5' - The Power of Myth

The excerpts are from a conversation between Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell, exploring the power of myth in shaping human lives and understanding the world. Campbell argues that myths are essential for understanding human experience, offering models for life, revealing universal truths, and guiding individuals on their journeys of self-discovery. He contends that myths are not confined to the past, but rather offer insights into the present by explaining the human need for spiritual meaning, the search for the divine, and the transformative power of the hero's journey. The conversation examines various aspects of mythology, including the hero's journey, the role of the unconscious, the importance of ritual, and the significance of the relationship between the hunter and the hunted.
