Excerpt from Not-Two Is Peace, by the World-Friend Adi Da: Anthroposphere

from

Anthroposphere (The Natural Zone of Necessary Human Responsibility) A First Word About the Unified Global Ecology of the Necessary New Mode of Human Civilization

The terrible problems that are occurring politically and naturally in the world today are the result of pattern-driven human unconsciousness. Human beings are continuing mechanically, trying to repeat modes of effort, even modes of thinking, that were workable — up to a point — in the past, but that are no longer workable now. A new kind of human consciousness is required — based on the working-presumption of prior unity, and on an understanding of the indivisibly single world in which everyone is living. This involves not only the notion that there is such a single world, but it requires grasping the necessity for cooperation, and the necessity to function on the basis of an understanding that the Earth is a single system, and humankind (likewise) is a single whole. Humankind must not be forced to function under some kind of totalitarian singleness. Rather, humankind must function cooperatively — in the sense that everyone is living together on Earth, and functioning through a mechanism of global principles that are benign and right and true.

Not-Two Is Peace is about the new "method" that must be brought to the already existing new global situation. That is the situation to which I have given utterance. The current situation is the result of human unconsciousness, of trying to function automatically on the basis of methods and patterns which applied in the past, but which no longer apply in the present. If the "old" methods are brought to bear in the current situation, they create chaos — human disorder and suffering, as well as chaos in the natural domain.

There is undeniable and inescapable proof in the every day of "daily news" that human beings are everywhere carrying on their activities in a manner that is not productive, and not workable. Humankind must, itself (and as a whole), become truly and rightly globalized. There must be the establishment of principles which serve the potential well-being of humankind as a whole, and which ensure that the Earth-domain itself is able to function soundly. Thus, a different "method" of human relatedness is required: the non-"tribal", or non-fragmented, "method", in which the working-presumption is prior unity.
