More quotes by Jean Houston
In a world such as ours, where we have to cross the great divide of otherness or we will not survive, love is perhaps the most critical aspect that is there in our humanity, to both activate and to practice.
Jean Houston
Journalists are among a select group, along with warriors and executioners who are authorized to do harm. As James Fallows says, a lot of journalists think that isn't so, and that everything will wash out ultimately. But I don't think they are aware of the long-term damage.
Jean Houston
I'm very much an animal and nature person.
Jean Houston
I find that all over the world, not only is there an acceleration of just about everything, but that many of the old patterns are deconstructing. New ones are arising. It's tremendously exciting, challenging, and also sometimes, well, scary.
Jean Houston
I've been around for a very long time, I've been around since God had baby cheeks.
Jean Houston
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston
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
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
Around my eighth or ninth year I became interested in the world's religions. I was mathematically retarded but theologically precocious. I began to correspond with seikhs in India. After about the third letter they would ask about job opportunities in America.
Jean Houston
Vulnerable is a catch-all word like love and schizophrenia.
Jean Houston
Laughter is the loaded latency given us by nature as part of our native equipment to break up the stalemates of our lives and urge us on to deeper and more complex forms of knowing.
Jean Houston
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
Your brain has one function-to do exactly what you tell it to do.
Jean Houston
A myth is something that never was but that is always happening.
Jean Houston
We live in a description of reality.
Jean Houston
Time has driven out sex and money as the central issues. Now if it could only drive out the issue of power we would be somewhere!
Jean Houston
If you're looking ecologically, then we are in very big trouble, yes. But if you're talking about people sinking, I'm not so sure that's true. There are cycles of rise and fall, as there have been since time immemorial.
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.
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
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.
