Notes:

Joseph Campbell: “life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends.”

Joseph Campbell: there's a lot of magic in the fact that there's so many things you just can't know, can't hold.

-The magic of Death is in transcending the ego. Transcending the ego itself is something most of us can only do occasionally before we slip back into its grasp.

-the white rose represents purification of the desire nature.
