The Call to AdventureThe call to adventure is the point in a person's life when he/she is first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not.

The Call initiates the hero into the adventure1. a realization of imbalance/injustice2. something lacking in life- a search for

what's missing 3. something not permitted to members

of his society * goes to win those rights (honor)

Refusal of the CallOften when the call is given, the future hero refuses to heed it. This may be from a sense of duty or obligation, fear, insecurity, a sense of inadequacy, or any of a range of reasons that work to hold the person in his or her current circumstances.

Supernatural AidOnce the hero has committed to the quest, consciously or unconsciously, his or her guide and magical helper appears, or becomes known to provide tools, weapons, information, magic, etc.

The Journey - Departure

The Crossing of the First ThresholdThis is the point where the person actually crosses into the field of adventure, leaving the known limits of his or her world and venturing into an unknown and dangerous realm where the rules and limits are not known.

The Belly of the WhaleThe belly of the whale represents the

final separation from the hero's known world and self.

It is sometimes described as the person's lowest point, but it is actually the point when the person is between or transitioning between worlds and selves.

The separation has been made, or is being made, or being fully recognized between the old world and old self and the potential for a new world/self.

The Journey - Departure

THE ABYSSThe worst challengeOften must face the abyss aloneMust overcome his greatest fearsThis is where he "slays the

dragon"Sometimes the hero isn't ready

or has some flaw in his character, so the challenge beats him

THE BELLY OF THE WHALE, CONT.

The experiences that will shape the new world and self will begin shortly, or may be beginning with this experience which is often symbolized by something dark, unknown and frightening.

By entering this stage, the person shows their willingness to undergo a metamorphosis, to die to him or herself.

The Journey - Initiation

The Road of TrialsThe road of trials is a series of tests, tasks, or ordeals that the person must undergo to begin the transformation. Often the person fails one or more of these tests

They often occur in threes

The Journey - InitiationThe Meeting with the GoddessThe meeting with the goddess represents the point in the adventure when the person experiences a love that has the power and significance of the all-powerful, all encompassing, unconditional love that a fortunate infant may experience with his or her mother.

The Journey - Initiation

THE MEETING WITH THE GODDESS, CONT.

It is also known as the "hieros gamos", or sacred marriage, the union of opposites, and may take place entirely within the person.

In other words, the person begins to see him or herself in a non-dualistic way.

This is a very important step in the process and is often represented by the person finding the other person that he or she loves most completely.

Although Campbell symbolizes this step as a meeting with a goddess, unconditional love and /or self unification does not have to be represented by a woman.

The Journey - InitiationWoman as the TemptressAt one level, this step is about those

temptations that may lead the hero to abandon or stray from his or her quest, which as with the Meeting with the Goddess does not necessarily have to be represented by a woman.

For Campbell, however, this step is about the revulsion that the usually male hero may feel about his own fleshy/earthy nature, and the subsequent attachment or projection of that revulsion to women.

Woman is a metaphor for the physical or material temptations of life, since the hero-knight was often tempted by lust from his spiritual journey.

The Journey - Initiation

Atonement with the FatherIn this step the person must confront and be initiated by whatever holds the ultimate power in his or her life. In many myths and stories this is the

father, or a father figure who has life and death power. This is the center point of the journey.

All the previous steps have been moving in to this place, all that follow will move out from it.

ATONEMENT WITH THE FATHER

Although this step is most frequently symbolized by an encounter with a male entity, it does not have to be a male; just someone or thing with incredible power.

For the transformation to take place, the person as he or she has been must be "killed" so that the new self can come into being.

Sometime this killing is literal, and the earthly journey for that character is either over or moves into a different realm.

Apotheosis: To apotheosize is to deify—to make into a god. When someone dies a physical death, or

dies to the self to live in spirit, he or she moves beyond the pairs of opposites to a state of divine knowledge, love, compassion and bliss.

This is a god-like state; the person is in heaven and beyond all strife.

A more mundane way of looking at this step is that it is a period of rest, peace and fulfillment before the hero begins the return.

The Ultimate BoonThe ultimate boon is the

achievement of the goal of the quest.

It is what the person went on the journey to get.

All the previous steps serve to prepare and purify the person for this step, since in many myths the boon is something transcendent like the elixir of life itself, or a plant that supplies immortality, or the holy grail.

The Journey – ReturnRefusal of the ReturnSo why, when all has been achieved, the ambrosia has been drunk, and we have conversed with the gods, why come back to normal life with all its cares and woes?

The Magic FlightSometimes the hero must escape with the boon, if it is something that the gods have been jealously guarding. It can be just as adventurous and dangerous returning from the journey as it was to go on it. Often this saves the hero a long return trip back through the trials that got them there.

Rescue from WithoutJust as the hero may need guides and assistants to set out on the quest, often times he or she must have powerful guides and rescuers to bring them back to everyday life, especially if the person has been wounded or weakened by the experience. Or perhaps the person doesn't realize that it is time to return, that they can return, or that others need their boon.

The Crossing of the Return ThresholdThe trick in returning is to retain the wisdom gained on the quest, to integrate that wisdom into a human life, and then maybe figure out how to share the wisdom with the rest of the world. This is usually extremely difficult.

Freedom to LiveMastery leads to freedom from the fear of death, which in turn is the freedom to live. This is sometimes referred to as living in the moment, neither anticipating the future nor regretting the past.

Various views of the hero’s journey

The hero’s journey can

be represented

in many ways.

Master of the Two WorldsIn myth, this step is usually represented by a transcendental hero like Jesus or Buddha. For a human hero, it may mean achieving a balance between the material and spiritual. The person has become comfortable and competent in both the inner and outer worlds.

Various views of the

hero’s journey

While versions of the hero’s journey may vary, they all generally assume a process by which the hero becomes a hero.
