Joseph Campbell--Sun, Moon, Serpent, and Bull

[@philopoemen6659]

He's like the Feynman of mythology. Great insight into mythology and religion and a simple and elegant way of communicating his insights.

[@lazitazen6882]

Wow! Couldn't agree more! What a brilliant way to put it, thank you!

[@RaQuazar]

You Sir are a scholar.

[@GregoryWonderwheel]

Joseph Campbell is a such a great teacher. Being able to see the cosmic myths of everyday life and events is truly an awakening.

[@brianmenendez]

1:41 "The past must be killed so that there can be future" brilliant!

[@tarar297]

"Let the past die, kill it if you have to". Kylo Ren in Star Wars VIII. Look how that turned out for his character 😢

[@sapnaaum2392]

I found the doco with the cobra kissing priestess. DANGEROUS JOURNEY 1944 - rare Cobra kissing scene - lost documentary

[@JoshuaEliGilley]

+sapna aum thank you that was amazing!!

[@MorphingReality]

[@daevdizzit3237]

Amazing. Thank you

That acct was terminated 🦃

[@jryan5646]

Thank you so much for the link. Amazing.

[@raina1333]

Sukhavti is definitely my favorite Joseph Campbell piece.

[@OddWoz]

The ritual of the Priestess kissing the cobra is incredible. And it can be found by searching for the film’s name “Kingdom of Burma” and “priestess kisses the snake god”.

[@katiekatlovesu]

Wow, I’m Burmese and hearing this story from JC is such a profound experience.

[@Fritz451]

@peacechild61 Yes. He comments on it in "Occidental Mythology," which is the third of four volumes in his "Masks of God" series. The man has a considerable body of work on which I have only started, so this is the only example I can provide, though I imagine he probably describes it in greater depth elsewhere. I will not deprive you of the utter joy of reading him to learn his interpretation, but he generally doesn't have many positive things to say about monotheism.

[@rgcwow]

Disjointed, hacked up, out of context bits and pieces of Campbell"s message? The world needs, for example, the full Moyer / Campbell interviews uncut, But this foumdation is instead hacking Campbell's core messages up into tiny little disjointed hacked up bits and pieces. They are doing that as teasers to commercially monetize Campbel's work. The very nature of Campell's works must remain freely available, intact, in context, and sui- generis on a "giving foot forward" monetization model, which primarily is not the JC Foundation monetization model. Does this greedy foundation have copyrights on these works? Why can't anyone post these works up on IE. You Tube etc. free uncut unedited? For instance the full uncut Campbel / Moyers series. Why is Moyer not acting to counter this outrage? How to obtain these works intact & unedited now like when Campbell was alive without profiteering? That would be Campbell's will. The Campbell Foundation, in the guise of proliferating Campbell's body of work, is instead fragmenting it for commercial monetary motives. So aggravating! Seriously any effort to keep Campbell's work free, and free of being hacked up, and free of being exploited by the world system, then count us in. Metaphorically speaking: God was out for a stroll one day with the devil following along & imitating God. God was carrying something "he" had picked up along the way. The devil runs up and asks. "whatcha got there God?" God replies, "I got the truth." The devil then says," give it to me & I will organize it for you!". JC Foundation you need to stop "money changing on the temple steps".

[@aureliorodriguez5275]

You are telling us the history of almost all religious institutions.

[@Yet333]

100% agree. Thank you for speaking truth💪🏻✨

[@lanslater]

hence the saying "harder than french kissing a cobra" thank you he's here all week

[@zeph6439]

In the Minoan culture, the bull was never killed. Dancers jumped over the horns of the sacred bull instead - however the basic analogy is true to form.

[@marinob7433]

Invaluable treasure of knowledge

[@little.bear344]

Why are all the comments about Joseph? He would want you to instead focus on what he's saying and not on him. The conversation should be about what he's talking about, even if you don't understand it. Just like the herd, fixated on the light bearer rather than the light.

