Anyone ever do any research into sociology, mythology, along with archeology? I have read a little about Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)
American professor, writer, scholar and orator in the fields of mythology and comparative religion. He passionately studied myth and its similar, seemingly cohesive threads among all human cultures, ie that all myths originate from a common source - the communal past of the human race. He believed all the religions of the world, all the rituals and deities, to be “masks” of the same transcendent truth which is “unknowable.” He often quoted a Vedic Scripture saying, "Truth is one, the sages speak of it by many names".
He is author of several books, including:
. The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1948)
. The Masks of God: Creative Mythology (1995)
. Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation (2004)
. The Power of Myth (1991)
many called him a social genius. "The goal of life is to make your heart beat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with nature"~Joseph Campbell~
Did any of you ever watch "Star Wars"? George Lucas was a good friend of J.Campbell and alot of the ideas in Star Wars were helped along by this work. If anyone is interested in how these people in prehistoric times lived, behaved, and believed I suggest reading into some of this mans masterpieces!!
