“The popular prophets have underestimated how strange the truth can be. The human brain, that 'perfect instrument,' that 'fabulous electronic dance,' can be our open sesame to an infinitely richer life than we have believed possible. The fluent, liberating, creative, healing attributes of the altered states can be incorporated into consciousness. We are just beginning to realize that we can truly open the doors of perception and creep out of the cavern.” HumansStatesRealizingPerfectHealingBrainConsciousnessCreativeDoorsStrangePerceptionInstrumentsProphetAttributesFabulousLiberatingCreepsAlteredHuman BrainUnderestimatedFluentCavernsDoors Of PerceptionAltered States Author:Marilyn Ferguson
“The brain's calculations do not require our conscious effort, only our attention and our openness to let the information through.

“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.” IfsStillsRealityCultureCausesSimpleBrainTakenModernEffectsTheoryConceptsStructureCellsRelatedRatsCause And EffectVariablesHolismSystems Theory Author:Marilyn Ferguson
