Pathos activates the eyes and ears to see and hear. At times of pathos, illness opens doors to a reality which is closed to a healthy point of view.
Jean Houston
Image
Wth subtly developed body awareness, it is possible for the individual to become the conscious orchestrator of health.
Jean Houston
Image
You've had a whole lot of experience, but everything is also radically new at each moment, and you have to bring a kind of childlike second-level innocence to bear upon all situations, if you are going to be of use and you are going to really learn from the situation or the people.
Jean Houston
Image
I've been around for a very long time, I've been around since God had baby cheeks.
Jean Houston
Image
We tend to think of the Faustian man, the one who fabricates, manipulates, seduces and ends up destroying. But the new image will be man the creator, the artist, the player.

At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston

Laughter lifts our spirits, surprises and sometime shocks our expectations, allows us to cross boundaries, reorders our priorities, and gives us access to ideas and associations we rarely ever thought to have.

Over-intellectualizing can justify practically anything. Reason has reasons that can create holocausts. In the 20th century, we have certainly seen how much killing and disaster has been championed with superb intellectual reasons.
Jean Houston
Image
We are sitting on a cornucopia of knowing that we had no way to access as a democracy. We couldn't get the democratization of the human capacity before our time.
Jean Houston
Image
We are the love, the lover, the loving, and the love. It is the Supreme. It is the deepest force in our lives.
Jean Houston
Image
Change the story and you change perception change perception and you change the world.
Jean Houston
Image
The ecological crisis is doing what no other crisis in history has ever done - challenging us to a realization of a new humanity.
Jean Houston
Image
Occasionally we will be overwhelmed, but mostly we will be enchanted.
Jean Houston
Image
You are not an encapsulated bag of skin dragging around a dreary little ego. You are an evolutionary wonder, a trillion cells singing together in a vast chorale, an organism – environment, a symbiosis of cell and soul.
Jean Houston
Image
I am deeply activated by a sense of history, and have been since I was a tiny child. Really feeling that these were the times, we were the people, this was the most critical time in human history. Other people thought their times were the pinnacle and this is it. This is where we really, together, make a decision of whether to evolve or perish.

We live in a description of reality.
Jean Houston
Image
We all get betrayed or we all betray. Life is so complex that it's almost impossible to avoid that. Betrayal is also a critical theme in all the world's great stories. If Christ had not been betrayed, would you have had the resurrection?
Jean Houston
Image
You are not a passive observer in the cosmos. The entire universe is expressing itself through you at this very moment.
