Quote

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.

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
Image
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.

Occasionally we will be overwhelmed, but mostly we will be enchanted.
Jean Houston
Image
We all have the extraordinary coded within us, waiting to be released.

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

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.

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
Image
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

We have barely begun to tap into the genius of our humanity.

We live in a description of reality.

Paul Brunton was a great original and got to a place of personal evolution that illumines the pathways of a future humanity.

Vulnerable is a catch-all word like love and schizophrenia.

Wth subtly developed body awareness, it is possible for the individual to become the conscious orchestrator of health.
Jean Houston
Image
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
Image
Ironically, we are all too often educated out of rather than in to an awareness of the body.

At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
