What you have to do, you do with play. The universe is God’s play.

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

The place to find is within yourself.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.

Behind all these manifestations is the one radiance, which shines through all things.

Clearly, mythology is no toy for children. Nor is it a matter of archaic, merely scholarly concern, of no moment to modern men of action. For its symbols (whether in the tangible form of images or in the abstract form of ideas) touch and release the deepest centers of motivation, moving literate and illiterate alike, moving mobs, moving civilizations.

The demon that you can swallow gives you it’s power, and the greater life’s pain, the greater life’s reply.
