There is a particular story that I am very fond of and would like to share. This is the story of the Hundredth Monkey:
“The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, has been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years. In 1952, on the island of Koshima scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant. An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers, too.
This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958, all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes. Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes — the exact number is not known.
Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.
THEN IT HAPPENED!
By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them. The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough! But notice. A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea-Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes!” ~ Lifetide by Lyall Watson, pp. 147-148. Bantam Books 1980.
The reason I love this experiment so much is that there is a certain critical number before everyone will achieve an awareness, this new awareness is basically communicated from mind to mind. This of course very much related to the morphogenetic clouds as well.
SO in short, this means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the consciousness property of these people. But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, and the field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!
Make sure, in your daily dealings with others, you remember this. Be nice and understanding to all and everyone and place your judgements aside, as the “one” person that you come in contact with maybe the one that is going to awaken everyone to “understanding” and “kindness”. “one” smile, “one” hug, “one” kind word may do the trick.
In Love & Light,
