More quotes by 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
The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.
Joseph Campbell
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
Joseph Campbell
The inner world is the world of your requirements and your energies and your structure and your possibilities that meets the outer world. And the outer world is the field of your incarnation. That’s where you are. You’ve got to keep both going. As Novalis said, ‘The seat of the soul is there where the inner and outer worlds meet.
Joseph Campbell
The folktale is the primer of the picture-language of the soul.
Joseph Campbell
A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. A goal is what specifically you intend to make happen. Dreams and goals should be just out of your present reach but not out of sight. Dreams and goals are coming attractions in your life.
Joseph Campbell
Your adventure has to be coming out of your own interior. If you are ready for it then doors will open where there were no doors before, and where there would not be doors for anyone else. And you must have courage. It's the call to adventure, which means there is no security, no rules.
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
If we fix on the old, we get stuck.
Joseph Campbell
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
Joseph Campbell
First you must find your trajectory, and then comes the social coordination.
Joseph Campbell
Privation and suffering alone open the mind to all that is hidden to others. (Igjugarjuk)
Joseph Campbell
There is no security in following the call to adventure.
Joseph Campbell
Have you ever looked inside one of those things [computers]? It's a whole hierarchy of angels- all on slats. And those little tubes-those are miracles.
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
When your mind is simply trapped by the image out there so that you never make the reference to yourself, you have misread the image.
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 principle of compassion is that which converts disillusionment into a participatory companionship. This is the basic love, the charity, that turns a critic into a living human being who has something to give to - as well as to demand of - the world.
Joseph Campbell
The perfect human being is uninteresting.
Joseph Campbell
Where you stumble, there lies your treasure. The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for. The damned thing in the cave that was so dreaded has become the center.
Joseph Campbell
