Supernatural Aid
My Beginning place: I feel that I come from the North, West, and East. I feel that my strengths are that I am smart, introspective, and have good vision of things happening in the world. I believe these characteristics give me a good base for my journey. I am able to see the problem, think about it, and fix it. I do not believe that I am a partial person because I belong to these three beginnings, not only one. The one place I feel that I need to work on is the South. I feel it is necessary to become more innocent and learn how to trust people more. I need to go to the South.
I feel that the medicines of compassion, joy, faith, patience, wisdom, selflessness, and humility are the ones that I should seek to balance out myself to make myself part of all four beginnings, not only three. I decided to find only these seven medicines because I felt that I did not need the other eight to balance myself out. I feel that these seven medicines are the ones that will make me a complete person and I will be ready for my hero journey. The number seven is a paradox; a state of unrest because something cannot be solved in the usual way… sin and redemption combined. I feel that I had picked seven medicines to find because I am at unrest because I am not a completely balanced person. Even though I am almost there, I still am not complete which is what is bothering me. I really enjoy the buddhist quote Ms. Haffley gave us saying, “A road is not for a destination but for a journey.” I am still on this road and until I can balance myself completely, I will never complete my journey.
why i chose each medicine:
1. Compassion: I need to work on being more compassionate to people. I tend to get an idea stuck in my head and if I believe someone did the wrong thing, I usually show no compassion for them.
2. Joy: without joy life is not worth it to me. Don’t get me wrong I love my life, but when those times when I am down, I become very negative. So, why not pick up joy to make my journey that much better.
3. Faith: Not just in God, but in people. When someone does something bad against me I tend to lose a lot of faith in him or her and do not trust them with something important from then on. I need to learn to have faith in humanity.
4. Patience: I like to get things done in a hurry. I see no point in dilly-dallying around with things. I need to learn to slow down and respect the way other people work.
5. Wisdom: Even though I feel that I am very smart person, I still feel that I have a lot I need to learn. For me to be successful on this journey, i need to know about the World and how it works.
6: Selflessness: I need to learn to give myself up for a greater cause. Right now, I have a problem doing that if it involves risking myself. To complete my journey I will need to forget this fear.
7: Humilty: Who doesn’t need this medicine? I will talk myself up from time to time and I realize this is a bad thing. I need to sacrafice myself to the greater good.
All these medicines will help me balance myself out and become full of all four beginnings. If I can get myself to do this, I will be on my way for my hero journey.
