Very interesting. Goes to show how much we're preprogrammed by the limiting Paradigms with which we're raised in. Joseph Campbell's teachings are priceless and timeless.
"Throughout human history nearly all human beings have been confronted with the overwhelming weight of a society they as individuals did nothing to create. They have lived out their lives within a very narrow range of alternatives. Only a few gifted persons have had the opportunity & the ability to break through the barriers of their time & place." [Political Power & Social Theory, Barrington Moore, Jr., 1965, Ch.4: Strategy in Social Science]
I love listening to Campbell. I may not always agree, by his knowledge is vast. I watched his entire series as a teen. His words still echo in my mind.
We have not even scratched the surface of his depth of insight into the human condition let alone realigned the world view and structure of societies that can adapt to our rapidly changing conditions. He left us with the a mandala of the beautiful blue planet Earth as seen from space, where there are no lines of separation between us, only one immutable shared reality.
Big place in my heart for Joseph Campbell. Also have done the work created by Werner Erhard . Big distinction is myth is story and is a function of the past. What I got from Erhard is a storyless ground of Being and a language that is generated via listening and speaking coming from nothing. Most of us are unaware of this distinction .
Is it the evaluating ego that recognizes the metaphysical reality underlying the various myths of the world - many of which, incidentally, point to the transcendence of the ego as the goal of the human journey?
My favorite point: The whole character of Oriental thinking is elimination of Ego. Within Ego is the power to choose for oneself, and in the absence of this quality, Eastern people identify with the roles put upon them. Life happens to people in the East, while people in the West have the luxury of choosing it. Western people have been asked since childhood what they prefer. Western people, as a result, develop an evaluating Ego.
Which may contribute to our anxieties in the West, when confronted with options, and depressive tendencies when there is no other discernable option but what we have currently.

But haven't enlightened people like the Buddha, Jesus etc. done the exact opposite - go against the dogma of their culture and instead do something completely new?
You accept that your whole life leading up to that point was literally you inside of the Matrix universe where you only thought you knew reality to be real just to find out you've been wrong the whole time. Even about your own kids. lol, totally fkd up, bro.
Only because eastern cultures are conservative, maybe not modern but a few centuries ago old European culture namely English, for this purpose, folks carried the family name of their profession Mason, Smith, Baker all remnants of traditional family professions they were locked into through caste
I think your profession in the Middle Ages was an accident of birth. You were groomed to be a baker, farmer, etc. because those were the skills your father knew. Just as baking, sewing, cooking were the things the mother taught the daughter.
He said something very strange. The elimination of the ego in the ancient far eastern tradition is not to collectivize the individual like he claims, but to train the individual to not be overwhelmed by stress or changes. He seems to talk about rather the later medieval society of hierarchy and caste systems of central/south Asia as well as during the growth of empires in the farther east.
Sita was just a role tha I suppose to play in 2007, and never did. I know how to put a role on and take it off. I want to go home. Its Staci Washington A writer who wanted to be like her mentor, JOSEPH CAMPBELL
Psychology is really just a figurative language that is trying to communicate and explain the emotions, thoughts and behavior that are being experienced as a result of the interplay between hormones and neurotransmitters.
Those systems are changing and changing fast, it is no longer acceptable and no longer treated as a "Must" as i said defunct things are being discarded with onset of abuse, misconduct, and this delusion to stick with something which is again the total opposite to reality of what the atmosphere or situation of family is, even a child grown up if is being an asshole will be upbraided and discarded for sometime though, the very notion of which is accepted idea of being married off and then families though still there, but are changing and changing fast, because now the thinking power has come in education and exposure and "why' of most situation which are not acceptable or situations which are not good, so its foolish to go on ancient lore which doesn't hold any value today.
Jung got the traditional oriental philosophy of the ego totally wrong. Over individualization leads to a stubborn ego which totally negates the responsibility towards the community or society. No wonder divorces are high in western society leading to breakdown of the basic unit of a society.
Annoyingly, NOTHING this man is Saying is Pertinent, to ME, Anyway.. It Does Speak to to Psychological mindset of the TYPICAL Albion's Perspective as Per "REALITY"!!
You picked me up in your truck. Please Teacher remember me...help...I need your help. I am neither Sita nor pllaying the role. I am Staci for wh you. set aside money for my Ph.D studies and the Goddess...help
This is really bad. Sorry, I loved Campbell in the series with Bill Moyers. What he calls the "elimination of the ego" is the elimination of selfishness and narcissism. The actual elimination of the ego is a spiritual process, seldom realized, that leads to spontaneous creativity. Jung said upon encountering D. T. Suzuki's books on zen, "If I understand this man correctly, this is what I have been trying to say". Apparently he didn't. Just wanted to add: Campbell here demonstrates cultural chauvinism, and ethnic stereotyping at its worst. The primitive western psychological analysis offered by some of the comments here are laugh out loud amusing.
