@@chrisclements3977 huh?
Bill Moyers does an absolutely BRILLIANT job interviewing Joseph Campbell…
Dr. Watson in private conversation with Sherlock Holmes!
He’s actually not very bright. Keeps asking the same dumb questions. Like what people are looking for. JC already said, it’s not about meaning, it’s about the shared and transcendent experience. Bill keeps looking for simple answers.
@@hamburgler227 Interesting perspective. Most are in awe at Moyer's capacity to communicate in a way that makes Campbell's wisdom accessible to anyone and everyone. Indeed, Campbell's work is largely about universality and I don't think anyone could have facilitated Campbell's depth to all in the way that Moyers does. He's brilliant.
@@ArtemisAgain007 Also, you can see the way Moyers gets Campbell to light up by asking just the right question. He provokes him enough to make it a high-energy "dialogue". Only a brilliant journalist can do that.
@@hamburgler227 yea Bill Moyers is a dumbass. WHO THE FK ARE YOU BRO????
In American culture, Joseph Campbell is a rare gem. America should be proud to have produced such intellectuals. His beautifully written books are classic and should be read by many.
Not to be a problem here but America has nothing to do with making anything great. America only hinders greatness for their own advantage. Was the basis of its beginning.
Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth | Ep. 2: 'The Message of the Myth' 1801pm 13.1.23 "the one who waked up" you sure..? dear people. move away from that computer screen and you will lose yer retarded notions...
A nationalist pride of Joseph Campbell... quite ironic..
@@sacreberlioz3432 Nope. Ich bin Kazakh. I'm Kazakh and I admire America for producing so many great writers, including Josef Campbell. 😄
And VERY man centered. Bill Moyers introduces the subject of women suffering terribly from being identified as the “source” of everything bad, which Campbell briefly acknowledges and then goes right to Schopenhauer. I am telling you, there has never been any culture where men and women have been entirely equal, and instead have been constantly repressed, treated like a man’s goods, refused education, having no part in religion or the politics of living….and look where it’s got us. Men have been absolutely _INSANE_ about their power over women, because *the incredible number of varied gifts of 50% of every population, regardless of culture, have been benignly or brutally suppressed, ignored, denigrated….except of course as often crude sexual objects or breeding stock. So, how do you think that’s worked for us?
I am happy that this generation can watch this magnificent show. In my opinion, one of the best in the history of American television. So I was glued to the screen and now enjoy again the wisdom of this person
Could not agree more. I never tire of watching the six episodes. Wisdom on show.
Joseph Campbell is a beautiful soul can listen to him for hours, Love All Serve All❤❤🙏
“Eternity isnt some later time. Eternity isn’t a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is the dimension of here and now which thinking in time cuts out. The experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.”
❤❤❤
Every single time I read or listen to Campbell it makes a new connection to all the things I've learned before. The concept that the Tree of Knowledge was when mankind split everything into good or evil, learned to judge as only the God had judged, was the birth of a duality that has separated mankind from the sacred absolute ever since. My purpose in living is to seek unity with the divine once again. That is my concept of paradise. There are many Paths to that unity if one chooses to take them.
Yes me too. Listening to each lecture barrages the mind into that state of learning /realization of where in our own life the knowledge can assert itself. And you miss a lot then! Rewatching gives even more at different bits. Great series.
No . There is but one path. It is narrow. Not all can handle the scarey bs along the lonely way. The gates to Hell are wide ok. There are a lot of good people going to choose the wide gate instead of the lonely road.
@@christinemott8799 youre making too many comments on here, it discredits you and makes you seem deranged.
In plain English please.
Comments on ‘Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell (PCM Stereo)’ 1813pm 13.1.23 akin to having all yer food filled with plastic by those retarded notions spoken of earlier. they dont aid you reach the achievement you're seeking.
Campbell's works are brilliant, an amazing author. Man with a thousand faces, great read. His literature is top shelf as well as this gentleman. Always had high regards for this man. He is missed much on our big blue marble.
Hero with a Thousand Faces
My absolute favourite topic to discuss with anyone that's willing. Unfortunately too many people are so caught up in this 3d existence that when you attempt to speak about the "spiritual" aspect of our being they start to roll their eyes internally, some just aren't ready to go inside that deep!
