Very nice!



Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.
Joseph Campbell

God is a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
Joseph Campbell

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.
Joseph Campbell

We need new ways to talk about "belief" and "unbelief". We need a realistic and loving liberal religion that even an Atheist can love. ---Rev Brian Covell, www.thirdunitarianchurch.org

Reflections on the Art of Living, A Joseph Campbell Companion

It's one of my favorite books - I often read a few pages before going to sleep, almost like a Bible to me =) It should be available in any major bookstore or online www.amazon.com/Reflections-Art-Living-C ... 0060926171
