If you're here, you are on a journey ♥
I felt that 😢
AMEN!!🙏
I love you!
It's been a tough journey, but I can handle it.
@@allenhay4811 let me join u, we have each other's back
Campbell said that when you truly enter the Hero's Journey, allies come your way. I believe everyone here are allies to eachother.
pedophiles?
You're right
everyone? 😂😂
never saw a sing ally. lots of adversaries. they come out of the woodwork.
Dont hide behind crown buddy , its a solo journey for each
This is not a myth, I am really living this right now, presently. It's also referred to as esoteric spiritual awakening/initiation.
This sounds familiar 😮 church
Self-Discovery is NOT about the human species, but about rediscovering "The LIGHT of MAN", The Real Self....
a year and half now. still in my journey. fear is gone, and old paradigms shifted. it was extremely painful, but i love it now. its weird that i dont want it to end despite the troubles surrounding me.
Nameste 🙏 You got this❤️
All the heroes that lived and will live are with you
👁👍👍
@Infinite Shoeblack 👁👍
Allez chris!
The masculine and the feminine combines as one , heaven with earth ❤️
"We have to get rid of the life we've planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us." J. Campbell.
love this
Jonathon Young makes The hero's journey sing. What a gift this man to understand it sooo eloquently. I need to more about this guy.
Once you get past fear. The journey will be much easier.
Is it possible to have no fear? I think it's an emotion that we will always have but maybe it's possible to control it consciously?
One of the 3 most healthy revelations, when one realizes that fear are learned, Socialized into us, and only exists in our mind due to: insecurity, uncertainty, the concern of having to do w/o something desired...
Our reality is 99.999% the Universe matching our Frequency of our Thoughts/Focus/Feeling/Knowing-Believing/Expectation's, the energy-vibration-frequency.
We literally can create anything, and it is Absolute.
Few really capture their potentials,
@@musicviking I think even the fear is necessary. It's only through fear that one can find their courage. Only in the dark can you see the stars. It's all about duality. You can't have one without the other.
@@shwetanavani480if you think this you still in fear
This is so on point because I got my spiritual awakening to an end now and I have so much wisdom now and so much has been lost and cleansed for something extraordinary beyond anyone or anything could imagine I feel so connected to everyone and everything now. Most of all I am connected to God now and am more humble. All the pain and sadness made me grow out of disgustfully fixed beliefs. Thank you Allah and Thank you 2020 for making me strong wise and spirtual
Not alot of people can sympathise with what you wrote, they shall reach this state eventually,
Im glad for you
I mean how humble can you really be saying things like you've been cleansed for something extraordinary beyond what anyone could imagine? XD
Nonsense....
The awakening has begun.
It took years as a teenager when I realized last year I was coming home to the Exilir. From my Journey, ANIMUS and ANIMA at work together into one Consciousness. last Sunday as I walked into my complex I saw a sign that read "Welcome Home" did not notice that sign in all the years living in my complex. I am so much Wiser and Noble full of life in my Shining Armored Knight. much love for everyone here because this is no coincidence.
The dying makes space for something new to be born.
I understand now.
To live is to die a thousand deaths🙂
Thank you Universe🙏🏽📿😌🧘🏽♀️
Bible says everything was created including the universe by the word
The second person of the God head his name is jesus
@@jeffbogue5022 honestly how much sense does that make ? If I may ask
When we have leaders that consider us all as their people we will have truly mastered humanity.
When we have leaders possessing true leadership qualities embodying the foundation of what it is to lead. There must be an understanding of how a herd following behind to truly lead
@@witeporcelan when putting the minds(es) and hands to steady work. A leader provides a meaning for each individuals existence. A leader looks to win an nurture the hearts of his enemy by showing his/her/ enemies follower how great thier lives could be, not by less but by gaining more. Education; health,shelter, tranquility and love.
Stop seeking leaders and be your own. Nobody gonna save you
I enjoyed listening to Joseph Campbell, around 1989. Deep thinker! I bought his series Power of the Myth. It put religion on a level of symbolism where it belongs.
It's not all mere symbolism. The fact the letters of Genesis 1:1 draws a two-torus is knowledge beyond the level of mere symbolism, although there is symbolism that draws from it. The toroid vortex creates a flame shape that forms every letter of the Hebrew alef-bet. The toroid flame is the Tree of Life and the tree bearing fruit whose seed is within itself. The flame of consciousness. It is also related to hero's journey but it is heavily connected to words. Words are how thought and consciousness flows from the singularity of one's mind, out into the expanse of the external world. It reflects the flow of consciousness/information from the one light to the expanse of the multitudes.
