Interpretation
In Campbell’s vocabulary, the “sacred” is not limited to institutional religion; it names whatever setting or practice reconnects a person to the deepest layer of their experience. The quote suggests that identity is not a fixed possession but something recovered repeatedly—through solitude, ritual, art, nature, meditation, or any protected interval away from social roles and demands. A “sacred space” functions as a psychological and spiritual refuge where one can shed borrowed narratives and return to an inner center. The line also implies discipline: such a space must be claimed and revisited, becoming a reliable site of renewal amid change.
