of humankind as a totality.
—The World-Friend, Adi Da

The recent publication of the third edition of Not-Two Is Peace is, truly, an epochal event in world-history. The World-Friend, Adi Da, completed this text on the day he passed from the body (November 27, 2008) and it encapsulates his compassionate instruction to humankind as a whole.

Course Description

In this five-week online study-course, we will examine Adi Da’s vital wisdom on the root of human conflict: the limits and errors of conventional religion and politics. Concurrently, we will consider his recommendation that human civilization be re-established based on principles of mutual trust, cooperation, tolerance, “prior unity”, and the limitless participation of all humankind in transforming its own destiny.

Our consideration will also include Adi Da’s “radical” argument for transcending egoity, along with his urgent call to found the Global Cooperative Forum—a new type of human order, one that will allow humankind to become conscious of itself as one coherent force—the only force capable of requiring and implementing the systemic changes the world needs.

Through study and “consideration” of Adi Da’s essays and with the aid of media selections and website links from various sources, we will further examine forms of participation available that can facilitate effective global change.
