That's the ultimate boon.

And you have this incredible desire to do something with it.

It's either knowledge or it's experience or whatever.

And the ultimate boon you have and you feel like this life thing.

And then the next stage is typically refusal of the return.

You really don't want to come back to the ordinary world because you feel that there is some level of consequence that maybe –

you can't handle or somebody won't understand, you know?

Totally.

Yeah.

And this is in the description of the stages.

What you just described is part of that description.

The next stage, you're coming up back into the ordinary world on this return is magic flight.

And the way it's described in, you know, myths or in real life is you have to escape that extraordinary world and take one more dangerous flight or sneak away or something is catapulting you to take that ultimate boon and fight against that refusal.

You're taking magic flight.

And then there is, is it, it's assistance, I think.

Yeah, it's like assistance from a, like a special power or something, which could be your own or somebody else.

And then suddenly you're into the last three, which is crossing the return threshold into the ordinary world, master of two worlds, where you finally realize through help and or process, where you can hold these two opposing life experiences in place.

And then the very last stage, 17, is freedom to live.

and when you can i'm going to give you my little pet theory in a second when you can work your way through those stages you can have the freedom to live what i realized potentially happened to me just my internal feelings about you know my coming in out of the military and back is if you skip or you don't figure out how to deal with the refusal to return and

and you just pick, I'm gonna call it the next big thing, you catapult yourself into a new cycle and you never finish.
