the choke of "woke"

                                                                             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 ."
