Campbell’s most famous book,  The Hero with a Thousand Faces , describes a formula that he called “The Hero’s Journey”. Comparing the Hero’s Journey with the Spiritual Path 1. The Call to Adventure : The protagonist begins in the ordinary world, which could be a village or city in any part of the planet and in any century. He or she then receives a call to adventure. A doorway appears, inviting one to enter an unknown mystical world of strange powers and events, of danger and treasure. The hero who accepts the call must face difficult tasks and trials on the journey to reach the goal. For a spiritualist, the invitation to take initiation is like that. It comes to people at different times in their lives. Often in the past, spiritual initiation was very difficult to obtain―one had to undergo severe tests. Today it is easy; anyone with a sincere desire can learn the basics. However, the tests which follow initiation today are just as hard as in the past. 2. Refusal of the Call : A reluct

So im asked alot what is it and how do you know if you are having one? It looks different for everyone but here are the basic stages and what they may look like. Stage 1: The wake up call! Chaos- Life changing events like death, near death, serious health issues, relationships ending, painful events that ego has no control over. Spontaneously- Not triggered by pain or suffering. Pain free and completely random. Questions start like, there has to be more to life than this. Stage 2: Bliss! usually comes after but not always after your wake up call. You feel connected, you feel alive. You feel excited about life, xtc like high. The heart is starting to awaken and thats why you are feeling all these beautiful emotions. It doesnt last long! New talents or gifts may show up during this stage also. Stage 3: The great Purge! Things that need healing and releasing in this life time, or past life times. The great purge of the ego we can feel depression, despair, anxiety, lost, no direction, can

  My favorite Christmas movie is Its a wonderful life, a classic black and white movie i watched with my grandmother as a child. Lessons in this movie are powerful reminders… It’s not just about us. Other lives matter. We are better, richer, because of other people. When we hurt, we hurt others. When we are in pain, we tend to feel we are suffering alone, but this is never the case. When someone we love hurts – we hurt. We can’t hide our pain from people we love. They know. They may not know how to help or even how to express their concern – at least not in a way we will receive it – but they know – and care. We need community. We really do need people in our life. We never realize this more than when we are in need. (I can’t imagine my life personally without the church.) There is power in cooperation. We can do great things when we work together. I love this quote by Aimee Semple McPherson, “With God, I can do great things! But with God and you, and the people who you can interest, b

  Edger Allen Poe published the poem, raven in 1845. A man so distraught by a loss of his beloved. Trying to keep his mind busy in a book. The raven shows us grief, negativity and depression. You can not run from the thoughts but face them. We are hopelessly depraved and unable to free ourselves from our own bondage of our thoughts. The inability to escape from self-destruction of our own minds. “Take thy beak from out my heart”

  Motivation, what does that really mean? How do we lose it? Where do we get it!? Motivation: (n) 1. The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. 2. The general desire or willingness of someone to do something. Business dictionary- Motivation: Internal and  external factors  that stimulate desire and  energy  in people to be continually interested and committed to a job,  role  or subject, or to make an effort to attain a  goal . Motivation results from the interaction of both conscious and unconscious factors such as the (1) intensity of desire or  need , (2)  incentive  or  reward   value  of the goal, and (3) expectations of the  individual  and of his or her peers. These factors are the reasons one has for behaving a certain way. An example is a student that spends extra time studying for a  test  because he or she wants a better  grade  in the  class . Some words that may help innovate your motivation! Change the way you look at it. Write motivating po

  Sometimes we need to articulate whats going on in our lives with other people, venting. Venting is when you take a negative situation you’re experiencing and you talk about it with someone else with the hopes that maybe can lend you to some insight or some advice, finding the solution to change it ( Contained ). Venting is the opportunity to let off some steam, take the edge off of yourself to think clearly again about the situation, also you share a part of yourself. Repeatedly venting about the same thing is now complaining. Complaining is when you are going thru a hard time and you’re talking about how much you hate it and how it never changes, not looking for a solution but just rehashing it over and over again. Complaining is when you are also bitching about everyone else. 3 options for situations in life we dont like… Change the situation! Change the way we think about the situation. Leave the situation When venting, the ventor will do one of the three options above. The compla

  Imagination isnt what we think, Its how we think. Imagination is situated between our perception and our understanding. We dont see the world the way it is, we see the world according to our experiences. “Our comforting conviction that the world makes sense rests on a secure foundation: our almost unlimited ability to ignore our ignorance.” Our experience of perception are instruments of understanding, that somethings are going to be easy for us to perceive and understand and some of them a bit difficult and some are impossible. We can see things we already know and wont see things that we dont know. believing is seeing or is seeing believing? If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, then it must be a duck right?! Our mind, our imagination will pick out a bit of what we know and fill in the blanks to make the picture. We have this reality, this illusion of objectivity. Sympathetic magic! The law of similarity, like produces like. Like attracts like. Like causes like. How do 2 thi
