2. THE HERO ENTERS THE SPECIAL WORLD

“The pairs of opposites – life and death, good and evil, and all the other polarities that bind the faculties to hope and fear – are the clashing rocks that crush the traveler, but between which the heroes always pass.”

3. THE HERO ENCOUNTERS TESTS, ALLIES, AND ENEMIES

4. THE HERO LOSES EVERY THING TO GAIN EVERYTHING

“The individual, through prolonged psychological disciplines, gives up completely all attachment to their personal limitations, idiosyncrasies, hopes and fears, no longer resists the self-annihilation that is prerequisite to rebirth in the realization of truth, and so becomes ripe, at last, for the great at-one-ment.”
