Each person, I have heard, has their own hero quest, hero journey, their own call to adventure. What about mine? And yours?
I will start by asking you to think about yours. Do you know how you are a hero? Whether yes or no, let me know if you’d like to explore your hero journey more: elsa@fullflourishing.com
Why bother with that?
I can’t think of any time when that question could be more important than now. As I keep hearing about what is going on: You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!!!
I take that to mean that we will almost all be called upon to be heroes - for almost all of us, to go way outside any comfort zone. Maybe some combat veterans will be in their comfort zone. Not most of us, as far as I can tell.
It won’t be a matter of some people going off in search of adventure.
If we have any eyes to see or ears to hear:
we have recognized lockdowns for a not very dangerous illness, dangerous injections widely mandated supposedly to protect us from that illness,
we have seen war whipped into existence in the Ukraine, and billions of dollars and a massive amount of arms shipped there,
we know of toxic fuels burning after a derailment - one of many derailments,
we know of a huge bank that briefly shut down, and the rumblings in the banking sector.
How long will there be food on the shelves?
How does one be a hero in a situation like that? And who is a hero in a situation like that?
And now, what kind of hero am I? I wrote a bit about myself a week ago, about the long times I have spend alone. If I were to go on with that exploration, I think I’d write about how often I have been puzzled about things, including people and the world around me. I would also come to an impulse I had even in childhood: to rescue, to save.
The title of my MA thesis: She Came to the Rescue. It was on the life and writings of Nellie L. McClung, an amazing woman who wrote bestsellers, was a loving wife and mother, was an ardent campaigner for Votes for Women, was elected to the Manitoba legislature, and much more.
But me? How can I save, rescue? How can I be a hero?
I have chosen to speak out, not be silent - over and over.
I have chosen to look and learn and think and, again, speak out as well as I can.
I have chosen to learn all I can about human psychology, including the psychology of evil (which gives me the creeps) which can be summed up briefly as grounded in, founded in, lack of empathy.
I have chosen to keep going, exploring, shifting direction - like a detective on a trail - when the clues led me in a different direction. I never would have thought I’d learn about the economy, the banking system, the predator cohort.
I’m also doing all I can to keep you along on my exploration.
Plus I have created a group for people who want, for instance, to connect more and learn more strategies. (If interested, you can contact me or come explore AWAKE in a World Gone “Woke”) One thing I care about, in the group, is to encourage the development of ever more inner and outer strategies, and to undo inner stuck points.
All hell will break loose, I’ve often heard about what’s coming.
What will it be like for me, in such a situation? Will I be able in any way to help those around me, with me, connected in some way to me?
I don’t know.
One thing I know. Over and over, I have not refused the call. I could have turned a blind eye to the information about Islam, about climate, about the fear-mongering, the media lies, about so much. I did not.
I don’t know what next.
I’m going to end with what I started. Asking you about your hero journey.
Are you a reluctant hero - like Frodo, for instance?
Do you think about others as heroes but never yourself?
Do you believe we’re arrogant if we wonder about, how can we be, in our own small ways, heroes?
Is this the first time you’ve ever wondered: how are you a hero?
Finally, if you’d like to explore your hero journey in, say, a 3-hour workshop, let me know: elsa@fullflourishing.com
And here is my imagining a 13-year-old: Who is this person I call me? She wonders: Will the day be boring? Or will there, this once, be glory? Yes, she’s longing for the call to her personal quest.

Mine has always, since a small boy. To seek out the truth. About anything & everything that comes into my world. I'm absolutely no hero! Just an older, very very inquisitive bloke! 1Love!
Bad times are coming, of that there is no doubt. I have come to believe that some, perhaps even most, in the globalist tribe really do want a seriously reduced human population and then placing themselves at the top of the human pyramid with the surviving population as their serfs.
These malevolent beings want to own the means of transportation, communication, industrial &: agricultural production. They want to do away with public health agencies & processes but preserve the very best of modern medicine for their exclusive use & benefit.
That said, the individual -- even large groups -- will have a hard time resisting the monsters who have such a firm grip on the levers of power.
I'm a killer. I'm good at taking lives, or at least I was when I wore a younger man's clothes. My heroes in those years were others like myself, who didn't walk into danger -- but ran into it, eyes open and aware of the risks ... and the penalty for losing.
But now I think the true heroes are not soldiers, although their courage, string backs & mighty legs that carry them into battle certainly are heroic; indeed, the true heroes are those who teach others how to survive ... even thrive ... during the coming trials of the soul.
I'm not a religious person but I admire those men (and some women) who help us understand & commune with our spiritual selves; I admire academic teachers who help us learn to read, to think, to apply math & science. These things expand our personal universes and help us put ourselves into perspective.
But I also highly admire those who teach agriculture, horticulture & animal husbandry...and those who teach us how to use tools to build & repair. Sustaining the physical life is as important -- maybe moreso -- as the other aspects of life..
I grow, hunt & fish for, most of the food we consume. What I can't produce, I buy or trade for from local microproducers...and I take special joy in teaching others how to tend the soil, raise a food crop, hunt a deer or rabbit or squirrel. I'm thrilled to take a newbie into the swamp to hunt feral swine -- one of the few animals in North America that will hunt us while we're chasing it...and I bring that newbie out alive, uninjured & in possession of food for his table.
In time, someone might see my teaching these skills as heroic but to me learning these things is baseline survival & teaching to others is what I know how to do best.
