The Virgin Birth 

I have to say, that I felt watching "The Power of Myth" when if first broadcast, that my life was changed. I felt I had just sat at the foot of "the Master of Wisdom". Joe Campbell explained so many things and helped me think about life in a new way. Thank you Joe.

Everybody should be watching this. Netflix has a full series

Joseph Campbell was one of my heroes. Brilliant, compassionate and honorable

it's mesmerizing to watch him speak about both western and eastern spirituality, religion and mythology... his comprehensive depth of the subject is marvel to behold.

I'm almost finished reading The Hero of Thousand Faces. This book along with so much more of Joseph Campbell's work has connected so many dots in my understanding of religions and the meanings associated with mythology.

2020 has given us vision so that as a collective, mankind can prepare for its virgin birth. It is my hope. In the meantime, I will keep working on myself, keep improving out of love for others.

I like how this channel releases new Joseph Campbell clips every 5 years. It's nice to see you guys keeping the content flowing. AHAHAHA

I could listen to Joseph all day. His understanding of wisdom creating knowledge, yeah all day......

In school the teacher would ask the class, “what’s the meaning of the story?”. Stories are powerful as they pass down information using symbolism.

Thank you Campbell Foundation for posting! We were needing these contents more than ever.

I just came across the Campbell Foundation about a week ago...im so grateful I did. Thank you all...love and light!😉

This was beautiful. Thank you for posting it.

What a unique man this guy was .the way he explains these things all ways makes me want to keep listening instead of me usual thinking yeah yeah I've heard it all before.

2:33 ...Its you.

Thank you Professor Campbell. Hats off to Your Timeless Wisdom. J.C. ❤️

I miss this man. RIP Guru Campbell

I would have to say, that when one really gets Joe Campbell, one realizes its not under discussion anymore... ✌💛

Amazing explanations. I have been researching the chakra system with my work and this is such a great way of describing it. Joseph Campbell is an amazing speaker. He really puts aspects into light so simply they are easy to understand. Because human beings are being coerced into just seeking pleasure in todays world, we are being help in the lower three centres, or chakras, and this is a problem. When you try to speak to people about higher concepts that the lower three chakras, they think you are a crazy man. Times are changing rapidly and this knowledge seems to be spreading like wildfire, which is amazing. Thanks to Joseph and all his research as he breaks all this down so well. Thank you so much for sharing. I am grateful. :)

Being Born AS a Spiritual being at the Center of your Heart, Into a Person of compassion and Love to the Next one!This is what the parthogenesis means! What an extraordinary intellgent explanation, thank you so much!

Everytime I listen to him, I learn a lot....

I remember back when I was about 3 years old I saw a pregnant woman down in Stoughton, Massachusetts. Back then I thought women just had virgin births when they were about 14 years old. There was an old teacher Mrs. Carter at North Elementary School. This was at the BPM in Stoughton, Massachusetts. The look on her face was profoundly overjoyed when she looked at my mom. I thought the children in the wonb were made of light and they passed harmlessly through the woman's body when the time was right.

Holy f this is such good stuff. How did we not get taught this? I would have liked religion much better.

If I see another video like this, I symbolically will warn myself that there is a lot of people out there that symbolically, are not on the ball, and could use, symbolically, a lesson on symbolism.

Now always remember this guy was in George Lucas’ own word a major mentor to him, when you watch Star Wars the next time.

He hit the nail on the head here. 🙏

Im a Bible believing Christian and I find Campbell's analysis of Virginia Birth fascinating.

if you understand and accept this congratulations brethren ❤️

What he described happened to me. It's the same as what happens when you actually die.

I love you Professor Campbell. Thank you!

Where can I watch the whole "The Power of Myth"?

Never understood why so many humans looked at virginity as a negative thing its the most valuable gift given to us all just once so my advice to anyone who's a virgin is to hold on to your virginity until you meet your life-long partner giving it to someone undeserving will be a lifetime regret. Do you think there's going to be any future great philosophers from this year 2021? Just take a look at what most of our future humans aspire to be and ask people from the age 12 to 21 and they want to be either like the Kardashians or a basketball player or a famous social media influencer its looking pretty bleak.

This is the answer - why we are here - what should my life’s purpose be.. etc etc

I thought the story of adam eating the apple was supposed to be the allegory or man's awakening into a higher level consciousness....

It wasn't a woo woo conspiracy theory thing...it was listen man, I found Power. I found me. This is what it all means.

