The hero’s journey is not for the faint of heart. You have felt like a misfit your whole life and have tried everything to fit in. Until you are no longer able to compromise. You know you need to move on. Once you set off into this great adventure, following that inner drive and call of searching, you know that this will be a life changer. You leave your old comfort zone without knowing what exactly will be next. Yet that inner voice is so strong, there is no holding back.
This journey takes several years if not decades. The more you discover, the more paradoxical life and reality become.
The hero’s journey breaks all your belief systems and conditioning in all fields of human living, be it health, relationships, business, money, politics, education, family… During the process, you are challenged to transcend all of your co-dependencies in life. You truly learn to be independent and you discover who you truly are, and what you are here to do.
At the end of the hero’s journey, there is a gate, which you can only pass when you are ready to let go of anything you were attached to in the former reality that you have outgrown during the process. You cross, naked, with a pure heart, without any fear or mistrust left to enter a completely NEW PARADIGM. The organic, unconditional, loving, and fun world of interdependence.
