It's a breath of fresh air to have somebody reclaim Joseph Campbell's legacy from the bastardized forms that orbit JP, Thiel, and other reactionary figures.
I realized a while ago that much of life is just storytelling, we are all making this shit up as we go along. Happy I stumbled upon this post, I agree with every word of it. The right are winning because they tell a unified story of good vs evil and never waver from it. Its bullshit, but their consistency and repetition sways people over time all the same. You tell the lie often enough and weak minded people will start to believe it. They bought up all the media to ensure news and reality is always framed on their terms as well, further distorting peoples perceptions.
Wonderful, deep, poetic but above all deeply insightful, wise and compassionate and therefore very powerful! Here is a resource such an alliance would need:

Gods, I needed this. Thank you for sharing it. I'm linking it to some of the progressive folks I know.
It also reminds me of my favorite Terry Pratchett quote from "A Hat Full of Sky,"
"There's always a story. It's all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything's got a story in it. Change the story, change the world."
