Joseph Campbell - Jung and the Right and Left-hand Paths

- Joseph Campbell continues exploring C.G. Jung’s idea of the Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious by looking at myth in relationship to Jung’s concept of the Persona system - the aspects of one’s personality that been shaped by the society. Campbell then looks at the two ways that myths deal with this: The Right-hand Path, staying within the Persona System; and the Left-hand Path, the dangerous, individual path of breaking out of society’s rules and expectations.
The lecture from which this clip was taken has been released as the first program in Mythos I - The Shaping of Our Mythic Tradition (www.jcf.org/works/mythos-series)

It can’t be emphasized enough that the ‘left hand path’ spoken of here is only barely survivable if you can have respect for your civilization and you have something to offer. I don’t think it’s about being some kind of miserable debauched criminal - I think it has more to do with being able to detatch from the reward system of your society to live and think and behave in a more sophisticated or nuanced way, and survive all the rejection from that until you can achieve something or produce something that might reshape the world in a beneficial way.
Well said .
"Amor fati "
Bikewithlove very well said. its the path less travelled. ..the one i choose.. often living out of my 4wd van, backcountry nordic skìing, working jobs outdoors ( eg building walking tracks). i do photography and little sideshows on my blog.... and slowly anchoring myself in something bigger and more inspiring than pue hedonism. ... i get admiration , but also some rejection ( eg from some rather bourgeois relatives in the past).
A wise man said that you need both hands to pull yourself up.
And who’s to say what that something is? It isn’t always something one can touch with hands. It is something one feels in heart🙏🏽💜
It's collectivism, many will shape their personas to fit the ego of theirs.
Embrace both paths - Be in the world but not of the world.
Be in the world but not of the world? This dualistic thinking doesn’t make any sense.
@@mikeappleget482 It does make sense. What is the point of broadcasting all your questions, thoughts and ideas to the world at large? Number 1, almost nobody wants to hear. Number 2, you're still thinking it through, feeling your way intellectually, and that takes undisturbed mental quiet time. Most people, once they start to wake up, are so excited that they want to tell the world everything, but after continual rejection (99.999%), stop doing that for the most part. This is an inward journey and no one can do it for you. Other people don't want to know and no matter what you say, they don't believe you. Not to mention, blabbing all your developing beliefs and knowledge can cost you your job, your family, your friends and your reputation. (You'll be gaslighted as a nutcase.) So why wear your heart on your sleeve?
@@mikeappleget482 I'm here but I don't get involved in the mainstream, ordinary bullshit that most people waste their lives with. It's called living consciously
Of the universe
It's not possible to be both LHP & RHP. You cannot walk in two directions at once and you absolutely don't get the best of both worlds walking South to avoid having to choose between East & West. Attempting to exist between the two isn't embracing both, it is simply standing in stasis.
The left path is service to self. The right path is service to others. There is no right or wrong. No good or bad. Just positive or negative orientation. The key is to Live. Death is an illusion
I will just add: what happens when one learns the Self to a high degree? as a Natural byproduct of spending time saturating the identity and building the material Self after the image and voice through the mirror? the Answer is that you Truly exist for others because you Understand certain things about why it must be so.
The middle path is superior to either left or right, but I seem to be one of the few who know this. 99.9999% of my fellow humans don't get it. Because you live in a universe where each path needs the other to exist, thus the only choice is merging the paths into one. Equilibrium is where true ascension is found.
no left hand is freedom. your path. right hand is serving others - God, gods, authorities
@@kropkingtrue. best way is to mix it and dont follow one path. and also there arent just 2 paths, you are free to make another one. or to discover more.
@@kropking "That's how the 'anarch' differs from the anarchist. The anarchist intervenes, undertakes actions and finally commits suicide. The 'anarch' looks at the whole thing and thinks his thoughts. But he doesn't intervene." - Ernst Jünger
The wisdom here is that each culture develops a *different* right-hand path, but the *same* left-hand path. The nature of truth is that it can be discovered in infinite ways but the result is always the same.
*
This isn’t exactly true though. There is a large difference between the Eastern systems of the Left Hand Path (Vamachara), and the Western systems of the Left Hand Path (Satanism).
What is the result?
@@Xeper616 Jesus was a left-hander.
language causes all the problems -MDB
Whenever I think of LHP i think of "my way" by frank sinatra, people will say you ought to do this, its be better to avoid that etc etc. But at the end of your life you will be sitting with yourself and the life you have chosen. I quickly realized I did not admire those who conform so I never did. I have less friends than I used to but now I realized they weren't really my friends because they did not know me. I was playing a character constantly. Now Im more me than ever people assume things often as I live in the shadows for the most part. I bear the light to bring about a new day. And only then are they thankful I lead the way.
Sounds like me mate haha
He nailed the left path that I'm on.....whoa dude!
Yes i switched my life and im using my left hand dominance. Things are so much better😊
The trouble is for most people in the West there no longer exists either path. There is no grounding in a tribe/people (right hand) and hence nothing to journey away from (left hand). This is why people are so screwed up today in ways that the world has never seen.
What a wonderful teacher he was. And he helped bring Jung into public awareness, at last. Thank you for uploading this.
For as far as you reach with your left hand you'll be rewarded on the right, for as deep as you sink your roots into this earth your leaves will breathe in eternal light, if you be wise enough to identify with all but none along the way, the renewal of your mind will find itself in time for the wedding of night and day.
-Best a luck out there!
left hand path: you choose a nice life in this world
right hand path: you choose a nice life in the hereafter
pick wisely bro. 😂
I can never get enough of that Joseph Campbell.
for me, what campbell says here is so important. do you want a respected life? or an interesting life?
there is an interview where he says follow your bliss . he encourages the left hand path as he describes in this video.
So cool. I did not know about this! I definitely took the left hand path. The black sheep 🐑. Thank you 🙏 Mr. Campbell for your body of work! 🙌💚
I like the optimism and the hope of the left hand
I’ve read and studied and taught classes on JC for over 35 years:
It took me a long time to realize that it’s not a choice, as JC says here. It’s often painful and distressing and lonely to be a left handed path person. It wasn’t a choice, if it were, I would have chosen a right handed path however boring. A well worn path is easier to walk. Funny that JC life was a right handed path, education, where he could talk about and share left handed path psychology. He’s a treasure.
Been on the left path ever since I started making art , over 7 years ago.
Campbell’s lectures are so condensed and packed with complex idea, almost every sentence could be a PhD topic
Very illuminating, especially for those like me who are spiritually immersed in the adversarial path. By the way, It helps me also to explain myself and to others some aspects of this dichotomy between "the right" and "the left" regarding esotericism. Thank you (and I am going to look for the complete reading that looks very interesting).
I learn more in these short clips from Campbell than I do anywhere else.
I love this, as it helps me understand myself, which is hellishly difficult!
Thankyou for words from this great thinker. I used to listen to him on ABC radio about 40 yrs ago and that's how long I have lived alone.
I decided to take the left hand way and have been leading an interesting life, fraught with obstacles and challenges. Living in different countries alone, travelling and surviving on little. As a single female with no partner or children I have lived a rich life and proven to myself there is another path. But it is not for everyone.

