“When I looked at you, my life made sense. Even the bad things made sense. They were necessary to make you possible.”

Religion is not about accepting twenty impossible propositions before breakfast, but about doing things that change you. It is a moral aesthetic, an ethical alchemy. If you behave in a certain way, you will be transformed. The myths and laws of religion are not true because they conform to some metaphysical, scientific, or historical reality but because they are life enhancing. They tell you how human nature functions, but you will not discover their truth unless you apply these myths and doctrines to your own life and put them into practice. The myths of the hero, for example, are not meant to give us historical information about Prometheus or Achilles — or for that matter, about Jesus or Buddha. Their purpose is to compel us to act in such a way that we bring out our own heroic potential.
Karen Armstrong - The Spiral Staircase