The human biofield is a toroidal EM field. It is through the biofield that the body follows the mind.
Whoever wrote the Torah, had an intimate knowledge of nature and of consciousness, displaying understanding beyond mere symbolism.
I've been studying this for a while now, its so interesting. Looking at the Bible, these stories are all depictions of man fighting against his true nature. Noah internal fight is depicted with the harsh waters in the flood. Jesus fighting his true nature in the desert. Moses fighting with God before freeing the Israelites. Jacobs fight against his true nature before becoming Israel. There's so many connections and its so interesting.
Great to know my brethren are awakening from the false delusion.
The current period on "Mother Earth" is expressing the "labour
pains" of a new age, hence the many "Social Upheavals" etc.
Stay firm and strong on your quest for that - "Holy Grail / Philosopher's
stone" ! Peace & Blessings.
@ I will, thank you!
@ is the Holy Grail, the symbol of transformation itself, or the knowledge of it?
@@BG-jj8zd Great question ! All these are symbols, even what you touched upon within the biblical scriptures. The Mystics of Islam also, (Sufis) knew that the Quran should not be taken literally. Only the common folk find it most difficult to decipher and comprehend !!
"Knowledge of Self" has been kept hidden and distorted
deliberately for centuries. "He / She who knows themselves, knows Allah (God) also." (Muhammad ibn Abdullah).
@ beautifully put. Its interesting trying to explain this new understanding to people stuck in the old paradigm.
This is how you come an disciple of your maker .
I love stuff like this. Every day I strive to be a better person than I was yesterday. And try as I may to do something for a stranger without any explanations of any return.

@Jeremy Mettler read meister eckhart he understood god where many christians failed
@Jeremy Mettler you write in scrambles ,read eckhart only those who know in direct experience self and god know there is no difference there is only 1 thing the essence is same.
@Jeremy Mettler are u an ai bot
@Jeremy Mettler perhaps not
This whole *Hero Journey* is representative and symbolic to the process and progress of a *Spiritual Awakening & Dark Night of the Soul* experience. Now I know what to reference to when I’m trying to explain a S.A to someone. lol. Great story and video!!
To me the hero journey is a parable of the sun's journey through the sky during the year and it long procession. The sun is the hero, the sun of god, the light, etc etc ... Without the sun we don't survive. In our past we had a much more intimate relationship with our daily survival and the sun was out biggest hero. These stories likely go way way back to pre-history. They usually use the stars (constellations) to tell a story. It was the most important story for survival knowing when to plant when to harvest. It was passed down in orally in story form to be remembered. It was the most important information to pass on to future generations survival. The story has changed and shifted over too many years to count from age to age. But most of the most famous myths king arthur, humpty dumpty, the bible etc have clear references to astrology and constellations. I can imagine early man telling these stories during campfires pointing to the constellations as they describe each character. Why are there always 12 knights? 12 apostles ? Once you understand the zodiac alot of old stories click. Remember it's only recently Astronomy eclipsed Astrology. For thousands of years when many of these myths were written Astrologers where looked upon with the highest regard. Originally Astrology was applied to learn Earth's cycles and master agriculture. It's only in our age the study "seems" useless. Columbus and many sailors until recently used Astrology to navigate the ocean. Astrology gets a bad reputation today but in it's time/era it was extremely valuable and useful information for human survival. Alot of these stories have alot of common themes like the 12 knights point I made earlier. Find the common threads in these stories and look to the zodiac and stars for there meaning.

@@baroqueguitarist5673 great explanation! I totally agree.
Well put. Thank you for sharing ✨🌙
@@baroqueguitarist5673 So below, as above.
This video has changed my mindset. I have been feeling like this for so long and never knew what it could be
lightbulb moment, this is what i am going through at the moment, spiritual awakening

@@LOLBu facts thank you. We’re in this together fear is only used to tear us apart.
songs of innocence and experience tell that story very well! Good luck in you journey my friend!
Trust the process 🙏
It’s the same ole’ story that never bores thee
Plots re-watched begot of prophecy
A child of heartache with the will of stone
Death of delusions to the iron throne
From last to first and return to back
First to serve to reverse collapse
Swords in stone in stones recast
The one alone who’s shown the path
The path is paved of heroes past
The path can’t pave till heroes pass
The path awaits if they come back
The path engraved heroic acts
The call in all yet few take heed
The fall installed precedes proceed
Run, walk, crawl, when all stampede
Understanding tall in creed and deeds
I can’t imagine a better story
Explore the lore you’re allegory
We store stories that restore history
The hero’s journey is not a mystery
did you write this. its incredible.
