Joseph Campbell famously made popular the Hero's Journey, which is the spiritual journey. While it is more intricate that this, it can be seen in 3 phases (not always sequential, but usually): - Departure (from the known) - Initiation (in the unknown) - Return (contribution to the once known with unique experience, wisdom, and maturity gained from initiation) Each of us, if we accept it, are on a hero's journey. But many don't accept it. Or they begin and out of fear retreat to the known. But if you are on the spiritual journey, you are being called to become the fullness of who you are, not so that "you" can be great, but that you can be a beneficial presence to the collective through your individual lived experience. Most on the spiritual path thinks it's only about them, it's about being the vehicle in which God embodies for healing, wholeness, and transformation of the world. Be curious. Be courageous. Be a gift.   *************** Sign up to receive my weekly email: https://thisiscurrent.org For 1:1 spiritual direction, email Luke@LukeBricker.com Let's hang on social:   / the_spiritual_nomad      Luke Bricker is an ordained minister and Spiritual Director at Current Collective.
