Here are two quotes from Pathways to Bliss that might be of use: I once overheard the clergyman at an Anglican wedding ceremony say to the couple something like this: “Live your life in such a way that you will merit eternal life in the future.” I thought, Well, that’s not quite correctly phrased. W...

Welcomem, m3atwadd! The question we'd need to ask you is whether you mean enlightenment specifically in the Buddhist sense, or whether you are looking at the more general issue of reaching total fulfillment. Myths of Light does discuss the Buddhist take in some detail, although you can also look at ...

The idea of Buber's--and I'm saying this off of the top of my head, so bear with me--is the idea that there were two ways of relating to God: I/Thou or I/It. It is interesting that Campbell's take on South and East Asian religions is that they add I/I to the list... There's more to it, but I'll leav...

I've been lurking here--I'm sorry I haven't been more present--and enjoying this Conversation. I did want to point out one further resource: the most recent 'new' title in the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series, Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation . Among other things, th...

At the Joseph Campbell Mythology Group , an online group dedicated to exploring myth and Campbell that includes a Yahoo! discussion group, there has been a discussion of this very issue. Richard Wallach, who was an associate of Campbell's, contributed several posts that I though would be germaine. I...

Well, this isn't strictly a refutation, but I do wish to point out that Jews (specifically, young Jewish women) made up something better than half of the student body of Sarah Lawrence during Mr. Campbell's tenure there. So if it was his habit to exclude Jews, I would be shocked. My sense--and it is...

I just wanted to add one thing to what I said, by way of clarification: It seems to me that finding fault with the theology of Judaism does not necessarilly make one anti-Semitic, any more than objecting to the policies of one's head-of-state makes one un-patriotic. <font size=-1>[ This Message was ...

Every Passover, my uncle begins the festivities by asking me if I still work for "that anti-Semitic organization." :sigh: I didn't know Joe personally, so I can't really say, with conviction, that he wasn't an anti-Semite, however you want to define that. I have to say that I haven't seen anything t...
