Joseph Campabell was one of the "masters" of transformation and teacher in our way to know mitology, and indeed transformed completly my concept of acepting life ! THANKS for that extremly good tool of understanding LIFE, RESPECT and INCLUSION ...That's a real gift in those days of seacrh for meaning in all that 2020 Planetary Moment,preparing ourselves better to....I already shared with joy!
So clear, so open, so informative
Awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful.
Why can't you upload full length videos!?
Why don't you purchase the 5 disk series Mythos. Should be 6 but, the Joseph Campbell Foundation is holding out for political reasons if you ask me.
@@adeptpeasant6161 Why? What's on the sixth one that would bring trouble?
@@Emblematic We've released the whole Mythos series - all fifteen+ hours of it in three five-hour series. We're not holding anything back.
Thanks for your question! There are two reasons. First, we are not the sole rights holder on any of the videos; we don't have the right to share the videos in their complete, finished form, nor can we allow others to do so. Second, we are a small not-for-profit that, unusually, relies largely on earned income (though we happily accept donations). If we release all of our products for free, we can't continue to produce new videos, audio, or books.
@@JosephCampbellFoundation Thank you but since The Series was shown on PBS , why isn't it available to the public? Thank you in advance for your response...
I believe those people honored those Bear adversaries in a ritual of combat. Probably sent out a young man to face the Cave Bear, for a rite of passage. If he succeeded the skull would be honored by the tribe in this way. Also gaining the faith of the tribe in the individual.
One neanderthal probably couldn't kill a cave bear on his own.
The Ainu people's name reminds me of the Ainur from Tolkien mythos, he probably took the name from them like he did many others and it goes to show how much he knew of the world and mythology in general.
Mi grandfather told me they eat bears Brain to introduce the eye of Nature within
Is.14:13-14, when compare to Zephaniah 1:2-4 , has one I more for Micah 2:5....( Unbelievable :)
I bet Joseph Campbell would have loved Midsommar ...
"The conservativism of primitive man is basic. To change a form even of a tool is to lose its power."
They knew technology was a trade-off with the devil.
I always thank the chickens before I eat them.
Don’t do that get halal chicken.Otherwise wrong prayer may take us to chicken world.
In my humble opinion.. If you were to honor the mind of Joseph Campbell and all the wonderful things it comes to explain and narrate, then i truly believe you should make the FULL LECTURES available to the public for free rather than selling it on Spotify and through other media platforms. You are making money from a dead mans insights. I think that's morally wrong.
I put those lectures up on my channel twice and the JC Foundation took them down for copyright violation. They are doing a huge disservice to JC's legacy. It is not only morally wrong, as you pointed out, but also illegal. They are claiming copyright for lectures 50+ years old that were broadcast on public radio and should be public domain. The Joseph Campbell Foundation is worthless and have done nothing to honor his legacy. They are only concerned in personal agendas and profit.
truEarth the Joseph Campbell foundation does not owe the world anything. To exist they need to have an income. Perhaps you should learn to appreciate what they Re doing and contribute to their efforts and not spread all this negativity that stand against everything Campbell was about.
@@jacobjorgenson9285 All the great scholars of the 20th century are accessible free of charge. We have Alan Watts, Aldous Huxley, Krishnamurti. Why can't JC have a presence on YT? The JCF could monetise the channel and get millions of views.
@@earth9544 why don't you ask them instead of bitching about it ?
@@jacobjorgenson9285 How much do they pay you to defend their holding Campell's lectures hostage? There was nothing negative in those statements. Getting negative vibes from your rationalization of monetization.💲💲⛵
Keil or kiel ,never kill
To spell right
Unfortunately ainu aren't Caucasoid but australoid
Well, ok, ok, but what would professor actual factual say?
Hmmm... 🤔
I hunt, and I thank God for bringing the animals to me, and I think the animals for listening to God. It's like a way of letting your life go to find out how to live.
@Kung Fu Warlock if it can kill me it's welcome to eat me, I've actually always hated the idea of burial and would prefer to just be left on some mountain top to be picked clean
@Kung Fu Warlock fair enough, but it'll need thumbs 👍
Ainu aren't caucasian they're australoid.
