Episode 044 - The Power of Myth & The Mystery of Consciousness w/ Joseph Campbell

In this episode, Brynn Anderson and I listen to a very rare lecture from one of the greatest spiritual minds of all time, Joseph Campbell.. Joseph takes a dissectional look at the mythology of humans and their earliest origins. He also discusses how these mythologies can help us connect and understand each other better in the modern world. This lecture called 'The Celebration of Life', takes place March 1, 1967.. Listen In!Bio:Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American professor of literature at Sarah Lawrence College who worked in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His work covers many aspects of the human experience. Campbell's best-known work is his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), in which he discusses his theory of the journey of the archetypal hero shared by world mythologies, termed the monomyth.Since the publication of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell's theories have been applied by a wide variety of modern writers and artists. His philosophy has been summarized by his own often repeated phrase: "Follow your bliss." He gained recognition in Hollywood when George Lucas credited Campbell's work as influencing his Star Wars saga and more.Brynn Anderson Bio:Life long lover of all things nature, Brynn Anderson has been studying herbs for over 27 years...Her natural mindset has lead her to a life of herbology, and a life of teaching.
