The Power of Myth changed my life when I read it back in the mid-eighties. I was homeless and broke. It gave me the three words I needed to know: Follow Your Bliss.
What resulted was four years later I made a movie called Daredreamer....a musical which embraces this. 100 cast, all original soundtrack. Please, if interested, check it out. I love love love Joseph Campbell and am eternally grateful for his work
HI, I find 1:49 contradicting, could you explain please? now if I want to follow my bless and do what i love and PLAN what I want to do, How come I should abandoon my PLANNINGS!!!!
@leviterande The life we have planned is not always the life we really want for ourselves. Campbell is comparing the idea of following what parents/teachers etc. want for us, to what we feel is right for our own life. I think all he is really saying is open yourself up to whatever comes your way and don't allow yourself to be restricted.
I think he may have meant that instead of living a life that our society or our parents expect us to live, we must each listen to our intuition and follow our own unique path. Once you know what that true path is for yourself, then your only plan is simply to stay on that path.
"People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. That's what it's all finally about. "
"We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us." Wow.....thank you for this share beautiful Helen, and thank you Shara for creating such a wonderful video :D xx
but when i go to build a house i do have to use a plan.. only it does change somewhat when i build it and the results are the way I put my joy into it or my sorrow.. build it on good foundation and watch it grow.. do the best you can and let go of the results
Thank you Shara!

If you're a fan of Campbell you should see a film called Beheading Buddha, I think it's coming out in 2011.