Not the elimination of selfishness and narcissism, it's the elimination of personal boundaries, privacy discretion and personal freedom, it's where any collectivist hell begins, mass hysteria, paranoia and genocide.
Zen is a solution to the problem of the abuse of the tradition of Buddhism to negate the individual in a society. It notices that to say, "I would like a beach, but, please, no grains of sand," is disconnected from both reality and spirit. The practice of Zen is meant to overcome erroneous social conditioning in a way in which is impossible to then refute. One cannot have a collection without any objects in the collection, and so it is with the collective unconsciousness. It's not appropriate to point to Zen as an example of how non-Zen traditions don't suffer the problems Zen exists to solve.
@@gmk2222 Look up the difference between Jung's Ego and Persona concept. Narcissism is rooted in the Persona (false front) it's the manipulator who deals with the outside world, the Ego gives you your unique perspective on reality.
This lecture is an excellent example of BIGOTRY among Western "oriental scholars". Campbell completely misunderstands and misrepresents the philosophy and culture of India. For example, he confuses "ahankara" with "buddhi", two foundational concepts. This also explains why so many educated Western liberals are Hinduphobic bigots at heart. If you didn't see Campbell's bigotry, it's because you are also deeply prejudiced [Look within]. Campbell has superficial knowledge and is a good talker - a lot of sound & fury, but elucidating nothing.
@ vineet Sharma, I'm sorry you are the one who seems misunderstood. Campbell has learned Sanskrit, knows the upanishad , has deeper understanding of the four limbs of Vedas mainly rig Veda, yajur Veda, atharva Veda and samaveda. He frequently cites the verses of Ken upanishad in his lectures which average hindus barely know about other than worship of the idols.
@@nc01sadh Well...the evidence is in right in front of your face. Listen to his discussion of ahankara. It's obviously incorrect, unless you don't know the concepts like ahankara, buddhi, manas, etc. So if you're a sycophant nodding along, that's your limitation & ignorance. BTW, "idol worshipping" is a classic Hinduphobic trope. It's embarrassing (and offensive) to see you argue for Campbell using false phrases created by racist Christian missionaries in the 1800s. Your miseducation & bigotry is the result of "orientalists" like Campbell.
@ there is no attempt denigrate Hinduism, and "ahamkara" means your "ego", which he was on point. Your mind filter works in such a way that any white person talks about Hinduism they are disengenous or a ignorant fool. While there are countless folks who are white and know the religion much better than those who are born hindus. I don't know how much the knowledge you have about Sanskrit, if you do you wouldn't have the argument on this topic. I, in no shape or form got the impression he was slandering Hinduism which seems to be your main point.
@@vineetsharma8170 I disagree respectfully... If you are observing from the place of lack of understanding yes " idol worshipping" can be seen as hinduphobic trope. It's your job to help them understand the philosophy of idol worshipping and raise their awareness level. Not throw your own bigotry and slander towards them, if you consider yourself hindu, then you wouldn't hate anybody for their viewpoint but rather educate them and raise their lack of awareness. A person who sees all beings in his own self and his own self in all being, loses all fear. - Isha Upanishad. I think you need outgrow your compassion and love in beings than hate.
L R Hubbard created a a matter of cult.Joesph Campbell has done his research on humanity of global systems...and how it is in relation through out history.History repeats itself through signs, symbolism..ego etc.
more of a respect for individual....? you mean pandering to ego?....people in the east having a fragile ego....dude obviously hasnt been in america very long
Jung saw the ego as the centre of the field of consciousness which contains our conscious awareness of existing and a continuing sense of personal identity. It is the organiser of our thoughts and intuitions, feelings, and sensations, and has access to memories which are not repressed." Not understanding the lesson because you're unfamiliar with the vocabulary.

Good lord his understanding of ‘eastern’ thinking is appalling! This is not representative of traditional Chinese thinking, nor Buddhist philosophy but a gross misconception and misunderstanding.
The eastern philosophy and theological studies is much more interesting and effective...he's right almost like a priest takes off a robe and drops the personality in the east its you either have been enlightened or not if you're a yogi or a Buddha that follows you ..you become that " no thing" role no ego...it doesn't come and go due to a textbook and a robe! 🤣

That depends on the reason for why you think you have to make a decision in the first place.
then you identify with the ego and we all know how that goes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_wars
You accept that your whole life leading up to that point was literally you inside of the Matrix universe where you only thought you knew reality to be real just to find out you've been wrong the whole time. Even about your own kids. lol, totally fkd up, bro.