I think even most people won’t be accepting of the messages in this spoken form, but if you transfer the spoken message into the form of a movie, a song, a book, and mythologize it, then people become compelled to listen
Then find people who _will._
@@PsychicSploob But humans never learn, especially the million- and billionaire men who perpetuate their power by constantly putting their needs in front of anyone else’s, their mad obsession with accumulating wealth and power at everybody’s expense, especially the men who have more than they do, constantly developing and stockpiling weapons to kill other men, and refusing to see women as anything but crude sex objects and breeding stock. I believe that what dooms countries and cultures is that the men actively ignored, denigrated, and suppressed the intelligence, gifts, worldview, and inherently peaceful nature of 50% of their populations….WOMEN. The real importance of the three threaded sculpture in India is that the men in India have not tried to balance themselves in order to be transcendent (the second sculpture, but this is true of every culture we know about…..we cannot be balanced cultures without *BOTH men and women being equal contributors.* And that is _never_ going to happen.
Or they're too caught up in their own particular myth to see it as such.
Pain is there , but happiness is also there. To go beyond both you are in bliss or ananda that is the ideation, your object of meditation and goal of life
That is a higher level of the human mind, the consciousness in the heart chakra, and other chakras ☺️
Buddhist is interesting isn't it. yet they say it was befor the bible. though this seems a little of both.
Maybe we can get our kids to watch this by letting them know that George Lucas used Campbell's writings as the basis for Star Wars 🌟
Exactly what ive done with my teenage boys. Great strategy and heck, they learn then to think critically about how to accord themselves . Liberating eventually, an academic platform for them to move from and perhaps deeper into the sustaining forces of religious inflections around our planet. Cool beans!...or not...their choice.
Or even read.
@Paul Mina Storm James Bond is about a secret agent hahah not some individual going up against the odds. You need to rethink that simile
Are your kids 60…?
Not to mention the formula for most script writers.
Very good. His understanding of myth and its place throughout history and it's part in raising individual Consciousness today , makes Joseph Campbell a unique visionary in the field of understanding our own humanity. Even more relavant now, in these turbulent times. He has a story he can bring to each complex issue of what makes us human.
Absolutely life changing for me. Absolutely life changing. Thank you
The incredible journey of humanity's ceaseless quest for experience and peace continues in this wonderful program. Thank you PBS for preserving these insightful and historically rich episodes for posterity!
Watched when originally presented on PBS decades ago and now able to watch again. This offers me more insight into our times with Campbell’s words and teaching. So grateful for this opportunity. Bill Moyers exemplifies a wonderful listener and one to ask questions to gain clarity and insight.
This material should be taught in schools all around the world in every culture.
They never will, because it will undermine their power
@@RANDOMLY7319
True 🙏❤️ Here and now. The present moment.
Better let children pick up the book and read it in secret well away from a culture that is based on the opposite religion
Personal groth is A L W A Y S
Individual never never never collective!!!
@@RANDOMLY7319 Try using the material when conversing with an atheist. Doesn’t go well. That’s the real reason.
❣️I have experienced the Indian hospitality, as Campbell refers to and I absolutely felt like a cherished diety. I will never forget this special treatment. It was actually life-changing. 🙏
yeah hospitality for westerners, but local cripple they don't bat an eye and their spirituality cause horrible caste systems and their society is messy in general. I love western christian culture much better.
Paramahansa Yogananda wrote: The true basis of religion is not belief but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul's power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God. "
Great questions. Thank you for making this available. The mystery continues.... :) Gratitude.
You're welcome!
ITS pretty close to a Mat Ricks. Go out early morning look at the source of light then U will Know
Also kudo's to the interviewer. I think the he has done a great job during their whole talk. Seeing a great interview is to have a good collaboration between the two. Respectfull questions that are on everyones minds and to have a sense of clarity in the answers.
Yes sht up and let them talk!!!!
Bill Moyers is as much a classic as his subject. He's a hero of mine as well 🙂
@@RobinHerzig I hope MLK Jr. isnt your hero as well because, considering that all the troubles MLK experienced from the govt and FBI were directly caused by Moyers, itd be contradictory to like them both at the same time...
@@joejones9520 If you're accusing Bill Moyers of being LBJ's henchman in authorizing Hoover's detestable obsessive attacks on MLK, you're correct, but to be clear, that was the president's approval, not something Moyers devised, tho he definitely was one of LBJ's top advisors
Moyers admits this + his other more bitter disagreements with LBJ on Vietnam
Moyers spent decades on a much more important mission, not to atone but to inform + enlighten on the rot in US govt + show the fallout on the working class + many other worthy projects
I've got respect for his decades of reporting + choice of subject matters exposed + survival in a media landscape often as corrupt as politics. You may feel differently. That's ok
@@joejones9520
great point you have made, ive heard things about moyers that put him in a less than flattering light. no one is to be put above us.....all are just teachers, not more, not less. more like signposts or mile markers on this journey thru the matrix of ILL-U-zions & lies. See thru the projections, behold what is, do not attach more than what is present....idols should not be worshipped or exalted. they have faults & are by no means perfect, or even moral.
