Telepathic Observations

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 monkey 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!

The Laws of Engagement

1. Those not in the light are those sticklers for the common reality as defined by scientific upbringing (see Opinions on Society).
2. Those not in the light are in a perpetual state of seeking retribution for invasion of their personal privacy by telepathic means.
3. The telepathic vocabulary of those not in the light is limited to about 20 words or phrases. You cannot anticipate the telepathic output of someone who is in the light. It may well not consist of vocabulary, so there is no point in trying to "listen"!
4. Those not in the light expect those in the light to make them feel high whenever they like. Those in the light may do this once or twice, but know that this is a fruitless task in the long run, as feeling high isn't all there is to being in the light (although it is important). Comprehension, empathy and selfless creativity seem to evade those not in the light, since they don't always make you feel high, despite them being essential elements of being in the light.
5. Quite often those not in the light want those in the light to telepathically "shut up". This shows what little understanding they have, since a lot of the mental conversation of those in the light is unconsciously generated. Those in the light have so much on their minds anyway, that most telepathy goes unnoticed and ignored. The mind is very good at ignoring information it doesn't deem important.
6. Those not in the light are so concerned about their social image, that if someone manages to see beneath the facade they put on, all sorts of paranoia and obsessions get built up. If you ever mid-flow stop to imagine what you look like to someone watching you, then you will have completely lost track of that all-important flow, irretrievably. When saying to yourself after this has happened, "I'll get another chance" or "It doesn't matter", becomes more frequent than not, then you are losing the battle. Every "mind flow" you get on in your life is different and unique. Dropping it for social image's sake, is a real waste of life force.
7. Paranoia is deemed unacceptable by those not in the light, and is regarded as a necessary learning angle by those in the light.
8. Reality is the mindless immediacy of the surrounds for those not in the light, and is undefined for those in the light.
9. Those in the light never stop to "listen" (try to hear telepathy in the mind as words). They can hear and talk simultaneously. Those not in the light are always stopping (mental activity) to "listen" to those in the light, though they can rarely hear them, and are "bought off" with a mild visceral bliss, generated by the rare moment of peace brought about by "stopping".
10. Those not in the light seem to exalt a certain "Eladio" as their champion. Having met the dude, I can vouch for the fact that he is a convicted criminal and a heroin addict. This is a sorry state of affairs for the majority of socially-conditioned human beings, who stigmatise crime and habitual drug-taking, but hypocritically worship a human being who does so. Those in the light also have a mentor, but only for consultation purposes (like many people who "pray" to a "God"). His magnitude is beyond description, yet he is a mere human, which bodes well for the freedom of mind experienced by those in the light. Equality of importance of all life is what is advocated, and this is reflected in the way light is shared out to all of its followers, including stubborn pig-headed dudes like me. Any group pleasure is shone out like an untouchable but feelable lighthouse beacon, sweeping through all members of the group. Further realisation reveals a hierarchy of wisdom (which founded the feeling in the first place) stretching forever outwards with greater rewards of feeling for those who attain the necessary understanding. No limits, no end in sight, lots of new discoveries to be made. This results in a very cosy group feeling, whilst retaining all aspects of individuality. Those not in the light are not able to express their own personality, and be heard, for fear of upsetting "the system", but rely on other people's perception of their behaviour to define their personality. This is not freedom, just simple towing the line. In these circumstances, not caring is the safest attitude to adopt. Pleasure is experienced entirely viscerally (no sublimation of mind or soul occurs, which is why it is always short-lived and dead-ended). Failure to adopt the conventions results in temporary ostracism or even pain! Contrast those in the light, where failure denies one the perception of the wisdom required to get high, and others remind you of that wisdom to help you. Some people really do care!
11. Those not in the light seem to think those in the light control them, or something's wrong. The message of the light is we're all equally powerful. no one controls anyone (like anarchy); everyone always has free will (the benefit of the doubt).
12. Those not in the light are only telepathic with one species and always use words, not thought. Those in the light commune with all life.
13. Those in the light never "path" (send a message by telepathic means) questions or "path" responses to them. Those not in the light nearly always "path" questioningly.
14. Those in the light experience life. Those not in the light reflect on life.
15. Those in the light like positive good things. Those not in the light delight in schadenfreude and are negative and bad in the extreme, especially to those in the light, like a childish jealousy. They act this way under the guise of "freedom of speech", but it's really their pent up dissatisfaction with the way they perceive things, and the way they think they're forced to live.
