Mythology is an organization of images metaphoric of experience, action, and fulfillment of the human spirit in the field of a given culture at a given time.
When the symbols are interpreted spiritually rather than concretely, then they yield the revelation.
The only myth that is going to be worth thinking about in the immediate future is one that is talking about the planet-not the city, not these people, but the planet and everybody on it. That is my main thought for what the future myth is going to be.
One blogger quoted Campbell (Click here)
Myths are the world’s dreams. They are archetypal dreams and deal with great human problems. Myths and dreams come from the same place. They come from realizations of some kind that then have to find expression in symbolic form.
- Joseph Campbell
This, my friends, is the role of the modern artist; to mold and assimilate these collective myths and dreams of ours into the physical world of expression.
From Carl Gustav Jung
God always speaks metaphorically.
What is the use of a religion without a mythos, since religion means, if anything at all, precisely that function which links us back to the eternal myth?
The myth of the hero . . . is first and foremost a self-representation of the longing of the unconscius, of its unquenched and unquenchable desire for the light of the consciousness. But consciousness, continually in danger of being led astray by its own light and of becoming a rotless will o’ the wisp, longs for the healing power of Nature, for the deep wells of being and for unconscious communion with life in all its countless forms.
Only the mystics bring creativity into religion.
