Monomyth - Joseph Campbell
Free | Current TV
Posted: 11/2/2011
The Monomyth (often referred to as 'the hero's journey') is a description of a basic pattern found in many narratives from around the world. This universal pattern was described by Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949). A noted scholar of novelist James Joyce, Campbell borrowed the term monomyth from Joyce's Finnegans Wake.
Campbell's insight was that important myths from around the world which have survived for thousands of years, all share a fundamental structure.
In a well-known quote from the introduction to The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell wrote:
? A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.?
The monomyth has influenced a number of artists, musicians, poets, and filmmakers, including Bob Dylan and George Lucas. Mickey Hart, Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead had long noted Campbell's influence and agreed to participate in a seminar with him in 1986 entitled From Ritual to Rapture.
Campbell's work has been consciously applied by a wide variety of modern writers and artists, for example, in creating screenplays for movies. The best known is perhaps George Lucas, who has acknowledged a debt to Campbell regarding both the original Star Wars trilogy and its prequels.

Video story of the Sept 17th 2009 meeting where Joe presented the community to the Mayor.
Nation s first homeless community will house more than 16,000 homeless
Joshua s Community of Southern Nevada will be the first eco-friendly community built specifically for the homeless in the US. The call for $50 million to fund the project has been answered by Greystone Energy BT, a leading sustainable energy company dedicated to making Joshua s Community a self-sustaining property with 24-hour electrical generation plants on site.
With funding and sustainable energy resources in place, Joshua s Community awaits the OK from elected officials and the Bureau of Land Management to release 640 acres of desert land 29 miles north of Las Vegas. In September of 2009 Joshua s Community planner Dr. Joseph D Angelo gained support of city officials, including Mayor Oscar Goodman. He then petitioned federal officials to grant the land, which they are required to do under the McKinney-Vento Act.
Once federal officials release the land, this site will be the model for congressional legislation to amend the McKinney-Vento Act of 1987, Title V for the establishment of Homeless Communities in every state throughout America.
Joshua s Community will be the first fully sustainable, eco-friendly community built specifically for the homeless in the United States, D Angelo said. It will be the example of community development that will save hundreds of thousands of lives throughout the country.
Joshua s Community will produce power at a lower cost of production and operation, and create over one thousand jobs in the community, with or without a federal blessing.
If our federal government does not donate and convey the land requested for the community, per the laws stated in the original submittal, then I am prepared to pay for the land under the Recreation and Public Purpose Act, revised August 1996 as a 501(c)(3), D Angelo said. I am confident this project will move forward and provi

We will also be contacting and interviewing Eagle fan clubs all over the United States. We will travel to six away games to show the time dedication and pride it takes to go to an away game. We will show the personal investments in homes and vehicles that Eagle fans make to show their love for their team. We will interview Eagle s greats and present Eagle players. We will show interviews by current and ex-players showing the fans how they feel about their fans. We will also do a segment on Eagles current and ex player foundations and programs in the community. Not enough people know how munch our players do for the community.
