More than twenty years ago, Cynthia Jurs of Chupadero, New Mexico, traveled up the mountains of Tibet to consult with a 106-year-old monk about what she could do to help heal an ailing world.  She was instructed to plant earth healing vases in hot spots around the world. Months later, the vases had been made in Tibet and delivered to her home in New Mexico where they sat on a shelf for some years while Cynthia tried to think what to do with them. But then she began to plant them in places all around the world from the Antarctic to Thaliand, and finally in Africa, in Liberia. With her on this program are a former Liberian general, Christian Bethelson, and a member of the Liberian group Everyday Gandhis, William Jacobs who lead us through the inspirational burial of the Earth Treasure Vase in a small Liberian village as a healing from the long civil war in that country.

Courtney Martin, author, feminist, blogger and inspiration to other young women, shares her views on what it means to be a professional career woman and a person of spirit and heart at the same time, how she deals with societal expectations of success and her own learnings from failure, or what she calls "the good failure." She has written of the inspirational lives of activists and is widely celebrated for her own secret creative philanthropy, her "secret agents" of giving.

Richard Wilkinson has pulled together facts from around the world to create a compelling case that a whole array of society's ills can be traced to one factor: the extent of the gap between the very richest and the remainder of the community. Teen age pregnancy, obesity, a sense of well being and happiness, drug use, prison enrollment and many more factors all point to the conclusion that the wealth gap is not only associated with these problems but is actually causal. It is no surprise that the United States is second only to Singapore as the worst among developed nations in the way of this wealth gap and has the prison enrollment, obesity and unhappiness levels to prove it.

In the 1st part of this show Craig speaks with Jonathan Schell followed by the 2nd part, which is Craig's commentary titled "Obama Looks Within." Click here for the text of this commentary.

Jonathan Schell, author of The Unconquerable World, traces the remarkable success of non violence toward the end of history's most violent century. How did the Czechs and the Poles unseat the world's most oppressive empire? What does it mean to 'live in truth?' Vaclav Havel and Adam Michnik come alive in this conversation with one of America's most eloquent and compelling voices.

We are usually taught that disease and acculturation either took out, or caused the blending in, of Native Americans, and that the “true” Indians have been “lost.”  Not so, says professor Michael Wilcox of Stanford University’s Anthropology Department in his new book, The Pueblo Revolt. That revolt of 1680, famous to New Mexicans as the most successful revolt by indigenous populations of any in US history, had far more to do with brutality, slavery, and forced extermination of Native religions than with those more neutral causes. Here is the history of the colonization of the West revisited by a scholar who is himself a descendant of Yuma Indians.
