If Not, Why Not?

Have you ever heard of the hundredth monkey? It goes sort of like this. There were these scientists and they were studying a group of monkeys, on four to five islands, in the south pacific. One monkey learned how to wash a potato off before eating, making the potato taste better. Now what does this have to do with 100th monkey?

Hold your horses I am getting to it. Now here we go... the one monkey who learned how to clean the potato before he ate it started teaching the other monkeys how to clean the potato also and now the funny thing is this, when he had taught the hundredth monkey, the whole colony knew how to do it.

This may not seem like a big deal but the monkeys on the other four islands knew how to wash a potato too. How can this be you may be asking yourself? None of the monkeys from the other islands knew how or never were even shown them how to do it. However, all the monkeys on all five islands knew how to wash the potato before eating it!

How can this be? I mean what we are getting at here. It is simple, even though the other monkeys were never taught, they instinctively knew how to do it also but not until the hundredth monkey was taught. What does this mean in human beings terms? It goes like this, Carl Jung on of the greats of modern psychology. He explains it to us in these certain terms, when the 100th monkey taught, all the other monkeys on all islands knew how to do it also.

How let us look at Dr. Jung
