  • That "one mythology ...

    That "one mythology" thing, there's a lecture where he is talking about kundalini yoga: He says, take this watch on my wrist , draw a circle around it, pretend you don't know what it does. The mystery of this watch is the same as the mystery of your being

    "Anything can be dissociated from it's concept context and regarded in the dimension of it's mystery". Then he pauses and says "...and there is only one mystery" :):):)

  • the reason that ...

    the reason that there is more than one religion is because there's more than one society- campbell says that every society creates a system that works for itself. An tropical agricultural system isn't going to have the same concepts as an Eskimo hunting culture, for example. Check out his books, I think you'd really love them!
