A few decades ago scientists who were studying macaques on the Japanese islands, discovered that many monkeys ignored the fruits that washed ashore on the beach. After all they were covered in sand. However, there was one female that did know what she had to do with them. She picked the fruits up, walked over to a well, washed them and ate them. It didn't take long before other, especially younger macaques, 'aped' this behaviour, and also enjoyed these sweets. This group slowly expanded further, until apparently a switch took place in the consciousness of the group, and from one day to the next all monkeys started washing their fruits. And not only on their island, but also on the surrounding islands. Even though these monkey colonies were not in contact with each other. 

We humans are with our individual consciousness also in contact with this collective consciousness. And not only our knowledge is part of this 'field', also all our thoughts and intentions are incorporated in it. It determines who we are, as a species, and what our world looks like. When an individual has a new idea, then from that moment on it's part of the collective consciousness, and it's easier for others to have the same idea.

The reality you experience is a result of a consensus in the collective consciousness of humanity. You and everyone around you has been conditioned to believe and perceive along certain lines. You have been programmed to be self-limiting. But you still retain the ability to reprogram yourself and the reality you see before you.

Every experience that you have is added to the pool and is shared by every other human on a deep and unconscious level. There is in actuality no completely private thought or experience that you can have that won’t also have an impact, however imperceptibly on humanity as a whole.

It can no longer be argued that there is not a concerted effort by certain interests to control your perception of reality. From the time you enter this life you are bombarded with indoctrination from all sides that the world is certain way and that you are small and powerless. This view is relentlessly reinforced by every facet of society. Starting with your parents and continuing through every perceived authority you will encounter.

Everything is connected. We are one and many. Perception is reality and we have to help our fellows to realize their power to manifest a better world.

The story of our name. - The Hundredth Monkey Effect Sometime around the mid 1950's on the island of Koshima, Japan, scientists provided monkeys with sweet potatoes which they dropped on the sand. The monkeys adored the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, however they did find the dirt most unpleasant. One of the younger monkeys discovered she could solve the problem of the sand by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream, she went on to teach this technique to her mother as well as her fellow playmates who each went on to teach this potato washing skill to their mothers and playmates. With this new cultural innovation, many more monkeys gradually picked up this way of removing the gritty sand from the sweet potatoes right before the eyes of the scientists which was observing the behaviour of the monkeys. Over a period of time all the young monkeys recognised this to be the normal process when eating the sweet potatoes and making them much more palatable, however many of the older monkeys kept to the dirty sandy eating of the sweet potatoes and more and more of the young children monkeys embraced this style. Then something startling began to unfold before the eyes of the scientists, the hundredth monkey learnt this potato washing technique and by that evening almost every monkey in the troop was now washing the sweet potatoes before eating them. Mysteriously with the added energy of this hundredth monkey it had now somehow created an ideological breakthrough! what were also surprising to the scientists was that the habit had now jumped over the sea, troops of monkeys on the other islands and on the mainland was now also washing their sweet potatoes. “Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this newly found awareness starts to grow expodentially. The Hundredth Monkey Effect Phenomenon simply means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of those people, however if only one more person discovers this new awareness, a field is strengthened and then the next person is made aware and eventually critical mass is achieved and this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!

Hundredth monkey effect

The hundredth monkey effect is a studied phenomenon in which a new behavior or idea is claimed to spread rapidly by unexplained means from one group to all related groups once a critical number of members of one group exhibit the new behavior or acknowledge the new idea. The theory behind this phenomenon originated with Lawrence Blair and Lyall Watson in the mid-to-late 1970s, who claimed that it was the observation of Japanese scientists. One of the primary factors in the promulgation of the story is that many authors quote secondary, tertiary or post-tertiary sources who have themselves misrepresented the original observations.
