7. Moyers acknowledges that regarding the watery unconscious (p47), “I can hear someone saying, “Well, that’s all well and good for the imagination of aGeorge Lucas or for the scholarship of a Joseph Campbell, but that isn’t what happens in my life.”” Is that how you, too, react, or does these ideas resonate with you on a deeper level?

I don’t have a deeper level, but some people might say that George Lucas is a good actor and should stay in the sitcom variety forever. I don’t react to such things because I don’t have a TV with any channels except 4 and my TV will no longer work on a couple months thanks to our dictator.

8. Campbell responds to Moyer’s question about how to slay our inner dragon with the answer: “Follow your bliss” (148). What does that mean? What is that for you, and will it be a risk if you do so?

I would never slay my inner dragon! It is what gives me my fighting power and superior fire breathing ability. I do not have bliss, but I do have dragon eggs floating somewhere around my esophagus ready to be hatched to become powerful fighting creatures.

9. Briefly describe the three transformations of the spirit.

a. When one of the dragon eggs in your esophagus hatches into a powerful fighting creature, you must keep it inside and pickle it with your stomach juice, making it forever dependent to your spirit until you die. This transforms your meek human spirit into a fighting carnivorous masterpiece of victory.

b. Being hit by a water gun filled with acid that will make everyone dissolve and shit their pants. It will make you want to die yourself, even if you are the water gun sniper. The stenches are also unfavorable.

c. Spirit may be transformed when one figures out that spirit does not exist within you, it is actually the incarnation of creatures such as Casper and the Marley Brothers that come back to haunt the earth until you decide to kill them, which, of course, is an impossible physical task due to ghost’s lack of flesh to cut or dissolve, so spirit is not transformed ever, it will always follow you around like a ball and chain that only your inner dragon must burn and destroy.
