The Hero’s Journey – Is this archetype running your life?
If you are writing fiction, then the “hero’s journey” makes
for great drama and conflict. Our hero
goes through trial after trial before he finally makes a breakthrough to that
next level or to achieving the goal or finding and bringing home the
treasure. As an archetype this “belief
system” has been around for a long time, and Joseph Campbell has brought it
front and center in his books.
Recently the success of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Cystal Skull shows us just how much we love watching a hero make that journey. In fact, the success of many a blockbuster can be attributed to our love of the Hero's Journey, at least in part.
So why am I writing about this? What do I know about the Hero’s Journey? Short Answer:
I’ve been living it over and over again all my life.
Now for the longer answer to my own questions.
My guidance from the Universe for the West LA Theta Synergy
group was that it was to be about the body and what we think is going on versus what is
really going on. I opened my West LA
Theta Synergy group with the story about how I had created my own cold, and
laryngitis from the fear of catching someone else’s cold. I had been able to clear the first part of
the sore throat completely with Theta, and then, it came back and I heard to
just let it go. So I did. The day I’d cleared my throat, tons of
business started coming in. And then,
the sore throat came back and I realized that I had a tough weekend of
photography ahead of me – and I decided that I was going to do it – no matter
what – voice or not, cold or not.
Whatever it took, I was going to take advantage of this business. And I did.
I had the energy required to do it, thanks to Theta. At this point I also need to admit I’d have
much rather been on the couch resting.
Someone who knows me said to me, “You certainly are being
required to go through a trial by fire.”
I didn’t think much about this comment until my friend Lora spoke up at
the synergy group.
What she said goes something like this. “I know something of your health history, including the time you did major surgery awake, and it seems that you create a Hero’s Journey with respect to your health in order to go to the next level.” Almost immediately I saw it. “Yes.” That’s what happened. So we began to explore how “having to go through trails in order to have what we want” affects our lives not only in our bodies and health, but in every area of our life. Each person in the group found different places where they needed a Hero’s journey scenario in order to get to the “next” level in their growth/success/transformation.
Does the Hero's Journey get played out in your life, over and over again? Does it require some great drama to catapult you to the next level?
