- “We
- are
- all
- connected
- on
- a
- neurobiological
- level
- far
- more
- than
- we
- have
- previously
- realized.
- Consciously
- or
- not,
- we
- are
- in
- constant,
- natural
- resonance
- with
- one
- another’s
- feelings.
- When
- we
- are
- engaged
- in
- shared
- mind
- awareness,
- the
- possibilities
- for
- mutual
- aid
- and
- collaborative
- problem
- solving
- abound.”
