Miss listening to his lectures and interviews so much.

[@cymbaldude93]

Same, they were on Spotify for Awhile, I wish the downloads on the foundation site weren’t so expensive

I enjoy listening to his lectures on the Joseph Campbell Pathways podcast. The host has great insights too!

[@raenaexe3938]

Thank you! I use his teachings in my fiction writing all the time.

We are all of God the cosmos. Let’s start at least acting like it: kindness and respect for oneself, for others and mother earth.

It seems to me that only certain people will take an inner, spiritual, path. The way is and always has been there for all humans. The interest to take that personal path has not.

One cannot learn what one is not ready to understand. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Please more of the Odyssey.....does anyone know where I can watch all his lectures.....I am having withdrawals

[@gnupf]

Yes. You can order the DVD lecture series "Mythos" online. Published by the Joseph Campbell Foundation. To me it's over ten hours of finely condensed wisdom.

[@princepagan]

You can also find them (and buy the) digital versions on amazon prime! for this particular series look up: 'Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers'. I also recommend reading his book 'The power of myth' which is pretty much a written version of their whole interview.

[@PersephoneRising333]

I was able to rent both of the series mentioned above from Netflix DVD.. not sure if it’s streaming on there or not though..

[@AlphaDeltaRomeo]

I refer to god as It, not he or she. That eliminates the confusion created by Christian mythology. God is It, the circle, the whole, the One, encompassing all binaries, all multiverses, all instances.

[@edwardhanson3664]

Paul was very wrong about the spirit and the flesh. It is all One Thing.

[@Randy-1967]

Throw away all abrahamic cults and you are one step closer to spirituality

[@OrichalcumHammer]

Yes. Pick one of the 6 school of Dharma Philosophy of which Yoga has take off in Western world. Or you can choose the 3 Sub-schools of Vedanta - Advaita Vedanta which is more intellectual school of Vedanta focuses more on Atman/Self or 2 Schools of Devotions - Vishishtadvaita Vedanta / Dvaita Vedanta which focuses of Atman/Self and Brahman. If you dont believe in Self you can choose Buddhism which has Theravada Buddhism (The School of the Elders) or Mahayana Buddhism (The Great Vehicle) to which Zen Buddhism belongs. But the problem is for the Western mind is conditioned to a Church centric belief system where Christians are guided by Pastors through messages in Bible telling them that humans have instantly available path to heaven just by accepting the belief that 'Jesus died for your Sins' into your heart and if you dont you are bound for eternal damnation in hell for indulging in devil worship. The sins committed by Adam and Eve and also events of Exodus(Ramesses II lived for 90 years and didnt care about Moses or jewish god) are both not historical but Christians claims it is an historical book the events of Adam or Moses transpired. Even also bible claiming the world has been ending for last 2000 years because Jesus was apocalyptic-ist preacher who wanted Yahweh to destroy the world and smite the Romans occupying Israel. While generally Eastern philosophy or Dharma based religions are more about Inquiry into nature of world and self which needs rigor, self-discipline, meditative practices which you should not abandon in between just because you didnt get instant results. Also if you choose monk/ascetic lifestyle you have to give up stuff which engages senses which is very difficult for people brought up in western upbringing. Hence for western mind Tantra or Yoga is more attractive.
