...the intersection between our dreaming and the stars
"What dreamer dreams the world so that all the dream characters dream too." and
"Vishnu sleeps. Like a spider that has climbed up
the thread that once issued from its own organism,
drawing it back into itself, the god has consumed
again the web of the universe.
Alone upon the immortal substance of
the ocean, a giant figure, submerged
partly, partly afloat, he takes delight in
slumber.
There is no one to behold him, no
one to comprehend him, there is no
knowledge of him, except within himself."
- Joseph Campbell on Vishnu, The Sleeping God "The Mythic Image"
(got to see the image this description goes with, pretty cool, a picture of a stone statue in India of Vishnu sleeping on the immortal ocean)
Fascinating idea. I was wondering this about Neptune as it slowly turns my Sagittarius moon to a big blob of slush. Thanks x
