Last night I slept and I dreamt.
It’s a wonderful dream: I am victorious and claiming the Treasure after vanquishing the Evil One.
I would love to stay in that dream.
Who wouldn’t?
I was jerked back into Reality when someone dropped this on Me and was rendered unconscious. It documents what I am to expect for the journey ahead. The Ordinary World beckoned so…
I feel constricted, like my lungs are burning and collapsing in on themselves. Each breath burns as I gasp for air. My vision begins to blur and cloud over. Panic seizes Me and I told Myself that I will deal with that in a while…a while that will never come.
A darkness looms over my encroached form.
Behold the Threshold Guardian #1: PAIN!
PAIN!: Hey Loser, quit wasting our time and go back to where you came from, it’s just not worth it…you feel Me? Oh now now, stop your whimpering…must be feeling lonely without Me around. Well, bad news brother, PAIN will go with you no matter where you go henceforth.
Behold the Threshold Guardian #2: FAILURE
FAILURE: Yo bro!! I am with you in relation to PAIN! I am before, during, after, within, without, foregrounding, backgrounding…omni-present, omni-potent coz you allow me to be prevalent. Meet my sergeant-in-arm…
Behold the Threshold Guardian #3: LIMITING BELIEF
LIMITING BELIEF: How can you move ahead when I’m so loud I happen all the time!!
Behold the Threshold Guardian #4: FEAR
FEAR: Boo!! I am Panic’s friend. You’ve lost Me!!
Behold the Threshold Guardian #5: CHANGE
CHANGE: I’ve always wanted you to be my friend. You have to next deal with PERFECTION, EXPECTATION, LOSS, and the horde of ETC’s and their minions of PROCRASTINATION. You must call out your birthright…you have CHOICE, your sword call VALUE and your trusty ride cum side-kick called ACTION.
Now.
I stirred into wakefulness. I am aware again. To find Me back, I need to face down the ultimate Trash-hold Guardian:
-
It is I
Now.
The Next Chapter: Reprisal: A New Hope.

Brilliant! More more!

Heh… after you are done, will you compile another 21-page ebook?

While I maintain the rights to compile this into an ebook, I also realise that it is not as self-explanatory as the actual Hero’s Journey compilation. This is at best, a self-entertaining spin-off spoofing parody. Kind of like what Michael Hall does to the NLP with less pomp.
Well, in the works is a Hero’s Journey Travel Companion, a workbook-style Self-Coaching Manual for the journey within and without.
We’ll get that out by the mid of May.