Beautiful!
coming out of mine after 2 years, final chapter now. Thank you for this, your light eases my soul
I think this is so much deeper than the way this guy explains it. I don't think he's gone through the Heros Journey. If he did he would understand this and be able to explain it on such a deeper level.
Agreed. Although his other job is to make this information accessible to as many people as possible. A compromise he manages adequately
Live your life, listen to your intuition not the toxic mind and let it guide you, be grateful and things will come to you, live a heroes journey.
Dude this all about the spiritual awakening!!!
I’m floored right now. So much to take in an process. I guess thanks for some elixir/knowledge well knowledge but also ourselves as a person, I’m trying 😅.
I was literally writing in my notes: 'Think about a synthesis (Hegelian) between masculine and feminine journeys (nothing that now the feminine part is dying: aesthetics, humanities, care, meaning, subjectivity, nature, etc.)' Then you just went: "There was a shift to masculine Gods and from a Hegelian point of view we need a synthesis.."
Thank you for inspiring me with your great words Joseph Campbell
I was just watching this out of curiosity and learned a lot from this video, kinda made me want to write my own heros journey
Come back for inspiration as needed. Write your story.
The sword of confidence has brought you here
Congfu is a journey to balance and harmony
One of the best and simpliest educational explanation of "The/Our Life/Death Journey" I have ever heard and seen. Thank you 🙏🌞🕊
The earth is a garden, humanity is the plant life in that garden, and the monomyth is the trellis we grow upon.
You have just explained to me exactly what has been happening to me. My daughters death from cancer on 11/23/19... that is what woke me up. Now I cant stop learning an seeking. I'm 51an for over 20 yrs I was an addict an everything. I'm clean an your right there is absolutely no way I could go back. I truly believe that I had a NDE when my child passed even though I never died maybe it was because I died on the inside I ran out of time. All my yrs of active addiction I used to always say to myself I will get clean next week. Over 20 yrs later I watched my child slowly die. I ran out of time. Then her father was hit an killed by a drunk driver 18 mos after her. But I'm still the very best version of myself ever. I know shes with me I feel her love an there is absolutely no way I will ever let her down again.
This happened to me. Lost my dad a month ago to cancer. My abbyys I moved onto cannabis into heavy drugs to the point of seeing all my life flash before me and I sat on a floor for two months straight going from 300 pounds to 170. I became homeless with nothing left. I’m at my revelation now, in treatment, learning lots, feeling motivated and writing my film thesis. Start paying attention to every detail and every sign in life it’s talking to you. The universe has your back.
Thank you Gaia i am the source of my own abundance thank you my guidance Universe
Spiritual Quests were a thing of the past, nowadays the Quest is for popularity or for a paycheck, people have forgotten about the true essence of being a Human, we could def use a Joseph Campbell in this day of age
This video is very intriguing, on point, and makes 100% sense through n through. Well done
Thank you for traveling with me on this journey.
10:57 “it’s frightening when our destiny is obvious..”
🙏🙏🙏really needed to hear this right now, at the particular juncture life has just thrown me into! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
For once the live comments were not so bad...good group of people overall. Even Mr. President from the pot was cool lol. Seriously though, I was very shocked everyone for the most part got along. Another great one
journey to conquering this borrowed self 💪
To the person reading this:
You are who you are.
You are a gorgeous and beautiful creation.
You are a masterpiece.
You are who you are.
You are strong and courageous.
You can absolutely do it.
You are powerful.
Remind yourself that you are who you are.
Move forward with your determination, and conviction.
You can absolutely do it.
Have a great day ahead,
Remember you are who you are.
❤️❤️❤️
Of course I am all that. I am literally god
I think this spiritual perspective on life is a very sensitive topic for most people and to actually try teach others at this point in the evolutionary process of man requires we embody it ourselves first and live it as role models. Directly speaking about it to others won’t draw much attention at this time I’m afraid. It also challenges us spiritual folk to practice what we preach by actively utilizing and living out the wisdom we have gained and wish to impart to others. The beauty of it is, it is actually very simple for us to teach others ❤️🙏🏻
I’m on empowerment. It feels amazing, and was worth the wait. Now I must initiate ACTION
Good to read: Maps of meaning of Jordan B Peterson.
Nah. Staying in to "clean up a room" is dismissing the call to adventure to choose morbid comfort-seeking instead
@@Dan-ud8hz also jordan peterson sux
@@Dan-ud8hz I think you missed the point. Before you can go and answer the call to adventure, you must clean up your room or you will fail at the adventure/self discovey.
