  • Summary

  • Mark Stratton stands on his soapbox and talks about the aspects of the Hero's and Heroine's Journeys that are related to spirituality, philosophy, psychology and basic self-improvement.

    However, the entire point of the Journeys is to eventually move beyond them. To move beyond being the Hero or Heroine and to experience Life as your Self.

    Let's stop constantly rebooting our Journeys and realize that the Hero, Heroine and Villain are just tools and aids to improve our lives.

    What is Beyond the Hero's and Heroine's Journeys?
    Dec 10 2024
    This episode was more of a personal pondering out on my deck on a hot, July evening in 2024. As such, there is no introduction and no end blessing, so here they are now:

    Hello, my name is Mark Stratton, welcome to Beyond the Journeys. Goddess blessings upon you, you have all the weapons and knowledge you need within you.

    AI generated synopsis:

    This podcast excerpt discusses the speaker's contemplation of their next project, moving beyond the established hero's journey narrative. The speaker questions the limitations of solely focusing on the hero archetype, suggesting that true personal growth lies in transcending such fixed identities. They propose exploring a space beyond the hero's journey's typical stages, including the return and integration, aiming to examine what comes after achieving the "happily ever after." This exploration involves releasing limiting self-identifications and embracing a more fluid, less defined sense of self. The speaker intends to title their podcast "Beyond the Hero's Journey," reflecting their intention to examine this concept further.

    Reintroducing Think Spiritual Podcasts
    Dec 9 2024
    (I've been hanging onto a number of recordings for a while, I guess I've decided to start releasing them. This episode was recorded June 2024.)

    Mark Stratton, creator of "Think Spiritual Podcasts," reintroduces his podcasting project after a long hiatus.

    He candidly discusses his past burnout from over-exertion in his work and explores his internal conflict between the need to create and the pain of doing so. He touches on his personal journey, including his past as a Christian and his current spiritual explorations, introducing a Q&A segment about manifestation and offering a critique of simplistic answers to complex questions within Evangelical Christianity, illustrated by an example from "God's Not Dead".

    This episode is unscripted, reflecting Mark's self-described chaotic and passionate nature.
