Carl Jung's notion of collective consciousness is wonderfully demonstrated by a story involving Macaque monkeys on a Japanese island set in the late 1950s.  I believe it is a very important story to have in our repertoire to demonstrate the idea of non physical connection, and I hope upon reading it you will agree and share its message as I do.

## Holographic reality

We live in a kind of Holographic Reality where one small change in the hologram creates a ripple which affects the whole.  It has been given many different names over the years by scientists, quantum physicists and spiritual leaders and the words 'we are all connected' are spoken more and more these days... but in reality it's a tough one to prove.

## 9/11 & The Global Consciousness Project (GCP)
Before I tell you the story of the monkeys I want first to look at a more recent experiment in which our collective mind can be seen at work.

The GCP set up 65 random number generators (RNGs) and positioned them around the world.  RNGs are basically designed to endlessly flip a coin, creating heads or tails, odd or even, constantly spewing data which should have no pattern to it.

For many years the machines did exactly what they were designed to do and the data was consistently random.  But then a few days before 9/11 it was observed that the data recorded around the world had patterns to it which could no longer be seen as statistically random.  Of course, they had no idea at the time what this meant and it wasn't until after the horrific events of that day, the connection was made.

## The human mind is a powerful tool
capable of creating order out of chaos.

When news of what was happening that day spread around the world our collective mind became focused on the same event and there was a corresponding change to our holographic reality.  Recorded in time by these RNGs.  What was interesting was the way in which the data became more ordered days before the event and increasingly less & less random as more and more people focused on it.  When the event started to fade from our consciousness the data became random again.

## What does this tell us?
Personally I see proof of massive intention and deceptive involvement behind 9/11 but more importantly I see the power of our collective consciousness.  And this gives me hope!

## The 100th Monkey Effect

The term was coined by biologist Lyall Watson in his 1980 book 'Lifetide' in which he reported on a group of Japanese primatologists studying Macaques monkeys in the wild in the 1950s who had stumbled upon a surprising phenomenon.

In 1952 these primatologists started dropping sweet potatoes onto the sandy beaches for the monkeys to eat.  A few years later an 18 month old female named Imo found that if she washed the the sweet potato before eating it, the experience was more pleasant.  She taught this trick to her mother and then to her playmates, who in turn shared the knowledge with their mothers... and so it spread. 

![barbary-ape-2778909_1920.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcFJANscmj9P65uS1rfegR7AcsCZ9kdybiWWHWAS5KWCK/barbary-ape-2778909_1920.jpg)

By 1958 almost all the young monkeys had learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable.

Only some of the adults imitated their children while most kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes, as was their habit of old.

## Then something startling took place
The term 100th monkey comes from the idea that a critical mass was achieved at the moment one more monkey learned the trick.  The moment prior to this, 99 monkeys knew the trick, but upon the 100th monkey discovering it, everyone discovered it.

When critical mass was achieved, suddenly the entire tribe of monkeys began washing their potatoes.  

#### And this is where the story gets really interesting...

At the same moment, colonies of monkeys everywhere else in Japan also began washing their sweet potatoes!

They just instantly knew what to do.

It should be noted that the new behaviour pattern spread to most, but not all of the monkeys. Older monkeys in particular, remained steadfast in their established behaviour patterns and resisted the change.

Sound familiar?

## In Conclusion

When a certain critical number of sentient beings gain awareness of something, this new awareness can be communicated from mind to mind as if they were all connected by a single mind, or mass consciousness.

What we learn from the 100th monkey effect is that we are building now toward a point in time when enough of us are awake to certain realities that the awareness of it will suddenly spread out around the world to all those who are receptive to it.  

## And that my friends is a very exciting thought for me 🎉

## The Bali Volcano Crisis

If you have a moment please check out the @charitysteemit account where you will find up-to-date films, photos and information on the erupting volcano & evacuee status.

Mount Agung erupted a 2nd time with force on the 25th November, sending an ash cloud 1,500m into the sky and we will be watching it closely over the next few weeks.

This is what it currently looks like.
![snap (8).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdYfB4jzGcoWqwzLFHoK1ta915gAwF4xcgPuXvyyugRc5/snap%20(8).jpg)

Those of us in Bali are working hard to raise money to buy the evacuees solar power & water filters [LEARN MORE HERE](https://steemit.com/news/@samstonehill/bali-needs-steemit-s-help-refugee-camps-are-growing-in-size-with-insufficient-funding) and we deeply appreciate any help we can get.
