VHS Movie Reviews of Sukhavati: A Mythic Journey [VHS]
Movie Review: Experience 4 years of comparative religion/pscychology in 1 DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Sukhavati is a compilation of a variety of lectures given by Mr. Campbell over the course of many years(30+). This DVD provides a comprehensive view his scholarly view of a dizzying array of subject matters, from economics to religion, from cavemen to astronauts and most importantly from the depths of human psychology to the relationship with mythology.
This DVD can take you places you can't even begin to imagine, if you let it.
"You hear a pang, mother or something..."
-Freud or Campbell?
"'Very deep is the well of the past, should we not call it bottomless?' And as one who has strived himself to go back to the origins of mythic forms, I can see this, it is bottomless. The mythological themes don't have a beginning, they have the archetypes....And so where is paradise, where do they come from? They come from desilee, the soul. The origin is from the soul of man."
-Campbell
WOW!
"At present, our world has rejected this world of symbology. It has gone into an
economic and political phase, where spiritual principles are completely disregarded. You may have practical ethics and that kind of thing, but there is no
spirituality in any aspect of our contemporary Western civilization. Our religious
life is ethical, not mystical. The mystery has gone and society is disintegrating as a result."
-Campbell
"The question is whether or not there can ever be a recovery of the mythological,
mystical realization of the miracle of life of which human beings are a manifestation."
-Campbell
Not for everyone, but for anyone who wants to understand the human condition.
Movie Review: Exquisite
Summary: 5 Stars
Though a discontinued item, this is available by searching google video, in two parts. It is really exquisite and I highly recommend viewing it. Movie Review: Step into a world of mythology and self-empowerment
Summary: 5 Stars
"I am yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I have the power to be born a second time. I am the source and creator of all the gods." are the opening words uttered by Joseph Campbell in this 80 minute DVD where the viewer is taken to a place rarely visited; his own consciousness. Joseph Campbell achieves this by weaving knowledge, religion, philosoby, mysticism, and mythology into a coherent lecture/poem where all we know about the world around us and its symbols are manifestaions of the Divinity in all of us. To put it bluntly: Get ready for a ride unlike any other, this DVD is awesome and will have you wondering and contemplating your life. I was truly inspired and every few months I find myself watching this DVD to remind myself that whatever Gods and Devils are around us are there because they are within us. Unlike anything I've ever seen. If you ever find yourself musing the words "is this it? there must be something more" then I would definitely recommend this DVD. Movie Review: Myths are public dreams - Dreams are private myths
Summary: 5 Stars
We learn or see what we already know. But sometimes it is hard to articulate; Joseph Campbell can. It becomes black and white, time and eternal.
The eastern religions and ancient realigns share the path of enlightenment. However it is up to us to make the journey. Only the western religion is at odds with nature by making symbols facts.
The message is reiterated in several ways so we have opportunity to realize that we need forgotten symbols and can regain them through our dreams.
He leaves us with the question as to will we ever be able to become one with nature once more?
Hinduism gives us the best presentation or mythology to fit our time.
This is just a simplistic review of a presentation that has so much depth that no review can do it justice.
Joseph Campbell - The Hero's Journey
Movie Review: A good intro to Joseph Campbell
Summary: 1 Stars
I love Joseph Cambell's work. This video is a good introduction to someone who is not familiar with Campbell but it is not his best. If you have seen Campbell's other works, there is very little new here.
My biggest complaint is that the sound track is sometimes distracting and annoying. At several points in the video the audio of Campbell speaking is very quiet. As you try to listen to what he is saying the sound track comes blasting in with Buddhist chanting or other music that washes out Campbell's voice.
The Mythos series is far, far better than this video. Even "The Power of Myth", Campbell's interview's with Bill Moyers, is more interesting and more informative that this video.
I suggest that you save your money and buy a different Joseph Campbell video.
