The Hero stumped me the first time I tried to read it.

I searched for resources to help me understand the material but could not find exactly what I wanted.

It appeared to me that I was stuck on a few key questions that were preventing me from grokking the material.
If those questions could be clearly defined, they could be answered. And if they could be answered then a treasure trove of meaning would be unlocked.

Nothing existed like that so I thought I'd make it.
The study guide is a work in progress.

It is arranged around 3 essays of varying degrees of completeness. Though I have the disorganized material for at least 5 more.

It also features a symbols list that you can filter through. And helpful chapter summaries.
The decision to go public now is in defiance to a strong current of resistance that pulls my soul backwards.

The resistance wants me to whittle away in darkness.

But I know if I don't share with you now—I may never.
So I ask of you friends that if you find this useful, interesting, helpful, incomplete, confusing, whatever:

Tell me!

My wife's not on Twitter but all thanks to her.
This a passion project. It starts with the belief that books are magical objects.

That a good book can and should change your life. If you put in the work.

I hope this helps you put in the work.
Oh and if you want a preview without leaving Twitter https://twitter.com/samlearns/status/1317960842692808704
And also I forgot to thank the #roamcult without which a project of this scale would not have been possible.

Next time I'll do a public domain work so that we can leave all those juicy direct quotes in, eh?
