I'm not denying anything. I'm reinterpreting it in its original anthropological context, rather than taking it as-is from the modern (dumb and retarded) perspective.

Campbell is pretty good reading, although he doesn't really touch upon the more important elements from a philosophical perspective.

I'm not questioning your subjective experience, because for all I know you might be telling what you 100% believe is true.
This however doesn't stand up to scrutiny, and therefore I have entirely no reason to believe you. Unless you can epistemologically demonstrate that your claims are not founded in fallacious interpretations of reality, you're simply missing the point.

>watch some of campbell's lectures
I've read the books. Why would I watch a watered-down lecture?

>On the other hand you are really obsessed on trying to prove your point to us. Why is that?
Posting a bit on the Internet is now obsession? kek'd
It's mostly because I want to be proven wrong. Been doing this for a long time now, and it has been a very fruitful endeavor, especially taking the venture into the anthropological roots of mysticism, ritual, and liminal transcendence.
>Do you really believe you are making world a better place or you just like arguing on the web?
No, I don't. Why would you assume that when it's irrelevant to this exchange?
>I never really needed them. I aim to walk a path of mystic, not a scholar.
What makes you think the two are separate?
The academic is traditionally the one closest to Truth. Of all the mystics and magicians, all of them have the most exquisite educations relative to their culture and society.
Ignoring this is a very, very stupid thing to do. But then, we can't all be successful, can we? :^)
>if you are certain that you cannot manipulate world around you by mind alone why are you on esoteric imageboard?
Are you really that fucking retarded? I said LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE above. Check the fucking sources posted. If you can't bring yourself to read with some fucking comprehension, how the fuck do you expect to achieve anything but doing card tricks?
Just, good luck out there, yeah?
