The Trials of the Hero Journey

In this culture of easy religion, cheaply achieved, it seems to me we've forgotten that the trials of the hero journey are a significant part of it. The Quran speaks, do you think that you shall enter the Garden of Bliss without such trials as come to those who passed before you? There's a big transformation of consciousness that's concerned and what all the myths have to deal with is transformation of consciousness. Well how is the consciousness transformed? By the trials. Are certain illuminating revelations. Trials and revelations are what it's all about.
