"And here’s where the myths vary enormously from place to place. You can have a whole mythology for polygamy, a whole mythology for monogamy. Either one’s okay. It depends on where you are. It is this sociological function of myth that has taken over in our world — and it is out of date." - #SkywalkerRanchMetaphorUniverse #SkywalkerRanch #Lucas filming. 1987, Age 83

"These stories are making and breaking lives. But the movies are made simply to make money. The kind of responsibility that goes into a priesthood with a ritual is not there. That is one of our problems today." - age 82

Go watch Frankenstein on Netflix. Guillermo, the cast, and crew made a masterpiece.

"And of course what destroys reason is passion. The principal passion in politics is greed. That is what pulls you down. And that’s why we’re on this side instead of the top of the pyramid" #SkywalkerRanch #SkywalkerRanchMetaphorUniverse #GeorgeLucas
Audience education for #StarWars fans, 1988 book
#SkywalkerRanchMetaphorUniverse "when nature is thought of as evil, you don’t put yourself in accord with it, you control it, or try to, and hence the tension, the anxiety, the cutting down of forests, the annihilation of native people. And the accent here separates us from nature." - Summer 1987, age 83 Sarah Lawrence College Professor Joseph Campbell. #SkywalkerRanch #GeorgeLucas lessons for #StarWars fans.

#GullibleUSA
I watched that very popular #StarWars #Andor show - and anyone who knows me knows I talk about #SkywalkerRanch California and age 83 Joseph Campbell / Bill Moyers 1987 interviews #Lucas held.
1. The Empire deceives
2. The Rebels deceive
3. #Gullibility is common to both.

"Now brotherhood in most of the myths I know of is confined to a bounded community. In bounded communities, aggression is projected outward." - #StarWars #SkywalkerRanch 1986 lessons for audiences

"The mystery has been reduced to a set of concepts and ideas, and emphasizing these concepts and ideas can short-circuit the transcendent, connoted experience. An intense experience of mystery is what one has to regard as the ultimate religious experience." - #StarWars #SkywalkerRanch summer of 1986
#MonsterState values
Man should not be in service to kings and society. That is a monster state as defined at #SkywalkerRanch in summer of 1986 by a professor at age 82.
"religious ideas to contemporary life, & to human beings rather than just to their own community. It’s a terrible example of the failure of religion to meet the modern world. These three mythologies are fighting it out. They have #disqualified themselves for the future." - #SkywalkerRanch California
"How many people before #marriage receive spiritual instruction as to what the marriage means? You can stand up in front of a judge and in ten minutes get married. The marriage ceremony in India lasts three days. That couple is glued." - Summer of 1986, #SkywalkerRanch California
I lied! I was able to create one #penandink #drawing at the lake Ewok at #skywalkerranch! I think that’s what it’s called?😆
Enjoy!

George Lucas filmed lessons Lessons for Star Wars audiences George Lucas invited 83 year old professor Skywalker Ranch, California Summer of 1986, Summer of 1987 Lessons to Hollywood audiences Metaphors in science fiction stories Metaphors in Star Wars Metaphors in The Bible BILL MOYERS: Isn’t that why conservative religions today are calling for the old-time religion? JOSEPH CAMPBELL: Yes, and they’re making a terrible mistake. They are going back to something that is vestigial, that doesn’t serve life.

"America has no ethos."
MOYERS: Explain.
CAMPBELL: In American football, for example, the rules are very strict and complex. If you were to go to England, however, you would find that the rugby rules are not that strict.
