On this episode of Mythic Existence, host Jack Daly finishes his discussion of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey as told in his book, The Hero With a Thousand Faces. The third and final stage of the hero's journey is the return. This occurs after the quest has been completed, and the hero must return with their life-transmuting journey. Here, the hero is poised with the task of returning to the normal world after experiencing the bliss of the deep abode. They must integrate the wisdom they have found into their human life, and possibly wish to share their knowledge with the world. In this last phase, the hero has become master of two worlds, and finally has freedom to live.
