There is no John Bucher video in which I don't simultaneously feel lifted up to the clouds and my ego smashed to bits on the ground. This is a good thing.

I think it's bullshit. Even on a metaphorical level it doesn't work. Your child self has to die so your adult can live and become like a child again? What for? To re-experience wonder and delight at the newness of things? It's only gonna fossilize and curdle like it did the LAST time! And if you're a child again, why did you have to leave the first child state behind? It's bullshit cyclical system apologia sophistry.

Great thoughts expressed by your guest. I'm an older aspiring writer, but still working on my craft. Whether or not I ever write my masterpiece, I'm still trying to enjoy the journey. Loved his references to Joseph Campbell and fairy tales, which I still enjoy reading in my 60's. You're a great interviewer, and I appreciate your content. Keep up the good work.

He gave a view on fairy tales I'd never heard before. Come to think of it, he says a *lot* if things I've never heard before! And as a fellow yet-to-be-published author, I also wanted to say 'hi'.

The concept of "killing the boy" ties in directly with the ideas of Jungian psychology. In the book "King, Warrior, Magician, Lover", a dissertation on Jungian archetype theory from 1990, the thought is presented that the old world practice of male initiation, where young boys were symbolically killed (typically by enduring physical hardship or direct pain) and 'reborn' as men, were a key part of psychologically building a masculine ideal within the child that would carry them through life with an understanding and fearlessness towards maturity. It then goes on to break down the 4 sets of archetypes that are separated into mature and immature masculine traits. The most interesting idea it sets forth is that the negative masculine idea, the 'patriarchy' of modern social discourse, is in reality a manifestation of unabashed negative masculine traits, rather than the proliferation of the more difficult positive traits; that we are experiencing an immaturity crisis rather than anything directly related to the sexes. Read deeper into fairytales, and you start to see the same message. Bucher is a captivating guest. I can't wait to see the rest of the interview.

I always wanted to see a fairy tale where the "monster" or foe stalking a village that the new herotagonist (hands off I'm keeping that word) has to fight in his rite of passage turns out to be a former herotagonist who was broken by his trial and turned into a dark, violent, murderous fiend trying to get revenge on the people who betrayed him.

I never thought about Joseph Campbell in this light so I appreciate the fresh perspective. Also, the very end was something that I truly needed to hear. I know the little girl in me has to die. I just wouldn't let it happen because I didn't want her childhood, her existence to be invalidated, to be in vain. Knowing that the little girl can live through my blissful newness of fresh relationships, fresh endeavors and fresh experiences has brought me peace in this moment of Satori. Thank you!

It’s good that you inserted that GOT scene, which conveys the powerful message “growing up” as being discussed. That scene was very important to me, and your dialogue reinforces the meaning of ‘letting the boy die so that the man can live’. Thank you for this episode.

The only useful content of the creative writing course in the 90's I did was Joseph Campbell. My tutor hated my writing although my theoretical work was first class. My creative work has been prophetic as it turns out. Quitting my day job is a matter of living and soul death. I'm going in.

I really really like this guy. So rare to find such people! Btw did you know that the brother grimm tales are not tales at all but warnings? Back in the good old days there often was famine and what some people used to do was lure kids with sweets into their home and... eat them.

Funny how fear of failure has such a paralizing effect. Especially if you do actually fail. Still, that's something most of us have to get past in order to get anywhere. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9BdfLCbt7HWYnk.html
