More quotes by Marilyn Ferguson
So long as we need to control other people, however benign our motives, we are captive to that need. In giving them freedom, we free ourselves.
Marilyn Ferguson
The creative process requires chaos before form emerges.
Marilyn Ferguson
We cannot leave the trap until we know we are in it.
Marilyn Ferguson
Never have so many been so high so often. When a Boston research group decided to compare the effects of marijuana on experienced and inexperienced users, it took them two months to line up nine student subjects who had never used marijuana.
Marilyn Ferguson
If we are to find our way across troubled waters, we are better served by the company of those who have built bridges, who have moved beyond despair and inertia.
Marilyn Ferguson
Our biggest failure is our failure to see patterns.
Marilyn Ferguson
When one begins the transformative process, death and birth are imminent: the death of custom as authority, the birth of the self.
Marilyn Ferguson
By definition, revolutions are not linear, one step at a time, event A leading to event B, and so on. Many causes operate on each other at once. Revolutions shift into place suddenly, like the pattern in a kaleidoscope. They do not so much proceed as crystallize.
Marilyn Ferguson
The East contemplated the forest the West counted the trees...the mind that knows that trees and the forest is a new mind.
Marilyn Ferguson
Things fall apart, so they can fall together at a higher level of order.
Marilyn Ferguson
only that which is deeply felt can change us. Rational arguments alone cannot penetrate the layers of fear and conditioning that comprise our crippling belief system.
Marilyn Ferguson
The brain's calculations do not require our conscious effort, only our attention and our openness to let the information through. Although the brain absorbs universes of information, little is admitted into normal consciousness.
Marilyn Ferguson
The mind aware of itself is a pilot... vastly freer than a passenger mind.
Marilyn Ferguson
Of all the self-fulfilling prophecies in our culture, the assumption that aging means decline and poor health is probably the deadliest.
Marilyn Ferguson
If we continue to believe as we have always believed, we will continue to act as we have always acted. If we continue to act as we have always acted, we will continue to get what we have always gotten.
Marilyn Ferguson
A fully functioning employee with a healthy self-image is money in the bank.
Marilyn Ferguson
Making mental connections is our most crucial learning tool, the essence of human intelligence to forge links to go beyond the given to see patterns, relationships, context.
Marilyn Ferguson
It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear . . . . It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to.
Marilyn Ferguson
The other side of every fear is a freedom.
Marilyn Ferguson
The beginning of personal transformation is absurdly easy. We have only to pay attention to the flow of attention itself.
Marilyn Ferguson
