The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature. - Joseph Campbell

It has always been the prime function of mythology and rite to supply the symbols that carry the human spirit forward, in counteraction to those that tend to tie it back. In fact, it may very well be that the very high incidence of neuroticism among ourselves follows the decline among us of such effective spiritual aid. We remain fixated to the unexorcised images of our infancy, and hence disinclined to the necessary passages of our adulthood.

It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.

All men are competent to know the mind of God. There is no revelation special to any people.