@@matejhosner1980 I understand the point, it's just bad advice, dangerous in the wrong literal and figurative context: it's stupid to "clean up your room" if your "house is burning down".
Clean up your room is the exact opposite of heeding a call to adventure.
@@Dan-ud8hz But your house isn't burning down so clean your room you lazy bum.
my prayers have been answerred ! Oh praise the Holy G*d !
Humanity is going now through hero quest. From enslavement and hierarchical systems to decentralised systems cooperating together without third parties.
Maybe first must be worse and our comfort zone must be broken for us to realise that we have power and tools already...
Profound. Don’t use that lightly. Think I’m just about to enter my toughest challenge of all.
What an episode! Life is such a beautiful mystery with all the good and bad in it. I love it!
Very well spoken. Great insights. Well put together. Kudos.
Glad you liked it!
Ditto
It’s Time!! ✨💡 ✨, I needed this!
I believe many don’t make it through this process alive because many don’t understand what is actually happening. I know I didn’t. I seriously thought I was dying and even drove myself to the ER. I was dying... the old broken, traumatized and sinful me had to die, in order to make room for the new and for God to be able to be purify, prune, purge and heal me fully. (John 15) for me was a living hell. I am so grateful and thankful I have made it to the finish line... well almost to the finish line. I’m proof there is a God, otherwise I wouldn’t have made it through my whole ordeal. It all started 3 years ago. I got teary eyed when, the man said that God was calling Samuel because I now understand God was/is calling me. Thank you for that. ❤️I believe He has been calling me for a lot of my life but I didn’t realize it until recently. Remember often times, things get worse before they get better. There will always be bad times in this life, the goal is to withstand the storm. God please bless, heal and protect everyone here!!❤️🙏🏼
I did my Hero's Journey with the New Warriors through the Mankind Project at Camp Colby, Los Angeles, 2017.
Love, respect and gratitude
This was so amazing. I wish every video was this informative.
I thoughally enjoyed every part of this, Thank you ever so much.
Dr youngs voice is also so relaxing & meditive to listen to which also helps tremendously.
Wow i was divinely guided here and I'm speechless!!!!!
A very inspiring and compelling reading of the Hero's story! Thank you!
I have hope for the future. Although there are brush fires of war across the globe, humanity as a whole, is starting to wake up. The hero's journey is about improving the human condition, if ever so slightly, by improving upon our own status quo.
omg please do more of these, i love your heart and work :)
He taught me to look at stuff and i came up with a key. A secret to people from a book open life thank !

Thank you for this great wisdom and lecture.
I really enjoyed this whole series on Gaia. Great Minds Series
All new ideas are always ridicule and then welcome. Thank you very much.
Thank you much!
Thank you!
Best explaination of the hero's journey yet.
Thank you so much
Thanks sir❤️
I loved this piece. Of course, the Hero's Journey is not new, and even thought in many instances I disagreed his real life application of the various Hero's Journey, Mr. Young's ability to bring myth into the modern world was great.
Woah! 1st ever gaia video i watched from start to end without skipping even once! Thank you for this! It all makes more sense now!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you
Thank you 🙏❤️
No problem 😊
Omg this was absolutely amazing 💗
Amazing informations! Thank you for sharing this documentary with us!
Lovely video. Thank you. It has confirmed everything I believe and have experienced. Love light and blessings. 😇❤
Wise words of a thousand page packed into 30 minutes!!
loves this thank YOU
Well said good reflections of Joseph Campbell
Like the way he explains great voice
I am a vocational teacher and used in Joseph Campbells philosophy in my classroom about life and disappointments, and sit backs
Thank you, very interesting. ❤
Love this, thank you.
he explains so well
I love, love, love this episode.
thank you
This was SO good! Thank you!
3 years of hell and trials, and now am returning
I think that ability to be anble to notice and change something in the world for the better comes from an understanding of the language of the world. Being able to understand someones countenance and read their body language.
Amazing!! Thank you so much for this video. Soo inspiring!
Brilliant man brilliant words
This was so amazing. I love Gaia. I have to subscribe. So powerful and wonderfully said. He was perfect for this message.
Thank You VERY Much 🙂
You're welcome!
Thank you 💫
You are so welcome!
Thanks mr Young, that was really cool and inciteful
Thank you 🙏🏽
Wow it good to read or listen to history this is happening to me now so many things have happened to me and I still passing through it.thank you Gaia for the advice
