There Is No Other : The Way to Harmony and Wholeness

An essential balm for these tumultuous times, this thoughtful and inspiring guide features never-before-published teachings to abandon the idea there is an ?other,? bridging differences and cherishing the beautiful Earth that is our home, from beloved spiritual leader Ram Dass.

With the world seeming to teeter between democracy and authoritarianism, between humanitarianism and individualism, Ram Dass?s teachings on wholeness and unity are more needed than ever.

There Is No Other is a groundbreaking work showcasing the late spiritual leader?s thoughts and insights on broaching the divide and bringing disparate souls together. In these profound, never-before-released writings, Ram Dass shows us how a house divided against itself?whether that ?house? is our individual self or the society in which we live?can come together in wholeness. There is no ?other,? he explains. It is all one.

Structured in three sections, There Is No Other teaches us to open ourselves, come together in community, and love one another?and ourselves?across all our seeming contradictions and divisions. Anne Lamott contributes a beautiful foreword and each section is followed by a short essay reflecting on the endurance of Ram Dass?s ideas penned by Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield, and Sharon Salzberg, as well as guided meditations to deepen each lesson.

As he leads us toward wholeness not within our unique selves but as a human community, Ram Dass gives us the most precious gift: hope. Only in seeing ourselves in our complexity can we come together and honor the sacred planet we inhabit.
