More quotes by Jean Houston
Education and the process of educating is a total integral, contextual situation which includes students, teachers, parents, administration and environment.
Jean Houston
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
We live in a description of reality.
Jean Houston
I believe that we are stewards of a time that is upon us - but often we need the encouragement of each other to be able to wake up to this extraordinary time and possibility.
Jean Houston
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
I firmly believe that all human beings have access to extraordinary energies and powers. Judging from accounts of mystical experience, heightened creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes and artists, we harbor a greater life than we know.
Jean Houston

Jean Houston
Now is the time when we must renew ourselves and live as if we and all of life is sacred, and as if everything we do makes a difference.
Jean Houston
Love to me is - the final lines in Dante's Paradiso, when he says, The love that moves the Sun and all the stars - it's what draws us together, it's why we have leaky margins with each other. It is that sumptuous, sensuous, sensitive quickening that happens when we really know ourselves as love and see ourselves as loving.
Jean Houston
Each person is a really a great treasure house of capacities, possibilities, energies.
Jean Houston
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.
Jean Houston
Vulnerable is a catch-all word like love and schizophrenia.
Jean Houston
Wth subtly developed body awareness, it is possible for the individual to become the conscious orchestrator of health.
Jean Houston
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston
Ironically, we are all too often educated out of rather than in to an awareness of the body.
Jean Houston
I find you have to come as litmus paper and be available to whatever way you can be.
Jean Houston
Because of the nature of my life, because I train a great many people, I come upon such a huge variety of human species, as well as the earth species for that matter.
