Myth lets you know where you are across the ages of life - at 40 or at 80...
This video is a brief excerpt from interviews filmed with Joseph Campbell shortly before his death in 1987, previously unreleased by the Joseph Campbell Foundation - www.jcf.org

I think Goethe said something along the lines of " the more you know, the more doubtful you become. Only he who knows little is sure of his convictions."
Hey its 2023 ❤
Wow❤
2023
Joseph Campbell wisedom has NO expiry date!
Divine
Shakespeare, too. Macbeth.
“Dunning-Krueger effect” is how this paradox is known.
1:53 - "The mask represents the power that is shaping the society, and has shaped you, and now you are a representative of that power." Damn this man was a prophet.
And by today’s standards. He was far ahead of the times.
The way he could so effortlessly string that sentence together. Ugh. What an inspirational mind.
But actually he is talking about rituals way in the past
A beautiful man, dying of esophageal cancer, exerts himself in spite of being tired and very sick, to share the passion of his life's work with others before his death. THANK YOU JOE, and God bless you-you followed your bliss, and your work lives on!!
Thank you for reminding us of this detail at the time of this recording.
His enthusiastic bliss became an endless sphere of knowledge, “ ... All I Know Is What I Read In Books 📚....”
He passed the baton on.
Chronic stress leads to different kinds of illnesses, being a workaholic or working without resting shouldnt be seen as a good thing, especially if someone is sick. Take a look at this video, talking about chronic stress comes from your environment and where you was raised from your parents will affect who you become as and how you treat yourself. ruclips.net/video/c6IL8WVyMMs/видео.html
Thank u
@@perciousmatter7001 as soon as I read your comment I knew exactly what video you were suggesting before I clicked it.. Lol. I have listened to hours of Dr. Maté. Love his work. So important.
3:35 "... a psychology of of dependency is developed... a psychology of submission... asking for approval... expecting reproof... [...] how are we going to break out of that psycho bondage into self-responsible authority... courage for what our thoughts are and our life .. this is the problem of killing the infantile ego..."
That part moved me .
That part is all the point of adulthood. Independence in everything, especially your thoughts
Crazy to think that you can be old but psychological an infant and dependant, this includes family and spouse
In todays society we need to have more rites of passage. More initiation into adulthood, more guidance in this world. This is why we have so many young adults acting like children and are confused on who they are and what they should do.
I agree
Nathan Toby yes.
Nathan Toby ... ~ very true
That’s what Freemasonry is for.
@saganist Sadly, it appears the American educational system has turned on its own citizens. Universities have become nothing more than leftist indoctrination machines that are hostile to dissenting views. They're politicized bastions of groupthink and not engines for the dissemination of knowledge. It's depressing and more than just a little concerning.
Our society is so devoid of spirit and meaning. I wish there were rituals like that. Some communication of meaning in life.
The whole, get a career, move to the city garbage makes me want to die.
I'm going to go on an adventure instead.
Keenly said. In so saying, you've already taken the first steps of the emergent shaman. I think you may find some tools of worth below:

Wise choice, seek for yourself and you’ll always find something worth looking for
Initiation rituals in modern society are thougher and last much longer than the spiritual initiations of other societies (like in the New Guinea).
All the boy has to do in New Guinea is defeat his father masked as a deity (the father let's him win ofcourse).This leaves him with a sense of strength when in fact
it was all pretending.
In modern society boys are truly left on their own to go and beat the deity and take its power for their own and find meaning in doing so. This is the way in which boys can
truly be proud of their achievements. Also, their achievements are true and not pretending. But unfortunately people don't see any deity in becoming a doctor, or an engineer
or learning the craft skill of your father, or mastering any other skill. People think it's just a job, something you have to do to survive, they can't see any power or spirituality in something so mundane.
So what I'm saying is that you should be proud of how tough initiation rituals in the modern society are. They don't even tell you that you are being initiated. You are left on your own and if you get through to the other side you are truly a man. It's not much of a trial if every boy gets through. It would be much the same as the "every partacipant gets the medal".
It's fun to imagine Joseph Campbell as the Wise Old Man archetype.
Justin Lawson ☺ wow! That's cool.
