watching video about joseph campbell
started the video 20 minutes late :D
heroes: ideal of strength and courage, an explorer, philosopher, artist, scientist
regardless, the journey is the same
hero responds to call of adventure
restless, feeling of destiny
all heroes need a mentor
starwars n stuff
hero must seize the treasure/goal
challenged to use wisdom of heart
hitler stuff


each society's hero personoifies that culture
hero's idea transforms the world
follows hero's call to adventure
hero gets courage to heed call
mentor/weapon/magic
descent into underworld
heroes are tested with trials/labyrinths
archetypes
act on instinct
strange guardian of hell
challenged to use wisdom of heart
hero can't get power from "the machine" (society), he has to work his own way
when the hero becomes a part of the machine, he capitulates to the devil
evil exists when the individual starts acting as a machine
devil is known in many texts as mephistopheles aka mephisto
devil can furnish wants and desires
follow your bliss and doors will open
mmmm...delicious courage

restatement of what we read last night
