Joseph Campbell

Myth lets you know where you are across the ages of life - at 40 or at 80...

These videos are a brief excerpt from interviews filmed with Joseph Campbell shortly before his death in 1987, previously unreleased by the Joseph Campbell Foundation. I compiled them together in a nice and neat 40 minute sort of documentary. There is a great deal to learn and extract from Joe Campbell's wisdom. I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I did.

“Myth is much more important and true than history. History is just journalism and you know how reliable that is.”

“Dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream; both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamic of the psyche. But in the dream the forms are quirked by the peculiar troubles of the dreamer, whereas in myth the problems and solutions sown are directly valid for all mankind”

― Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand Faces

The footage was taken by me in the Tsarevets fortress in my hometown a few years ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsarevets_(fortress)

The text in the video is an excerpt from the first chapter in the book.
It describes the concept of The Monomyth and the links between classical mythology as well as other aspects linked in the prevalent archetypes of the Hero's journey.

Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.

From the myth and legend of King Arthur, to the cult of the Bear, represented as a totemic symbol of strength and rebirth, going back to the Neanderthal period and even beyond. Manifesting the innermost spirit and being of the native European man. The Celts, the ancient megaliths of Britain and Ireland and the Druids. Spawning in the first millennium BC, spreading their sacred knowledge, tradition and magic throughout the entire European continent. What our ancestors knew and valued and practised, it is now our sacred duty to honour it and preserve it at all cost! For loosing such a treasure is the same as loosing oneself into the very abyss of time. Every sacred place is the place where eternity shines through time. The whole mistery of mythology is that of the metaphor!

“We’re in a free fall into future. We don’t know where we’re going. Things are changing so fast. And always when you’re going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. But all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It’s a very interesting shift of perspective . . . Joyfully participate in the sorrows of the world and everything changes.” —Joseph Campbell

There are a few paths that an individual can take. Choosing the right one, is a bit difficult. The more you try, the harder it gets. Eventually, you are coming to the realization, and your full potential shines like the brightest star in the night sky. Then you ask yourself, did I found it? Did I found the path? Did I succeeded? The answer lies in the realization of the choices you made from the very start and also around the axis of the path. How far you can go to achieve your bliss and do you have the means to do it? That remains to be seen. For it is up to the individual, and the individual alone to build his fortress in the aether and find they way inside, by discovering his true potential and embracing his own bliss. The key to your own fortress of the mind and of your soul is hidden in the deepest wells of the collective unconscious.

Great minds produce great works and great ideas. When I quote Aleister Crowley here, I do so because he had that greatness, despite all of the controversy surrounding him. Joe Campbell had it as wlel. His hunger for life and knowledge is what I respect in these people and certainly I don't worship the individual itself. They key of joy is really to become as disobedient and autonomous as possible in this day and age. I really think if someone really tries to follow their own bliss in a manner that will bring personal enlightenment and positive outcome towards oneself or the people he loves and respect, he can certainly succeed. But it requires really hard work. Working your ass off to achieve that, is the only way of achieving it. These things don't happen on their own. No external force can do it for you. Get inspired, create, enjoy, and inspire other people in the process. The result in the end will surely put you in a state of awe and the people around you. Start crafting reality through the means of Magic. Enjoy your life and always be aware of your potential. It is unlimited. First by examining yourself in a proper and non-destructive way, will lead you to paths, and doors will open that can lead you to a higher state of consciousness and a whole new and interesting world will open for you. A world of possibilities and adventures.
