AWAKENING THE HEROES WITHIN
"The heroic quest is about saying 'yes' to yourself and in doing
so doing, becoming more fully alive and more effective in the
world...The quest is replete with dangers and pitfalls, but it
offers great rewards: the capacity to be successful in the world,
knowledge of the mysteries of the human soul, and the opportunity
to find and express your unique gifts in the world."
In this bold and original work, Carol S. Pearson shows that the
heroic quest isn't just for certain people under special
circumstances. Exploring the many heroic paths available to each of
us, at every point in our lives, her innovative program enables us
to live heroically by activating and applying twelve archetypes in
our lives.
This companion to the best-selling 'The Hero Within' outlines
twelve archetypal patterns that can aid inner development and the
quest for wholeness.
'These archetypes are inner guides that can help us: '
- prepare for the journey, by learning how to become successful
members of society- embark upon the quest, by becoming initiated
into the mysteries of the human soul; and- return to transform our
lives as a result of claiming our uniqueness and personal power
Writing for individuals seeking to realise their full potential
and professionals engaged in empowering others, Pearson shows how
journeys differ by the age, gender, and cultural background of the
seeker, and how archetypes help awaken the capacities of our
psyches. A unique diagnostic test, the Heroic Myth Index, and
exercises are included to help us understand and awaken our inner
guides.