These videos are fantastic. So inspirational and precisely spot on! What a fantastic guide. Thank you to whoever is uploading 🙏🏻🌷🦋
According to these ideas, I was on the right hand path until 31 years of age.
It had been 3 years since I flipped out and lost the order of my old life, slipping into the left hand path; losing hope and order.
Chaos has become the way, any hope of order has become unfamiliar; abstract.
The pain of lose was so great, I had to do something about it. I had to lose myself into wilderness.
"If a man finds a good wife, he will become happy, if he finds a bad one he will become a philosopher." -Socrates
The abyss looks back, gazing into my soul, it flees from me as I give chase.
I am okay to suffer; I am not okay to try not to suffer.
Now I need opportunity.
Like a man on a sick bed, I lay on the broken glass of worthless achievement; useless.
Coughing, I rise from my sweat stained pillow to allow water into this fading substance.
where am I? Ah that now familiar feeling; I never do know.
Why did I come to this place? What was the point? Never mind, it never matters.
How delightful, a hidden gem buried here in this empty field that belongs to my forefathers... perhaps this one gem somehow justifies those who find and are unwilling to sell it.
Will I be allowed to have it? It doesn't seem to me as though I have a choice but to take that which has been given to me; with gratitude.
Life, life has been given to me.
The deeper down you go- the greater the treasures you can pull out.
@@markmurex6559 I need some of those for real lol
let the wilderness heal you... see the movie " wild" and read the book , which is better. also " into the wild" . you will later find purpose and it will order your life. for the moment , heal.
I believe that there would be less left if venality did not dominate the circle... If we look back in history all human desire some sort of fidelity, either to self or an other. when a mind is wheeled by low emotional cognitive aptitude, choice revolves around ones avaricious expression... Narcissism dissociates one from the congenital nature of reality, therewith psychosis and the denial of it,,, close looping the mind causing vexation.Infidelity becomes the prominent expression leaving the sense of loss of self. Self worth exceeds all treasure. Love to ALL

