Excerpts from A Fuller View

By Gary Zukav
Bucky said, “Love is metaphysical gravity.” I agree. What else could it be? Without gravity you would float like an astronaut in a spacecraft. Up and down would mean nothing to you. … Without love the same thing happens. Every experience of anger, jealousy, resentment, and fear sends you spinning out of control.

By Michael Wiese
I had the extreme good fortune to know Bucky, to see him in action, and try to put his teachings into practice. He influenced and changed the direction of my life.

1970 – I am in my early twenties, living in Tokyo, when someone sends me Stewart Brand’s The Whole Earth Catalog. I order all of Bucky’s books and read them in my tiny tatami room. In a world convinced that scarcity is the norm, Bucky is the first person I’ve ever heard who is certain the world holds abundance and by employing design science we can raise the standard of living for everyone. Sitting in a temple in Kyoto, it occurs to me that Bucky may have taken the vow of the bodhisattva.

1972 – I am visiting my folks in Champaign Illinois. I’ve been invited to a luncheon lecture at my mother’s Art Club. As the red Jello is being passed around, the din of silverware on china is hushed by a loud noise as the speaker bangs his shoe on the podium. It is Buckminster Fuller. “It’s 5 minutes to midnight!” “This is humanity’s final exam!” Shocked silence. Inwardly, I cheer, “Go Bucky Go!” Afterwards, I hurry up to meet the great man.

Like many geniuses, Bucky Fuller has left us an extensive and wonderful treasure of quotable statements. Picking one is like being asked to choose one’s favorite food amongst a buffet of culinary delights where each item has its own unique flavor and attraction. It’s a task both difficult and enjoyable at the same time.

By Kevin J. Todeschi
As a longtime resource on the Edgar Cayce information, I would have to say that my favorite Bucky quote is the one-line in which he states, “I am a passenger on the spaceship Earth.” Although it can certainly be seen by some as a simple statement, for me it embodies a rich array of possibilities and truths about the nature of humankind and the interconnectedness of the entire human family.

By John Robbins
The innocence of young people is not a fault to be corrected, nor an ignorance to be educated, but a strength to be celebrated. Sometimes it takes courage to be innocent. Sometimes the truly daring thing to do is to be naive. Bucky’s words remind me that my cynicism can be a trap, that my suspiciousness and defensiveness and know-it-all-ness can blind me, can keep me from awe, wonder and amazement.

Of course it is our task to guide our children so that they may live with respect for themselves and respect for others. But Bucky reminds us that our function is never to seek to impose our limited and limiting beliefs upon them, but rather to help them to develop so they may give the gifts they are here to give, and to receive the gifts that others have for them, as well.

My son, Ocean Robbins, has been a superb teacher for me in this respect. He builds on all that I’ve accomplished. He and I are stunningly compatible in our values and visions. But he goes places I could never go.
