Stop Following the Hero's Journey: Do This Instead

The hero archetype you’ve been taught is Campbell’s. Jung’s version is stranger — and far more useful. In Jungian psychology, the hero isn’t a personality or a success template. It’s a stage of consciousness. It’s born the moment something in you refuses to go under, it faces a dragon that was never really an enemy, it’s taken apart in the descent, and eventually it has to be laid down so something larger can live. In this video: what the hero actually is (Erich Neumann’s map of consciousness), why the dragon guards the treasure, the nekyia — the night sea journey nobody warns you about, Jung’s 1932 Kundalini seminar and the serpent that rises instead of being defeated, the tyrant who never sets the hero down, and the return.