Im so glad this channel came up and I subscribed. Now my occasional youtube binge wont seem like such a waste of time.
Gold.
Refined.
What a clear and simpel way of explaining the journey of individual progress !
Polar thinking is important here (per, Taoism) . Both left and right approaches to life need not be ‘either/or,’ rather, ‘both/and’ in creative tension. Never, is this a zero-sum proposition. You don’t go into space without living in a canned version of earth (note: an organism is inseparable from the environment that produced it). Two approaches, that are also one; like two sides of a snake as it swims. Each approach defines the other-something of each is in the other- in an inseparable transactional, give and take relationship.
Wow. I wouldn't have thought that there are videos of him. Thanks for that!
This is so well explained.
Really fascinating, thanks!
You follow the way of your own bliss! -LHP.
Doesn't it make more sense to call it the left and right BRAIN paths? But i guess they didn't know it back then, they just witnessed that left handed tend to be artist types. The right hand path is religion/culture. The left hand path is what creates new cultures/relgions, if you are lucky enough to actually successfully complete the shamanic/schizophrenic/bipolar/divine-madness/crazy-wisdom/creative-illness hero's journey.
this is a wonderful little clip that explains a lot about the Jungian concept of the self and its dualism (persona vs. anima/animus). Joe gives us so many insights and clues into the heroe's journey here. Yes, it is dangerous - but it is also "following one's bliss" and he goes on with the wise words "a realm without rules" and "your bliss is not mine", to put it another way: truth is a pathless land and you have to find your own truth, there is no general truth, no pill that fits all. To reconcile the left-hand path with Satanism requires a somewhat deeper understanding of why the ego system can perceive its own divine counterpart, the wise, as the devil - while the wise calmly replies: "from my point of view it is you who are the devil."
@Cla B Great points you make. Your thoughts about Natural Law being objective reality?
That text was amazing
Great videos!
I conceive of it this way: the right hand path, the hieratic way is the way of obedience to the divine, abolition of ego. Want to be united to God (however He is conceived), until there is no I but God. The goal is the dissolution of the ego-drop in the ocean of divinity, to attain a transcendent, tranquil bliss, without independent existence, beyond all desires or attachments. The left-hand path is the infernal way, seeking power for self, rebellion against divine, ego-aggrandisement. Associated with magic and sorcery. Want to become God, until there is no God but you. The goal is to become an independent deity of one's own realm, where one is free to indulge one's desires 'play God' all one wishes (e.g. Mormonism) ‘There is no God but I and chaos is my apostle.’ Instead of the dissolution of the Self, the goal is the infinite perpetuation of the Self, and the imposition of one's own ego on others. Basically self-actualisation vs self-sacrifice. Selfishness vs selflessness.
“He”? 😂
please explain more I have some questions on this
Not only is this blasphemy but its also cringe
Thx. Helpful vid!!!
Interesting watch 👍
two paths that are parallel to which he is speaking are an individual's quest in life to the decision of materialism or idealism...whether your life's goal is to own as many material things as possible in this world, or to simply enjoy what life has to offer.
These multiple levels & contexts of ideas were later reflected in “co-ordinated management of meaning” (Cronen & Pearce?). Very useful for family therapy.
¡Gracias!
Never heard Joe state it like this before. This IS Truth.
Authenticity💚
Follow your Bliss.
Also, since the convid the left is looking pretty cool.

