"To the imagination the sacred is self-evident," Nietzsche reminded us. . . . Mythologist and author Joseph Campbell once remarked that those who do not know that symbols hold hidden meaning are "like diners going into a restaurant and eating the menu rather than the meal it describes." The soul thinks in symbols. It is not literal-minded. Developing a process language nourishes the soul.