Disjointed, hacked up, out of context bits and pieces of Campbell"s message? The world needs, for example, the full Moyer / Campbell interviews uncut, But this foumdation is instead hacking Campbell's core messages up into tiny little disjointed hacked up bits and pieces. They are doing that as teasers to commercially monetize Campbel's work. The very nature of Campell's works must remain freely available, intact, in context, and sui- generis on a "giving foot forward" monetization model, which primarily is not the JC Foundation monetization model. Does this greedy foundation have copyrights on these works? Why can't anyone post these works up on IE. You Tube etc. free uncut unedited? For instance the full uncut Campbel / Moyers series. Why is Moyer not acting to counter this outrage? How to obtain these works intact & unedited now like when Campbell was alive without profiteering? That would be Campbell's will. The Campbell Foundation, in the guise of proliferating Campbell's body of work, is instead fragmenting it for commercial monetary motives. So aggravating! Seriously any effort to keep Campbell's work free, and free of being hacked up, and free of being exploited by the world system, then count us in. Metaphorically speaking: God was out for a stroll one day with the devil following along & imitating God. God was carrying something "he" had picked up along the way. The devil runs up and asks. "whatcha got there God?" God replies, "I got the truth." The devil then says," give it to me & I will organize it for you!". JC Foundation you need to stop "money changing on the temple steps".

The Virgin Birth// Kundalini awakening.🕊️

It's extremely doubtful that the concept of the virgin birth of Jesus by way of a "fourth chakra" was understood by early Christians in anything like the manner that Campbell outlines -- even among the groups that promoted the doctrine of the virgin birth. And not all sects did so. The Ebionites and Marcionites, for example, did not. The virgin birth is implied only in Matthew and Luke, and those books did not appear until the end of the first century. Paul never mentions that Jesus was born of a virgin. And he clearly would have mentioned it if he had believed it to be so.

I love this... Blessings

guy is off his rocker

Thank you.

Fascinating.

If you say, that the relationship to God/Spirit is the deepest you have, many people think that you have sexual problems. Isn't that crazy? All twisted. Golden...I liked that. 🔥🕯️

Incarnation vs incarceration. Pretty big misspelling.

Joesph Campbell is spot on I have experienced every aspect of what he has explained. But the second centre is more associated with the prostrate (orgasm) as opposed to the penis (ejaculation).

Wonderful

Did you know that some Catholics believe that the Virgin Birth of Jesus was like Light passing through a Stained Glass Window? According to Roman Catholic thought, the Virgin Mary remained a virgin forever and remains so, even Assumed into Heaven. ❤

Campbell with yet another conglomeration of woo-woo

incredible

Dear Foundation, Careful if you keep listening to the person that tells you not to upload more content and longer time length. You might make money!

I was born 9/5/1987 at 6:38am. That's within the last known record of us being within the constellation of Virgo in the zodiac, specifically "The House of Bread" area, aka "Bethlehem" in Arabic. "Born of a virgin in Bethlehem". It's referring to the specific time in the Zodiac sign for the birth of the Christ. It's astrology. Very common back then. Not some miraculous conception impossibility on the biological level.

It's better to tell the truth. When you tell one lie, You must lie forever to prove the credibility of that lie. 😂

The serpent is the Kundalini. The dormant potential.

word

What a brilliant explanation! Especially the way Campbell brings in both Christian and Hindu religion to explain the difference between the animal "pelvic basin" nature and the heart, human nature. So the Virgin Birth can be thought of as the emergence of the heart of human compassion but without depending on the purely animal nature - aggression, consumption, lack of compassion - all the stuff that are symbolized not only by Satan but also by those who mocked and crucified Jesus.

... To be halfway decent people, we really don't need to be beat over the head with any kind of regimented hierarchical bureaucratic dogmatic religion. We simply have to be brought up to know right from wrong. To know good from bad. This is an easy and natural way to bring up a loving compassionate and strong child.

Amen.

The more I listen the more I don’t understand

"when you are awakened at the level of the ❤️" No truer words were ever spoken. I'd like to go into detail but., actually I don't. There are phenomena playing out along one's thread of awareness, whose life/lives is/are simultaneously playing out across numerous realms of refinement all at once. Over the last five years I've had a green crystal crammed into my soul (by an older obese version of one of the girls I attended elementary school with 500 moons ago) and more recently a blue crystal was ripped out of my soul by my supposed "guardian angel!" *scoff* All because I was too high to respond intelligebly to his dialogue when he was adorned in the body of Groot while sitting in a darkened diner that sat beneath a red violent sky whose view was mainly taken up by a very large broad black spaceship(?) which had a suction hose emanating from it that ended in a trough which was where he threw the blue crystals he ripped out of my back. I was able to chase it down, but I ended up going through it into an eternal blue sunlit sky., before waking up., even though I really wasn't asleep but was rather in a twilight sleep. I was aware I was in bed but I was also aware I had control over how I wanted my silver surfer type body to behave Except for the part of being unable to carry on a conversation. Also, while inside of that ship before entering through the portal of my subdivided soul, I surprised a huge, humongous demon head whose face was taking shape through clouds that were rushing inwards. Its head briefly reared back as if I had disturbed its assemblage/meditation. I just gave it a cursory glance as I momentarily stopped before resuming my chase.

