Joseph
Campbell
I
mention
Joseph
Campbell
a lot
throughout
much
of
what
I
write
so
make
sure
you
also
check
out
my
articles.
I
refer
to so
much because
he
studied
and
taught
about
Mythology;
the
unspeakable
and
unknowable
language
that
captures
all
the
aspects
about
how
to
live
as a
human
being
or an
Earth
Person
as
Wallace
Black
Elk
would
call
it.
Because
this
subject
is so
vast
and
universal
I
remind
you
that
this
is
just
a brief
introduction
to
the
most
important
aspect
of
Joseph
Campbell's
work;
The
Hero's
Journey.
The
best
work
of
Joseph's,
in my
opinion,
is
the
DVD
sets
of
Mythos
I,
Mythos
II,
and
now
the
last
of
that
work,
Mythos
III.
The
reason
is
that
this
is
footage
of
Joe
teaching
in
the
order
and
depth
that
he
chose
so
that
the
best
picture
or
understanding
might
come
through.
In my
opinion
the
very
best
and
most
important
is
Mythos
I as
it
introduces
the
subject
of
mythology
by
explaining
the
psyche,
the
foundation
of
how
we
think.
If,
according
the
shaman
principles,
reality
is
what
we
think
it
is,
then
this
can
help
us to
create
a
harmonious
reality.
The
following
is
the
introduction
and
the
trailer
to
'Finding
Joe'
the
movie.
"Finding
Joe
is
an
exploration
of
famed
Mythologist
Joseph
Campbell’s
studies
and
their
continuing
impact
on
our
culture.
Through
interviews
with
visionaries
from
a
variety
of
fields
interwoven
with
enactments
of
classic
tales
by a
sweet
and
motley
group
of
kids,
the
film
navigates
the
stages
of
what
Campbell
dubbed
The
Hero’s
Journey:
the
challenges,
the
fears,
the
dragons,
the
battles,
and
the
return
home
as a
changed
person.
Rooted
in
deeply
personal
accounts
and
timeless
stories,
Finding
Joe
shows
how
Campbell’s
work
is
relevant
and
essential
in
today’s
world
and
how
it
provides
a
narrative
for
how
to
live
a
fully
realized
life
- or
as
Campbell
would
simply
state,
how
to
"follow
your
bliss"."
Finding Joe - Trailer V.7 from pat solomon on Vimeo.
I
have
not
seen
the
movie,
but
I
suspect
it
to
be
somewhat
more
entertaining
than
informative.
The
main
message
is
in
this
trailer,
but
there
is
more
to
Joe's
message
of
the
hero's
journey
than
can
be
expressed
in a
movie,
a
few
books,
or
in any
form;
as
the
real
message
is
about
living
life
and
it
takes
a
lifetime
to
do
that,
but
the
work
of
Joseph
Campbell
and
all
the
shamans,
masters,
mystics,
and
God
realised
people
of
all
times
like
Jesus
can
help
us to
live
as a
true
human
being
or
Earth
Person
if
only
we
are
open
to
the
one
great
message
that
is embedded
in
all
the
world's
mythologies.
I
hope
as
you
journey
through
my
interpretations
of
Joseph's
work throughout
my
writings
as I
relate
it to
other
teachers,
Medicine
People,
scientists
etc.
that
you
will
gain
some
understanding
and FOLLOW
YOUR
OWN
BLISS!
