The Hero(ine)’s Journey:
Fourth of a series on Spiritual Growth and the Process of Healing
by Shirley Williams

Ready to take the journey of your life?


This journey is about to begin and you have the opportunity to share this journey with me and with others. The destination of our journey is wholeness, wellness, self-empowerment, alignment, and integration, which will enable each of us to open with purpose just as our world and all that grows within it  opens with purpose as the season changes from winter to spring. We have had the long rest of winter and now we are invigorated to begin a journey which will lead us more deeply into our individual springs and discover at a deeper level who we are, our uniqueness, our wonder and our glory. Join me  as we develop the stages of the hero(ine)’s journey. Be prepared to move into a more expanded level of consciousness as we move  toward the Millennium. The time is NOW!

Healing is not just about finding a new truth about who we are, it is about having the courage to act on that vision. It involves developing a strong container that provides us with clarity of mind and spirit. It is the development of the container that gives us the tools with which we access the Witness or Observing Ego-the place where we see ourselves and everyone as one and everything in our world in truth and in love. It is how we move into Oneness. It is how we know when we are in duality.

When we begin our journey, we develop the qualities of basic optimism, the capacity to band together for support, the courage to fight for self and others, and compassion and care for self and others. We support and allow the development and emergence of these ego strengths each time we begin a new aspect of our journey into self.

As we begin this journey into self, we become Seekers, searching for something that will satisfy us. We learn to strive for a change within us. We are gifted with autonomy and ambition.

Answering this call and embarking on the journey we meet the Destroyer. This archetypal energy takes away something that had seemed essential for our existence. If we become stuck in one polarity we will see this as privation and suffering. We need to let go and see the opposite polarity – the opportunity this gives us.  We also receive the gift of humility.

As we move forward in our journey, we meet the energy of the Lover. We fear that we are unloved by God, ourselves and others.  What we learn is to follow our bliss and that we are gifted with passion and commitment. We know that this is the Love we are seeking.

When these three energies of Seeker, Destroyer and Lover, merge, we achieve the birth of the true self. The energy of the Creator helps us begin to express this self in the world and prepares us for our return to our Kingdom. We have found our identity and we become authentic. We know  that we self-create and self-accept.  This ability to create is our gift on our journey.
