RE: Heroism In Times Of "Human Mass"
Hi allabout. I love what your thinking about! One of my favorite ways of looking at the archetype of the hero in modern days is by seeing each of us individual human beings as a hero living out the myth of our lives. Joseph Campbell refers to this living out our life as the epic myth that it is as the Hero's Journey. I think that if each of us can embrace our Self as hero and our life as Myth, then the purposefulness, meaning and wisdom that would be generated would create a very different world indeed.
is that available anythere?
You can find some cursory introductory information about the construct of the Hero's Journey here: http://www.thewritersjourney.com/hero%27s_journey.htm. Also, you've inspired me to write a post about it! Thanks!
It can describe most of questions :)
“Cannabis is anathema to the dominator culture because it deconditions or decouples users from accepted values. Because of its subliminally psychedelic effect, cannabis, when pursued as a lifestyle, places a person in intuitive contact with less goal-oriented and less competitive behavior patterns. For these reasons marijuana is unwelcome in the modern office environment, while a drug such as coffee, which reinforces the values of industrial culture, is both welcomed and encouraged. Cannabis use is correctly sensed as heretical and deeply disloyal to the values of male dominance and stratified hierarchy. Legalization of marijuana is thus a complex issue, since it involves legitimating a social factor that might ameliorate or even modify ego-dominant values.” Hallucinations, 1994
