Understanding Mythology
Joseph Campbell's comments on this
page in this color font
MYTHOLOGY AS LITERATURE OF THE SPIRIT
Joseph Campbell describes myth as
literature of the spirit.
BUT OUR CULTURE READS IT LITERALLY
SNAKES TALK, DONKEYS TALK
BUSH'S TALK
WALKING ON WATER
VIRGINS GIVE BIRTH
ETC ETC ETC
WE MISSED THE MEANINGS
We read and understand literally,
and no longer do we realize,
Plato, Confucius, Buddha, and Jesus,
who speak of the eternal
values that have to do with the
centering of our minds.
DEFINING MYTH
Webster defines myth thusly:
Legendary narrative explaining a belief,
imaginary person or thing
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
EXPLAINS MYTH
AS LITERATURE OF THE SPIRIT
WRITINGS THAT EXPLAIN
THE GOD POWER WITHIN YOU
Writings that explain inner spirit with words.
Image words must be used,
because there are
no text words to explain nothingness.
THIS SCRIPTURE SPEAKS OF
NOT TALKING TO THE BRAIN
BUT TALKING TO THE PHOTON
WHICH OPERATES THE BRAIN
1 Cor 2:6
We speak wisdom among them
that are perfect.
Not the wisdom of this world.
The wisdom of God
in a mystery.
Even the hidden wisdom.
TO THEM THAT ARE PERFECT MEANS
TO THEM THAT IN MEDIATION
CLOSE DOWN ALL THOUGHTS
WITH NO STAIN OF THOUGHT
THE MIND BECOMES PERFECT
1 Cor 2:10
God revealed them unto us by his spirit
BY HIS SPIRIT MEANS
ELECTRICITY, PHOTON
1Cor2:13
not in the words mans wisdom
teaches but which
the Holy Ghost teaches comparing
spiritual things with spiritual
THE THINGS THAT COME ARE
NOT THOSE
YOU WERE TAUGHT
THEY ARE YOURS AND
THEY BELONG TO NO ONE ELSE
1Cor2:14
The natural man (mainline religion)
receives not the things of the spirit of God.
They are foolishness.
Neither can he know them.
Because they are spiritually discerned.
I INSERTED THE WORDS
MANILINE RELIGION
THE NATURAL MAN IS ONE WHO
IS TIED INTO TRADITION
THAT PERSON WORKS OUT
OF THE LEFT SIDE
SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED
MEANS THAT ONE
MUST SEPARATE FROM
THOUGHT AND CLOSE DOWN
THE LEFT SIDE AND
REACTIVATE THE RIGHT
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
DEFINES MYTHOLOGY
AS LITERATURE OF THE SPIRIT
In the Bible the
Apostle Paul then instructs us
how to approach it.
THE BIBLE EXPLAINS
Hebrews 6:1
Let us go on to perfection
GO WITHIN YOURSELF
AND SHUT DOWN
THE THOUGHTS OF THE LEFT SIDE
Jesus said in Matthew 6:33
Seek first the kingdom of God
LOOK FOR THAT SPECIAL POWER
BUT WHERE?
Luke 17:21
The Kingdom of God is within you
THERE IS YOUR ANSWER
2 Cor 3:6
Being ministers of the New Testament
not of
the letter for the letter kills
DO NOT TAKE BIBLICAL
MYTHOLOGY LITERALLY
Galatians 4:24
Which things are an allegory
THIS SCRIPTURE CLEARLY STATES
THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT
IS ALLEGORY.
IT IS SYMBOLIC.
IT IS MYTH
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
SAYS
WE HAVE TO CENTER OURSELVES
So as Joseph Campbell says, and
as the Bible says,
you have to center yourself,
you have to understand these
stories in the realm of quantum.
Photon, sub atomic
WHERE IS YOUR CENTER?
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
Joseph Campbell says,
When you get older and
your life is
running away, you turn to
your inner life.
But if you don’t know where it is or
what it is you’ll be sorry.
When the west dropped its
understanding of myth,
the stories and their relevance
to life were lost.
When that happens you lose
all connection that
these stories have to your own life.
THE MYTH OF GENESIS
Just think about splitting the Atom
actually being the
taking of the rib from Adam.
THE RIB WAS MYTHOLOGY
FOR AN ELECTRON
THAT CREATES LIFE
Suddenly when you understand
mythology, you immediately
understand that an advanced
civilization has
communicated these truths to you.
SOMEBODY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO
WROTE ABOUT IONIC BONDING
AND THE QUANTUM CREATION OF LIFE
AND WE FOCUSED ON A
WOMAN BEING MADE OF
SPARE RIBS
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
VERY FEW PEOPLE EVER UNDERSTAND
THESE ANCIENT WRITINGS
Joseph Campbell
These ancient stories that we look
at literally, actually deal
with deep inner problems,
inner mysteries,
inner thresholds
of passage from one realm
of consciousness to another.
If you don’t know the guide
signs along the way.
How will you find the path.?
BILLIONS OF PEOPLE BELONG
TO RELIGION
BUT JESUS SAYS ONLY
A FEW FIND THE WAY
Matthew 7:14
Narrow is the way which leads to life
and few find it.
You have to be able to read
the signposts.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE PURPOSE
Joseph Campbell shows that the
purpose of this spiritual path,
is not so we can live in a monastery,
or be like religion and set
ourselves aside, but to be able to
function among life
with all its imperfections.
1 Cor. 13:1
Though I speak with the tongues of
men and angels
and have not charity, I am as
sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
YOU CAN TALK IN TONGUES
AND LIVE IN CHURCH
BUT IF YOU'RE NOT NICE TO OTHERS
IT ALL MEANS NOTHING
Thus the words of photon mould
you by renewal, to be
understanding of where the
perfection may be touched.
So as to be used among our imperfections.
A RETURN TO NATURE
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE IMPERFECT JESUS
Joseph Campbell
Children are loveable for they
are always falling down.
Little dogs are funny because
they are so imperfect.
They are more human then we
who try to be perfect.
People have trouble loving God because
they cannot find any imperfection.
But along comes Jesus and he cries
and sweats and
sheds blood and is betrayed .
So he can be loved.
He cant get his point across.
He cant get people to believe him.
So you can love him because he's just like you.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
TOUCHING THE MYSTERIOUS
Joseph Campbell
So myths ,
Parables,
Symbolic stories
are stories of our
search through the ages for truth.
We need for life to talk to us.
We need to touch the eternal.
We need to understand the
mysterious to find out
who and what we are.
WE NEED TO ABSORB PHOTON
Mark 4:11
Unto you it is given to know
the mystery of the
kingdom of God.
But to them that are without it is not given.
Luke 17:21
The kingdom of God is within you.
THERE IS THE BIBLE TELLING YOU
WHAT JOSEPH CAMPBELL
TRIED TO TELL YOU.
YOU MUST CONNECT TO THE PHOTON
ON THE RIGHT SIDE
So in essence you who disciple yourselves
to obey Jesus seek within.
You are then given the key to
understanding yourself.
But to them that are without it is all parable
and what is the key.
JESUS TELLS US WE HAVE
THROWN AWAY THE KEY
Luke 11:52
You take away the key of knowledge by
not entering in yourself.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
EXPERIENCE BEING ALIVE
Joseph Campbell:
People say that we are all seeking a meaning for life.
I don't think that's what we are really seeking.
I think that what we are seeking is
an experience of being alive.
ISN'T THAT GREAT
INSTEAD OF SEEKING A MEANING FOR LIFE
SEEK AN EXPERIENCE OF BEING ALIVE
Joseph Campbell
So that our physical experience resonates
within our innermost being.
That's what these clues help us find.
HE IS SAYING THAT WE HAVE
TO BEGIN TO FLOW IN
HARMONY WITH THE PHOTON
WHICH ENTERS US
IN MEDITATION
Joseph Campbell
Myths are clues to the
spiritual potentialities of human life.
What we are capable of knowing and
experiencing within.