That metagame
He is
He for sure channeled that energy
The baboon in the Lion King
He seems like the Richard Feynman of Humanities.
I agree
But not with a New York accent, a Boston accent.
Think about the initiation ritual he describes and how it relates to Luke Skywalker's arc in the original Star Wars trilogy. Lucas openly admits that Campbell was his major philosophical influence in crafting that story and it shows in how a boy (Luke) fights an elder with a mask who has a godlike appearance (Darth Vader) and eventually triumphs to become an adult Jedi hero.
I think it's more of a jungian archetypical hero story arc. The hero starts on top of their world. That would be when Luke is younger with Obi Wan, and lives in a very narrow, simple world. Then, there's the fall of the hero, and is usually when their world stops being simple and opens up into a more complicated world/narrative. The hero then has to overcome this through whatever means necessary. That would be when he is training with Yoda. After that, they have to go and face the thing that created the fall. In this case it would be that Vader is his father and asks him to join him on the darkside to rule the galaxy. He even considers doing it. This is the representation of the shadow. After much pain and effort, the world is made simple and stable for the hero once again. To get there, they have to use everything they've learned to overcome it. Which is represented by using the force to blow up the death star, and brings order/safety back to the galaxy for more than just Luke.
What an amazing storyteller. I am honored to hear him speak.
You slay the "conscience" that society gives you, and live by YOUR OWN SOUL. "Dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem...." (Walt Whitman)
Joseph Campbell was right on the money and is a good source to listen to when you need to be reminded about ultimate truth.
desotoguitar or when you need to fall asleep in class because of his boring god damned videos.
We as a people need more educators like him.
That’s true
3:47 - this is what is poisoning our society so much today. Kids are never allowed to experience anything real or to ever face any trials, so they stay completely dependent forever. It's become a moral horror...
Speak for yourself I know too many kids that have faced horrors. What you’re attempting to describe is the power of self determination and it’s true this is stripped from so many because that’s what makes the society run
I've never heard of this guy a day in my life until today... Sometimes I Learn new things and I feel like I don't know anything...
These are one of those times.
It never stops, if you catch the bug
Humility, honesty and self-awareness are good things. That'll make you a better person. 🙂
bookguitarguy that’s the idea ;)
I hope in the (six years wow!) since you wrote this, you've found time to read The Hero With A Thousand Faces and/or Power of Myth. Campbell has his critics (and rightly so in many cases; see his comment about "simple societies"), but he was the first person in Western culture to stop looking at how folklore/mythologies differed and begin to examine the universal archetypes that bind us together as humans. That contribution to our intellectual repository was and in many ways still is revolutionary.
Follow Campbell’s work as well as that of Robert Moore.
"You have broken past the image as fact and understand the image as metaphor. And you are to represent what the metaphor stands for."
If you are to embark upon a journey that will lead you towards an understanding of our world the depth of which is positively abyssal, here is where you should start.
I came across a Jung book -- which, judging by the checkout history, pretty much nobody else had ever looked in -- in my high school library one day. Then,I came across Joseph Campbell while channel surfing. Came across Watts when I heard him on KGNU Radio, Boulder, where I was volunteering.
Eventually, I had the wonderful opportunity of interviewing Terrence McKenna,
shortly before he died. Like you say: it was like an intellectual dream. Not sure I've ever quite woken up from it.
"Mature Authority & Independence over Immature Inferiority & Dependency" - What an Honor to listen to The Late & Great Mythologist - "Joseph Campbell..." Gratitude!
Joseph Campbell's memory and depth of knowledge is immensely heroic!
It's terribly sad, but I'm afraid the Joseph Campbell Foundation spends more time monitoring RUclips for copyright infringement than it does promoting the wisdom and work of JC himself. Such is capitalism.
Robert Rico my same thoughts it's a real shame thank god there are some torrents with all the videos and lectures, this material must be free to anybody.
@@rug0s0 Which are the missing lectures from youtube?
This is Joseph Campbells work not Politics.
