Bliss and Ecstasy

Bliss and Ecstasy – two extraordinary states of consciousness.

Dumbed down to types of “happiness” and all about our personal emotional and psychological state.

Bliss – a state of consciousness – direct connection with the divine.
The experience of creation – running through, and available to, us.

While acknowledging the brilliant work of Joseph Campbell, his famous quote “follow your bliss” implies that bliss is personal. And brings with it the unnecessary burden of finding your bliss, so you can follow it.
Perhaps “follow bliss“(consciousness of the divine) better reflects the nature of bliss.

Ecstasy – a state of consciousness – the trance of navigation.
Expanded to see the whole picture, the many ways, where paths lead and end. To navigate to the underworld and back. A whole new perspective on being human.
