This book is an essential primer to World-Friend Adi Da’s wisdom on peace and true human culture. Prior Unity includes carefully chosen excerpts from Not-Two Is Peace and other published texts, as well as Spoken Instructions that span many years of World-Friend Adi Da’s lifetime.

What this book is saying is that the impulse to peaceful, cooperative co-existence is humanity’s “true north”. This impulse comes from our root-intelligence as one single species, and, at the same time, reflects the inherent unity of all life. We cannot escape the implications.

To satisfy what human beings truly want and to ensure a benign future for life on Earth, we have no choice but to transcend what separates us and to build on the deep foundation that we all share, which is our prior, or already-existing, unity….

This is not a book about politics as we know it. It is about uncovering the true basis for a new politics, a new social contract that is founded in, and expressive of, how things really are.

—from the introduction, by Carolyn Lee

A global transformation is now required in human culture—after the devastation, or collapse, of ego-civilization in the twentieth century. Something entirely new is required—something comprehensively right….What is required is not a search for unity. Rather, what is required is the enacting of the power of prior unity.

—WORLD-FRIEND ADI DA

“If humankind is going to make it to the other end of this century, it will only be by recourse to great Wisdom-Action, as presented in Prior Unity. And only together, as Earth-World all together—as one, not two. Profounder Wisdom is not available anywhere—nor more radical action. Drink from this source—deeply, from its infinite depth.”

—ROLF C. CARRIERE former U.N. official; senior advisor to Nonviolent Peaceforce

“Every human being who reads Prior Unity will re-awaken to the truth that we are not separate individuals, nations and races, but members of one global family that arises and exists as an egoless prior unity. Read this book—and take responsibility, with all seven billion, for the earth and all of humanity as a single system.”
