We have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god.
And where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves.
And where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.
— Joseph Campbell (The Power of Myth)

Goes hard!
Campbell always hits different 🙌 A reminder that the journey isn’t new, it’s our turn to walk the same timeless path inward.
Man oh man I loves me some Joseph Campbell.
The path is worn.
Walk it.
Kill not the world, but your old self.
You seek not out there, but in.
And in, you find everyone.
Go.
You belong.

Yes yes
