Wow !

He was such a beautiful man. Although she lived to a great age, she had unfortunately many years to live without him. RIP in the Heavens of Mythology Mr Campbell, your contribution to the world reverberates to this day.

Colorful name.

Yes, Bill Moyers was great & doubly fantastic with Joe...

This was the Stuff .

i studied parts of our Bible, indian upanishads sociology, anthropogy... i got luckier and luckier... simultaneously almost got deep into The bhagavad gīta As It Is - bhaktivedānta... and at least one of j campbell's oversize books. the professor has a mystical ability to find images of the essential ineffable. i would not conceive as "possible" the images from around our planet that he could find And Place Properly in the puzzle of human "upanishad": our moving firmly UP to God - and to The Personal God. he Accurately identifies God as a person ! with a personality. i am a catholic christian harekrishna - and it All Fits. lucky was i also with my harekrishna teacher: father Siddha Vidya, a student of ac bhaktivedānta prbhpd. a tremendous lineage esp in our days of Lies and Deceit. maybe prof cambell had the chance to read Valmiki's Rāmāyana, or the mahabhaharata - sacredtexts.com - maybe the cream of vedānta the Sr.mād Bhagavatam - vedabase.com. very compelling

@@t.d.w.maverick5727 this IS the stuff wonder what the professor would make of the demons now brazenly out to destroy Planet Earth, and digests the life energies... NOW

synchronicity runs the universe. the trillions of chemical reactions each second going on in your body right now that are keeping you alive are run by the synchronicity of this universe. when you realize this, you will no longer fear death because you can never die. your body stops, but you, never. the universe is a wonderful place.

So a flashlight battery has consciousness. WOW there really must be a invisible magic soul collector.

Ew

​@louiscolborn6715 i once thought as you did - sarcastically. There's a reason even for that. Even if there isnt a literal "soul collector" even if there's no such thing as a soul. There is energy. Or at least that's our label for it. And its manifested in all sorts of ways and in varying degrees of abundance. We have scientific understandings and we have philosophical understandings and spiritual understandings. Not all of these things are in alignment but perhaps one day. Or perhaps not.

To all those who are causing suffering in this world, directly or indirectly: Heed your dreams at night, those nightmares that you most assuredly are having are imploring you to change -before it’s too late… The quality of our dreams is both a reflection of our thoughts and actions as well as a general foreshadowing of the fate of our souls in the next life...A nightly, temporary karma that beckons us to change - for the good - so as to avoid a more permanent karma❤️‍🔥 Beauty(🌷)+Complexity(🌎) =Intent(❤️) The Figure 8 Analogy: An analogy on life, death, the dream-state and the symbolism intertwined within the human experience. We human beings are not traveling in the abstract motion of a straight line towards death (for instance, the numerical straight line of say 1-89). Instead, we are moving in the motion of a figure 8. The Figure 8 is a natural repeating pattern that is divided into two halves and is thus the perfect symbol to represent the human life cycle and our two primary states of existence that we are continuously moving in and out of -the Awake state and the Dream state. When we awake from sleep we come full circle to when we fall back asleep (represented by the bottom half of the figure 8 )and when we go into the dream state we come full circle to when we awake from the dream state (represented by the top half of the figure 8 ). Upon death; the figure 8 of life untwines, but it’s not the body untwining from the mind that this analogy represents. It's two states of mind untwining to form a larger state of mind (8-0)… Because the awake state is really a state -of mind with our body's physical reality "consciously" intertwined, and the dream-state is also a state of mind with our body's physical reality "subconsciously" intertwined. Therefore; upon death, these two states of mind untwine to form a “larger” state of mind. A state that has all the potentialities of the dream-world (flying, telepathy, psychokinesis, etc) combined with all the actualities of the awake world(nature, form, bonds, etc). This I refer to as the transitional analogy. While conceiving The Figure 8 Analogy, I realized life and death must be perceived -from one point of view- as seperate entities(the transitional analogy(8-0), but must also be perceived -from another point of view- as inseparable entities(the symbolic analogy👇), both of which are ultimately linked by the dream-state. The “Symbolic Analogy” consists of the untwined figure 8 of life/the “circle of death” ( O ) abstractly overlapping the ‘circle of life’ (Earth(🌎)with the overlapping area representing the dreamstate-like the common area in a Venn Diagram-and implies that the dream state is just as much a part of life as is of death (by which explains precognitive dreams, prodromal dreams, "visitations" by deceased relatives, etc) for the dream-state has a foothold in the afterlife; and is based on the premise that “while our body sleeps our dream state symbolically represents the state that awaits upon our body's ultimate rest.” In other words, while we are lying down and sleeping/dreaming, this natural process symbolizes where we go when we're ultimately lying down/dead -to a place like our dream-state...A state "of mind” with our body's physical form+Earthly bonds eternally engrained and intertwined. ~8~

Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth | Ep. 1: 'The Hero’s Adventure' 1706pm 13.1.23 when you hold your own center and the idiots who attempt to define your way or soul or psyche cannot get beyond your formative years. they're retrograde and are tiring and are... soul sap.... they are part and parcel of this retardation process spoken of.

You are right. This talk goes a long way in transform consciousness. Personally I have always been horrified by the story of Jephthah's daughter in Judges 11:30 - 40 and saw the tale as a horrible victim story. Since reflecting on this talk I can now read this again and instead of feeling disgust, I now actually see this story as a teaching fable in which Jephthah's daughter is undertaking her hero's journey.

@@Matira269 I believe that this is not the case.

LOVED that part!

@@chrisferi7478 Wrong in the sense that the story is not a myth or wrong because you don't think that the daughter was the hero?

Not only the divine, but the diabolical as well. Good and evil aren't forces beyond our control, but simply choices we make.

He always reminds me of a mix between Mr. Rogers & orville redenbacher :) very wholesome

Mr. Campbell's lectures are actually a distillation of Carl Jung's teachings, in terms anyone can understand. IOW Mr. Campbell is Jung's greatest disciple.

@@brindlekintales Nope. Campbell was as little a disciple of Jung as Jung was to Freud.

He touched my words with his soul.

You are right, I stumbled onto his work when I was learning to write over 20 years ago. Haven't read a book or watched a movie the same since...he opened the world for me to look upon.

You have such an amazing dad and so happy he's still alive. I never had a dad like that. We never talked to our dad about anything and then he died when I was only 19. Thank you for recommending this man. All the best to your wonderful dad and to you. ♥️🤗♥️🤗

What year was the interview ?

Thanks for sharing. Good memories. Enjoy this last month of Spring.

That’s beautiful your father is 80 years older than me

Then and than are different words with different meanings. Too bad you didn't learn basic grammar, either.

@@slappy8941 We need to build each other up dude, not try tear each other down.

Therein lies the rub. Maybe that's the hero's journey we all could take - if we dare? IDK. I feel the same way. I KNOW what I enjoy doing, just not sure if I could do it and still eat and live indoors. ;)

Life is boundless, "can" is not a concept that it is limited to. Those that dare to do what is percievably impossible become heros. To dismiss such a thing as luck only shows that you dont understand what you are capable of. There is always a way, having the will to do what it takes is all that is needed.

Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth | Ep. 1: 'The Hero’s Adventure' Comments on ‘Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell (PCM Stereo)’ 1701pm 13.1.23 defeating all your fears and the mighty dragon.. only to be literally sacrificed to embolden a new creed - as your christ allegedly did on the cross or your fav rock star did as he died a young death... let's face it as the pagan scholar suggested the sacrificial victim shows no fear. any fear ruins the purity of the kill.