John 14:20
At that day you shall know that I am in my father
you in me and I in you
IF THIS SCRIPTURE IS TRUE, AND JESUS
REALLY IS WITHIN YOU
THE ONLY WAY POSSIBLE
WOULD BE AS PHOTON LIGHT.
ELECTRICAL ENERGY TO
COMMUNICATE WITH
YOUR ELECTRICAL BODY
YOU CAN EXPERIENCE
THAT ELECTRICITY
WHICH IS JESUS
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE RAPTURE IS BEING ALIVE
Joseph Campbell:
We are so engaged in doing things
to achieve purposes
of outer value, that we forget
the inner value.
The rapture that is associated
with being alive.
RAPTURE DOESN'T MEAN FLYING UP
IN THE SKY LIKE A ROCKET
IT MEANS RISING WITHIN YOURSELF TO TOUCH
THE SUPREME PHOTON
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME
WHEN THAT HAPPENS, YOU ARE ALIVE
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE MESSAGE OF THE SYMBOLS
THE INNER MARRIAGE
Myths teach you that you can
turn inward, and as you do,
you begin to get the message
of symbols.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL TELLS YOU
THAT WHEN YOU
ENTER INTO MEDITATION
YOU WILL BEGIN TO
UNDERSTAND THE SYMBOLS
Marriage fails so often for the
same reason religion fails.
We look on the outside.
But if we look within and identify a
spiritual identity, then we
reconstruct the image of the
incarnate God, and that is what
marriage is.
THE INNER MARRIAGE
MARRIAGE AS A JOINING
TO PHOTON
2 Cor11: 2
I am jealous over you with Godly jealousy.
I have espoused you to one husband
that I may present
you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
THIS IS WHAT JOSEPH CAMPBELL IS SAYING.
YOUR MARRIAGE IS
THE COMING TOGETHER
YOUR PHOTON AND
THE HIGHER PHOTON
The inner marriage.
Once the inner marriage takes place,
the outer marriage
becomes a spiritual experience.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
MAN SHOULD NOT SERVE SOCIETY
Joseph Campbell describes the lack
of individual freedom
in a way that defines not only
state control but also control
that is exercised over people by
religion.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
Man should not be in the service of society.
Society should be in the service of man.
When man is in the service of society
you have a monster state.
That is what is
threatening the world.
That’s where religion misses the
mission of Jesus.
It is not your place to serve Jesus.
IT IS JESUS PLACE TO SERVE YOU
Matthew 20:28
Even as the son of man came not to be ministered
to but to minister, and to give his life
as a ransom for many.
It is Christ that is in service to you.
Religion should serve you but they have
it the other way around.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
GRAFFITI
Joseph Campbell:
People don't know how to behave in a civilized
society because the people teaching have
no idea where the true direction comes from.
Since we no longer understand myth,
and symbols of the universe,
young people make up their own.
We call it graffiti
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
WE HAVE MADE UP OUR OWN
CONCEPTS AND HAVE TOTALLY MISSED
THOSE THAT WERE SENT DOWN VIA PHOTON
FOR US TO RECEIVE
Joseph Campbell
They set up their own rules.
They set up their own societies
and violence occurs because
their society conflicts with the older one.
No one relates to the center.
No one knows the laws of the center.
They make up their own laws and then become
enemies of one another.
HOW GREAT IS THIS?
WE ARE NOT CENTERED WITHIN THE MIND
SO WE MAKE UP RELIGIONS AND
FIGHT AND KILL EACH OTHER
IN THE CENTER THERE IS NO RELIGION
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE
ALL IS ONE
BUT WE DON'T GO THERE
Jeremiah 6:10 comments about this
when it says.
Their ear is uncircumcised.
THAT MEANS WE HAVE NOT CUT AWAY
THE THOUGHTS AND
CONNECTIONS TO THE LEFT SIDE
In other words they have not
cut themselves
away from the outer.
They listen to others for direction
instead of taking
direction from the center.
WHERE DOES ALL THE
WRONG DIRECTION COME FROM?
The Bible is very clear
Jeremiah 2:8
The priests said not, where is the Lord.
They that handle the law knew me not.
The pastors transgressed against me.
The prophets prophesied by Baal.
THE PASTORS,
THE PRIESTS,
THE PROPHETS
DID NOT KNOW
AND DO NOT KNOW
Jeremiah 5:13
The prophets shall become wind.
The word is not in them.
THE WORD IS NOT IN THEM
YET OUR CULTURES HANG
ON EVERY WORD
Jeremiah 12:10
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard.
The have trodden my pleasant part under foot.
They have made it desolate.
No man lays it to heart.
WHERE IS THE VINEYARD?
ACCORDING TO GENESIS IT IS EASTWARD
WHICH IS THE RIGHT SIDE.
BUT PASTORS HAVE MADE
THAT PLACE WITHIN US DESOLATE
NO ONE GOES THERE IN MEDITATION
BECAUSE THEY HAVE
BEEN FRIGHTENED BY THE PASTORS
Does that mean today's pastors?
Do they send people into meditation ?
Or do they warn that its occult.
Stay away leave it desolate.
THE VINEYARD-
THE GARDEN-
THE RIGHT SIDE
THE RIGHT HAND
Why do I propose that the vineyard
of God spoken of
in the Bible is the
right hemisphere of the brain?
Psalm 80:15
The vineyard your right hand has planted.
The garden, paradise.
Eden where
was it planted.
Genesis 2:8
God planted a garden eastward in Eden.
When you look North
East is on the right side
The right side is unknown to pastors.
It is desolate because they do
not know the symbols.
Instead they know their groups rules.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
DIRECTION COMES
FROM THE CENTER
Joseph Campbell
The failure in our society is there is
no understanding of the basic guiding
principals that
can come only from the center.
We thus make laws that are coming totally
from the minds of others.
We make church rules that come totally
from the carnal mind.
ALL OF OUR SPIRITUAL LAWS COME
FROM OTHER PEOPLE
TO SUIT THEIR BELIEFS.
THE CARNAL MIND IS THE LEFT SIDE
THAT DOES NOT SHUT DOWN
EXCEPT IN MEDITATION
Romans 8:7 Gods enemy is identified
as the carnal mind.
It is not subject to the law of God,
it is not capable of obeying the law of God.
AGAIN: IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO
THE LAW OF GOD
AND IT IS NOT CAPABLE OF
OBEYING THE LAW OF GOD.
WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO
SHUT IT DOWN IN MEDITATION
OR YOU ARE A LAW BREAKER
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
SIN MEANS, NOT FLOWING
IN NATURAL HARMONY
Joseph Campbell:
When you learn the harmony
of the universal law.
The universal wisdom, then you
begin to understand
that sin is simply getting out of touch
with that harmony.
IF YOU'RE NOT SHUTTING DOWN
THE LEFT SIDE
OF THE MIND IN MEDITATION
THEN YOU ARE IN SIN
YOU ARE OUT OF HARMONY
It doesn't mean drinking, gambling,
smoking, or sex.
It means getting out of touch
with the harmony
of the universe.
That’s why the Bible says of
Jesus.
Hebrews 4:15
We have not a high priest which
cannot be touched with
the feeling of our infirmities.
The word infirmities means feebleness.
The feeling of being beat up
and unable to do
anything about it.
Hebrews 4:15
But was in all
points
(All points= Sex, Temper, Money etc,)
tempted as we are
yet without sin.
HOW COULD HE BE TEMPTED
IN ALL WAYS LIKE US AND
BE WITHOUT SIN?
BECAUSE HE KEPT HIS INNER
HARMONY WITH
THE SUPREME LIGHT
In other words he never got
out of touch with
the inner harmony
so he was able to overcome
and survive.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
MYTHS OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN
Joseph Campbell says that he started
to be interested in
myth as he became acquainted
with the stories of the
American Indian.
There in those stories he read of Creation,
Death, resurrection,
Ascension to Heaven, Virgin Births.
It was all
there.