16. To stand a better chance of being in the light, you have to destroy your own ego, prejudices and conditioning. With this baggage, living for the moment will do you no good. You should stop using drugs like alcohol and heroin. You have to shed your fears. You have to accept that your life has ups and downs, and that being in the light is no bed of roses. Security of certain lifestyle habits has to disappear. You have to take mental risks. It is not always easy, but it has fantastic rewards : the harder it is, the better the rewards. The rewards' origin should never be attributed to your own personal talents. When someone tries to mentally "harm" you, do not seek retribution.
17. Those in the light never "rest on their laurels". Those not in the light are always seeking ways of doing so. The former is being alive. The latter mostly dead or in stasis.
18. Those in the light are not afraid of (overly emotionally stressed by) feelings like anger, aggression, passion and love. They don't feel constrained to the feeling-set that is common to all humans by virtue of biochemical engineering. Those not in the light rarely experience emotions on the spur of the moment - only when it is expected of them in the current social context. They seem to be scared to be alive, and public image is what makes them behave in any particular manner, even when no one is present!
19. Music seems to impact the minds of those in the light far more than those not in the light.
20. Those not in the light never telepathically lie, and don't believe that anyone actually does. Those in the light often "path" the opposite to what they mean, especially sarcastically.
21. Those not in the light regard other people's opinion of them too highly to have a life of their own. They lose their individuality, and, as a result, mental freedom.
22. Those in the light never swear allegiance to any ideology, belief, religion, movement, faction, or politics. They would never seriously take an oath on anything. Even romanticised ideals of common human emotions like love, trust and loyalty, are trivial. Such tenacities are all hormonally or socially inculcated, and can only be of a temporary nature, when measured against your whole lifespan. They understand that everyone goes through "phases", and as you become wiser, these "phases" become so temporary, as to merit no long-term entertainment whatsoever. So things like national anthems, hymns and political speeches could never stir anything but ridicule in those in the light. Consequently, trying to label those in the light as, for example, hippies, punks or rastas is a futile exercise.
23. Those not in the light describe really good or bad things with qualifiers like "so" or "such a". Those in the light describe them as they are. For example, "She is so beautiful" as compared with "She is beautiful", and "It was such a wonderful experience" as compared with "It was a wonderful experience".
24. Those in the light know that you cannot use telepathy to harm or discomfort people. Those not in the light are under the misapprehension that it can be used to discomfort or physically hurt those in the light.
25. Those not in the light seem to attempt a perpetual running commentary on those in the light, even when it is wholly inaccurate.
26. Those not in the light believe that vibrating air molecules or hitting furniture is the answer to the fear of the emotional pain that their heads have got them into.
27. Those not in the light erroneously believe their brutality to be of some use to those in the light.
28. Social image is a waste of time and effort to those in the light, and a habit-forming lifestyle to those not in the light.
29. Those not in the light seem to measure a man's worth by his public words and actions. Those in the light measure a man's worth by what's on his mind.
30. Those not in the light always look for a "hero", a single human being, to fall back on, to be their mentor. No one human being can be responsible for the feelings and vibes of the world population, as anyone in the light knows.
31. Those not in the light spend most of their conversational time trying to see what effect words have on those in the light. They regard themselves as untouchable observers, but they really reel when those in the light point out that observing is not living, and that they themselves are being observed in their state of observation. The mistake that is constantly being made by society's inhabitants, is that they isolate themselves from their immediate environment, in order to take up an observation point. In doing so, they also isolate themselves from the roles that they play in that immediate environment. As a result, whenever they act or speak, an immediate self-analysis is done in order to quickly adopt social norms for fear of embarassment. This results in a very stilted, choppy existence, with no smooth flow of ideas or life-force. What's more, these idiots think that a stop/start existence is the norm because it is the best, and no one can "affect" them, because they can become flippant, and deny any observation made about them. Basically, there is no permanence of any contribution their life-force is making to their immediate environment, and, so, it becomes impossible to deduce anything concrete about them. It also means that their life-force is worthless, and their existence a game with no serious outcome. This is your "average Joe" - a "nervous tic"-orientated mammal, who contributes nothing towards the good of the "tribe", and believes that it is OK to exist this way, as long as their own selfish needs are fulfilled. Those in the light never get embarassed, and are too honest not to listen to other people's observations. Self-consciousness is a dead-end that can only yield selfish attitudes.
