Overview

The privilege of a lifetime is being

who you are

 

The goal of the hero trip

is to find those levels in the psyche

that open, open, open,

and finally open to the mystery

of your Self

being Buddha consciousness

or the Christ.

 

That’s the journey.

About the Author

Joseph Campbell (1904–1987) wrote classics including The Hero with a Thousand Faces, the four-volume The Masks of God, and Myths to Live By. His televised interview with Bill Moyers introduced his views to millions. Campbell’s interest in mythology was sparked by his love of reading about American Indians and visits to New York City’s American Museum of Natural History.
