depends what it is. You could browse a list of archetypes and see what fits. Learn taro and apply them for awareness of yourselves.
Do we want to service others by "saving the world". If so why do we want to be viewed as a hero/heroine? If so what is behind that? Almost always we will then feel "worthy".
Why will we feel worthy then? Behind anger, revenge, depression, powerless and every deep blocked emotion is the feeing of being unloved. We have thousands of years of feeling unloved by others and ourselves. We feel powerless when we cannot change others so that we will feel better. We want them to change so we will feel loved.
We must take responsibility and love ourselves. We can accept all of our desires and shadow identities. Even as we recognize it as the now seeming silly idea of being a hero, we should instead honor it for the past we have lived that created that in duality/contrast however distorted.
Accepting all of our desires and part of ourselves makes us free. And we need to love our darkest selves. All those shadows we don't want to see. Sometimes our shadows are not what we think they are. There are many who are terrified of connection and love for fear of being hurt. This creates an un-intimate and unloving world. Yet at the core of all of us we desire that ONENESS and connection with our Source. Through self acceptance and unconditional love of ourself we can get there. Then we see through everything.
There are plenty of gods and creators. Use caution about the blissful states and what is your true source. Whatever we choose the universe (spirits) will bring us in synchronicity even if it's not intrinsic truth.
