In recent days chatting with a beautiful lady, the subject of the search without name arose, of that strange search that takes us all to go towards a place which we do not know, for reasons that we cannot describe but but real that our own lives.

In the course of the conversation, I commented to him that that search I have always seen him from two points of view, complementary and different; by a side conversations with the Nagual Rafael, and understanding of them through the world-wide study of mythology and legend, in addition that something is mentioned in the training of martial arts that I received late but.

In 1989 or 1990 I commented to the Nagual Rafael to him on which the search of Ixtlán in the terms of Castaneda was a symbol, but that the training I practice that I was receiving it indicated to me that there was something but.

It answered that that was certain, but as well as histories of the daily life are repeated, the same happens with histories of the magical world, because all the ways take to Rome, and through the legend they are expressed.

Everything what I will say between < * * > and < * * > corresponds to the words of the Nagual, according to them memory. Any error is born of my and not of.

The cycle of the hero is the name that we give that search. From the remote times but, some people are of the side of the life, and all those that are not of the side of the life they are of the side of the death.

Throughout the decades, some people try to make a difference, sometimes forced by the circumstances, but often guided by goals that cannot define, but that exists.

From Prometheus, who ignited to the man, until histories that we called " the blue prince " or " rose princess ", all act of the forces of the life dedicates itself to a search.

As the forces of the life are everywhere, from in a flower to the same Sun, there are many ways to follow that search, for example, some people follow the ways of the White Magic, others follow the way of the painting, or the way of being a mother housewife and loving wife.

This single search can be understood studying a little history of the man.

According to any country or religion, at some moment a person arises who is in an attacked place or that will be attacked by the chaos and the night, and that tries to avoid it. In that state, for this person it is impossible to face badly, because not this prepared to defeat it. Like part of his search, in a while of his life he leaves the security of not doing anything, and therefore slap to surrender to the night, and he sends himself to the way of the adventure, to the way that in the ritual magic is called the good combat, because guidance not by desire of being goes but, but of being better, so that the life flows through the channels that had to be, creating the beauty and the love.

Like part of this search, throughout his trip he arrives at a place where there is an animal, an old wise person, or any influence that puts order and sanity to its life, can be from a bramble burning to the love by a girl. Through that contact, something happens, and the hero connects with the life in a passional hug difficult to express, then, and through the calm, he creates the movement that will give origin but ahead to a new but always equal search.

That it is what is obtained in that search? It does not matter. In some cases is the princess, in others a treasure, a profane power; but it is as it is the change, the one that it looks for has been changed for always, and no longer is reverse gear, because in the important things never there is return.

In a while dice, the hero returns to its mother country or place of origin, tempered by the pain the search and the certainty of something but, that to others it is pronounced to them like something simple, for example, the young person that after a trip returns with a sweet and chaste wife, or the one who after years of fights, returns with an army to free his country.

Apparently the love to the power by itself can make lose to the hero everything what it has won, but never will be thus. For example the money by itself never will be badly, because it can be a force of the good impossible to stop, but the love to the money indicates a sale of the core, and by the same, that the search never began, and therefore, to not to have gained anything, anything it is possible to be lost.

When the hero returns with the good " difficult to obtain ", two things happen: On the one hand, never but he will be a stranger, because the world is its home, and in spite of seeming superior to others, never its power in the place will have never that obtained it; its search in a way can by halves be left, but once it found the influence balancing, it is impossible to lose it, and it cannot go to her because always this with, although sometimes will return to the origin place, this will temporarily undress it of its power, forcing it to begin the search again.

That cycle of the hero consists of several parts:

1. The hero undertakes a search
2. He knows an influence balancing
3. He becomes one with the world
4. He returns to the origin place, with the power of beyond
5. And if he returns to beyond, beyond he undresses it of his power while he is there, forcing it to undertake another cycle.

In summary, which the hero obtains cannot use it far from the world, the hero cannot separate from the world, or retire of the world. The hero is for the world, he does not stop anybody in special, and nevertheless, loves because each one of its acts is an act of love to that force without name, that is pronounced temporarily in a simple, honest person, and loyal.

Those that they follow the cycle of the hero undertake but of a search, but of a way, that is the reason for which some heroes have so many histories, and because some histories are stupidities. To think about the demigod Hercules like whom it cleaned the stables of Augias, is ridiculous, because there is no a search, but an application of its power, of the power that it obtained from the Mount Olympus, to that cannot return. Hercules looks for the redemption through his acts, and also he is thus in many stories, but those that fill to us, that nourishes to us, are histories of the common and current men that they face the world, and undertake the search of the hero.

It is also the reason that we do not understand so many things of the Bible, because there is much stuffed to the searches of the hero.

I am going to you to put an example, at the present time no longer there are heroes, or finders, we say that Tristán usually stops in its search of Isolda to obtain a good position in a bank.

It is why the force of the life creates symbols, archetypes that all we understand without knowing because, that at his moment, they create to new heroes and villains.

You have not put yourself to think as it is modern mythology? Surely it cannot be Michael Jackson with his spectacle of light and fire, because he is that, a spectacle. But for example, Superman is but real that your or I and surely will happen to the legend, and will live many thousands on years after their creators are dead, because it is a clear symbol of the cycle of the hero.

To they send it to the Earth so that one is saved of the destruction of its planet, begins a search. In the Earth it knows an influence balancing, Luisa Lane, and at the moment that accepts what is, becomes one with the world; its origin is the Earth that educated it, and have a dual power created beyond of stars, by its kryptonian inheritance, and the tangible approach that it takes form when knowing Luisa Lane. By I complete, loses its power if it returns to a world with a red sun.

As well as I put this example we can mention others, in which extraterrestrial or a God chooses to somebody to give a good him, but the Gods do not speak us to say to us what we already know; in those histories the influence centring device arrives at the hero when this its search with its acts has begun, perhaps without realizing, and when not being scared by the stranger, without looking for finds it the Teacher, that he returns it one with the world, and remembers to him that there are things by which is worth the trouble to live or to die in its case.

He is not accidental that in mythology is spoken of battles, because, could have search heroic in going to find supplies in the supermarket?

I much later did not understand this until, when it forced to leave the house to me where it was the group, agreeing with my return to the city of Mexico, where I was born, in the middle of unthinkable circumstances during my youth.

Speaking of heroes as Superman can seem ridiculous, but is according to the point of view of history.

At the moment in a good part of America this being sold a magazine that can create schock in its lives. They are two volumes of publishing grapevine, magazines of a called hero DareDevil, who sample of exemplary way what is to return to be born. The price is of approximately 5 dollars by magazine.

The series is called " To return To be born ", the first volume has as carried a personage of red suit, with a girl to its right, leaving or happening through a vitral over black bottom

To read this history can cause a feeling, although it was made in 1985, there is lost no his use, nor will lose it while very hard there is people who look for the redemption.

That they have faced battles successfully, the defeat can be very hard. I widely recommend to read this history, that is an approach to the cycle of the best hero than almost any other, and that at the moment can be in almost any position of magazines of a medium city of Hispanic speech.

In case of not being able to have access to that history, I suggest to see the films of Rocky, that also have that search.

In order to be able to win the battle by the life, it is necessary to enter , i think
