Emerging Mythology - Q&A

[@prplpotatoes]

This talk helps to explain the trouble of new age religion, which often feels like a bunch of global citizens who have lost their original 'society' and are cherry picking from an torn-open world of myth to conjure up ritual and meaning. It is a devastating situation for everyone seeking spiritual guidance or not. It makes me ponder of the potential of new myth for a global culture. What does that look like...? 🤔 Love Joseph Campbell and this group of thinkers!

Just pure love and genius. Love Joseph Campbell.

Campbell's work has been a huge inspiration upon my own over the decades. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge; hope's strength, resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ --Diamond Dragons (series)

To be able to describe the essence of mythology with such succinct clarity only goes to show Joseph Campbell's incredible insights into its truths. He respected and honored the wisdom within the mythical metaphor and his words are a gift to the world, much needed today.

@@lisasmith3657 It seems to be a metaphorical theme in ancient tales of those who possess fame and fortune to have to forsake their earthly riches, if not physically then mentally, on the humbling path of awakening to Spirit. These formidable cultural kings and queens become powerless when faced with the challenge of death in some form after encountering the story’s archetypal Sage of spiritual wisdom. Even the formidable Indian God Indra was powerless when it came to a Sage’s curse on him for not being humble. With the only choice being to surrender into the unknown darkness, like Innana’s, transformation is possible towards the truth of timeless Spirit as being the fundamental source of existence. Western minds are evolving - lots of shedding of calcified barnacles to go. 😊Namaste 🙏

@@lisasmith3657 Yes, the ‘heart’ is where it all comes together - Anahata Chakra. In the ancient wisdom of Jyotish or Vedic Astrology (not Western), Venus retro indicates revisiting the give-and-take of relationships - btw Anahita Rao did a superb You Tube synopsis of Venus retro from Leo to Cancer around 3 weeks ago. I would think Saturn is the best scraper of karmic barnacles, magnified with some impetuous Rahu, Jyotish-speaking that is.😊

Four minutes of the wisdom of our Nature, Earth, society & experience just like that! WOW😮

[@J0hnC0ltrane]

I'm always impressed with how Joseph Campbell represents the world's global structure and sociological view. Sociology in university never did this.

A very, very old Chinese observation is,” if we are able to name something,anything we posses that something/anything. This allows us to own our understanding of the miracle existence. Otherwise we would go completely mad.

[@robincrowflies]

Back in the early 90s I took a class in college, called Transformations of Myth Through Time--I still have the textbook and workbook that went with it, but we watched the lectures on PBS. This looks like it may be from that series. (?)

@@Wyattbeaty The Rich have a mythology, it's called "Greed is Good". Don't have to look very far to understand the religion of the rich. All of the get rich books and philosophies of the richest in the world all say the same thing: "Be the best, dominate, being selfish is actually virtuous." I am not judging this, I am simply saying it is a story. A way of living. A narrative that an ego has placed itself in. If the mythology of our world was that we were all brothers and to love one another as ourselves (as this is truly the case, we are one life together) then if we truly embodied this story/myth, it would mean feeding our family: eg. the children. It would mean no need for bombs because we know that all wars are civil wars. It is our shared story and mythology that trickles down into all of our values, which trickles down into our decision making in the world. Careful about the assumptions you make, the Joseph Campbell is passing on something even more valuable than feeding the starving children, it is a look into the psychology of who we are so that we may have a chance to truly design a mythology/society that does not let those things happen in the long run. So we should absolutely care about the mythologies we subscribe to because if we don't decide for ourselves what they are then it will be decided for us and it will have irreversible effects on all of the generations to come.

@@sydneylanestudios “Joseph Campbell is passing on something even more valuable than feeding the starving children”. Wow, that’s a scary and ugly statement my friend. Please leave me be and keep your seemingly highly important mythologies away from me, if that’s the kind of bizarre and perhaps crystallized world view and attitude it leads to. Nothing is more important than feeding the starving, clothing the naked and housing the homeless. They are not fed because of worldwide greed, that is a fact and you don’t seem to care a whole lot, which is ugly and sick. Wake up to their living pain, it’s now, it’s real, it’s ongoing and it needs to stop. Thank you for your interesting advice and boldly telling me to be careful with my assumptions but please learn to feel the living and real pain in the bellies of those who starve, it’s horrible and Godless to live and die that way. You talk of stories; I speak of horrible facts facing us all. You speak of some kind of dream land that you seem to actually believe, where there are more important things than feeding the starving children. That’s completely insane. They are dying now as you and I type and yet you say it’s not of the utmost importance. I don’t have money to help them but many others like the Joseph Campbell foundation do, that’s the fact we all face. You scare and shock me very much. Please, spare me, my friend. The devil speaks through you when you say that Joseph Campbell is passing on something even more valuable than feeding the starving children. God bless you and please leave me be.
