"And the enchantment of maya, in modern psychological terms, is exactly the image of the world that you have as a consequence of your fears and desires. If you could break away from your ego limitations, you would behold the world of paradise right here and now. There is a Buddhist saying: 'This world, with all its ills, with all its horrors, with all its stupidities, with all its darkness, is the golden lotus world.' THIS is the golden lotus world right now, as it is. And if you cannot see it, such is not the worlds fault. What must be corrected is not the world, but your own perspective. And so we find in the Grail legend that everything needed is all there, only it is not being seen. And what the hero is to do is to clarify the situation."
Joseph Campbell, Romance of the Grail: The Magic and Mystery of Arthurian Myth, p.153-154