@@thomasgrabowski2202 oh ok I didn't kno
@@rug0s0 lmao free to anybody, fuck outta here
I really liked the baseball player analogy. Through rites of imitation when we are younger, we are able to develop this internal authority within ourselves, which in turn allows us to speak from our souls in the most free manner… which, since a lot of young people don’t seem to experience an initiation ritual, they grow up without the ability to speak freely from their soul. 4:59
"I always say that if you're going to go through for your PhD, you're in the Dependency Position till you're 35 or 40, and may Never get out of it. You can judge by the number of footnotes a scholar applies, as to whether he's got authority or is always simply hoping that somebody will feel that he has the Right authorities . . . " The breakthrough into authority is indeed impeded repeatedly for those talented in (cursed by) philosophy. Baseball talent is fortunately different.
Please explain again
Social media killed men
Thanks so much to the Campbell Foundation for posting this! The more of Joe's work that is shared with the world, the better off we will all be.
Thank you, and every time I hear Joe describe the rituals in more 'primitive' culrures, I really appreciate just how _impoverished_ our own culture has become.
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.
Joseph Campbell
Don't just follow your bliss. Not in today's world which is so full of artificial 'blisses' that will lead you nowhere but further into delusion. Rather start by following your blisters to find what real bliss is in the first place.
Campbell later corrected himself, saying he should have said "Follow your blisters"
The version I heard he says that following your bliss is the most dangerous path you could take.
oh man, this is GREAT stuff.

The PhD comment is on point! Most boys in Academia are dependent and have severe 'daddy issues' always looking for the big 'father figure' to approve of them.
I have discovered a glorious, lucid gem.
This reminds me of my first time on Acid. I thought I was gonna die but I outlived the fear and moved past the despair and was reborn a new man.
This was the healthy direction that psychology was heading until about 20 something years ago. Things in psychology began to change in favor of a "materialist activist" approach instead of this let's call it "self interpretive" approach - pioneered by masters like Carl Jung.
Psychology went from a path of self discovery to a "diagnostic medical industrial" model heavily influenced today by groupthink and political ideology.
It was a turning point that has been a catastrophe thus far for human societies across the globe. On the verge at that time of a deeply insightful and creative way of understanding ourselves we opted for "mood altering" medications and "pathology lables" instead - and thus reinforcing our own psycho pathologies as an unintended consequence.
Until we return to the path of self discovery we will not even understand what or who we are much less be able to curitively treat our mental and emotional distress and illnesses.
this guy was very special +
Joseph Campbell is a national treasure. Everytime I read "The Hero of 1,000 faces I think I'm right about to figure it all out and then poof, it's gone. Feels like Deja Vu. Joseph Campbell on Mythology and Religion and Noam Chomsky on governments, sociology, current events are the authority. They have literally read everything and feed us the cliff notes. Campbell will always be my favorite author.
You know, I've read a number of his books, but this is the first time I have heard his voice!
+33hegemon pretty cool dude, huh? +
Wounderfull
This man's teachings changed my life. I will never look at art, movies, books and life in general the same way ever again.
"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."-Joseph Campbell
Man, what an intense talker
Love him!!!
As an adult you don’t only have to play roles as society wants you to believe, you also have to fullfill your needs wich everybody in this world will tend to make you forget to their advantage
Never heard of him. This is my first time hearing him. Saw him in my related videos and now I plan on listening to him more. Great storyteller!
A baseball player with confidence in speech doesn’t equal maturity, most athletes in team sports are usually immature until their careers end and the reality of life hits them square on.
I have 2 young sons and I have no ritual planned for them, rather I spend time with them in conversations about life, friends, emotions, money and death. I like telling them about how society has evolved so that they are aware that their present experience is not how things always were nor how they will be. They get to put the puzzle together and live in home where they can freely think and freely talk.
I didn’t have that growing up, my sisters had to help me because my parents were not willing to talk about life for whatever reason, nor hang out with us and play. They are now strangers to me that I keep in touch with. I don’t want that for my kids, I want them to know that they are worthy of the respect that they’re earning as they age.
I’ll keep you posted.😂😂😂
"...well, the burial isn't as important as the kid thinking he's dead..." may be the best out of context sentence ever spoken
So God is just a metaphor for what man is supposed to be. So instead of taking God as fact (theism), we are to take God as a metaphor for maturity (societal social norms for adults), and we are supposed to represent "God" by acting mature.
