This man, Joseph Campbell, is very articulate; and the other man, Bill Moyers, is a very good listener. It makes for a truly excellent and intellectual discourse. Thank you!
I keep watching this series again and again, just for the moments when I'm most receptive and can actually grasp some of the depth of the content. There are still parts that aren't quite penetrating through my ego yet.
It is difficult to put into words what the soul knows, and returning is simply standing still and allowing yourself to be. Psalm 46:10 KJV
1"0 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." ....just ask an empath.....
Agreed.!!
Everytime I watch I discover something new
some suggest that will happen when the ego (the illusion of yourself as a being) dissolves
You have said IT.
I love the language that JC uses to describe, to explain, to tell his stories of Mythology. He was a gift to the world. Listening to the series now...20 years ago
Manly P. halls lectures are also a must.
That last statement though 🤯. And there are those moments where he just wells up with joy you can just see his face beaming. It’s so amazing.
I noticed that too! Which put a big smile on my face!😅
Centuries of research, learning , knowledge disbursed to younger generation
I have been listening to this series back to back, this is amazing i truely love what im hearing it's so thought provoking. As an indigenous from NZ this is a great reminder of our connection to the spirit of nature and animals. Thank you 😍
Kiwi here too.
What a beautiful human being. Mr. Campbell has gone through his own hero’s journey and now plays the guide for us through his books and these interviews.
It's incredible that Joseph Campbell died mere months after this series! A true master!
A plan?
I suspect that he was at great peace when he made that transition.
So glad to see that Campbell gave such praise to Niehart's Black Elk Speaks at the end. We would be wise to bring true native understanding and wisdom back into our national soul before it's to late. Bears Ears National Monument co-management plan with 5 tribes is trying to attempt just such a thing. Campbell's life's work wisdom is everlasting

No it was Black Elk@@peterparker9286
Too late
Clearly in the short run most humans I've met in 65 years of living seem to prefer pessimism. Your not alone in you statement for sure.@@doctorcrafts
Thank, thank you, thank you!! I just can’t say it enough!!! Thanks!! This show had one of the most profound effect on my life!! Thank you so much and I pray that CZcams never takes these down!!! 🙏🫶💯💯💯🙇♀️
The biggest lesson here I wish the modern world would heed is that myth, ritual, religion are constantly changing, evolving in order to survive. I think the way we treat these things as fixed quantities continues to do great harm.
No one is hated more• than he/she who tells the truth- Plato
Good to learn Bill Moyers still alive December 2022. RIP Joseph Campbell.
An invisible plane supporting the visible 🌌🙏🏽 well put

NAMASTE 2 U & All💓🔔
Profound. Keep coming back to these. Meditating right now on these words - ritual and meaning are returning. Thanks for posting 🙏
Thank you to whomever has put this together Its truly appreciated
The "respect " for the animal that feeds you....the part of nature that sustains us, I think has been lost as has the respect for nature in general and the understanding that WE ARE IT and IT IS US.
I came across Joseph over 30 years ago and he was one of many that helped me along my path. The last 2 years I was showing the documentary Finding Joe to my students. If you haven't seen it, it can be found on youtube
Yes, it's tragic that we've lost that connection to nature and that reverence for how the animal we eat sustain us.
Here is that documentary, Finding Joe: czcams.com/video/s8nFACrLxr0/video.html
For another high quality treatment of this same point, I strongly recommend to you (and your students) Daniel Quinn's novel The Story of B.
That last 5 minutes with blackout, such a great moment of learning. That guy was cool af.
This series is magical and full of wisdom.
I'm coming back to this series again, now in 2024. I watched it when it aired and then again in the mid 90s on Japanese public television. I've always gained something from every viewing. I am watching it on my Sunday nights before I go to bed, just like I did when it was on TV so many years ago. Cheers from Tokyo.

