This man, Joseph Campbell, is very articulate; and the other man, Bill Moyers, is a very good listener. It makes for a truly excellent and intellectual discourse. Thank you!

I keep watching this series again and again, just for the moments when I'm most receptive and can actually grasp some of the depth of the content. There are still parts that aren't quite penetrating through my ego yet.

I love the language that JC uses to describe, to explain, to tell his stories of Mythology. He was a gift to the world. Listening to the series now...20 years ago

I have been listening to this series back to back, this is amazing i truely love what im hearing it's so thought provoking. As an indigenous from NZ this is a great reminder of our connection to the spirit of nature and animals. Thank you 😍

That last statement though 🤯. And there are those moments where he just wells up with joy you can just see his face beaming. It’s so amazing.

Centuries of research, learning , knowledge disbursed to younger generation

Thank, thank you, thank you!! I just can’t say it enough!!! Thanks!! This show had one of the most profound effect on my life!! Thank you so much and I pray that UKposts never takes these down!!! 🙏🫶💯💯💯🙇‍♀️

What a beautiful human being. Mr. Campbell has gone through his own hero’s journey and now plays the guide for us through his books and these interviews.

An invisible plane supporting the visible 🌌🙏🏽 well put

It's incredible that Joseph Campbell died mere months after this series! A true master!

Profound. Keep coming back to these. Meditating right now on these words - ritual and meaning are returning. Thanks for posting 🙏

So glad to see that Campbell gave such praise to Niehart's Black Elk Speaks at the end. We would be wise to bring true native understanding and wisdom back into our national soul before it's to late. Bears Ears National Monument co-management plan with 5 tribes is trying to attempt just such a thing. Campbell's life's work wisdom is everlasting

These episodes always bring peace over me. Holiday time for soundtracks and reason; they grow up wise and tall when truth and belief can coexist

Good to learn Bill Moyers still alive December 2022. RIP Joseph Campbell.

That last 5 minutes with blackout, such a great moment of learning. That guy was cool af.

This series is magical and full of wisdom.

Thank you to whomever has put this together Its truly appreciated

Joseph Campbell is the embroidery the embryo of consciousness and awakening stitching all mythology across time and memorial, from beginning to present moment!

My favorite storyteller Joseph Campbell

This series has been most enlightening and thought provoking, much ‘food’ for thought. I always try to remember the consciousness of all the food I eat with a prayer of thanks. We look upon the ancient right of ‘blooding’ a Hunter, like we in the west have considered barbaric as seems to have been carried on up until quite recently in the UK, and was a common occurrence in traditional Hunts, by abandoning it, as a ritual ‘rite of passage’, actually goes way back to pre history. By banning this activity in Britain has possibly severed one of our last link to the food giving animal world. When we had the pandemic, we were banned from churches and gatherings such as harvest festivals, so that last vestige of our communal links to the past, and the spirit world of the consciousness we consume, we are breaking the cycle. Could this be the reason that the we are plunging much of the Western world into what may be difficult times ahead food wise? It may seem unconnected, but if we do not respect our land and treat it with its due reverence, nature will in tern withold their sacrifice for our benefit. This will lead to starvation. Only places where the rituals survive in significant number, and not those places reliant on manufactured or adulterated food, they will be led into full slavery and be fully reliant on manufactured produce for their nutrition. By abandoning or phasing out of these spiritual food and fertility rituals over the years, as we become more ‘progressive’, and disconnected with our planet and the way we live and feed ourselves and live selfishly, taking and not giving respect back, then services withdrawn by Mother Earth and we’re on our own. Quite a scarey thought really. Maybe we ought to start bringing back some of these rituals as a matter of some urgency. Maybe we can learn something from our Pagan forebares, where most of these customs and rituals, dances, festivals, feasts and even town carnivals came from prior to Christianity, and were kept on to appease the old memories, to slowly whither away, and then slowly erased from memory by other distractions. Maybe this is why the Native American elders speak, that during trying times, only those that observe the spiritual niceties, will be able to thrive in any meaningful way, notwithstanding external devices. So the ritual carried out when a young huntsman on his first kill is ‘blooded’, goes back to a time when they depended on the animals they killed, they had to introduce the new hunter to the tribe and spirit world possibly, and why they would eat the liver straight away so that they got that first nutrient as a gift from the slaughtered animal to replenish them, also because they would need to be eaten first as they were difficult to preserve. I’m guessing they wouldn’t kill animals for fun, but it would possibly be spiritual bad manners not to get a thrill of the hunt, so long as the sacrifice of the hunted animal is appreciated and utilised to the fullest extent.

