This quote by Joseph Campbell offers an interesting way to think about the Good Friday/Easter message:
“[T]he universal doctrine teaches that all the visible structures of the world … are the effects of a ubiquitous power out of which they rise, which supports & fills them during their manifestation, & back into which they must ultimately dissolve. This is the power known to science as energy, to the Melanesians as mana, to the Sioux Indians as wakonda, the Hindus as Shakti, and the Christians as the power of God.”
I love Joseph Campbell.
Also: to the Jews as ruach, nephesh, or neshama…
Chinese as Chi?
Indians as Prana?
the “wind-water” that nourishes and moves within all of us, keeping the flames of the spirit stoked.
