Follow your bliss

[Vortex]

Film: PBS Bill Moyers speaks with Joseph Campbell

The file title of the video is "Masks Of Eternity"
and the film's title is "Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth"
Neither title, in my mind does, does this film justice and both
titles distract from the content found within.

I saved this film and shall be watching it again soon.

Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American mythologist, writer and lecturer, best known for his work in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His work is vast, covering many aspects of the human experience.
His philosophy is often summarized by his phrase: "Follow your bliss."

Thanks so much for posting the link to this video, Randy. I know of Joseph Campbell and have been wanting to read more about his work. This is perfect and I look forward to watching the video in its entirety later today or tonite.

Hi Vortex. Thanks for this reference. I could identify with so much of this discussion with Joseph Campbell. Very insightful and informative.
I have recently had what i felt and still do feel was a "peak experience". One of those moments of realization that seems quite undeniable, yet nearly unexplainable. This understanding came to me not so much as information or enlightenment, but as a acceptance of a collective conciousness with which we are all entangled, that I somehow already knew exists but had not recognized.
Very good. Thank you so much.