Very cute how he dodged talking about the patriarchy in this one

Wow !!!!!

Someone asked what Isaiah 9:6 was about... here is the verse - with explanation below. Isaiah 9:6 (NIV) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Explaination: INSIDE of a person is a 'woman' - the 'one flesh' that God 'created' (NOT the 'man' that LORD GOD 'formed', then separated, and advised should be joined BACK together again, as what GOD has 'joined together' let man not separate). As GOD created man as MALE AND FEMALE, created them 'he' - and called their name... 'Adam'. God's creation of man was 'androgynous' or 'male AND female'. And thus... it is what COMES OUT of a MAN that defiles him. Thus... one should be able to see 'the WOMAN' of Revelation 12. IF this 'woman' inside of you does what is GOOD in the eyes of GOD, the FRUIT of that choice is then 'male' - and acceptable to GOD and taken into HEAVEN. BUT... if the 'woman' inside of you does what is EVIL in the eyes of GOD, the FRUIT is then a 'female', 'daughter of man', and another 'woman' or 'seed bearer'... which is then another 'opportunity' for something to come of it, but then it is NOT a 'first fruit' and NOT ACCEPTABLE to GOD. THIS is also (spiritually)... the 'VIRGIN BIRTH' as it DOES NOT require 'physical union' to produce FRUIT, or to say... THE WORD MADE (into) FLESH. This is what Jesus was referring to when He spoke with Nicodemus... or being BORN of WATER & SPIRIT, and also what is referred to with Mary (Jesus mother) AND ALSO, why Jesus is called - 'the Word', as it is the COMMAND of GOD through which everything that has been made or will ever BE MADE... is made. Note that the daughters of man, became 'evil' spirits upon the earth... and thus 'spirit give birth to spirt' is then true. Flesh gives birth to flesh is simple to understand - as this is an 'earthly thing' vs. and lacks the complexities of 'heavenly things'.

Oh my goodness...

The famous Virgin Birth stems from an early mistranslation of the original text, (for virgin, read young girl). Since the whole point of Christ´s lineage was his descent from David, he had to have an earthly father -- which rather demolishes the idea of parthenogenesis, along with Mr Campbell´s notion that it is any more a metaphor for enlightenment than the weather forecast.

It's "incarnation", not "incarceration" as the subtitles say.

To what degree are these ideas objective, supported by empirically proven truth?

Many things happen with JESUS birth,one mary knew that she would have to another her son at his death,for our sins and Joseph must have known that he would have to die,so Jesus would start his ministry, for our forgiveness

Or a Hebrew term in Isaiah was mistranslated to "virgin" instead of "young woman"

Joe please........ 😮

Getting reborn.God it. - +

Nice to see Donald Rumsfeld in a different role.

🧐

He does get confusing for a moment. I think everyone who believes Jesus was born knows that Mary obviously got pregnant (maybe a Roman guard raped her who knows...in those days women would be stoned to death for being raped) But what he is talking about transcends the idea of that story.. Hes saying the story that became the virgin birth story, is different than the story of the real jesus (if there was a man name Jesus). SO What he (i believe) is saying is anyone can become 'that' person, if you transcend the animal instincts, and it happens at different points and events, ages in peoples lives. You awake to the suffering and feel compassion for what happens all around us constantly in the human world

Pretty simple. ✌❤☀

If Westerners weren't Christian Jesus would have just looked like another Guru to them and they'd think nothing of it.

