About me:
A tribute page to Joseph Campbell (1904-1987), the great mythology scholar and author of The Hero With a Thousand Faces and "The Masks of God."

"People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive."
--Joseph Campbell

"Myths are the 'masks of God', through which men everywhere have sought to relate themselves to the wonders of existence."
--Joseph Campbell

"Before PBS aired Joseph Campbell And The Power Of Myth with Bill Moyers in June of 1988, the mythologist/professor from Sarah Lawrence College was like a treasured secret, little known outside the academic and artistic worlds. A captivating raconteur and formidable scholar, Campbell wrote books such as “The Hero With a Thousand Faces,” “The Masks of God” and “The Mythic Image” that revealed the common themes in legends and tales from around the world, from the search for the Holy Grail to the Upanishads to Eskimo fairy tales to Star Wars. He showed how myths echo our deepest needs and dreams, guide us through life’s experiences, and symbolize the spiritual potentialities within us all.

"For those lucky enough to attend his classes, one former student described how Campbell’s “cyclone of energy blew across all the intellectual possibilities in the classroom.” When the PBS series -- consisting of six one-hour talks between Campbell and journalist Bill Moyers -- similarly enraptured a national audience and generated an unprecedented response, it was clear that the profound appeal of Campbell’s message reached far beyond the lecture halls of Sarah Lawrence...The program’s success brought a wide audience to Campbell's work, and one of his sayings, “follow your bliss,” became a pop catchphrase."

"Many people have traveled this world with different dreams, purposes and aspirations. Many are masters, teachers, inventors and followers. They were all sent by the creator of the universe to achieve one just course; “global peace and unification.” But this course cannot be achieved without unconditional love, which possesses the magical powers of the Divine for transformation. When the human race embraces love unconditional, then the lost will be found, the naked will be clothed, the hungry will be fed, the bombs will be destroyed and there will be peace and unity which will make us all to speak one language, “LOVE”. Let love abide" ~ Philip Brown

We are ALL in this Together ~ Wave 11:11 ~ United as One with Love vibrations ~

Namaste, Steven

Thanks for counting me among your friends. "The cosmic dancer does not rest heavily in a single spot, but gaily, lightly, turns and leaps from one position to another." One of my favorite quotes from Hero With a Thousand Faces.

DEUTSCHLAND 09 – 13 kurze Filme zur Lage der Nation – ab heute im Kino! "Deutschland 09 wird schon jetzt von den Kritikern gehasst und geliebt. Also unbedingt ansehen und mitreden!" [LIFT Stuttgart] "Eine wilde Mischung aus komischen, erschreckenden, aufrührenden oder sehr tiefsinnigen Filmen. Eine tolle Idee, spannend, unterhaltend und zum Nachdenken anregend." [BZ] "Dreizehn Regisseure haben eine Wundertüte aus Stilen, Formen und Themen gefüllt. Dass es unter den Filmemachern keine lähmende Depression gibt, ist jedenfalls ein schönes Zeichen: So unterhaltsam kann der gebündelte Blick auf Deutschland sein." [Darmstädter Echo] www.deutschland09-der-film.de