We would be soooooo much better off if people took the Bible as metaphor first. The fact it's instantly dismissed because it isn't scientifically factual is a travesty. It's throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Contrast what even the most well-meaning Parents do for their children today: don't go there, it's dangerous. Don't climb that tree, it's too high or bicycle down that hill, it's too steep.
You CANNOT protect your child from every thing in the world that can do them harm. That is how you inculcate dependency.
My friend John Mastandrea has created some very on-point videos about growing up in the '70's on YT that are excellent references for what Campbell is discussing. You have to confront that which scares you because there is a huge difference between being scared and being afraid.
@Margaret I'm not trying to appear insulting or preachy, Margaret, because you seem like a good parent who has to work very hard to support her family. It's just that I think you are a little misguided to think that there is "little time for real parenting" today. Most parents I know are actually "too involved" in their children's lives, and I think that was the point of the original commenter.
I studied him for a semester. He is an Angel.
I wish I had a living mentor like Joseph Campbell.
Talking to this man would have been enlightening
+warmecanic we can still talk to him, in our imagination, or, as he said, our notion of ourselves……. om shanti +
In todays society where are these riuals that make us adults? Everything has become a "birthday". By which i mean that we go through things not by riutal and merit but rather just as a year passes. Im not saying that an individual cant have an event make them into an adult and psychologically independent, but rather that it is much more haphazard today with limited guides. I for one am thankful for a guide like Joseph Campbell who's work transcends his lifetime and moves me in mine
I love you, Campbell 💕💕💕 You have saved my life time and time again. Thank you heaven, for granting us a most beautiful human being.
It's called finding YOUR OWN PLACE in your community. The Stoics discuss this too in one of the discourses of Epictetus, in book 1, chapter 2, I believe. It's entitled, "How one can maintain your proper character in all things".
One of the brightest guys I've ever had the pleasure to read. The Power of Myth will blow your mind with how much he knows about Mythology.
He is very flamboyant with his gestures. His casual yet pin pointed movements and approach to explaining things with such imagery is quite fascinating. His hand positioning, arm, body posture and re-posturing, along with his facial and eye articulation is expressive of an idea, an opinion, a fact and a sincerity. whew.
Facing death prompts the child to activate what is repressed within them to overcome that death. What activates is the energy of the adult.
Being an adult means you stand on your own feet
asking no mercy, sympathy or quarter from the Universe
or any other man.
@moonlight4585 The traditional rite of passage for a girl was menses. Obviously that does not create an instant change but it should incite the awareness that she can get pregnant (there are consequences for sexual behavior) and can produce life (consequences, once again). In time most girls get pregnant, become mothers, and are in their traditional element. Males have to do something out of their own skills and break free from his mother.
@uneedtherapy42 : Yes indeed. I have rented a cabin about five miles into the woods north of Deep Cove British Columbia. I want to learn everything I need to know from a practical standpoint about survival and such before I go deep in the wilderness.
The cabin is by water access only, unless one hikes for half a day on a very challenging trail, which practically no one does in winter.
I shall be combining a 2000 calorie per day diet with living alone. I wish to lose 100 lbs.
@BrilliantOrb If you listen to his Democracy in the Kingdom of heaven, you'll understand how Christopher Hitchens echoes Watts' observations. I think this is good insofar as it points toward the foundations of an atheist spirituality which, whether atheists wish to admit it or not, is lacking. Atheists have destroyed God in a Nietzschean coup but replaced Him with nothing; what remains is a palpable emptiness. Golly, have I gone far afield.
So maturity consists into borrowing the mask of power and responsability from the gods or society, untill we become old and then we must leave it to others, to return into a state of dependency, irrelevance and also bliss before we die?
@Kurtlane
He chooses this example precisely because of its primitive straightforwardness. For this New Guinea society, the struggle against nature is directly experienced daily. The men are not training the boys to be bullies--that's quite cynical--but to viscerally and fearlessly protect their families and villages, which is perhaps the greatest responsibility demanded by their culture. The ritual is in fact drenched with sober responsibility and meaning for the culture from which it emerged.
