Joseph Campbell

 My favorite quotes from Joseph Campbell, author of 'Power of Myth'

Incorporated with some photos from real-life blogs.

1.

" We are having experiences all the time which may on occasion render some sense of this, a little intuition of where your bliss is. Grab it."

"No one can tell you what it is going to be. 

You have to learn to recognize your own depth.

All the time. "

"It is miraculous.  

I even have a superstition that has grown on me as the result of invisible hands coming all the time-namely, 

that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, 

waiting for you, 

and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. 

When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, 

and they open the doors to you. "

"  I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid,  

and doors will open where 

you didn't know they were going to be. "

2.

 "  People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. 

I don't think that's what we're really seeking.  

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 within our own innermost being 

and reality, so that we  

actually feel the rapture of being alive.

....That's what it's all finally about, and that's what these clues help us to find within ourselves. "
