Speaker 0 (0s): Here we go again. George.
Speaker 1 (18s): Welcome back everybody. You guys doing? You have a good weekend. Have a good morning. Do you have a good night last night? What you guys got going on? Got a good week ahead of you. You looking forward to something. I once heard that the secret to life is having someone to love something to look forward to and something to do. Do you have all three of those things? If you got all three of those things, you should be pretty balanced. I hope you're balanced. I gotta tell ya. I'm really excited to be here with you guys today.
I also got to tell you super thankful for you taking a few moments to hang out with me. I love you guys, and I appreciate it. I've been doing quite a bit of thinking. We did a pretty good series on Terrence McKenna and the archaic revival got a lot of great feedback from it. So I thought that I would stay on a similar pathway. The pathway I've been thinking about is a lot like life's journey. In fact, it's the hero's journey brought to you by our good friend, Joseph Campbell.
I've been reading a lot of Joseph Campbell lately and helps to expand your ideas of where we're going by reading the mythologies of yesterday, regardless of which culture any of us come from. The people that came before us had a rich symbolic history of storytelling. And some of those myths, I think are the key for us to move forward. It seems to me we've lost our way.
It seems to me that a lot of us don't have the right direction. A lot of our leaders have lost their way. A lot of us have lost our way. I think that the way we can find our way back is to look to the past. I want to talk a little bit today about mythology, the behavior and conflict and where we are on that schedule. Maybe where you are on that schedule, how we can find our way back and how maybe you can find your own road back your own spiritual journey, by understanding and reading about the heroes of the past.
We can find new heroes. The truth is we need a hero. And I think that hero resides within you.
Speaker 0 (2m 49s):
Speaker 2 (3m 3s): All right, let's get started.
Speaker 1 (3m 4s): This is all inspired by a good friend, Joseph Campbell, and a lot of what we're going to talk about comes from the book, the power of men. So what is transcendence? Well, according to Campbell, transcendent is a technical philosophical term translated in two different ways. In Christian theology, it refers to God as being beyond or outside the field of nature. That is a materialistic way of talking about the transcendent because God is thought of as a kind of spiritual fact existing, somewhere out there, it was Hagle who spoke of our anthropomorphic God, as the gaseous vertebrate such an idea of God as many Christians hold, or he is thought of a
