53. Power of Myth (Joseph Campbell), Vol. 1:
Hero's Adventure |
|
|
|||||||
|
Long before medieval knights charged off to slay dragons, tales
of heroic adventures were an integral part of all world cultures. Heroic
stories are still being told. In fact, Joseph Campbell says modern
technology is reflected in works such as George Lucas' Star Wars
Trilogy. Campbell discusses how the hero's journey is possible today
in everyday life, and challenges everyone to see the presence of a
heroic journey in his or her own life.

54. Power of Myth (Joseph Campbell), Vol. 2:
Message of the Myth |
|
|
|||||||
|
On the relevance of myths--Campbell begins this hour comparing
the creation story in Genesis with creation stories from around the
world. His discussion with Bill Moyers includes the question, why do we
need myths? Myths, Campbell believes, are clues to the spiritual
potentialities of human life. Because the world changes, religion has to
be transformed and new mythologies created. Unfortunately, Campbell
says, people today are stuck with old metaphors and myths that don't fit
their needs. 60 mins.

First Storytellers |
|
|
|||||||
|
On myths and the environment--In this program, 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

56. Power of Myth (Joseph Campbell), Vol. 4:
Sacrifice and Bliss |
|
|
|||||||
|
On the meaning of sacrifice and following your bliss--Campbell
begins this program stressing the need for every one of us to find our
sacred place--"a place of creative incubation." In the midst
of today's fast-paced, technological world, we all need a sacred place,
he says, to sense a true feeling for life. Campbell also discusses the
role of sacrifice in myth, which he says symbolizes the necessity for
rebirth. He also talks about the significance of sacrifice--in
particular, a mother's sacrifice for her child, and the sacrifice to the
relationship in marriage.

Love and the Goddess |
|
|
|||||||
|
On women in mythology--In addition to love of God, Campbell talks
about romantic love, beginning with the 12th-century troubadours.
According to Campbell, the troubadours were "the first ones in the
West who really considered love in the same sense we think of it now, as
a person-to-person relationship." Then Campbell addresses questions
about the image of women--as goddess, virgin, Mother Earth. 60 mins.

eternity, as revealed in the Christian teachings and the beliefs of
Buddhists, Navajo Indians, psychologist Carl Jung, and others. 60 mins.