The centre of the world is where stillness and movement are together where movement is time and stillness eternity ⭐️💕

Years ago, in a cultural anthropology class, we studied Campbell. One of the best classes I took.

The "respect " for the animal that feeds you....the part of nature that sustains us, I think has been lost as has the respect for nature in general and the understanding that WE ARE IT and IT IS US. I came across Joseph over 30 years ago and he was one of many that helped me along my path. The last 2 years I was showing the documentary Finding Joe to my students. If you haven't seen it, it can be found on youtube

Powerful, truly powerful.

thank you for posting this❤️

Bill Moyers was so freakin cool.

this is so surreal. what a gift. thank you for posting.

In my 💓 👁👁 I Declare U a Saint👣🙋 Saint Joseph 🤓🎓🎩💚🌏💚 Holder of WISDOM💎🎁 NAMASTE 2 U & All💓🔔

Love hanging out with the smart kids. 😁👋

Wonderful! Thank U 🙏 #TOGM #AIO

This is some beautiful stuff, I love it.

This is so good. Thank you 😊

The power of Joseph Campbell 😊

No one is hated more• than he/she who tells the truth- Plato

Amazed and infinitely thankful!

life is a wonderful experience. God loves it when you give your best. and so do you.

This is true awakening to it's highest power possible! Joseph Campbell brings together all human knowledge and truths from time and memorial ❤ the best compilation or library known to man in his research a true walking library for all time !! Josephs own hero's journey was to put This together for mankind! Truly the greatest gift 🎁 a mind could ask for ...a hero wearing eternitys' ever-changing mask of consciousness

144 comments!😅 !38:16 A Woman is a vehicle of Life!🤯 You just inspired me a beautiful poem! Thank you!🙏

25:17 This is giving me the most impressive goose bumps!

Truly extraordinary! Mind opening perspective

So fantastic and inspiring to listen to.

The biggest lesson here I wish the modern world would heed is that myth, ritual, religion are constantly changing, evolving in order to survive. I think the way we treat these things as fixed quantities continues to do great harm.

Great information-- Bill Moyers is a skillful interviewer and Joseph Campbell a wonderful insightful teacher.

Excelent book,great to hear audio version,thanks!😊

Professor Campbell is a very kind and interesting fellow, pleasing to listen to and thought provoking. As to Mr Moyer, I shall fellow the maxim that if your can't say something nice don't say anything at all, to wit:

The thou and it reflects it well even today

Extraordinaire ! Thank you for sharing ! This man is incredible, a good teacher what's he revealed will feed me for decades. Thanks so much to him and everybody that makes it hapened. Namasté

Campbell was indeed wise

For someone so learned of the past, Campbell was wise to point to the future. It's sad to see people here launch into the same old bleating about the "good old days" as if doing a rain dance will cure society's ills. He said as much in the previous part, and he alluded to it in this--we are a new society with new knowledge, a new domain. We need new myths--ones local and relevant to our modern experiences. People end up seeking out stories or meeting like-minded folk and creating their own in the process--but if you never do, or if yours conflicts with what our society demands of you, you get those lost souls.

Sería un gran aporte que pusieran subtitulos en español para poder seguir mejor a Joe en sus maravillosas e inspiradoras exposiciones! Gracias por considerarlo! 🙏🏼🤗🇦🇷

Iam 21 years old as am commenting this comment, many of the things which were discussed in this episode are things I am unaware of, I truly wish, that as time passes on, I want to accumilate enough intellect to grasp each and every detail being discussed in this video. Namaskaram🙏🙏🙏

I wish people would stop saying that animals don't think about death... when they absolutely do! Elephants will go back to the bones of a beloved member of the group, and other species of shown similar behaviour.

THIS. 🙏🏻❤️‍🔥

This is so good🌟

I can’t get enough of this

And each of us is a manifestation of this mystery 🙏.

8:42 a lovely metaphor. This body isn’t worth dwelling on!!😊

So interesting.

Brilliant

Thank you

It's just so good

Keep going! You will get it as I did!

0:29 has a very Marty Staufer vibe to it. 0:50-what you just described is myth, too

This book changed my life. It was my first knowledge of him. Everything had new meaning . We have lost our way, and these Myths are being buried in technology . Yuk.

A question is, when did we start to think of ourselves in this regard?

