The Hero's Journey.

 My spirit sings this day, for I am filled with the consciousness of Life, a life that is more than physical. I am tuned into every happy, healthy, successful person this day. Their thoughts travel over invisible paths to me and mine to them. I draw strength from them and they from me. I deliberately disconnect my mental pathways from those that are morbid or ugly, for I am alive only to Truth, Goodness and Beauty. Frederick W(illiam) Bailes

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

~ Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás, known as George Santayana (1863 –1952), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist.

Asked to explain Wile E. Coyote's unappeasable yearning to eat the uncatchable Road Runner, Chuck Jones cited George Santayana: "Fanaticism consists in redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim." http://www.webcitation.org/5iNjqSk1l

Your mind is very strong by nature. Feelings, appetites, and passions must stand aside for that wonderful intuition you were born to. Keep it bright with the words: “God is my Light and my Salvation.” ECH

THE hero's journey is the common template of a broad category of tales that involve a hero going on an adventure, and in a decisive crisis wins a victory, and then comes home changed or transformed.
The concept was introduced by Joseph Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), who described the basic narrative pattern as follows:

A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.

The body's serial adventures, from the time of birth to dying are the theme of every dream the world has ever had. The "hero" of this dream will never change, nor will its purpose. Though the dream itself takes many forms, and seems to show a great variety of places and events wherein its " hero " finds itself, the dream has but one purpose, taught in many ways. This single lesson does it try to teach again, and still again, and yet once more; that it is cause and not effect. And you are its effect, and cannot be its cause.

Some men see things as they are and ask why.
Others dream things that never were and ask why not.
