Kanunlar ve görevler din çatısı altında birleştiğinde,insan asla tamamen bilinçli olamaz;asla kendinin tamamen bilincine varamaz.Asla tam bir birey olamaz.
Paul uykuya dalarken Chani'nin ona bir çöl şarkısı söylediğini anımsadı.
"Ey ruhum
Bu gece Cennet'i arama,
Şeyh Hukur adına yemin ederim ki
Gideceksin oraya,
Bana sadık kalırsan."
Sonra Çölde yürüyen âşıkların şarkısını söylemişti... Şarkının ritmi,kumullqrda atılan adımların ritmi gibiydi.
"Gözlerini anlat bana
Kalbini anlatayım sana
Ayaklarını anlat bana
Ellerini anlatayım
Uykunu anlat bana
Uyanışını anlatayım
Arzularını anlat bana
İhtiyacını anlatayım"
CAMPBELL: All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as
the result of invisible hands coming all the time -- namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put
yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought
to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the
field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors
will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
MOYERS: What happens when you follow your bliss?
CAMPBELL: You come to bliss. In the Middle Ages, a favorite image that occurs in many,
many contexts is the wheel of fortune. There's the hub of the wheel, and there is the revolving rim of the
wheel. For example, if you are attached to the rim of the wheel of fortune, you will be either above
going down or at the bottom coming up. But if you are at the hub, you are in the same place all the time.
That is the sense of the marriage vow -- I take you in health or sickness, in wealth or poverty: going up
or going down. But I take you as my center, and you are my bliss, not the wealth that you might bring
me, not the social prestige, but you. That is following your bliss.
If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a land of track that has been there all the while,
waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Wherever you are - - if
you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time.
