Joseph Campbell said (In "Pathways to Bliss")
that myths and symbols (If they are alive for us)
guide us in aligning ourselves with our life
and with our own inner nature (And I would add here, 
with our innate virtues [The things we do best
and enjoy doing most], and with our intrinsic intuition, 
and, in so doing, serve us as "pathways to bliss."

Anything that puts us in accord with our life, our original
nature, our virtues and our intuition are connecting
us with our bliss, and enable us to become
"transparent to transcendence,"
as were the Buddha and the Christ
and all of the holy people throughout the ages.

We are holy/divine when we align ourselves with our life--
the life that is truly, authentically, "us," "who we are"
in ways that exhibit/express/serve
our original nature, our innate virtues, our intrinsic
intuition and incarnates these qualities
in ways that are themselves holy and divine.

We are all called and asked by virtue of our birth
to live so as to be transparent to transcendence, 
living in sync with our nature, our virtues, our intuition,
and without contrivance, but with sincerity, integrity and 
spontaneity--and that is divinity!--living so as
to allow the energy of God to shine forth in us and through us
in doing what is called for in each situation as it arises.
