The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell is one of my favorites to help me unravel and understand the path of life. Its quite dense and has a lot of academic thought and research behind it which is part of what makes it so powerful to me; a rigorous and academic approach towards attaining fulfillment and understanding. It combines the teachings of all the great myths and religions of the world and views them through the lens of analytical psychology to explore the true lesson of those stories and to decode how we can apply them to our lives as individuals living in the modern world.

Best of luck with the journey, and may you attain what you seek. Let us know how it goes when you've had time to process/integrate the experiences.
I read part of that book, moved residence, and haven't been able to find it to finish, same with my copy of Godel Escher Bach which I was slowly getting through. Maybe I'll cave and buy the ebook just so I can finish it, as I do think about derivatives of the concept quite a lot.

I greatly enjoy Mooji's guidance but I've never actually read anything of his. I will be looking into obtaining this book forthwith. I will also take a look at some of your other suggestions, thank you.