Some one has to read the narrative....they are not gods, Fool! lower your expectations.....just some poor shlub who is whoring themselves out for shekels, so they can exist another day in comfort.
Thank u more then 3 minutes of JC speaking. Thank u for the full playlist.
I remember coming across this video series in the library. It was about 1993, and this was a series of about 8 videos -- on VHS. I bought them home, slipped them into the VCR in my bedroom, and fell asleep listening to this -- material that is one of the pillars of the current flourishing of extra-normie thought.
I saw this when it aired and was captivated. Like the viewers Bill Moyers mentioned, it changed my life. I guess Bill went back to it in 2012 and redid the opening introductory segments. Joseph Campbell was a true gem and inspired me to study anthropology (as George Lucas had as well). Also was part of the inspiration for me to come to Japan. I was able to watch it again when it aired in the 90s and I was on JET program here in Japan. This was the same time that a George Lucas exhibit showcasing his films was being shown in Tokyo. Great timing.
Speaking of timing, once again Joseph is right on the money talking about 'the machine' and the lack of humanity it brings. With the advent of AI blossoming into our lives as we speak, this temptation to be part of the machine, to worship it as a god even, is going to be too hard to resist for so many out there because it will, indeed bring them what they desire. Let's just hope there's a Luke Skywalker out there as well, to save us from ourselves.
Cheers from Tokyo.
I wish sometimes I was naive again sometimes and believed in things. I know now once you eat from the fruit of knowledge good and evil their is no going back!
Thank you for uploading this precious talk
Watched some of the series years ago on PBS wasn't able to watch it all. Bought the book but it isn't the same as this. Thank you, Joseph Campbell is a genius and an all around teacher. He added so much to my life~
Wonderful series! I saw this years ago when i first came out. Thank you.Professor Campbell 's books are classics. RIP 🙏 Professor Campbell.❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is brilliant and alluring. It is the most eloquent academic manifestation of Luciferian doctrine and theosophy, although it is not presented as such, that I have ever encountered.
There is no doubt in my mind that mythology, symbols, psychology, and sociology are all intertwined and inform one another even when not being obviously connected across cultures via shared artifact. This is well known from an occult magical perspective - with the aggregated focus of individuals holding the ability to modify that which is material. This principle is particularly important to the modern entertainment industry and social media which attempts to create a concentrated focus of many conscious souls. I don’t know if this gentleman was actively involved in illuminated societies but his theory of monomyth and self deification seems in concord with those pursuing knowledge of mystery religions and the power to rule the uninitiated therein.
Thank you for uploading this series, sir.
Love the Lord, Jesus Christ and God Bless you all.
Love this comment. Respectfully I love it cause I don’t fully understand it. Like Lucas, I would call myself a Christian Buddhist, but what would you call yourself, if I may ask?
Absolutely fantastic conversation perfect for my evening mind
How has it changed your life, if I may ask? Just genuinely curious. Thank you. 🤗
Howdy . It's not so much change. It's more like having a bolt hole too get a way when things are crazy. A sanctuary an oasis .
This was so beautiful and I truly realize it within every aspect of me is smiling with wonder and awe of it all boundless and free of limitations.
Thank you for sharing this information freely so that those of us can follow this ..I am humbled..🙏🌬✨️🕊💜
Thank you for such a quality document that belongs in every classrom.
Our pleasure!
Love Joseph Campbell's literature and mind. More Please
Thanks for these
Wow- this really transcends religion! This shows more and more of us as humans- those gloriously magnificent beings!
'more and more of us as humans'? - increasingly: day after day; year after year?
Watched this series a few times now, always in awe 😊
One of the most interesting things I have watched in a while with my endless scrolling looking to learn more.
I was looking for this everywhere.
Comments on ‘Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell (PCM Stereo)’ 1821pm 13.1.23 carlos castenada. he talks of the weird thread emanating from yer navel or stomach... ahahah... and that film donnie darko alludes to it. this does get tedious after several decades of brow beating of idiots askin: whadya know? fuck all say i. fuck all it is... yer all confidence tricksters, really. the last vestige of someone having been tumbled is to go get that rhythm stick.
Wow this aged well!! 🙏 It's almost as if the futures proving past❤️
Yep some pieces of information are timeless.
I remember really loving this on PBS many years ago ! so Thank You for this 🙋🏻♀️
Wonderful conversation thank you ❤
Brilliant for a morning delve into our consciousness and interpreted wonderfully. New to this man and his interviewer; they synchronise melodically just perfectly for a memorable finish...
