The Great...‘Call to Adventure’.
What is it?.....Exactly.
Where does it come from?
Why does it inspire us?
It is the desire to become a hero.
A hero to ourself.
The desire appears to be innate, common to all humanity, to be what we all want.
The great ‘Call to Adventure’, with its inherent heroic call, emerges from the realisation that what has been lived so far is a life of sensible normality, a life that has been relatively mundane, even, most worryingly, a life that appears to have been severely lacking in meaningful purpose.
The ‘Call to Adventure' proposes a morality in meaning.
It trumpets out a call that a life is best lived if it is adventurous and diligent in thought, in word, and in action, that to be meaningful, life can and must be, much more than sensibly mundane.
It insists that an enquiring, adventurous life is the true path to meaning, that it is a treasure to which we should courageously and continuously aspire.
The yet-to-become Hero perceives this great treasure in their future.
The imagination obligates the mind to institute a search for likely and profitable areas of adventurous exploration.
The belly stirs the vitals with the fear of approaching dangers unknown.
This....is the clarion call to action.
