Myth and Man Are Distinct in Reading Joseph Campbell

Don’t confuse Campbell’s guideposts to the personal quest for meaning as teachings that are important in themselves. Myth and meaning is everywhere, in the commercials on television as much in the old legends of traditional folklore. Don’t fall into Osbon’s trap of devoting yourself to any individual or system of thought as a replacement for truly independent questing. The answers are out there, but if you don’t find them on your own, you will never truly understand what they mean.
