More quotes by 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.
Jean Houston
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
There is something else that is trying to come through - that lure of becoming - and it does come from the realm of spirit, it does come from the quantum universe, it does come from the great spark that is the threshold of time and history trying to emerge and electrify us.
Jean Houston
The world needs the sense that we are all in it together.
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
I think civilization is going to get to a point where we suddenly become responsible, stewards of the whole evolutionary process. This requires domains of consciousness, not just levels and frequencies.
Jean Houston
Vulnerable is a catch-all word like love and schizophrenia.
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
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
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
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
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 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
You are not a passive observer in the cosmos. The entire universe is expressing itself through you at this very moment.
Jean Houston
I've been around for a very long time, I've been around since God had baby cheeks.
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
A myth is something that never was but that is always happening.
Jean Houston
Your brain has one function-to do exactly what you tell it to do.
Jean Houston
If you travel as much as I do - 165,000 miles last year - you exist nowhere. You're always between heaven and earth, you're always arriving in a new place, you're always starting from the beginning - talk about origins - and you don't know quite what's going to unfold. You live in the unexpected and the inexplicable all the time.
