" The primitive mentality does not invent myths it experiences them. Myths are original revelations of the preconscience psyche, involuntary statements about the unconscious psychic happenings, and anything but allegories of physical process."- Carl Jung, The Archetypes And The Collective Unconscious p.154

"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; 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 "Power of the Myth
