This document discusses the concept of the hero's journey as described by Joseph Campbell. It outlines the typical stages of the hero's journey cycle, including the call to adventure, refusal of the call, crossing the threshold, trials and revelations, the abyss, slaying inner dragons, and ultimately returning home with lessons learned. The hero's journey is presented as a metaphor for life transitions and challenges that spark personal growth and transformation.
The document summarizes the concept of the "Hero's Journey" as a metaphor for a student's experience in college. It describes key stages of the journey such as leaving familiar surroundings, facing challenges, gaining skills and insight, and ultimately obtaining a "boon" like a degree. It frames both traditional and non-traditional students as heroes and discusses how academic advisors can serve as guides to help students overcome obstacles and complete their journey through college.
The document introduces the main characters of the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller. It describes John Proctor as the central character who is flawed but noble, representing the struggle against unjust authority. It outlines his complex relationship with his wife Elizabeth. Abigail Williams is presented as a manipulative orphan who fuels the Salem witch trials out of revenge. Reverend Hale changes perspectives over the course of the play. Judge Danforth remains static, unrelentingly enforcing the law. The document provides brief descriptions of supporting characters like Rebecca Nurse, Mary Warren, and Thomas Putnam to build context for the play.
The document discusses the declining moral values among youth. It states that youth today lack discipline and respect for elders and teachers, which has led to increased crime, violence, and drug abuse. It attributes this decline to a lack of moral education in schools. Moral values are not taught seriously and are not included in board exams, so both students and teachers do not see the importance. The document argues that moral education should be made compulsory and that workshops should be organized to help youth discuss their problems and ways to improve moral values.
The document summarizes the main characters in Act I of The Crucible. Reverend Parris suspects witchcraft in Salem and pressures Judge Danforth to punish those accused. Abigail Williams falsely accuses others to cover up her affair with John Proctor. Thomas Putnam accuses neighbors to steal their land, while his wife blames Rebecca Nurse for their children's deaths. Mary Warren is afraid of Abigail but wants to please the Proctors. Reverend Hale investigates but later doubts the trials' validity.
The document discusses character development and provides definitions of character from various sources. It summarizes theories of character development from Piaget and Kohlberg, describing stages of moral reasoning. It then introduces the Character Development Scale (CDS), a tool used to help individuals identify strengths and areas for growth across six character traits: kindness, integrity, citizenship, determination, responsibility, and respect. Users reflect on their scores to guide character development.

The document discusses several concepts related to leadership including:
1) Different levels of leadership ability from team member to effective leader.
2) The importance of having the right people, culture, and incentives to achieve organizational success.
3) Effective leadership requires understanding situations empathetically, confronting brutal facts, and retaining faith despite challenges.
The document discusses concepts related to personal growth and mastery from various spiritual teachings and figures.

The document discusses various archetypes and how we can take responsibility for our narratives by evolving beyond surface level understandings of archetypes. It provides quotes about walking in the light and leaving a shadow, life being determined by our attitude not what happens to us, and virtue being persecuted more by the wicked than loved by the good. The document then lists and describes different archetypes like the royal archetype, soldier, guardian, noble cultivator, and immature versus divine child.
The document discusses several philosophical concepts related to finding joy and living honorably through embracing paradox, duality, and constant change. It advocates practicing effective kindness by focusing on self-improvement to better serve others, letting go of attachments to specific outcomes, and helping others help themselves by guiding them to their inner truth. The key is embracing opposing ideas and perspectives through humility, transparency, and perseverance.
This document discusses various factors that shape human identity, perception, and behavior, including genetics, environment, experiences, institutions, and the media. It argues that much of human conditioning and perception manipulation occurs through powerful social, political, and economic institutions seeking to control thought and advance their own agendas, often through propaganda and appealing to irrational human tendencies rather than promoting open debate and consideration of opposing views. The document cautions that widespread manipulation can undermine democracy, promote corruption, and fail to serve the interests of humanity.

