Joseph CampbellThe inner world is the world of your requirements and your energies and your structure and your possibilities that meets the outer world. And the outer world is the field of your incarnation. Thatโs where you are. Youโve got to keep both going. As Novalis said, โThe seat of the soul is there where the inner and outer worlds meet.
