This Sunday at First Unity,
Temple (that the minister's
name, really) spoke about
"The 100th Monkey" phenomenon.

For those who are not familiar
with this (and there are many
versions - but all with the
same core message), the story
goes like this:

Scientists studying the behavior
of chimpanzee's on a couple
of small islands off Japan
would toss sweet potatoes on
the sand to attract the monkeys
(some stories say that the
sweet potatoes were part of
their regular diet), so they
could watch their behavior -
study their culture.

One day, one of the monkeys
dropped her sweet potato in
the water, and liking the
sand-free taste, taught others
to wash their sweet potatoes.

At the point that the 100th
monkey washed the sweet potato,
the entire culture went through
a behavioral transformation, and
washing sand off the sweet potato
became standard practice...

not only on the island where
it began, but on the other
islands as well.

So, its about a paradigm shift
in consciousness - when an
awakening reaches critical mass,
the shift occurs culture-wide.

Chris Fenwick, author of the
best-selling book, "The 100th Human"
took this story of the 100th
monkey to a human level. Her
fictional book is about the
coming transformation in
global consciousness that
enlightened teachers and
awakened masters have been
speaking about for centuries
(or more).

Chris is one of the featured
speakers at The Enlightened
Healers Symposium coming to
St. Petersburg at First Unity
Campus in October.