Powerful, truly powerful.
This series has been most enlightening and thought provoking, much ‘food’ for thought. I always try to remember the consciousness of all the food I eat with a prayer of thanks. We look upon the ancient right of ‘blooding’ a Hunter, like we in the west have considered barbaric as seems to have been carried on up until quite recently in the UK, and was a common occurrence in traditional Hunts, by abandoning it, as a ritual ‘rite of passage’, actually goes way back to pre history. By banning this activity in Britain has possibly severed one of our last link to the food giving animal world. When we had the pandemic, we were banned from churches and gatherings such as harvest festivals, so that last vestige of our communal links to the past, and the spirit world of the consciousness we consume, we are breaking the cycle. Could this be the reason that the we are plunging much of the Western world into what may be difficult times ahead food wise? It may seem unconnected, but if we do not respect our land and treat it with its due reverence, nature will in tern withold their sacrifice for our benefit. This will lead to starvation. Only places where the rituals survive in significant number, and not those places reliant on manufactured or adulterated food, they will be led into full slavery and be fully reliant on manufactured produce for their nutrition. By abandoning or phasing out of these spiritual food and fertility rituals over the years, as we become more ‘progressive’, and disconnected with our planet and the way we live and feed ourselves and live selfishly, taking and not giving respect back, then services withdrawn by Mother Earth and we’re on our own. Quite a scarey thought really. Maybe we ought to start bringing back some of these rituals as a matter of some urgency. Maybe we can learn something from our Pagan forebares, where most of these customs and rituals, dances, festivals, feasts and even town carnivals came from prior to Christianity, and were kept on to appease the old memories, to slowly whither away, and then slowly erased from memory by other distractions. Maybe this is why the Native American elders speak, that during trying times, only those that observe the spiritual niceties, will be able to thrive in any meaningful way, notwithstanding external devices. So the ritual carried out when a young huntsman on his first kill is ‘blooded’, goes back to a time when they depended on the animals they killed, they had to introduce the new hunter to the tribe and spirit world possibly, and why they would eat the liver straight away so that they got that first nutrient as a gift from the slaughtered animal to replenish them, also because they would need to be eaten first as they were difficult to preserve. I’m guessing they wouldn’t kill animals for fun, but it would possibly be spiritual bad manners not to get a thrill of the hunt, so long as the sacrifice of the hunted animal is appreciated and utilised to the fullest extent.
Have you noticed that science is EXACTLY LIKE these rituals, but the name is changed to “theory” instead of god or spirit, and they follow clues to find the eternal principles…? Like tracking a living thing? We also get amazing technology and benefits from this epistemological hunt. We hunt to “eat” with our minds. Spiritual sustenance from knowing empirical truth.
So I think it was actually understanding the Tao or manitou of the animal. Learn the lesson and partake like with the Christian sacrament. Every organism has a “manitou” or meaning-an eternal intrinsic meaning. With language, human’s greatly amplify this.
The centre of the world is where stillness and movement are together where movement is time and stillness eternity ⭐️💕
Years ago, in a cultural anthropology class, we studied Campbell. One of the best classes I took.
Bill Moyers was so freakin cool.
I wish people would stop saying that animals don't think about death... when they absolutely do! Elephants will go back to the bones of a beloved member of the group, and other species of shown similar behaviour.
These episodes always bring peace over me. Holiday time for soundtracks and reason; they grow up wise and tall when truth and belief can coexist
this is so surreal. what a gift. thank you for posting.
My favorite storyteller Joseph Campbell
Extraordinaire ! Thank you for sharing ! This man is incredible, a good teacher what's he revealed will feed me for decades. Thanks so much to him and everybody that makes it hapened. Namasté
Professor Campbell is a very kind and interesting fellow, pleasing to
listen to and thought provoking.
As to Mr Moyer, I shall fellow the
maxim that if your can't say something nice don't say anything at all, to wit:
The power of Joseph Campbell 😊
Amazed and infinitely thankful!
thank you for posting this❤️
Love hanging out with the smart kids. 😁👋
The thou and it reflects it well even today
life is a wonderful experience.
God loves it when you give your best.
and so do you.
For someone so learned of the past, Campbell was wise to point to the future. It's sad to see people here launch into the same old bleating about the "good old days" as if doing a rain dance will cure society's ills. He said as much in the previous part, and he alluded to it in this--we are a new society with new knowledge, a new domain. We need new myths--ones local and relevant to our modern experiences. People end up seeking out stories or meeting like-minded folk and creating their own in the process--but if you never do, or if yours conflicts with what our society demands of you, you get those lost souls.
Campbell is an American treasure and gave us so much to think about more deeply. But I don't agree with some of his conclusions. Our religions kept us believing that we all need an intermediary between us and higher spiritual awareness (Heaven, Enlightenment) In my opinion, we are all responsible for our own advancement to higher levels of awareness. No shaman or Priest can do the work for us. They can be a friend - a supporter, but the work remains ours. Victory or defeat is in our hands.
I think he would agree with you, actually. He explicitly said that any true myth should be “transparent to transcendence”, so no set of religious symbols can really save anybody, it has to happen for real inside yourself. The symbols only show the way, but each one of us has to walk there with our own legs, in our own manner.
Campbell was indeed wise
He was just a narrator

