The Seeker Deep Dive with Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz

Journey Stage of the Hero's Journey - Becoming Real The journey always begins with a yearning. We feel discontented, confined, alienated or empty. Often we do not even have a name for what is missing, but we long for that mysterious something. The urge to seek the grail, to climb the mountain, to seek wisdom, to cross new frontiers, to achieve the formerly unachievable in all areas of life seems endemic in the human race. The Seeker starts us on the journey by responding to the call of Spirit to ascend.

The Seeker seeks to find a better future or a more perfect world. The call takes different forms for different people. Always the call is to function at a higher or deeper level, to find a way to live that has more significance and depth, to find out who you are beyond the social persona that you and your environment have jointly created.

To some degree, all the forms of the quest reduce to a basic desire to encounter authenticity in oneself, in the world outside and in the cosmos as a whole.

There are five levels of the Seeker:

Shadow - Excessive ambition, perfectionism, pride, inability to commit, addictiveness in general

Call - Alienation, dissatisfaction, emptiness; opportunity knocking

Spiral One - Exploring, wandering, experimenting, studying, trying new things

Spiral Two - Ambition, climbing the ladder of success, becoming the best you can be

Spiral Three - Spiritual searching, transformation

Allow yourself to daydream about greener pastures, where you would rather be than where you are. Perhaps it’s a different partner, a different lifestyle. Then let yourself imagine how you would have to change to make it possible for you to live your fantasy. Are you willing to allow that transformation?
