Marilyn Ferguson quotes about
learning essence tools
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.
stress years body
Over the years your bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of your lives.
teaching learning mind
The mind aware of itself is a pilot... vastly freer than a passenger mind.
oxygen water mind
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.
dream technology tools
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.
personal-transformation attention pay
The beginning of personal transformation is absurdly easy. We have only to pay attention to the flow of attention itself.
tree mind west
The East contemplated the forest the West counted the trees...the mind that knows that trees and the forest is a new mind.
patterns
Our biggest failure is our failure to see patterns.
effort brain littles
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.
journey finals transformation
Transformation is a journey without a final destination.
teaching learning two
We have two strategies for coping; the way of avoidance or the way of attention.
learning ideas people
Those who have most at stake in the old culture, or are most rigid in their beliefs, try to summon people back to the old ideas.'
taken simple reality
General Systems Theory, a related modern concept [to holism], says that each variable in any system interacts with the other variables so thoroughly that cause and effect cannot be separated. A simple variable can be both cause and effect. Reality will not be still. And it cannot be taken apart! You cannot understand a cell, a rat, a brain structure, a family, a culture if you isolate it from its context. Relationship is everything.
feelings layers belief
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.