Is he saying that the left hand path is that of individuation?
Shane Smith yes. the path of the seeker, the pilgrim, ( into the wild movie etc). also of the ground breaking entrepreneur like Elon Musk etc.
@@MrAussieJules yes, I love that movie. The seeker of Self.

Individuation? Don’t reach for labels too quickly. That is part of the right hand path. Breath. Look. Feel. Be. Trust yourself. When the croupier spins the wheel and says, “All bets are off,” you are here, the ball will bounce for ever. This is a process, not an outcome. Take one step then another. Smile, feel compassion and yet you are also a warrior. May there be healing where healing is possible. May there be grace where grace is possible. Go well and Blessed Be.

@@bojanbabic4982 being on TH-cam has nothing to do with it. And to disclose the obvious, so are you. So how exactly do you get to pass judgement on someones journey?
@@penzotoko6619 being involved with youtube and processing your thoughts through a youtube comments is very "wordly" thing to do, and I don't see how having a right approach to rhe warrior life has anything to do with it.
I have no courage to take a life like that, but I'm not a fool and I'm not lying to myself about it to make me feel better.
Sorry for my eng, and sorry if I offended you..
Or we just have different understanding on the matter.
@@bojanbabic4982 No offense taken mate. I think you may have the path of the warrior and the left hand path a bit mixed up. One is not the same as the other (although I'd say they do overlap). To me, as that is all I can speak for, the left hand path is purely that path which goes against the grain, against the established norm and the path of making decisions for yourself rather than following an already established set of rules. It's why religious overlords have tried to compare it to devil worship in the past because it is a way of smearing people who didn't fall into line when they demanded. Everyone's journey is different and we all need to use different methods and tools to get where we want to go so if that tool is now digital media...so be it. Any tool can be used to build good and also can be used to do harm. It is up to the individual with that tool to make that decision. Hope that cleared up my defense of the original post.
Thank you Joseph Campbell. And this is something that needs to be studied and integrated into personal growth. As it's hard to understand, it's even more hard to grow. Anyway i started to not take seriously people who say I know, we know, or I am, or we are. Beacuse they are in shadow i think and most likely ideologs or left hand path people.
Preach it maestro

I would like these clips to be longer. The sound bites don’t do the deep material justice.

Thank you for putting this video out there! I tried to do so a few years back, but I was struck down (rightly so) because it wasn't my content.

Is there a full video for this seminar ??
To realize that goodness, truth, and beauty are only here now "within", is our common birthright. How to realize this? With rigorous honesty ask: Who am I?, What is this?, and What is the "I am"? Living in "I don't know" is the creative center of being. Test this. See if it is so. Claim your birthright.
I’m 32, have certainly followed the left hand path all my life. Oh What stories I have to tell.. currently recovering from a second brain injury. It’s a treacherous unadvisable path to enlightenment. You may get there, but you’ll wish you had done it a different way. At least that’s what I think.
Wonder about both hands.... i think the light and the dark are all the same... just like in Star Wars Jedi vs Sith it diesnt matter.
Jesus and Lucifer are the same.
Embrace no ways, that which is boundless should be boundless without associating and bounlessness. Concepts do not apply to that beyond concepts.
Otherworldly .Not of This
I've flipped out....yeah, you caught me haha.
Where are you now Professor Campbell?
The path and its spectrum
The right hand of God (Dextera Domini "right hand of the Lord" in Latin) or God's right hand may refer to the Bible and common speech as a metaphor for the omnipotence of God and as a motif in art. In the Bible, to be at the right side "is to be identified as being in the special place of honor".
although lucifer was "his" favourite... and one can wonder why, unless...
And that is "the road not taken"..
It seems like Incongruities today, in a materialistic society nearly bereft of humanity or spirituality, or personal responsibility towards the impact ones habits may have on the other living beings on Earth and the environment, with so much strife and division and constant distractions, are more likely to lead you down a more enlightening path.

