If you really want to help this world, what you will have to teach is how to live in it.

Every myth is psychologically symbolic. Its narratives and images are to be read, therefore, not literally, but as metaphors.

If you can see your path clearly in front of you, it's probably someone else's.

Gods suppressed become devils, and often it is these devils whom we first encounter when we turn inward.

A temple is a landscape of the soul.

The passage of the mythological hero may be over ground, incidentally; fundamentally it is inward--into depths where obscure resistances are overcome, and long lost, forgotten powers are revivified, to be made available for the transfiguration of the world.

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.
