      THE HEROIC JOURNEY AND THE CREATION OF ENLIGHTENED SOCIETY

      The world is too much with us; late and soon,

      Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:

      Little we see in Nature that is ours;

      We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!

      William Wordsworth¹

      THE NATURE OF BEING HUMAN

      To be human is to become. As human beings, we possess a hungry spirit and an inherent need to find our place in the world and relevance for what we do. This need to become is a process that Swiss psychologist Carl Jung saw as the very essence of our evolutionary urge. It is a drive to complete ourselves, to become more whole in a process he called individuation.

      This urge to become can be traced to something in our psyche that says we have fallen from grace or lost our original home, and that the only way back is by making ourselves and our world whole. In Western tradition it is expressed in the story of Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden and striving to find a return home. In the East it is seen as the truth of suffering and the quest to overcome ignorance and return to our original nature. It is also at the core of the creation stories throughout the world’s indigenous cultures that often reveal a deep, elemental fear of being inadequate and not being enough.

      Philosophical and spiritual traditions worldwide say that one of the few things we all possess equally is this deep sense of incompleteness that compels us to search for ever higher forms of understanding and wholeness. This root psychic force explains all our motivations in human endeavor and all our hopes and fears. It has launched wars, crusades, and nation states, as well as art, science, and religion.

      Our cultures mold this evolutionary urge to become. In today’s busy world, it is often shaped by the economic imperative and manifests itself in daily life as the pursuit of self-interest and the drive to achieve, to succeed, and to advance in our personal endeavors. In business, in sports, in all forms of competition, the driving motivation is to win, to improve, and to become better.

      Likewise, the accumulation of wealth, power, and material goods, as well as the drive for position, prestige, and recognition, stem from a desire to become greater than what we fear ourselves to be. Our yearning for romantic connection has created whole industries to support this longing. Yet for many, having more and consuming more does not fill the void. We are still left with an existential angst.

      This root psychic force explains all our motivations in human endeavor and all our hopes and fears.

      The difficult truth is that this energy to become, this evolutionary life force of ours, when directed primarily toward self-interest, leads to a growing sense of emptiness and a gnawing lack of fulfillment. When we focus on ourselves, we lose the sense of belonging and the sense of connection to others. As a result, keeping up and expanding our personal enterprise easily turns into the paramount goal in our lives, often equating happiness with the consumption of the new and better and allowing speed and consumerism to hijack meaning—leaving us confused. Many of us fail to recognize the situation, and become increasingly stressed, hollow, or disconnected. To quote
