In these profound, newly gathered 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructured 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 Sharon Salzberg, Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield, and Mirabai Bush, as well as guided meditations to deepen each lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs he leads us toward wholeness within our unique selves and 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 our incarnations on the sacred planet we inhabit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this final collection of his teachings, Ram Dass offers a path back to ourselves and each other:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOneness in a Polarized World:\u003c\/b\u003e Go beyond “us vs. them” with Ram Dass’s core teaching of \u003ci\u003esub ek\u003c\/i\u003e (all one), finding unity even in the face of deep division.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrom Head to Heart:\u003c\/b\u003e Learn to move from the fearful, judging mind to the open, intuitive heart, transforming how you see yourself and the “other.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Path of Service:\u003c\/b\u003e Discover how mindful service—karma yoga—can become a profound practice for healing separation and finding joy in compassionate action.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWisdom from Modern Masters:\u003c\/b\u003e Deepen your practice with a foreword by Anne Lamott and new reflections from Sharon Salzberg, Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield, and Mirabai Bush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNewly Gathered Teachings:\u003c\/b\u003e Explore a final collection of profound lectures and writings from one of America’s most beloved spiritual figures, curated as an essential guide for our times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ram Dass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132744056981,"sku":"9780063443044","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/x750_a9dac8b4-a4df-4f02-b015-2ace59ca02ca.jpg?v=1776889812","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780063443044","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
