Annotations (taken from the book Not-Two Is Peace)

Everybody-All-At-Once - A phrase coined by Adi Da indicating the “all-at-once” collective of humanity, which is not a collection of separate individuals, but the force of humankind as a collective whole, based in the fundamental presumption and truth of prior unity.

Tribalism – Adi Da uses the term “tribal” and “tribalism” to refer to the ego in its collective form.

Prior Unity – Adi Da’s term “prior unity” points to the unity that exists prior to all the apparent differences and conflicts in the world. That unity, in other words, is senior to all apparent signs of disunity. Adi Da also calls this the “unifying life-principle” and the “cosmically extended pattern of Oneness.” In the phrase “prior unity” Adi Da uses the word “prior” in the sense of “a priori”, or "inherent” (not in the sense of “previous”)

“Zero Point” – With the term “zero point” Adi Da is describing the “place” (or reality) that is prior to the root-gesture of separation. Thus, “zero-point” is synonymous with “egolessness”. The quotation marks indicate that its meaning is limited to the specific definition described here.