Find the center path

There is no Left or Right
Woah, thaas deep
Depending on the terminology of the left hand path, just defines as leaving that if the majority mainstream accepted path or that the majority claim of believe or accept as normal, though an individual could still take the left hand path with many rules and laws to live by and follow that which not be as the normal majority may see as acceptable or Normal. To characterize and analogy of such an occurrence would be those that support a females rights vs those that treated females as cattle or slaves, or also ending racism or slavery among the races thinking one race has superiority over another due to the color of the skin yet they are the same KIND. And even so, all KINDS have certain specific rights, even a dog has rights that which a Human has no right to torture a dog.. that is a part of a rule set what which I call Ancient Ways Laws, Codes, and Practices, how KINDS among the First Order of Kinds (Humans or Dragons), among the Second Order are to treat KINDLY and not abuse or torture those among the Second Order (Dogs or Cattle)..even some have a rule of a Kosher Kill as one may call such among the First Order of KINDS if to kill a Kind among the Second Order to due such for sustenance and food the Kill is to be done as quick as can be done so the Second Order Kind does not suffer and does not feel as much pain if that which can be done. Course, mainstream on Earth think Humans are the only that Exist, many, though theur are MANY First Order Kinds that Exist, Neanderthals, Dragons, Humans, etc, etc, and theur are Laws and Rules that govern that they too, the First Order Kinds are to be civilized with one another, for Laws and Rules that are to govern this for they are not to be Prejudice toward one another if one may look differently physically or even with which their diet consists whether Herbivore (Vegan), Carnivore, or Omnivore, or if the Kinds that exist among them are born Polygamists or Monogamists.

Left hand path speaks to me.
But Dharma Nation says, the left hand path is the one of the devil.
🤔
"The devil' is used to discourage individuality and has been for centuries. Why exactly do you think the symbol of God is the lamb while the symbol of the opposer is a goat? Both animals are similar until it comes to demeanor. One is very wilful while the other is very docile and obedient. The devil is therefore a symbol used to frighten you back into line. Be the goat and explore your own path if you have the stamina for it or be the lamb if that's where your comfort lies...but for your own sake please make that decision yourself and not because dead humans once tried to tell you to do so.
@@penzotoko6619 I guess it depends on what you mean by individuality. If you spin "individuality" too far, it's illusion. We're all ultimately connected. So I can see why this path may be discouraged.
Any opinion towards that matter should come with solid argumentation, otherwise it's just dogmatic nonsense.
@@jabinshem1110 By individuality I mean that you think and make decisions for yourself not by a set of preplanned rules. You do what you feel is right regardless of 'what the neighbors think', (if I may borrow a line from Campbell here). I'd counter that your take on spinning individuality and that we're all connected could easily be considered dogmatic nonsense and was also not accompanied by solid argumentation so be careful where you point that stick. If it gets to the point where I have to include a bibliography everytime I discuss philosophy on TH-cam then its time to move these conversations to a more serious venue.
@@penzotoko6619 "Were all connected", that's not dogmatic nonsense, that's a fact. Pragmatically speaking, if we weren't connected, we couldn't communicate and register each other. On a more spiritual level, we are ultimately one, because we inhabit one universe. We are scattered conciousness like matter in the universe, but that ultimately is from one source. We're not ultimately from different sources. And so, "individualism" can only go up to a point, and then reconnect with the community. Also, all conscious content is part of the universal. It can not be otherwise. You can not think something that isn't part of the universal conciousness. Individual conciousness is just an aspect of universal conciousness.
What do you think?
@@jabinshem1110 Well I think I actually agree with your sentiment. That said I wasn't arguing those points but rather the point that without argumentive proof it can't be taken seriously. There are paths of thought that say that only I exist and that all other things are creations of mine...I don't believe this but I also can't disprove it with anything other than opinion and comprehension of what I've learned and see in daily life. My only true disagreement with you is the 'you can't be believed if what you say doesn't line up with what I already believe'. I think that is a dangerous way of being. I can say with certainty that what I believed 30 years ago is certainly not the same as what I believe today. Thereby what I believe in another twenty years will likely be different yet again. To definitively say that a philosophy, religion, or spiritual experience is a 'fact' goes against the very definition of the word fact. Words matter as language is all we have to communicate with in a forum such as this and sadly too many of us take those words for granted. We don't even know where each other come from so it's very possible the vernacular of my region is quite different from that of yours, making certain 'common truths' not common at all to someone from a different background. Admittedly this can easily become pedantic but a discussion where we have only words to go on (no body language, facial expressions or the like) must take care to use the words responsibly.

