Ralph Zuranski

Ralph Zuranski was born in 1949, at Mercy Hospital in San Diego three months premature. Throughout his life, he struggled to overcome numerous health, emotional and mental challenges, including Asperger's Syndrome, a high functioning form of autism.

Children with autism have a very difficult time relating to themselves and others. To deal with his deep depression, suicidal tendencies, and intense feelings of alienation, he became fascinated with a fictional world filled with comic book heroes, heroines and villains.

His love for stories about underdogs, who triumphed over major obstacles, motivated him to research heroes, heroines and heroism. The difficult relationships in his life finally began to make sense when he learned about the heroes' journey.

There are twelve potential, unique roles we experience during our lives. They are the: Innocent, Orphan, Warrior, Caregiver, Seeker, Lover, Destroyer, Creator, Ruler, Magician, Sage, and Fool.

Ralph’s self-confidence took a quantum leap when he learned about the war in his mind between his right and left-brain hemisphere personalities. He realized he was his own worst enemy and critic. He decided to find a way to make peace between his two waring personalities, so they would love each other and work together.

Amazingly, one day while hitting a tennis ball against a wall, Ralph discovered that when he started using two handed strokes off both sides, the poisonous, self-defeating dialogue stopped. Choosing to use both sides of his body silenced his critical, self-loathing personality that always seemed to want him to fail.

This was one of the most profound epiphanies of his life. Now he could be his own best friend. It was now possible to love himself, so he could truly love others.

Over many years, Ralph developed simple mental and physical exercises to develop a greater integration between his left and right-brain hemispheres. This integration improved his ability to communicate with and relate to himself, family members and friends. It dramatically increased his business effectiveness, mental efficiency, and performance in sports, specifically tennis.

By changing his negative, critical, judgmental, and self-limiting thoughts and beliefs to positive ones, he became more productive, improved his relationships, and enjoyed life more. He believes brain integration and understanding the distinct roles in your own heroes’ journey is the fastest and easiest pathway to personal enlightenment.

Ralph believes you need to be a hero first to yourself before you can be one to your family and friends. When you know and understand the distinct roles you have experienced in your own heroes’ journey, you can choose the next exciting adventure in your life. You can enjoy personal freedom through self-determination.

You can escape your feelings of being trapped by past negative events and current undesirable circumstances. You can experience greater joy, happiness, and productivity by writing your own story about the heroes and heroines in your life.

The easiest way to honor the heroes in your life is to use the simplified heroes journey story outline. All the great authors and screenwriters throughout history have followed the same pattern. Here are the ten basic parts of the heroes’ journey.

1. You are confronted with a challenge.
