Seven suitors on a voyage Two directions they can go So it shall be as it was in the beginning To discover who we are Bridging distance Dissolution of our hearts And our existence is moving closer to the stars Come together it is time Flow like water through these hands Disregard the destination Built from vague and faulty plans Come together as a nation Flow like water through these stones Come and join the revolution Children of the human kind, chasing space and bending time Let this planet see the beauty of your mind This is nothing but a lesson on desire A rollercoaster and the tracks are set on fire Flow like water through these hands Disregard the destination Built from vague and faulty plans Come together as a nation Flow like water through these stones Come and join the revolution Children of the human kind, chasing space and bending time Let this planet see the beauty of your mind Seven suitors on a voyage Two directions they can go

about

During an experiment in 1952 a spontaneous cultural innovation was observed among a group of monkeys on the island of Koshima in Japan. The studies indicated a very specific set of circumstances which led to an ideological breakthrough or "paradigm shift" in the behavior of the entire population of monkeys.

To the amazement of the scientists, when a certain number of monkeys reached a critical mass, the learned behavior was spread almost instantaneously to monkeys on the surrounding islands that were not part of the experiment.

Thus it was proven that when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind through what science is coming to understand as a morphogenic field that encompasses all of humanity.

In the spirit of this curious discovery in 1952 "The Hundredth Monkey" album is dedicated to the new awareness that is emerging within each individual on our planet and the subsequent building of a new paradigm by and for the human family.
