Passion will move men beyond themselves, beyond their shortcomings, beyond their failures.
Joseph CampbellWe have today to learn to get back into accord with the wisdom of nature and realize again our brotherhood with the animals and with the water and the sea. To say that divinity informs the world and all things is condemned as pantheism. But pantheism is a misleading word. It suggests that a personal god is supposed to inhabit the world, but that is not the idea at all. The idea is trans-theological. It is of an indefinable, inconceivable mystery, thought of as a power, that is the source and end and supporting ground of all life and being.
Joseph CampbellWe are having experiences all the time which may on occasion render some sense of this, a little intuition of where your bliss is. Grab it. No one can tell you what it is going to be. You have to learn to recognize your own depth.
Joseph CampbellSuddenly youโre ripped into being alive. And life is pain, and life is suffering, and life is horror, but my god youโre alive and its spectacular.
