The hero's journey - checking in

[Surfingthewave]

At what point do we realise the obsession we have with the hero's journey can become a distraction from the journey itself? 

How can you fight the threshold guardians if you use up your energy worrying about them popping up all the time.

The counter intuitive nature of this work means that we are still consumed by our egos searching for meaning, and this can become a distraction itself. 

My own experience has been something similar: we may become obsessive about the searching itself which impacts on the journey (you may throw the baby out with the bathwater).

Enjoy the journey. Miracles happen every day. The sun rises in the morning and the stars appear at night.

Realise that our psyches will always want an ending. There is no ending to enlightenment or personal development.
