More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Behind all these manifestations is the one radiance, which shines through all things.
Joseph Campbell
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.
Joseph Campbell
There's something inside you that knows when you're in the center, that knows when you're on the beam or off the beam. And if you get off the beam to earn money, you've lost your life. And if you stay in the center and don't get any money, you still have your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
The world is full of people who have stopped listening to themselves or have listened only to their neighbors to learn what they ought to do, how they ought to behave, and what the values are they should be living for.
Joseph Campbell
The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. Fear of the unknown is our greatest fear. Many of us would enter a tiger's lair before we would enter a dark cave. While caution is a useful instinct, we lose many opportunities and much of the adventure of life if we fail to support the curious explorer within us.
Joseph Campbell
Awe is what moves us forward.
Joseph Campbell
God is within you. You yourself are your creator. If you find that place in yourself from which you brought this thing about, you will be able to live with it and affirm it, perhaps even enjoy it, as your life.
Joseph Campbell
God is the experience of looking at a tree and saying, 'Ah!
Joseph Campbell
One great thing about growing old is that nothing is going to lead to anything. Everything is of the moment.
Joseph Campbell
Perhaps some of us have to go through dark and devious ways before we can find the river of peace or the highroad to the soul's destination.
Joseph Campbell
Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life.
Joseph Campbell
One can experience an unconditional affirmation of life only when one has accepted death, not as contrary to life, but as an aspect of it.
Joseph Campbell
The ultimate dragon is within you, it is your ego clamping you down.
Joseph Campbell
I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave.
Joseph Campbell
If we fix on the old, we get stuck.
Joseph Campbell
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
Joseph Campbell
Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life
Joseph Campbell
How do you find the divine power in yourself? The word enthusiasm means 'filled with a god,' so what makes you enthusiastic? Follow it. So I have a little word: follow your bliss. The bliss is the message of God to yourself. That's where your life is.
Joseph Campbell
The courage to face the trials and to bring a whole new body of possibilities into the field of interpreted experience for other people to experience - that is the hero's deed.
Joseph Campbell
The seat of the soul is where the inner world and the outer world meet.
Joseph Campbell
