  “Developed from a memorable series of lectures delivered in San Francisco, which included a legendary symposium at the Palace of Fine Arts with astronaut Rusty Schweickart, Joseph Campbells last book explores the space age. He examines the new mythology and other questions in these essays which he described as "a broadly shared spiritual adventure."”

  “"the elevation of human will to aims transcendent of this bestial order of life requires, according to the yogic model, an awakening that will not be of the pelvic region..." Parts of this book are hilarious, and Joseph Campbell is pretty amazing, the last of the Renaissance men.”

  “Awesome. One of his best books. Brings together the new discoveries of the universe with the mythological and spiritual (and psychological) realm. Chapter on the "Way of Art" is worth the price all by itself.”

  “Ol' JC kind of gets out on a limb with a few things, but it's a trip, and maybe we are all part of this vibration.”
