More quotes by Jean Houston
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
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston
Change the story and you change perception change perception and you change the world.
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
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
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
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
The soul is the lure of our becoming.
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
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 world needs the sense that we are all in it together.
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
I'm very much an animal and nature person.
Jean Houston
Each person is a really a great treasure house of capacities, possibilities, energies.
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
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
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
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
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
