Donald Johanson
American Scientist
I find a tremendous receptivity among the public for the subject matter of, 'Where did we come from and how did we get here?' People are thirsty and hungry for information on our origins. I feel a responsibility as a major figure in the area... to convey to the public the knowledge of human origins in a way that is understandable to them.
Quote examples
Tyler Henry
American Entertainer
I think I just grew up with this receptivity that a lot of people might shut down at an early age because of the influences around them. I didn't really have that, so it just allowed me to trust what I see, hear and feel a lot more. It allowed me to have more confidence in going with my gut.
Quote examples
Rudolf Steiner
Austrian Philosopher

Quote examples

American Clergyman
Schooling people in the ways of ongoing discernment produces a greater receptivity to the tradition of the church and at the same time creates the freedom that will make them more responsive to the will of God throughout their lives.
