More quotes by Marilyn Ferguson
Things fall apart, so they can fall together at a higher level of order.
Marilyn Ferguson
Before we choose our tools and technology, we must choose our dreams and values, for some technologies serve them, while others make them more unobtainable.
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
The mind aware of itself is a pilot... vastly freer than a passenger mind.
Marilyn Ferguson
The beginning of personal transformation is absurdly easy. We have only to pay attention to the flow of attention itself.
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
We cannot leave the trap until we know we are in it.
Marilyn Ferguson
Spirituality is a kind of virgin wisdom, a knowing that comes prior to experience.
Marilyn Ferguson
The creative process requires chaos before form emerges.
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
A fully functioning employee with a healthy self-image is money in the bank.
Marilyn Ferguson
An atmosphere of trust, love, and humor can nourish extraordinary human capacity. One key is authenticity: parents acting as people, not as roles.
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
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
Power is a central issue in social and personal transformation. Our sources and uses of power set our boundaries, give form to our relationships, even determine how much we let ourselves liberate and express aspects of the self. More than party registration, more than our purported philosophy or ideology, personal power defines our politics.
Marilyn Ferguson
The difference between transformation by accident and transformation by a system is like the difference between lightning and a lamp. Both give illumination, but one is dangerous and unreliable, while the other is relatively safe, directed, available.
Marilyn Ferguson
Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future.
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
We live what we know. If we believe the universe and ourselves to be mechanical, we will live mechanically.
Marilyn Ferguson
