Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was the first of the modern era that expressed the idea of ​​archetypes in the field of psychology. His exploration of the depths of the mind led him to philosophy, mythology, alchemy, Eastern religions and Western mysticism. It opened the door to psychological relativism, and placed the study of the unconscious in the foreground, above the conscious, and starting a new path very little traveled by academic knowledge. For him, there was even something more global and suprapersonal that he called collective unconscious. This, common to all mankind, would contain the mental inheritance of human evolution.

Jung observed symbols of a universal nature, which he called archetypes, and which were related to a series of common experiences in different peoples and cultures (childhood and old age, death, pregnancy and childbirth, love, ...). These experiences would be structured and organized in common fields (archetypes) within the collective unconscious: such as that of the father, mother, child, lover, hero, sage, etc. It would be as if a common idea had materialized in each of the peoples of the earth throughout its history, changing as the experiences of those peoples varied, but always remaining a collective remnant that would be present in each of the individuals of the new generations.

In the 1920s, an experiment was initiated at Harvard University that was continued in Scotland and Australia. The physiologist and doctor William McDougall tried to measure, in animal psychology experiments, how rats inherited the intelligence of their parents. In his experiments he placed rodents in a small maze to measure their intelligence. The more "intelligent" rats solved the maze more quickly and were paired with other intelligent rats. He did the same with the clumsiest. That is, the intelligent mated each other, and the clumsy only among them.

Twenty-two generations later, all litters of rats, intelligent and clumsy roamed the labyrinth ten times faster than any rat of the first generation. How was it possible that the most recent litters of slow rats had learned to travel the maze even faster than the original intelligent rats? What connection was there between the first generation of rats and the last? Possible explanations of this phenomenon would arrive at the end of the last century by revolutionary ideas, such as the theory of morphic resonance (Sheldrake, 1995). Let's continue seeing other experiments and curious natural phenomena.

In the 50s the biologist Lyall Watson observed on the island of Koshima, near Japan, a colony of Macaca Fuscata monkeys in the wild for several years. In 1952, scientists began to provide sweet potato monkeys that they threw on the sand. At first the monkeys ate the tubers with some sand, until a young female, named Imo, began washing the sweet potatoes and other monkeys soon learned this behavior.

Between 1952 and 1958, all young monkeys washed sweet potatoes before eating them. Only adults who imitated their young incorporated this change. Other adults continued to eat sweet potatoes with sand.

What has been described so far would not cease to be mere learning by imitation (Miller and Dollard, 1941) or also called vicarious learning (Bandura and Walters, 1963), that is, there is a model from which something is learned by observation.

However, in the fall of 1958, from a certain moment, it would be better said of a certain monkey, ALL the primates of the tribe washed the sweet potatoes before eating them. And the surprise was not there, there was something that impressed these researchers even more. Without the Koshima monkeys leaving the island, the behavior of washing the sweet potatoes before eating them had extended to other monkeys in the archipelago and even the continent!

The habit apparently jumped the natural barriers and appeared on other islands and even in Takasakiyama, in Japan. Scientifically, no explanation was found. From a monkey, let's imagine that it was number one hundred, the hundredth monkey, an explosion of knowledge took place that was automatically incorporated by all the members of its species, regardless of the distance they were found (Watson, 1979).

Another interesting phenomenon occurred with birds in the middle of the last century. The blue tit are small blue-headed birds very common in Britain. Even today fresh milk is distributed in some places in Great Britain. Until the 50s, milk bottle caps were made of cardboard.

In 1921, in Southampton, Great Britain, those who collected their milk bottles observed a curious phenomenon. When collecting them, there were small pieces of cardboard around the base of the bottle, and the cream on the top of the bottle had disappeared. The incident appeared elsewhere in Great Britain, about 50 miles away; and then somewhere else 100 miles away. The phenomenon was supposedly extended by imitation dídídá the psychology of classical learning-, however, blue bluebells are creatures that normally do not travel more It's four or five miles. Therefore, the expansion of that behavior could only be explained in terms of an independent discovery of the habit.

That habit was cartographed throughout Britain until 1947 and by then it was quite universal, who carried out the study, concluded that it should have been `` invented '' independently at least 50 times. But there are still more, the rate of extension of the habit will accelerate over time. In other places in Europe where milk bottles are distributed at the foot of the stairs of the houses, such as in Scandinavia and Holland, the habit also flourished during the 30s, extended Go very similarly.

But it is still possible to make a twist, and there is even stronger evidence of an unknown process of knowledge transmission. The German occupation in Holland, caused that the distribution of milk for several years ceased, resuming in 1948. If a blue herringbone usually lives three years, probably there would be no blue herringbone from the time when milk was distributed for the last time. However, when returning to the distribution of milk in 1948, the opening of milk bottles by blue smiths quickly emerged in quite separate places in the Netherlands, spread rapidly and emerged independently with a frequency much older on this second occasion. This proves that a new habit would probably depend to a greater extent on a type of collective memory than on genetics.