Everything that he had once thought
could only be found in
Christianity,
he found in the stories of the
American Indians.
WHAT JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THOUGHT WAS CHRISTIANITY
WAS FOUND IN THE STORIES
OF THE INDIANS
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
INDIAN MYTHS AND
BIBLE MYTHS ARE THE SAME
Read Joseph Campbell’s statement
after he compared the
other Stories with the Bible
Stories.
Later I became interested in Hinduism,
and there were the
same stories again.
And in my graduate work I dealt
with King Arthur, and medieval material
and there were the same stories again.
So you can’t tell me their not
the same stories.
I’ve been with them all my life.
They came from every culture but
with timeless themes
THERE IT IS
JOSEPH CAMPBELL EXPLORED
EVERY CULTURE
AND THE STORIES ARE ALL
THE SAME TIMELESS THEMES
We call others pagans and say their
going to hell simply
because we don’t understand
the central truth.
Their story is the same, only the players
have different names.
The Bible Says
This.
Col 1:23
Be not moved away from the hope
of the Gospel
which you have heard and which
was preached to every
creature which is under heaven.
And Jesus Says This
John 10:16
And other sheep I have, which
are not of this fold:
them also I must bring,
and they shall hear my voice;
and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
NOTE ABOVE.
THE STORIES THAT CAME TO ALL,
CAME FROM THE SAME SOURCE
DIFFERENT CULTURES
BUT THE SAME THEME
TRUTH IS WORLD WIDE AND
FROM THE CENTER
The Gospel is universal.
It is from the center.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
ALL THE STORIES ARE THE SAME
Joseph Campbell:
If you were not alert to the parallel themes
you might think they were different stories,
but they are not.
YOU THINK THEY'RE DIFFERENT STORIES
BECAUSE THEY ARE TOLD
IN DIFFERENT CULTURAL WAYS
BUT THEY ARE THE SAME
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
MYTHOLOGY AND THE JUDGE
Joseph Campbell explains
myth and spirit as a judge
walking into a courtroom.
Everyone stands up.
You’re not standing up for the man.
What you’re standing up for is
the mythological character
of justice, truth and fairness.
FORGET THE MAN.
THE RESPECT IS FOR
JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS.
THE JUDGE IS JUST A SYMBOL OF THAT
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE OLD TIME RELIGION
Joseph Campbell
When primitive societies are settled
by modern civilizations
they go to pieces.
They disintegrate they become diseased.
Today conservative religions are
calling for
a return to the old time religion.
And they are making a terrible mistake.
They’re going back to something that does
not solve the mystery of life.
NOW LOOK WHERE
JOSEPH CAMPBELL SAYS
RELIGION THROWS YOU OUT
OF SYNC WITH NATURE
By going back you throw
yourself out of sync.
Our kids lose faith in the religions
that were taught them.
So they go inside often with
the help of drugs.
Luke 9:62
No man having put his hand to the plow and
looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
Don’t look back.
Don't go back to that which misled you
NOTICE ABOVE WHAT
JOSEPH CAMPBELL SAYS
ABOUT DRUGS
BECAUSE WE WERE NOT
TAUGHT TO FIND THE INNER WAY
GIVEN TO US BY JESUS
SO MANY TRY TO FIND IT WITH DRUGS
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE TRANSFORMATION
MAY BE UNPLEASANT
Joseph Campbell speaks of a spiritual
awakening that
can actually be a
bad trip.
This is because people get into it to activate
the mystical part of the mind ,
but do not bother with the
teachings.
So they have no idea what to
expect and when it happens,
the spiritual transformation with
no preparation, may not be
pleasant.
If you know where your going
you wont have a bad trip.
YOU HAVE TO SPEND TIME IN MEDITATION
TO ALLOW THE PHOTON ACTIVITY
TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES.
YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO
CHANGE ANYTHING OR
CREATE ANYTHING
I can testify to the truth of that.
Some people in early stages of
meditation see visions
of demons and wolves faces etc.
Not knowing the visions are those things
that have hurt them being uncovered.
Matthew 8 28-32 describes this.
Christ comes into the graveyard of the mind,
flushes out the bad thoughts from the deep
subconscious and runs them away.
Once brought into the light they can
no longer hurt you.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
WHAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND
BECOMES EVIL
Joseph Campbell says its like
drowning in the water
because you never learned how to swim.
The water becomes evil because
you don’t know how to function in it.
YOU'RE DROWNING
BECAUSE NO ONE EVER TAUGHT
YOU HOW TO SWIM
AND SO THE WATER BECOMES
SOMETHING
TO BE AFRAID OF
Isn’t that an interesting perspective
on evil?
A power that we do not understand
how to use.
So it is now the power that is evil
but our lack of knowledge
that makes the power evil.
IT IS US THAT MAKE THE INNER POWER EVIL
EVEN THOUGH IT WAS JESUS WHO SAID
HE WOULD BE WITHIN YOU
HOW CAN RELIGION TEACH THAT
GOING WITHIN IN MEDITATION
IS EVIL , WHEN JESUS IS IN THERE?
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
CONSCIOUSNESS IS EVERYTHING
Joseph Campbell raises an
interesting thing about consciousness.
We only think of consciousness
as part of the
head or the brain.
Consciousness is everything.
Energy is consciousness.
The vegetable world is consciousness.
As you go through the woods you can see all
the various plants
and flowers doing what they do.
The digestive process in your body knows
what to digest and what to throw up.
It’s making a decision.
It’s consciousness without a head.
DID YOU EVER THINK OF THAT?
YOU'RE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
MAKES A DECISION
ON WHAT TO DIGEST AND
WHAT TO THROW UP
IT'S CONSCIOUS
So consciousness is part of
the physical realm.
To transform it to the spiritual realm
requires meditation.
We have given up on that process,
so there is no one to
pass it along to in the next generation.
Hence the transformation of the mind
from the physical to
the spiritual has stopped.
Romans 12:2
be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
But as Joseph Campbell has shown us,
no one knows how.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL AND BILL MOYERS
In a conversation between
Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell,
Moyer's made a
very interesting observation.
His son had gone to see
Star Wars 12 times.
When Moyer's asked him why
he went so often his son said,
for the same reason you read
the Bible so often.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
AND STAR WARS
Joseph Campbell then describes
the myth of Star Wars and
its relevance to our society.
Joseph Campbell.
Is the machine (the system) going to
crush humanity, or serve humanity?
Humanity comes not from the machine (system).
It comes from the heart.
When Luke Skywalker unmasks
his father he is taking off the
machine role his father played.
It was the uniform of the system.
So many of us follow the uniform,
the authority, the religion.
They are supposed to save us but in
reality they kill us.
TAKING OFF DARTH VADER'S MASK,
IS CUTTING AWAY THE
SYSTEM THAT HAS DONE SO MUCH
DAMAGE TO THE WORLD.
IT IS CUTTING OFF THE THOUGHTS
OF THE CARNAL MIND
I LOVE WHERE JOSEPH CAMPBELL SAYS,
THEY ARE SUPPOSED
TO SAVE US BUT IN REALITY
THEY KILL US
Jeremiah 5:31
The prophets prophesy falsely and
the priests
bear rule by their means and
my people love to have it so
and what will you do in the end.
WHAT WE ARE TAUGHT IS NOT TRUE,
BUT PEOPLE LOVE TO HEAR IT.
THEY FLOCK TO CHURCHES TO HEAR IT
BUT WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THE END?
So where does it all come from?
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE DEVELOPMENT OF RELIGION
Joseph Campbell outlines the development of religion.
In the beginning God was simply the
most powerful
God among many.
He was a local tribal god.
When the Jews were in Babylon
they developed
the notion of the savior
and a whole new dimension came.
THE EARLIEST BELIEFS WERE
CHANGED BY PEOPLE
AND WE BECAME CAUGHT UP IN IT
Joseph Campbell
The whole world then was
a few hundred miles
around the near east center.
