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.

More quotes by Jean Houston
Change the story and you change perception change perception and you change the world.
Jean Houston
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
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
We're in a decaying culture now. Naturally, the young people in the culture are going to feel themselves to be products of the decay.
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
Education and the process of educating is a total integral, contextual situation which includes students, teachers, parents, administration and environment.
Jean Houston
We have barely begun to tap into the genius of our humanity.
Jean Houston
Your brain has one function-to do exactly what you tell it to do.
Jean Houston
I am ready for the rest of my life to rise.
Jean Houston
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.
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
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
You are not a passive observer in the cosmos. The entire universe is expressing itself through you at this very moment.
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
We all have the extraordinary coded within us, waiting to be released.
Jean Houston
I find you have to come as litmus paper and be available to whatever way you can be.
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.
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
The soul is the lure of our becoming.
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
