Are you familiar with the term “collective consciousness?” It’s the idea that we, as a group share a field of thought and belief that influences what we think is possible.

Take, for example, the legendary story of the four-minute mile. For years, it was considered an unbreakable barrier in athletics. Experts believed the human body simply wasn’t capable of running a mile in under four minutes. Then, in 1954, Roger Bannister shattered that limit. What happened next? Within the same year, other runners also broke the four-minute mile. What had changed? Not their bodies—but their belief in what was possible. Bannister’s achievement shifted the collective consciousness around human capability.

Another fascinating example comes from the animal kingdom. In the 1950s, scientists observed a group of monkeys on an island in Japan. Researchers would leave sweet potatoes on the ground for the monkeys to eat. One day, a particularly innovative monkey rinsed the sand-covered sweet potato in a nearby lake and discovered it tasted better. Soon, other monkeys began to copy this behavior. But here’s where it gets really interesting: the practice of washing food started spreading to other groups of monkeys on entirely different islands—monkeys who had no physical contact with the original group. This phenomenon became known as the “100th Monkey Principle.”

The principle suggests that once a critical number of individuals adopt a new behavior or way of thinking—a tipping point—the idea spreads rapidly throughout the entire group. It’s as if the collective consciousness of the species evolves all at once.

And why does this matter to us? Because we are all interconnected. What one of us does, thinks, or believes has the power to ripple out and affect the whole. Imagine if we shifted our collective emotion from fear to love. Imagine if enough of us made the conscious decision to live from a place of compassion, hope, and kindness. That tipping point could change the world.

Your choice to embrace love over fear doesn’t just transform your life—it contributes to a global shift in consciousness. You might not see the immediate effects, but rest assured, your choice matters. Because every act of love, every moment of kindness, brings us closer to that 100th Monkey moment when the world transforms.
