"The Hundredth Monkey"

Let us tell you the story...
Many years ago, on the island of Koshima, scientists
spent 30 years observing the Japanese monkey, Macaca
fuscata. The monkeys’ favorite food was sweet potatoes
which they would dig out of the sand. One day, in 1952
they noticed Imo, a young female, washing her sweet
potato in a stream to remove the unpleasant gritty sand.
Several months later, they noticed that her mother had
also learned this trick and then, later on, so did her playmates.
Then, more and more monkeys picked up this
behavior and finally by 1958 all of the young monkeys on
the island, estimated at 99, were washing their sweet
potatoes in the stream.
The next monkey to become aware of this trick, was
the 100th monkey. When he started to wash his sweet
potato, an amazing thing happened ……….....

Across the sea, many miles away, colonies of
monkeys on other islands started to wash their sweet
potatoes without ever having seen it done before…How
could this be?
Let us say, that if a limited number of beings have a
certain consciousness and keep it only to themselves,
not much change will occur. But if more and more individuals
continue to tune into this awareness, there will be
a point at which all that is needed is only one more being
to reach that critical number which will strengthen the
field of energy and send it out to the universe! This
awareness will then be picked up by almost everyone
and a social change will occur!

For us at Animal Nation, The Hundredth Monkey
holds the promise of hope. We are all connected and at
any one point, one of us will be the 100th and then suddenly
we will be there!
