The Hero is the one who goes out to resolve the conflicts in the mind; who is able to attain sovereignty by taking responsibility for all that ails it - by exerting itself, asserting itself in the world, encountering negation and sublating it into higher order truth and freedom. The true Hero’s Journey is best thought of as a dialogue rather than a battle.
Carl Jung's concept of the Hero archetype is one of the most central and widely recognised motifs in mythology, literature, and individual psychological development. The Hero archetype represents the journey of overcoming obstacles, achieving triumphs, and undergoing significant transformation. Jung saw this archetype as embodying the psyche's quest for individuation-the process by which we become who we really are, of becoming ‘undivided’ in ourselves.
In this active imagination exercise, we’re going to be engaging with the Hero archetype, integrating the Hero in ourselves, and deepening our relationship to this crucial wider aspect of the objective psyche.
