"I don’t think the meaning of life is what we’re seeking. I think it’s an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have residences within our own innermost being in reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive." -- Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

The meaning of life isn't what we're seeking?

Isn't meaning what makes life worthwhile, at least, or especially, from the perspective of a depth-psychological-mythologist?

In this episode, I take up these questions and Campbell's claim with the aid some stories found in his book Myths To Live By.
