The Hero's Journey 17 Steps Explained. 

Oh, fantastic to hear Claudio. Wishing you the very best with your presentation :)

It seems that once we go through the stages of the journey, the journey begins all over again once we have accomplished our goal. A different sequence of stages in life begin again, specially if we fall into a routine. I went literally ritually through my first "heroe's journey" when I was 24 and I decided to travel to Europe from the states, when I had never slept outside of my home prior to that. Twelve years later I relived the same experience when I did the pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela. I was not aware of the heroe's journey until a few years after when I came across Campbell's book and I felt like a lightbulb went on in my mind. I could see every stage of Campbell's myth theory in each of my travel adventures. But the complication happens when we return with the elixir. It seems that a "new" reincarnation occurs as if a new soul enters our being without having to go through physical death. That new soul begins his own journey all over again. experiences. This concept of a new incarnation is not discuss in the Hero with a thousands faces, but it is discussed in the esoteric teachings of Hassidic Judaism, the Kabbalah, which seems to be the one subject that Jung had regretted at the end of his life for not having had more time to explore it, as he wrote in 1962.

fantastic video! I've just gone back to college after working boring jobs after 6 years. I got too comfortable and never push myself. Right now i'd say I'm crossing the threshold :)

Hey Anastasia I've just found your channel and this video- totally ace ! Best explanation of the Hero's journey I've found so far, makes it very easy to share with others. Much appreciated ! Hope you don't let another 6 months go by without uploading a new video!

Thanks for watching:)

Thank you for watching :)

Yes, I need to go through my videos and do this. Thanks for the reminder and watching :)

What you say makes a lot of sense. Would the return perhaps be seen as a levelling up to a deeper inner-standing?

TRUE SOVEREIGN SELF I don’t mean it’s for me personally, if that’s what you are asking. I’m actually studying this to give some song structure to my next album (music). Unrelated topics in the songs, but put together with this story telling structure that Campbell put together from all around the world. It’s just something I’m using to fuel creativity.

TRUE SOVEREIGN SELF though I do think I see what you mean, where you can generalize the return section as just simplified as a more personal understanding.

@@nyarlathotep13 Oh wow that's awesome, so would finishing the album be the return?

@@nyarlathotep13 That's my inner standing of his work. This is my favourite quote from him which makes a lot of sense “The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight.”- Joseph Campbell

I'm sorry to ready about your difficulties. Change will only come from within. You need to work with the wounds and heal them. Nurture your inner child and start to innerstand the protector parts which may be around. This can be worked on and through in sessions but may take time and commitment.

Me too. Especially with getting my flow on RU-vid :)
