It is endlessly dark, so dark that I cannot tell whether my eyes are open or closed, though I’m fairly certain that they are open, I think. A few experimental blinks later and I can confirm the openness of my eyes. It is cold here, and I appear to be sitting on some kind of rock.

    Joseph Campbell, the creator of the hero’s journey, did a lot of research on ancient mythology. He discovered that many heroes travel the same paths to becoming a hero. Campbell decided that heroes come across many challenges that are put into stages and in those stages the hero grows closer to the reward at the end. I am definitely not a hero, but my journey of finding Christ and giving my life to him has absolutely made me into a better person overall.
