A woman no name could bind. A story of freedom before the world was split.
After thirty years in prison for killing his mother, Adam Virinski walks free and begins the story he has owed the world all his life.
He writes about Sata, his twin sister: brilliant, wounded, and reckless. Her presence reveals what people worship. Her search for freedom breaks open the family that tried to protect her. Her ancient name, Shatarupa, belongs to the first woman of Hindu legend. Adam's name carries another first. Between them runs the oldest human mistake: the belief that life can be separated into one thing and another.
Without Opposite is nonduality through story. Philosophy takes on a body. It enters fathers and daughters, lovers and rivals, crime and remorse. Freud listens at the family door.
Through Sata's life, the opposites that rule us begin to tremble. Guilty or innocent? Free or trapped? Self or other? Then the story turns toward the peace that was waiting before the mind divided the world.
Awakening belongs to no single tradition, language, or path. Without Opposite reveals it where it is easiest to miss: in the life already being lived.
A philosophical adventure for readers who want ideas to risk something.
The conclusion is one you won't see coming at all. Without giving anything away, I'll let you read the book and enjoy it as much as I did, learning a ton in the process.-Adanna Ora, Readers' FavoriteAlso in
