I'm a 90's kid. I grew up watching the Power Rangers.. anime like Ghost Fighter and Dragon Ball.. and I've grown to love Spider-man and Batman, I've had toys of them since I was a kid. I was drawn to their great adventures. Growing up as an adult, having to face difficult periods of my life, I've come to learn that these stories weren't just fairytales. They actually contain ancient wisdom about o
ur life journey. Allow me to explain. There was a mythologist named, Joseph Campbell. He studied legends, stories, and sacred texts from all over the world across different cultures. And he found out that they had common themes. He was able to carve out this one over-arching story structure. The big story behind all of these stories. He called it the Hero's Journey
And It's behind a lot of things we like to geek out on. Whether it's Star Wars, Heroes from Marvel or DC, Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter (if you're a Potterhead). And I recently learned from a friend, that it's also in the music of BTS! I believe these stories point back to one single thing. It always circles back home to your True Self, who you deeply are, and the loving face of Unconditional Love. And that's what the Geeky Pilgrim is all about, it's finding meaning in the things we geek out about.
