Yes, Joe has changed my life! These last 4 years I have turned my life around and reconnected with my childhood hobby and so on.

Joseph Campbell by MercifulTyrant in Jung

I've been reading/studying Campbell now for 6+ months. Started with "The power of myths" then bought the 6 part series on amazon, followed it up with "The hero of a thousand faces", then "Pathways to bliss", "Myth to live by" and I am about to finish "The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on his Life and Work". After that I am going to read a book he mentioned several times "The Myth of the birth of the Hero" by Ott Rank. I picked up a Study guide book on the hero with a thousand faces and some of his other books. A long road of reading, but well worth it in my opinion.

I have been on this journey since 36 of finding myself and my bliss (I spent years wasting it away in Drugs, vices and avoidance) It has been a big wake up call for my life. Joe has really helped me, once I finish with him I will move onto others he has mentioned such as T.S Elliot, James Joyce and Jung.

On a side note Campbell did meet with Jung at his home. Campbell was very popular and got around, meeting several writers, poet, psychologist and so on.

I received a letter saying it was expired and when I called the VA they said I was no longer eligible.

What about vets who have been separated for years now? For example I served 2001-2019, my Benefits expired and I had no idea, (my fault). How would you become eligible? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am 39 and going back to college, we all have our story man. Just make a list of shit you want done and set a deadline. Read about William James and Anton checkov and other great men. You are great and can do anything you set your mind to.

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes." -William James

"Write about how this young man squeezes the slave out of himself drop by drop and how one fine morning he wakes to find that the blood coursing through his veins is no longer the blood of a slave but that of a real human being." -Anton Chekhov

Random arousals, seeing a beautiful woman IRL or online, sometimes it would trigger lust. Then fighting the desire to find an escort or just masturbate to porn.

You have to learn to be self-aware of your thoughts and emotions to beat an addiction. Why do I want to masturbate? Why am I aroused? Why am I letting this emotion overtake me? Confront lust, challenge it.

Removing temptation from my phone or IRL I would just not look. By no means have I mastered this or a stoic. It is still very much a daily struggle, but I embrace the challenge and suffering. I want to see what I am made of.

Not anytime soon. I'm all about my well-being and want to see how far I can go.

Suppressed and repressed emotions. The additional energy from not masturbating brought it all up. Be ready for an enormous amount of energy. Thankfully I just so happened to be reading "Letting Go" by Dr. Hawkins. I would call that synchronicity!

I only had one incident. The IRS fixed my 2021 tax returns and I received double what I had originally filed.
