Cycles of Awe Bibiography

(sorry this post is so late. I'm doing massive catch up after a long two weeks)

Working Thesis
People experience cycles of awe (similar to how characters experience the hero's journey [ps thank you +Greg for the comment about the heroic journey]) for two reasons: first, to return to personal sources of awe because of their psychology, as these sources provides for a spiritual enlightenment, comfort, or resolution; second, whether accidentally or purposefully, these cycles continue because people become stuck in an ever circling loop without ever reaching an enlightened, comforted, or resolved state.
