Myths of Light Mythic Existence with Jack Daly

- History
Today's episode is a discussion of Joseph Campbell's book: Myths of Light, which serves as an introduction to Eastern philosophy and had a profound influence on my spiritual journey. The ineffable mystery of the East is summed up by a short phrase in the Upanishads: tat tvam asi, that art thou. You are what you want to know, you are the world, and the world is you. Everything is connected, everything is one. From this base point, we launch into a fascinating discussion of Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Listen in to another fascinating episode of mythic existence, and remember what Schopenhauer said after discovering the wisdom of the Orient: "man is the truth above all truths; there is nothing above that."
