1) Just as dreams help us to determine our identity as individuals and tribal myths help to establish a tribe's identity, so world mythology, considered as a whole, is the eternal story of humanity's quest for self-fulfillment in the face of entropy. Entropy is the universal tendency toward expansion.

3) Of the four functions of a living mythology according to Joseph Campbell, the Cosmological Function is the function of a mythology that guides the individual through life, assisting with the moments of passage from stage to stage and guiding through the turbulent emotions that accompany those changes. A human life follows a general pattern, and when this pattern is not honored at the important nodal points via ritual and story or any other variation of marking, then what results is the feeling of being adrift, bereft, or lost. But within the embrace of a living mythology, an individual is acutely aware of the passage of time and the rich play of a life along the banks of that pulsing chronological river.

7) Images of the spiral, of weaving (spinning wheels and looms), of the emergence of light from shadow, or of the phases of the Moon would be symbolic of the consciousness of the passage from one mode of being into another (from the "unformed," the shadow, into the "formed," the light). On the ontological level, these indicate the dawning of consciousness: Mankind developing a consciousness, that is, becoming aware, awakening from the long animal sleep of Edenic oneness with Nature.

13) Another concept late to the history of philosophy is transcendence and freedom. These ideas were current in ancient culture in the form of symbols for magical flight and celestial ascent.

Mountains are used to symbolize this boundary that needed to be crossed to achieve success.

29) Carl Jung believed that the interplay between two selves -- an outer public self that was involved with the world of his family and peers and a secret inner self that felt a special closeness to God -- formed a central theme of his personal life and contributed to his later emphasis on the individual's striving for integration and wholeness. His discovery of the Archetypes as the continually reoccurring themes of myths, legends, symbols, sign systems and religious systems forms the basic structure of how we define ourselves and the world around us.

35) "Numinous" is the word used to describe the fundamental experience common to all religions -- namely that sense of awe and exaltation created by the feeling of being in the presence of the Creator. This kind of arousal is very similar to various emotional experiences: sexual desire, anger, fear, and various kinds of excitement. All of these are associated with increased heart rate, raised blood pressure, increased muscular tension, changes in the amplitude and frequency of the brain waves, piloerection (the hair standing on end), dilation of the pupil of the eye, and respiratory changes.

36) Some of the best examples of the mandala in symbolic form occur in Tantric art and in the rose window of cathedrals. But other symbols of this balance of opposites include the serpent (symbol of the chthonic shadows and the non-manifested) and the eagle (symbol of the solar light and the manifested), or the Chinese diagram of the Yin-Yang, or the paradoxical coexistence, in the same divinity of polar and antagonistic principles. Even on the physical level of how our brains map where we are in time and space we have the polarities of east/west, north/south, left/right, above/below, the past (which we feel to be behind us), and the future (which we feel to be in front of us).

Frazer, The Golden Bough (first edition 1890), was a description of the long evolution by which the thoughts and efforts of man have passed through the successive stages of magic, religion, and science.

49) As the consciousness of the individual rests on a sea of night into which it descends in slumber and out of which it mysteriously wakes, so, in the imagery of myth, the universe is precipitated out of, and reposes upon, a timelessness back into which it again dissolves. The Hindus represent this mystery in the holy syllable MAOT. (In Sanskrit, A and O change to U in Western translation hence the spelling of MUT.) Here the sound M represents waking consciousness; U, dream consciousness; and T, deep sleep. The silence surrounding the syllable is the unknown: it is called simply "The Silence." This great cycle is called a Cthonic Labyrinth.
