Volume LXXVI – (The Cave) ...And the Dragon

In this pivotal fifth episode of The Hero’s Journey arc, The Architect guides us into the archetypal descent — the moment when the hero must enter the cave they’ve spent their life avoiding. Drawing from Campbell’s immortal line and piercing psychological truth, this episode reframes fear not as a sign to stop, but as proof of the path. The dragon is not the enemy. The cave is not a trap. This is the beginning of transformation, for those willing to be undone.