Even if someone picks a group and serves others, it is still to satisfy their self.
After reading the comments I've come to the conclusion that no one has a clue what's going on here. Everyone seems to have their own opinion, which is to be expected with philosophy but christ man you'd think someone would figure it. Doesn't seem that hard, the guy literally explains it in plain English in a 4 min clip. Idk maybe I'm missing something

Left in Latin languages is "Sinistra", i. e sinister, mainly due to religion. I just don't see the relevance, I suppose philosophy may come down to semantics, certainly according to Wittgenstein.
Disjointed, hacked up, out of context bits and pieces of Campbell"s message?
The world needs, for example, the full Moyer / Campbell interviews uncut, But this foumdation is instead hacking Campbell's core messages up into tiny little disjointed hacked up bits and pieces. They are doing that as teasers to commercially monetize Campbel's work.
The very nature of Campell's works must remain freely available, intact, in context, and sui- generis on a "giving foot forward" monetization model, which primarily is not the JC Foundation monetization model.
Does this greedy foundation have copyrights on these works?
Why can't anyone post these works up on IE. You Tube etc. free uncut unedited? For instance the full uncut Campbel / Moyers series.
Why is Moyer not acting to counter this outrage?
How to obtain these works intact & unedited now like when Campbell was alive without profiteering? That would be Campbell's will.
The Campbell Foundation, in the guise of proliferating Campbell's body of work, is instead fragmenting it for commercial monetary motives.
So aggravating!
Seriously any effort to keep Campbell's work free, and free of being hacked up, and free of being exploited by the world system, then count us in.
Metaphorically speaking: God was out for a stroll one day with the devil following along & imitating God. God was carrying something "he" had picked up along the way. The devil runs up and asks. "whatcha got there God?" God replies, "I got the truth." The devil then says," give it to me & I will organize it for you!".
JC Foundation you need to stop "money changing on the temple steps".
the way he uses Jungian anima/animus is more like Taoist yin and yang.

Fuck. I'm both. But more the left hand path. In fact, completely the left hand path.
I get the importance of individuation, but when he says "follow your bliss" and "your bliss is not my bliss" and generally disregards morality, does that mean that he thinks that any behavior AT ALL is permissible and justifiable? Like, what if someone's bliss comes from having sex with little kids, or burning down buildings full of people just for laughs? I know these are extreme, sensational examples, but I'm just trying to push the argument as far as possible, ya know? I'm really trying to understand the importance (or lack thereof) of morality.
I think Campbell's concept of bliss is something very different to the idea of doing whatever you want. It's more about finding your true purpose, maybe in a way similar to Thelema. It could involve the breaking of some manmade laws and it could go against some common attitudes to morality, as every manmade thing is fallible. Campbell probably assumes that it's inherently no ones true bliss and purpose to do harm to humanity.
Even in the wild, ones consciences said, do no harm. Something that all laws in culture dishes on the right don’t achieve by force to resolve it completely, only punish after the fact. I am living my life on the left, yet deeply willing to serve the right as mother, wife, friend etc...I don’t need a lawmaker to follow my conscience, and those living all right make every effort to lie and cheat and would only choose to do harm they won’t get caught and prosecuted for. Those on the right punish my freedom of consciousness where I harm no one, while they cause me pain and torture at every turn as if it’s an obligation. How many lie to themselves and randomly choose what ever suits their narscisistic nature to do what their desire dictates.
