Скачать или смотреть How to Find Your Bliss: Joseph Campbell on What It Takes to Follow Your Bliss

In 1985, mythologist and writer Joseph Campbell (March 26, 1904–October 30, 1987) sat down with legendary interviewer and idea-monger Bill Moyers for a lengthy conversation at George Lucas’s Skywalker Ranch in California, which continued the following year at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

This audio clip of Campbell is taken from that interview, set to samples from Reinier - Vibrations [Full BeatTape].

the most rewarding part of the conversation deals with the dictum that has come to encapsulate Campbell’s philosophy on life 'Follow your bliss':

"If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Wherever you are — if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time."

Campbell points to poets as the most attentive of listeners to the language of bliss:

"Poets are simply those who have made a profession and a lifestyle of being in touch with their bliss. Most people are concerned with other things. They get themselves involved in economic and political activities, or get drafted into a war that isn’t the one they’re interested in, and it may be difficult to hold to this umbilical under those circumstances. That is a technique each one has to work out for himself somehow.

But most people living in that realm of what might be called occasional concerns have the capacity that is waiting to be awakened to move to this other field. I know it, I have seen it happen in students."
