Eternity is not the hereafter...this is it. If you don't get it here you won't get it anywhere.
Joseph CampbellThe ultimate aim of the quest must be neither release nor ecstasy for oneself, but the wisdom and the power to serve others.
Joseph CampbellThe problem of making the inner meet the outer of today is, of course, the function of the artist.
Joseph CampbellIs the god the source, or is the god a human manner of conceiving of the force and energy that supports the world? In our tradition God is a male. This male and female differentiation is made, however, within the field of time and space, the field of duality. If God is beyond duality, you cannot say that God is a "He." You cannot say God is a "She." You cannot say God is an "It." (18)