What an incredible human conversation. Great interview. Incredible souls! Thank you 👏❤️
I so admire this man and his works and books.
Outstanding talk. I love Campbells books.
This was fascinating.
I have no words (but these) thank you 🙏🏼🤍🤍
Watching for perhaps the sixth time since it was first shown on pbs. It feels like the first time.
It also feels as though my consciousness has regressed more than increased - omg!! - but what has increased is a sense of wonder and awe. The seventh decade stage of life makes this sense of wonder and awe over before Earth and we as her creatures, and of the miracle of my own mysterious existence, more available as do-ing gives way to be-ing. My fear of death evaporates in the awareness of the cycles of life from microscopic to cosmic.
Please expose the young people in your lives to the world-views expressed here. It is a healing antidote to what they're usually seeing and hearing.
Blessings and endless thanks to dear Joseph Campbell and dear Bill Moyers.
So grateful to see this series again..Thank you
Great docu...still got m on my old video tapes 💥💙👍...love and Light from Holland to Y'all 🇳🇱🔥💜💎🙏🏼
So glad I found this, thanks for the upload, this really helped to settle doubt, I'm happy that I know I have no idea and that's fine, now I can start with acceptance and stop wasting time.deep truths, deep breaths, deep sigh.
Yes . I called it . I am giving Up. Im throwin it down and walking away. Im done. I give in. There comes a point in time when you must decide what You think of what You have chosen to become. And you can either think.of your self a failure at achieving your dreAms or are you satisfied with what you have? I gave up the rat race. I gave up living for others( almost) i gave up listening to stoopid people judging me . I gave up always never being good enuff, for Anyone on the Planet! I gave up trying to be something I am not. I gave up and decided this is it , i guess. I made the bestvdecisions i could at the time. I tried my best. But not everyone gets what they want! Most of us dont! And yes acceptance of yourself is where its At. Or u can keep climbing keep trying out there to reach social financiAl success and never be satisfied w who you aRe.
Thank you for uploading this!
What a wonderful moment that was! Thank you!🙏
I dropped everything and moved to Japan because of this interview! I wish I had remained there!
@jungastein
Cheers for following your heart & your spirit. Please consider, If something is still calling you back there, why not follow it? to its completion?
Maybe there is work for you, left undone, or experiences unseen. if your heart wishes....you already know the answer. I hope you follow your bliss into eternal joy & peace.
Jung was a titan, one of the best. May I ask what passions drive you? you seem quite astute and connected with wisdom & insights.
Comments on ‘Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell (PCM Stereo)’ 1747pm 13.1.2 japan? i would have thought they had gotten rid of foreign influences by now. their shinto religion doesn't seem to include nature ie: they seem to want to transcend that and immerse themselves with technological achievement - their own take on the man-machine.
What an absolutely Beautiful conversation ♡♡ I will continue to enjoy it, and ponder upon such ideas time and time again 😇 blessed be ♡
When tv was worth watching.
26:00 got me good.
Thank you so much for posting this.
I wish for additional episodes…
It was a very good conversation.
Thanks for reposting this. Its neccessary now more than ever
I am a great fan of Joseph Campbell. I have bought 4 books including his autobiography, and The Power of Myth. The book is another way to reinforce our thoughts and when we listen to him inn flesh and brain, we get Nirvana. My humble namaskaram to KINO LORBER and the ones who uploaded this piece of knowledge and wisdom.
Thank you for this ! He is amazing and I’m learning so much
This man is highly Evolved & Intelligent.❤️
Arent we ALL? Being intellectual means to know where to look for the answers. Go learn for yourself. Dont settle w someone elses experience. Go research learn find on your own. Then u can have an intelligent conversation and have developed your own thoughys on the subject instead of grabbing on to someone elses thoughts
Myth is the unaccepted version of truths while history is the accepted lies.
I saw this on PBS years ago and worried that it would never be available again. So glad that it is!! Thank you!!
Tis the season. Hey joe, we miss you.
This is how the new mythology (conspiracy theory) of " the Matrix" came into some of our consciousness.
Kabbalah
😮 ❤️🔥
Loved this.
If you take the point of view of the flower, then it becomes clear. If you have too much ego to see yourself as a flower, then the keys will remain apart from you. I know myself as flower and tree, birds and bees. I give my prayer to the darkness and all the darkness cannot extinguish the meaning of a single flower to god. A prayer in the darkness whose light comes in the form of angels navigating by the sun.
