The hero’s adventure

Sábado, Marzo 24th, 2007

We have not even to risk the adventure alone
for the heroes of all time have gone before us
the labyrinth is fairly known.
We’ve only to follow the thread of the hero path
and where we have thought to found an abomination
we should find the god,
where we have thought to slave another
we should slave our selves,
where we have thought to travel out there
we should come to the center of our own existence,
where we have thought to be alone
we should be with all the world

The hero’s adventure - Joseph Campbell.

Traducción:
No tenemos ni que arriesgarnos en esta aventura solos
los héroes de tiempos pasados han ido antes que nosotros
el laberinto es de sobra conocido.
Solo tenemos que seguir el hilo del camino del héroe.
Donde pensábamos encontrar abominaciones
encontraremos a dios,
donde pensábamos esclavizar a alguien
debemos esclavizarnos a nosotros mismos,
donde pensábamos viajar lejos
deberemos viajar al centro de nuestra propia existencia,
donde pensábamos estar solos
deberemos estar con todo el mundo.

Participation in divinity

Martes, Febrero 27th, 2007

For the sunset or a mountain and
and the beauty of this or that
you pause and said ‘Wow’,
that is participation in divinity.

From the Upanishads in the mouth of Joseph Campbell (Documental - The Power of Myth: Masks of Eternity).