Wonderful! Thank U 🙏

This is so good. Thank you 😊
I can’t get enough of this
This is some beautiful stuff, I love it.
So fantastic and inspiring to listen to.
Truly extraordinary! Mind opening perspective
This is true awakening to it's highest power possible! Joseph Campbell brings together all human knowledge and truths from time and memorial ❤ the best compilation or library known to man in his research a true walking library for all time !! Josephs own hero's journey was to put This together for mankind! Truly the greatest gift 🎁 a mind could ask for ...a hero wearing eternitys' ever-changing mask of consciousness
Iam 21 years old as am commenting this comment, many of the things which were discussed in this episode are things I am unaware of, I truly wish, that as time passes on, I want to accumilate enough intellect to grasp each and every detail being discussed in this video. Namaskaram🙏🙏🙏
8:42 a lovely metaphor. This body isn’t worth dwelling on!!😊
Excelent book,great to hear audio version,thanks!😊
Great information-- Bill Moyers is a skillful interviewer and Joseph Campbell a wonderful insightful teacher.
THIS. 🙏🏻❤️🔥

This is so good🌟
And each of us is a manifestation of this mystery 🙏.

You just inspired me a beautiful poem! Thank you!🙏
Thank you
Brilliant
Sería un gran aporte que pusieran subtitulos en español para poder seguir mejor a Joe en sus maravillosas e inspiradoras exposiciones! Gracias por considerarlo! 🙏🏼🤗🇦🇷
This book changed my life. It was my first knowledge of him. Everything had new meaning . We have lost our way, and these Myths are being buried in technology . Yuk.
25:17 This is giving me the most impressive goose bumps!
It's just so good
I would just like to add to Bill Moyers statement on thinking animals dont think theres an after death experience, elephants bury their dead, they mourn at the funeral site often for over 24 hours straight, and they return to the burial sites to visit their dead, so at the very minimum and Im sure theres more, elephants believe in something we likely could scarcely even fathom
I gave child of the Sun the Peacock feather and child of the Moon the Turkey feather. They are on their way!
The ads are very disruptive.
Keep going! You will get it as I did!
Kinolober, thank you for all these video's again, with Bill Moyers and the amazing thinker and writer Joseph Campbell. A journey of the consciousness,(subconscious,) a walk of deep insights. All great religions faiths, indigenous cultures for centuries, wars, and religious divisions beginning 3500 years before Christ. It is a journey, and it begins inside of you.
Krishnamurti ❤ Everyone has their own journey. World histories, philosophy, sciences, religious divisions, books of great writers and literature, poetry, music and creative arts, dance, painters for centuries. Creative arts are the glue that hold our world together.