Or you can exist beyond the self delusion that others suffer through ;)
there is no side to be on
Only because eastern cultures are conservative, maybe not modern but a few centuries ago old European culture namely English, for this purpose, folks carried the family name of their profession Mason, Smith, Baker all remnants of traditional family professions they were locked into through caste
I think your profession in the Middle Ages was an accident of birth. You were groomed to be a baker, farmer, etc. because those were the skills your father knew. Just as baking, sewing, cooking were the things the mother taught the daughter.

Power!
40+ years later, the level of individualism in China has caught up with the one in the US.
gratidao
The body is made to live in its environment
This is brilliant
He said something very strange. The elimination of the ego in the ancient far eastern tradition is not to collectivize the individual like he claims, but to train the individual to not be overwhelmed by stress or changes.
He seems to talk about rather the later medieval society of hierarchy and caste systems of central/south Asia as well as during the growth of empires in the farther east.
eh....
@@KibyNykraft do you think that is just his interpretation or is that accurate
Just wow
So what is Persona? A mask?
✨🙏✨
Now i understand the Matrix better… Åmazing choice for the name of such a ßeaütiful nåme… 🌅
Sita was just a role tha I suppose to play in 2007, and never did. I know how to put a role on and take it off. I want to go home.
Its Staci Washington
A writer who wanted to be like her mentor, JOSEPH CAMPBELL
Help. I want to go home. "There's no place like home..."
Crazy🤔

Joe, its the internet. Its not what we thought it was.
Psychology is really just a figurative language that is trying to communicate and explain the emotions, thoughts and behavior that are being experienced as a result of the interplay between hormones and neurotransmitters.
dont forget millions of years of evolution
Those systems are changing and changing fast, it is no longer acceptable and no longer treated as a "Must" as i said defunct things are being discarded with onset of abuse, misconduct, and this delusion to stick with something which is again the total opposite to reality of what the atmosphere or situation of family is, even a child grown up if is being an asshole will be upbraided and discarded for sometime though, the very notion of which is accepted idea of being married off and then families though still there, but are changing and changing fast, because now the thinking power has come in education and exposure and "why' of most situation which are not acceptable or situations which are not good, so its foolish to go on ancient lore which doesn't hold any value today.
Just because we don't view a thing "true" in the moment does not mean it has no value ;)
They took away one of the greatest minds from society, Joseph Campbell!
This guy would love & hate Berserk
Jung got the traditional oriental philosophy of the ego totally wrong. Over individualization leads to a stubborn ego which totally negates the responsibility towards the community or society. No wonder divorces are high in western society leading to breakdown of the basic unit of a society.
Annoyingly, NOTHING this man is Saying is Pertinent, to ME, Anyway.. It Does Speak to to Psychological mindset of the TYPICAL Albion's Perspective as Per "REALITY"!!
It is definitely possible to find wisdom from everywhere
Bless the wine to turn to wine vinegar with the eye live trinity hail stone imprint made the lid of glass
I like to use satire for a verb :
feed your head...
You picked me up in your truck. Please Teacher remember me...help...I need your help. I am neither Sita nor pllaying the role. I am Staci for wh you. set aside money for my Ph.D studies and the Goddess...help
This is really bad. Sorry, I loved Campbell in the series with Bill Moyers. What he calls the "elimination of the ego" is the elimination of selfishness and narcissism. The actual elimination of the ego is a spiritual process, seldom realized, that leads to spontaneous creativity.
Jung said upon encountering D. T. Suzuki's books on zen, "If I understand this man correctly, this is what I have been trying to say". Apparently he didn't.
Just wanted to add: Campbell here demonstrates cultural chauvinism, and ethnic stereotyping at its worst. The primitive western psychological analysis offered by some of the comments here are laugh out loud amusing.
Are you making a bit of a jump perhaps? These is Campbell's thoughts, not Jung's.
Not the elimination of selfishness and narcissism, it's the elimination of personal boundaries, privacy discretion and personal freedom, it's where any collectivist hell begins, mass hysteria, paranoia and genocide.
Zen is a solution to the problem of the abuse of the tradition of Buddhism to negate the individual in a society. It notices that to say, "I would like a beach, but, please, no grains of sand," is disconnected from both reality and spirit. The practice of Zen is meant to overcome erroneous social conditioning in a way in which is impossible to then refute.
