Transforming our world
by: Mara Burger

Hi Selina,
I commend you! Count me in I will join your organisation anyday. I share the following story. "You may have heard of the "hundredth-monkey syndrome". In Japan, in 1952, scientists were stydying the behavior of wild monkeys. The principle food of these monkeys was sweet potatoes. One day, they noticed one monkey do something they had never seen before - she washed her potato before she ate it. She repeated this behavior on subsequent days,and soon they noticed several other monkeys washing their potatoes before eating them. More and more monkeys began to do this. Then, in 1958, after all the monkeys on the island were exhibiting this new behavior, scientists on nearby islands began to report that monkeys on their islands were also beginning to wash their potatoes. There was no physical connection between the islands, and no one had transported any monkeys from one island to another.
This study illustrates something of overwhelmingly powerful importance for the human race and for our planet. Washing potatoes was a new level of evolution for these monkeys, and when enough of them had accepted it, it was apparently transferred to the monkeys on surrounding islands without any physical contact or direct communication.
This is how the evolution of consciousness takes place. Every individual's consciousness is connected to, and is part of, the mass consciousness. When a small but significant number of individuals have moved into a new level of awareness and significantly changed their behavior, that change is felt in the direction of that change. And the whole thing may have started with one individual who first made that leap." From the the book "Living in the Light" by Shakti Gawain
You are that individual Selina. Thanks for taking the leap.
