So I was on my flight back to Los Angeles from Chicago's O'Hare airport, and I found myself sitting next to a woman who knows an awful lot about all the energy focusing, Chakras, "parapsychological phenomenon" stuff, all that jazz...basically all the stuff I believe in. She agreed with me that the main downfall of many of the groups that utilize these forces is that they have too many rules, and that the problem with rules is that they don't work for everybody. I also discovered that many of the things I had been doing instinctually were actually the "proper" ways of doing something. I shielded myself from what turned out to be Her connection to me by visualizing a closing door in my mind, and that turns out to be the preferred method of blocking. I also shield myself in the preferred method, although I never knew it or did it consciously. It just seemed like it would work, and it did.
Anyways, she started talking to me about The Hundredth Monkey phonomenon, and it's impact on humanity. She said that there is a rumor going around that humanity is fast approaching The Hundredth Monkey marker with this focusing of energy in individuals like myself, TGM, ABA, A_open_fire_, and others. From what she said, more and more people with our natual power are popping up all over the globe. What she said next shocked the hell out of me. "You are likely on the cutting edge of the Age of Aquarius."
Anyways, I did a teensy bit of digging (a google search) on The Hundredth Monkey, and discovered that the book on it is not copyrighted material, and found a good exerpt, so here it is, with a link to the entire text:

The Hundredth Monkey
by Ken Keyes, jr.
The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.
In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.
An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.
This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists.
Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable.
Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.
Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number is not known.
Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes.
Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.
THEN IT HAPPENED!
By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them.
The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!
But notice.
A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea --
Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes.
Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.
Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people.
But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!

What this means for humanity, then, is that as we approach this marker, we approach the next great collosal change in humankind.
Most people live a full measure of life, and most people watch it slowly drip away. But if you can summon it all up, in one place, at one time, you can accomplish something....wonderful.
