@@zazuzazz5419 Well...yes. Humans make everything worse than it needs to be. But life itself is horrific--as JC also says. All this killing and eating. The "Golden Lotus World" may be visited in times of grace, but enlightenment does not mean a constant state of grace. Chop wood, carry water....
The world is the people and we are the wasteland. We are the dragon that needs to be forced into fairness for all. With addressing this issue no individual or group will improve the wasteland.

been trying to find the part of where Campbell says something along the lines of "the god of death is the god of sex" Can anyone help me find it? please?
Many gods of death were also gods of birth or fertility or regeneration. The Haitian Voodoo god of death, Ghede, is also the god of sex. Osiris was the judge and lord of the dead and the lord of regeneration and life. Vishnu destroys the world, and rebuilds it. You have to have death in order to have life.(J.Campbell)

Lol... I love Joseph Campbell, but I beg to differ on this point: teaching is not an easy job, whether you are inspired to teach or just getting by until retirement. In fact, if you have passion, at least that makes up for the grind.

MGBY Joseph Campbell, even when you are gone you’re still teaching us. You really must be in Bliss. 🙏
Thank goodness he slayed his own dragon. He is an example of what he says, and he changed the world by following his bliss, teaching
A beautiful man who shared the wisdom he had discovered…thank you Joseph💕
This is immensely WISE!

"Bill: How do I slay?"
I love the sincerity by both men.Nowadays the interviewer would be mocking him.
"The world is a wasteland" 😂 noted
Joe knows this is “The Golden Lotus World.” As It is. We humans are the ones f*cking it up. Humans define and delineate any wasteland.
Yes. And we have the power to vitalize!

(And no, I am not a teacher, but I was married to one.)
Have any of you managed to slay your own dragon?
How about give Joseph a chance to answer?
No, he needed to see if Joseph would snap or crack under pressure by being a dick,
Joseph did an excellent job with the questions fired at him
@@vtwintora bruh they have really tight timeline (the whole session was ~5hr long) so Bill needed to squeeze as much as he can. This was recorded few months before Joseph died. There is no hostility whatsoever.

Fired at him? Haha! Have you met Joe? He is an American Master.
Did any of you catch the contradiction here of "slaying the dragon"?...SBN RESONATE

We went through this disastrous cult in the 70's.
This is some half baked B.S. ie sometimes you can’t do that .
