Marilyn Ferguson
Cultural transformation announces itself in sputtering fits and starts, sparked here and there by minor incidents, warmed by new ideas that may smolder for decades. In many different places, at different times, the kindling is laid for the real conflagration-the one that will consume the old landmarks and alter the landscape forever.
Marilyn Ferguson
The creative process requires chaos before form emerges.
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

Marilyn Ferguson
Spirituality is a kind of virgin wisdom, a knowing that comes prior to experience.
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
