Joseph Campbell
We 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 Campbell
For we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heros of all time have gone before us.

Joseph Campbell
Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity isn't some later time. Eternity isn't a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now which thinking and time cuts out. This is it. And if you don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere. And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.
Joseph Campbell
When you realize that eternity is right here now, that it is within your possibility to experience the eternity of your own truth and being, then you grasp the following: That which you are was never born and will never die. . . . (90)
Joseph Campbell
If you want the whole thing, the gods will give it to you. But you must be ready for it.
Joseph Campbell
There is a condescension on the part of the infinite to the mind of man. That is what looks like God.
Joseph Campbell
So that's what destiny is: simply the fulfillment of the potentialites of the energies in your own system.
Joseph Campbell
The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.
Joseph Campbell
We 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.
Joseph Campbell
