The privilege of a lifetime is being

who you are

The goal of the hero trip

down to the jewel point

is to find those levels in the psyche

that open, open, open,

and finally open to the mystery

of your Self

being Buddha consciousness

or the Christ.

That's the journey.

Take this journey with Joseph Campbell in A Joseph Campbell's Companion. On every page you'll find the words of Joseph Campbell from his Esalen Institute lectures supplemented by relevant excerpts from his past writings and the writings of others he often quoted to illuminate his work.