Again when a certain subject reaches that knowledge, all individuals of the species, regardless of distance or time, automatically incorporate it.

Perhaps we could think that these experiences were coincidence and that they do not occur in other environments, species or physical entities. However, there are many experiments in plants and even in physical structures such as crystals or at atomic and quantum levels in some particles.

In experiments with substances, the less surprising results have also been obtained. Some of them are very difficult to crystallize in the laboratory. However, if one of them succeeds in the task, the substance in question begins to crystallize more easily in other laboratories in the rest of the world. At first it was thought that the cause could be that visiting researchers carry tiny pieces of glass on their clothes or on their beards. But finally this cause was dismissed.

Apparently crystals learn: 40 years after the discovery of glycerin, it used to be accepted that it did not form crystals. One day in the early nineteenth century, a canister of glycerin transported from Vienna to London began to crystallize.

Very shortly after, in a very different place, another load of glycerin crystallized. The cases spread and today glycerin forms crystals when the temperature drops below 17 ° C. The same has happened with many other substances.

Edgard Morín (New Paradigms, Culture and Subjectivity. D. Fried Schniyman Ed. Paidos B. Aires 457 pg.) Recounts verbatim: “It was recently discovered that there is a communication between trees of the same species. In an experience conducted by scientists, all the leaves were removed from a tree to see how it behaved. The tree reacted in a predictable way, that is, it began to secrete sap more intensely to quickly replace the leaves that had been removed. And it also secreted a substance that protected it against parasites. But what is interesting is that the neighboring trees of the same species began to segregate the same antiparasitic substance as the attacked tree. ”

It seems that any living or inert physical entity has a more subtle support by which it expands and through which it collects the necessary information of its species to make a leap in its evolution every so often, or perhaps, every certain number of units, subjects or individuals

Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, a British biologist and philosopher, raised a hypothesis that tried to explain these experiments and phenomena: the morphogenetic fields, or non-local fields as he prefers to call them. According to Sheldrake himself:

“Morpho comes from the Greek word morphe, which means form. Morphogenetic fields are form fields; fields, patterns or order structures. These fields organize not only the fields of living organisms but also crystals and molecules. Each type of molecule, each protein for example, has its own morphic field - a hemoglobin field, an insulin field, etc. Similarly, each type of crystal, each type of organism, each type of instinct or pattern of behavior has its morphic field. These fields are what order nature. There are many types of fields because there are many types of things and patterns in nature ... "

We could say that this hypothesis, having been replicated in a multitude of experiments, would become a theory, arguing that somehow we are all interconnected (Gregg Braden, 2000), so that there would be a matrix that connects all visible and invisible reality, and that changes in one part of it, affect other parts of that reality. Something similar follows from the uncertainty principle of Heisenberg (1927) when he postulates that an observer of the subatomic world affects the results by merely observing, becoming a participant.

Lynne Mctaggart (The Field, 2007) would hold the same idea as Braden: We are all connected, there is a field that responds to the power of intention and that from a certain critical mass the changes in individual subjects extend to the entire collective automatically .

According to Sheldrake's theory, genes, for example, would be the physical mechanism that receives information from the morphogenetic field, such as radio or television receiving its signals. It would also explain the transmission of information to individuals of the same species simultaneously, but separated in space and time.

To verify or refute his own theory, Sheldrake conducted two experiments with humans: “The first experiment was sponsored by the New Scientist magazine in London, and the second by the Brain / Mind Bulletin in Los Angeles.

In the New Scientist-sponsored experiment, people from different parts of the world were given a minute to find famous faces hidden in an abstract drawing. Data were taken and means were prepared. Subsequently, the solution was broadcast by the BBC in a time slot where the estimated audience was one million viewers.

Immediately after the broadcast was made, in places where the BBC is not received, the same “test” was carried out on another sample of people. The subjects who found the faces within the time of one minute were 76% higher than the first test. The probability that this result was due to a simple chance was 100 against one. According to Dr. Sheldrake, non-local fields, or morphogenetic fields, had transmitted the information to the entire "species", without stopping at those people who witnessed the aforementioned television broadcast.

In the experiment sponsored by the Brain / Mind Bulletin of Los Angeles, several groups of people were asked to memorize 3 different poems. The first was a Japanese children's song, the second a poem by a modern Japanese author and the third a meaningless gibberish. As the morphogenetic field theory predicts, the children's song, having been learned by millions of children for many generations, even if they were Japanese, was memorized noticeably faster than the other two alternatives. ”

Gary Schwarz, a psychologist at Yale University, conducted a similar experiment at the Tarrytown Executive Conference Center in New York. Yale students who did not know Hebrew were shown three-letter Hebrew words, half of them meaningless. The students obtained better results in the recognition of “real” words in a higher proportion than what would be expected as mere fruit of chance.

