The Heros Journey
- The Call
- Pattern of all human experience and is expressed in all literature and film
- Similar to the Rite of Passage, the Heros Journey involves a Separation, Transformation and Return
- Usually the Heros Journey follows a standard sequence.
- Realization of imbalance, call to adventure. May accept of deny.
- Rejecting the call will not make it go away.
- The Threshold
- Jumping off point, known to unknown
- Threshold Guardians - try to keep initiate from the adventure - to pass the guardian is to make a comitment
- Helpers - provide assistance in direction - the Mentor is the most important helper. Helpers may appear through the journey.
- The mentor keeps the initiate focused and gives stability
- Challenges and Temptations
- Physical or mental unknown, deeper the unknown the more danger the initiate faces
- Challenges grow in difficulty, forcing change and growth
- Strikes the initiates greatest weakness or fear, this must be faced before the journey ends
- Abyss
- The greatest challenge, the initiate overcomes their greatest fear alone.
- "Slay the Dragon" Often takes the shape of something dreaded that needs resolving
- Transformation
- Change in behaviour since the beginning
- FINAL STEP OF DEATH AND REBIRTH: Fear must die for courage, ignorance
must die for enlightenment and dependancy must die for inependance
- Similar to the Rite of Passage
- Revelation
- A sudden and dramatic change in the way of thinking
- Often during abyss but may lead to the abyss
- The Atonment
- The initiate is at one with their new self, in harmony with
the world and their life
- Imbalance is corrected until next call
- Receives of becomes aware of new gift
- Return
- The initiates return to everyday life, now contributes to
the society
- May return and be rejected. Runs the risk of loosing their new
understanding. May start to feel disillusioned and leave the
society.
- ITS A MAP
- A result of ancient mythology and is
still with us today.
- The basis of most fictional stories,
- a reflection of real life
