After sharing, listening, weeping and hugging, we stood in a circle and pressed the palms of our hands together and brought them to our hearts. I looked deeply into the eyes of each student in the circle and said, \u201cNamaste. The light in me sees the light in you. The sacred in me sees the sacred in you.\u201d One student\u2019s eyes suddenly brimmed with tears of mirth. <strong><em>\u201cIt takes one to know one.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Our somber circle erupted in gales of laughter.<\/p>\n<p>We crave the sort of affection those students felt. We want to feel connected to one another. And at the same time, there are forces that cause us to separate instead of connect.<\/p>\n<p>From these forces emerge epic stories that have universal appeal. Since the seventh <strong>Star Wars<\/strong> film opened on December 18, I\u2019ve been thinking about Hero\u2019s Journey films and how good and connected they make us feel. These feelings transcend national boundaries, race, gender and language, as evidenced by what was going on in Madrid around the opening of this film.<\/p>\n<p>George Lucas, the creator of <strong>Star Wars<\/strong> and one of my heroes, was greatly influenced by Joseph Campbell, another of my heroes. Campbell\u2019s life\u2019s work was to help us understand the universal message of the Hero\u2019s Journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cThe hero is someone who gives his life over to something bigger than himself.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">-Joseph Campbell<\/p>\n<p>Campbell described the hero&#8217;s journey as occurring in a cycle consisting of three phases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Departure<\/strong>, where the hero leaves the comfortable and familiar world and ventures into the darkness of the unknown<\/li>\n<li><strong>Initiation<\/strong>, where the hero is subjected to a series of tests designed to prove qualities of character<\/li>\n<li><strong>Return<\/strong>, in which the hero brings the boon of the quest back for the benefit of others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Hero&#8217;s Journey is about growth and passage. Each stage of the journey must be passed successfully if the initiate is to become a hero. To turn back at any stage is to reject the need to grow and mature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Lucas brought these themes to film in a way that profoundly changed filmmaking and popular culture worldwide. A powerful partnership occurs when the entertainment industry engages us AND offers us lessons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Three Lessons of<\/strong> <strong>Star Wars<\/strong><br \/>\nFeel the Force (we are all connected)<br \/>\nHate and Fear lead to the dark side<br \/>\nTry not. Do, or do not. There is no try<\/p>\n<p>Two big issues that people are afraid of right now are terrorism and climate change. These are challenges that require collective action. Fear can paralyze us, can lead us to the dark side, <em>or it can cause us to act<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>We convert fear to action when we get inspired by our heroes and act heroic ourselves. Our grandson is a fan of the Avengers. We have learned from him that superheroes never take a day off.