[@v.dargain1678]

The light bearer is cuter than the light he bears . This is how I explain the herd's behavior to myself .

[@setstarsail]

I wish you would share the full interviews, not shortened

[@melscamp]

I wish i could find more videos of him speaking

[@hollowdusk]

You can get them on Amazon actually. If you go to the foundation website there is plenty of material and links

[@jesusisbling]

Netflix has several Campbell videos you can stream...

[@truthiracy5711]

He would have LOVED My Truthiracy videos! Esoteric KNOWledge and WISEdome! Etymology, Symbology, PhiloSOPHIA etc :) Never seen his videos, but I see why people wanted me to see his videos. Truthiracy5 is not really Truthiracy at all, it's the WHAT WAS NOT BANNED COLLECTION! :( Even Basic things I can't share, the just banned my video minutes ago! :(

[@jskogura]

1:05 Myanmar Woman Kissing A Snake Video that Mr. Campbell refers to. Please translate the video someone, I can't find an version in English or any other language.

[@theforestero]

Took a minute, but got it ,now.

[@unknowninfinium4353]

Could you please explain.

[@TheArjulaad]

Anybody knows the title of the movie he is talking about?

[@BrilliantOrb]

@bluemeeni1658 your mean. Do you pick on the corperations about their word play like you do a dead guy?

[@highpriestofgavinalmightyh1304]

Just discovered him.

[@HEADSUPBERKELEY]

Thanks for posting I am requesting the sequence when he relates the counting of the breath where is revealed why the MALA of the BUDDHIST has 108 beads to count related to the breathe

[@TaylorReynolds221]

Fantastic video. I love listening to Joseph's Campbell's words. Have you guys seen the documentary on him “Finding Joe?” I just saw it and it is really great. It has fantastic cinematography and a beautiful message. I encourage you all to check it out. findingjoethemoviedotcom/

[@vikramadoddamani]

2:20 was great

[@fishermangunz6156]

Amazing

[@wahnano]

Respect.

[@Amanda-cd6dm]

My Daddy was the Chief Bull that's the Joe that was the Bull, Joseph on the other hand is the Serpent. And I wouldn't count my chickens Joseph Victor because God Almighty said he's going to do the stretch of 3 to 5 at Black Mountain in Mitchell County

[@sebastiankoehns]

Este es el video que habla sobre (This the video he is talking about) Biggest snake King cobra Myanmar woman

[@Usulplokoon]

Is it a KZbin video?

[@RAM_DOS]

This is good to hear for those of us who have not had kids. WE ARE NUMBER 1!!

[@Rhodiac]

What? Its the complete opposite

[@patton6421]

you're number 0

[@TUTMENA]

There can be another explanation on killing the bull as the overcoming the Islamic rule in Spain?

[@Nickname-ln9iw]

Killing of the bull as a ritual has much older historical roots. At some point it may have been mixed up with what you propose. Read Campbell his Masks of God. And yes there can be more explanations, symbols rarely carry one explanation inside of them.

[@Eli_pl4yz]

0:23 start

[@theforestero]

3:18 that hand sign is hard to do.

[@JerrythePope]

Gemeral dis I remember doing that hand gesture in high school.

[@rr7firefly]

+Gemeral dis -- you are so correct. Hands do not want to do it.

[@kapononamaste5141]

Any benefits to this? Feels like it’s stretching my muscles in hands and more.

[@oscillatingdailyaudio]

all is celestial metaphor

[@sebastianverney7851]

the film with the cobra scene is 'wheels across india', by armand denis and leila roosevelt 1940, link in this website: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZy4o3esa7KYjsk

[@FabledSoup]

Hades & Persephone

[@SavageHenry777]

The bull is father to the snake, and the snake to the bull. Or somesuch symbolon.

[@prehistorydecoded4454]

NO, the bull represents the constellation Capricornus, and later Taurus, from where the Taurid meteor stream radiated. Snakes symbolise comets and meteors. See Gobekli Tepe.

