![“The essence of oneself and the essence of the world: these two are one. [ The aim is not to see, but to realize that one is, that essence; then one is free to wander as that essence in the world.] Hence separateness, withdrawal, is no longer necessary. Wherever the hero may wander, whatever he may…” quote by Joseph Campbell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/826/joseph-campbell-300_aim_the-essence-of-oneself-and-the-essence-o_2824384.jpg)
