1. When Strangers Access Shared Consciousness

   A human identity that we are individually separate from one another fosters fear, competition, dissonance, aggression and more -- a fight for survival. Aterah Nusrat suggests that human identity may be evolving “to a shared sense of self that is not separate from the planet, the cosmos, and even more essentially, the Divine, or Consciousness, as the ground of our existence.” This potential is...

2. What's Rare About This Lab That's Searching for New Medicines

   When Kelly Chibale left North America to take a job in Africa, a well-meaning mentor asked him if he was sure he'd want to leave the world-class facilities and research opportunities that he had access to in the western world.

4. How Deciding to Donate a Kidney Saved My Own Life

   Jessica Lahey set out to donate a kidney to a stranger -- moved by a college student's videos documenting his grueling dialysis routine and the 90,000 people waiting for transplants.

   When wildlife rehabilitator Mats Janzon found a starving, motherless otter pup curled in the grass near his Swedish home, he faced an uncertain journey of raising a wild animal he'd never cared for before.

9. How the Netherlands Bent Bureaucracy Into Something Beautiful

   A widow with mounting debts and two daughters who needed him saw more than 20 social workers, each following procedure perfectly-each concluding he must sell his car to qualify for relief, even though keeping it would save the government thousands in taxi costs and spare his children psychological harm.
