Welcome back to another RealityBites! In this bite sized episode we continue to explore the work of this time - the inner work of self exploration
The life long dedication of the spiritual journey and the form it takes in your life
How can we use the challenges, the ups and downs of life to evolve
How to see all of life as being sacred
The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work is a biography of the mythologist Joseph Campbell.
The individuation process we go through
What is the hero's journey? The threshold and the beginning of transformation
Challenges, temptations and setbacks towards a transformation
The process of the known into the unknown and coming back to self
I see the hero’s journey as coming back to self, to wholeness to reclaim those parts of ourselves we have disowned or disconnected from
Wholeness is synonymous with “holiness” a state of being whole
Covered up by our trauma, shame guilt, loss and heartache
Leaning into the discomfort
In some ways the reclamation is coming back to source your divine nature
Its making the unconscious , conscious as Carl Jung said
We cannot separate or fragment our life story in order to truly heal those parts of ourselves we have disowned as being not good enough or dislike
So, can we live our lives in a way that it's all sacred and divine?
To see the hardships, the heartaches the losses as equal to the wins, the success and achievements
When we hold a coin there is no separation between the heads and tales they are one in the same
The ego self identification and separateness
Cultural programming of external gratification and outwardly success at the cost of inner harmony
And of course unhealed trauma , the root cause of so much of our suffering, anxiousness and depression
Once again suppressed by numbing, distraction, avoidance, unconscious behaviours that drive our lives
So we become disembodied - living our lives in way where we feel something is wrong with us or we need to be fixed
A disunity to self…the hero’s journey is about integration, coming home to self, back to your true essence
Honouring all aspects of your life and seeing that all as sacred
