About the talk — This enlightening talk by Dr. Hugh O'Doherty will highlight some of the main principles described by world teacher Adi Da Samraj in His book, Not-Two Is Peace. A new paradigm will be described which will be required if we are to save the Earth from destruction. This will be achieved through the creation of a "Global Cooperative Forum" in which all of the people of the earth (in Adi Da's words, "everybody-all-at-once") are enabled to embrace an absolutely necessary paradigm shift from competition and conflict to living as an "egoless collective".
