It would not be too much to say that myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation. Religions, philosophies, arts, the social forms of primitive and historic man, prime discoveries in science and technology, the very dreams that blister sleep, boil up from the basic, magic ring of myth.

It's a shame to waste [the uniqueness that is you], by doing what someone else has done.

We have to permit go with the everyday living we had prepared so as to have the lifetime that's watching for us

I think it's important to live life with a knowledge of its mystery, and of your own mystery.

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

The ego is as you think of yourself. You in relation to all the commitments of your life, as you understand them. The self is the whole range of possibilities that you've never even thought of. And you're stuck with you're past when you're stuck with the ego. Because if all you know about yourself is what you found out about yourself, well, that already happened. The self is a whole field of potentialities to come through.

You have to strive every minute to get rid of the life that you have planned in order to have the life that's waiting to be yours. Move, move, move.
