Status Updates From El poder del mito (Spanish ...

What an interesting conversation about dreams as sort of personal myths. It makes sense - they’re personal stories and experiences that we project against societal norms.

And the idea of sin and the serpent as grounding and the necessity of sin to beget life.

Lowkey this makes me feel small and peaceful

Joseph Campbell globalist liberal propaganda

It’s fun seeing all of these patterns that Campbell is talking about. Not just with myths but with life which is why it works it’s why into myth. So many things - especially the number thirteen being involved so heavily in US symbolism - feels so intentional now, not just a coincidence of history.

“Amamos esta terra como um recém-nascido ama o bater do coração da mãe.Por isso,se vos vendermos a nossa terra,amem-na como nós a temos amado,cuidem dela como nós temos cuidado. Não esqueçam como ela era quando a receberam…Tal como nós somos parte da terra,vocês são parte da terra...Nenhum homem,seja vermelho ou branco, pode estar separado. Afinal,somos todos irmãos." Chefe Seattle (carta dirigida ao governo dos EUA)

Very interesting. I can agree with what Campbell says about how myth informs on life and the themes and iterations of them shape how we understand experiencing it.

I don’t know that I agree that issues with society are that people don’t have myth anymore. Though I see the point that myth isn’t as directly construed these days.

I also really liked the discussion on how themes change and develop w the times
