More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Eternity is not the hereafter...this is it. If you don't get it here you won't get it anywhere.
Joseph Campbell
The adventure evoked a quality of his character that he didn't know he possessed.
Joseph Campbell
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.
Joseph Campbell
Poets are simply those who have made a profession and a lifestyle of being in touch with their bliss.
Joseph Campbell
When you are on your path, and it is truly your path, doors will open for you where there were no doors for someone else.
Joseph Campbell
Our true reality is in our identity and unity with all life.
Joseph Campbell
For the bliss of the deep abode is not lightly abandoned in favor of the self-scattering of the wakened state.
Joseph Campbell
I don’t think people are really seeking the meaning of Life. I think we’re seeking an experience of being alive…we want to feel the rapture of being alive
Joseph Campbell
If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.
Joseph Campbell
If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living... Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
Joseph Campbell
Mythology may, in a real sense, be defined as other people's religion. And religion may, in a sense, be understood as popular misunderstanding of mythology. (8)
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
Mythology is the womb of mankind's initiation to life and death.
Joseph Campbell
Any god who can invent hell is no candidate for the Salvation Army
Joseph Campbell
The priests used to say that faith can move mountains, and nobody believed them. Today the scientists say that they can level mountains, and nobody doubts them.
Joseph Campbell
What will they think of me? Must be put aside for bliss
Joseph Campbell
The perfect human being is uninteresting-the Buddha who leaves the world, you know. It is the imperfections of life that are lovable.
Joseph Campbell
The way to find out about your happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you really are happy-not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what I call following your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
Change the focus of the eye. When you have done that, then the end of the world as you formerly knew it will have occurred, and you will experience the radiance of the divine presence everywhere, here and now.
Joseph Campbell
The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.
Joseph Campbell
