What is the 100th monkey? How can that be you? ?:|

One story relates that scientists were studying a group of monkeys on the Japanese island of Koshima in 1952 when they observed that some of these monkeys learned to wash sweet potatoes before eating them. Gradually this new behavior spread through the younger generation of monkeys. Researchers observed that once a critical number of monkeys was reached—the so-called 'hundredth monkey'—this learned behavior instantly spread across the water to monkeys on nearby islands.

The important concept here is that once a critical mass is reached (i.e. the 100th monkey), ideas, attitudes, behaviors are changed exponentially, change increasing by extraordinary proportions.

My intention with all of this is to encourage you to be aware of how you can make a difference in your world, in our global world by what you think, say, feel and do.

As you observe unfortunate incidents happening all over the world and unfortunately just last week in the United States, it is obvious that if each person took particular care with what he or she thinks, says, feels and does, we would be living in a safer more peaceful, harmonious and friendly world.

May I suggest that you remind yourself every now and then that you too can aspire to be the 100th monkey. You may never know exactly what difference you have made, but you can be assured that your intention to be the 100th monkey will have contributed to the gift of global harmony that we all so desperately need and desire.

You CAN be the 100th money! ;)
How can you inspire others to be the 100th monkey?

Dear Rijuta,

You have once again so beautifully shared an age-old story pointing out that EACH OF US can be the '100th monkey'....the ONE who can bring great change to our world.

Each of us can, through what we think, say, feel and do, make a difference in another's life...and in our our own being as well. The important thing is that we think, say, feel and do in the flow of love, respect and integrity.

In Gratitude for you and the great changes you make...:-x

Rijuta,

What a beautiful message tying science to kindness, goodwill and harmony. And what fun it can be for all of us to live each moment with the belief that we may each be that 100th monkey:)
