Description: Joseph Campbell's concept of monomyth (one myth) refers to the theory that sees all mythic narratives as variations of a single great story regardless of their origin or time of creation. Campbell called it “The Hero’s Journey.” A story of a man or woman, who through great suffering, reached an experience of the eternal source and returned home with gifts powerful enough to set their society free. “I don’t believe that people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.” - Joseph Campbell The hero's journey was first described in Campbell’s book: The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949) and became a bestseller, with a particular impact on George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars and he has credited the book with shaping his thoughts about the saga and Luke Skywalker's thrilling adventures follow almost every stage laid out by the hero's journey. What Joseph Campbell referred to as "the calling" is usually bad news of some kind. Something goes wrong in your life. It could be anything from a divorce, to financial problems or an illness. In a collective community, it could be a natural disaster, or a pandemic of some kind. Something happens that makes us realize that we need to go looking for new answers. The movie the Matrix is a great example of The Hero's Journey. Neo is guided to follow the white rabbit which inevitably leads him into his own hero’s journey. Neo finds out the hard way that he is the chosen one to save the world from the evil A.I. controlled Matrix system. Gnosticism has the idea of a Demiurge, a demigod who created the flawed Matrix system in which we try to find ourselves, while a higher truth of knowledge and way of being exists beyond that structure. The Gnostics also emphasized knowledge as the key to spirituality and paint ignorance as humankind's major obstacle. “You must be willing to get rid of the life we planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” ~ Joseph Campbell The movie The Truman Show in particular relates to many people who are awake seeking the truth, because sometimes it feels like we are living in a movie set and we are surrounded by actors. “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.” ~ William Shakespeare. Mythical stories are the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation. For the symbols of mythology are not manufactured; they cannot be ordered, invented, or permanently suppressed. They are spontaneous productions of the psyche, and each bears within it, undamaged, the germ power of its source. It is the realm that we enter in sleep. We carry it within ourselves forever. When you hear the calling, you embark on an adventure that might take you away from your ordinary life, where you will cross a threshold into a place you have not been before. There will be companions, allies, mentors, and opponents. There will be obstacles that you need to face and there might be a good deal of suffering, but that is what’s necessary in order for you to realize what needs to be done. Being the hero of your journey is something that we all must face at some point in our lives and it is completely up to you to accept your mission. It is where you have to make a choice in life to face your fears, take a stand for what you believe in and conquer the serpent with you. It is the beginning of what could only ever be, the greatest adventure of them all; it is the story of all stories, it is the Hero’s journey of YOU.
