"Apocalypse does not point to a fiery Armageddon but to the fact that
our ignorance and our complacency are coming to an end. Our divided,
schizophrenic worldview, with no mythology adequate to coordinate our
conscious and unconscious -- that is what is coming to an end. The
exclusivism of there being only one way in which we can be saved, the
idea that there is a single religious group that is in sole possession
of the truth -- that is the world as we know it that must pass away.
What is the kingdom? It lies in our realization of the ubiquity of the
divine presence in our neighbors, in our enemies, in all of us". —
Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That, p. 107
