Geneva Week 3: Archetypes

The Journey of a Hero

Look at Classical and mythological allusions which reference the ideas that highlight significant events.
Are some things better than others? Yes
If some things are better than others there must be a best thing? Yes it is possible
What is the best something possible? Largest? Most Powerful? All knowing? God
Is it better for God to exist or not to exist? Depends
Take both things, is it better for gods to exist or not to exist? To exist
Therefore, if we believe that god is the best thing, then he must exist. Joseph Campbell takes it one step further. Everyone is on their own hero's journey. You may not know it but you are. You are the creator of every relationship with other people it must be of bliss and respect. All of us must be the creator. If this god is everywhere, then logically anyone and everyone is god. Myths explain our culture and our history.
This is just stuff that we used to stimulate our 'hero'. Maybe this lives inside us and thats why people keep on telling ust to remain confident and with tones of positive charisma. Maybe believing in a god keeps us in the positive realm. This sort of ability to continue reminds me of The Secret. The ideas are vaguely similar.
