Do any of you think Campbell might approve (with reservations of course) of what this chap seems to be trying to do, in his attempt to inform his own understanding of Catholicism with "Far Eastern" (a vague term, but still...) ways of thinking?
I find his efforts to be a bit sophomoric, but at least he's trying to expand the conventional boundaries of his conventional mythology.
I especially appreciate this bit he wrote:
...although I don't entirely agree with what he wrote after those lines. But the above lines seem very Campbellian to me.What is Hell but a place where one cries because no one is there that can be wholly consoling, yet where one is indeed left free to cry in any manner that one desires? What is Heaven, by contrast, but a place where one does not cry because there is the One who is wholly and completely consoling, yet where one is indeed not free to cry in manner whatsoever?....