A Noble Character 5
6. Vocabulary Definitions
1. Nobility & Impartiality:
• Nobility: quality of mind, character, and spirit; exalted moral excellence.
• Impartiality: a non-condemning perspective, and inclination, to weigh others views and opinions, honorably.
• Perception: the process by which people translate sensory impressions into a unified view of the world around them.
• Paradigm: the theoretical framework within which all thinking and practices operate.
*Everyone’s perceptions and paradigm; are based on incomplete, often unverified, and mostly unreliable information.
*Perception is equated with ‘reality’ for most practical purposes; and guides human behavior, in general.
*A Paradigm is often made up of a multitude of incongruent and false perceptions (thus creating internal and external conflict).
A PARADIGM SHIFT
I was traveling in a subway, a man gets in with his two sons, the sons are running all over the place bothering the people, this
continues, so I finally get irritated enough to ask the father why he doesn't do something to control his kids. The father replies,
"We just got back from the hospital, where their mother died. I don't know how to handle it, and I guess they don't either."
Suddenly, you see everything differently. That is the power of a paradigm shift. They are the same kids yelling and screaming in
the subway, but you look at them and understand them in a different way.
2. Honorability & Authenticity:
• Honorability: demonstrating a sense of altruism, characterized by authenticity; uprightness.
• Authenticity: genuine and undisputed credibility, requiring both transparency and vulnerability.
• Integrity: a steadfast adherence to a strict moral and ethical code.
• Steadfastness: the altruistic alignment of your purpose, missions, intentions, goals, roles, norms and values.
*You are: what you do, how you do, and why you do.
*Life is a process, and sometimes you must be who you are not, to BE, all of who you are.
*There is only right and wrong for you; and only in relation to your purpose, missions, intentions, goals, roles, norms and values.
INTEGRITY OF CHARACTER
Integrity of character does not exist in man. For no man steadfastly adheres to a strict moral code. Does not torture, starvation,
lust, greed, and the desire for power; prove this to be so? So understand this: we can only be steadfast in our purpose and mission.
For our character must be flexible in the fulfillment of our purpose, and strong in the attainment of our mission.
A Noble Character 6
7. 3. Transparency & Vulnerability:
• Transparency: free from pretense and deceit; a lack of hidden agendas and conditions.
• Vulnerability: capable of being resilient when being wounded or hurt; open to criticism.
• Resilient: able to recover readily from difficult and adverse conditions; buoyant.
*Accompanied by the availability of full information required for collaboration, cooperation, and tribal decision-making.
4. Passion & Altruism:
• Passion: a strong and intense devotion to noble service and honorable action; emotions synergized with reason and action.
• Altruism: unselfish regard for the welfare of others; a passionate desire to effectively serve the greater good.
• Synergy: a state is which two or more things work together to produce an affect greater than the sum of its parts.
• Effective: achieving and producing a decisive and desired result; ready for noble service and honorable action.
*Words have multiple meaning. So when you think of the definition for ‘reason’, think of the reason why you are doing what you
are doing, while learning how to do what you are doing, in a more effective way.
5. Hubris & Humility:
• Hubris: an excess of ambition, and an overestimation of one’s capabilities; exaggerated self-confidence.
• Humility: realizing that your success is the result of many people’s efforts; a modest estimate of one’s own importance.
• Compassion: a feeling of deep empathy for another’s misfortune; accompanied by a passion to alleviate their suffering.
• Empathy: the identification with, or vicarious experiencing, of the feelings, thoughts, and attitudes of another.
*Being self-centered is the natural aspect of the child. And as we transcend our adolescence, we transform the ego’s ‘will to
receive’ into a higher state of awareness, where humility and compassion reign supreme.
6. Joyful Self-Sacrificing:
• Self-Sacrifice: sacrifice of one’s own desires and interests, for the sake of tribal duty and the well being of others.
• Joyful Fulfillment: to be elated while being sincere and contributing selflessly, and effectively, to the greater good.
*We must train ourselves to give to others, that which we are afraid to lose. In this way, we are truly realizing the gifts we already
have. For we are only afraid to lose, that which we already have. And knowing you already have it, is the love of giving it to
others. And remember, “it is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is the happiness of the pursuit”. - Waitley

• Strong: Having force of character, will, morality, and intelligence; having a strong backbone.
• Flexible: Adaptable to constant change; capable of being bent repeatedly without injury or damage.
*Demonstrating humility does not necessarily mean being humble, for a strong and flexible character is required in the
effectiveness of our example, and our example is all about the energy we project; so be both transparent and vulnerable. And all‐
ways remember, “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” ‐ Gibran
8. Self-Leadership & Self-Evaluation:
• Self-Leadership: a person who guides and directs himself, while being open to how he achieves the desired results.
• Self-Evaluation: to judge, evaluate, and assess the altruistic worth of one’s own choices, thoughts, words, and deeds.
• Judgment: to form a wise opinion requiring good sense, discretion, and action; the ability to pass a critical evaluation of.
*Your focus determines your perception. Your congruent and incongruent perceptions co-create your paradigm. And your
intentions; in synergy with your focus, perceptions, paradigm, and choices; co-creates your reality. So become wise by embracing
and co-creating your roles, with these truths in mind.
