We have not even to risk the adventure alone,
for the heroes of all time have gone before us
The labyrinth is thoroughly known,
We have only to follow the thread of the hero path,
And where we had thought to find an abomination,
we shall find a God,
and where we had thought to slay another,
we shall slay ourselves
Where we had thought to travel outward,
we shall come to the centre of our own existence,
where we had thought to be alone,
we shall be with all the world.Are those not beautiful words? Who said it?

Did you write this? Where did you find this. Very deep and expressive.

> Joseph Campbell?
Wow, you're good, because that must be right .. from his video series. I love learning some of this stuff, or trying to understand it.. it's so true, so real and satisfying, but I need time, and money, to do what I really want, which is what? What? Not what I'm doing, not what is real for me, now.
No.
Take me out of this hellish life I've made for myself. It isn't what I want, it's not what I ever wanted.
What I want, I want to be smarter, more ambitious, different.
I want to be beautiful, and wise, and intelligent.
And I'm not. I'm stupid and I'm ugly and understand and know nothing.

No it was more than a guess.
It was knowledge you have that brought you to the answer.
If I'm not those things, then what am I?
Why can't I grasp a sense of myself for longer than, say, five minutes before it all changes again, and again, and again ...
Like one of those poor creatures on the old Star Trek series,
something that changes and can't keep the same form ...

i feel the same way... am I like this or that? Do I want this or that? Am I intelligent enough to do this? Am I what I wanted to be? Not really, but I deal with today and I deal with what I can be and do today. Be you Susan, thats all you need to be!
