"Apocalypse does not point to a fiery Armageddon but to the fact that our ignorance and our complacency are coming to an endâ€¦ The exclusivism of there being only one way in which we can be saved, the idea that there is a single religious group that is in sole possession of the truthâ€”that is the world as we know it that must pass away. What is the kingdom? It lies in our realization of the ubiquity of the divine presence in our neighbors, in our enemies, in all of us."

-- Joseph Campbell