At 16 went pheasant hunting for first time with dad,grandpa.Shot one and instantly said,"thank you"
Was not raised in any type of religious household.
Did everything not to cry in front of the alpha males....never hunted,again
Have no idea what invoked such gratitude and 40 years later the experience remains
My gifts to the world are my children. They came through me. That's why I always drive them wherever they need to go.
Our children are the only thing we pass along to maintain the species. All our accomplishments are for naught if there is no one in the future to make use of them.
A question is, when did we start to think of ourselves in this regard?
When we realized the connection to the mind and the monochord. A tempered scale is like your tempered mind called Temperament or Temperamental. The circle of 5ths was discovered in 600 BC by the Greeks. Who also gave us the idea of death and resurrection.
0:29 has a very Marty Staufer vibe to it.
0:50-what you just described is myth, too
Joseph Campbell is the embroidery the embryo of consciousness and awakening stitching all mythology across time and memorial, from beginning to present moment!
2:40 that’s a myth too. We do not experience death! Lol
26:53 change in one psychology just by saying THOU. Wow! Yes it works!
Yeah this is why I keep rewatching this, that's very powerful and I missed it on previous listens / watches
This might be the most kino video series ever produced
22:20 are we having similar encounter of a bird from Ramayana ? "Have you seen Sita"? Jatayu was asked
Over lunch the deacon explained that he had studied at the University of Chicago under Campbell’s friend, the anthropologist Mircea Eliade. The deacon informed me that on his deathbed Joseph Campbell asked for a Catholic priest and was reconciled with the church of his childhood.
He just wanted to hear one last myth
The artist function is the mythololzation of the world.
Watching the Japanese torture that little bear was unbearable.

The circumpolar bear cult i thought it was like a part of history unknown 😳 a ancient religion that was around in cave man days it we from the mountain ⛰️ of Europe to the east all the way to Alaska.

Cave a temple made by nature
Church temple made by man
Both are cruel
So disappointing that he fell for the exposure effect bias when talking about crime. He thinks the amount of disturbing news in the newspaper means crime is out of control when the data is quite clear that violence trends down exponentially with civilization and technological progress.
He was a genius. I just don't think he really understood the bible,like most western people we were taught in university to hate the bible and everything that has to do with cristianity, like, because of the horrible things the Church did, that somewow has something to do with the thing itself, like it's not the people that were wrong, it's the book...Joseph Campbell would have leanerd a lot with Jordan Peterson.
yeah sorry but on that one I do have a different opinion as far as rituals go and that we have to keep them alive. How is the circumcision of a boy less barbarian than people in the western countries commiting crimes? That are rituals that are important and to know their symbology and use is to be rememberd in some way, because of the depth of their meaning. But I will disagree on the part of having to keep certain rites. One more thing, sure, a women become a women by nature but I'm by is by far not obligated to having to give physical birth, that is also a social expectation that is now falling away, which is, again in my opinion, a positive. I do not shame people that do want to have children obviously, it has nothing to do with that, but a women should not feel lees of a women because she might for one maybe not have menstruation or children, again it's consciousness, everyone is more then just their mare bodies and more then the rituals.
'how is circumcision less barbarian than crimes?' what?!??!
I love Joseph Campbell, but when he uses the word "Barbarian" I would expect him to understand it's orrigins which is from the Berber tribe of North Africa in Morocco and Ageria (really Sahara desert), That word is used as a racisr slurr. Jus as Savages was towards Native American among others from the white colonists. Once again, understanding that no one is perfect and to think for yourself and never take anoyone's perspetive as concrete.
You're indoctrinated, the word comes from a PIE root.
from PIE root *barbar- echoic of unintelligible speech of foreigners (compare Sanskrit barbara- "stammering," also "non-Aryan," Latin balbus "stammering," Czech blblati "to stammer").
