Yep, precisely and I'm glad you can grok it.

Your observation is really quite relevant to the OP's questions here, and his questions in his other thread about beliefs. Wisdom is not belief. Wisdom is the higher perspective, achieved (100th monkey). Once the higher perspective has been achieved, it raises up everything (the 99 other monkeys) that has come before it. The old consciousness-paradigm falls away completely, as if it never existed. All the monkeys now exist and operate within that new consciousness-paradigm... all now ARE that 100th monkey.

YES! You can understand it fully now and explain the perspective I was trying to convey much better than I could. Awesome!
