Prologue
Today's Effort is on the Nature of "Woke" . I must supply a rather long excerpt from Dr. Joseph Campbell found within his The Hero With A Thousand Faces .
"Nevertheless, every failure to cope with a life situation must be laid, in the end, to a RESTRICTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS . Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance ; regrets are illuminations come to late . The whole sense if the ubiquitous myth of the hero'e passage is that it shall serve as a general pattern for men and women, wherever they may stand along the scale . Therefore it [the myth] is formulated in the broadest terms . The individual has only to discover his own position with reference to this general human formula, and let it then assist him past his restricting walls . Who and where are his ogres ? Those are the reflections of the unsolved enigmas of his own humanity . What are his ideals ? Those are the symptoms of his grasp of life ."
