Mythology Begins Where Madness Starts
By: Joseph Campbell
The way to find your own myth is to determine those traditional symbols that speak to you and use them, you might say, as bases for meditation. Let then work on you.
—Joseph Campbell
Mythological images are the images by which the consciousness is put in touch with the unconscious. That’s what they are. When you don’t have your mythological images, or when your consciousness rejects them for some reason or other, you are out of touch with your own deepest part.
