The Ten Thousand Things

Sam and Joe kick off the new year by discussing a quote from Joseph Campbell:

People say they believe in God. God is a metaphor for a mystery that absolutely transcends all human categories of thought.
Even the categories of being and nonbeing.
Those are categories of thought. I mean it's as simple as that. It depends on how much you want to think about it. Whether it's putting you in touch with the mystery that is the ground of your own being. If it isn't, well, it's a lie.
