All our names and images for God are masks, signifying the ultimate reality that by definition transcends language and art. A myth is a mask of God too - a metaphor for what lies behind the visible world. However the mystic traditions differ, they are in accord in calling us to a deeper awareness of the very act of living itself. The unpardonable sin is the sin of inadvertence, of not being alert, not quite awake.

The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell
