Every individual's consciousness is connected to,
and is a 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 entire mass consciousness.
Every other individual is then moved
in the direction of that change.

And the whole thing may have started
with one individual who first made the leap.
So often we look at the world around us and feel terribly helpless to effect any significant positive change.

So often we look at the world around us and feel terribly helpless to effect any significant positive change.
The world seems so big, and in such a mess,
and we feel so small
and powerless.
The hundredth-monkey story helps us to see how powerful one individual or a few individuals can be in transforming the world.
Because the world
truly is our mirror,
as we change, it must change.
You can see this easily
in your personal life.
As you develop
the habit of trusting
and taking care of yourself,
you will gradually release
your old patterns.
Soon, you notice that your friends,
family, and business associates
all seem to be feeling and acting
differently as well.
People you encounter seem to be dealing
with less serious problems
(or if their problems are serious, they are more quickly healed)
and more creative issues.
Things that previously frightened and upset you
seem to have lost their emotional "charge."
Even the serious problems of the world,
while they still concern you,
may not seem quite as scary as before.
The reason for this shift is that you are beginning
to feel the power of the universe inside of you.
To the degree that you experience
the presence of the universe in your own body,
you don't feel afraid.

To the degree that you experience

you don't feel afraid.
Of course, every time you open up to more power,
more of the old fear gets flushed to the surface and released,
so in the healing process you will experience alternating states
of power and fear.
Gradually, however, a solid base of trust
will be established within you.
Others will feel this and in it will find the support
to open up to more of their own power and truth.
The people and things around you reflect you
in increasingly positive ways.
The more light you allow within you,
the brighter the world you live in will be.
