comparison. I read it only once and need again the whole text for a decent reply.
Thank you
Sorry Ercan it was not me (at least I don't think so).
I did a search on "trickster" and apparently I have not used that term.
AL - in a reply to me did though.

Hello, this long quote is certainly from Joseph Campbell but i don't know exactly where
he tells his own beautiful version of 'Conference of Birds' by Farid ad-Din Attar.
Any ideas?
I just googled the opening couple of sentences - and came across this: http://www.drjohncervantes.com/PDF/The_ ... _Faces.pdf
I don't know if dr john is associated with jcf, but there could be some copyright issues here.

" Life as an art and art as a game as an action for it's own sake, without thought of gain or loss, praise or blame - is the key, then, to the turning of living itself into a yoga, and art into the means to such a life. "
This came up on the homepage quotes the other day and I had to copy it down. I didn't think to look for the source at the time. I can't remember where I first saw it. I think it might be: " The Hero's Journey "; " Reflections on the Art of Living - A Joseph Campbell Companion "; or " Pathways To Bliss ".

Nothing can replace experience; the experience of life is not something that we
can transmit intellectually -by way of words or equations. Thank you for 'meaningful' reminder, James
So you do have Campbell's Pathways to Bliss and Companion? In light of what we've talked about together recently, I've been planning to suggest these books to you. I go ahead and mention it now so I don't forget; I'm still playing catch-up with PMs. Sorry.
And this Jung book, too, Memories, Dreams, Reflections.
Look for me again soon.

P.S. Please visit the JCF Bookstore should you decide to make a purchase.
If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s. --Jung
This stuck out as I read it again the other day. From Hero;
"Guided by the practical judgement of the kings and the instruction of the priests of the dice of devine revelation, the field of consciousness so contracts that the grand lines of the human comedy are lost in a welter of cross-purposes. Men's perspectives become flat, comprehending only the light-reflecting, tangible surfaces of existence."