Of course there is divinity in nature. 🤔🤷♀️ I don’t get why humans would think there wouldn’t be. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I’m going to get a copy of the “Upanishads”…. 😳Sounds like what I try to tell people… but they don’t understand.

Absolutely brilliant! Pure gold!
I know Bill Moyers from childhood. Thank you for this upload. LoVe, LoVe, LoVe. This is my intended contribution to humanity.
Metaphysics is taking the good things from all sacred scriptures, from myths, from psychology and philosophy. This is similar to what Mr. Campbell is saying - that truth is in all religions, we just need to get beyond the "temporal inflection" that doesn't hold up to the Truth of "...love thy enemy, open up, don't judge..."
Excellent interview from Bill Moyers!
Yoooooooo !!! I salute you both, thanks
Thank You - it was very importent for me
Wonderful, probably more so, than the first time that I saw it many years ago, because I understand more of what they are saying about life and how to get the most out of it. ;)
Thank you for this
Excellent. TY Joseph!!!
It goes without saying that Joseph Campbell was a brilliant scholar and teacher. I love Bill Moyers for being so smart and honest in doing his job that he served as a conduit to us that allowed us to learn and absorb some of what Campbell knew without putting in the work and without the fear or intimidation that I for one would have felt if somebody shoved me into a room with him and said "you can ask him anything you want. Don't blow it." (lol) What a gift! Thanks for posting.
Be centered, Be Balanced, Be Conscious 💝🙏🏽

absolute LEGEND
Indeed. A HERO
What a great personality Mr Joseph Campbell was, really a thought provoking video. Namaskaram🙏🙏🙏
30:48 - Bill to Joseph: "Well, the interesting thing to me is that, far from undermining my faith, your work in mythology has liberated my faith from the cultural prisons to which it had been sentenced." That is some heavy duty transformational epiphany right there, especially for a Southern Baptist pastor from OK/TX...
I believe that is what happens to civilizations..they reach their highest potential, then back down they go.
Yes, that's the nature of all things
J Campbell meets Sitchen= what a conversation!
@Starfish W
JC an insightful adult speaking w/ a freemason rat intent on misleading. how insightful do u think it could be with one speaking nothing but lies & half truths? it would contaminate what pureness that could be gained.
Already read these books...yet I only read these books after I had my light knocked out ended up in the hospital and had my dream looking down on earth with what Moyer referenced as the two masks. One male and one female. What good have you done? Sometimes it takes the worst to bring out the best in us all
The communications officer in Star Trek was a reference to god of Fire, Ahura Mazda, god of Zarathustra who sent the Maji in search of the star of the Lamb ~ Thalim!

I discovered these videos on vhs in our junk closet when I was 13 years old. My father must have bought them and never got around to watching them. These have guided my thinking as a Christian my whole life and led me to get a literature degree and have become a professional story teller. I even lived in Asia for 8 years and studied Buddhism under a foreigner program, an extension teaching program of a local master in Taiwan. I haven’t watched these videos in 30 years, but it is exciting to watch them again, and not being so confused or mind blown but instead knowing what he saying and even being able to add to it now. And I am happy that I never went down the same path of his, to conclude that eastern traditions of oneness and lack of judgment is superior. To me Christianity (theological level, not faith) which balances judgment with forgiveness and grace, is superior.
Wonderful opera
In life we are not seeking the meaning of life.. we are seeking the experience of being ALIVE 💥
I had no idea how wise Joseph Campbell was. I wonder if his wisdom originated from his personal experiences. Loving what is. Suffering is wanting things to be different. He is a priest - bringing the divine to earth. 😅
43:45 Interviewer is like " Goddamn. I never thought of that."
This is a very good conversation. I still believe, that life can be experienced how we want it. I believe that man's greed breeds suffering, much suffering. I believe that is to blame, and man is still a liar, that refuses to acknowledge his own shortcomings. Man is still pointing the blame, yet this time at God. Does God create the suffering or does Man? The punishment is not unjust.
well said sister
Boy don't I wish I could have him around what a brilliant and knowing human.. enlightened...it's so soothing...the problem is the machine have been trying to take us over AI.... ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE....We are about to be awakened ...some of us are....
Try Jordan Peterson, such as one of his lectures on myths in the Bible, or one of his lectures on "Maps of Meaning" which he illustrates with references to Disney's "Pinocchio". He isn't perfect: nobody is. (That includes Campbell and Moyers.) Do *not* rely on what other people have said about Peterson.
Wow i love this!
This video brought me from atheism to a belief in the afterlife
26 minutes in and I feel like I've absorbed a whole associates degree
Seems to me Joseph has more admiration for Hinduism than Catholisism.
and why not?
