Graphic and composite by New Dimensions

Why do we feel good when we’re helping other people? Mark Nepo reminds us it’s not by accident that kindness and kinship share the same root, saying, “One of the rewards for kindness is not just that you will think well of me or that we will develop a better relationship. The act of kindness allows us to experience oneness. The act of kindness allows us to experience the connection with all things… Kindness leads to kinship.” Within these four programs specially selected from the New Dimensions program archive you’ll find tools and reminders that will bring the quality of cooperation and loving kindness into your life to tap into the grace that carries us.

Shlain wonders, “Is the present arrangement of our brains an adaptation that is no longer advantageous to us? Is the extreme cruelty, the aggression that our split brains gave us now making us a creature that is endangering ourselves and all the others?” He suggests the hopeful notion we may be about to shift into something much, much better.  Read more »
