The 100th Monkey Effect: Can A Few Magically Influence The Whole?
by Awakening People
There is a story, myth or fact, about a population of Japanese monkeys that learned to wash their sweet potatoes, one by one, teaching each other as they were observed by scientists who recorded the results.
On the day when observers expected to count, perhaps, only a 100 monkeys washing their potatoes, they observed many hundreds or thousands – the entire population was practicing the new behavior although only a small percentage had learned it.
Not long after, observers witnessed the same species on neighboring islands washing their potatoes as well, though no one had taught them this new skill. The One Hundredth Monkey Effect has been controversial since it was first written about, because it suggested that a relatively small group can almost magically influence the whole. This is an insult to the ego of the average human being, which completely distrusts the idea of a unified consciousness, and continues to be skeptical about magical interpretations.Nevertheless, in the decades since this story was first told, quantum physics has inched mankind's awareness closer to a plausible explanation that more humans are willing to believe than ever before.
The skeptic might stand behind science, demanding double blind studies with recorded data as proof. The believer knows that the Source of all creation is Universal Consciousness… also known as God, the One who created all the cells, DNA, and electricity, whether or not we understand the math behind it.
