Written by Gold Guru, I am submitting on behalf of Gold Guru. Read his bio at the end of this page.Why invest in gold?Gold has fascinated humans over the centuries as a store of real value. Many people view gold as the real form of money. In many instances, we are often challenged by the view that gold does not yield interest and hence it is a poor form of investment. However, gold investment yields us more than just interest but a real storage of intrin

The Hero's Journey:
Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.
Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.
Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.
The Hero's Journey is also a study of repeating patterns in successful stories and screenplays. It is compelling that screenwriters have a higher probability of producing quality work when they mirror the recurring patterns found in successful screenplays.

<The mortgage loan that allows you to pay off your debt and then get into more debt with overspending is a very bad choice. This interest only mortgage could help some people, but more often than not will encourage people to spend more money than they really have to spend.There are so many ways to get credit these days it is no wonder that people are spending way more money than they actually earn. On college campuses there are people everywhere extolling the

Can we give gas stations and incentive of $40,000 one time tax credit to convert 2 or more pumps to Bio Diesel, Flex Fuel or Bio Fuel? Would that provide the catalyst to help get these fuels at most of our gas stations in the United States?Some say it is not enough, yet others think, well it might work? Now then, the other issues I see is that some of the franchisees may have "tie-in" clauses in their franchise agreements and not be allowed to sell the other bl

Wow, have you ever wondered if there's some way to really get good traffic to your site? If you're like me, that can seem like a herculean task. You build that first web site and you find that you're getting 10 to 20 site visits a day, most of which is robots searching your site, not real traffic from potential buyers. How do you get a web site to attract 2,000 or 5,000 or 10,000 visitors a day. That's the subject of search engine optimization. You want yo

Finally home prices are settling down and the overheated housing market is cooling. Last few years selling house has been easy, put an ad in the newspaper or conduct an open house and you will get multiple offers in weeks.If you are in a hot market and/or you have priced your house correctly, buyers may get into a bidding war and the seller may get more than the asking price. Last summer my friend bid for a house in Middlesex County, NJ and there were 15 people

Hero's Journey - Antagonist's True Self Revealed.
The penultimate stage of the standard Hero's Journey is the Master of the Two Worlds (detailed versions include the Afterlife etc...). This stage can also be called the Final Conflict as it is where the hero conquers his or her outer challenge.
The Outer Challenge is conquered in stages of, normally, three: the three catharses. This process is more evident in straight good versus evil stories but can be spotted in other stories (Raging Bull, 1980).
At around about the time of the Second Catharis, the antagonist's true self is revealed and it normally turns out that the antagonist resembles, is familiar with, mirrors, is a shadow or similar of the hero.
Though there is no definite proof or reason for this - except maybe in the fields of psycholanalysis or similar - some texts in literature argue that it is because the hero and antagonist are one and the same; two sides of the same coin - which is why they were destined to battle. It is also stated in some texts that the true reason for the hero's journey is to encourage the antagonist to reveal himself [to himself
