It’s all so interesting to consider all these things, beautiful thoughts of mythicological understanding. Yes we have a limited life span but our bodies are really directly connected to the first emergence of life on Earth 4.6 billion years ago and if Earth was seeded by Mars where was Mars seeded from? Anyway we can feel a primordial connection. But what is this? You could go on and write many books about it and still miss the point. Joseph Campbell himself himself sort of complained that after a lifetime of study and giving lectures that he missed the mark, that he had failed to achieve a spiritual enlightenment, Oneness with everything, knowing beyond the illusions of this world he never experienced but only has his belief that this is true.
So what do we have? Myth, faith, religion can help us and it is very interesting. But if this is what you’re thinking all the time it may hold you back. Just let everything go, leave your interjections behind and just walk the path. This is why intellectuals are generally the last to have direct insight.
