Mythologist and writer Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) wrote the now famous words, “Follow your bliss,” published in the classic volume, The Power of Myth. Campbell goes on to say, “Our life has become so economic and practical in its orientation that, as you get older, the claims of the moment on you are so great you hardly know where the hell you are or what it is you intended. You are always doing something that is required of you. Where is our bliss station? You have to try to find it.”
Soul Power Part 5

Living in ego is our comfort zone. There we are in a familiar territory where we think we are safe, OK and happy. But deep inside, there is a nagging feeling that we are not doing what we want to do. So, we wonder what it would be like to finally lead our unled life, go to long-anticipated destinations, discover talents, understand mysteries, and explore relationships. Sadly, our obligations prevent these. Think of the millions who die without really having lived. They held the course; they followed the rules set out by their egos, the egos of others, and suffered, sometimes unaware of their pain and sometimes too aware of it.