I battled the Gods and the Goddesses, whom I worshiped in fear. As I ripped the masks off their faces, into thin air they disappeared. I wore each of their masks one at a time and each mask gave me a different feeling. With some I felt like a saint or a prophet, while others made me evil and ill. I realized these mask were not mine because none of the masks fit my face properly. The only thing left now was to burn each and every mask of these powerful entities. At the end I was left with a pile of ashes, which I scattered all over my body. Now, neither exist gods, goddesses, nor their masks! - RakAgn
***** Simply, from deep inside me. I am Sanatan Dharm. Well, that's my other YT identity.
any personal affirmation is a Mask....personal awakening and personal power is a Mask.....personal , individuated existense is a mask.....there is one true face......any claim to it is a mask
No, thanks, I prefer the monkey story. In the beginning, the monkey was destructiveness itself, but in the end it gave up all that, not because it found better ways to bully, not because that's what tradition dictated, but because the monkey itself decided that it's not the right way.
Seems to me some other adulthood ritual is needed - the ritual of accepting responsibility.
Did Joseph Campbell say anything about that? Anyone knows?
George Lucas brought me here
I guess that a person with real authority is confident enough to listen patiently and completely to anybody that challenges him. And then, exposing calmly his arguments without any doubt. (no violence involved)
This Video makes me emotional. It reminds me of my encounter with my drug addict father. I had to get up and fight the motherfucker. He wasn't wearing any mask, but we smoked weed together after this. Now I am a man :)
Primitive societies represent cultural dead ends. They have failed in a crucial step of development. Only when the individual escapes from the mores of the tribe can he begin a life of self-realization. This is the universal impetus of evolution for species are enhanced in power only by the developments of the individual. As long as the tribe holds sway the way of improvement is cut off.
Carl Harmeling well some primitive societies became the modern west, some were dead ends
I think the true purpose of myths- is to make adults realise that to be a hero or heroine and to give voice to the subconscious - you must consciously !!!!! show the people you love - that you love them not just in words - but by your actions x I believe doing this makes you an adult and mature - the goal that Mr Campbell talks about - like in the tale told to freud about the gold in the rocks that was hidden - then the lightening released that gold - people may love each other - but until they consciously ( not unconsciously ) show each other - with not only their words but their actions the reason for life ( love ) - and their subconscious - remain like the gold - hidden x

If watching a youtube video was the equivalent of the rituals in New Guinea Campbell was speaking about, yes. But it is not, and therefore, it does not mean much!
Mr. Campbell was one of my first teachers outside mainstream religion. I watched this person in high school. PBS back in the 70's.
Yo Elliott!
I can tell you the meaning of life: A lot of it is self-evident, as ALL Life indicates its own meaning and purpose, via the consistencies that display across all forms of life. All life grows, all life progresses and learns. All creatures seek contentment, peace and happiness. All life seeks to progress itself by procreating / multiplying itself and helping others - mainly its own - to also progress. We progress and find happiness as we choose correctly and wisely and continue to grow. You might enjoy my upcoming book, "Winning", DH Towers. released August 2015 [Pub. Xlibris]
DH Dowi Insightful thoughts.
I thought this a while back, why do we listen to men in power as if they know better than us? We don't have to be a product of some other man's ideas, who incidentally has only lived 40/50 years of his own life. Be your own authority, life is your gift to yourself!
Knowing is Being.
Being is not easy, but effortless. Knowing and being are not two. To know is to be and to be is to know. Anything other than being is effort. Knowing and being dependently co-arise without effort. If you don't know, you are making effort and therefore not being but doing!
Neither perception nor non-perception, but absolute presence in actuality. Non-personal. It is the essence that is, before duality arises, neither intellectual nor philosophical :)
Yes. Isness is. All else is an aspect of isness, but not isness in its entirety. It is like a camera aperture. Focus in on thought and thought is. Focus out on ..... and .......is.
Yes, emptiness is form and form is emptiness. The part is in the whole and the whole in the part. The Ocean in a drop and a drop in the Ocean :)
What a great Man, he's inspired so many to speak the Myths and Legends of the past. And yet in this day and age of feminism and govt control, so many Men are told to conform and be quiet.

