Quote #1
The unconscious sends all sorts of vapors, odd beings, terrors, and deluding images up into the mind—whether in dream, broad daylight, or insanity; for the human kingdom, beneath the floor of the comparatively neat little dwelling that we call our consciousness, goes down into unsuspected Aladdin caves. There not only jewels but also dangerous jinn abide: the inconvenient or resisted psychological powers that we have not thought or dared to integrate into our lives. (7.4)
There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy, and we're not normally aware of them in our day-to-day lives. But the subconscious is, and through our dreams—and from the stories that come from dreams—we can start to understand the universe beyond our perceptions.
Quote #2
Modern literature is devoted, in great measure, to a courageous, open-eyed observation of the sickeningly broken figurations that abound before us, around us, and within. (25.3)
Campbell takes a big dig at the modern world here, in part because it cuts us off from real spirituality: a communing with the universe that needs to take place if we're going to truly understand what it is to be alive.
Quote #3
With that reliance for support, one endures the crisis—only to find, in the end, that the father and mother reflect each other, and are in essence the same. (120.1)
Spirituality in The Hero with a Thousand Faces is all about unity: realizing that we're not so different and that the "other" we keep demonizing and fighting is really just another part of ourselves. That goes for mom and dad too… even when mom and dad seem to be fighting.
