The Hero’s Journey with Paul Rebillot - Radical Change Group Podcast
We are continuing our conversations with Paul Rebillot on the topic of the Healing Theatre - the combination of acting and drama, mythology, gestalt therapy, and rituals. For more information about Paul and his work, please visit his website - Direct Impact Creativity.
In this segment, Paul describes the cornerstone of his work - the Hero’s Journey.
* The story of Cú Chulainn - the Hound of Culain
* The rite of passage
o The "mini-schizophrenic episode"
* The call to adventure
o First level of resistance: The world, people around you
o Help from a peer, a friend
o Moving into the non-linear, circular path
o The daemon of resistance
o Magical help, magical object
o Hero and Hera
* The Threshold - the Daemon of Resistence
o The personal, inner level of resistence
* The Land of Miracles
o More tests on the way
o The Supreme Ordeal
o Place of the reward
* Return to the real world
o Hero cannot stay in the land of miracles - has to come back
o Cannot take your gift back; you can only take the awareness or knowledge of the gift.
o Leave the magical powers behind, and takes the knowledge.
* Alignment of the three centers
o Body (movement), Heart (feelings), Head (symbol, word)
* Interpretation of Myth
o Myth as a symbol for the mind; the mind finds the meaning in symbol that resonates with the heart and the body
* On Oriental traditions
o Becoming conscious of one’s gift - often comes from the spirit guide
o On spirituality
* Origins of the Hero’s Journey process
o A "mini-schizophrenic episode" for doctors and nurses in a mental hospital