One cannot have a collection without any objects in the collection, and so it is with the collective unconsciousness.
It's not appropriate to point to Zen as an example of how non-Zen traditions don't suffer the problems Zen exists to solve.
Wrong. Try again armchair intellectual.
@@gmk2222 Look up the difference between Jung's Ego and Persona concept. Narcissism is rooted in the Persona (false front) it's the manipulator who deals with the outside world, the Ego gives you your unique perspective on reality.
This lecture is an excellent example of BIGOTRY among Western "oriental scholars". Campbell completely misunderstands and misrepresents the philosophy and culture of India. For example, he confuses "ahankara" with "buddhi", two foundational concepts.
This also explains why so many educated Western liberals are Hinduphobic bigots at heart.
If you didn't see Campbell's bigotry, it's because you are also deeply prejudiced [Look within].
Campbell has superficial knowledge and is a good talker - a lot of sound & fury, but elucidating nothing.
yes!! staggering lack of understanding my heart sank to hear him speak in such ignorance
@ vineet Sharma, I'm sorry you are the one who seems misunderstood. Campbell has learned Sanskrit, knows the upanishad , has deeper understanding of the four limbs of Vedas mainly rig Veda, yajur Veda, atharva Veda and samaveda. He frequently cites the verses of Ken upanishad in his lectures which average hindus barely know about other than worship of the idols.
@@nc01sadh Well...the evidence is in right in front of your face. Listen to his discussion of ahankara. It's obviously incorrect, unless you don't know the concepts like ahankara, buddhi, manas, etc. So if you're a sycophant nodding along, that's your limitation & ignorance.
BTW, "idol worshipping" is a classic Hinduphobic trope. It's embarrassing (and offensive) to see you argue for Campbell using false phrases created by racist Christian missionaries in the 1800s.
Your miseducation & bigotry is the result of "orientalists" like Campbell.
@ there is no attempt denigrate Hinduism, and "ahamkara" means your "ego", which he was on point. Your mind filter works in such a way that any white person talks about Hinduism they are disengenous or a ignorant fool. While there are countless folks who are white and know the religion much better than those who are born hindus. I don't know how much the knowledge you have about Sanskrit, if you do you wouldn't have the argument on this topic. I, in no shape or form got the impression he was slandering Hinduism which seems to be your main point.
@@vineetsharma8170 I disagree respectfully...
If you are observing from the place of lack of understanding yes " idol worshipping" can be seen as hinduphobic trope. It's your job to help them understand the philosophy of idol worshipping and raise their awareness level. Not throw your own bigotry and slander towards them, if you consider yourself hindu, then you wouldn't hate anybody for their viewpoint but rather educate them and raise their lack of awareness. A person who sees all beings in his own self and his own self in all being, loses all fear. - Isha Upanishad.
I think you need outgrow your compassion and love in beings than hate.
I'd forgotten just how much the Joseph Campbell Foundation sucks. . .

Joseph Campbell was what was no different than L.Ron Hubbard.
How so?
That is probably too nebulous to put any detail behind it lol but thank you ;)
The only thing I can say to that is you must be living in some sort of alternate universe. Good luck
L R Hubbard created a a matter of cult.Joesph Campbell has done his research on humanity of global systems...and how it is in relation through out history.History repeats itself through signs, symbolism..ego etc.
Wny the shit is he pronouncing it that way?
Yes.... But what is a woman???🤔 Kidding!!!! lol
Food not SATI please please make it stop...
more of a respect for individual....? you mean pandering to ego?....people in the east having a fragile ego....dude obviously hasnt been in america very long
Jung saw the ego as the centre of the field of consciousness which contains our conscious awareness of existing and a continuing sense of personal identity. It is the organiser of our thoughts and intuitions, feelings, and sensations, and has access to memories which are not repressed."
Not understanding the lesson because you're unfamiliar with the vocabulary.
The "stuffed shirt" is the strawman, your name is the strawman and everything in the legal world relates to the strawman. Watch on YT a documentary called "The nature of the cage."
Joes lack of understanding concerning India and Hindu culture is staggering
Good lord his understanding of ‘eastern’ thinking is appalling! This is not representative of traditional Chinese thinking, nor Buddhist philosophy but a gross misconception and misunderstanding.
What a bunch of useless yapping!
🤡
The eastern philosophy and theological studies is much more interesting and effective...he's right almost like a priest takes off a robe and drops the personality in the east its you either have been enlightened or not if you're a yogi or a Buddha that follows you ..you become that " no thing" role no ego...it doesn't come and go due to a textbook and a robe! 🤣
