The Joseph Campbell Foundation is making Sukhavati - Place of Bliss downloadable for free as in DivX format. However due to a exclusive licensing deal they have signed with PBS it will soon be removed again, for at least the next 3 years. From the email update:
"Because of this impending exclusive license to Sukhavati, we will be releasing one new segment per week until all the segments have been made available for one final round. This offer will be active from June 27 through the beginning of August. At that point, these segments will be removed for at least the duration of the license with PBS."
This, along with other Joseph Campbell works, are well worth watching (or reading) if you are interested in comparative mythology, and it's connection with spirituality and psychology. And for the price (free!) it can't be beat...
The JCF website has this to say about Sukhavati:
"The renowned mythologist and deep spiritual thinker, Joseph Campbell, takes us on a journey through the ages. He traces the mythological symbols left to us by the ancients and reveals a drama layed out across the screen of the universe. Primal mythological images, filmed around the world, evoke a sense of the experience as well as the spirit of the great story that so excited Joe. He reminds us that the human soul has always walked the same path in search f the place of bliss. This is a journey of transcendence and illumination."
