The Classic Guide, Updated for Our Contemporary World A modern classic of Jungian psychology, The Hero Within has helped hundreds of thousands of people enrich their lives by revealing how to tap the power of the archetypes that exist within. Drawing from literature, anthropology, and psychology, author Carol S. Pearson clearly defines six heroic archetypes--the Innocent, the Orphan, the Wanderer, the Warrior, the Altruist, and the Magician--and shows how we can use these powerful guides to discover our own hidden gifts, solve difficult problems, and transform our lives with rich sources of inner strength.

With poignant wisdom and prolific examples, it gives us enduring tools to help us develop our own innate heroic gifts--the Orphan's resilience, the Wanderer's independence, the Warrior's courage, the Altruist's compassion, the Innocent's faith, and the Magician's abiding power.… (meer)

Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close Upon the growing boy... At length the man perceives it to die away, And fade into the light of common day. - William Wordsworth, "Ode: intimations of Immortality" From RECOLLECTIONS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD
I fear me this- is Lonliness- The Maker of the Soul Its Caverns and its Corridors Illuminate- or seal- -Emily Dickenson
Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime. And departing, leave behind us Footprints in the sands of time.
Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "A Psalm of Life"
Perhaps the dross of flesh Is no more than a familiar garment That grows looser as we diet on death, & perhaps we should discard it or give it to the poor in spirit, Who have not learned yet What a blessing it is To go naked? Erica Jong, "Is Life the Incurable Disease?"
She was the single artificer of the world In which she sang, and when she sang,the sea, Whatever self it had,became the self That was her song, for she was the maker. Then we, As we beheld her striding there alone, Knew that there was never a world for her Except the one she sang and, singing, made. - Wallace Stevens,"The Idea of Order in Key West"
If I speak in the tongues of men and angles, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing, If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing... So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. -1 Corinthians 13: 1-3, 13
Here we are opening into "the religion of psychology" by suggesting that psychology is a variety of religions experience.
Psychology as religion implies imagining all psychological events as effects of Gods in the soul, and all activities to do with the soul, such as therapy, to be operations of ritual in relation to these Gods.... It is not a question of religion turning to psychology -- no, psychology is simply going home. -- JAMES HILLMAN, Re-Visioning Psychology

PREFACE Writing this book was, in part, an homage to the archetypes that have helped me grow as a person and a scholar.
PREFACE TO THE EXPANDED EDITION I was initially inspired to write The Hero Within out of a concern that we would not be able to solve the great political, social, and philosophical problems of our time if so many of us persisted in seeing the hero as "out there" or "up there," beyond ourselves.
INTRODUCTION This is a book about the stories that help us make meaning of our lives.
Heroes take journeys, confront dragons, and discover the treasure of their true selves.

Finally, when we learn to celebrate and affirm all we are, and all we daily are given, to love ourselves, each other, the planet, God, and the potential of life in the universe, we move into the new age.
