Metaphorâ??s Dance

[Occult Forum Archive]

Original post: RonPrice


The dream-web of myth has fallen away; modern man has emerged from ancient consciousness like a butterfly from its cocoon, or like the sun at dawn. The great coordinating mythologies of the past are now known as lies. The problem today is one of rendering the modern world spiritually significant. A transmutation of the whole social world is necessary so that through every detail of secular life the vitalizing image of the universal god-man who is effective in all of us may be somehow made known to consciousness. -With apprecation to Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand Faces, Princeton UP, 1949, NY, pp.387-389.

This vitalizing image of my universal god
that fills every atom of existence with a
richly allusive, poetic imagery, a metaphor,
a drama, for my path of spirituality, with
this man-god, this life, these words, at one
remove from what I see here, unlocking a
meaning, I must turn the key to open the
door of an autonomy of spirit in this world
of people and, like the butterfly, fly free
and light to suck yet again the nectar of
life on a flight-path carved out by destiny,
biology and fate: slowly, meticulously,
wittingly, methodically, until death removes
the colour, the form and the dance of life.

Joseph Campbell, Baha'i AND you're an Ex-pat living abroad? So tell us, Ron, how long HAVE you been working for the Rockefellers and Rothschilds and their NWO cabal now?...

No really, glad to have you aboard. Your input should bring a level of maturity and wisdom to this forum.
