is the hero journey inherantly flawed with narcassism?

[Aakash]

Thinking about it again, the delusion created is inheritantly narcassistic no matter which way you dissect it. 

words like "doing it on behalf of the greater good" or " it is what needs to be done" 

creating your own heros journey yourself is therefore something that doesn't need to be done in the first place 

normally the choice is out of hands, because the person runs across an obsticle that he needs to overturned 

but all obsticles are not external in this matter they are internal to the being 

so all enemies fought out there are delusions created by the self

battling the self , overcoming the self and becoming a better person or (hero) in the grand scheme of things 

then coming to the place you started (yourself) at a surface level 

and then as a master of the self , helping others 

but this again itself is inherant narcassism because it is not what needs to be done 

so the master waits until his skills are one day needed by someone else 

he doesn't seek to help because he has mastered his self 

so by definition, you can only seek to show others the TRUE heros journey, if they wish to follow the persuit 

 

Help me with my contemplation, i feel like there are many things missing here

The true hero's journey is mastery over the self (or the awareness which self currently resides in)

That's all the hero's journey ever was. Don't confuse the map for the territory, it's just a helpful model on how to view your journey of self-discovery. That's like saying Spiral Dynamics is overly judgmental...

@TheAvatarState  i see, yeah i can feel my ego attaching to it and making a bigger deal out of it then it actually is.

i didn't quite understand what you mean by this though

@Aakash saying the hero's journey is ultimately narcissistic is like saying Spiral Dynamics is ultimately judgmental. While it could be interpreted in that way, it itself is just a model based on much research about general trajectories of human development. The projection of narcissism or the projection of judgment or pigeon-holing others is completely of your own doing. Could a narcissist begin the hero's journey? Sure. Humility by helping others is often a lesson along the hero's journey, and certainly by the end, that person would be humble and ready to share what he's learned.
