More quotes by Joseph Campbell
It's a shame to waste [the uniqueness that is you], by doing what someone else has done.
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
Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.
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
Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
Joseph Campbell
I don’t think there is any such thing as an ordinary mortal. Everybody has his own possibility of rapture in the experience of life. All he has to do is recognize it and then cultivate it and get going with it. I always feel uncomfortable when people speak about ordinary mortals because I’ve never met an ordinary man, woman, or child.
Joseph Campbell
This is an essential experience of any mystical realization. You die to your flesh and are born into your spirit. You identify yourself with the consciousness and life of which your body is but the vehicle. You die to the vehicle and become identified in your consciousness with that of which the vehicle is but the carrier. That is the God.
Joseph Campbell
Behind all these manifestations is the one radiance, which shines through all things.
Joseph Campbell
Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
When people find out what it is that's ticking in them, they get straightened out.
Joseph Campbell
All we really want to do is dance.
Joseph Campbell
To find your own way is to follow your bliss. This involves analysis, watching yourself and seeing where real deep bliss is -- not the quick little excitement , but the real deep, life-filling bliss.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity is not a long time rather, it is another dimension. It is that dimension to which time-thinking shuts us. And so there never was a creation. Rather, there is a continuous creating going on. This energy is pouring into every cell of our being right now, every board and brick of the buildings we sit in, every grain of sand and wisp of wind.
Joseph Campbell
How teach again, however, what has been taught correctly and incorrectly learned a thousand thousand times, throughout the millenniums of mankind's prudent folly? That is the hero's ultimate difficult task.
Joseph Campbell
First you must find your trajectory, and then comes the social coordination.
Joseph Campbell
When you are falling --- Dive!
Joseph Campbell
Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance regrets are illuminations come too late.
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
I think what we lack isn't science, but poetry that reveals what the heart is ready to recognize
Joseph Campbell
When you no longer are compelled by desire and fear . . . when you have seen the radiance in eternity from all forms of time . . . when you follow your bliss . . . doors will open where you would not have thought there were doors . . . and the world will step in and help.
Joseph Campbell