No one knew of the Chinese and their
ways or the Aztecs and theirs.
Yet they were practicing the same
movement under different names.
EVERYBODY WAS DOING THE
SAME THING AS FAR AS
GOD WAS CONCERNED.
BUT THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT
EACH OTHERS
CULTURES EVEN EXISTED
Joseph Campbell talks of
Beirut Lebanon
There,
Judaism,
Christianity, and
Islam, have different names
for the same God.
Each group says we are the chosen and hates
the other and will
shoot the other, yet it’s the same God.
It’s the same with the Catholics and
Protestants in Ireland.
The same Jesus.
The Jesus who says love your enemies.
They hate and kill each other.
So what is the purpose since they pay
no attention to the one
they are fighting to defend.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
GOD AND NATURE
Joseph Campbell
Yahweh became a temple God.
A Book God, a rules and
regulations God.
Thus the Book Cult won out over t
he nature cult that
was worshipping on mountain tops.
PACAL VOTAN IN HIS
PREDICTION OF
DECEMBER 21 2012
SAID THAT THE REASON WOULD BE
BECAUSE WE WOULD
LOSE OUR HARMONY WITH NATURE.
IT WOULD SEEM THAT RELIGION WAS
AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT
Now the wheel turns and the God of Nature
is resurrecting above
the God of the Book and the church ,
and doesn't the Bible say this.
Mark 14:58
I will destroy this temple that
is made with hands
(There goes the God of the Church)
and in 3 days I will build another
made without hands.
So now we are seeing the great
change as the God of
all things (Nature) restores itself.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE BOY AND THE BIRD
Joseph Campbell tells a beautiful story
of a little boy who
was able to catch a bird from the forest.
The bird had a beautiful song.
He asked his father to bring
food for the bird.
The father didn’t want to
feed a mere bird.
So he killed the bird.
But when he killed the bird he
killed the song,
and when he killed the song,
he killed himself and dropped dead.
In destroying nature as we have
done we kill the song
and in killing the song
we kill ourselves.
GLOBAL WARMING,
FACTORY FARMING,
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
WE HAVE KILLED THE SONG
AND WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE BIRD HAS DELIVERED
THE SERMON
Joseph Campbell
Once a Zen master was about to
deliver a sermon to his students.
And just as he was to speak a bird sang.
He said,
“ the
sermon has been delivered and he left”.
If we kill out nature from God
what is there to relate to.
All we have is a book that people
have tampered with.
Genesis 1:14 says
let there be lights in the heavens and
let them be for signs.
RELIGION HAS TAUGHT US
TO BE AFRAID
OF THE CELESTIAL SIGNS
Paul says about knowing God in Romans 1:20.
The invisible things of him from
the creation of the world
are clearly seen, being understood by
the things made (nature),
even his eternal
power and Godhead.
But we have killed the song of the bird.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
BUDDHA
Joseph Campbell says,
In Buddhism we come close to truth.
Seeing all things as Buddha being,
we only have to come to recognition.
There is nothing to do.
Just to know and to be.
AS JESUS SAID
The Kingdom of God is within you.
The things I do, you can do,
and better then me.
There is nothing to do.
Just be.
Enter in and allow it to be.
Be one with all as he said.
How?
Blank out your mind.
Take no thought.
Then you are one with all.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
BROTHERHOOD
Joseph Campbell raises
the question of brotherhood.
A Question that is addressed
in the Bible in much the
same way that the systems address
it.
Love and good things for those
who are part of our group.
No concern for those who are not.
BY MISUNDERSTANDING
MYTHOLOGY
AS LITERAL HISTORY
WE HAVE CREATED A
HELL ON EARTH
Deuteronomy 5:17 says
You shall not kill
Deuteronomy 7:1 & 2
Talks about the enemies of Israel,
Hittites and
Hivites etc.
Deuteronomy 7:2
says
And when the LORD your God shall
deliver them
before you; you shall hurt them,
and utterly destroy them;
you shall make no covenant with them,
nor show mercy unto them
Is this the same God of which
Jesus taught
forgiveness in Matthew?
Matthew18:21
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord,
how often shall
and I forgive him? till seven times?
Matthew18:22
Jesus said to him, Not seven times,
seventy times seven times.
That's brotherhood.
That's the Christ mind.
But you will find that our social
and religious institutions
apply the Old Testament style.
It depends on what group you belong to.
FORGIVE 7 X 70 TIMES
HAVE YOU HEARD CHRISTIANS
FORGIVING MUSLIMS
FOR WHAT SOME OF THEM DID ON 911
In the Old Testament the word
gentile is used.
Gentile means an outsider and
the rules of mercy
do not apply to outsiders.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
GOD MYTHS AND EVIL NATURE
Joseph Campbell , describes myths
as stories about Gods.
The Gods however are functions
and powers in your
own body and mind and in nature.
There are also myths that deal
with social order.
THE GODS INSIDE RULE YOUR MIND
YOU CREATE
EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL
Joseph Campbell
The Biblical myths deal with the
social order in which nature
is condemned.
Religion has no place for nature
In the west.
Nature in western religion is
thought of as evil.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL SAYS IN WESTERN
RELIGION NATURE IS
THOUGHT OF AS EVIL
PACAL VOTAN SAID,
THAT IS WHY WE HAD TO GO
THROUGH DECEMBER 21 2012
AND WHY IT IS STAYING WITH US NOW
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
WE CAN'T CONTROL NATURE
AND SO WE ABUSE IT
Joseph Campbell
This is the reason we are not in
accord with nature.
We don’t get close to it, because
we cant control it,
cant dominate it, and if
it cannot be controlled,
or dominated by our religion,
then it is considered an
outsider an evil.
The cutting down of forests,
the mistreatment of animals.
The elimination of native customs
from nature oriented people.
We are separated from nature.
We have brotherhood only with
that which our groups
tells us to associate with.
Dominion over the beasts is
taken literally.
We don’t understand the beast
not to be of the field but to
be of our own lower nature.
THE BEAST WE ARE SUPPOSED
TO HAVE DOMINION OVER IS
NOT IN THE FIELD,
IT IS IN OUR HEAD
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE SHINTO
Joseph Campbell
In Japan the Shinto law is that
the process
of nature cannot be evil.
Every natural impulse is not to
be corrected but
to be beautified.
The Bible that we read says
that the earth is cursed.
Genesis3:17
And to Adam he said, Because
you have listened
to the voice of your wife, and have
eaten of the tree,
of which I
saying, you shall not eat of it:
cursed is the
in sorrow shall
you eat of it all the days of your life
THE RELIGIONS WE FOLLOW HAVE
TAUGHT THIS TO US
LITERALLY.
IT IS NOT SPEAKING OF
GRASS AND MUD.
IT IS REFERRING TO THE EARTH
AS THE CARNAL MIND.
LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF
YOUR WIFE
AS IT SAYS ABOVE IS MYTHICAL
IT DOESN'T MEAN A PHYSICAL WIFE
IT MEANS LISTENING AND
FOLLOWING YOUR EMOTIONS.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
WE MUST IDENTIFY
WITH THE PLANET,
NOT THE GROUP
Joseph Campbell says we must
turn away from tribal beliefs
that say this is ours, and those
who are with us.
We must identify not with a group
but with the planet,
with the universe, truly with all
of God’s creation.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT
PACAL VOTAN WHO
PREDICTED DECEMBER 21 2012,
SAID IN 600AD
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
AND THE ONE DOLLAR BILL
Joseph Campbell remarks about
the truth of the
seal on a one-dollar bill.
At the bottom we are all separated at
the four sides of the compass.
But when you rise to the top
everyone is together
and the eye of God opens.
The beauty is to realize all people
are capable of
touching the eye of God.
You don’t need a church or a
special authority.
ABOVE JOSEPH CAMPBELL
COMMENTS ON THE MEANING
OF THE EYE AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID
ON A DOLLAR BILL
HE COMPARES IT WITH RISING
WITHIN OURSELVES
TO TOUCH
THE SINGLE EYE OR PINEAL
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
Joseph Campbell
The Hindu rejects the literal
Garden of Eden story.
