Joseph Campbell Quotes
~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.
~The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
~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.
~The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.
~I don't have to have faith, I have experience.
~The experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life. Heaven is not the place to have the experience; here is the place to have the experience.
~All the gods, all the heavens, all the hells, are within you.
~Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.
~When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.
~When you realize that eternity is right here now, that it is within your possibility to experience the eternity of your own truth and being, then you grasp the following: That which you are was never born and will never die. . . .
~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.
~The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really 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 is called following your bliss
