Book Reviews of Myths of Light: Eastern Metaphors of the Eternal (Collected Work of Joseph Campbell Series)
Book Review: Absorb the Essence
Summary: 5 Stars
Since Bulfinch, Campbell has long been the storyteller of myth and culture, sharing insights on themes of origin and eternity. Myths of Light draws from Campbell's unpublished lectures, edited to a flowing narrative that introduces Eastern thought to a Western audience. With books like this, I don't expect to have complete understanding, nor recall of everything Campbell shares. I read in bite-size pieces, so I can absorb what he's talking about. Then I keep coming back to get little pieces and think about them. I read Myths of Light over the space of a year, the same way I read books like The History of Ideas, 1001 Nights, and Boorstein's The Discoverers and The Explorers. Absorb the essence of the ideas, and don't worry too much whether they stick with you.

Summary of Myths of Light: Eastern Metaphors of the Eternal (Collected Work of Joseph Campbell Series)
Following such volumes as Baksheesh and Brahman, The Inner Reaches of Outer Space, and Thou Art That, this previously unpublished title is Volume six in the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series. It shows Campbell's remarkable mind engaged with a favorite topic, the myths and metaphors of Asian religions. Myths of Light collects seven lectures and articles on subjects ranging from the ancient Hindu Vedas to Zen koans, Tantric yoga, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead. A worthy companion to Campbell's Asian journals, this volume conveys complex insights through warm, accessible storytelling, revealing the intricacies and secrets of his subjects with his typical enthusiasm.Fairy Tales Books
