Replying to @JordanTSack @pieratt
Agreed. Not only meaning per se, but also of belonging. A sense of identity is being jeopardized. A re-evaluation of the Sacred is being performed.

Violence is a quest for identity -McLuhan What we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive -Campbell

I have only read excerpts. But i know what i'm losing by not reading it. Also the subjects he touches really interest me. Which ones do you recommend?

“The hero’s journey” is his own personal story/thoughts in an interview format. Reads very quickly. Haven’t gotten to my copy of “the hero with a thousand faces” yet.
