August’s Harvest: A CALL TO ADVENTURE
According to Joseph Campbell, the myths of a HERO’s JOURNEY provide a broad view of healing.
Whether the witch, the king, martyr, mystic, wanderer or child —- the big bad wolf, Frodo, Dorothy & Toto with her entourage: scarecrow, tin man, lion—-
THE HERO LEAVES HOME, crossing the threshold OUT of what is FAMILIAR:
Crossing OUT of what is familiar
there are unexpected helpers
tasks and/or obstacles to overcome (dragon?), to overcome CHANGES, knowing life’s choices
make a SACRIFICE, SURRENDERING WHAT IS, getting brought through this change with HELP
meets a ‘supreme being’, an essence of SELF (Inner strength knowing/guidance/trust/faith)
RETURNS HOME with a GIFT, a healing or legacy
What if we can recognize our life journey and all the good, the bad and the ugly,
AS EXPERIENCES OF HEALING: with the obstacles important for our growth —- maturity, lessons learned, wisdom, spiritual ascension??? What ever word speaks to you DEEP INSIDE.
These challenges are for our SOUL GROWTH —- becoming aware and awaken and be conscious that nothing is insurmountable.
The CALL to ‘surrender’, to yield or give way to WHAT IS
IS the HEALING.
Things are not always as they seem. New choices, different choices in how one responds to the present “WHAT IS” is necessary —— VITAL.
In this situation: I am feeling ___?___
I would rather feel ___?___.
What is the level of commitment to SELF…there’s more to know.
ONLY HERO WANT-TO-BE’s SIGN UP FOR SOMETHING. For SELF. You’s are not alone.
