    Haha you need to watch The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers interviewing Joseph Campbell....after hearing him speak everything seems a lot more clear.

    Amazon.com: Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth: Joseph Campbell (III), Bill Moyers: Movies & TV

    You'll be blown away at how much insight Campbell had, my friend introduced Joseph Campbell to me and I am still awestruck at his way of thinking, it makes so much sense.

    What you posted made plenty of sense. I'll try and check that link out when I have some time. Even though I'm a godless heathen, I'm still very interested in all things spiritual. I guess I'm waiting for someone to convert me or something, but it's yet to happen. I do spend a good deal of time thinking about these things though, my best friend, who is a Christian, lent me an interesting book on Christian apologetics.

    The great thing about Campbell is that he ties in ALL theologies and mythologies as one. It's the metaphors that make sacred books so sacred and those are what he talks about and you learn from. He wasn't a Christian or of any ethos imparticular to my knowledge, he was a student of all religions and tied them all together and that is what amazes me. Everything he says makes sense, check it out, ESPECIALLY as a "godless heathen" he'll make you feel comfortable with your own thoughts and feelings as well.

    Campbell explained that he may never have a spiritual rapture like the Saints of Christianity but that his purpose was to understand the lessons, values, and morals of other religions. He's not pro or con any religion, the video was made in the 1980's during a time of trouble in Lebanon and he said "It's sad, the Muslims, Christians, and Jews are all fighting over the same set of metaphors just under different names"

    I can definitely relate to/agree with that. I'll check out the dvd.
