Stage 1 The Departure

Refusal of the Call continued… His world becomes a wasteland and his life feels meaningless All he can do is create new problems for himself and await the gradual approach of his disintegration. (p. 59)

Supernatural Aid For those who have not refused the call, the first encounter of the hero-journey is with a protective figure (often a little old man). (p. 69) What such a figure represents is the benign, protecting power of destiny. The fantasy is a reassurance — a promise that the peace of Paradise, that it supports the present and stands in the future as well as in the past.... One has only to know and trust, and the ageless guardians will appear.

Supernatural Aid continued… Having responded to his own call, and continuing to follow courageously as the consequences unfold, the hero finds all the forces of the unconscious at his side. Mother Nature herself supports the mighty task. And in so far as the hero's act coincides with that for which his society itself is ready, he seems to ride on the great rhythm of the historical process. (pp )

The Crossing of the First Threshold With the personifications of his destiny to guide and aid him, the hero goes forward in his adventure until he comes to the "threshold guardian" at the entrance to the zone of magnified power. Beyond them is darkness, the unknown, and danger; just as beyond the parental watch is danger to the infant and beyond the protection of his society danger to the member of the tribe.

The Crossing of the First Threshold continued… The usual person is more than content, he is even proud, to remain within the indicated bounds, and popular belief gives him every reason to fear so much as the first step into the unexplored. (pp ) The adventure is always and everywhere a passage beyond the veil of the known into the unknown; the powers that watch at the boundary are dangerous; to deal with them is risky; yet for anyone with competence and courage the danger fades. (p. 82)

The Belly of the Whale The idea that the passage of the magical threshold is a transit into a sphere of rebirth is symbolized in the worldwide womb image of the belly of the whale. The hero, instead of conquering or conciliating the power of the threshold, is swallowed into the unknown and would appear to have died. (p. 90)

The Belly of the Whale Continued…. This popular motif gives emphasis to the lesson that the passage of the threshold is a form of self- annihilation. Instead of passing outward, beyond the confines of the visible world, the hero goes inward, to be born again.

The Belly of the Whale Continued…. Once inside he may be said to have died to time and returned to the World Womb, the World Navel, the Earthly Paradise. Allegorically, then, the passage into a temple and the hero-dive through the jaws of the whale are identical adventures, both denoting in picture language, the life-centering, life-renewing act. (pp )

Stage 2 initiation

The Road of Trials: Once having traversed the threshold, the hero moves in a dream landscape of curiously fluid, ambiguous forms, where he must survive a succession of trials. This is a favorite phase of the myth-adventure. It has produced a world literature of miraculous tests and ordeals.

The Road of Trials continued… The hero is covertly aided by the advice, amulets, and secret agents of the supernatural helper. Or it may be that he discovers for the first time that there is a benign power everywhere supporting him in his superhuman passage. (p. 97) The ordeal is a deepening of the problem of the first threshold and the question is still in balance: Can the ego put itself to death?

The Road of Trials continued… The original departure into the land of trials represented only the beginning of the long and really perilous path of initiatory conquests and moments of illumination. Dragons have now to be slain and surprising barriers passed — again, again, and again. Meanwhile there will be a multitude of preliminary victories, unretainable ecstasies, and momentary glimpses of the wonderful land. (p. 109)

The Meeting with the Goddess: The ultimate adventure, when all the barriers and ogres have been overcome, is commonly represented as a mystical marriage... of the triumphant hero-soul with the Queen Goddess of the World. The meeting with the goddess (who is incarnate in every woman) is the final test of the talent of the hero to win the boon of love, which is life itself enjoyed as the encasement of eternity. (p. 118)

Woman as the Temptress: The woman is life, the hero its master. The testings of the hero, which were preliminary to his ultimate experience and deed, were symbolical of those crises of realization by means of which his consciousness came to be amplified. (pp )

Woman as the Temptress Continued: Life, the acts of life, the organs of life, woman in particular as the great symbol of life, become intolerable to the pure, pure soul. The woman above all, become the symbols no longer of victory but of defeat. No longer can the hero rest in innocence with the goddess of the flesh; for she is become the queen of sin. (p. 123)

Atonement with the Father: The problem of the hero going to meet the father is to open his soul beyond terror to such a degree that he will be ripe to understand how the insane tragedies are completely validated in the majesty of Being. The hero transcends life with its peculiar blind spot and for a moment rises to a glimpse of the source. He beholds the face of the father, understands — and the two are atoned. (p. 147)

Apotheosis Those who know, not only that the Everlasting lies in them, but that what they, and all things, really are is the Everlasting, dwell in the groves of the wish-fulfilling trees, drink the brew of immortality, and listen everywhere to the unheard music of eternal concord. These are the immortals. (p. 167)

The Ultimate Boon The hero seeks through his interaction with the Gods, not to be a God, but receive their grace, i.e., the power of their sustaining substance. This miraculous energy-substance and this alone is the Imperishable; the names and forms of the deities who everywhere embody, dispense, and represent it come and go.

The Ultimate Boon Continued… This is the miraculous energy of the thunderbolts of Zeus, Yahweh, and the Supreme Buddha, the fertility of the rain of Viracocha, the virtue announced by the bell rung in the Mass at the consecration, and the light of the ultimate illumination of the saint and sage. Its guardians dare release it only to the duly proven. (pp )