Our society is destroying everything that makes being a human important. And that will lead to there being no more humans.
breaking past the mask as fact and instead as a metaphor...I see similarities to the allegory of the cave and looking past the shadows.
I am currently reading the book to this. First chapter is a definite brain buster. He was a modern philosopher.

his bio is the best.
excellent talk, be a man ,wake up! thx to Joseph Campbell!
I listened so intently that I was disappointed when the video ended.
God bless your soul, Papa Joe.
I would love to hear Campbell explain how Dunning-Kruger makes the incompetent appear self-realized and whether we should really worry so much about self-actualization at all. I get it though: in 2021, there just are enough adults in charge.
This is extremely powerful.
There is no more community in the western world though.
MEN NEED THIS. WE NEED RIGHTS OF PASSAGE. WE NEED STRUCTURE AND GOALS AND CHALLENGES, AND WE ALSO NEED HELP AND GUIDANCE TO MAKE IT THROUGH.

Can we now prove God exists.. ? Joseph Campbell said.. “The word - God - is a metaphor for THAT WHICH TRANSCENDS ALL LEVELS OF INTELLECTUAL THOUGHT. It's as simple as that. The Ultimate, Unqualified Mystery is BEYOND HUMAN EXPERIENCE”
So.. if this is true.. does it mean the observations made by the science of physics can actually prove God exists... according to Campbell's understanding.. I'm wondering?
Albert Einstein wrote - "To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is SOMETHING THAT OUR MIND CAN NOT GRASP and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious."
“Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is STRANGER THAN WE CAN THINK.” - said Werner Heisenberg
”Mind and intelligence are woven into the fabric of our universe in a way that ALTOGETHER SURPASSES OUR UNDERSTANDING.” wrote Freeman Dyson - a theoretical physicist and mathematician known for his works in quantum field theory, astrophysics, random matrices, mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and engineering.
So.. it seems.. “THAT WHICH TRANSCENDS ALL LEVELS OF INTELLECTUAL THOUGHT” really exists.. and for those who claim it is just the God of the gaps.. see Kurt Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem.. parts 1 & 2.. ruclips.net/video/I8JLvEix8Xw/видео.html
It PROVES our knowledge will always be limited.. just like the dormouse who can never understand the internet.. but that does not mean the internet does not exist.. does it? It just means the dormouse brain is incapable of perceiving it.. because ITS PERCEPTION IS LIMITED... just like ours is.
"Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that A SPIRIT IS MANIFEST IN THE LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE- A SPIRIT VASTLY SUPERIOR TO THAT OF MAN, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble." - Albert Einstein
When the student is ready, the master speaks.
ultimately correct
And I got familiar with him by CROsportTV,all the books and videos,and I must say-if you're interested in mythology or just want to learn and understand life itself better,start reading his books.Greetings from a Hungarian girl living in Croatia! :)
that confidence comes from stupidity (one was humiliated for not knowing something, now he know, and thus he extrapolates and thinks he knows all the important stuff)
This is so very profound children obviously need guidance. I was allowed to be feral when I was a boy and funny enough we would create our own trials and initiations. Then I discovered boxing and in the ring, I turned to the hero within and that made me become the Man I am. Reminds me of Kipling one of my favourite poems:
ruclips.net/video/mS0POjriQMs/видео.html
Life is what you make it.
I'll be the 333rd comment :). Love this video. I've heard Campbell say one reaches maturity when they become their own initiator of their life. Living from one's intuition, inner guidance and deciding from there. Brilliant.
The Power of Myth-Bill Mollison and Joseph Campbell.
It's Bill Moyers
Compare this man's perspective with that of Jordan Petersen. They are both speaking a truth to society.
Well holy shit, a great youtube recommendation for a change! Subscribed!
Hmm. Very interesting. Going past myth and submission into adulthood.
I was first introduced to Joseph Campbell through the Bill Moyers special, back in the 1980's. I had almost forgotten what a great, encyclopedic knowledge this man had at his disposal through his memory. He was one of the most substantive people I've ever heard speak.