And once we do, we are no longer
cut off from the
source which we call God.
The single eye opens to the radiance
which is Gods
natural love for all.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
LOOKS FURTHER
AT THE ONE DOLLAR BILL
Joseph Campbell
When you count the number
of ranges on
the pyramid there are 13.
The number 13 is transformation of
the four-fold nature.
1 God and 3 New Life equals 4
which is man.
12 disciples and 1 Christ equals
13=4=New Life in man
JOSEPH CAMPBELL OBSERVES
NUMEROLOGY ON
THE DOLLAR BILL.
13 EQUALS 4 AND HE
IDENTIFIES THAT AS
NEW LIFE IN MAN
Joseph Campbell
On the dollar bill the words
read Novus Ordo Seclorum.
A new order of the world.
Annuit Coeptis means, he has
smiled on our activities.
Joseph Campbell says this is
actually the Single Eye.
Wisdom and Understanding.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL FEELS THAT
THE SINGLE EYE IS WHAT IS
BEING REFERRED TO ON THE
DOLLAR BILL WHEN IT
SAYS HE HAS SMILED ON OUR ACTIVITIES
Joseph Campbell
On the dollar bill behind the pyramid
is a desert.
The old ways.
The garden is the flowering that
lies ahead.
On the right side is the Eagle
the Bird of Zeus.
The eagle holds war and peace.
That is our mode.
13 arrows in one claw and a
laurel leaf with 13
leaves in the
other.
The eagle is looking towards the
leaves of peace but at
the same time holding tightly
to the arrows of war.
ABOVE HE SEES OUR TRUE NATURE
LOOKING TOWARDS PEACE BUT
PREPARING FOR WAR
Joseph Campbell
The eagle has 9 tail feathers.
Nine being the number of
consciousness and understanding.
Over the eagles head are 13 stars
arranged as the
Star of David
That which reaches up and the
divine source
that reaches down.
There is a center star which is the source
of universal energy.
We identify it
as Aum.
So government is symbolized on the one dollar bill
as very mystical.
Governing in unity with the single eye,
that is oneness of all
people at the top of the Pyramid.
THAT IS WHAT THE SYMBOLS SAY
ON THE DOLLAR BILL
BUT THE ACTIONS OF THE MINDS
OF THE POLITICIANS,
SAY OTHERWISE
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
AND GEORGE WASHINGTON
Joseph Campbell
George Washington’s last words were
that we not
engage in foreign alliances.
That lasted until World War 1.
Then we scrapped the declaration
of independence and
rejoined the British conquest
of the planet.
That put us on one side of the pyramid.
Now we suddenly (Because of our alliances)
are politically
a member of one side of the argument).
WE NO LONGER FOLLOW THE EYE
We are concerned with politics
and economics.
Not with the eye of reason
and
brotherhood.
That was the true essence of
Krishna, Buddha and Jesus.
Kill the animal powers, and be guided by
the inner eye of reason,
and universal brother and sisterhood.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
GREED PULLS US TO THE BOTTOM
Joseph Campbell said,
What destroys reason is passion.
The passion of politics is greed.
That's what pulls you to the bottom
of the pyramid.
Instead of at the top at the single eye.
PACAL VOTAN ALSO SAID IN 600AD
THAT IT WOULD BE GREED THAT
WOULD DESTROY US
HE SAID THIS AS HE TALKED
OF DECEMBER 21 2012
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE FOUR FUNCTIONS
OF MYTHOLOGY
Joseph Campbell says that Mythology
serves four functions.
1. The Mystical Function.
The realization of the wonder
of the universe.
Myth opens the world to the
dimension of mystery.
To realize that the mystery that
underlies all forms
is open to us.
THESE SCRIPTURES ECHO WHAT
JOSEPH CAMPBELL HAS SAID
ABOUT UNDERSTANDING
THE MYSTERY WITHIN US.
Mark 4:11
To you it is given to know the mystery
of the Kingdom of God.
But to them that are without all
these things are done in
parables.
Luke 17:21 The kingdom of God is within you.
Proverbs 1:6 Wisdom is knowing the dark sayings
As Joseph Campbell says,
the ancient mythology is the
understanding of mystery.
1 Cor. 2:7
We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery
even the hidden wisdom
which God ordained before the world etc.
HOW IMPORTANT THE
HIDDEN MYSTERY IS
AND WE HAVE MISSED IT
YET WE FIGHT AND KILL EACH OTHER
Joseph Campbell
2. The second aspect of mythology
is cosmological.
The dimension
of science.
Do we have all the answers?
Science can tell you how it works but what is it?
You strike a match.
There's fire but what is fire?
3. The third function of mythology
is sociological.
It validates social and ethical laws.
The social laws
of a good society.
4. The fourth is as a
teaching.
Teaching how to live a human lifetime
in any circumstance.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL HAS OUTLINED
WHAT WE HAVE MISSED
BY FOLLOWING RELIGION
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
TAKING THE OLD TESTAMENT LITERALLY
Joseph Campbell speaks of the
Old Testament taken literally.
It is a time belonging to a different
social and ethical order.
It belongs entirely somewhere else.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL ABOVE SAYS THAT
WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
THAT WE HAVE TAKEN LITERALLY
IS A SOCIAL AND ETHICAL ORDER TOTALLY
OUT OF HARMONY WITH THIS TIME
Galatians 4:24 and 25 says
its allegory.
ABOVE THE BIBLE TELLS US
NOT TAKE THIS
INFORMATION LITERALLY.
FOR INSTANCE
WOMEN ARE NOT LESSER
INDIVIDUALS THEN MEN
But Literally scripture treats women
as 2nd class or less.
THE TEACHERS SAY THAT
WOMEN MUST OBEY
BECAUSE THEIR BIBLE SAYS SO.
IN REALITY THE MYTHOLOGY
SYMBOLIZES
WOMEN AS EMOTIONS
AND TELLS US NOT TO
ALLOW OUR EMOTIONS TO
OVERRULE OUR INTELLECT
BUT OUR RELIGIONS
TAKE IT LITERALLY
AND TREAT WOMEN BADLY
Women are still treated that way because
after all its Gods word.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
RETURN TO NATURE
Joseph Campbell says
We have to learn to get back in
accord with the wisdom of nature
and realize again our
brotherhood with the animals
and the earth and the sea.
OUR VIOLATIONS OF NATURE
ARE WHAT HAVE BROUGHT
PACAL VOTANS PREDICTION
TO US AS A REALITY.
WE ABUSE ANIMALS
THE EARTH
THE SEA
BILL MOYER'S
ASKS JOSEPH CAMPBELL
WHY HUMANS REJECT NATURE
Bill Moyer's asked Joseph Campbell
a very serious
question that has to do with our
reading the Bible literally.
B Moyer's:
Don’t you think Americans have
rejected the ancient idea of
nature as divine because it would keep us from
having dominion over it?
How can you cut down trees and
uproot the land and turn rivers
into real estate without offending God?
Good question isn’t it.
The literal dominion over nature
gives us Carte blanch to do
what we want with the earth,
and animals, mostly for our own
profit.
Joseph Campbell
answers:
That is the Biblical condemnation
of nature
Genesis 1:26
Dominion over fish, fowl, cattle ,
the earth and
creeping things.
Galatians 4:24 tells us this is allegory.
Its symbolic.
Fish represent the lower parts
of consciousness.
Ideas, feelings, emotions.
Those aspects which are immersed
in the waves
of worldly affairs.
Fowls of the air:
These are the higher order of
human intelligence.
You should have control over your
feelings and emotions
and the higher aspects of the mind.
Cattle:
Emotions of the lower nature.
Those things that must be sacrificed.
Earth:
The mind of man.
Creeping things:
The base carnal desires.
