"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."

-- Joseph Campbell

[talltalestogo]

“Myth is metaphor. The imagery of mythology is symbolic of spiritual powers within us: when these are interpreted as referring to historical or natural events which science in turn shows could not have occurred, then you throw the whole thing out. You see, myths do not come from a concept system; they come from a life system; they come out of a deeper center. We must not confuse mythology with ideology. Myths come from where the heart is, and where the experience is, even as the mind may wonder why people believe these things. The myth does not point to a fact; the myth points beyond facts to something that informs the fact.

When you think, for instance, ‘God is thy father,’ do you think he is? No, that's a metaphor, and the metaphor points to two ends: one is psychological--that's why the dream is metaphoric; the other is metaphysical. Now, dream is metaphoric of the structures in the psyche, and your dream will correspond to the level of psychological realization that you are operating on. The metaphysical, on the other hand, points past all conceptualizations, all things, to the ultimate depth. And when the two come together, when psyche and metaphysics meet, then you have a real myth. And when that happens the sociological and the cosmological aspects of your life have to be re-visioned in terms of these realizations.”

-Joseph Campbell

HÉROE DE ILUMINACIÓN Justo como una flecha es jalada hacia atrás en un arco y enfocada en un blanco, liberada sin esfuerzo alcanza su meta, así también una sutil intención enfocada en una visión y liberada en el campo de conciencia pura o posibilidades infinitas encuentra su propio cumplimiento. En Yoga esto es llamado darhana, dhyana y samadhi- Alta visión, trascendencia y mente estable-. -Esto es cómo encuentras ambas, actualización de intención, satisfacción de deseo y liberación-. #heroe #héroedeiluminación #conciencia #Yoga #Meditación #Meditacion #Santidad #mitologia #Individualización #Epica #Epopeya #Triunfo #Espiritualidad #Integración #Liderazgo #Iluminación #iluminacion #josephcampbell #josephcampbellfoundation #liberacion #liberación https://www.instagram.com/p/CYdkyz-FLA-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Interesting theory.  I’ll keep that in mind.  I’ve been wanting to try getting back into writing fanfics lately.  

I’ve been too safe with my drawing too.  Especially my OTPs.  Even if my technique sucks I should start drawing what I really want to.  ...Maybe I’ll hide the post, but I should at least draw my OTPs as cuddly as I wanted.

I’ve had many #teachers in my life, but I keep coming back to three primarily: 1. @brucelee 2. @josephcampbellfoundation 3. @krishnamurtifoundationtrust... I got into #krishnamurti from #brucelee, because in my youth I wanted to reverse engineer what made Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee didn’t become Bruce Lee without the teachings of Krishnamurt. His iconography as martial art’s answer to James Dean overshadows that underlying Bruce Lee’s cult status is a philosopher using martial arts as a means to liberate himself from his own ignorance, and he could not accomplish this or even think in this manner without the penetrating philosohpy of Jiddu Krishnamurti. Likewise, I could not even attempt to do the same, and on this #roadtrip, I stopped in Ojai over the weekend just to thank the foundation for Krishnamurti’s inspiration. By accident, what unfolded was beyond my wildest expectations. I met Krishnamurti��s cook while he was still alive, and he gave me his personal information to keep him abreast of my journeys, and I met someone else at the foundation who lived in Japan, who’s going to provide me helpful information when I stay in Japan to witness #skateboarding as an #Olympic event.

Took some time this afternoon to donate blood platelets for the American Red Cross, and got to watch a couple episodes of one of my favorite documentaries called “The Power of Myth” featuring Joseph Campbell. . Things like this documentary, and certain books I’ll watch and read multiple times, seeing if I can discover or glean something new or differently than I did before. . Especially where personal growth is concerned, I have found this to be a very productive practise. Human psychology and spirituality are or particular interest to me anyhow. . The information presented never changes, but the condition you are in DOES change. Hence you can have a new or different experience and new takeaways. . Never stop learning, especially about yourself. You’re a part of the rest of us after all. . #josephcampbell @josephcampbellfoundation #powerofmyth #mythology #herosjourney #inquirewithin #selfdiscovery #bestillandknow #spirituality #meditation #changeyourself #changetheworld (at The American Red Cross) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGsyYGlPvT/?igshid=epz7mxtbm1wt

SIDDHIS Y RIDDHIS 23 Y entrando él en la barca, sus discípulos le siguieron. 24 Y he aquí que se levantó en el mar una tempestad tan grande que las olas cubrían la barca; pero él dormía. 25 Y vinieron sus discípulos y le despertaron, diciendo: ¡Señor, sálvanos, que perecemos! 26 Él les dijo: ¿Por qué teméis, hombres de poca fe? Entonces, levantándose, reprendió a los vientos y al mar; y se hizo grande bonanza. 27 Y los hombres se maravillaron, diciendo: ¿Qué hombre es este, que aun los vientos y el mar le obedecen? Mateo 8:23-27 Reina-Valera 1960 Siddhi es un término sánscrito que significa ‘perfección’, ‘logro’ o ‘éxito’.[1]​ Los siddhis son poderes, habilidades y logros materiales, paranormales, sobrenaturales o mágicos que son producto del avance yóguico a través de sādhanās como la meditación y el yoga. El término ṛddhi (Pali: iddhi, "poderes psíquicos") se usa a menudo indistintamente en el budismo. #heroe #héroedeiluminación #conciencia #Yoga #Meditación #Meditacion #Santidad #mitologia #Individualización #Epica #Epopeya #Triunfo #Espiritualidad #Integración #Liderazgo #Iluminación #iluminacion #josephcampbell #josephcampbellfoundation #liberacion #liberación https://www.instagram.com/p/CdxpKCbu98x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

LA LANZA DE LONGINO Este Documental es sumamente interesante sobre la Historia de la que se presume fue la Lanza que traspasó el Costado de Cristo durante la Crucifixión EL MOLDE DE UNA LEYENDA "Sino que uno de los soldados atravesó con una lanza el costado y al instante salió sangre y agua." El que lo vió da testimonio y su testimonio es verdadero; el sabe que dice verdad para que vosotros creías; porque todo esto sucedió para que se cumpliese la escritura <<No romperéis ni uno de sus huesos>>, Y otra escritura dice también <<Mirarán al que traspasaron>> Evangelio según San Juan 19,34-37 https://youtu.be/MxEDB-Edfak #heroe #héroedeiluminación #conciencia #Yoga #Meditación #Meditacion #Santidad #mitologia #Individualización #Epica #Epopeya #Triunfo #Espiritualidad #Integración #Liderazgo #Iluminación #iluminacion #josephcampbell #josephcampbellfoundation #liberacion #liberación #arquetipo https://www.instagram.com/p/CcQmek-p7if/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
