Risk and Dreams
"But if a person has had the sense of the Call -- the feeling that there's an adventure for him -- and if he doesn't follow that, but remains in the society because it's safe and secure, then life dries up. If you have the guts to follow the risk, however, life opens, opens, opens up all along the line. I feel that if one follows what I call one's "bliss" -- the thing that really gets you deep in your gut and that you feel is your life -- doors will open up. They do! They have in my life and they have in many lives that I know of." ~Joseph Campbell

Transformation
"What all myths have to deal with is transformation of consciousness. You have been thinking one way. You now have to think a different way. Consciousness is transformed either by the trials themselves or by illuminating revelations. Trials and revelations are what it's all about." Joseph Campbell

Death
"The secret cause of all suffering is mortality itself, which is the prime conditions of life. It cannot be denied if life is to be affirmed...The conquest of fear of death is the recovery of life's joy." Joseph Campbell

Life's Adventure
"We have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known. We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god. And where we had thought to slay one another, we shall slay ourselves. Where we had thought to travel outward, we will come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we will be with all the world." Joseph Campbell