I would just like to add to Bill Moyers statement on thinking animals dont think theres an after death experience, elephants bury their dead, they mourn at the funeral site often for over 24 hours straight, and they return to the burial sites to visit their dead, so at the very minimum and Im sure theres more, elephants believe in something we likely could scarcely even fathom

Kinolober, thank you for all these video's again, with Bill Moyers and the amazing thinker and writer Joseph Campbell. A journey of the consciousness,(subconscious,) a walk of deep insights. All great religions faiths, indigenous cultures for centuries, wars, and religious divisions beginning 3500 years before Christ. It is a journey, and it begins inside of you. Krishnamurti ❤ Everyone has their own journey. World histories, philosophy, sciences, religious divisions, books of great writers and literature, poetry, music and creative arts, dance, painters for centuries. Creative arts are the glue that hold our world together. "The Master and His Emissary," The Divided Brain Nd the Making of the Western World," "The Matter With Things," Our Brains and the Unmaking of the World," two volumes 1500 pages with notes books by Iian McGilchrist. "The Redbook" Libra Novus, C.J. Jung, Edited and with an Introduction by Sonu Shamdasani, 2009. Excellent discussions and encouraging books of wisdom and guidance.

Campbell is an American treasure and gave us so much to think about more deeply. But I don't agree with some of his conclusions. Our religions kept us believing that we all need an intermediary between us and higher spiritual awareness (Heaven, Enlightenment) In my opinion, we are all responsible for our own advancement to higher levels of awareness. No shaman or Priest can do the work for us. They can be a friend - a supporter, but the work remains ours. Victory or defeat is in our hands.

Over lunch the deacon explained that he had studied at the University of Chicago under Campbell’s friend, the anthropologist Mircea Eliade. The deacon informed me that on his deathbed Joseph Campbell asked for a Catholic priest and was reconciled with the church of his childhood.

This might be the most kino video series ever produced

I gave child of the Sun the Peacock feather and child of the Moon the Turkey feather. They are on their way!

2:40 that’s a myth too. We do not experience death! Lol

22:20 are we having similar encounter of a bird from Ramayana ? "Have you seen Sita"? Jatayu was asked

The ads are very disruptive.

26:53 change in one psychology just by saying THOU. Wow! Yes it works!

50:40 Black Elk Speaks

The artist function is the mythololzation of the world.

1:02 Gee, wonder why they cut it before the head swivel... Peace

My gifts to the world are my children. They came through me. That's why I always drive them wherever they need to go.

32:25 🙂

Hilma af Klint is an amazing woman visionary artist that influenced Paul Klee.

Watching the Japanese torture that little bear was unbearable.

A boy is his mothers son but becomes his father's son 👌

knitting?

12:42

The circumpolar bear cult i thought it was like a part of history unknown 😳 a ancient religion that was around in cave man days it we from the mountain ⛰️ of Europe to the east all the way to Alaska.

26:25

The World belongs to Serbs #SRB

Lol this is the cave george lucas used for empire strikes back

So disappointing that he fell for the exposure effect bias when talking about crime. He thinks the amount of disturbing news in the newspaper means crime is out of control when the data is quite clear that violence trends down exponentially with civilization and technological progress.

Cave a temple made by nature Church temple made by man Both are cruel

He was a genius. I just don't think he really understood the bible,like most western people we were taught in university to hate the bible and everything that has to do with cristianity, like, because of the horrible things the Church did, that somewow has something to do with the thing itself, like it's not the people that were wrong, it's the book...Joseph Campbell would have leanerd a lot with Jordan Peterson.

yeah sorry but on that one I do have a different opinion as far as rituals go and that we have to keep them alive. How is the circumcision of a boy less barbarian than people in the western countries commiting crimes? That are rituals that are important and to know their symbology and use is to be rememberd in some way, because of the depth of their meaning. But I will disagree on the part of having to keep certain rites. One more thing, sure, a women become a women by nature but I'm by is by far not obligated to having to give physical birth, that is also a social expectation that is now falling away, which is, again in my opinion, a positive. I do not shame people that do want to have children obviously, it has nothing to do with that, but a women should not feel lees of a women because she might for one maybe not have menstruation or children, again it's consciousness, everyone is more then just their mare bodies and more then the rituals.

I love Joseph Campbell, but when he uses the word "Barbarian" I would expect him to understand it's orrigins which is from the Berber tribe of North Africa in Morocco and Ageria (really Sahara desert), That word is used as a racisr slurr. Jus as Savages was towards Native American among others from the white colonists. Once again, understanding that no one is perfect and to think for yourself and never take anoyone's perspetive as concrete.

Joe always was an old car. Just like Mister Miyagi?

The GOP has failed America.

I wonder what JC would think about the world today. 🫤
