Ep. 110

In this episode, Brynn Anderson and I listen to a series of interviews with the great.. Joseph Campbell.. An interviewer, Bill Moyers, asks very significant questions that take the listener on a journey through the core concepts that Joseph Campbell is known for. In a one-on-one conversation Joseph breaks down his views on mythology and comparative religion in a humorous, intelligent way. Let's listen to the legend together!


Joseph Campbell Bio:


Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American professor of literature at Sarah Lawrence College who worked in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His work covers many aspects of the human experience. Campbell's best-known work is his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), in which he discusses his theory of the journey of the archetypal hero shared by world mythologies, termed the monomyth.

Since the publication of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell's theories have been applied by a wide variety of modern writers and artists. His philosophy has been summarized by his own often repeated phrase: "Follow your bliss." He gained recognition in Hollywood when George Lucas credited Campbell's work as influencing his Star Wars saga and more.


Brynn Anderson Bio:

    01:10:15||Ep. 237
    In this episode, I talk with Gregory Shushan, Ph.D., the world’s leading authority on near-death experiences (NDEs) and afterlife beliefs across cultures and history.We dive into his incredible new book, Near-Death Experience in Ancient Civilizations: The Origins of the World’s Afterlife Beliefs, exploring how NDEs have shaped religious and spiritual traditions from the dawn of civilization.Shushan takes us on a journey through five ancient world regions—Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, and Mesoamerica—revealing striking similarities in their afterlife beliefs despite having developed independently. Could these parallels point to universal truths about what happens after we die?Drawing from anthropology, psychology, and philosophy, he examines how ancient cultures interpreted near-death experiences and how these interpretations evolved into the foundations of their spiritual traditions.His book serves as a historical record of ancient NDE accounts from around the world, offering a rare glimpse into the firsthand experiences of those who crossed the threshold of death and returned. Through carefully analyzed texts, inscriptions, and oral traditions, Shushan reconstructs the earliest known reports of near-death experiences and their profound impact on ancient societies.We also discuss the implications of his research—what it suggests about consciousness, the afterlife, and the nature of reality itself. Shushan shares his thoughts on the connection between DMT and the death experience, exploring whether the psychedelic molecule acts as a gateway to the same realms encountered in NDEs.

As a companion to last week’s conversation with RAW biographer Gabriel Kennedy, this episode brings us the man himself—unfiltered, razor-sharp, and as mind-expanding as ever.In this talk, Wilson explores the evolving philosophical and intellectual climate of the 2000's era, touching on themes of reality tunnels, cognitive flexibility, and the illusions that shape our perceptions. He delves into the interplay of science and mysticism, the hidden structures of power, and the ways in which language, belief systems, and conspiracy theories warp human consciousness. With his signature wit and profound insight, he challenges us to think beyond our conditioned assumptions and embrace the absurdity of existence with a sense of curiosity and humor.As we listen, Brynn and I reflect on Wilson’s words in real time -taking notes for after the lecture to then unpack the deeper layers of his ideas and their relevance in today’s world. Whether you’re a longtime admirer of RAW or encountering his brilliance for the first time, this episode is an invitation to expand your perception and question the nature of reality itself. Drop In!Robert Anton Wilson Bio:Robert Anton Wilson (born Robert Edward Wilson; January 18, 1932 – January 11, 2007) was an American author, futurist, and self-described agnostic mystic. Recognized within Discordianism as an Episkopos, pope and saint, Wilson helped publicize Discordianism through his writings and interviews.Wilson described his work as an "attempt to break down conditioned associations, to look at the world in a new way, with many models recognized as models or maps, and no one model elevated to the truth". His goal was "to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone but agnosticism about everything."In addition to writing several science-fiction novels, Wilson also wrote non-fiction books on extrasensory perception, mental telepathy, metaphysics, paranormal experiences, conspiracy theory, drugs and what Wilson called "quantum psychology".His "Maybe Logic" inspired the creation of the Maybe Logic Academy.“The Berkeley mob once called Leary and me “the counter-culture of the counter-culture.” I’m some kind of antibody in the New Age movement. My function is to raise the possibility, “Hey, you know, some of this stuff might be bullshit.”
