More quotes by Joseph Campbell
The entire heavenly realm is within us, but to find it we have to relate to what's outside.
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
It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
Joseph Campbell
When you follow your bliss a kind of track opens up, that's always been there, waiting for you. And the life that you should be living, is the one that you will be living.
Joseph Campbell
We're all seeking...the rapture of being alive.
Joseph Campbell
I don't need faith. I have experience.
Joseph Campbell
Money is congealed energy, and releasing it releases life's possibilities.
Joseph Campbell
At such moments, you realize that you and the other are, in fact, one. It's a big realization. Survival is the second law of life. The first is that we are all one.
Joseph Campbell
Just as anyone who listens to the muse will hear, you can write out of your own intention or out of inspiration. There is such a thing. It comes up and talks. And those who have heard deeply the rhythms and hymns of the gods, can recite those hymns in such a way that the gods will be attracted.
Joseph Campbell
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.
Joseph Campbell
Myth is much more important and true than history. History is just journalism and you know how reliable that is.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity is not future or past. Eternity is a dimension of now. It is a dimension of the human spirit -- which is eternal. Find that eternal dimension in yourself, and you will ride through time, and throughout the whole length of your days.
Joseph Campbell
If you are on the right path you will find that invisible hands are helping.
Joseph Campbell
Privation and suffering alone open the mind to all that is hidden to others. (Igjugarjuk)
Joseph Campbell
What will they think of me? Must be put aside for bliss
Joseph Campbell
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come. -
Joseph Campbell
Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair has to do with immediate personal satisfaction. Marriage is an ordeal it means yielding, time and again. That's why it's a sacrament You give up your personal simplicity to participate in a relationship. And when you're giving, you're not giving to the other person you're giving to the relationship.
Joseph Campbell
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
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
If you follow your bliss you will find a path laid out before you that has been waiting for you all along and you will begin to live the life you ought to be living.
Joseph Campbell
