"The idea of the reincarnating principle is thus of two orders: first, the reincarnating principle that puts on bodies and puts them off as the Moon puts on and puts off its light body; and the other is that princple of sheer light that never dies, the light that is incarnate and immanent in all. Now one of the aims of all the high-culture religions on the Oriental side of the line is to realize one's own identity with that solar light." - Joseph Campbell
