Re: Mind's Eye Re: Book "I am that"

Molly, I love this quote from Campbell. And yes many have noticed that the mystical aspect of all the different religious traditions are all saying the same things with different words. I didn't actually realize that until I'd read the work of several others who had noticed it!

I'm a little slow but I get there

:-)

[T]he universal doctrine teaches that all the visible structures of the world ... are the effects of a ubiquitous power out of which they rise, which supports and fills them during their manifestation, and back into which they must ultimately dissolve. This is the power known to science as energy, to the Melanesians as mana, to the Sioux Indians as wakonda, the Hindus as Shakti, and the Christians as the power of God. - Joseph Campbell

Found this in my mail box today.  Thought it might apply to this thread.  I don't really concern myself with the how or why or when of life any more.  I have noticed that most of the religious traditions have a mystical aspect, and, as Joseph Campbell says here, they all say the same thing with different words.
