"…You are not schizophrenic; you are polyphrenic. Indigenous people understand this. You cannot with a limited encapsulated ego hope to solve anything except in a limited encapsulated way… The vision may not be in the same old, same old persona. Switch persona; bring up the other one. The other one has a freedom, a delight, an insouciance and an ebullience that your little local self does not have… Play upon the polyphrenia of your nature… The ancients were serving multiple modes of the psyche… Move from patriarchy to partnership; from dominance by one economic group or culture to circular investedness, and cross the great divide of otherness."
Jean Houston (via tfolsom)
