    Did We Forget The Myths? Part I: The Hero’s Journey

    Description: This week, we review the first part of Joseph Campbell’s epic ‘The Hero With A Thousand Faces' with a focus on the Hero’s Journey, the archetype that Campbell created which seeks to attach a single meaning to all myth, religion, and spiritual traditions through the ages. This archetype has then be used for creative projects across film, literature and music. Part 2 of the series will focus on the second half of ‘The Hero With A Thousand Faces' which deals with myth describing the birth and death of the universe. And in Part 3 we will look Homer’s Odyssey and the movie by Christopher Nolan and apply the Hero’s Journey to its plot and theme. #odyssey, #josephcampbell, #herosjourney, #herowithathousandfaces, #religion, #comparativereligion, #folklore, #myth, #spirituality, #history, #mythology,  __________ Time Stamps: 00:00 Introduction 02:15 Background of Joseph Campbell 05:30 Definition of Myth 07:30 The Hero’s Journey 12:20 The Departure and The Call To Adventure 14:05 Refusal of the Call 14:53 Supernatural Help 15:30 The Navajo Spiderwoman 17:05 Crossing of the First Threshold 18:30 The Belly of the Whale 20:00 The Initiation and The Road of Trials 20:37 The Meeting of the Goddess 23:08 Woman as Temptress 25:58 Atonement with the Father 30:19 Apotheosis (Exalted - Divine Rank) 31:44 The Ultimate Boon 33:12 The Return and Refusal of the Return 34:20 The Magic Flight 35:48 Rescue from Without 36:17 The Return Threshold 37:00 Master of the Two Worlds 39:02 Freedom To Live 39:18 The Keys 41:09 A Full Myth - The Inuit Myth of Raven 44:53 My Criticism of Campbell 47:52 Final Thoughts ___________ Links and Attributions: The Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now - The Real Meaning Uncovered https://youtu.be/zyC4Dzyb910 Black Elk Speaks, and What He Says Is Both Tragic And Beautiful https://youtu.be/8Asn8mmAQhI The Big Lebowski: The Definitive Meaning https://youtu.be/fshETNiFC9k Was Einstein a Mystic? https://youtu.be/cuNlfpL3j-c Attributions: Bill Moyers: Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth Link: https://billmoyers.com/series/joseph-campbell-and-the-power-of-myth-1988/ Joseph Campbell Photo By Joan Halifax - flickr_url: [1], CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=17242629 Find Us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FuzzSutra TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuzzsutra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuzzsutra/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fuzz-sutra/id1889277924 Hosted on Acast.

    The Big Lebowski: The Definitive Meaning, Themes & Philosophy

    In our episode this week we dissect the movie, The Big Lebowski, and find that it is much deeper than we thought at first glance. We know that Maud is tough, that Walter’s got issues, and that the Dude is lazy, but the reason why is quite mind boggling.  Oh and Donny and The Stranger played by Sam Elliott are much more important to the meaning of the movie than we thought… You will never look at this movie the same way. We hope you join us and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. #thebiglebowski, #biglebowski, #movies, #cinema, #philosophy, #religion, #spirituality, #history, #coenbrothers, #nihilists, #absurdism, #dudeism, #gender,  __________ Time Stamps: 00:00 Intro 2:44 Overview of The Big Lebowski 4:40 The Plot 6:45 Socio-Political Commentary 7:27 1960s Bums v 1980s Capitalists 8:14 Male Aggression 10:22 Gender Commentary - Battle of the Sexes 13:40 Maud 14:13 Jesus 14:55 Walter 17:33 Walter versus Nihilists 18:50 The Dude  23:17 The Stranger (Sam Elliott) 27:47 Donny 31:18 The Meaning __________  Links: Was Einstein a Mystic? (FS Episode) https://youtu.be/cuNlfpL3j-c The Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now - The Real Meaning Uncovered (FS Episode) https://youtu.be/zyC4Dzyb910 Attributions: Coen Brothers Photo: Created by Rita Molnár 2001 - Own work, CC BY-SA 2.5, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=395747 Joel Coen Quote: - Stone, Doug (March 9, 1998). "The Coens Speak (Reluctantly)". Indie Wire.   _______ Find Us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FuzzSutra TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuzzsutra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuzzsutra/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fuzz-sutra/id1889277924 Hosted on Acast.

    Black Elk Speaks. What he says is both tragic and beautiful.

    In our episode this week, we review the book, Black Elk Speaks. This is a tragic, beautiful, and contemplative telling of the cataclysmic fate of the Native American peoples as seen through the eyes of one of their spiritual leaders, Black Elk, and the words of the white man who wrote down his thoughts. We journey from the Battle of the Little Bighorn to Victorian, England. From the Black Hills of South Dakota to ghost worlds in the sky. Epic journeys and tragic events. This episode shook me to the core to produce and I hope you find this as fascinating and thought provoking as I did. #nativeamericans, #wildwest, #blackelk, #blackelkspeaks, #religion, #lakota, #sioux, #spirituality, #history, #literature __________ Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 2:00 Quick History Colonization and American Expansion 07:20 Black Elk and the Oglala, Lakota 09:15 Background of Black Elk Speaks 13:40 Black Elk Speaks and the Sacred Pipe 16:03 Black Elk’s Childhood and his Great Vision 22:05 The Black Hills and the Breaking a Treaty 24:35 The Sun Dance 26:22 War and the Battle of the Little Bighorn 30:19 Winter, Starvation, and Retreat 32:15 A Medicine Man, Lakota Ritual & Bison 40:00 Black Elk Goes to Europe 42:13 The Ghost Dance & Wounded Knee 47:50 Black Elk’s Epic Traumatic Life  49:45 What Black Elk is Telling Us Today __________  Find Us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FuzzSutra TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuzzsutra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuzzsutra/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fuzz-sutra/id1889277924 Hosted on Acast.
