The Hero's Journey is YOUR journey | The purpose of spiritual awakening might suprise you!

Joseph Campbell famously made popular the Hero's Journey, which is the spiritual journey. While it is more intricate that this, it can be seen in 3 phases (not always sequential, but usually):
- Departure (from the known)
- Initiation (in the unknown)
- Return (contribution to the once known with unique experience, wisdom, and maturity gained from initiation)
Each of us, if we accept it, are on a hero's journey.
But many don't accept it.
Or they begin and out of fear retreat to the known.
But if you are on the spiritual journey, you are being called to become the fullness of who you are, not so that "you" can be great, but that you can be a beneficial presence to the collective through your individual lived experience.
Most on the spiritual path thinks it's only about them, it's about being the vehicle in which God embodies for healing, wholeness, and transformation of the world.
Be curious. Be courageous. Be a gift.

I love focusing on all the similarities between Christianity, eastern beliefs, science, new age and more. Rather then focusing on the differences. Its been life changing. 🙏❤️

[@LukeBricker]

Totally! Love ya brother!

[@MoparMomma]

Loved this message. "My sheep hear My voice" - I believe many of us have been called out to walk this lonely path. Few of us listen to others... Today, I needed the affirmation of the journey and move more boldly into the fullness of what I believe to be true. There is light in your messages.

[@LukeBricker]

That's it! The path is narrow and few find it, but when you do it becomes the only Way, and a joyful one! Thank you for this comment, friend.

[@fitnesstraining4u977]

Hey there! Good morning!

It’s important to have at least some resource, otherwise you’ll want to take the resource from the past.

I love the GOT tangent 😂

[@fitnesstraining4u977]

Haha. Same. I watched season 1, 3x. Loved it. House of dragons wasn't close. 😢

[@LukeBricker]

I knew that had to be for someone 😂

[@LukeBricker]

Yeah it just didn't live up to the hype. They're going to have a hard time topping GOT
