"Catch the myth… Catch the mystery, catch the drift…"*

Skywalker Ranch California, lessons from George Lucas to his Star Wars Audience, summer of 1987, Joseph Campbell at age 83:

BILL MOYERS: How does one have a profound experience?

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: By having a profound sense of the mystery.

BILL MOYERS: But if God is the god we have only imagined, how can we stand in awe of our own creation?

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: How can we be terrified by a dream? You have to break past your image of God to get through to the connoted illumination. The psychologist Jung has a relevant saying: “Religion is a defense against the experience of God.”

The mystery has been reduced to a set of concepts and ideas, and emphasizing these concepts and ideas can short-circuit the transcendent, connoted experience. An intense experience of mystery is what one has to regard as the ultimate religious experience.
