Image
Things fall apart, so they can fall together at a higher level of order.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
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
Image
Love is a context, not a behavior.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
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
Image
Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
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
Image
...As Thomas Kuhn pointed out in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, new scientific theories in any field are regarded with skepticism because scientists become attached to the old perspective earlier in their careers.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
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
Image
We live what we know. If we believe the universe and ourselves to be mechanical, we will live mechanically.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
When one begins the transformative process, death and birth are imminent: the death of custom as authority, the birth of the self.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
The person and society are yoked, like mind and body. Arguing which is more important is like debating whether oxygen or hydrogen is the more essential property of water.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
We cannot leave the trap until we know we are in it.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
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
Image
Our biggest failure is our failure to see patterns.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
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
Image
The mind aware of itself is a pilot... vastly freer than a passenger mind.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
Spirituality is a kind of virgin wisdom, a knowing that comes prior to experience.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
Of all the self-fulfilling prophecies in our culture, the assumption that aging means decline and poor health is probably the deadliest.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
The beginning of personal transformation is absurdly easy. We have only to pay attention to the flow of attention itself.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
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.
