More quotes by Jean Houston
Engaging it produces an intense force, which in turn produces a mutation in consciousness. You become who you really are.
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
We live in a description of reality.
Jean Houston
We all get betrayed or we all betray. Life is so complex that it's almost impossible to avoid that. Betrayal is also a critical theme in all the world's great stories. If Christ had not been betrayed, would you have had the resurrection?

Jean Houston
Ironically, we are all too often educated out of rather than in to an awareness of the body.
Jean Houston
I am ready for the rest of my life to rise.
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
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 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
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
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
Occasionally we will be overwhelmed, but mostly we will be enchanted.
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
A myth is something that never was but that is always happening.
Jean Houston
