‎"Make your god transparent to the transcendent, and it doesn't matter what his name is."

The black moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come. At the darkest moment comes the light.

Economics and politics are the governing powers of life today, and that's why everything is so screwy.

The hero, whether god or goddess, man or woman, the figure in a myth or the dreamer of a dream discovers and assimilates his opposite (his own unsuspected self) either by swallowing it or by being swallowed.

The rise and fall of civilizations in the long, broad course of history can be seen to have been largely a function of the integrity and cogency of their supporting canons of myth; for not authority but aspiration is the motivator, builder, and transformer of civilization.

Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself... The problem is not to blame or explain but to handle the life that arises... If you say no to a single factor in your life, you have unraveled the whole thing... The demon that you swallow gives you its power, and the greater life's pain, the greater life's reply.

Myth must be kept alive. The people who can keep it alive are the artists of one kind or another.
