Cooperation ~ the Key to Evolving Intelligence

Ever wonder why we get together to Ascend and to share our experiences of evolving Consciousness? Ever wonder if there is any scientific evidence for the saying; “When 2 or 3 agree about anything they ask for, it will be done by the Father in Heaven” (Matthew 18:19)?

Many new scientific studies are showing that cooperation is the key to evolving Intelligence. In fact, cooperation has been at the hub of many studies since the early 1970's. Early studies show that when children cooperate rather than compete in school everyone improves test scores dramatically.

A recent study of elephants showed that elephants cooperating to solve problems came up with more solutions than the scientists creating the tests! Here is a great video showing dolphins learning and evolving together: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/planet-earth/videos/shallow-seas-dolphin-waves.htm. This video not only exemplifies the challenges and risks of evolution, but also that a group effort reduces the exposure as well as speeding up the entire process. One recurring theme comes through the research: the impact of giving to others creates results that far outshine those with individuals working totally from self-interest.