THE BIBLE WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT
FOUR LEGGED ANIMAL SACRIFICE
IT WAS TALKING ABOUT
SACRIFICING OURSELVES
BUT WE MISSED IT
PROOF THAT ANIMAL SACRIFICE
WAS FROM RELIGION
AND NOT FROM GOD
How can I prove that the Bible was
indeed talking in allegory
and not directing our dominion
and
destruction of animals.
Animal Sacrifice
Psalm 40:6
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire.
My ears have you opened.
THIS IS A PRAYER TO GOD
SACRIFICE AND OFFERING
YOU DID NOT DESIRE
Isaiah 1:11
To what purpose is the multitude of sacrifices.
I delight not in
the blood of bullocks etc.
Who has required this of you.
HERE IS GOD SAYING,
I HAVE NO JOY IN WATCHING
ANIMALS DIE
WHO TOLD YOU TO DO THIS?
Psalm 51:16
You desire not sacrifice or else would I give it.
The sacrifices of God are
a broken spirit and a contrite heart.
ABOVE
THE ANIMAL TO BE SACRIFICED
IS THE ANIMAL NATURE
THE PRIDE THE GREED
A TRUE SACRIFICE IS HUMBLENESS,
A BROKEN SPIRIT
AND A CONTRITE HEART
Yet the Bible is filled with commandments
to sacrifice
animals and take dominion.
It’s allegory.
For the animal in our mind is what
is being referred to.
The point is to take dominion
over our own selves.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
WE ARE TAUGHT THAT
GOD IS SEPARATE FROM NATURE
Joseph Campbell:
That misinterpretation was inherited
from religion and brought to the
United States mostly from
England.
We are taught that God is separated from nature.
We are taught that God condemns nature.
Which is not
so.
But its in the Bible.
Taught in churches.
We are the masters over nature.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
WE MUST THINK DIFFERENTLY
Renew.
Think of yourself as coming out of the earth instead
of being thrown in here from somewhere else.
Then you see we are the earth.
We are the conscience of the earth.
The eyes of the earth.
The voice of the earth.
The protectors of the animals and the earth itself.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
MOTHER EARTH
Joseph Campbell speaks of mother earth
as a new mythology.
The only mythology that is going to be worth thinking about
in the immediate future is one that talks of the planet.
Not the city, not the people, but the planet,
and everybody on it.
How to relate to the world of nature.
To the cosmos.
The earth our mother. God our father.
EVERYTHING WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING,
WE DID NOT
WE HAVE INDUSTRIALIZED EVERYTHING
AND CARED NOT WHAT IMPACT IT HAS ON NATURE.
WE HAVE TORTURED ANIMALS IN FACTORY FARMS
AND WE WILL PAY FOR THAT
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
REASON NOT RELIGION
We must look through the eye of
reason and not religion.
CHIEF SEATTLE
When the US government offered to buy tribal lands
back in 1852.
An Indian chief named Seattle wrote to the president
of the United States.
You wish to buy our land.
How strange .
How can you buy or sell the sky.
The earth.
If you don’t own the sparkle of the water how
can you sell or buy.
The earth is sacred.
Every pine needle.
Every meadow.
Every humming insect.
Every mist in the dark woods.
All are holy in
memory and experience of my people.
We are part of the earth.
It is part of us.
The flowers are our sisters.
The bear, the deer, the eagle are our brothers.
The body heat
of the pony and man are all of
the same family.
If we sell you our land, you must remember it is sacred.
The waters
murmur is the voice of my fathers father.
You must give
to the rivers the kindness you would give a brother.
The air is precious.
It shares its spirit with all life it supports.
So if we sell your our land, you must keep it sacred,
as a place where man can go to taste the wind
that is sweetened by the meadow
flowers.
Will you teach your children what we
have taught our children?
That the earth is our mother.
That what befalls the earth befalls all of us.
This we know.
The earth does not belong to us.
We belong to the earth.
All things are connected like the blood that unites us all.
Man did not weave the web of life.
He is merely a strand on it.
What he does to the world he does to himself.
One thing we know.
Our God is also your god.
The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to
show contempt
to the creator.
Your destiny is a mystery to us.
What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered,
when the wild horses are
tamed.
What will happen when the secret comers
of the forest are heavy
with the scent of men, and the view of the beautiful hills is
blocked by the
talking wires.
Where will the thicket be.
Gone.
Where will the eagle be.
Gone.
The end of living.
The beginning
of survival.
When our memory is only the shadow of a
cloud moving across the prairie, will these shores,
and forests still be here.
Will there be
any of the spirit of my people still left.
We love this earth as a newborn loves its mothers heartbeat.
So if we sell you our land, love it as we have loved it.
Care for it as
we have cared for it.
Hold in your mind the memory of the land,
as it is when you receive it.
Preserve the land for all children and love it
as God loves us all.
As we are part of the land you too are part of the land.
One thing we know.
There is only one God.
No man, be he red man, or white man can be apart.
We are brothers after all.
HAVE WE BEEN TRUE TO THE EARTH
HAVE WE NOT VIOLATED THIS SACRED TRUST
AND IS NOT THIS THE REASON FOR
THE PROPHECY OF PACAL VOTAN?
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
MYTHOLOGY APPLIES TO
ALL STAGES OF LIFE
Joseph Campbell tells us that the human being who
lives today has the same maturing aspect as a
cro-magnum man
who lived in caves 30,000 years ago.
From childhood, sexual maturity, transformation from
childhood to manhood, womanhood, marriage, body failure,
loss of power
and death.
Mythology had to talk to both of you.
So the symbols are lasting and intelligible to both.
MYTHOLOGY MUST TALK TO
THE PERSON AT ALL STAGES OF LIFE
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
The serpent bound to earth is our bondage to the mundane.
The eagle in spiritual flight-free.
A conflict.
So we get the two together and we have a
wonderful dragon with wings.
WHAT JOSEPH CAMPBELL SAYS IS THAT THOUGH
THE SERPENT IS BONDAGE TO THE EARTH,
AND THE BIRD IS
FREE ABOVE
MYTHOLOGY BRINGS THE TWO TOGETHER WITH
A DRAGON WITH WINGS.
BREATHING FIRE OCCASIONALLY
AS ALL WE DO
JOSEPH CAMPBELL:
THE DRAGON WITH WINGS
The earth born lower conscious once
held to the earth rises above all.
We have risen above the problem
and the story can be told everywhere.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE POWER OF THE
RIGHT HEMISPHERE OF THE BRAIN
The Bible stories of an inner place which constantly
specifies the right side, told in various stories becomes a
scientific look at the power in the right hemisphere,
open and available to all, throughout over the world.
Psalm 17:7
Show your marvelous loving kindness.
O you that saves by your right hand them which put
their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
Now the eagle factor that this is
higher consciousness.
Psalm 17:8
keep me as the apple of your eye.
Hide me under the shadow of your wings.
Joseph Campbell
So the same story is told over and over
with different costumes.
Eagles become angels.
Both have wings and fly.
The story changes only the costumes.
The rest stays
the same.
Crucified Saviors-Virgin Born Gods, resurrections.
Over and over and over.
From the ends of the world the myths in different
costumes tell the story.
Romans 10:17
So faith comes by hearing and hearing by
the word of God.
But I say have they not heard yes truly.
Their sound went into all the earth
and their words
to the ends of the
world.
Romans 10:20
I was found by them that did not look for me.
I appeared to them that did not ask for me.
THAT LINE ABOVE
GOD COMES TO YOU IN MEDITATION
WHEN YOU ARE NOT LOOKING
GOD COMES IN MEDITATION WHEN
THERE IS NO ASKING
IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING IT.
This is meditation. But what about the religious.
Romans 10:21
all day long I have stretched forth my hands
unto a disobedient and gainsaying
(denying-disputing) people.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE ANCIENT WORDS SPEAK OF
THE DEEP MYSTERIES OF YOU
Joseph Campbell says, these words
that have gone out to the
ends of the world are speaking of
the deep mystery of yourself.
