<from The Power of myth>

I wrestle against principalities and power.

Man should not submit to the powers from outside but command them. How to do it is the problem.

Humanity comes not from the machine but from the heads, reason and think.

Reason has to do with finding the ground of being and the fundamental structuring of order of the universe.

We have today to learn to get back into accord with the wisdom of nature and realize again our brotherhood with the animals and with the water and the sea.

Something that's characteristic of our sedentary lives is that there is or may be intellectual excitement, but the body is not in it very much. So you have to engage intentionally in mechanical exercises, the daily dozen and so forth. I find it very difficult to enjoy such things, but there it is. Otherwise, your whole body says to you, "Look, you've forgotten me entirely. I'm becoming just a clogged stream."

Darth Vader has not developed his own humanity. He is a robot.

The things to do is learn to live in your period of history as a human being.

May the Force be with you, he's speaking of the power and energy of life, not of programmed political intention.

The commitment goes past your mere intention system.

That's like the belly of the whale that swallowed Jonah.

The belly is the dark place where digestion takes place and new energy is created. The story of Jonah in the whale is an example of a mythic theme. ?That is practically universal, of the hero going into a fish's belly and ultimately coming out again.

Psychologically, the whale represents the power of life locked in the unconscious. Metaphorically, water is the unconscious and the creature in the water is the life or energy of the unconscious, which has overwhelmed the conscious personality and must be dis-empowered, overcome and controlled.
