 HEROS JOURNEY  AN EXAMPLE IN NLP CONTEXT
An invisible presence.....
 There is an inner self that is trying to become conscious.
 There is another intelligence that lives within you (the unconscious, the
spirit, inner being...)
 This inner being is very intelligent.
 It is not part of or the property of your conscious self, it is autonomous
and has its own consciousness
.....is trying to wake up...
- Each stage of awakening is initiated through out of control
disturbances, such as symptoms,crises, altered states, major life changes,
etc.
 - The problem is the solution/the attempted solution is the problem
 - When your other than conscious self predominates,listen!
.... from dreamtime....
 Two types of dreamtime: the field of infitite possibilities (the creative
void, the collective unconscious, the spirit world) and neurosis (half-
baked experience, neglected selves, received by somatic self/rejected by
cognitive self...)
....into human consciousness.
-Human consciousness is the second coming, the double-birthed relational
self that practices self-awareness, self acceptance, sponsorship of
life...
 For a problem to become a solution, proper conditions must be present.
 The principle of utilization/cooperation /sponsorship is a cornerstone
 A ritual space must be present (safety, experiental forma, blessings and
guidance, death and rebirth)
Self-Relations
 Gilligan defines 'symptoms' as an awakening of the soul
 the purpose of a symptom, such as depression, or panic, might be to call a
person to seriously reexamine their life, to begin a process of reanimating
their life with new found purpose and intensity.
 . The therapist's job is to be there as "sponsor," to touch with love
whatever a person brings.
