When I was in the tolerant-Christian-zone, I didn’t ‘get’ Joseph, so to speak. It’s hard to put my finger on one thing; it was just hard to see him as ‘everything’ which is I guess what I preferred when I was a tolerant-Christian. Joseph Campbell isn’t for everybody. Obviously the harmful robots don’t like him, although that never bothered me. His example of a beautiful non-Western cultural experience is visiting Japan or whatever, not going to see a blues band or a Mayan shaman; that’s his choice. He is very respectful but he’s not a Christian. He talks about conversing with a Catholic priest and saying, No, Father, I don’t believe in a personal God. He doesn’t wrastle with him about how God is a tyrant and getting back that he’s a loving tyrant and having it be yes he is no he isn’t yes he is. He just sees the personal God as not being his belief. I once thought of that personal-universal God as being fun and reliable, but now I can appreciate Joseph feeling that it’s a tyranny and I feel similarly. I also wondered at Joseph talking so much about the mythological—the personal—but not putting faith in a personal God, but now I guess he feels that no single face of the hero’s thousand faces is the Ultimate Face, you know. I have come to agree with him about that. I feel actually that the personal-yet-universal, the particular-yet-absolute, god is one of the great misconceptions of our times. Really, it’s one or the other. The Gnostics love the Absolute Impersonal God and ignore the personal god. The bhaktas worship the personal Krishna or whoever and don’t need to see beyond. You can go from closer to one end of the spectrum to closer to another end, like Joseph, usually talking about stories (basically a phenomenon of the relative), and occasionally mentioning what lies beyond. You can travel from New York to LA. But unless you’re so absolute that you’re everywhere or nowhere—and here I’m saying in this metaphor it’s as though relative and absolute were different cities—you can’t be both in Beverley Hills and the Upper East Side. Maybe you can’t even be both primarily an Angeleno and a New Yorker, you know. (Of course, the metaphor breaks down in that both cities are far more similar than say Shankara and Ramanuja, but in the popular speech they’re the bookends of America, so just go with it, okay.)

Campbell and Moyers explore Campbell’s ideas and understanding. Individuals are all on a quest to understand themselves.
A lot of what can be called comparative religion, and a lot of reflection on similarities.
Campbell’s friendship with Carl Jung and James Joyce is discussed.
The limitation of using language to discuss or explain spirituality is noted.

Campbell looks upon religion and myth as metaphors.

He looks At individual lives less as having purpose than being processes. ( )

Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell (1991)
  sharibillops | May 20, 2022 |
An exhilarating journey into the mind and spirit of a remarkable man, a legendary teacher, and a masterful storyteller, conducted by TV journalist Bill Moyers in the acclaimed PBS series.

VHS.1 The Hero’s Adventure - Long before medieval knights charged off to slay dragons, tales of heroic adventures were an integral part of all world cultures. Campbell challenges everyone to see the presence of a heroic journey in his or her own life.
VHS.2 The Message of the Myth - Campbell compares the creation story in Genesis with creation stories from around the world. Because the world changes, religion has to be transformed and new mythologies created. People today are stuck with myths that don’t fit their needs.
VHS.3 The First Storytellers - Campbell discusses the importance of accepting death as rebirth as in the myth of the buffalo and the story of Christ, the rite of passage in primitive societies, the role of mystical Shamans, and the decline of ritual in today’s society.
VHS.4 Sacrifice and Bliss - Campbell discusses the role of sacrifice in myth, which symbolizes the necessity for rebirth. He stresses the need for every one of us to find our sacred place in the midst of today’s fast-paced technological world.
VHS.5 Love and the Goddess - Campbell talks about romantic love, beginning with the 12th century troubadours, and addresses questions about the image of woman--as goddess, virgin, Mother Earth.
VHS.6 Masks of Eternity - Campbell provides challenging insights into the concepts of God, religion and eternity, as revealed in Christian teachings and the beliefs of Buddhists, Navajo Indians, Schoepenhauer, Jung and others.
