More quotes by 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
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
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
You are not a passive observer in the cosmos. The entire universe is expressing itself through you at this very moment.
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
The soul is the lure of our becoming.
Jean Houston
I am ready for the rest of my life to rise.
Jean Houston
A myth is something that never was but that is always happening.
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 find you have to come as litmus paper and be available to whatever way you can be.
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
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
I'm very much an animal and nature person.
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
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
We have barely begun to tap into the genius of our humanity.
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
The ideas are secondary to the primary premise of people's potential. I'm always in wonder and astonishment.
Jean Houston
We live in a description of reality.
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.