Perhaps you are wondering, what implications can these issues have in our daily life, that we spend a good part of it behaving like automatons, or living happily in a world where consuming or doing what needs to be done is part of our routine more unconscious? Why should it be important to be aware of what this theory means? Can the results of that 'hundredth monkey' that washed the sweet potatoes and cause the revolution in all its species be extrapolated to our species? single subject thinking in a planetary change?

Morphic resonance theory encourages change in our way of thinking and feeling the world we live. He says that the emergence of a new idea, feeling, and even the action of, for example, exchanging services instead of money, can be facilitated by the resonance coming from people who tune into that idea and put it into practice.

Emerging a totally new behavior, not only for the first time in the history of an individual, but for the first time in the world. What does this mean? Well, perhaps it is in our hands to change the course of our planet if we are able to generate a new way of thinking, acting or feeling, which gradually materializes into new forms of coexistence.

Do our thoughts and feelings really influence to such extent? Is their influence real or the result of popular fantasy? We know from different experiments, such as those carried out by Masaru Emoto in his research on water (Water Messages, 2003) that thoughts and words spoken or written are capable of generating a type of non-visible energy that influences Crystallization of molecules. A thought of peace causes a molecule of water to crystallize in a completely different way than the thought of violence would be, in the first case being perfectly ordered and symmetrical crystallizations, while in the second case disorganized and irregular structures appear.

On another level of reality research, connected with the subject we are dealing with, are the investigations of the French physicist Alain Aspect (1982). In them, along with his team, he discovers that by subjecting certain conditions to subatomic particles, such as electrons, they were able to communicate with each other regardless of the distance that separated them. It seemed that each individual particle knew what all the others were doing.

The quantum physicist David Bohm (Totality and the Order involved, 2000) explored the unity of the universe through what he calls "implied order", which would be present in all beings and things. He gave an answer to the experiments of his French colleague in the opinion that his discoveries involved objective reality does not exist as a kind of gigantic hologram the reality in which we live.

For Bohm the reason why the subatomic particles remained in contact regardless of distance, lies in the fact that it is an illusion. He explains his theory with a simple example: Imagine that through two monitors we observe the same fish. In one of them it appears from the front, and in another from the side. You could think of a principle that they are different and separate entities. We might think that they are two different fish and even believe that they communicate with each other at the same time. However, after a while, we would see that there is a certain union between them, and even surely that it is a single fish. Something similar would be happening with subatomic particles, according to Bohm. The apparent connection between these particles would be warning us of a deeper level of reality to which, for the moment, we do not have access. Actually, at that level, the particles would be connected to each other, and since you, I and all the objects and beings of our reality would be constituted by particles like These, and others, would all be part of an immense network of holographic character where the phenomenon of the locality cracks when everything is interrelated and united.

Crowd of researchers, maximum exponents of the new, and heretics at the same time, show a multi-universe in which each of its parts, from the subathemic particles through a drop of water, a being human, and even clusters of galaxies would be connected, sharing information with each other simultaneously and constantly.

Perhaps, physical reality manifests part of that great hologram of which we are a part and it will be our conscience who will travel through it by recognizing it in its most diverse manifestations.

The human being on Earth is increasingly aware of the need to start using all the potential that he carries within himself. If everyone and everything is connected, just as quantum physics advances, we should begin to seriously consider the possibility that human beings as individual subjects are the first and last responsible for the reality that they create and live on a daily basis, both in the present and for future generations, and that the fact of a global transformation of humanity inexorably goes through the change of one individual of another and another and another one, so until we reach an eleventh subject, suppose it was the number one hundred, and that when changing that hundredth human, it would generate an explosion of knowledge that would be automatically transmitted to the rest of the planet's congeners, causing large currents of planetary changes that as a contraction of a birth would lead to birth a new era of human beings, a new humanity. That new era that we hope so long for it to materialize, should be born before inside each one of us and then expand. Let us be aware of what it means to collaborate with that silent critical mass that millions of people form across the planet. Millions of beings who want to live in a different world but who believe they are disconnected when what the research points to is the opposite. Let's take advantage of the river of knowledge and transmission of information that new technologies (internet, mobile, ) imply, to connect with those ideas, feelings and attitudes that they speak of union between human beings, of understanding, of acceptance, of peace, of communication, of living life with those values ​​that our society seems to have left in the background, and ultimately, to let us soak up the new and be part of a chain of transmission that empowers the global. Let's integrate and update, with the information we now have, the fact that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Our planet and its future, is the responsibility of each and every one of us, of no one else. Let's try not to energize what separates us, what divides us. Let us abandon the bad known and open ourselves to the new to know, take our sweet potato full of sand, do something new with it - like Japanese monkeys - and we will make sense of the words implication, commitment and humanity, to its main representative, the human being and the tool that is capable of changing the future at every moment: free will, escorted by the mind and heart and working with those subtle levels that researchers tell us s advanced.

Let's try to be a little more aware of our potential as a group to change the planet, but first, do you dare to be the hundredth human? …I do.