&&&&& Really? He’s on my short list of “People I’d most like to meet” What a gift to mankind!&&&& Joseph Campbell was a right-wing racist and anti-Semite And you think he defines a “hero”? And did all that ‘hero’ talk seem a bit…white? Not unexpected from a man who was a notorious racist. In an infamous 1989 article at the New York Review of Books, the media fixture Brendan Gill recalled knowing Campbell through their membership at the Century Club in New York City. As he reported: “The bigotry that Campbell displayed toward blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities was so irrational that one hesitated to believe he was in dead earnest.” For decades, Campbell had been a literature professor at Sarah Lawrence College. By several reports, he’d protested the admission of Black students, saying they were “unable to retain information.” A woman who worked at his publisher recalled: “It was amazing to me that this man of cosmic vision could harbor such meanspirited and seemingly unexamined biases against much of humankind.” His anti-Semitism was particularly startling. Campbell was given to spouting off about Jews, saying things like “I can always spot a Jew” or “not all of the Nazis’ ideas had been so bad.” After Brendan Gill’s report, a Jewish student of Campbell’s recalled him saying “Jews had ruined 20th century culture” and that he’d spent his life trying to avoid Jewish company. Campbell was recalled giving a lecture once and speaking of humans as predators who ought to behave like it. A woman in the audience asked: “What about the six million who were gassed during World War II?” Campbell, she said, shrugged and replied: “That’s your problem.” In 1992, Robert A. Segal published a paper, “Joseph Campbell on Jews and Judaism,” that quoted these moments, and he finds Campbell “never says anything positive about Judaism…” And what about the Nazi links?

Well Said...

a very good comment

Bang on!

Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth | Ep. 1: 'The Hero’s Adventure' 1550pm 13.1.23 slaying the formless abyss! he has something to say, i suppose. as did jung... as did all those anthropologists of old. even colin wilson had something to impart - though he does remind me of arthur seaton after he had discovering l.s.d.

Yes it will

You're welcome

Capitolism is evil and need not be involved at all with economy or our democracy. Study to show thyself approved. He sounds strange never heard of him.

November beautiful big change is already here and will become more and more noticeable... GOD HAS WON

That's all about to change EVIL cannot survive here anymore..... September October

No surprise the decline of spirituality is tied with the growth of materialism. You are right, but its gonna be ugly.

It's going to be a rough ride, but the seeds for us to get out of this mess are very much being sown. There are enough mavericks out there who see what Campbell saw in our world. Safe travels brother.

Yes! Thank you!!!

Civilisation was another good one.

​@martinrea8548 I'll have to check it out! Is it on UKposts?

Commenting to save this. Thanks!

When I was younger I had a cherished 16-jewel watch. It wasn’t until decades later that it’s true meaning in my life became clear. ❤️‍🔥🙏🏻

Boom. Thank you for this, traveler.

which spirituality are we talking about if its religion then that's a no go

Thanks for pontificating.

Hahaha no you can refuse the call but god will never stop calling. I’ve refused it long enough, much love friend

Your comment gave me chills!! You found god in the gutter. Kudos to you for being willing to stoop!

They say when you see your loved one in others .. it's a gift from God ....it happens and it also hurts ....

@@larasikora5534 I've never heard that before. Very interesting. I've never seen anyone before who looks like anyone i know. But I swear if you saw my grandpa, he looks JUST LIKE Joseph Campbell. Its not just the physical appearance tho. There is something extremely acute in their mannerisms that is identical. When Joseph gets really passionate about what he's talking about, a smile lights up on his face, but you can really see it in his eyes. Its a very personal splendor. My grandpa used to tell stories with the same fascination.

My father’s and grandfather’s names are Campbell 😊

@pattyayers oh wow! My 2nd great grandma was named Sarah Campbell. Born in Kentucky. Her father, Preston Campbell, was a Confederate soldier. Sarah married my 2nd great grandpa, Reuben Page, who was a Union soldier. 🤣

Is heroism really egoistic? What if the hero has no sense of the self- like Jesus?

Did you watch the video? It’s all about heroes 😊

Our pleasure!
