Speaker 0 (0s): welcome back everybody. It's so nice to see you, at least as nice to close my eyes and imagine that you guys are having a good day. I love you are welcome back in the podcast. You know, we are doing today. Do you guys know what we're doing today? We're moving back to an old classic, a little spot law it on to law school with Joseph Campbell, we were working on what it means to be a hero. 

Well, working on the heroes journey. Everybody are you on that? Journey if you're listening to this, you've probably on that journey. Lets face it. You have probably already hero. I mean, if were being honest with ourselves, you guys are probably thinking, you know what? George you're a hero podcast is a hero. 

C'mon let me do it. This guy that sounds kind of creepy. Might have to turn this thing off. Don't do that. Don't turn it off and done being crazy at at least for a minute or two truth is we're going to get into some Heroes stuff. Right? What is a hero? Here's a quote from mr. Dr. Martin Luther King jr. For 1963. A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. 

How about this idea of a hero Otto rank declares that everyone is a hero in birth or he undergoes a tremendous transformation from the condition of a little water creature, living in a realm of amniotic fluid, into an air breathing mammal, which ultimately will be standing.

How about the old Prometheus's? The fire theft is a universal mythic theme. Promethium brings fire to mankind and consequently civilization. There is a one of my favorite books by a Miguel Servantez. Does anyone really think Miguel Servon wrote donkey Hodie in the 12 hundreds. I have 

Speaker 1 (3m 0s): You guys read that book. It reads like it was written today. Something going on there, Don Quixote rode out to encounter giants, but instead of giants, his environment produced windmills.

Poor Icarus fell under the water, but Daedalus who flew the middle way. Succeeded in getting to the other shore. Moses Moses is a sens, the mountain he meets with Yar away on the summit and he comes back with rules for formation, have a whole society. That That is a typical hero act departure, fulfillment returned. 

How about the Buddha? The Buddha follows the path very much like That of Christ only of course the Buddha lived 500 years earlier. You know, you can match these two, save your figure's right down the line, even to the role and characters of their immediate disciples. Do you guys know that? Where do you think so far? You've got some Heroes that you're thinking of. You got somebody in your life. That's a hero. I think it was Plato who said the soul is a circle. 

I drew a horizontal line across the circle to represent the line of separation of the conscious and the unconscious, the.in the center of the circle below the horizontal line represents the center from which all our energy comes above. The horizontal line is the ego represented as a square. That aspect of our consciousness that we id