It’s tremendous because it smashes
all your fixed notions of
things.
Its your own nature and being.
THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE MISSED
THE UNDERSTANDING OF
OUR OWN NATURE AND BEING
When you start thinking about these things ,
about the inner mystery, inner life,
you begin on your own to
have the images that are already present
from the ancient world.
Mark 4:1
To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God.
But to them that
are without all these things are parables.
Luke 17:21 The kingdom of God is within you.
IT IS GIVEN TO YOU TO UNDERSTAND
YOUR DEEP INNER SELF
What is being said is that it is given
to you to understand
the mystery that is yourself and
contained within you.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
AT THE DARKEST MOMENT
COMES THE LIGHT
Joseph Campbell states:
One thing that comes out of myths is
that out of the bottom of the abyss comes
the voice of salvation.
The black moment when the real
message of transformation
is going to come.
At the darkest
moment comes the light.
Jesus is called the morning star.
It is the light seen just before the dawn.
2 Peter 1:19
Be attentive for a light that shines
in a dark place
until the day dawn and the day star
rises in your hearts.
CAN YOU READ THE DEEP MYTHOLOGY
IN THAT SCRIPTURE?
IT IS INSIDE ALL OF US.
THE DAY STAR IS THE PHOTON ENERGY
THAT CHANGES
ELECTRICAL FREQUENCIES IN OUR BRAIN
AND WE RISE UP TO
NEW UNDERSTANDING
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
No prophecy of scripture is of
any private interpretation.
YOU INTERPRET THE SCRIPTURE
FOR YOURSELF
DON'T LET SOMEONE ELSE INTERPRET
FOR YOU
WHAT IS MEANS TO THEM MAY NOT BE
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU
Let it be to you different then to
the whole world.
It is for everybody, and it speaks of the light,
that comes
at the darkest hour if you allow it.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
EVERYTHING IS IN US
Joseph Campbell:
All is in us and the myths prove it.
Christ is in us as he says in
John 14:20 You in me and I in you.
Heaven and hell are in us.
All the Gods are within us.
This is the great realization of the
Upanishads of India in
the 9th century
BC.
All the Gods, all the heavens, all the
worlds are within us.
WITHIN YOU IS A UNIVERSE THAT
NO ONE ELSE
WILL EVER KNOW
AND WITHIN THEM IS A UNIVERSE THAT
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
MYTHS ARE THE ENERGIES OF THE BODY
IN CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER
They are manifestations in image
form of the energies
of the body in conflict with each other.
That is what myth is, Myth is the
manifestation of symbolic
images of the energies of the
organs of the body
in conflict with one another.
This organ wants this and this
organ wants that.
WHEN YOU READ ABOUT BATTLES,
AND YOU READ ABOUT
KILLINGS, AND TERRIBLE THINGS
UNDERSTAND THEM TO BE STORIES OF
THE THINGS THAT GO ON INSIDE OF YOUR
HEAD THAT NO ONE ELSE EVER KNOWS ABOUT
.
THAT BATTLE IS YOURS.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
A POLYNESIAN SAYING
There is a Polynesian saying that
we are standing on a
whale fishing
for minnows.
The ground of being is the ground
of our being
and when we turn outward we see
all of these
little problems here and there.
But if we look inward we see
that we are
the source of them all.
THE BUDDHA SAID THAT WHEN WE
GET UPSET
AND ACCUSE OTHER PEOPLE OF
STIRRING THINGS UP,
WE SHOULD KNOW
THAT IT IS THE SEDIMENT
IN OUR OWN CUP
THAT BECOMES THE CLOUD.
IF THE SEDIMENT WAS GONE,
THEY COULD STIR ALL THEY WANT
BUT THERE WOULD BE NO CLOUD
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
WEST AFRICA AND
THE BASSARI PEOPLE
The universal nature of myth is shown
by Genesis and the
ancient stories of West Africa
of the Bassari People.
There was no way they could have
known of Genesis yet:
WHAT DOES GENESIS SAY
Genesis: God speaks and says have
you eaten of the tree.
Man: The woman you gave me she
gave me the fruit.
God to woman: What is this you have done
Woman: The
serpent beguiled me.
We are still pointing at a devil to excuse
our own shortcomings.
Now The Bassari
Legend Of West Africa.
One day snake said.
We too should eat these fruits.
Antelope said We don't know anything
about this fruit.
Then Man and his wife took some fruit and ate it.
Unumbotte came down from the sky.
Who ate the fruit.
Man and wife said, we did.
Unombotte Who said you could eat that fruit
Man and wife said, the snake did.
Both myths blame the snake.
THIS STORY WAS WRITTEN TOTALLY
INDEPENDENT OF GENESIS
The snake symbolizes immortal energy.
It sheds it skin and is renewed.
The serpent thus carries within
itself both the
fascination and
terror of life.
So indeed life energy is the source
of all things good and evil.
The serpent/spine represents the
life force that
constantly moves
against Adam Physical, and Eve Mind.
Romans 8:7
The carnal mind is not subject
to the law of God
neither can it be.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
RELIGION BLAMES THE WOMAN
Joseph Campbell says that he
knows of no other place
but in the Bible where woman is
portrayed as a sinner.
He says our version of the fall is that
nature is corrupt,
sex in itself is corrupt,
and the female as the epitome of
sex is corrupt.
He says that the explanation of
the degrading of
woman in the Bible,
is that the Hebrews moved into the lands
of Canaan where the Goddess
was associated
with the serpent.
The male God
group rejected this.
Woman takes the blame in the Bible
because she represents life.
Man doesn’t enter life except by woman.
What Joseph Campbell says deserves
deep thought.
In the garden Man and Woman are
not different
GENESIS 5:1
SAYS THAT GOD CREATED MAN
MALE AND FEMALE AND
CALLED THEIR NAME ADAM
MALE AND FEMALE AND CALLED
THEIR NAME ADAM
EATING FROM THE TREE OF
THE KNOWLEDGE
OF GOOD AND EVIL
IS TAKING FROM THE LEFT SIDE
CARNAL MIND.
THERE ARE GOOD THINGS THAT
COME FROM THERE
AND THERE ARE EVIL THINGS
THAT COME FROM THERE
Campbell: They eat of the tree
of Good and Evil.
They eat the knowledge of opposites.
They discover that they are different.
They feel shame.
Now male and female are no longer parts
of the same line.
Now they are opposites .
All goes down in our Bible.
The woman is
the heavy.
But in reality there are no opposites
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
TO IDENTIFY WITH GOD YOU
MUST IDENTIFY WITH YOURSELF
Joseph Campbell said,
Eternity pours itself into the world.
The basic idea of mythology is of
the God who becomes
many in us.
The God who lives in me is called the
inhabitant of my body.
To identify with that immortal aspect
of yourself is to
identify yourself with divinity.
2 Cor 6:16
As God has said, I will dwell in them
and walk in them and
I will be their God and they
shall be my people.
Luke 17:21
The Kingdom of God is within you.
Eternity is beyond all categories of thought.
That is why Jesus said 5 times
In Matthew 6:25 to 6:33 Take no thought.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
ON GOD
That is an important part of all
oriental religions.
Experiencing the inhabitant within.
We on the other hand think about God.
God is a word
and idea.
But in essence it is beyond all categories
of thought.
It is no thing.
It is no thought.
It goes past
anything that can be thought.
We think of God as father.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
WHERE GOD IS NOT FATHER
BUT MOTHER
Joseph Campbell says that in cultures
where god is mother
the whole world is her body.
There is
nowhere else.
The male God is usually someplace else.
The female God is all there is and we are
all part of her body.
The divine power is asexual.
The early cells are just cells biologically .
The amoeba is
not male or female.
They develop sexuality later.
So God then is neither male or female.
THE MALE GOD IS SOMEWHERE ELSE
THE FEMALE GOD IS EVERYWHERE,
AND WE ARE INSIDE OF HER
AND SHE IS INSIDE OF US
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
Joseph Campbell says.
