The Myth of the Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell
The problem in middle life,
when the body has reached
its climax of power
and begins to decline
is to identify yourself,
not with the body,
which is falling away,
but with the consciousness
of which the body is a vehicle.
This is something I learned from myths.
What am I?
Am I the bulb that carries the light?
Or am I the light of which
the bulb is a vehicle?
— Joseph Campbell
