“The demon that you can swallow gives you its power, and the greater life’s pain, the greater life’s reply.” Mythology pitches the mind beyond that rim, to what can be known but not told.” Beyond images, beyond that bounding rim of the Buddhist Wheel of Becoming. It has been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth–penultimate because the ultimate cannot be put into words. “Mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry, it is metaphorical. “Computers are like Old Testament gods lots of rules and no mercy.” “I always feel uncomfortable when people speak about ordinary mortals because I’ve never met an ordinary man, woman or child.” I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. “People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. “The symbols of mythology and legend are all around us, embedded in the fabric of our daily lives, and the Moyers-Campbell dialogues are a welcome guide to recognizing and understanding their meanings.” - Cincinnati Post.
