More quotes by Marilyn Ferguson
We cannot leave the trap until we know we are in it.
Marilyn Ferguson
Love is a context, not a behavior.
Marilyn Ferguson
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
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
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
The other side of every fear is a freedom.
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
Fear is a question What are you afraid of, and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness, because illness contains information, your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore them.
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
Our biggest failure is our failure to see patterns.
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
When one begins the transformative process, death and birth are imminent: the death of custom as authority, the birth of the self.
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
The beginning of personal transformation is absurdly easy. We have only to pay attention to the flow of attention itself.
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 mind aware of itself is a pilot... vastly freer than a passenger mind.
Marilyn Ferguson
Martin Buber said he sensed a rising hunger for relatedness Men would no longer rise in rebellion merely against one oppressor or another but against the distortion of a great yearning, 'the effort towards community.'
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
Spirituality is a kind of virgin wisdom, a knowing that comes prior to experience.
Marilyn Ferguson
Mystical experiences nearly always lead one to a belief that some aspect of consciousness is imperishable. In a Buddhist metaphor the consciousness of the individual is like a flame that burns through the night. It is not the same flame over time, yet neither is it another flame.
