Gracias hermano!

One of the many things that I resonated with in your post was the notion of the awakening or healing journey. I was exploring the notion of the awakening journey and the collective journey as a societally healthier alternatives to the hero's journey in the mid 2010s. I still see that to be the case. Your post put the notion of the healing journey on my radar as another iconic story form that is more healthy than the hero's journey, which I see as myopically focused on the individual, separation, and fighting against external entities. The original hero's journey was more akin to an awakening journey where the battle is against inner demons and lack of understanding.

Peace and love