If you think of God as a He or She,
then you understand nothing of God.
In the ancient religions when one delves
deep into him/her self
there comes a moment when he realizes
that he/she is both mortal and immortal.
Both male and female.
Actually it was the desire that is
and was the fall.
Males desire for company.
Thus the single entity split and it
became male and female.
The opposites had arrived.
The arrival of the human species was
God telling man,
“Don’t eat that”.
Man had to eat the fruit in order to
become the initiator of his
own life.
The fall made him into a God.
Gen 3:22
Behold
the man has become as one of us.
John 10:34
Is it not written in your law.
I said you are gods ?
THE FALL HAD TO HAPPEN
Life really began by the act of
disobedience
that had to happen.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
PEOPLE TODAY ARE SEARCHING
Joseph Campbell said that
today there is so much searching.
People are looking for ways of experiencing
the inner world
that is opening
transcendence to them.
The vast ground of silence that we all share.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE HINDU GREETING
Joseph Campbell says,
In India people recognize this.
They greet each other with the
palms placed together.
They then bow to the other person.
The palms together that we use
in prayer.
The greeting is one in which is said that
the God that is in you
recognized the God in the other.
These people are aware of the divine
presence in all things.
When you enter an Indian home as a
guest you are greeted
as a visiting deity.
They recognize what is in you.
John 14:20 I in the father,
you in me and I in you
John 14:23
Christ and the father dwelling in you.
That is the essential quality, when
you realize that God is
the creator and you are a creature.
You realize that God is within you
and within all life.
HOW DID WE LOSE UNITY ?
GOD BECAME ANGRY
All we are left with, is that somebody
ate the wrong food,
or said some words that got
God ticked off.
Well to find the answer we must
now listen to the myths.
So then we may be open to truth,
universal cosmic truth.
In this way we transcend all things.
No opposites.
Galatians 3:28 sums it up.
There is neither Jew, nor Greek,
bond nor free.
Neither male or female.
For you are all one in Christ.
BECAUSE ALL ARE PHOTON
AND PHOTON IS NEITHER
MALE OR FEMALE
All is one.
All is universal oneness.
In nothingness there is one.
It is all in all
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
SAID
WHAT PACAL VOTAN SAID
ABOUT 2012
Joseph Campbell says the calling
of all mythology and life
is to put the harmony of our own body
and mind in accord
with the
harmony of nature.
But you have to become interested
to feel a sense of wonder,
to invest in the journey of
transcendent possibilities.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
LIFE IS A POEM
To see life as a poem and yourself
part of the poem.
To be part of the journey.
Looking and listening.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
TAO-TE CHING
The person who thinks he has found
the ultimate truth
is wrong says Joseph Campbell.
The Chinese Tao-Te Ching says.
He who thinks he knows does not know.
He who knows that he does not know, knows.
To unite the field of mother nature
with your nature,
to harmonize with all life.
But religion has us consumed with
sin and with our guilt.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
RAMA KRISHNA
Rama Krishna said
If all you think of are your sins
then you are a sinner.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
GOING TO CONFESSION
This brought Joseph Campbell to
his younger years.
Going to confession.
Meditating on each little sin.
Making up some sins.
His life then changed.
Instead of saying bless me father
for I have sinned,
he would follow Krishna and say.
Bless me father for I have been great.
Listen to the good things I
have done this week.
God wants us to be alive to be
self-motivated.
Matthew 5:14 You
are the light of the world
Luke 17:21 The
kingdom of God is within you
That’s what Jesus wanted you to know.
THE CHURCH DOES NOT PRAISE
YOUR GREATNESS
AS JESUS DID
THE CHURCH SPEAKS OF YOUR SINS
Thus you are put in a servile condition
all of your life.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
AND ZEN PHILOSOPHIES
Joseph Campbell talks of a Zen philosopher
D.T. Suzuki
He stood up to comment on Christianity
at a meeting
that Campbell conducted.
He said.
God against man, man against God.
Man against nature.
Nature against man.
Nature against God.
God against nature.
Very funny religion.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
RELIGION OF THE EAST IS OF
GOD AND NATURE
RELIGION OF THE WEST
CONCEIVES RELIGION
OF THE EAST AS EVIL
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE RELIGION OF THE WEST
Joseph Campbell comments how strange
religion is in the West.
In the religions of the East you identify with God.
You identify with nature and you fight evil.
The religion of the West associates
this Eastern religious
way with evil.
Every religion is true in one way or another.
It it’s understood symbolically, but
when it gets stuck in
it’s own symbols
interpreting them as facts,
then you are in trouble.
THE BIBLE CONFIRMS
THE ABOVE STATEMENT
OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL
Psalm 78:2 God speaks in parables
Proverbs 1:6 Wisdom is understanding
dark sayings
Galatians 4:24 The Old Testament story
of Abraham is allegory
Mark 4:34 Without a parable,
Jesus spoke not
2 Cor. 3:6 Be not a minister of the letter,
for the letter kills
Mark 4:22 Unto you is given to know the
mystery of God.
To those without all things are parables.
WHY THEN SHOULD WE EVER READ
THE BIBLE LITERALLY?
Yet that’s what Christian teachers do .
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
TAKING THE BIBLE LITERALLY
MEANS YOU DON'T KNOW
AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIND OUT
Then you are in trouble, because
you don’t know and there
is no way to find out.
Joseph Campbell suggests that we begin to
pay attention to this.
As
he explains.
The Bible says Jesus ascended into heaven.
If we take that literally then there is
no place for him to go
but to wander forever in space.
We all have to then keep in mind that
the Jesus of the Bible
was quoted as saying that the Kingdom
of heaven is within us.
IF JESUS ASCENDED 2000YEARS
AGO AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT
HE WOULD STILL BE IN THIS GALAXY
HIS HEAVENLY FATHER WOULD BE
LOOKING AT HIS WATCH
WHERE IS THAT KID?
It is totally a physical, literal,
scientific impossibility.
But if you believe Jesus and listened
to what he taught,
then you will understand.
JESUS ASCENSION WAS
NOT TO OUTER SPACE
IT WAS TO INNER SPACE
To the place from which all beings come.
Into the consciousness that is the
source of all things.
The Kingdom of Heaven within.
Thus we must obey him and
ascend with him.
Returning to the source.
Alpha and Omega.
The source of all things.
SHAKESPEARE
Shakespeare said that art is
a mirror held up to nature.
That nature is your nature and
all the wonderful poetic
images of mythology refer to you.
The Bible says that you are the
light of the world
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
THE MESSAGE IN THE BOTTLE
Joseph Campbell says:
The story of Jesus ascending to heaven
is a message in a bottle from a shore
someone has visited before.
Now Joseph Campbell makes a
wonderful point
for us all to bask in.
To say
“I and the father are one” as Jesus said is
blasphemy for us.
However in the Gospel of Thomas
Jesus says,
“He who drinks from my mouth will
become as I
and I shall be as he.
Now that is Buddhism.
We are all manifestations of
Buddha or Christ consciousness.
We simply don’t know it.
The word Buddha means the one who wakes up.
Let us look at the Bible and compare.
Romans 13:11,
And knowing that now it is high time to awake
out of sleep.
For now is our salvation nearer
then we had believed.
So then as Joseph Campbell taught,
as Jesus taught,
as Buddha taught,
as Krishna taught:
THERE IS A WAY
There is a way.
A way that will take us above and
beyond the sorrow and
the fear and the
guilt.
A way that will bring us to a
oneness with nature.
No more to be feared but to be
joined as family.
To become one with all life on
this planet and
in this universe.
But to be one, we must follow the one.
The one who parts from the crowd
and says follow me.
PUT YOUR RELIGION DOWN
Put your traditions down.
Put your guilt down.
Put your fears down.
Put your life
down.
Follow the inner one who says,
Follow me and I will take
you to the kingdom.
I will ascend and you will ascend,
and we will sit at the right
hand of all that is, or ever can be.
