When Joseph Campbell was in Japan for a conference on religion, he overheard an American delegate say to a Shinto priest, “We’ve been now to a number of ceremonies and seen many of your shrines. But I don’t get your ideology. I don’t get your theology.”
The Shinto priest paused as if in deep thought, and then slowly shook his head. “I don’t think we have an ideology. I don’t think we have a theology. We dance.”
