GOD

"We want to think about God
God is thought
God is an idea
But its reference is to something that transcends all thinking.

He’s beyond being
Beyond the category of being and non-being
Is he or is he not?
Neither is, nor is not!

Every God, every mythology, every religion is true in this sense:
It is true as metaphorical of the human and cosmic mystery.

He, who thinks he knows, doesn’t know. He who knows he doesn’t know . . . knows!

There is an old story that is still good - the story of the quest . . . the spiritual quest to find the inward thing that you basically are.

All of the symbols of mythology refer to YOU. Have YOU been reborn? Have YOU died to your animal nature and come to life as a human incarnation?

You ARE God in your deepest identity.

You are one with the transcendent".

JOSEPH CAMPBELL
President of the American Society for the Study of Religion

“The images of God are many,” said Joseph Campbell. He called them “the Masks of Eternity” and said, “They both cover and reveal the face of glory. All our names and images for God are masks; they signify that ultimate reality which by definition transcends language and art. A myth is a mask of God too – a metaphor for what lies behind the visible world”.

With these words, Joseph Campbell eloquently makes the case “Jesus is a Myth”.
