In this second week, we focus on how generative trance (GT) can support life as a great hero’s journey (HJ), filled with happiness, positive contribution, and deep connection.  The HJ calls us to live in alignment with a deeper inner consciousness, discovering our own unique gifts.  This journey not only provides immense personal fulfillment, but it also helps heal some deep split or disconnection within one's self and, from there, the larger community.  In present times, this generally means integrating the dissociated worlds of the virtual mind (left brain/analytical mind) and the deeper "organic spirit" of creative unconscious (right brain/soul/heart).   In the HJ, each person must find their own unique calling and path to do this.  

Generative Trance is an extraordinary tradition for supporting this. It allows "emptying out" and "letting go" of the isolating, mechanical ego mind, and an immersion into the creative ocean of deeper consciousness.  From this deeper "trance," it becomes possible to discern and follow your unique path, listening and living what T.S. Elliot called the "music heard so deeply that it is not heard at all".  This "music" is equally universal and particular: You feel the anima mundi of universal consciousness, along with your own unique way of living it and expressing it.
