The magic flight: The chase sequence, which starts on horseback and<br />

then trucks, then dragged behind the truck. He recovers the Ark but then<br />

the Nazis capture the Ark again and Indy hitches a ride on the periscope<br />

on the submarine.<br />

Rescue from without: The Ark is opened and all the bad guys are killed.<br />

Crossing <strong>of</strong> the return threshold: Back in America.<br />

Master <strong>of</strong> two worlds: He’s defeated the Nazis, his nemesis and<br />

recovered the Ark.<br />

Freedom to live: He lost the Ark to his own government but he’s got the<br />

girl.<br />

I know that our everyday lives aren't quite as epic as Indy's but if you<br />

look at the structure <strong>of</strong> the hero's journey, you'll find similarities to<br />

quests you've embarked on (hopefully less thwart with danger and<br />

Nazis).<br />

The hero's journey has variations with some steps omitted and with<br />

name changes.<br />

Fool's journey<br />

When we move into tarot, we find the Fool's Journey. This is the journey<br />

we will follow at the Soul Path Journey programme.<br />

The major arcana (the first 22 cards in a deck, numbered zero to twentyone)<br />

tell a procession through life, situations or events. We experience a<br />

growth cycle. The Fool begins the journey and along his or her path, she<br />

encounters the remaining 21-cards <strong>of</strong> the major arcana. The sequence<br />

ends with The World and The Fool begins her journey again.<br />

Like the hero's journey, The Fool's journey can be used as a guideline to<br />

map where you are on your own path. For example, you might be at the<br />

initial stage <strong>of</strong> starting a business – nothing concrete but an idea<br />

bubbling under the surface. In your love life, you might have just found<br />

out your partner has been having an affair. You would identify with the<br />

Fool and the Tower respectively.<br />
