The Hero's Journey is a metaphor for the process of healing that comes to us from the wisdom of the ancient ones. They have given us fairy tales and fables so that we might better understand life.

FINDING HAPPINESS
Real happiness is something we all want and few of us actually achieve. We all have our happy moments, but a truly peaceful existence eludes us. Why?
WHERE WE GET STUCK
When it comes to dealing with us, the Creator has a problem. He/She desires us to know the truth, especially about ourselves, but we have free will, so He/She cannot just give it to us. Free will demands that we must find things out for ourselves. So He/She created the human form and a process called “life” to accomplish that.
WHY IS LIFE (sometimes) SO DIFFICULT?
You came to earth to resolve certain unfinished aspects of your being (usually about love of self). But because you have free will, you cannot simply be given your lovability. You must come to find it for yourself.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
You came here to work on an aspect of your spiritual development. But we usually try and sidestep that issue because it asks us to be more vulnerable than we feel comfortable with.