[@jaredb9523]

Can u hook it up with some links? Videos?

[@little.bear344]

You're referring to the literal and material aspect of these things. Campbell is referring to human psychology and human behavior and what lies underneath it all. The exoteric is so predictable and boring, look to the esoteric aspect of everything.

[@Nickname-ln9iw]

@@little.bear344 some will never see through the 'mental' veil, it's quite saddening.

[@oscillatingdailyaudio]

Snakes represent multiple things.. in some pieces of art, it represents the ecliptic of the sun...in others, it represents the animal mind, etc...it's not just one thing

[@listenup2882]

Do you think they meant the sane thing in all cultures?

[@lucymiller6616]

TOO SHORT...

[@marineboy090]

@bluemeeni1658 interesting point of view

[@joeluby]

@peacechild61 Nothing too specific.

[@igortakesabride1139]

I had to find that film that is alluded to here by Joseph. It's available online! Check it out! "A fantastic thing to see...", he says: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXqkkqyimsdoec0

[@errrre]

Thank you

[@torpedoboy4]

interesting....I hate attending weddings and funerals equally.

A serpent wearing a Joseph suit, like the Edgar suit and this Joseph does the serpent ain't no king cobra he is a solid black snake I saw him solid black

[@zenoofcaledonia2439]

So she did all that for the rain to come!! The rain would've come anyway regardless. Balls of steel though

[@miglena2s]

It would have come too late.

[@peacechild61]

does he have anything to say bout Islam?

[@Rhodiac]

Deatu cult

[@oknotko]

@bluemeeni1658 Same thing

[@dynasticlight1073]

He ,is on it w/ The Marriage and Death ideology.Myth or not Freedom or unity . Not One .

[@villiestephanov984]

Karl Sagon has nothing on me now.

[@robertrico5091]

Dear JCF-Why won't you allow Mythos and other JC videos on KZbin? Capitalism? Are these short commentaries merely a marketing tease?

[@Rhodiac]

Away commie

[@erichhunterph.d.198]

Seems like a stretch.

[@Nickname-ln9iw]

Argumentation please?

[@appearanceoffreedom6360]

Just to get it off 69. The man deserves more respect then a 69 on his vid c'mon bruh

[@patton6421]

comments should just be banned, there is no discussion, just a taint licking competition

[@terencemagee]

Odd how he doesn´t seem to hate bullfighting.

[@stevedyches4635]

He is simply explaining it's symbolic meaning. His hatred or love of the event is irrelevant. A cruel act indeed, IMO.

[@Rhodiac]

Flake

[@Nickname-ln9iw]

If you watch one of his interviews he'll tell you how 'evil' has its function in the world and how what exactly evil is differs per person, group, time-period. He's concerned with trying to understand and not to judge.

[@sarahconner9433]

If you think he's a Catholic or Jehovah witness your mistaken

[@peteepablo3035]

How bout we just live under the sun and moon and have no mathematics or science behind it!! Let's forget the planets degrees and how far they are and how often they come close and circle us!!! No more Mondays or Saturday's and then Sunday to tell us what to do!!! Forget what time it is because time doesn't exist just like Space!!! Now that's the earth 🌎 I would love ❤️ to live on!!!

[@jpbetancourt]

🐂

[@donovanmedieval]

Do not try this at home.

[@opup-m8b]

The foundation is doing a bad job. His lectures should just be available. This stinginess is shameful.

[@PabloDPena]

marriage and killing are related, HAHA. I know what he means but it's still kind of funny.

[@-o-light8863]

Yes you're the sacrificial lamb in marriage or man is. 🕷

[@listenup2882]

Europeans think they're the experts on everyone else's culture. Smh

[@darneeshdiwakar2877]

This is Sumerian Leviathan worship

[@little.bear344]

LOL!😂

[@Nickname-ln9iw]

Nice statement, when are you adding argumentation ?