holy shit

From a talk by Osho There are a few points to be understood. One: Jesus can be born only out of a virgin woman. But remember, virginity has nothing to do with celibacy -- not, at least, for me. Virginity is something immensely different. Don't reduce it to sex. Sex can be virgin, and celibacy may not be virgin. Things are very complicated. If a man is celibate and thinks constantly of sex, he is not virgin. On the other hand, if a man makes love to a woman, or the woman makes love to a man, and there is no thought of sex -- no sexuality in the head, no cerebral sex -- it is virgin. Virgin means pure. Virgin means uncontaminated. Virgin means spontaneous. Virgin means simple, innocent. Now, sex is not the problem. Sexuality is the problem. There are people who are continuously thinking of sex. And the more you try to enforce some celibacy on yourself -- you become a nun or a monk -- the more you think of sex. In fact, then you don't think about anything else, you only think of sex because that is your starved part. It takes revenge, it becomes very aggressive. It comes again and again, bubbles up, surfaces in the head. And you go on doing prayer to keep it repressed, and you go on doing this and that -- a thousand and one things. But whenever there is rest, it is there. You go to sleep and it is there. It becomes your dream, it becomes your fantasy. If you repress it too much, then it starts coming in different symbols. They may not be sexual on the surface but deep down they are sexual. Sexuality means that sex has entered into the head, but why has sex entered into the head in the first place? It enters into the head if you repress it. Anything repressed enters into the head. Try for three days: go on a fast, and food will enter into the head. For seven days don't take a bath... I am not talking about hippies. If you are a hippy, then this won't do. For seven days don't take a bath, and that will enter in your head. For three, four days don't sleep, and that will enter in your head. And then you will be continuously thinking of sleep, sleep will be continuously coming and you will be yawning. Whatsoever is starved enters into the head. And when something enters into the head your whole being becomes polluted with it. By 'virginity', I mean that Mary must have been in a very very non-sexual state. She must have been a very innocent woman. She must not have been thinking about sex; she must have made love, but that love was innocent. There was no idea in it: mind was not interfering. It was completely uncontaminated by the mind, uninterfered with by the mind. That's what we in Tantra say real love is. You meet a woman, you don't think about sex at all. Only pathological people think about sex, healthy people don't think about sex. There is no need. You enjoy the beauty of the woman -- her face, her eyes, her proportion -- you are simply thrilled by her being. There is no idea to do anything to her, there is no idea to exploit, there is no idea to possess. You are immensely interested, but very innocently. There is no planning in your mind, there is no future, then it is a virgin relationship. One day love can happen. One day listening to music, dancing together, love can possess you both: you can make love to each together. But even while making love, there is no idea -- there is no mind in it. It is innocent of mind, then it is a virgin relationship. If you ask me, then this is what I mean by 'virgin'. Jesus cannot be born in the way Christians say -- that is absurd, stupid. But why do they say that he was born out of a virgin mother? They are too obsessed with sex, and to them it seems degrading that Jesus should come out of sex, out of an ordinary love relationship. That looks very very disturbing to them... and coming through the ordinary passage of sex? No, that is not possible. If Jesus can come through sex, then how will they condemn sex? Then how will they tell their nuns and their monks 'Don't ever go into sex. It is ugly, it is the greatest sin there is!'? (But ) if Jesus himself enters into the world through natural love, it will be difficult to condemn."

Mary was 12 Joseph was 86

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 God dam it Don’t tell them too much They just might figure it all out 😂 Lol. Is considered to be everything

#Cicada3301 #SevensExposed Unraveling

💯💚🤝👑

..praises wish your message had gotten to Israel sooner

Great teachings, may i add that virgin is asociated with virtue, and that chastity or tantric sex ( preserving sexual energy) is a must for this, refered as Inmaculate conception (no orgasm or eyaculation in sex)

Interviewer:"But Christ came the way you and I come". Joseph: "Yes, but of a virgin". Why does he say that after stating it was a spiritual birth

This is so sad

At 2:35 it's not about "Humanity" its about the "Power of Light" 💙 "BioPhotons". Humans are dominated by these! Electric(God/Male/Spiritual) & Magnetism(Mary/Female/Matter) births Electromagnetism (Christ)

It’s patriarchal, come on Campbell, what, the Buddha is female?

This is way more compelling than christian dogma LOL

No

Mixing the truth with falsehood.

I can’t seem to make the connection at all, what does growth and transformation have to do with a virgin birth, seriously? Female virgins are so glorified and male virgins are belittled throughout these mythological stories, it’s sounds repulsive not transformative to me. It’s also inherently disrespectful to mature women who have done the work.

I know that we are co-creators and we came from the big bang (God). Mary (Jesus's mother) was raped by a Roman solider and had a hard time with wanting the child. She was told by a angel that she was to go through the nine months of her pregnancy and give birth to Jesus. The catholic church has spread misinformation for years and Jesus said that he was not born in a stable either. He said it was a nice story, but the birth was were they lived. Jesus tried to help people get off the wheel of Karma. This is what we are suppose to be doing now, love each other, stop fearing all the time and manifest your dream life. Its a very simple concept, yet people forget that they are infinite being and we have the power within us, we just don't us it!

Read Hindu texts and scriptures and your way of looking at all religions will change for better. You will start seeing REAL depth that isn't there and the meanings that aren't written or can be inferred.

I don't get it. Was he really born to a virgin or not?

Alien artificial insemination-technology leads to enlightenment.

premise of the Bible The Bible contains the mind of God (I AM) the state (of consciousness) of men.

I look forward to the day when humans can embody the compassion of animals.

Buddhism, which comes from Hinduism, has done wonderful things for India, hasn't it.

A lot of Rabbi's blow a gasket over Mary giving birth to Jesus but they are alright with a virgin red heifer. I think the main problem is being taught in the traditions of their Father's who didn't understand the story in the first place so they wrote their own books based on their beliefs and opinions which led them to where they are today. Just as lost and confused as they've always been too stubborn to admit they need help. They want to believe it's everybody else but them that has mental problems. Personally I couldn't care less what they believe as long as they don't claim it's their right to impose their beliefs and opinions on other people.
